Super Sweet, 100\% Honeymoon

Chapter 511: Can’t Stay Away from Me?

Ou Jue’s gaze darkened slightly, and he didn’t reply immediately.Xia Xiyan had just managed to calm her heart, only to feel it rise again in an instant. Her small hand clutched his clothes, "Don’t tell me you’re really going to S Country with Qiao Qianmo?"

"First, tell me—how did you find out about this?"

"Don’t worry about that. Just answer me already."

Xiyan’s heart was in complete turmoil, especially when faced with Ou Jue’s hesitation to give her a definitive response.

"It was Madam Susan. She found traces of her whereabouts in S Country."

"So, you’re going with Qiao Qianmo?"

"It’s not just Qiao Qianmo—there’s Assistant Chen and others as well."

"I only want to know one thing—are you going to S Country with Qiao Qianmo?!"

She thought back to what Qiao Qianmo had said to her in the studio today: I still hope you and brother Ou Jue can get along well. If you can, try persuading him not to go to S Country with me. Otherwise...

Otherwise what?

Qiao Qianmo hadn’t finished her sentence.

But Xiyan was overwhelmed by an intense sense of crisis.

Especially when Qiao Qianmo, with an air of confidence, smiled at her and said, "Sister Xiyan, give it your best shot, okay?"

The tone of her voice—it made one burn with anger just thinking about it.

Xiyan gripped Ou Jue’s shirt tightly as her bright, expressive eyes fixed unwaveringly on his handsome face that was so close to hers.

She didn’t want Ou Jue to go to S Country with Qiao Qianmo.

She didn’t want Ou Jue to leave.

She didn’t want it.

Seeing the look in the girl’s eyes, Ou Jue’s Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed. He leaned in slightly closer to her, his voice—usually domineering—carrying an uncharacteristic hint of compromise. "Madam Susan is very important to the Ou Family. If I don’t go personally, I can’t be at ease."

Xiyan’s gaze dimmed significantly.

See?

Ou Jue still had to go.

And he had to go with Qiao Qianmo.

Xiyan’s sense of crisis intensified.

She pressed her little head against Ou Jue’s chest and spoke in a soft, low voice, "I don’t want you to go. Can’t you just send someone else instead?"

Ou Jue’s throat tightened.

He couldn’t quite understand why this naïve little fool was so wary of Qiao Qianmo.

Qiao Qianmo was nothing more than his blood-related cousin.

Even without the family ties, she would barely catch his attention.

Besides, Madam Susan—she was someone Qiao Qianmo’s family members in S Country had found.

It still hadn’t been confirmed whether she was truly Madam Susan.

But ultimately, it was necessary to send someone from the Ou Family to investigate.

Ou Jue softened his tone further as he gently stroked Xiyan’s hair with his thumb. His deep voice resonated, "It’ll only be a few days."

"No." For the first time, Xiyan was so willful, showing no intention of backing down as she wrapped her arms tightly around Ou Jue. "I’m not letting you go."

She wasn’t going to let him go with Qiao Qianmo.

Hadn’t Qiao Qianmo said that if she had the ability, she should stop Ou Jue from going?

Xiyan was holding onto that thought, feeling indignant.

She wanted to prove something to Qiao Qianmo—that she did have the ability.

The ability to keep Ou Jue here—to stop him from going to S Country with her.

Ou Jue tilted Xiyan’s chin up, his dark eyes locking onto hers with a teasing smile. "Xia Xiyan, are you really so clingy now that you can’t bear to be away from me?"

Xiyan said nothing, pursing her lips sulkily.

The teasing glint in Ou Jue’s eyes grew more pronounced as he leaned closer to her ear, whispering, "Please me, make me happy, and I won’t go."

Damn it—was he seriously bargaining with me over something like this?

Then again, thinking about it—Madam Susan was so important to the people of the Ou Family.

For Ou Jue to even make such a concession was already extraordinary.
