Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Do Not Trust

If he hit Cheng Li, his relationship with Jiang Xue would only worsen.

He’s always known that Cheng Li is not a good person. But Jiang Xue doesn’t understand and thinks Cheng Li is doing it for her good, she listens to everything Cheng Li says.

Honestly, he feels powerless regarding Jiang Xue’s inability to discern right from wrong. Sometimes, he really wants to open Jiang Xue’s mind to see how it works. Why does she listen to Cheng Li and no one else?

"I’m leaving!" Jiang Xue nodded, not noticing anything unusual about Mu Qiancheng, unaware that he had overhead her conversation with Cheng Li, and turned back to the house.

Mu Qiancheng watched Jiang Xue go back to the room, stunned for a moment. Thought to himself, wasn’t she going to discuss the divorce with him? Why didn’t she mention it?

Based on Jiang Xue’s personality, she’s not someone who can hide her thoughts. She says whatever’s on her mind, and since she promised Cheng Li to divorce him immediately, she would certainly bring it up at the first opportunity.

But just now, she said nothing and went back to the room.

Could she be thinking of discussing it after they return to the room? With this thought, Mu Qiancheng turned to head to the room. He actually wanted to avoid it, but he also knew that if Jiang Xue truly decided to divorce him, avoidance would be useless.

Jiang Xue returned to the room and watched Mu Qiancheng come in after a significant pause, noticing that his expression didn’t look good, her heart sank and seemed to understand something.

Therefore, when Mu Qiancheng walked to the bed, Jiang Xue decided to have an open talk with him.

"Sit down!" Jiang Xue said, letting Mu Qiancheng sit on the chair. With him standing there, it made her feel pressured.

Mu Qiancheng stared deeply at Jiang Xue, and his heart twisted. He thought Jiang Xue was going to discuss divorce with him, and his expression became increasingly unpleasant.

If he could, he wanted to leave immediately. But he’s a soldier and never had the habit of being a deserter. So, even though his heart was aching unbearably, he still sat down, looked at Jiang Xue, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Qian Cheng, you heard Cheng Li’s words just now, didn’t you?" Jiang Xue probed, unsure whether Mu Qiancheng had heard their conversation. However, if Mu Qiancheng had been standing in the living room the entire time, he must have heard everything.

Previously, if Mu Qiancheng had heard the perfunctory words she exchanged with Cheng Li, Jiang Xue could guess how he would feel.

At this moment, he should be feeling quite sad.

Jiang Xue looked at Mu Qiancheng; his eyes were filled with restraint, and his slightly trembling hand was evident to her. Seeing him like this, Jiang Xue felt her heart ache too, and she reached out to cover Mu Qiancheng’s hand.

Feeling the touch on his hand, Mu Qiancheng looked at Jiang Xue’s slender, fair, jade-like hand that rested on his, and his eyes widened.

Is Jiang Xue?

Is she trying to comfort him? Why? Wasn’t she going to divorce him? Now she’s here to comfort him, what does this mean?

As Mu Qiancheng was filled with questions, Jiang Xue’s words reached his ears: "Qian Cheng, listen to me, do not believe the things I said to Cheng Li just now."

"???" Mu Qiancheng’s mind raised several more questions, this was unlike Jiang Xue’s usual manner. Hasn’t she always listened to Cheng Li?

But now she is saying not to believe it?

Could it be that Jiang Xue has already realized that Cheng Li isn’t a good person? If that’s the case, shouldn’t he be happy?

"Qian Cheng, believe me, I will never divorce you in this lifetime. Unless you fall in love with someone else and don’t want me anymore."

"Xue’er, what are you saying? How could I not want you?" Mu Qiancheng raised his head abruptly, looking seriously at Jiang Xue.

She is the person he loves, someone he wants to protect for a lifetime, how could he ever not want her?

"Really?" Jiang Xue asked, somewhat disbelief.

"Naturally it’s true, I can swear to you, I will be as loyal to you as I am loyal to my country, loyal to my party." Mu Qiancheng raised his hand, ready to solemnly swear.

Jiang Xue pressed her hand down on him and said, "Qian Cheng, you don’t need to swear, I believe you!"
