Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online

Chapter 174 - 175: I Can’t Drag You Down!_1

"Oh my, Chenxing, what a coincidence!" However, at that moment, suddenly two people swooped in.

Hua Hua sauntered over and sat next to her, curiously picking up a document from the table: "Eh, what’s this?"

Just as he was about to read it, Xia Jianqing snatched it away before him.

Nan Baihao, who arrived later, noticed the entire incident but didn’t seem to care, instead, he chimed in with a smile: "Chenxing, Brother is asking me to bring you back."

"She will not go with you." Xia Jianqing once again tightened his grip on Chenxing’s hand, pulling her up from her seat: "Chenxing, let’s go!"

He felt apprehension towards Nan Baihao too; it was him who imprisoned him last time.

But as soon as he took a step, he was blocked by an icy human wall. Nan Baihao didn’t even spare a glance at Xia Jianqing, focusing solely on Chenxing: "Little sister-in-law, why are you still entangled with this kid? I don’t like him at all, if something happened to him, I’m not taking the responsibility."

Xia Jianqing was taken aback, moving Chenxing behind him: "Right in broad daylight, don’t think I’m scared of you."

Nan Baihao let out a scoff, placing his hand around his waist.

Chenxing felt a sudden chill, as if she could foresee the next moment Nan Baihao would pull out his gun to send Xia Jianqing to hell. Without thinking, she rushed in front of Xia Jianqing, "Brother Baihao, I’ll go back with you, don’t hurt Jianqing."

"Chenxing, are you out of your mind? You still want to go back with them? Do you even know what you’re talking about?"

Hua Hua playfully winked at Xia Jianqing: "Little brother, didn’t you hear what my sister-in-law said? It’s strange how you always like to stick around my sister-in-law even though I’ve told you she’s taken. You should know when to give up, don’t keep choosing a tree that doesn’t belong to you."

"Chenxing!"

Chenxing gave Xia Jianqing a final look, her face calm: "It’s getting late, Jianqing, I’m going home. Thank you for today, thank you for letting me know the truth.". Her eyes seemed to convey a silent message – ’I can’t drag you down with me!’

"I will handle my matters myself. I can’t make arbitrary decisions based on a single case file. I need to get a clear explanation at home!"

Nan Baihao took Chenxing away, his intuition telling him something was off with her. However, he couldn’t quite put a finger on what exactly was wrong.

With Hua Hua chattering incessantly behind him, he didn’t ponder too deeply. He got Chenxing into the car and sat with her in the back seat. He waited until Hua Hua took the front passenger seat, then told the driver to start the car.

Chenxing remained silent throughout the journey. Not much of a talker himself, Nan Baihao didn’t initiate a conversation either, so the only sound filling the car was Hua Hua’s melodious voice.

"Sister-in-law, you fancy that pretty boy? He’s not even as good looking as me. Compared to my brother, he’s far off in the dust! Seriously, if you’re looking for a bit on the side, I can introduce you to better men tomorrow. Trust me, my taste is impeccable, any random choice would beat that kid. But don’t tell brother! He would be furious if he were to find out!" Hua Chu blabbered on.

Chenxing remained silent, not uttering a word.

Despite Hua Hua’s best efforts, she couldn’t get a laugh out of her.
