Mu Qiancheng didn’t notice Jiang Xue’s odd behavior. At this moment, he was brooding over a decision he couldn’t make.
He was thinking about whether he should contact that person. Otherwise, once Jiang Xue soared high and far, he might not be able to protect her.
And Jiang Xue didn’t know what Mu Qiancheng was thinking. At this moment, she lay on the bed, and couldn’t help but let her mind wander.
In their past life, Mu Qiancheng had risked his life to save her. Only then did she realize how deeply he loved her.
They say that what you can’t have is always the best. She wondered if this was the reason.
And in this life, she had been slowly changing, slowly reconciling with Mu Qiancheng—could this change his feelings for her?
Moreover, now that she could make money, and a lot of it, would Mu Qiancheng have other thoughts?
Jiang Xue’s mind was a chaotic mess as she kept thinking about these things. For a moment, she felt she shouldn’t doubt Mu Qiancheng’s love for her. But thinking about the fact that he had secrets he wasn’t sharing with her, she felt perhaps Mu Qiancheng didn’t love her as much as she thought.
The more she thought about it, the sadder Jiang Xue felt. Instead of napping, she was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.
Mu Qiancheng, who was lost in his own thoughts, heard the noise from the bed and glanced at Jiang Xue, slightly frowning.
So, he stood up, walked to the bedside, sat down, and softly asked Jiang Xue, "Xue’er, what’s wrong? Can’t sleep?"
Jiang Xue originally didn’t want to pay attention to Mu Qiancheng because she was angry. But after some consideration, she felt that if she ignored him, their hard-won reconciliation might revert.
So, she softly responded, "Mm!"
"Xue’er, are you angry?" Although Jiang Xue responded, Mu Qiancheng, being sensitive, could still detect something off in her tone and thought she might be angry.
"No!" Jiang Xue wasn’t going to admit she was angry. If she did, wouldn’t that make Mu Qiancheng think she was petty?
"Really not?" Mu Qiancheng didn’t believe it. Even though they hadn’t spent much time together, he could tell when Jiang Xue was angry. Her emotions—joy, anger, sadness—were written all over her face.
"Really not." Jiang Xue still wouldn’t admit it and turned her body away, ignoring Mu Qiancheng.
She didn’t realize that her behavior was extremely childish, which only confirmed to Mu Qiancheng that she was indeed angry.
Looking at Jiang Xue’s back, Mu Qiancheng pondered over what he might have done to upset his young wife. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⁂fire.net
Soon, he realized the cause and watched Jiang Xue for a while before deciding to have an open and honest conversation with her.
He didn’t want conflicts between them because of something . Honestly, he had been getting along well with Jiang Xue these past few days, and their relationship had improved rapidly. He didn’t want to ruin it over a small matter.
"Xue’er, turn around, I have something to say to you," Mu Qiancheng said.
Jiang Xue hesitated for a moment before turning around and asking, "What do you want to say to me?"
"Xue’er, I know you’re angry because I didn’t tell you what I was thinking earlier. Actually, it’s not that I didn’t want to tell you or that I was trying to hide anything, I, I just..."
At this point, Mu Qiancheng was again unsure of how to begin, and with Jiang Xue gazing at him intently, he found it even harder to speak.
