Chapter 48: Xiao Cao: A Friend's Wife Must Not Be Bullied

Xiao Cao listened to Qianxunji's words, her gaze toward the cradle where Tang San lay.

At this moment, Tang San had a blank expression.

Moreover, Xiao Cao noticed that when she looked at Tang San, Tang San was actually smiling at her.

A newborn just a few days old, seeing his mother looking at him, how could he possibly smile?

A baby of a few days old, shouldn't he not smile, or even cry?

At this moment, a bold idea suddenly sprang up in Xiao Cao's mind.

Furthermore, recalling how just now Cao Zei had grabbed her hand, her son Tang San suddenly burst into tears.

And Cao Zei, with an icy tone, threatened Tang San, and this newborn baby of just a few days actually immediately stopped crying.

At this moment, Xiao Cao's complexion drastically changed; even her curvaceous delicate body began to tremble, and she tottered over to Tang San's front, demanding:

"Who exactly are you?"

Tang San was a bit flustered at this moment.

He hadn't expected that he would actually be recognized.

He is a transmigrator; having come over, he arrived here and discovered he had become a baby.

In his previous life, as an orphan, he had never known maternal or paternal love; in this life he actually has a father, Tang Hao, and a mother, Xiao Cao, who both dote on him, making Tang San feel overwhelmed with happiness.

And just now, this guy called Cao Zei clung to his mother's hand and refused to let go, so he started crying to prevent Cao Zei from taking advantage of his mother.

And Cao Zei suddenly threatened him, saying he would never be able to have children in the future; he was directly frightened, and thus immediately stopped crying.

Normally, ordinary people wouldn't notice this detail; they'd just think it was a coincidence that frightened him.

And Tang San hadn't expected that the Cao Zei before him would, based on this detail, directly suspect him.

Especially now, after Cao Zei's hint, Mother Xiao Cao also began to doubt herself.

At this moment, Tang San panicked.

However, he felt he must not panic, but must pretend that, just as Cao Zei had frightened him into not crying immediately, it was ten coincidences.

So, facing Xiao Cao's question, Tang San burst into tears.

"Waa… waa… waa…"

Only by crying can one make it impossible to tell true from false.

Look, seeing Tang San cry, Xiao Cao's maternal love instantly surged; she no longer thought about his earlier odd behavior, reached out to hold Tang San in her arms, gently rocking him with both hands, and cooed:

"Little San, little San, don't cry—did Mom scare you? Mom will comfort you!"

Qianxunji saw Xiao Cao overflowing with maternal love and quickly said:

"Character is hungry, quickly feed him milk..."

"Character?"

Xiao Cao frowned slightly, her usually gentle self glared at Qianxunji, and coldly said:

"Cao Zei, please watch your words—don't you feel ashamed scolding a baby like that?"

"A baby?" Qianxunji looked at Tang San in Xiao Cao's arms, really wanting to give him a slap.

"This is no baby; it's clearly a grown adult."

"No, it's a baby's body with an adult's soul."

Faced with Xiao Cao's reproach, Qianxunji did not retort but continued:

"Xiao Cao, Character's face has turned blue from crying—obviously he's hungry; hurry up and feed him milk!"

Tang San lay in Xiao Cao's embrace, listening to Qianxunji's words, and thought to himself:

"Ma de, your scheming is so loud I could hear it even in the womb."

However, Tang San continued to cry nonstop, because he feared that later this guy called Cao Zei would notice something again.

If he were discovered to be a transmigrator, what if Mother Xiao Cao no longer wanted him?

Xiao Cao listened to Qianxunji's words, thought it made sense, and said:

"You go out first; I'll give it a try!"

However, Qianxunji shook his head and said:

"I finally came once, and you actually want to drive me out—I'm a close friend of Tang Hao; how can you bear to do that?"

Qianxunji not leaving is actually not because of lust…

He knows that Tang San is a transmigrator, and he doesn't want Xiao Cao to be seen by Tang San, so he stays in the room and doesn't leave.

As long as he doesn't go out, Xiao Wu won't feed Tang San milk, thus protecting Xiao Cao's privacy.

Xiao Cao heard Qianxunji's words, and a troubled expression appeared on her beautiful face.

Indeed, Cao Zei is a good friend of Tang Hao; if I let him leave, wouldn't I be neglecting him?

So Xiao Cao could only pat Tang San's little body to soothe him, hoping to buy a bit more time.

Because she knows that by this time, Tang Hao's hunting trip is about to end and he'll be back soon.

Then, let Tang Hao keep Cao Zei company drinking, and I'll go nurse the child.

Thinking this, Xiao Cao patted Tang San and said:

"Cao Zei, then I'll keep you company for a while; when Tang Hao returns, he'll keep you company."

"Eh!" Qianxunji let out an "eh," his gaze scorching as he scanned Xiao Cao up and down, and said:

"What Xiao Cao sister-in-law says— Tang Hao is a rough man; all he knows is drinking."

"But you sister-in-law are different—gentle, thoughtful; I'd rather chat with you more, and finally have a thorough all-night talk by candlelight."

"Ah?" Xiao Cao let out a soft "ah," finally seeing Qianxunji's true colors.

As it turns out, he took a fancy to her beauty and wanted to play poker with her while Tang Hao was away.

No wonder, no wonder he kept having her nurse the child.

What a lecher!

He's truly a beast!

Thinking this, Xiao Cao's face turned completely cold toward Qianxunji; she stared at him icily and said:

"Cao thief, you don't understand that a friend's wife must not be violated?"

Qianxunji smiled and said:

"I know a friend's wife must not be violated, but I'm not offending you; I just want to cherish you. How could you betray my good intentions?"

"You... you shameless!" Xiao Cao glared at Qianxunji with a frosty face and rebuked:

"Tsk tsk..." Qianxunji clicked his tongue, his gaze on Xiao Cao's frost-covered pretty face, and praised:

"When you get angry, you have a special charm."

"Besides, I'm about to get dizzy from you shaking me."

"Ah?" Xiao Cao followed Qianxunji's gaze downward, hurriedly hugged Tang San in her arms, and said coldly:

"How can you be so shameless, you're really terrible."

"Bad?" Qianxunji murmured, glancing at the snow-white thigh exposed by the slit in Xiao Cao's long skirt, and laughed:

"If a man isn't bad, a woman won't love him."

"Right, looking at your setup, there's even a mat on the floor in the living room, showing Tang Hao isn't sleeping in the same room as you but in the living room."

Saying this, Qianxunji stomped his foot angrily and said:

"Tang Hao truly doesn't understand women; after so long he still hasn't gotten you, letting such a beautiful woman go unenjoyed—truly foolish."

"If it were me, I could have you in a few days, letting us share a wonderful night together."

"Shameless!" Xiao Cao shouted angrily, her beautiful eyes glaring at Qianxunji, and rebuked furiously:

"Tang Hao isn't like you, damn it; he's a true gentleman."

"Haha... a gentleman?" Qianxunji murmured coldly and said:

"What a bunch of nonsense about being a gentleman; you're so beautiful and hot-bodied, Tang Hao's first thought upon seeing you is to get you."

"It's just that this guy is too timid, afraid of angering you, lacking full confidence, so he's always been proper."

"Unlike me, I come straight to the point, never hiding my true thoughts—that's what a real man should be!"
