Chapter 1544: This Person Really Has No Principles

This terrible attitude made Xu Xiaoxiao's breathing a bit heavy.

Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her palm.

Looking down, she discovered it was Jiang Chenghao holding her hand.

Then, shifting her gaze upward, Xu Xiaoxiao met Jiang Chenghao's eyes.

Jiang Chenghao's gaze was very gentle, as if it had melted away Xu Xiaoxiao's anger in an instant.

Then, he said in a deep, gentle voice, "Aren't you going to take your medicine? I'll help you back."

"Mm, thank you."

It seemed that all of a sudden, Xu Xiaoxiao wasn't angry anymore.

She even lowered her eyes, and with Jiang Chenghao's support, she walked step by step toward the hospital room.

The way her chin was slightly lowered was truly full of... shyness.

The two of them even walked past Wang Sinian.

Wang Sinian's palm clenched involuntarily.

He even wanted to grab Xu Xiaoxiao's wrist and tell her to walk properly, instead of acting like she had no bones the moment she touched Jiang Chenghao!

But in the end... Wang Sinian didn't do that.

He just stared fiercely at those two people, feeling stifled inside!

If it were the old him, and someone had made him unhappy, he would have definitely flicked his sleeves and left!

No, from the very beginning, it would have been impossible for him to meddle in this business!!

But now...

Wang Sinian felt he was just a soft-hearted fool!

Yet, unexpectedly... he hadn't even considered leaving.

He was even secretly competing, wanting to make things unpleasant for Jiang Chenghao!

Rolling his eyes, Wang Sinian followed Jiang Chenghao and Xu Xiaoxiao and returned to the hospital room together.

Jiang Chenghao turned his head and asked naturally, "Where is the medicine?"

"In my hand."

"Then..."

Before Jiang Chenghao could finish his sentence, Wang Sinian walked over and pushed him aside.

Then he said fiercely to Xu Xiaoxiao, "Reach out, take your medicine!"

"I..."

"What, do you have no hands? Do you need someone to feed you just to take medicine?"

Xu Xiaoxiao suppressed her anger and said, "I just wanted to ask how many pills to take at once!"

"Two pills!"

As Wang Sinian said this, he opened the medicine bottle and poured two pills into Xu Xiaoxiao's palm.

Xu Xiaoxiao tilted her head back to swallow them, then reminded Wang Sinian, "I've finished my medicine."

"Mm, I saw."

"Then is there anything else?"

"Nothing."

Xu Xiaoxiao was trying to shoo him away.

As clever as Wang Sinian was, he couldn't have failed to hear it.

But Wang Sinian actually turned around and sat down, with no intention of leaving at all!

This guy... really has no sense of social cues!

Xu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, trying hard to ignore this guy's existence!

Jiang Chenghao glanced at Wang Sinian, then asked Xu Xiaoxiao, "Is Mr. Wang here to take care of you today?"

Xu Xiaoxiao gave a grumpy "Mm."

Having received the answer, Jiang Chenghao said politely to Wang Sinian, "Thank you for your hard work; I will take care of Xiao Xiao from now on."

Wang Sinian snorted coldly, "You don't need to say these things to me. I'm not taking care of her for your sake, and besides... I'm not leaving!"

This was Wang Sinian.

Arrogant, and looking down on everyone!

Jiang Chenghao was also familiar with this guy's style; he didn't get angry, but just asked, "Does Xiao Xiao agree to you staying?"

"I don't care if she agrees or not!"

"That means she doesn't agree, so by doing this, you are just causing Xiao Xiao distress, and as a result, she will recover very slowly."

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded quickly, feeling that Jiang Chenghao had spoken right to her heart.

But just as she made this small gesture, she felt someone glaring at her from the corner of her eye.

Xu Xiaoxiao wasn't afraid of glares; she turned her head and looked defiantly at Wang Sinian.

That unrepentant look... made Wang Sinian narrow his eyes.

He knew this woman was heartless!

He had been taking care of her wholeheartedly, but the moment Jiang Chenghao arrived, she leaned toward him!

Truly unprincipled!

And Wang Sinian was going to teach such an unprincipled person a good lesson!

Wang Sinian's gaze sharpened, and he was about to speak.

But his phone rang first.

Because of this ringtone, he walked out to answer the phone.

When he returned, he said to Xu Xiaoxiao with an unhappy expression: "I'm heading back now, get some good rest!"

Wang Sinian left very abruptly, without explaining a single word.

But Xu Xiaoxiao could tell from his back that he was very impatient.

What could have happened?

Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao staring at the doorway, Jiang Chenghao spoke softly: "With him by your side, you're always getting angry, right?"

Xu Xiaoxiao sighed: "You bet, the moment he opens his mouth, he can anger someone to death!"

"But is he like that with others too?"

"No, he likes to smile hypocritically at others, but with me, he just finds fault in every way."

"Have you ever thought about what the reason might be?"

This question...

Jiang Chenghao seems to have asked this before, right?

Xu Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Chenghao.

Compared to his previous simple curiosity, at this moment Jiang Chenghao... seemed to be hoping to hear something.

It was a pity that Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know what he wanted to hear, so she could only state her true thoughts simply: "Why would I think about that? It's a waste of time."

Jiang Chenghao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said in a low voice: "That's right, for unimportant matters, thinking too much is just a waste of time."

While Xu Xiaoxiao was chatting with Jiang Chenghao, the effects of the medicine kicked in, and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

Jiang Chenghao noticed her drowsiness and asked: "Sleepy?"

"Mm."

"Then sleep, I will stay with you."

Xu Xiaoxiao lay down, pulled up the quilt, and finally said: "I don't need anyone to stay with me here, you should go back."

"I'll just sit for a while, then I'll go back."

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly and soon fell asleep.

Perhaps because of the medication, Xu Xiaoxiao slept very soundly.

And Jiang Chenghao looked at Xu Xiaoxiao without restraint.

He looked for a long time, even becoming lost in thought.

When Jiang Chenghao came back to his senses, his limbs were a bit stiff.

And Jiang Chenghao himself felt a little flustered.

Why had he been staring at this young woman for so long?

Come to think of it... it must be... Xu Xiaoxiao is sick, and he needs to observe whether she has any expressions of discomfort.

Right, that's it!

Jiang Chenghao found a suitable excuse for himself, and then felt at ease.

But the next instant...

He smiled at himself self-deprecatingly again.

Because he suddenly thought that if Wang Sinian had encountered what just happened, he definitely would have said, I looked because I wanted to, there's no reason.

In this regard, Jiang Chenghao quite envied Wang Sinian.

That kind of ego and free-spiritedness was perhaps something Jiang Chenghao could never learn in his entire life.

Jiang Chenghao let out a long breath, then tilted his head back and looked at the ceiling.

Time slipped away bit by bit.

In the hospital room, it was very quiet.

When Xu Xiaoxiao woke up, she discovered that Jiang Chenghao was actually still there.

But he had already fallen asleep.

He was sitting in the single chair, his elbows resting on the armrests, his hands balled into fists, supporting his chin.

This posture looked very uncomfortable at a glance.

Because it was uncomfortable, Jiang Chenghao seemed to be sleeping restlessly, his eyelashes fluttering every so often.

Xu Xiaoxiao wanted to wake Jiang Chenghao up and tell him to go home and sleep.

However...

Under the light, Jiang Chenghao's expression was very calm and also very warm.

Especially his eyelashes, so thick and dense, she really wanted to... reach out and touch them!
