Chapter 512: Our Love Is Just Right Here

Half an hour later—

Liu Xin'ai wiped her hair and sat back down on the edge of the bed.

Her whole body was permeated with moisture, and her complexion was somewhat weary; the small patch of skin on the side of her neck had been rubbed bright red by fingers, which instead made that small mark appear even more vivid and bright.

"Buzz—!"

Her phone suddenly vibrated violently, startling her out of her blank thoughts.

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly picked up the phone, only then seeing that it was a message sent by Jiang Chenghao.

"Xin'ai, are you home? Are you and Mr. Qin alright?"

After returning, Jiang Chenghao had thought about it over and over and still felt uneasy, so he ultimately couldn't help but ask.

Looking at the short sentence on the screen, Liu Xin'ai couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red immediately.

There was no one in the bedroom, so she simply let the tears slide from the corners of her eyes, leaving only a heart full of grievance and unwillingness.

【I'm fine, don't worry.】

All her emotions were ultimately transformed into these short six characters and sent out.

Upon receiving the reply, Jiang Chenghao felt a bit more at ease and did not continue to reply.

He tossed his phone to the side, his mind filled with the brief meeting with Liu Xin'ai today.

Her every frown and smile, her happiness and sadness, seemed to have already been firmly imprinted in his mind.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Jiang Chenghao's train of thought.

He came back to his senses and hurriedly took two steps forward to pull open the bedroom door.

Jiang Baobao was standing outside the room door.

"Uncle, how did your meeting with Xinaijie go today?"

Jiang Baobao had been worrying about this matter, and as soon as she heard he had returned, she couldn't help but hurry over to ask.

Jiang Chenghao paused slightly, then pretended that nothing was wrong and gave an ambiguous answer: "It was fine."

"Fine... what does that mean? Did you two... say everything that needed to be said?"

Jiang Baobao looked puzzled, not quite understanding his meaning.

Jiang Chenghao was silent for two seconds, then suddenly said: "I saw Qin Yiyan today."

"Ah?"

Jiang Baobao was startled by him and hurriedly pressed: "Then... did you two have some kind of conflict?"

"No."

Jiang Chenghao shook his head, signaling her not to worry: "I don't know why he appeared there either, but... he should care about Xin'ai very much. I was worried about what kind of person he was before, but having seen him today, I can rest easy. Xin'ai's life in the future should be very happy. I won't go and disturb her again; I might have even caused her some trouble today..."

"Uncle, have you... really thought it through?"

Jiang Baobao felt a pang of heartache seeing him like this.

Her uncle had always been considering things for Xinaijie.

But who could consider things from his perspective?

Having lived in a daze for so many years, he had only just recovered, yet he learned that his beloved girlfriend was about to marry someone else!

No one could understand the sadness in his heart!

Jiang Baobao pursed her lips and finally couldn't help but tentatively suggest: "It doesn't have to be... that you never see each other again, right? Xinaijie and I are very good friends now, so you could also..."

"Do you think we can be friends?"

Jiang Chenghao asked back with a smile.

Jiang Baobao choked, instantly swallowing all her words, and she had the answer in her heart.

How could two lovers who once loved deeply, and who didn't separate because of intense conflict, possibly be friends with calm hearts?

"I understand, Uncle. Get some rest early."

Jiang Baobao didn't continue to ask, urged him not to sleep too late, and then turned to leave.

She returned to her room alone, feeling somewhat depressed.

Li Beijue was still in the study handling work. She thought for a while, took out her phone, and wanted to find Cai Xiaotang to chat for a bit.

Unexpectedly, just as she opened the screen, she saw that she had just sent a message over.

【What are you doing? Do you want to get online and play some games? I'm bored to death!!!】

The three huge exclamation marks at the end perfectly illustrated how bored she was at this moment.

Jiang Baobao simply called her directly.

It only rang once before it was immediately answered.

"Hello? Why did you call? Do you miss me that much?"

Cai Xiaotang's teasing voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

Jiang Baobao sighed, then spoke leisurely: "Xiao Tang, I feel a bit depressed..."

"What's wrong? Did that guy Li Beijue bully you again?"

Cai Xiaotang's tone immediately became much more serious.

"Of course not." Jiang Baobao denied it and hurriedly recounted the matter of Jiang Chenghao and Liu Xin'ai meeting today.

After she finished speaking, both of them fell into silence.

Cai Xiaotang paused for a long time and couldn't help but sigh: "I used to think that this kind of unfulfilled love only existed in movies. Sure enough, art comes from life and is higher than life..."

Jiang Baobao also said helplessly: "I actually wish now that the two of them had separated because of some irreconcilable conflict, rather than like this... there will always be someone who gets hurt."

Just as she finished speaking, Cai Xiaotang seemed to have suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said: "Why don't... you try introducing another girlfriend to your uncle? Isn't it said that the fastest way to get over a relationship is to start a new one?"

"This... let's just forget about it..."

Jiang Baobao hesitated for two seconds and rejected Cai Xiaotang's suggestion: "After all, this kind of thing cannot be forced. I feel... if Uncle wants to move on, he still has to rely on himself. Right now, besides Xinaijie, the most important thing to him is only the family business..."

"Alright then..."

Cai Xiaotang had no choice but to abandon this idea.

The two chatted for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.

Just as Cai Xiaotang put down her phone, she suddenly thought of something.

Wait, no!

Wasn't she planning to find Baobao to play games together just now?

How did she forget the main point after chatting for so long!

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly grabbed her phone again, but hesitated for a moment and dismissed the thought.

Forget it...

Baobao definitely isn't in the mood to play right now; it's better to let her be by herself for a while...

Thinking this, Cai Xiaotang threw her phone to the side again.

Immediately, she rolled around on the bed out of sheer boredom.

This is too boring!

If she were at her own home, at this time she would have already gone downstairs to stroll through the night market, or ordered takeout to binge-watch shows at home!

But this place is too remote...

Let alone a night market, even the takeout she can order is limited to just a few kinds!

And it's expensive as hell!

No matter how delicious the food made by the chef is... it's still different from the outside...

She misses the taste of junk food so much...

Cai Xiaotang stared at the ceiling and let out a long sigh.

The next second—

She heard the room door suddenly being knocked on!

"What is it..."

She dragged out her voice, knowing who was outside without even having to guess.

Then, her eyes suddenly lit up!

Got it!

Since this guy is home, why not have him take her out to eat something good!
