Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1461

I want it. Of course Xiao Su wanted it. When she touched him, he wanted it; when she moaned, he wanted it too.

It seemed like Jiang Xiaobai wanted to tease him on purpose. She placed her hand on his belt and unbuckled it with a light press. With a click, the buckle on his belt snapped open.

Xiao Su couldn’t help but let out a moan. “Hmm…”

His moan…

Jiang Xiaobai retorted angrily, “What are you doing letting out such a seductive moan?”

Xiao Su turned around and climbed on top of her, his eyes red due to excitement. “It’s all because of you.”

Although both of them had a sexual relationship before last time, she couldn’t remember much on the next day. But now, everything was so… real instead.

So, Jiang Xiaobai got a little nervous, but after that, she became relaxed and let Xiao Su do all the work.

Later on, she got tired and fell asleep soundly. By the time she woke up again, Xiao Su was no longer beside her.

She held out her hand and touched the bed beside her. It was actually cold.

Hmph! How long has he been gone? He disappears as soon as I wake up after a sleep. What a heartless man he is!

Jiang Xiaobai turned around and faced the sunlight that shone into the room from outside of the window. Judging from the way Xiao Su acted last night, he should harbor some feelings toward her.

After all, one could not lie from the way he acted or talked. If he hated her, he wouldn’t want to be near her, but if he liked her, he would definitely think of any possible ways just to get closer to her.

From the way Xiao Su behaved last night, it was a very good way to show that he wanted to be close to her.

Before this, when they were drunk, she wasn’t even fully sober when she woke up on the next day, but last night, both of them were very wide awake. She could still remember the look in his eyes and hear his low panting beside her ear clearly. She even remembered how he called out her name during his climax.

As she thought about that, Jiang Xiaobai blushed. She pulled the blanket over her head immediately.

Jiang Xiaobai, you are such a perverted nymphomaniac! You’re actually lying down here and recalling last night’s event all by yourself! That stupid man has gone to work for god knows how long now! He wouldn’t be thinking about last night at all and you’re still staying here, thinking about it! Stop thinking about it again!

After that, Jiang Xiaobai flipped the blanket and got out of the bed, ready to wash her face. But, as she got down from the bed, her legs went weak and she almost fell down on the floor. Luckily, she managed to lie back down on the bed in time.

Afterward, Jiang Xiaobai struggled to take a deep breath. Then, she walked toward the bathroom in an awkward way.

After she washed her face and brushed her teeth, she had her breakfast. By the time she had recovered her energy, she received a call from her mother, Du Xiaoyu.

Since she had always been staying together with Xiao Su recently, Du Xiaoyu had not called her for a very long time. She didn’t force Jiang Xiaobai to go blind dating or get married either. So, the young lady managed to pass her days in a peaceful manner.

Therefore, she wasn’t as afraid as she used to be when she received Du Xiaoyu’s call now.

She took the call. “Hello.”

“Oh, you answered my call so quickly. It seems you’re not scared of me anymore now, are you?”

Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but mock her mother when she heard this by retorting, “Mom, seems like you know me very well.”

“You are my daughter. How can I not know what you are thinking about in your mind? You silly girl, you refused to come home before this because you were afraid that I would ask you to go blind dating, but why do you still refuse to come home now when you already have a boyfriend? Have you forgotten that you still have a mother when you already have a boyfriend?”

Jiang Xiaobai denied immediately by saying, “Mom, I didn’t. You must understand that your daughter just started dating not long ago. Now, we’re in the love bubble, so it’s difficult for us to separate from each other, okay?”

“Oh yeah? In the love bubble and difficult to separate from each other, huh? Do you think I didn’t notice that boyfriend of yours is just a guy you found to play your boyfriend?”

What? Jiang Xiaobai’s heart skipped a beat. She was a little surprised. Did Mom find out about this? No, maybe she’s just testing me.

However, whether she was just testing her or she already found out about it, Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t concerned about that anymore. After all, she and Xiao Su had become a real couple now.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai confessed straight away. “Yes, you’re right. In the beginning, I asked him to pretend to be my boyfriend. I didn’t have any freedom at all because you always ask me to go blind dating. The point is that I don’t share any common interest with those guys at all. That’s why I decided to find one and ask him to pretend to be my boyfriend first.”

“Hmph! You stupid girl. You are my daughter, so do you think I don’t know what kind of stupid idea you have in your mind?” It seemed that Du Xiaoyu already knew about that. She wasn’t surprised with the revelation at all.

“Mom, since you already knew, why didn’t you introduce other guys to me anymore afterward?”

“Well, he seems like a nice guy, so I wanted to see whether my daughter will end up being together with him in the end after pretending to be a couple. Have you guys been together?”

Jiang Xiaobai remained silent.

“Let me guess; you guys already live together now?”

“Mom! How did you know that?”

“You stupid girl, I told you before that you’re my daughter. Do you think I don’t know the sort of ideas you have in your mind? If you guys haven’t been together yet, you won’t admit that you were acting with him before this. Now that you guys have been together, you are not afraid of admitting that anymore.”

