One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 456: Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly separately when disaster strikes

Song Song’s legs were spread, and the man’s body was squeezed in between her legs, his hands propped on the conference table, his deep eyes locking her in tightly..."W-Why are you looking at me like that?"

Song Song felt a chill down her back from being stared at by him.

Xiao Jinghuai narrowed his phoenix eyes, instead of answering, he asked, "Why did you come?"

"Uh..."

Song Song was thin-skinned. They had argued a bit fiercely earlier, and after hearing about the Xiao Family’s situation, she came over without hesitation because she was worried about him. How could she say this in front of him?

She just couldn’t bring herself to speak.

"I happened to see... the news about the Xiao Family, so... I came to check on you." Song Song said, avoiding his gaze.

Xiao Jinghuai looked at the charming small face in front of him and continued to ask, "Did you really just come to check, or because you were worried about me?"

The man’s warm breath spilled over Song Song’s face, tickling her like a feather, making her subconsciously shrink back, speaking somewhat incoherently, "Do we really have to talk in this position? Could you... sit down?"

Xiao Jinghuai didn’t realize how ambiguous their posture was until now. He glanced down, then suddenly realized, smiling at the corner of his mouth, "What’s wrong with this position? It helps maintain the couple’s emotions, doesn’t it?"

"...You!"

When it came to flirting skills, Song Song admitted defeat, alright! Since he wanted it this way, she’d let him.

She took a deep breath, then said a bit seriously, "Do you really intend to sell the Xiao Family to that bandit of a man? That person doesn’t seem like a good person, and the Xiao Family’s problems are definitely related to him. Doing this would be falling into his trap, wouldn’t it?"

Xiao Jinghuai let out a light laugh, he stepped back two steps, crossed his arms, but his eyes never left the girl’s face, "Are you worried about me, or the Xiao Family?"

Song Song didn’t understand what he meant, "Is there a difference?"

"Of course there is." Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes were filled with a chill.

Song Song looked bewildered, "What difference?"

Xiao Jinghuai leaned in closer to her, "Haven’t you heard the saying? A couple is like birds sharing the same forest, but fly their separate ways when disaster strikes."

"You know I would be like an ordinary person if I lost the Xiao Family, or even less than an ordinary person, aren’t you scared?"

"..."

Song Song paused for a while before understanding what he meant, "Xiao Jinghuai, do you think I don’t want you to sell the Xiao Family because I value wealth and glory?"

Xiao Jinghuai said coldly, "You already said the answer yourself."

Song Song felt chilled, she couldn’t feel any warmth...

They had been together for so long, both before and after her amnesia, in his eyes, was she just a person who chased after vanity?

"Do you really think of me that way?"

Song Song asked again with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Jinghuai suppressed his emotions, "Fine, let me ask differently, if I have nothing in the future, what are you going to do? Will you decide to endure hardships with me or choose to divorce me?"

In Song Song’s view, just asking this question was a sign that he didn’t trust her...

Even if in the future his heart might be with another woman, he should at least know her character, that she’s not someone who can only share wealth but cannot endure hardships...

But clearly, he didn’t view her that way.

She began to feel lost—what is the point of continuing a marriage like this?

Really... there’s no point at all.

"Okay, I’m going to give you a very serious answer now."
