One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 642 - 640: Then let me beat you up for 1 day and 1 night too

Luo Yan never expected it to go so smoothly. After all, he was a man standing at the top, while she was just a lowly woman struggling to survive amidst the dust—"Jiang, Mr. Jiang, are you serious?" Luo Yan’s eyes reddened.

Jiang Yixiu’s expression was calm, "Of course it’s true; I have no reason to lie to you."

The woman suddenly rushed into his arms, hugging him tightly, "Thank you, thank you. I will definitely behave and won’t make the same mistake as Sister Qingxin."

—the same mistake as Sister Qingxin.

These words were like a sharp needle stabbing into Jiang Yixiu’s heart. He originally had his hands down, but now he lifted them to tightly grip the woman’s back with incredible strength.

Luo Yan furrowed her thin brows, "It hurts, it hurts—"

But the man seemed unable to hear her voice, his mind filled only with the image of that seductive face. Just a while ago, that woman had been delighting under him, calling his name over and over.

Then the scene abruptly shifted to her taking a dagger and stabbing it into his chest—her eyes cold and resolute. He feared he could never forget that look in his life.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Xiao Jinghuai entered with Jin Bao Yan, and seeing the situation inside, the two exchanged a glance full of understanding.

Jin Bao Yan was the first to walk over, adjusting the gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, "You’ve just suffered a loss from one woman, and now you’re ready to rally again so soon—should I congratulate you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yixiu immediately snapped back to reality, quickly releasing his hold and looking towards the door with a wicked smile, "Ha, do you think I should remain faithful to Mu Qingxin alone? Is she worth it?"

"... Well, whether she’s worth it or not is something only you would know; she’s not our woman," Jin Bao Yan responded with a meaningful smile.

Jiang Yixiu realized that he had been too emotional earlier, and promptly composed himself, "What’s up? Are the two of you here to discharge me from the hospital, or is there news about Mu Zanting?"

Jin Bao Yan looked towards Xiao Jinghuai behind him, "Old Xiao, you should talk about this."

Xiao Jinghuai nodded and walked up to Jiang Yixiu. He casually put one hand in his pocket, but his expression was very serious, "Yixiu, I think the real target Mu Zanting wants to deal with is me."

"..." Jiang Yixiu was momentarily puzzled, "Old Xiao, what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Jinghuai chuckled a bit, "Exactly what I said. Mu Zanting and I have had conflicts before, related to my... first marriage."

Jiang Yixiu was completely stunned, "First marriage? Are you talking about Lin Xue’er, the one who left you when you needed companionship the most?"

Xiao Jinghuai didn’t want to be associated with that woman anymore, but those were indeed facts, "Yes, that’s Lin Xue’er."

Jiang Yixiu chuckled with a mischievous grin, "No wonder you didn’t beat me up this time; it’s because you were in the wrong."

"Ugh..." Xiao Jinghuai indeed felt guilty, "So I bear responsibility for the Jiang Family’s issues, and I can’t shirk my duty for what happened to your father. If there’s anything you need, just say the word, whatever it takes!"

For Jiang Yixiu, those things didn’t matter much; the only thing that mattered was his father, facing such issues upon his retirement.

Actually, Xiao Jinghuai couldn’t be blamed for this. If he hadn’t trusted Mu Qingxin, none of this would have happened?

Jiang Yixiu raised his brows lightly, "Old Xiao, really anything?"

"Of course."

"Alright," Jiang Yixiu said seriously, "Then let me beat you up for a whole day and night too."

Xiao Jinghuai: "..."

Jin Bao Yan frowned, "Jiang Yixiu, are you crazy?"
