Chapter 1616: Go Coax Him

Analyzing it this way, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but mutter: "This is a way to kill two birds with one stone. Not only can it ensure Xiao Xiao's safety, but it's also fighting on home turf, so the chances of winning are high!"

As her voice fell, Jiang Baobao smiled and tilted her head up: "Hubby, you have to do your best!"

Jiang Baobao's smile was brilliant, like a gemstone, dazzling Li Beijue's eyes.

He stared deeply at Jiang Baobao, then his voice grew a few shades huskier as he said, "You have to do your best, too."

"Why, does this plan still need my effort? Then tell me quickly, what do I need to do?"

Jiang Baobao was a bit excited, and at the same time, she wore a look of anticipation.

Under her expectant gaze, Li Beijue leaned over and whispered something in Jiang Baobao's ear.

The content...

Made Jiang Baobao's ears turn red instantly!

She gave Li Beijue a playful, reproachful push and asked, "You've been tired all day, and you're still in the mood."

"Why wouldn't I be? Originally, I had prepared a little surprise for you at the Forest Cabin. Now that the surprise is gone, I can only go home and be intimate with my wife."

"You even prepared a surprise? What surprise?"

"Just some clothes you haven't worn, props you haven't used, and..."

Jiang Baobao really couldn't listen anymore; she hurriedly covered Li Beijue's lips and said with an awkward expression, "Alright, stop talking!"

Li Beijue was very obedient and didn't continue.

He only used his lips to kiss the palm of Jiang Baobao's hand.

Jiang Baobao withdrew her hand and muttered with an awkward look, "I really couldn't tell; you're so quiet, yet your mind is quite wild."

"It's not like you don't know how wild I am."

"But we have to attend to business."

"The two don't conflict; let's hurry back now."

They were indeed about to set off.

But with Li Beijue urging her like this, why... did the tone of everything change?

Jiang Baobao gave a light cough, trying hard not to let her thoughts wander in a crooked direction.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xu Xiaoxiao was racking her brains, trying to think of something to say.

But... what should she say?

She stared out the car window, truly unable to think of a good topic to break the silence.

And so, struggling along the way, Xu Xiaoxiao felt her eyelids growing heavier and heavier...

By the time Xu Xiaoxiao regained consciousness, the car had already stopped in the garage of Jiang Zhai.

So, she had actually slept the whole way!?

Xu Xiaoxiao was very annoyed.

She even cast a glance at the person beside her.

Then she saw Jiang Chenghao get out of the car with a calm expression.

Was he... angry, or not?

Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and hurriedly followed him out of the car.

Sister Zhang was already preparing to go to sleep.

Hearing the sound of a car engine outside, she came out to take a look.

As a result, she saw the young couple walking in, silent and quiet!

"Oh, why are you back so suddenly? Weren't you supposed to stay another night?"

Jiang Chenghao looked up and said indifferently, "Something came up; the event ended early."

Something came up?

This... probably wasn't anything good.

Sister Zhang wanted to ask more, but Jiang Chenghao had already gone to the study.

And Xu Xiaoxiao had returned to her room.

Hmm...

Did these two have a fight?

Sensing something was wrong, Sister Zhang went to Xu Xiaoxiao's room under the guise of delivering milk.

Xu Xiaoxiao was sitting in her room in a daze; hearing the movement, she glanced at the door and said, "Take it away, I don't want to drink it."

"Then I'll drink it, and you tell me what happened."

Sister Zhang placed the milk on the table, then sat down beside Xu Xiaoxiao, looking like she was all ears.

Xu Xiaoxiao hadn't wanted to talk at first.

But at this moment, she felt a bit lost and a bit anxious, so after hesitating for a moment, she told her everything exactly as it happened.

At first, Sister Zhang's expression was quite relaxed.

But as she listened further, her expression turned stern.

When she heard about using herself as bait...

She simply reached out and poked Xu Xiaoxiao's forehead, saying, "You, oh you, you really are muddled!"

Xu Xiaoxiao swayed her body with Sister Zhang's movement.

Then she said listlessly, "Sister Zhang, don't lecture me anymore; Xin'ai and the others have already said what needed to be said."

"Fine, I won't say it, then you go and do what you need to do!"

Xu Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and asked, "What should I do?"

"Your boyfriend has been hurt by you, tell me, what should you do?"

Hmm...

Xu Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought.

But in Sister Zhang's view, there was no need for deep thought!

She couldn't help but poke Xu Xiaoxiao's forehead again and said anxiously, "Of course you should coax him!"

"But Cheng Hao doesn't seem to be angry anymore."

"But he still minds it in his heart. I saw him go straight to the study; who knows if he'll use work as an excuse and not sleep all night."

Not sleep all night?

That won't do, his body won't be able to take it!

Xu Xiaoxiao knitted her brows, a look of urgency on her face.

Suddenly, she felt something extra in her hand.

Looking down, she saw it was a glass of milk.

And Sister Zhang, who had placed the milk in her hand, said, "I've even found an excuse for you, go on."

"But..."

"No more 'buts.' Since you know you were wrong and know what you should do, don't dawdle, go now!"

As she spoke, Sister Zhang took hold of Xu Xiaoxiao's arm and pushed her toward the door!

Just like that, Xu Xiaoxiao was half-pushed, half-willingly led to the door of the study.

Sister Zhang even knocked on the door for her.

"Come in."

Well, now she couldn't back out even if she wanted to.

Xu Xiaoxiao gave Sister Zhang a gloomy look, then pushed the door open and walked into the study.

At this moment, Jiang Chenghao was sitting at the desk, writing something.

He didn't seem to expect that the person entering was Xu Xiaoxiao; he was stunned for a moment, then stuffed the thing in his hand into a drawer.

This act of concealment was just too obvious...

Xu Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously, "What are you writing?"

"Nothing, just... some documents."

Jiang Chenghao's eyes shifted; one look and it was clear he had a secret!

A secret he couldn't let Xu Xiaoxiao see!

Xu Xiaoxiao slowly placed the milk in front of Jiang Chenghao.

Then she stared at Jiang Chenghao without blinking and asked a question: "Are you secretly writing bad things about me?"

"No!"

"Then let me see, let me confirm it!"

"No!"

"Why not? Didn't you say you weren't writing bad things about me?"

"But... it involves company secrets, I can't let you see it!"

Company secrets, indeed...

It was all an excuse!

Xu Xiaoxiao was certain that the thing Jiang Chenghao hid was definitely related to her!

No, not being able to see it was driving her crazy!

Xu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, and then...

She suddenly lunged forward, reaching out to open the cabinet!

But Jiang Chenghao easily pinned down Xu Xiaoxiao's arm and asked, "You came to find me, is something the matter?"

Come to think of it, there really was something!

Xu Xiaoxiao realized belatedly that she had come here to coax him.

Immediately, she straightened her posture and said with a sincere expression, "I acted rashly today and ignored your feelings, I'm sorry."

Her change was a bit sudden, and Jiang Chenghao was stunned.

After a moment of reaction, he seemed to finally understand what Xu Xiaoxiao meant.

This softened Jiang Chenghao's gaze, and he said, "I also had my faults; I didn't communicate with you properly."
