Chapter 427: Chapter 427

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s heart fluttered with excitement, her heart beating like a drum as she blinked at Xiao Bai, her eyes brimming with affection and a hint of longing.

Xiao Bai’s eyes were red as he gazed at the delicate face before him, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly.

"From now on, you’re forbidden to go on blind dates!" He still remembered what had just happened.

Jiang Xiaoxiao meant to agree immediately, but the words caught in her throat. Instead, she asked, "But I need to find a boyfriend, to get married."

Xiao Bai exhaled a breath of alcohol, "I am your boyfriend!"

Unable to hold back her laughter any longer, Jiang Xiaoxiao pressed on, "Then will you marry me?"

"Really?" asked Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Xiao Bai, irritated by the doubt, declared hotly, "Whoever lies is a son of a b*tch!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao felt a wave of sweetness as she saw Xiao Bai lean in for a kiss. She stretched out her hand to cover his lips.

Xiao Bai felt his mouth go dry and couldn’t help but lick the palm of Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hand.

"Yikes." Jiang Xiaoxiao quickly moved her hand away, and Xiao Bai’s lips landed on her face.

"You haven’t said yet, do you really love me or not?" she struggled.

The restlessness of the person in his arms was making Xiao Bai irritable, and he muttered, "If I didn’t love you, would I be kissing you!"

Finally satisfied, Jiang Xiaoxiao wrapped her arms around Xiao Bai’s neck, sweetly saying, "I love you too."

The next morning, Xiao Bai woke up with a dry mouth and a headache. Reaching out, he touched something smooth and silky, snapping him to attention.

Turning his head, he saw Jiang Xiaoxiao lying next to him, her eyes tightly closed, still asleep.

Then he remembered the events of last night, how he had encountered Jiang Xiaoxiao on a blind date, and then they’d returned here, and then... it seemed like he had been fighting a battle.

The marks on Jiang Xiaoxiao’s exposed skin told him he hadn’t been gentle.

He closed his eyes, then quietly got out of bed, picking up clothes along the way and heading downstairs, where their garments were scattered all over the floor.

Once Xiao Bai had left the bedroom, Jiang Xiaoxiao also opened her eyes. She felt the warmth that Xiao Bai had left in the bed next to her.

She felt a wave of contentment and happiness. She’d secretly dreamed of this scene countless times but never thought it would actually come true.

Jiang Xiaoxiao freshened up in the bathroom and dressed appropriately before gracefully making her way downstairs.

Hearing the noise, Xiao Bai looked over and saw Jiang Xiaoxiao in a red dress with bare shoulders, walking gracefully toward him. The kiss mark on her collarbone was clearly visible.

He frowned, "Don’t wear clothes outside. Chuchu’s room has new clothes that haven’t been worn. Go choose one and change."

Jiang Xiaoxiao paused, her eyes curved into a smile. "Okay." Then obediently, she went back upstairs to Wan Chu’er’s old room.

When she came back down, she was dressed in a conservative tracksuit, transforming from seductive to youthful and energetic. Jiang Xiaoxiao approached Xiao Bai and said with a smile:

"Are you hungry? I’ll make you something to eat."

Xiao Bai glanced at her and pointed to a seat next to him, "Sit down, let’s talk."

"Okay." Jiang Xiaoxiao cheerfully took a seat, clearly in a very good mood.

Xiao Bai couldn’t help asking, "Are you really that happy?"

"Mmm." Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, her long-cherished wish finally fulfilled, making her very happy.

"Silly girl." Xiao Bai patted her head, feeling a headache about how to face the Jiang Family, and Wan Chu’er.

Xiao Bai said earnestly, "I will take responsibility for you. Choose a time, and I will visit your home to ask for your hand in marriage."

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s mouth gaped open in surprise. She hadn’t expected happiness to come so suddenly, so effortlessly within reach.

"Silly look." Xiao Bai gritted his teeth and pinched her face gently.

Two days later, at the Jiang Family’s large courtyard.

Mrs. Jiang and Father Jiang, who were resting at home, looked at Xiao Bai and Xiaoxiao holding hands, both taking a long time to come back to their senses.

They had known it would be .

Xiao Bai took a deep breath in his heart and kept his expression as respectful as possible. "Uncle, Aunt, I am here today to ask for your daughter’s hand in marriage. I wish to marry Xiaoxiao."

Father Jiang felt the sight of their tightly clasped hands somewhat irritating. Clearing his throat, he said, "A visitor is a guest, Xiaoxiao, go pour a cup of tea for our guest."

"Dad." Jiang Xiaoxiao wanted to say something but was stopped by the stern look on Father Jiang’s face.

Xiao Bai smiled and shook his head slightly at her, then let go of her hand.

Mrs. Jiang pulled her daughter into the kitchen.

"What on earth is going on? Give it to me straight. How did you get mixed up with Xiao Chu’s cousin?" As soon as they entered the kitchen, Mrs. Jiang couldn’t wait to ask.

Jiang Xiaoxiao replied, "Aren’t you urging me to get married? We happen to love each other. That’s all there is to it."

Her reply was even more succinct than Mrs. Jiang’s question, making her unable to resist smacking her daughter’s arm, "Speak properly." This text is hosted at novel•fire.net

The instruction to pour tea was just an excuse, and naturally, the mother and daughter wouldn’t go out again. Jiang Xiaoxiao, unable to help worrying that her father would make things difficult for Xiao Bai, pricked up her ears hoping to eavesdrop, but Mrs. Jiang saw through it, and once again started questioning her in detail.

After a while, they heard Father Jiang calling for someone. The mother and daughter came out of the kitchen, only to find that in the living room, only Father Jiang was left. Xiao Bai was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was anxious, "Dad, where’s Xiao Bai? You didn’t drive him away, did you?"

Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang glanced at each other, their daughter clearly very concerned about this Xiao Bai.

"I told him to go back first."

Jiang Xiaoxiao puckered her lips unhappily and said, "Your opposition is useless. Either let me marry Xiao Bai or I’ll stay single for life." After saying that, she went upstairs to her room to urgently call Xiao Bai.

Downstairs, Mrs. Jiang watched her daughter leave, stunned, "Xiaoxiao has always been well-behaved. This is the first time she’s been so impulsive and impatient."

Father Jiang squinted, recalling Xiao Bai’s performance and the words he had just said.

Seeing Father Jiang expressionless, Mrs. Jiang thought he was disagreeing. After thinking it over, she said, "Actually, Xiao Bai’s abilities are not bad..." After saying this, she didn’t know what to say next, her feelings very complicated.

Xiao Bai is Wan Chu’er’s cousin. Wan Chu’er is the Jiang Family’s daughter-in-law. If Xiao Bai really marries Xiaoxiao, with one going out and one coming in...

And this Xiao Bai, she always felt he had a bit of a rogue aura, not the ideal son-in-law in her mind.

But her daughter’s attitude was so resolute.

Upstairs, Jiang Xiaoxiao was on the phone with Xiao Bai.

"Don’t worry, I promised to marry you, and I will keep my word," Xiao Bai comforted Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaoxiao asked, "Then why did you suddenly leave? Was it because my father drove you away?"

Xiao Bai laughed and said, "No, your uncle wants to see my sincerity. I am going to find something to show my sincerity to your dad so that he can rest assured and give his daughter to me."

"What more sincerity do we need when we love each other? That’s the biggest sincerity there is," Jiang Xiaoxiao now completely sided with Xiao Bai.