Jiang Xiaobai could only pout her lips after hearing Du Xiaoyu’s words. Fine, you’re my real mother indeed. You really know me very well, so well that you can even predict my next move and know what I’m thinking.

“The reason I didn’t contact you before this was because I wanted to give you more time. Since you guys have been together now, aren’t you supposed to bring him back home so we can have a meal together? Along with your father and his parents.”

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai felt something was off when Du Xiaoyu mentioned his parents.

“We’re still dating now and we’re not sure whether we’ll get married in the future. Don’t you think it’s rather inappropriate for you and dad to meet his parents now?”

“It’s just a simple gathering, so what’s there to be worried about? You’re the only daughter your father and I have, of course we need to know what kind of family the guy has and his parents’ personality, right? If we can’t accept his family, then I won’t agree to let you guys continue dating each other anymore. Well, surely we can’t wait until you’ve fallen madly in love with him before we meet his family, can we?”

Her words seemingly made sense, but who would actually do that? Parents from both sides of the families would only meet when the couple were sure that they were going to get married soon. After all, the couple would be the ones who would live together with each other for the rest of their lives.

“Xiaobai, you’re still a young girl, so you don’t understand, but the personality of your future father-in-law and mother-in-law is very important. Your father and I can’t stand you being bullied and feeling sad. You’ll understand us, won’t you?”

Du Xiaoyu talked to Jiang Xiaobai about a lot of things in a serious tone. She tried to persuade Jiang Xiaobai to accept her opinions, exactly like she was brainwashing Jiang Xiaobai. In the end, Jiang Xiaobai grew tired of her persuasion, so she had no choice but to say, “Well then, I’ll ask him about it after work later.”

They had just been together not long ago. She thought it wouldn’t be very appropriate to let their parents meet with each other’s parents now. Besides, the most important thing was she just suggested breaking up with Xiao Su recently.

Even if they really wanted to organize a meeting between their parents, she should bring Xiao Su to meet her own parents first. She should properly introduce Xiao Su to her parents over lunch or dinner. After all, she was already quite familiar with Xiao Su’s parents.

Jiang Xiaobai finally made up her mind after thinking about it. As soon as Xiao Su came back from work, she took the initiative to wrap her arms around his arm immediately.

“Are you free tomorrow?”

Xiao Su needed to attend two meetings on the next day. He was slightly puzzled after he heard Jiang Xiaobai’s question. “What’s the matter?”

“Uh, it’s my mother… She wants to have a meal with you.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1462

“About that, she called me today. She said since we have been dating for so long now, she and my dad want to meet you.” As Jiang Xiaobai finished, she studied the look in Xiao Su’s eyes and his expression carefully. She frowned immediately when she noticed he didn’t reply. “Why don’t you say something? Don’t tell me you don’t want to meet them?”

Xiao Su snapped out of his daze when he heard that. He pursed his thin lips. “No, that’s not it. What time tomorrow?”

“If you agree, then I’ll call and ask them about the time later.”

“Okay, tell me the time after you’ve asked them.”

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t leave. She stared at his face instead. “Don’t you think it’s kind of a rush for you to meet them now?” After all, both of them just started dating not long ago. Besides, if it wasn’t because of that incident when they both got drunk that night, they wouldn’t have been together.

Xiao Su thought it was another trick question. In fact, he, of course, thought it wasn’t too rushed meeting her parents now. However, he couldn’t simply reply to her, or else, he wasn’t sure what the woman would say to retort him again. So, after pondering for a moment, he said, “Whether it’s rushed or not, I’ll listen to you anyway.”

Jiang Xiaobai was rather surprised by his reply. Has the man become traumatized after I’ve retorted him so many times recently? His reply sounded so professional and flawless that she couldn’t refute him at all. Jiang Xiaobai felt amused when she thought that he must have pondered about it several times in his mind before he replied to her question. She couldn’t help but smile. “You’ll listen to me completely? Then, you’ll do everything as I say?”

“Haven’t I always been doing everything as you say?”

After staring at him for a while, Jiang Xiaobai said suddenly, “Okay then. Before we go and meet my parents tomorrow, we’ll buy some gifts first. Then, I shall accompany you to visit the girl you love.”

Xiao Su froze when he heard the words ‘the girl you love’. His reaction was rather obvious, for he didn’t expect that Jiang Xiaobai would say that suddenly. He also couldn’t respond in time, neither did he realize who she was referring to. So, he asked automatically, “The girl I love? You mean…” Half-way through his sentence, Xiao Su stopped suddenly, because he finally came to his realization and knew who Jiang Xiaobai was referring to.

“What’s the matter? You even forgot about the girl you love? You don’t need me to remind you who she is, do you?”

Xiao Su pursed his lips and looked at the young girl in front of him with his gloomy eyes. She was holding his arm now and she looked so beautiful with her eyes shining brightly. Besides, they were so sweet and intimate last night. Yet, she could say something like ‘the girl you love’ so easily while smiling and joking around with him now. Besides, the way she said it was so carefree and light-hearted that it seemed like she didn’t mind about it at all. For some inexplicable reasons, this made Xiao Su feel awful. He felt as though he was suffocating like something was weighing down on his heart. He pursed his thin lips into a straight line without replying to Jiang Xiaobai.

