Chapter 1341: A Troublesome Proposal

Jiang Chenghao darkened his expression and said, "With you accompanying Xin'ai, you can keep Xin'ai at a distance from Qin Yiyan so she won't be bewitched by him!"

"Bewitched?"

"Yes, Qin Yiyan is too cunning; he will entice Xin'ai into falling for him! Xin'ai is very innocent right now and has no defenses against him, so the final result will surely be her heart being given to the wrong person!"

Without realizing it, Jiang Chenghao's voice grew louder, and his emotions became increasingly agitated.

And his loud voice took Xu Xiaoxiao by surprise.

In her impression, Jiang Chenghao was very much a gentleman; even when facing a romantic rival, he could maintain his reason and composure.

But now...

Xu Xiaoxiao swallowed, feeling as though Jiang Chenghao had turned into a different person.

And Jiang Chenghao himself realized that his emotions were too agitated.

He took a deep breath, and only after calming down a little did he say sullenly, "Sorry, I was too agitated. I didn't scare you, did I?"

"I wasn't scared, but..."

Xu Xiaoxiao wanted to make Jiang Chenghao change his mind; she didn't want to go stay at the Qin Family!

Jiang Chenghao seemed to sense Xu Xiaoxiao's resistance and immediately urged her: "Xin'ai needs you! Besides, if you chat with her, you might be able to help her recover her memory!"

"Xin'ai is... very happy right now."

The implication of Xu Xiaoxiao's words was that she didn't want Liu Xin'ai to recover so quickly, thinking it better to let things take their natural course.

The Jiang Chenghao from before had similar thoughts as well.

But...

He had changed his mind now!

After hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's suggestive words, Jiang Chenghao said, "Is it really a good thing to be constantly immersed in a fake happiness? Have you never considered how she will view her current self once Xin'ai recovers to normal? She won't be able to accept it!!"

Jiang Chenghao hoped Xu Xiaoxiao could change her mind, and his tone carried a sense of urgency.

And his urgency forced Xu Xiaoxiao to make an assumption: "Did you... see something?"

Jiang Chenghao did not speak.

It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Xu Xiaoxiao, but just recalling the scene at that time... he felt he wouldn't be able to control his emotions!

But Xu Xiaoxiao didn't let him evade, instead taking the initiative to ask: "The two of them... had intimate actions?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's words left Jiang Chenghao stunned.

Afterward, he slowly raised his head, looked into Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes, and with hesitation, also carried a coldness: "You've seen it too?"

"No, I just guessed."

To be able to make the steady Jiang Chenghao suddenly become so sensitive, he must have been provoked.

And what could provoke him... could only be his beloved having intimate contact with another man.

However, even after guessing the truth, Xu Xiaoxiao did not have very strong emotional fluctuations.

Qin Yiyan was inherently a very charming person; it was only because his personality was too much of a jerk before that people found him unpleasant in every way.

Now that he was completely compliant with Liu Xin'ai, gentle and considerate, it was quite normal for Liu Xin'ai to fall for him.

But Jiang Chenghao felt it was not normal.

He stared at Xu Xiaoxiao without blinking until Xu Xiaoxiao shivered and raised her eyes to meet his gaze.

And looking at him like this, Xu Xiaoxiao discovered that Jiang Chenghao's eyes had become very profound!

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was about to say something, Jiang Chenghao raised his hand and patted Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulder.

Then he said earnestly: "Xiao Xiao, whether Xin'ai can be stopped from going down the wrong path depends on you!"

"Huh? This... is a bit exaggerated, isn't it..."

"It's not exaggerated at all; Xin'ai's current situation is truly dangerous!"

Dangerous?

It really was exaggerated.

Xu Xiaoxiao made this assessment in her heart, but this time, she did not voice her assessment.

But Jiang Chenghao read her thoughts from her expression, and his brows furrowed immediately as he asked: "Why don't you have any sense of urgency? You are Xin'ai's best friend!"

There was a hint of accusation in Jiang Chenghao's words.

Xu Xiaoxiao could hear it, but she didn't get angry, only saying unhurriedly: "Because my position is different from yours."

"How could it be different? Don't we both hope that Xin'ai will be happy?"

"Yes, but while you hope for Xin'ai's happiness, you also want to win the beauty for yourself."

When Xu Xiaoxiao said this, her eyes were fixed straight on Jiang Chenghao.

Such a stare made Jiang Chenghao suddenly realize that the woman across from him was not just Liu Xin'ai's friend, but also...

A famous psychologist.

And those secrets in the depths of his heart had nowhere to hide in front of Xu Xiaoxiao!

Jiang Chenghao suddenly looked away in a panic.

After a while, he managed to say in a calm voice: "I admit I have selfish motives, but that is only to pursue her openly after Xin'ai gains her freedom!"

"So you are very urgent, while I only hope that Xin'ai can be safe and sound."

During these few visits to the Qin Family, Xu Xiaoxiao discovered that Liu Xin'ai's life was very comfortable.

And her interactions with Qin Yiyan... were very much like a normal young married couple.

Such a plain and normal life was truly too rare.

Xu Xiaoxiao really couldn't bear to break it.

And after a moment of being dazed, Jiang Chenghao asked a question: "Life cannot just consider the present; one must also look at the future, right?"

This statement, Xu Xiaoxiao agreed with.

But...

She let out a long sigh and asked in return, "Before, we were all planning the future for Xin'ai, but what was the result? None of us could have predicted that Xin'ai would encounter those setbacks..."

Xu Xiaoxiao's words carried a heavy sense of fatalism.

This let Jiang Chenghao know...

That he had likely made this trip for nothing today.

Jiang Chenghao closed his eyes, his voice tinged with exhaustion and helplessness: "I know your choice."

"Huh? But I haven't said it yet, how do you know?"

Jiang Chenghao looked at Xu Xiaoxiao, his face expressionless: "Naturally, through your behavior."

"But I didn't reject you, did I?"

Jiang Chenghao couldn't help but frown, asking with little patience: "Are you playing with me?"

"Sorry, I'm not that bored."

Xu Xiaoxiao's expression turned serious.

It certainly didn't look like she was playing with anyone.

Could it be...

Jiang Chenghao's eyes lit up bit by bit, and he tentatively asked: "You agreed!?"

Xu Xiaoxiao had originally intended to refuse.

But for some reason, looking at Jiang Chenghao's pained and sad expression, Xu Xiaoxiao's mind went blank, and she changed her mind.

However, there were some things she needed to tell Jiang Chenghao in advance: "I am only staying for a short while; don't expect any results."

"I know, I just hope you can look after Xin'ai more and not let her be bullied."

Hmm...

Between a married couple, wanting to do something at home... that wouldn't count as being bullied, would it?

Of course, Jiang Chenghao certainly wouldn't want to hear that.

So Xu Xiaoxiao didn't say it, just discussed the details with him further, and then they parted ways.

And not long after they parted... Xu Xiaoxiao regretted it!

That Jiang Chenghao only provided the idea, but the one who had to be thick-skinned enough to go and sponge off them was her, Xu Xiaoxiao!

Li Beijue's expression darkened to the extreme in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode toward the outside.
