Chapter 1582: As Long As My Girlfriend Likes It

Sister Zhang was speechless the moment she heard it.

She had told Xu Xiaoxiao to fake an illness herself, but look at how she turned out!

She turned a freebie question directly into a death trap!

No, she couldn't keep watching; it was too easy to get angry!

Jiang Chenghao was also amused to the point of anger, and he even said, "It hurts, I'm so angry it hurts!"

"Then let me massage it for you!"

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't catch the subtext and instead wanted to curry favor.

But just as Jiang Chenghao sat down on the sofa, he saw a shadow running happily toward him.

And it hopped onto his lap with a very agile movement.

The puppy was wagging its tail frantically while rolling around on Jiang Chenghao's legs.

That cheeky look made Xu Xiaoxiao unable to help but comment, "It certainly likes you."

Jiang Chenghao raised his hand to touch the puppy's nose, then asked, "Have you given it a name yet?"

"Not yet."

"Then let's think of a name for it."

A name...

Xu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, her eyes lighting up: "Let's call it Chicken Leg!"

Jiang Chenghao chuckled and asked, "Are you craving chicken legs?"

"Not really, don't you think the shape of its head looks a lot like a chicken leg?"

Jiang Chenghao looked over...

How did it look like a chicken leg?

It was clearly a very cute inverted triangle.

If Xu Xiaoxiao had called it Triangle Bun, Jiang Chenghao wouldn't have had any objections.

This Chicken Leg...

Forget it, as long as his girlfriend likes it.

After a bit of internal struggle, Jiang Chenghao said, "It does look quite like one."

"Then let's call it Chicken Leg!"

As she said this, Xu Xiaoxiao picked up Chicken Leg.

Her nose twitched, then she leaned in to sniff it and muttered, "Why does it smell so good?"

"Because it just had a bath."

Xu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at him and asked in confusion, "How do you know?"

Jiang Chenghao was somewhat helpless: "Dogs can't emit a fragrance on their own; it must have just had a bath. That's common sense, okay?"

While Jiang Chenghao was speaking, the puppy began to lick the back of Xu Xiaoxiao's hand.

The sensation was ticklish and slippery, and Xu Xiaoxiao was giggling with amusement.

Watching Xu Xiaoxiao laugh so happily, Jiang Chenghao's previous misgivings vanished into thin air.

He even said, "It seems it really likes you."

"It likes this name!"

This...

Jiang Chenghao didn't comment.

Afterward, he didn't ask about the Xu Family again, because he didn't want to ruin the current atmosphere.

Besides... he could ask Sister Zhang.

Anyway, Sister Zhang was very happy to reenact the scene with her words.

And that was indeed the case.

While Xu Xiaoxiao was out walking the dog, Jiang Chenghao learned the whole sequence of events from Sister Zhang.

After describing it, Sister Zhang nudged Jiang Chenghao with her elbow and urged, "I've vouched for you in front of Xiao Xiao, so you can't make me lose face."

Jiang Chenghao lowered his eyes, his expression unreadable, and said, "Don't worry, it's impossible for me to have anything with Xu Zixin."

"That's not all; you have to make her give up on you!"

Mentioning this...

Jiang Chenghao said with some irritation, "I never gave her any hope!"

"This has nothing to do with you. Xiao Xiao said that her younger sister just likes to snatch her things. With a boyfriend as excellent as you, Xu Zixin will naturally feel tempted."

"She's truly sick!"

"I think so too, but I've discovered that the Xu Family are just bullies who fear the tough; if you're truly ruthless, they wouldn't dare do anything."

Jiang Chenghao felt the same way.

Sister Zhang thought for a moment and suggested, "Why not give them a good scare?"

"Just scaring them won't work; you have to make them afraid, afraid to their very bones, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Jiang Chenghao narrowed his eyes and muttered, "They will use their status as family to hurt Xiao Xiao!"

Harm from family is often the most fatal.

And it is also the hardest to guard against.

After hearing this, Sister Zhang fell silent.

After a few seconds, she said viciously, "To have such a family, it's truly eight lifetimes of bad luck!"

"One cannot choose one's family, but I will always stay by Xiao Xiao's side."

Jiang Chenghao's tone was firm, and he would do as he said.

Sister Zhang had not known Jiang Chenghao for very long, but she quite trusted the young man's character.

She also believed he would fulfill his promise.

And the problem that needed to be solved now...

Sister Zhang crossed her arms and muttered, "What on earth is the way to make the Xu Family behave?"

"There is a way, I am still planning it."

Upon hearing Jiang Chenghao's words, Sister Zhang laughed: "As long as there is a goal, then you plan well. You certainly don't need to worry about Xiao Xiao being at home; I will protect her!"

"Mm, thank you."

"No need for such formalities, just give me a bit more bonus!"

"I certainly will, but don't let Xiao Xiao know."

"Rest assured!"

The two were secretly discussing when someone suddenly pushed the door open!

That person was even shouting loudly: "This dog is beyond saving!"

Sister Zhang and Jiang Chenghao looked over and saw Lucky soaking wet, with mud all over its fur.

At a sudden glance, it really did look beyond saving.

Sister Zhang hurriedly grabbed a large towel, wrapped the dog up first, and then asked: "Did this... fall into the pond?"

"Yes, if I hadn't been holding its leash at the time, I wouldn't have been able to fish it out!"

"Strange, isn't this breed of dog quite smart? How did it head straight for the pond?"

Xu Xiaoxiao also didn't know what kind of madness it was having at the time.

But Jiang Chenghao knew, and he said with a smile: "It must be because you called it Lucky; the more it heard, the more excited it got, and it couldn't hit the brakes."

"So it's my fault then?"

Xu Xiaoxiao was unhappy and pouted her red lips.

Seeing this, Jiang Chenghao stopped teasing her, leaned over to kiss her, and said with a smile: "Leave it to me, I'll help you train it."

He was truly very good at training dogs.

After the dog had a bath, he started training it; in just two or three hours, the little dog had already learned several commands.

This made Xu Xiaoxiao marvel in wonder.

In the end, she even concluded: "Did you give birth to this dog!"

What kind of nonsense was that!

Jiang Chenghao grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao and punished her.

As for what the method of punishment was...

Anyway, Sister Zhang couldn't bear to look.

Sigh, she just said it; wherever a young couple is, she is just a lightbulb!

After Jiang Chenghao helped set up Xu Xiaoxiao's workstation, Xu Xiaoxiao officially returned to school to work.

Having rested for this period of time, Xu Xiaoxiao felt her body was full of strength!

But having experienced so much, Xu Xiaoxiao knew all too well how important it was to balance work and rest.

So even though she was very motivated, she did not let herself go.

Instead, she followed her previous plan, doing what needed to be done at the right time.

Her colleagues were very welcoming of Xu Xiaoxiao's return.

They even teased Xu Xiaoxiao, saying her boyfriend was too thoughtful, making everyone now want to come over to Xu Xiaoxiao's place to sit.

The director also came to see Xu Xiaoxiao, but...

He seemed a bit hesitant to speak.

The director's behavior made Xu Xiaoxiao misunderstand, and she hurriedly said: "Do you think my setup here is too exaggerated? I'll change it back..."

"No, no, this is quite good. I'll buy a set like yours later too."

Jiang Baobao stared at the screen, her heart sinking as she realized the evidence had been wiped clean.
