Chapter 1617: Comprehensive Preparation

"Then you, are you not angry anymore?"

Jiang Chenghao curled his lips, smiling and shaking his head.

"Cheng Hao, you are so good!"

Xu Xiaoxiao happily hugged Jiang Chenghao, then turned her head and kissed him hard on the cheek.

This time it was truly hard; Jiang Chenghao could even feel his cheek deforming.

He also hugged Xu Xiaoxiao's waist, preparing to kiss her back.

As a result...

The woman in his arms actually took advantage of his lack of attention to reach back and open the drawer!

Jiang Chenghao was half a beat slow to think of stopping her.

But Xu Xiaoxiao had already taken a piece of paper from inside, and then, like a fish, she slipped out of his arms!

"Xiao Xiao, don't mess around, give that back to me!"

"I will give it back to you, but let me take a look first!"

Xu Xiaoxiao stared smilingly at the content on that page, and even began to read it aloud.

But she had only read two lines before she was caught by Jiang Chenghao.

The item was also snatched back by Jiang Chenghao.

However, it was too late to snatch it back; Xu Xiaoxiao already knew what it was.

It was an unfinished letter.

Jiang Chenghao looked awkward, muttering: "I told you, don't look at it!"

Xu Xiaoxiao was quite happy; she curved her brows and eyes and asked: "Well, I've already looked at it, what now?"

What else could he do, just... be depressed by himself.

Jiang Chenghao sighed, but after raising his brows, he discovered Xu Xiaoxiao was staring at him and smiling.

"Stop smiling, I'm throwing it away right now!"

Jiang Chenghao wasn't just saying it; he really intended to crumple that page into a ball.

Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped him: "No, I want to keep it!"

"Why keep it?"

"This is evidence; it says here that you will be good to me from now on and won't be fierce to me again."

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes were clear and bright, staring at Jiang Chenghao without blinking.

Jiang Chenghao gazed at her, then said in a low voice: "Those things don't need evidence."

As his voice fell, he leaned over and kissed Xu Xiaoxiao's red lips.

The moonlight was beautiful.

The two people who had reconciled kissed very self-forgetfully.

And then, for a moment, they couldn't control themselves...

They crossed the line.

Afterwards, Xu Xiaoxiao leaned softly against the sofa, her cheeks very red.

Jiang Chenghao knew she was tired, so he wrapped her in his shirt and picked her up.

Xu Xiaoxiao draped her arms softly over Jiang Chenghao's shoulders and asked: "What are you doing?"

"Taking you back to your room to take a bath."

Taking a bath was fine.

But...

She said a bit anxiously: "What if someone sees me like this!"

Although Jiang Chenghao's shirt was large and wouldn't let Xu Xiaoxiao be exposed.

But the flush on her face, the marks on her body, and those wet, watery eyes...

Anyone would know what had happened at a glance!

Xu Xiaoxiao gripped Jiang Chenghao's arm, hoping he wouldn't walk out.

Jiang Chenghao smiled and comforted her: "It's very late, everyone is resting too."

"Then... Sister Zhang will be waiting for my news in my room!"

"How about this, let's make a bet; if Sister Zhang is in your room, I'll leave. If she isn't, I'm staying with you tonight."

This bet... seemed to have no benefit for Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao was deep in thought.

Jiang Chenghao took advantage of this time to carry Xu Xiaoxiao out of the study.

The slightly cold air outside the door gave Xu Xiaoxiao goosebumps.

She also became very nervous, her body shrinking into Jiang Chenghao's arms, very worried about being seen.

Fortunately, the study was not far from Xu Xiaoxiao's bedroom.

There was no one along the way either.

Even Sister Zhang was not in Xu Xiaoxiao's bedroom.

This made Xu Xiaoxiao heave a sigh of relief.

However...

Looking at the guy who had entered her room and was looking at her with a smile, Xu Xiaoxiao swallowed.

"Xiao Xiao, let's take a bath together!"

He issued a well-intentioned invitation, and in that instant, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly had a premonition...

She shouldn't even think about getting a good night's sleep tonight!

And that night, Xu Xiaoxiao really didn't sleep much.

When she woke up early the next day, she felt as if her body wasn't even her own.

Her eyelids were heavy, and she didn't even want to move a muscle.

But Jiang Chenghao was full of vigor.

He was like someone who had been starving for a long time and had suddenly been fed.

His whole being was filled with strength.

Before leaving, he even kissed Xu Xiaoxiao on the forehead and urged her to sleep a little longer.

Xu Xiaoxiao responded vaguely, then drifted back to sleep in a daze.

Before falling asleep, Xu Xiaoxiao was still puzzled.

It was clearly the same amount of exercise, so how could their states be so different?

Xu Xiaoxiao slept until noon.

In her hazy state of consciousness, she first smelled a fragrance.

The aroma awakened her taste buds; she twitched her nose and sat up.

"What is that? It smells so good!"

"I cooked beef noodles for you. Get up and eat something."

Xu Xiaoxiao was truly hungry; she had been waiting for Jiang Chenghao to find her something to eat yesterday, but then what happened, happened.

Up until this moment, she hadn't eaten anything for almost a whole day.

Now that the fragrant beef noodles were in front of her, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't care about anything else and just ate to her heart's content!

Watching her wolf down the food, Sister Zhang didn't say anything.

When she had eaten almost enough, she sighed, "I told you to go coax him yesterday, but I didn't expect you to get yourself roped in."

These words made Xu Xiaoxiao instantly recall what had happened last night.

Then...

She put down her chopsticks a bit bashfully and asked, "Where is Cheng Hao?"

"He went to the company. He said there was some meeting, but I didn't catch what it was."

He went to the company?

That meant he wasn't home!

Xu Xiaoxiao immediately felt a bit more at ease and continued to eat.

While she was holding the bowl to drink the soup, Sister Zhang asked, "Did you two take safety precautions last night?"

*Cough, cough*—

Xu Xiaoxiao choked, then spent a good while wiping with a tissue and drinking water to soothe her throat before her breathing returned to normal.

But her cheeks were still red, and her eyes were darting around.

Seeing her like this, Sister Zhang sighed, "It looks like you didn't."

But she knew Xu Xiaoxiao's menstrual cycle, did some mental math, and said, "You're in your safe period now, so the chance of conception is low, but it's not absolute. If you want to be absolutely sure, take a contraceptive pill."

This... Xu Xiaoxiao knew.

She pinched the edge of the ceramic bowl with her fingers and said in a low voice, "I'll go buy some in a bit."

"No need, I've prepared some for you."

Huh?

She even prepared this?

Xu Xiaoxiao looked up, looking incredulous.

Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao's suspicion, Sister Zhang took a box out of the room and placed it in front of her.

"Open it and see!"

Xu Xiaoxiao opened it as told.

Then she saw that it was filled with contraceptives.

This included contraceptive pills as well.

Xu Xiaoxiao swallowed hard and sighed, "You're so thorough with your preparations!"

"Hey, after all, the salary is so high, it's only right to put in more effort."

However...

Sister Zhang picked up a small purple box and asked, "Is this enough? If not, I'll help you buy more."

Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at it, turned bright red, and said straight away, "It's enough, it's enough! Really!"

"Hmm... I advise you to think it's not enough!"
