Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 538 New Mission

"Hehe." Mr. Li's laugh grew even more awkward. "Shili, don't be so serious. I've thought about this for a long time, but I don't know how to bring it up..."

"Then don't say anything." Tong Shili's patience had completely run out.

“I’ll tell you, Shili, don’t be angry. Actually, I’m calling to propose to you. Shili, you know, I’ve liked you from the first moment I saw you, but I never had the chance to confess. Now you’ve left Fan Hua Design and gotten into trouble, but I don’t mind at all. If you come with me, even if we don’t do anything, I will still love you and lend you my shoulder to lean on…”

"You're insane!" Tong Shili abruptly ended the call, showing no respect whatsoever to Boss Li. This Boss Li was old and fat, repulsive to look at, and incredibly narcissistic; she was someone you'd want to strangle.

"Honey...who...called?"

The weak voice made Tong Shili stiffen, followed by a surge of joy. She turned around abruptly and met Bai Ningxuan's gaze. She could no longer contain her surprise and emotion.

"Bai Ningxuan!" she cried out, throwing herself into his arms and hugging him tightly.

"Cough, cough!" Bai Ningxuan almost rolled his eyes again when Tong Shili suddenly pressed him down.

Hearing him cough, Tong Shili realized she had been too rough and quickly got off him. "I'm so sorry, Bai Ningxuan, are you alright?"

Bai Ningxuan glanced at her, struggling to breathe, "You're... planning to... murder your husband..."

Tong Shili gave an awkward smile, but seeing that he could still tease her, she breathed a sigh of relief. She scratched her head and said, "I'm sorry, I got a little too excited and couldn't control myself."

Hearing this, Bai Ningxuan felt a little comforted, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Whose call was that just now?"

Tong Shili pouted: "Nobody, just an unimportant person, we don't need to worry about him."

"He proposed to you," Bai Ningxuan accused.

Tong Shili was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Bai Ningxuan rolled his eyes: "Put the call on speakerphone."

Tong Shili was dumbfounded, only then realizing that she had been so anxious and confused that she had made such a basic mistake. She licked her lips and said, "Sorry, did I wake you up?"

Bai Ningxuan looked at her: "Don't you want me to wake up?"

Seeing Tong Shili's apologetic expression, Bai Ningxuan's eyes held a hidden smile. It seemed that this cold beauty was quite cute when she wasn't so cold.

In the past, Tong Shili would have glared at him and refused to say a word. But after so much, she actually started to explain, "A man proposed to me, but I rejected him." As she spoke, she poured him a glass of water and carefully made him drink it, saying, "Slowly."

Bai Ningxuan took a sip of water: "Who is it?"

"He's just an unimportant man, ignore him."

"No way, daring to propose to my woman, do you think you've lived too long... cough cough..." He started coughing violently halfway through his sentence. Just now, he woke up to hear Tong Shili talking to a man. He was so angry he almost jumped up, but his current body made it difficult for him to do so.

Seeing him like this, Tong Shili quickly said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. No matter who it is, I won't agree to it. Drink some water." Tong Shili said while helping him catch his breath.

"Really?" Bai Ningxuan was even more displeased now. "If I proposed to you, you would refuse too?"

Tong Shili rolled her eyes. Was this guy deliberately reminding her about the marriage proposal?

"Cough cough." Tong Shili stopped responding to him and continued to serve him water. Who knew that this man in his thirties would act like a child and sulk with her. If she didn't answer, he wouldn't drink the water.

Tong Shili smiled wryly but didn't cry: "If you keep making a fuss, I really won't marry you."

Bai Ningxuan's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he gulped down a glass of water. Then, his eyes sparkled as he looked at her, "From today onwards, you are my wife."

Tong Shili was about to complain about him, but when she met his eager and expectant gaze, she swallowed her words. At that moment, she felt both heartbroken and deeply moved.

This man had risked his life for her, and now that he had finally woken up, the first thing he said when he opened his eyes was this. She was truly moved and also very reluctant to part with him.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely buy you the biggest diamond ring ever. Or you can have this one; it's priceless, and I doubt you'd find one bigger." As he spoke, he reached for the diamond ring on his hand.

"Don't!" Tong Shili stopped him. No matter how big the diamond ring was, it wasn't as valuable as Mr. Bai. But she still had many things to take care of. She hadn't yet met the person she had always wanted to see, and she didn't want to drag him into this mess.

She glanced at Bai Ningxuan, then turned her head away and said, "You should know that the bomb wasn't a coincidence, right?"

"So what? With me here, I'm not afraid of a few more coming."

"Bai Ningxuan!" She wouldn't allow him to speak so recklessly. This one time had already terrified her enough, let alone several more. She glared at him, her face serious. "To tell you the truth, I'm being hunted, and there are other things I haven't taken care of. In the meantime, I don't want to implicate anyone, do you understand?"

Bai Ningxuan stared at her intently for a long time without saying a word.

Tong Shili was unsure of his thoughts and nervously spoke again, "So, can we talk about this later?" Her tone was full of pleading, "I promise you, as long as I handle my own affairs, I will definitely come back and give you an explanation."