“I can’t even talk about her?” Jiang Xiaobai released his arm and sighed. “That day, you were so worried about her that you refused to leave even when I told you to.”

“You won’t let this incident go easily, huh?” asked Xiao Su, interrupting Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai took a glance at him when she heard this. She smiled and said, “I didn’t say I won’t let this go easily. In fact, I’ve put this incident behind me now.”

If you’ve already put this behind yourself now, then why are you still mentioning it over and over again? “The reason I mention it now is not because I want to mess with you. It’s just that I knew what you are thinking, so I just want to help you out. You have been very busy with your work every day recently, right? So, I bet you don’t have any chance to visit her at all, right? Besides, she was married, so it won’t be very appropriate for you to go and visit her alone. So, as your girlfriend, I’ll show my kindness, buy her some gifts and accompany you to visit her together. You just want to take a look at her and know that she’s fine, then you’ll be relieved, right?” As she finished, Jiang Xiaobai held out her arm and poked Xiao Su. “Don’t you think your girlfriend is very thoughtful and generous?”

She poked Xiao Su with her elbow right at his chest. The impact sent him staggering backward a bit. Helpless with Jiang Xiaobai, he smiled to himself bitterly. It’s true. She is rather thoughtful and generous indeed. However, he actually wished she wouldn’t be so thoughtful and generous. He already knew that Yan was fine. So, he really hadn’t thought of going over and visiting her at all. He didn’t expect that Jiang Xiaobai would actually think of that.

After Jiang Xiaobai had made up her mind, she called Du Xiaoyu and told her that they would go over the next afternoon. They would go and visit Yan in the morning, but before they went to visit her, Jiang Xiaobai hoped she could call and talk to her over the phone first. So, she kept pestering Xiao Su for Yan’s cell phone number.

Xiao Su had Yan’s phone number, but suddenly, he didn’t want to give Jiang Xiaobai the phone number despite her persistent request. “She has someone there to look after her. Seriously, she doesn’t need us to purposely go and visit her.”

Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she heard that. “What are you talking about? I have everything planned out nicely. Don’t worry, okay? Last time, I was upset because I was worried something might happen to you, but I’m the one who suggested we go visit her this time, so I won’t be angry.”

She thought Xiao Su was worried that she would get jealous, but the truth was that Xiao Su didn’t think that way. However, he wasn’t even exactly sure what he was thinking either. He just didn’t want her to accompany him to visit Yan. He pursed his lips and remained silent when he thought of this. He didn’t give her the phone number either.

“Give me the phone number! Hurry up!” Jiang Xiaobai shoved him.

Still, Xiao Su didn’t respond at all.

As such, Jiang Xiaobai became slightly upset. “Why are you being so hesitant now? You weren’t as slow as you are now when you dashed into the fire and saved her back then!”

No matter what Jiang Xiaobai said, Xiao Su just refused to give her the phone number. Jiang Xiaobai became so furious that she screamed at him. “Xiao Su, do you still consider yourself as a man? I told you that I—ah!”

Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Su, who had remained very silent, raised his head suddenly, much to Jiang Xiaobai’s surprise. He held out his arms, grabbed her shoulders and pushed her backward. Jiang Xiaobai was pressed on the sofa just like that. She goggled at Xiao Su over her in disbelief. “Weren’t you very clear about whether I’m a man or not last night?”

The corners of Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth quivered. “This isn’t what I mean. I mean you…” However, the next second, she was directly carried by Xiao Su in his arms as she felt herself being lifted into the air. He walked in the direction of the bedroom.

“What are you doing? Hey, put me down! I’m talking about an important thing with you. What on earth are you trying to do now?”

Xiao Su’s face looked grim. “To prove that I’m a man. This is the important thing we’re going to do next.”

What the f*ck! Jiang Xiaobai really wanted to curse at him now. Now was simply not the right time at all. Besides, they were still talking about the girl he loved. And then, all of a sudden, he wanted to have sex with her? Oh please, I’m not in the mood, okay?

“I’m warning you, Xiao Su; you better put me down before I blow my top! I swear I’m really going to explode very soon, I’m telling you!”

Bang! The bedroom door was kicked open and then, it was slammed shut again with another kick. Jiang Xiaobai didn’t know Xiao Su could be so violent before this. She glared at him with her bulging eyes and was about to curse at him when she felt dizzy all of a sudden. She was being thrown onto the large bed. Following that, a figure came towering over her.

“F*ck!” Jiang Xiaobai was so furious that she kept pushing and kicking him at the same time, but before she could land a kick on him, he had grabbed her wrist instead. She noticed that men usually possessed a natural instinct of being domineering over this kind of matter; they simply liked it when they were able to conquer women. For instance, even the usually shy and reserved Xiao Su would become so domineering during a time like this.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1463

He grabbed Jiang Xiaobai when she tried to kick him. When she tried to push him away with her hand, he then seized her wrists, securing them above her head.

