Just like what she just said, if it were her past self, she would definitely hate Mu Qiancheng to death. Because she felt that Mu Qiancheng had ulterior motives for being good to her.
"That’s right!" Cheng Li forced a smile, seeing Mu Qiancheng approaching with clothes and a hat in his hands, she said with a happy face, "Qian Cheng, you are so good to Little Xue. Little Xue marrying you, who knows how many lifetimes of good fortune it took."
Mu Qiancheng put the hat on Jiang Xue’s head, then glanced at Cheng Li and said solemnly, "Cheng Li, you’re wrong. Being able to marry Xue’er is my fortune, Mu Qiancheng’s fortune."
"Yes, yes, yes, both of you are fortunate." Cheng Li echoed, looking at Jiang Xue, who seemed indifferent to her, feeling a bit puzzled.
After Mu Qiancheng finished helping her put on her clothes, he said, "Little Xue, whatever you plan to do, how about I accompany you?"
Jiang Xue glanced at Cheng Li, unsure of what she was up to.
At this moment, Mu Qiancheng spoke again, "Cheng Li, there’s no need. I’ll accompany Xue’er. You should go home, Xue’er needs more rest and might not have time to chat with you."
Mu Qiancheng didn’t particularly like Cheng Li, thinking she wasn’t a good person. If it weren’t for her being Jiang Xue’s close friend, he wouldn’t even pay attention to her.
Previously, he had advised Jiang Xue not to bother with Cheng Li, but Jiang Xue disagreed and even argued with him, feeling that he was trying to drive a wedge between their friendship.
After that, he stopped bringing it up. However, every time Cheng Li visited, he disliked it because he noticed that Jiang Xue’s behavior would become more excessive afterward.
"Little Xue, do you think so too?" Cheng Li asked, secretly harboring resentment but showing no displeasure as she looked at Jiang Xue.
She knew that Mu Qiancheng’s weakness was Jiang Xue, and he would listen to whatever Jiang Xue said.
Jiang Xue knew that Mu Qiancheng meant well for her, but she wanted to understand Cheng Li’s intentions. She gave Cheng Li a look, then said to Mu Qiancheng, "Qian Cheng, you stay inside and watch the child. I have a few words to say to Xiao Li."
"Xue’er..." Mu Qiancheng wanted to persuade Jiang Xue, but before he could finish, Jiang Xue interrupted, "It’s decided."
Mu Qiancheng felt upset, his face showing displeasure, as he released Jiang Xue’s hand and turned back into the room.
Knowing Mu Qiancheng was angry, Jiang Xue glanced back at him without explaining, then said to Cheng Li, "Let’s go!"
Cheng Li’s eyes briefly showed a gleam of satisfaction, but her face displayed a worried expression, "Xue’er, is Mu Qiancheng angry?"
"It’s fine, we don’t need to worry about him." Jiang Xue faked indifference and walked into the courtyard with Cheng Li.
Mu Qiancheng heard their conversation, feeling very angry, yet he was helpless with Jiang Xue. She wouldn’t listen to him, even though he was acting for her good, not only did she not appreciate it, she even thought he was harming her.
Thinking about this, Mu Qiancheng’s previously warm heart cooled a bit more. He thought to himself, he had believed Jiang Xue would truly change, but with Cheng Li around, it seemed they would regress to where they started.
Mu Qiancheng sighed helplessly, feeling very troubled. Check latest chapters at noᴠelfire.net
Meanwhile, Jiang Xue and Cheng Li reached the courtyard, found a chair, and sat down together. As soon as they sat, Cheng Li couldn’t wait to speak up, "Little Xue, now that you’ve had the child, what are your plans next?"
