Chapter 1598: Move In and Live With Me

Qin Yiyan did not feel there was anything wrong with his behavior.

He continued to look straight at Liu Xin'ai and said, "If this happened to me... well, it couldn't possibly happen to me! As a husband, how could one let his wife worry?"

Qin Yiyan's performance made even Liu Xin'ai unable to watch any longer.

She said in a low voice, "That's enough!"

"Alright, if you don't want to listen, I won't say it."

Qin Yiyan wore a beaming smile, then took hold of Liu Xin'ai's hand.

Liu Xin'ai shook her head at him and pulled her hand back.

These two were currently as thick as thieves, living in bliss.

But even so, Liu Xin'ai was still not quite used to being overly intimate in public.

Qin Yiyan did not force the issue, merely pouring another cup of tea for Liu Xin'ai with great consideration.

Xu Xiaoxiao sat opposite them, watching in amazement.

She could tell that Liu Xin'ai had become unhappy because of a single sentence from Qin Yiyan.

And as for Qin Yiyan, he had coaxed Liu Xin'ai into blooming like a flower with just a few words!

Tsk tsk, the way Qin Yiyan did this was, to some extent, sweet-talking.

But what woman doesn't hope to be held in the palm of the hand by the one she likes, coaxed into happiness?

In any case, after her surprise, Xu Xiaoxiao felt a bit envious.

Liu Xin'ai was just about to lift her cup to drink tea.

Raising her eyes, she saw Xu Xiaoxiao looking at her with an envious gaze.

This made Liu Xin'ai unable to help but cough lightly.

Then she chided, "Stop looking, drink your tea."

Xu Xiaoxiao did not move, but smiled and said, "So happy, and you won't even let people look a little more?"

"Then you can look in the mirror; you are also very happy."

Hmm...

That was true!

Thinking of the man who made her happy...

Xu Xiaoxiao looked toward her side with a smile.

Yet she discovered that the person beside her was staring blankly with his head lowered.

Xu Xiaoxiao nudged Jiang Chenghao with her elbow and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Chenghao looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and replied, "Thinking of you."

"But I'm right by your side."

"That doesn't stop me from thinking of you."

The tone Jiang Chenghao used to say this was very serious.

It seemed as if he were simply speaking his true feelings.

Yet in Xu Xiaoxiao's view, that wasn't just true feelings, it was... sweet talk!

This guy had even learned to use honeyed words!

Xu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, revealing a shy smile.

Qin Yiyan, listening from the side, could not help but comment, "I didn't expect him to be this kind of Jiang Chenghao."

Liu Xin'ai also smiled.

But deep down, she felt a bit uneasy.

She sensed Jiang Chenghao's absent-mindedness.

This guy... must have a secret.

And a secret related to Xu Xiaoxiao at that.

Liu Xin'ai had not guessed wrong; Jiang Chenghao indeed had a secret.

He always felt that Xu Zixin and the Xu Family were a hidden danger.

If they were to harm Xu Xiaoxiao...

Jiang Chenghao could not help but press his lips together tightly, a flash of darkness passing through his lowered eyes.

Liu Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan did not stay long, leaving after drinking a few more cups of fruit tea.

Jiang Chenghao had originally intended to leave as well.

But he dawdled, and it was already nearly nine o'clock, yet he hadn't mentioned leaving.

Instead, Xu Xiaoxiao, worried that he still had to work tomorrow and would lack energy if he stayed up late, urged him to go back.

Jiang Chenghao looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and sighed, "I can't bear to leave you, what should I do?"

"Alright, don't say things like that anymore!"

Hearing one or two sweet words was fine, but if he said too many... Xu Xiaoxiao was afraid her heart rate would become irregular!

Jiang Chenghao was very obedient; since Xu Xiaoxiao wouldn't let him, he simply stopped talking.

He just stared straight at Xu Xiaoxiao.

That stare... made Xu Xiaoxiao's heartbeat even faster.

At the same time, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, what was wrong with this guy today? Did he only feel satisfied if he made someone's heartbeat abnormal?

No, if he made her heart thump wildly, then she would make Jiang Chenghao uncomfortable too!

Thinking this, Xu Xiaoxiao bit her lip again and reached out to hug Jiang Chenghao's waist.

This action made Jiang Chenghao's body stiffen.

The next second, he hugged Xu Xiaoxiao back and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to hug you. Lately, I've felt like this happiness is unreal, as if I'm in a dream."

Xu Xiaoxiao was also speaking sweet nothings.

It was just that once spoken aloud, it felt like something was missing.

Xu Xiaoxiao was considering where it needed improvement when she suddenly felt a pain in her ear!

This caused Xu Xiaoxiao to let out a cry, and at the same time, she pushed Jiang Chenghao away and asked indignantly, "Why did you bite me?!"

Jiang Chenghao, however, had an innocent look on his face: "To let you know that you aren't dreaming right now."

"You... I was just using a metaphor!"

This guy really is oblivious to romance!

Xu Xiaoxiao rubbed her ear indignantly while complaining about Jiang Chenghao in her heart.

Jiang Chenghao stood where he was, tilted his head, and asked, "Did it hurt?"

"Yes!"

"Then let me blow on it for you."

As he spoke, Jiang Chenghao grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao's arm and fixed her in his embrace.

Then he bent his waist and blew air onto her pink earlobe.

That spot was already very sensitive, and with a blow like that...

Xu Xiaoxiao's body couldn't help but tremble!

She had just been complaining that Jiang Chenghao didn't understand romance.

But now it seemed...

Did he not understand? Clearly, he understood too well!

He had mastered this method of teasing people to perfection!

Half of Xu Xiaoxiao's body went soft, and she hurriedly begged for mercy: "Alright, alright, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Her voice unconsciously carried a tone of surrender and ingratiation, just like a cat.

Hearing this, Jiang Chenghao's heart stirred.

He originally hadn't had any ideas; just now, doing those little things with Xu Xiaoxiao was just to linger a bit longer, as he didn't want to go home.

But now...

Jiang Chenghao only felt his blood rushing, and staring at that earlobe, he also felt it was very alluring...

But just as Jiang Chenghao was about to do something, Xu Xiaoxiao raised her hand, cupped his cheeks, and said earnestly, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest; you still have work tomorrow."

Sigh, he still didn't want to leave.

Jiang Chenghao sighed silently in his heart.

Immediately, his gaze swept casually toward Xu Xiaoxiao's bedside.

There used to be an aromatherapy diffuser there.

But now, the diffuser had been disposed of under some pretext.

Yet the feeling of being monitored still remained.

Jiang Chenghao also calmed down instantly and asked, "Have your parents and sister contacted you again?"

"No, but it will be soon."

Xu Xiaoxiao had been cleared of her grievances and was starting to thrive again.

Her opportunistic family would naturally come crawling back without any psychological burden.

Xu Xiaoxiao felt a bit helpless regarding those family members of hers.

Or rather, she was a bit helpless toward people who were thick-skinned and shameless.

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was sighing, she heard Jiang Chenghao say: "Do you want to move in and live with me?"

In this instant, Xu Xiaoxiao felt her face turn bright red with a "boom"!

Her eyes shifted, and she blinked repeatedly, saying, "This... this is too fast!"

Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao like this, one knew she had thought of other things.

Jiang Chenghao certainly wanted to live with Xu Xiaoxiao.

But that matter could be taken slowly.

It was just that right now...

Jiang Chenghao explained: "I don't mean anything else; I'm just worried that your family will come to harass you, and you won't have the heart to refuse them."