Although there was a huge gap in strength, Jiang Xiaobai still didn’t want to give up. Despite being a girl, her character had always been strong. Even if she was to get married, she wanted to be the master of the family. Frankly speaking, she wanted to be on top.

What’s the meaning of this? He’s carrying me to the room without any romantic gestures. Especially when I had just mentioned that woman! Doesn’t he know how to respect me?

As Jiang Xiaobai was struggling hard to break free, Xiao Su had already crashed his lips on her. Noticing his action, Jiang Xiaobai immediately moved her head to the side, so his thin lips only managed to touch her face. After pausing for a while, he continued to chase after her lips, but Jiang Xiaobai kept turning her head away from him. Tired of her rejection, Xiao Su could only free one of his hands to hold her chin in place. Then, he leaned in to kiss her again.

Slap! Jiang Xiaobai immediately used her free hand to slap Xiao Su’s face.

In the quiet room, the sound of the slap was very loud. Xiao Su’s head was snapped to the side while Jiang Xiaobai’s pretty face was filled with anger. “I’ve told you before. Let me go now before I get mad!”

Xiao Su turned his head toward her, his eyes deeply fixed on her.

“What is the meaning of this?” Jiang Xiaobai pursed her red lip. Her beautiful eyes were red. Staring at him, she asked, “All you could think of is to bed me when I mentioned that woman. Do you know what respect is?”

When Xiao Su saw her red eyes, he finally gained back his self-control. Flustered, he explained, “It’s not what you think it is. I’m just…”

“Just what?! Am I not allowed to even talk about her? You immediately got angry just because I mentioned her! I don’t care if you’re angry but how could you be thinking of bedding me at this time? Where’s your respect for me?!”

Facing Jiang Xiaobai’s accusation, he couldn’t say anything back. Therefore, he was trying to shut her up in another way but he didn’t expect that it would make her angry. They stared at each other for a long time. Just when Jiang Xiaobai thought he was going to back off, Xiao Su suddenly lowered his head to cover her lips.

“Mmph—” Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes widen. This b*stard! How dare he do it again? Jiang Xiaobai was about to raise her hand again. However this time, before she could touch Xiao Su, he had already grabbed her hands and conquered her lips.

After a while, Xiao Su finally released her. His thin lips trailed along the tips of her nose, leaving soft kisses on her forehead, her hair, and finally, on her eyes.

At first, Jiang Xiaobai was still angry at him, but then, she could feel that his kisses had become more tender and loving. She even closed her eyes shyly when he was kissing her eyes. Although Xiao Su might be rough and hard like a rock, his lips were very soft. Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t understand what he was trying to do.

Releasing his hands on her, Xiao Su then rolled over to lie down beside her. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you”

Didn’t mean to hurt me? What does he mean? Jiang Xiaobai bit on her tongue hesitantly. His breath that had filled her mouth the second before had disappeared. He was still panting beside her.

After giving it a thought, Jiang Xiaobai rolled over to face him. “Is it that painful upon mentioning her name? Do you know that the more you act like this, the more I want to mention her in front of you? You are the one that dragged me into this in the first place.” Jiang Xiaobai looked at him with red eyes. “At first, I was ready to ignore everything. I would just act like nothing had happened. However, it was you who had caught up to me and said that you would bear the responsibility. Since you had promised to do so, you should at least do it right! I know you have another woman in your heart. I can understand you, and I am willing to wait for you. I wouldn’t have blamed her if she was a good woman. I just don’t understand why you are acting like this now.”

As soon as her eyes were red, Xiao Su’s mood also became more flustered than before. He quickly turned sideways, reaching out to move slowly toward her cheek. He opened his mouth as if to explain, but he didn’t know where to begin. What should I say? He, too, hadn’t sorted out his own emotions.

Jiang Xiaobai waited for a while. Seeing that he did not plan to say anything, she decided to turn her back to him and ignore him. At this moment, Xiao Su was even anxious. Looking at her back, he was at the end of wits, wondering what he should say. With her back facing Xiao Su, Jiang Xiaobai closed her eyes.

The two did not sleep a wink all night. And so, the next day, both of them had dark circles under their eyes. It was safe to say that they were not in a good mood too. Although they were exhausted, they weren’t sleepy. Xiao Su wanted to start a conversation with Jiang Xiaobai, but she didn’t even spare him a look. She went directly into the bathroom and closed the door.

Xiao Su was hanging up her phone when she had finished washing up. Looking at her, Xiao Su gave the phone a little wave. “Your mother just called. She asked what time we will be there,” he explained.

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned. Without saying anything, she walked toward him to take back her phone.

Xiao Su stared at her. When he realized that she was about to call back, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“We are not going,” Jiang Xiaobai said. “Our relationship is very unstable now. It’s better that we don’t meet each other’s parents for the time being.”

Xiao Su’s eyebrows frowned while listening to her words. He stood up and marched toward Jiang Xiaobai, snatching her mobile phone away directly. “How is our relationship unstable? We have already made a promise to them yesterday so we can’t break it now. What’s more, it’s not like I haven’t met them before. Just think of this as a casual meeting.” He put away Jiang Xiaobai’s mobile phone. With a gloomy face, he said, “We’ve agreed to meet them yesterday. If we don’t show up today, your parents will be worried.”