Bai Ningxuan frowned: "Is this your decision?"

Tong Shili nodded, not daring to look him in the eye. Similarly, Bai Ningxuan wasn't doing much better. His hands, hidden under the covers, were clenched tightly. She knew his capabilities, yet she refused to rely on him, even seeing him as a burden. Did she really think he was so unworthy of entrusting her life to?

Seeing that Bai Ningxuan remained silent, Tong Shili lowered her head and said, "I have something to do, I'll go out for a bit." Then she left.

Bai Ningxuan stared at her back, his deep eyes unreadable, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.

Tong Shili had just stepped out of the ward when she ran into Yan Zuozuo and Chi Moqing, who had come to visit her. Yan Zuozuo walked over and asked, "Shili, how is Mr. Bai now?"

"He's awake. Could you please go in and take care of him? I have some things to take care of."

Yan Zuozuo noticed that Tong Shili's complexion seemed unwell, which puzzled her. However, she didn't say anything in the end, but simply nodded. "Then you go ahead with your work. Mo Qing and I will take care of things here. Shili, we are all friends. If you have any difficulties, please tell us, and we will definitely help you."

Tong Shili paused for a moment, then smiled slightly, "I understand, thank you."

Staring at Tong Shili's departing figure, Yan Zuozuo looked at Chi Moqing with concern, "Honey, I feel like something's not right. Is Shili in any danger?"

Chi Moqing pondered for a moment and said, "Yi Fanxi and Bai Ningxuan are both watching her situation. If there's anything they can't handle, they'll speak up. We don't need to worry."

After Tong Shili's incident, he spoke with Yi Fanxi on the phone and confirmed that it was J who sent the person, and their purpose was very clear: to take Tong Shili's life.

He didn't hide this from his wife. After all, he had worked with Tong Shili for so long, and his wife, being so sentimental, would definitely get involved. It was better to tell her directly and reveal Bai Ningxuan and Yi Fanxi's true intentions so that she would worry less. She was a pregnant woman and shouldn't be involved in anything too dangerous.

As the icy water dripped onto her face, Tong Shili couldn't help but gasp sharply, not only because of the excessively cold water, but also because of the woman in front of her.

White Satan!

Upon seeing her, her pupils suddenly contracted. Despite her innocent and naive face, she knew better than anyone the terror and bloodthirstiness of this woman.

"Black Angel, it's been a long time."

Tong Shili clenched her fist: "Why is it you?"

"Black Angel, that's really sad. We haven't seen each other for years. Why are you so cold to me instead of missing me? Sister Tong is getting more and more mischievous." The woman looked at her with a smile on her delicate face, like a lazy cat.

No, to be more precise, she appeared to be an absolutely harmless angel, but was a complete demon at heart. Wherever she appeared, there was only slaughter and extermination.

It's been so many years since I last saw her, how come she suddenly appeared here?

Tong Shili's heart tightened, a bad premonition washing over her. "Did Master J send you to kill me?"

The woman blinked innocently, tilting her head to look at Tong Shili. "Sister Tong is so mean. I'm such a good girl, how could I do something like that? And..." She suddenly moved closer to Tong Shili, her smile growing even brighter, "If I really wanted to do something, Sister Tong, do you think you'd still have a chance to talk to me now?"

Her words sent a chill down Tong Shili's spine. Although she had prepared herself to die when she received J's text message, she had to admit that she still had a sliver of hope for life when facing death.

However, those whom J wanted to kill never survived.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Let's do it. Yesterday's mission failed, and I'm sure you didn't fare any better. Now, I'll grant you your undefeated record!"

Despite saying that, Tong Shili was already on guard. She was well aware of the woman's strength; although she looked only seventeen or eighteen, she wasn't much younger than her. They had trained together and knew each other's abilities. If it came to a direct confrontation, she wasn't without a chance of survival.

"Hahaha, Sister Tong, why are you so distrustful of people?" The woman laughed innocently, but the next second her face suddenly turned cold. "As expected of J-Master's right-hand man, known as the ace assassin, Black Angel is indeed formidable. But compared to me, you're still a little lacking."

"Tong Shili!" the woman suddenly said sharply, "After what happened yesterday, we have made a new decision. You will not have to die for now; we will give you a chance to redeem yourself."

Tong Shili's heart skipped a beat. If this woman had told her this news, then this matter was probably not so simple, and it was very likely that she would suffer a fate worse than death!

She clenched her fist suddenly, stared coldly at the woman, and spoke abruptly, "You know my mother..."

"Shut up!" the woman suddenly snapped, her eyes dark as she glared at her. "You have no parents. Remember that, you really are an orphan! This time, J-Master is already being exceptionally lenient by giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Don't be ungrateful!"

She paused, then her tone returned to its usual coldness. "This is your last chance to live. Think carefully about what you should do."

Tong Shili remained silent for a long time before finally closing her eyes resignedly and saying in a deep voice, "What mission is it? Tell me."
