Perfect Pampered Marriage: Good Morning, Hubby

Million Dollar Slap

Yin Tangyi had a sour look on his face and was completely speechless. He had been mistaken; he thought she showed up to express her regret, but it turned out that she appeared to tell him she was married! He was just lying when he said he was getting engaged, but apparently, she was not when she said she was getting married!

At that moment, as he beheld the intimacy she shared with Mo Nianchen, he could feel his heart being torn viciously into pieces, it might never be pieced wholly together again. After all this time, the most he had ever managed was just holding her hand…

...

Qiu Haitang was shocked as well. She even said that Li Shengxia came here for her son and it turned out she had given herself a good slap in the face.

“I did not expect the crown prince to be here today as well, it’s a great honor for our Tangyi. The crown prince’s being here brings us great pleasure,” Qiu Haitang said smiling to the crown prince. Compared to the tone she used when she was speaking with Li Shengxia, it was like this was a completely different person.

“I’m here for my honeymoon with my wife, what does that have to do with your son?”

Mo Nianchen’s immediate, sharp response nearly caused Qiu Haitang to choke herself to death.

What! The crown prince is married! To Li Shengxia no less!? How is this possible! What Li Shengxia said just now was true? She was married? To the crown prince?

“Shengxia, why did you not tell us that your husband is the crown prince!” the same high school classmate who had scorned Li Shengxia just a moment ago began to flatter her shamelessly, “We are close friends after all, why didn’t you send an invitation to your wedding.”

When did I become close friends with a cheap opportunist like you? Li Shengxia was disgusted.

“When did the crown prince get married, how come there was no word of it. Shame on us for not recognizing the missus, truly, truly sorry. Please do forgive us, dear crown princess.”

Crown princess… Could you spare the gross title, she did not remember ever being so close to Mo Nianchen!

Mo Nianchen got up and put his coat on Li Shengxia and said in a sappy manner, “Put on some extra clothes. Look at you, your cheeks have turned red from the cold.”

Mo Nianchen’s casual statement nearly scared the hell out of Qiu Haitang! How could she forget that it was none other than her who had slapped Li Shengxia just now. If Li Shengxia brought it up, and the crown prince further pursues the matter, her days would be numbered!

“Crown prince, the blush is not from the cold, she was hit by someone,” some vile opportunist immediately stood up for Li Shengxia. If there was a chance to get into the good grace of the crown prince, who would not pounce at it?

There was nobody else at the moment who was in a worse position than Qiu Haitang! So many pairs of eyes witnessed her slapping Li Shengxia just now. With the opportunity to get on the good side of the crown prince right in front of them, who in the right mind would not take the chance to switch sides?

“Oh? I’d be curious to see who had the audacity to touch my woman.” Mo Nianchen kept the smile on his face, but his eyes began to turn harsh and cold, jolting everyone who saw it.

Qiu Haitang noted that the situation was not looking good for her. Instead of being exposed by the others, it was better to just give herself up, at the very least it would spare her a horrible death. She immediately walked in front and grabbed Li Shengxia’s hands. She gently patted them, her expression was that of a tender-hearted elder—

“Oh, Shengxia, a thousand words cannot express how sorry I am. Aunty did not know you were passing through, the wind was too big just now and I accidentally hit you, did I hurt you? Please, don’t hold this against me.”

How could Li Shengxia possibly not hear the venom in Qiu Haitang’s words? This woman had humiliated her beyond reason, she never held it against her for Ah Yi’s sake. Now that things have turned out like this, she still had the audacity to threaten her in front of so many people?

“The wind sure is pretty big, it even managed to topple the glass tower,” Li Shengxia said plainly, a cunning sneer surfaced on the corner of her lips as she spoke.

Anyone with common sense could figure out that glass towers do not fall under ordinary circumstances. The only possible explanation was that someone did something with the intent of hurting Li Shengxia!

Wen Ting’er felt herself tremble all over when she had heard that. She did not expect Li Shengxia to have a card up her sleeve, it was a card imprinted with the golden symbol of the crown prince!

“Shengxia, it’s all my fault for not having someone properly check the venue, I’m so sorry I almost hurt you. I hope you can find the generosity to look past this,” Wen Ting’er spoke out.

“That sure is a strong wind. Babe, what do you think?”

She figured, if he was planning to help her anyway, why not just go along with the flow, whatever his motives may be?

When the thought occurred to Li Shengxia, she smiled faintly. “Isn’t the crown prince very capable? Even the wind itself has to stand three inches lower before you, send it back however it came.”

He pinched her nose playfully and said with a smile, “Babe, you are sure are doubting me here. Not only is this wind going to be sent back, I’m going to send it back ten folds fiercer.”

Is it so hard to just talk without all that touching? Li Shengxia thought, somewhat annoyed.

The candidness of their conversation terrified Qiu Haitang and Wen Ting’er.

“Shengxia!”

“Shengxia you can’t do this! Think of our past friendship!” Wen Ting’er was this close to bursting out in tears.

Past friendship? You mean the friendship they shared when she stole her boyfriend and stabbed her in the back? Good thing she reminded her, now she remembered.

“Since you’re calling her crown princess already, let her decide what to do,” Mo Nianchen said plainly.

Qiu Haitang had never faced such a degree of humiliation before. She was born to an upper-class family; the Yin family was up there as one of the most esteemed families of Y City. If word got out of her son getting slapped in the middle of his engagement party, no less, by Li Shengxia who she never cared much for, what would happen to her reputation?

“Shengxia, I’m still the wife of the CEO of the Yin Shi Group. It doesn’t matter how the wind blows, it’s still my fault at the end of the day that you got hurt. How about this, Shengxia. Name your price, anything that will appease you.”

Qiu Haitang had been this way ever since she was a child, she was used to resorting to solving problems using money.

It would have been better if she did not say anything at all. The moment she had said that, Li Shengxia remembered how she always looked down at her with eyes full of contempt and disdain, she remembered how she would mock her and make jests at her expense.

You want to buy your way out of ten slaps?

Li Shengxia turned to look at Mo Nianchen. “What does the crown prince say?”

“Anything my babe wants.”

“Since aunty is being so generous, how about this. A million for a slap, that makes ten million for two slaps.”

Qiu Haitang was bewildered. “Ten million? Are you trying to rip me off here?”

“Does the aunty think it’s too much?”

She was clearly reminding her that the situation this time is different from before with this question! She had slapped none other than the crown princess!

The horrified expression of Qiu Haitang could not be put into words! Either take ten slaps or pay her ten million! She found herself on the edge of a cliff with these two choices!

How could a slap cost her so much!? But if she did not pay up she was going to be utterly humiliated before so many people!

Mo Nianchen said chillingly, “Looks like you can’t afford it. In that case, slapping will do—”