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t refute him as he might have a point. After standing quietly for a while, Xiao Su returned the mobile phone to her. “How about this? We will go there before lunch. It’s still a bit early now so you can go and have some sleep. I will wake you up later.”

Jiang Xiaobai finally raised her head to look at him. Both of them did not rest well yesterday so they had dark circles under their eyes. He wants me to go and have some rest. Then, what about him?

“Go.”

“Then, where are you going?”

“I will go to the market to buy the things to bring to your house.”

Jiang Xiaobai blinked. Seems like he’s trying to apologize. She suddenly nodded. “Alright, go on then. I will go and sleep now.” With that, she took off her slippers and got into the quilt without any hesitation. She covered herself up, only revealing her head outside of the quilt.

So far, Xiao Su had always been a gentleman. After a quarrel, he would take the initiative to talk to her and admit his mistake. Like now, he would go shopping by himself and then let her have some rest although both of them did not rest well yesterday night. His action had made Jiang Xiaobai feel much better, so her anger also gradually dissipated. However, she didn’t plan to talk to him yet. Men like Xiao Su need to be taught a lesson. It’s better to wait for a while.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai closed her eyes without feeling guilty and went to sleep.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1464

After washing himself, Xiao Su changed into something casual. He then drove to a nearby supermarket to buy nutritional supplements for the middle-aged and elderly people, fresh meat, fruit and seafood. After all, they were going to have lunch together.

After hesitating for a while, he thought that it would be better if he could prepare some gifts for Xiaobai’s parents. Therefore, Xiao Su bought a belt and a scarf for his future in-laws.

After preparing the two gifts, Xiao Su received a call from his mother, Liang Yahe.

“Son, are you not at work today? I called Xiaobai just now but she didn’t answer. Is she still in bed?”

Xiao Su muted Xiaobai’s phone before he came out. He didn’t think that it would cause Xiaobai to miss his mother’s phone call. Therefore, he explained, “Yes, she didn’t have enough rest yesterday night. That’s why I’ve muted her phone and asked her to continue sleeping.”

“No wonder. I was wondering why Xiaobai did not answer my phone. So it was because of you!”

“What’s the matter mom?” Xiao Su asked.

“Why? Can’t a mother call her own son?”

Xiao Su knew his mother very well. Every time she made a phone call, she must have a particular reason in mind. If there was nothing going on, his mother won’t bother to call him. Basically, she would leave him as he was.

Therefore, Xiao Su didn’t say anything. He was waiting for his mother to spill the beans first.

As expected, Xiao Su didn’t have to ask. Liang Yahe immediately told him her reasons. “Well, some of my friends and I are going to have a hot spring bath at Mount Dongyun today. They all say that the hot spring is good for our skin, so they have their families with them. How can I go alone? When I thought that Xiaobai should be at home all the time, I was thinking of asking her to come with me.”

Hearing this, Xiao Su remembered that they need to go to Xiaobai’s house for lunch. He pursed his lips. “Today? I’m afraid we can’t make it.”

“Why not?” Liang Yahe was dissatisfied. “Are you stopping me from taking Xiaobai out? Xiao Su, don’t you plan to be with Xiaobai for a long time? I’m telling you son, you’ve taken away her first time. If you dare to run away from your responsibility, your father and I will break your leg.”

Xiao Su’s eyelids jumped. His lips could not help twitching.

Why is she mentioning this again?

“Mom, don’t simply mention this matter again in the future. Please don’t mention it in front of Xiaobai too.”

Thinking about it, Xiao Su felt that it was better for him to tell his mother their plan today.

“Xiaobai can’t go with you because we have another plan.”

“Another plan? What is it?”

Liang Yahe immediately became curious. If her son and Jiang Xiaobai had other interesting activities to do, why would she go to the hot spring with those women who were with their families? Wouldn’t it be better for her to accompany her son and Jiang Xiaobai instead?

“We’re going to Xiaobai’s house to have lunch with her family.”

Hearing this, Liang Yahe immediately blew up.

“What? You’re going to visit her parents?! Why don’t you tell me beforehand? I could have been prepared.”

“What are you going to prepare?” Xiao Su helplessly explained, “It’s going to be just me and Xiaobai today. We did not make any arrangements for you and dad to join in.”

Liang Yahe didn’t agree to his plan at all. She insisted on making the preparation to follow them to Xiaobai’s house.

“What do you know? You and Xiaobai will be together in the future. Sooner or later, we will have to meet with our in-laws. I know your personality very well. What if Xiaobai’s mother is not satisfied with you if I let you go alone? That’s it. I’ve got to prepare right now and go with your dad.”

“But…”

Liang Yahe had already hung up the phone before Xiao Su could say anything.

Keeping his mobile phone, he regretted that he had told Liang Yahe about his plan. He should have kept it a secret. With Liang Yahe’s personality, she might even mention the marriage with Xiaobai’s mother over lunch today.

