Chapter 616 - 614 Coaxing
Xiao Jinghuai was originally a bit angry, but now he felt nothing but warmth throughout his body as he held the woman tightly in his arms and sighed, "You must be sent here to tame me. I must owe you a lot from my past life, so I’m destined to be tormented by you in this life.""Hehe!" Song Song knew this came from his heart and wasn’t just sweet talk, but it sounded wonderfully sincere to her, "I didn’t think you would like me either! After all, you used to be such an unattainable male god, and I’m just an ordinary girl."
"Is that so?" the man laughed, "It’s a pity I couldn’t escape your clutches in the end. Are you happy?"
"Tsk—" Song Song gave him a hard shove, "What clutches! That’s so harsh. Clearly, it’s a warm embrace."
Nesting in his arms like this, listening to his heartbeat felt particularly good, "How’s Mother?"
"Not very well, Qiao Yu is with her now—"
"Qiao Yu!" Song Song suddenly pulled away from the man’s embrace, "She, how is she...?"
"Alright, stop being jealous over nothing." Xiao Jinghuai ruffled her hair, "I’m right here with you, what are you worried about! As soon as I walked out of the hospital room and didn’t see you, I knew you’d be upset. I hurried back to see you, so don’t be unhappy."
Song Song muttered, "Am I that petty? Someone even tried to offer me a check in the hospital to leave you, and I didn’t even bother with them!"
"Who had the audacity?" Xiao Jinghuai’s expression turned serious.
"It’s just—"
"I’ll skin them alive."
Song Song: "..."
Forget it, she’d better not say! What if Jiang Yixiu really got skinned, wouldn’t she be causing trouble?
Even if he wasn’t skinned, if he got beaten half to death, that would still be a tragedy.
"Uh, it’s nothing." Song Song quickly downplayed it, "Should I go to the hospital to see Mother too? She might need someone to care for her, right?"
"It’s not convenient for you right now, better not go. Let Qiao Yu take care of things over there. My mother sees her as a daughter-in-law, but I’ve never regarded her as a wife. Just understand this and don’t get upset with me. Don’t leave silently again, that worries me the most—"
Song Song grumbled, "I know, I won’t do that again, but I didn’t leave silently before. Didn’t I leave you a note four years ago?"
"...Yes." Xiao Jinghuai got upset at the mention of the note, "The words you left made it seem as if we’d never see each other again in this lifetime."
Song Song: "..."
Back then, she really thought they might never have the chance to meet again in this life.
"You’ve never told me why you treat Qiao Yu so well. Does she hold any special meaning to you?"
She could sense that he indeed didn’t like Qiao Yu, but he was indeed protective of her, and had been ever since they met—
Xiao Jinghuai’s gaze paused slightly, "You might not believe it if I told you."
"You haven’t even said anything yet! How do you know I won’t believe it, quickly tell me—"
This was a thorn in her heart, always pricking at her! She had to get it out.
Xiao Jinghuai liked to see her jealous and also liked how understanding she was, considering things from other people’s perspectives, knowing how to give way, "...Actually, I’ve always thought of her as a sister."
Song Song gave him a glare, "That kind of sentiment is the worst, you see her as a sister, and she sees you as a husband. Besides, you did consider marrying her before, didn’t you?"
"There were other reasons I would marry her, nothing to do with romantic feelings between a man and a woman; you have to believe me on this." Xiao Jinghuai explained.
