Chapter 520: Snatch Her Back

Liu Xin'ai looked at the person before her, feeling a chill run through her entire body.

The memory of how Liu Tengnian had flown into a rage a few years ago over Jiang Chenghao's situation, causing his health to deteriorate, was still fresh in her mind.

Given his current condition, he simply could not withstand any turmoil!

"Know fear now?" Qin Yiyan curled his lips, seemingly very satisfied with Liu Xin'ai's current reaction.

Liu Xin'ai simply lowered her head and stopped speaking, returning to that usual appearance of being indifferent to everything.

Qin Yiyan did not continue to say anything else and lifted his foot to leave.

He walked to the doorway, but suddenly remembered something and stopped his steps.

"Liu Xin'ai, don't let me catch you by your pigtails again."

With a "click," the door was pulled open and then closed.

The room returned to silence once more.

Liu Xin'ai stood where she was, taking a long while to come back to her senses before walking to the bed in a daze and sitting down.

No... Father must not know about this matter...

Aside from the possibility of him ruining his health, there was no benefit at all!

In the future... she probably wouldn't run into Cheng Hao again.

Let it end here.

In this life, it was she who had let him down.

If there really were an afterlife, she would be willing to do her utmost to make amends.

On the other side—

Jiang Chenghao finished attending the entire banquet absent-mindedly, then drove home alone.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard movement from the direction of the living room coming from the three little ones.

"Great-uncle! You're back!"

The three little ones were all very fond of Jiang Chenghao; as soon as they heard he was back, they all hurried to the door.

"Mm, why haven't you all gone to sleep yet?"

Jiang Chenghao responded with a smile and rubbed Mobai's little head, who had been the first to run over.

Yanbao answered obediently: "Daddy and Mommy are watching a movie with us in the living room!"

Tiantian quickly brought over slippers and placed them by Jiang Chenghao's feet, then cordially invited him: "Great-uncle, do you want to come watch with us?"

"I won't, you all go ahead."

Jiang Chenghao was already exhausted; he barely managed to deal with the few little ones before entering the door with them.

In the living room, Jiang Baobao had already been waiting for a long time. As soon as she saw them enter, she asked directly: "Uncle, how was the banquet today? Are you used to it?"

She was a little worried that Jiang Chenghao had just recovered and might not be able to adapt to such occasions yet.

Jiang Chenghao nodded silently.

Jiang Baobao, however, instantly noticed that something was wrong with him.

"Uncle, did you drink?"

She stood up and took two steps forward, quickly smelling the scent of alcohol on him.

"Mm."

Jiang Chenghao replied faintly, then explained: "It's nothing, I just had a couple of drinks."

After Liu Xin'ai left, he felt depressed, and so he had accidentally drunk a bit too much.

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao felt helpless, but it was hard to say anything to him, so she could only stand where she was and sigh.

Hearing their conversation, Li Beijue couldn't help but frown and say: "Your current body is not suitable for drinking."

"I know, today... I just wasn't paying attention for a moment, don't worry."

Jiang Chenghao waved his hand. Seeing the family of five in front of him all staring at him, he suddenly felt a bit bitter inside.

Baobao's life was already very complete now...

She had both the person who loved her and lovely children.

If he hadn't had that accident back then, the children he would have had with Xin'ai should have been able to be older brothers to Yanbao and the others by now...

Jiang Chenghao's eyes stung. Thinking of the scene from this evening, he felt nothing but regret.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Jiang Baobao sensed that his emotions seemed off.

Jiang Chenghao instantly came back to his senses: "It's nothing, I'm just a bit tired, I'll be fine after going back to rest..."

As he spoke, he turned and walked toward his room.

But then he suddenly thought of something and stopped abruptly.

"By the way, Baobao, I plan to pack up these next few days and move back to the Jiang Family residence while I'm not busy yet."

"Ah? You're in such a rush to leave in the next two days?"

Jiang Baobao had long known he would leave, but she hadn't expected it to be so soon, and her expression showed some reluctance.

The three little ones also hurriedly spoke up: "Great-uncle, are you moving away? Why? Isn't it good living with us?"

Mobai had the best relationship with Jiang Chenghao and even stepped forward, grabbing his hand: "Great-uncle, please don't go, okay? If you leave, there will be no one to play games with me!"

Listening to the three little ones' pleas, Jiang Chenghao also felt reluctant in his heart.

But there was no other way.

After all, this was the Li Family. He was a grown man and Baobao's elder; it really wasn't appropriate to keep lingering here.

"Uncle... why don't you just stay..."

Jiang Baobao could not help but join the three little ones in trying to persuade him.

Li Beijue, however, did not respond.

He could probably understand what Jiang Chenghao was thinking.

Sure enough, after hearing everyone's pleas for him to stay, Jiang Chenghao still smiled and shook his head.

"Baobao, I have lived here for a long time, but this... is your home after all. The Jiang Family is my home, and since it has been empty for so many days, I want to go back and tidy it up properly..."

Jiang Baobao blinked, knowing his mind was made up.

"Great-uncle... do you really have to go..."

Tiantian pouted unhappily.

Jiang Chenghao immediately comforted her: "Tiantian, Great-uncle is just moving to a different place to live. This way, if you miss Great-uncle, just have Mommy send you to my place to stay for a few days, okay?"

"Really!"

Upon hearing this, Yanbao immediately turned his head to look at Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue.

"Of course you can!"

Jiang Baobao agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Li Beijue also nodded.

Having received permission from the two of them, the three little ones finally became happy again.

Jiang Chenghao comforted them for a long while and pinky-promised each one of them before returning to his room.

Once the door closed, the sounds from outside became somewhat muffled, yet he could still hear the voices of them talking and laughing, which only made the room feel even quieter.

Jiang Chenghao casually loosened his tie and threw himself onto the bed, looking exhausted.

Yet, like scenes from a movie, the look of grievance on Liu Xin'ai's face tonight kept flashing through his mind.

She is not happy.

She is not joyful.

She will have an unhappy marriage.

She does not like that man either.

Jiang Chenghao stared blankly at the ceiling as these thoughts flashed through his mind like a curse.

Why?

Why must two people who love each other miss out on one another?

Why must the woman he has loved most in his life suffer such grievances?

He regretted it.

Once, he wanted to make her the happiest woman in the world.

But if she cannot find happiness, then his blessing is meaningless.

Rather than this, it would be better to...

Jiang Chenghao closed his eyes, with only one thought remaining in his mind.

It would be better to... snatch her back!!!