He and Xiaobai were in a relationship, but just as Xiaobai had said, whether he was willing to admit it, the relationship was still very unstable.

This was because their relationship did not start off because of love.

He hadn’t yet sorted out his feelings. He did not know if Xiaobai really liked him or not.

If both parents are going to meet each other today…

Xiao Su quickly went home after shopping. When he pushed open the bedroom door, Jiang Xiaobai was still sleeping. She had rolled to the corner with a pillow. Her hands and feet did not cover the quilt.

Xiao Su walked over to pull the quilt for her. He then sat down by the bed.

He knew Liang Yahe’s character very well. She would definitely tag along if she had said so. She might have already been on her way now.

Therefore, Xiao Su could only mute his mobile phone. He then sent a message to Liang Yahe, telling her that Xiaobai was still sleeping, asking her not to shout when she arrived so that Xiaobai could sleep longer.

Liang Yahe immediately replied with an emoji sticker with an OK gesture.

After that, she added another message. ‘I don’t need you to remind me. I know how to take care of my own daughter-in-law.’

Xiaobai had a good sleep after being sulky for the whole night yesterday. It was already late when she woke up. The room was quiet. She then found her mobile phone and took a look at the time.

It’s almost 11?! Oh my god! Didn’t Xiao Su say that he would wake me up? Why didn’t he do so?! Did he secretly get back to sleep?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai got out of bed. After covering herself with a coat, she then walked to the door.

Just when she had opened the door, she bumped into Xiao Su who was about to come in.

Both of them stopped their pace when they saw each other.

“You’re awake.”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded. “It’s already 11 o’clock. Why didn’t you wake me up earlier? Can we make it in time if we go now? ”

“We won’t be late.” Xiao Su shook his head. “The timing is perfect. Everything has been taken care of. I’m here to pick you up.”

“I’ll go and change then.”

Jiang Xiaobai turned around, but Xiao Su grabbed her arm. “Erm, there’s a change of plan,” he said.

“Huh?”

“My parents heard about our plan today, so…”

“Huh? Are you telling me that our parents are meeting each other today?”

This was completely out of Jiang Xiaobai’s expectation. She did imagine that their parents would meet eventually, but she didn’t expect that it was going to be today.

“You know how my mom is. When she heard that I’m going to have lunch at your house, she thought it is better to book a place in a hotel and invite your parents over.”

Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but raised a brow. “So, are you telling me that you’ve already taken my parents to the hotel when I was still in bed?”

Xiao Su didn’t answer, but the expression on his face had already explained everything.

Jiang Xiaobai rubbed her head, feeling dizzy. Oh my god! How the world has changed after a nap!

“So, are you going to change?” Xiao Su pointed to her back. Jiang Xiaobai could only nod helplessly. “Yes. Please wait for me.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1465

This was not the first time Jiang Xiaobai had met Xiao Su’s parents. This was because she was used to exchanging messages with Xiao Su’s mother. Besides, his mother also treated her very well, and Jiang Xiaobai was very familiar with them.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai was not nervous at all about this meeting.

Everyone attending this meeting was people she knew well.

However, that was not the case with Xiao Su. He didn’t face Xiaobai’s mother every day like how Jiang Xiaobai did with his mother. He had only met Jiang Xiaobai’s parents a few times before this. Although his appearance was always calm, he was actually a little nervous and embarrassed.

Both parents-in-law were having a great chat inside the VIP private room of the hotel restaurant.

Du Xiaoyu and Liang Yahe were very similar in character. Both of them were talkative. Moreover, both women loved to dress up. As both of them were generous in spending, as soon as they met, they brought gifts for each other.

Du Xiaoyu took out the bracelet which she had kept for many years while Liang Yahe also took out his ancestral jade pendant. Both of them were jade lovers. As soon as they saw each others’ gift, they immediately knew the sincerity of the other side. Therefore, they hit it off right off the bat.

Both of them soon started chatting happily, leaving the two old men who were looking at each other embarrassedly.

Xiao Su’s father, Xiao Mingzhi, touched his stubble. He then looked up at Jiang Yanke beside him. “Come. Let’s have a drink.”

Xiao Mingzhi was an old drunkard that loved to drink. Usually, as Xiao Su’s father, he should take the initiative to start a conversation with the in-law first. However, Xiao Mingzhi was a man of few words. Therefore, he could only ask the other party to drink.

Normally, Jiang Yanke would not have any drinks because his wife didn’t like it. However, that day was a special day, so he didn’t refuse. They soon had a toast.

Once men had had a drink with one another, they quickly familiarized with each other. Therefore, both of them had also started chatting after a few drinks.

As for the two mothers here, they had already started talking about marriage.

“My son was very boring. He never had a girlfriend before so he didn’t know how to treat a girl nicely. Therefore, please forgive him if he makes any mistake. I will educate him in the future!”

Du Xiaoyu waved her hand. She had an even disgusted expression on her face. “Isn’t that a good thing? This means that he focused so much on his career that he had no time to get a girlfriend. Xiaobai has a lot of shortcomings too. She only knows how to stay in front of the computer and doesn’t know how to go out and have fun or to meet some new friends. Besides, she’s super lazy, so I wonder how she can get herself a boyfriend.”

