Chapter 235: Promise
Jiang Xue looked around and saw no one was paying attention to them, so she reached out and hugged Xiang Cheng. Softly, she said, "Brother Cheng, I’m yours. I’ll never betray you. Don’t worry. I’m not like Shen Xi, who does not hold you in her heart. I won’t allow anyone to touch me but you.
Xiang Cheng’s heart melted. Shen Xi was beautiful and was everything he wanted in a woman; his wife, however, ought to be gentle, considerate, and clean, someone like Jiang Xue.
Xiang Cheng returned Jiang Xue’s hug. Gratified and infinitely pleased, he said, "Xue’er, I believe you. I’m happy you’re willing to entrust yourself to me. Trust me; I’ll treat you well."
Jiang Xue was quite satisfied with Xiang Cheng’s proclamation. She was as happy as a clam, oozing with a sense of fulfillment.
Xia Chun, who had been socializing, was happy to see her daughter cozying up with Xiang Cheng. When she looked away, she was suddenly standing in the shadow of a towering figure looming over her.
"Madam Jiang, I need to discuss something with you." Meng Yu’s fox-like eyes twinkled seductively, complimenting his saccharine smile.
Xia Chun was unsure, but she could not shake the feeling that there was something off about Meng Yu’s smile. So frightened was she that she immediately came up with an excuse, "Xue’er has something urgent to attend to. How about next time, I..."
"Now would be preferable to later, Madmam Jiang. You know I’m a busy man." Neither Meng Yu’s smile nor tone changed.