“I think Xiaobai is really good. She’s pretty and obedient. If our family could have someone like her in our family, it will be a great blessing!”

Du Xiaoyu was observing Liang Yahe when she was saying this. She realized that Liang Yahe did genuinely like Xiaobai very much. Both Liang Yahe and Xiaobai looked very close to each other.

“Mrs. Jiang, may I know your secret?”

“Secret?”

“I think you’re really good at maintaining yourself. You don’t have any wrinkles on your face! I can’t believe that you are actually Xiaobai’s mother! I won’t doubt a thing if you told me that you’re her sister!”

“That’s too much of a compliment!” Du Xiaoyu was so happy that when she laughed, the wrinkles at her eyes all burst out. “You are the one who looks younger. The teenagers nowadays do not have skin that’s as smooth and tender as yours!”

Liang Yahe was also very happy to hear this compliment.

When the two men heard this, they could not help but look at how the two women who had wrinkles in their eyes were praising each other.

What else can we say? They are our wives.

Laughing, Liang Yahe said, “Mrs. Jiang, since we’ve met with each other today, I would like to ask directly. When do you think Xiaobai and Xiao Su should have their wedding?”

At first, Du Xiaoyu thought that Liang Yahe was being friendly when she addressed her as co-mother-in-law. She never expected that Liang Yahe was serious. Du Xiaoyu was taken aback by her question. “Wedding? I thought that young people nowadays seem to advocate late marriage. Will both of them agree to it? Isn’t it a bit too fast?”

Liang Yahe smiled kindly. “It’s not that fast. After discussing the wedding details now, we still have to look for the perfect date. Moreover, it’s better that they could get married as soon as possible. Otherwise, Xiaobai might be pregnant by then.”

Hearing this, Du Xiaoyu was stunned. “P-P-Pregnant?”

She didn’t understand what was going on. How could her daughter suddenly get pregnant?

Didn’t tell me that they had already gone to bed together?

Thinking of this, Du Xiaoyu’s expression changed drastically. She suddenly stood up.

Her action startled the people around her. Everyone immediately looked at her. Liang Yahe was looking at her curiously, “What’s the matter?”

Du Xiaoyu suddenly realised that her actions were impolite. Therefore, she tried to calm herself down. With a fake smile on her face, she then sat down again.

“It’s OK. It just occurred to me that I might have forgotten to turn off the gas in my house. But when I think about it carefully, I remember that I had checked on it before I came out. So I think it’s already turned off.”

Hearing this, Liang Yahe immediately replied with a serious tone, “The gas is not a small matter. You should be more careful next time. Gas explosions are very dangerous.”

“Thank you for your concern. I will be careful.”

Du Xiaoyu forced a fake smile while she was thinking to herself. This Xiaobai! I thought they were just pretending to be a couple? Had they crossed the line? Or is it because that they’ve had sex with each other that they decided to fake their relationship?

I have to interrogate her for the details later!

Although she did hope that her daughter would get married soon, she didn’t want her to get married so foolishly. If she was to get married, it must be because of love! Or else, she might as well stay single forever!

On another hand, Liang Yahe didn’t know what Du Xiaoyu was thinking. She was very satisfied with her future daughter-in-law and her parents. She thought that it was Xiao Su’s blessing to be able to marry Xiaobai.

Soon, Xiao Su and Xiaobai arrived.

When both of them entered, everyone’s attention immediately focused on Jiang Xiaobai.

As for Xiao Su, he was being ignored by them.

“Oh, Xiaobai is here.” When Liang Yahe saw Xiaobai, she immediately got up and took her hand with great enthusiasm. “Come and sit here between your mother and me.”

Du Xiaoyu also got up. She also wanted to call Xiaobai over, but Liang Yahe had already pulled Xiaobai toward her. So, she stopped to look at Xiao Su.

Compared to the last time she had seen him at the house, his face was still the same. He still had the same scar on his face.

“Hi, Madam Jiang,” Xiao Su nodded and greeted Du Xiaoyu before he turned to Jiang Yanke. “Hi, Mr. Jiang.”

After greeting Jiang Xiaobai’s parents, Xiao Su turned to greet his own parents. “Dad, mom.”

“Have a seat.”

Liang Yahe was completely indifferent toward Xiao Su. However, the way she treated Xiaobai was like she was someone precious to her.

“Come and look at the menu, Xiaobai. What do you want to eat? Do tell me what you don’t eat as well. I will ask the waiter not to put it in the dishes.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1466

“Alright.” Jiang Xiaobai had used to behave in such a way in front of Liang Yahe, so she didn’t think there was anything strange for behaving like this. She directly picked up the menu and looked at it thoroughly.

“I want to try this. Let’s not order this. It doesn’t seem good. Oh, and this…” Jiang Xiaobai’s fair fingers moved swiftly above the menu while Liang Yahe was staring at her with a pleased smile.

Du Yuxiao and Jiang Yanke could not help but exchange a look with each other as they saw that.

Why do I feel that our daughter is enjoying the attention naturally? Has she been very close to Xiao Su’s parents already? Or should I say Xiao Su’s parents are actually pampering Xiaobai dearly like their own daughter?

“Mrs. Jiang, you have no idea how I wished to have a daughter and ended up only having a son. I prefer to have a daughter than a son. Girls are always soft and lovely. The touch feels different if you carry a baby girl in hands. Look at how beautiful Xiaobai is. I really like her.”

Listening to Liang Yahe’s words, Du Xiaoyu immediately realized that she was pampering Xiaobai as her own daughter.

It seems like this is not the first time Liang Yahe treats Xiaobai so dearly. Not only does Xiaobai not seem to be awkward or surprised by her behavior, she also looks natural and has seemed already used to it. Hence, I think their behavior is not an act in front of us but they really treat her well sincerely.

Everyone’s attention was on Xiaobai, and no one paid attention to Xiao Su who was sitting at the side.

Even when they had ordered the dishes, no one asked him if he wanted to add on any dish and directly returned the menu to the waiter.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Xiao Su’s expression. There wasn’t any sense of anger or irritation on his face. She thought he either did not mind or just being heedless.

But judging his character, he might be really heedless about the situation.

As soon as the dishes were served, as expected, Liang Yahe had been taking care of Jiang Xiaobai by helping her to fill her bowl with food. Du Xiaoyu didn’t have any chance to get along with Jiang Xiaobai. Soon, Jiang Xiaobai’s bowl was fully filled with all kinds of food that were served.

No one paid attention to Xiao Su at all.

Du Xiaoyu scanned through him several times while they were having meals. She felt uneasy and irritated to think that he had slept with her precious daughter whom she raised dearly for years.

However, she felt less irritated later as she thought that her daughter would have to marry a man someday. Yet, she knew that she wasn’t going to let this man have her daughter so easily.

After enjoying the meal, it was time for them to have conversations.

Du Xiaoyu began to interview Xiao Su about his background and financial capability. Before Xiao Su could answer the question asked, Liang Yahe had taken out a file and put it on the table in front of Du Xiaoyu.

“Mrs. Jiang, this is the resume of Xiao Su. I have written down all the merits and bad deeds he did since he was young. Have a look.”

Du Xiaoyu was dumbfounded as she took the resume from Liang Yahe. “R-Resume?”

Who would prepare this kind of thing while meeting in-laws? Shouldn’t it only be used during job interview sessions?

Xiao Su didn’t expect Liang Yahe would prepare such a thing too, so his expression turned dark. “Mom, why do you have to do this?”

Liang Yahe glared at him angrily and rebuked him sternly, “What’s wrong? Don’t you have to tell her parents every single detail of you when you want to marry their daughter? Otherwise, how would Mrs. Jiang know if you are a reliable man or a jerk?”

“Oh, and this.” Liang Yahe took out her family’s saving account book and added with a smile, “Mrs. Jiang, this is the house property and savings of Xiao Su.”

Du Xiaoyu’s hands, which were holding the resume, trembled slightly. Reluctant to accept the things given by Liang Yahe, Du Xiaoyu said, “I-I don’t think we want to look at this.”

“You should! We will be a family soon when Xiaobai is married to Xiao Su. No secret should be kept within a family. Moreover, it’s important to marry a good and reliable man. Although our family is not considered very rich, we will treat Xiaobai well for sure!”

Liang Yahe didn’t feel wary at all, but Du Xiaoyu didn’t dare to look at it casually.

Anyhow, personal savings and property were very private. Since Liang Yahe was willing to show it without any concern, it illustrated her sincerity.

“Mrs. Jiang, just have a look.”

Jiang Xiaobai also felt awkward, so she quickly said, “Mrs. Xiao, I think you can keep this since it’s too personal. Besides, our family doesn’t mind about this kind of thing.”

Listening to the last sentence, Liang Yahe suddenly realized something and kept the saving book. She explained with a smile, “Don’t get it wrong. I didn’t mean it. It’s just that I feel since we’re discussing your marriage, I should show everything we have to Xiaobai. If she isn’t satisfied with our condition, I’ll ask Xiao Su to work harder.”

Du Xiaoyu finally realized that Xiao Su’s parents were here today to make the marriage happen. She felt they were quite nice, simple and friendly. They seemed unguarded and had no bad intention at all. In spite of that, it was the very first time for her to meet them. Marriage was something meant to last forever, and they would have to get along with each other for a very long time. She thus thought there was a need for her to observe them for a longer period of time.

As a result, Du Xiaoyu found an excuse to ask Jiang Xiaobai to go to the washroom with her. Jiang Xiaobai probably saw through her mother’s thought and went with her.

As soon as they entered the bathroom, Du Xiaoyu immediately grasped Jiang Xiaobai’s shoulder and asked in worry, “What’s going on? Both of you have already slept together?”

Jiang Xiaobai expected her mother to have a question to ask her, but she didn’t expect her to be so straightforward. Listening to her frank words, Jiang Xiaobai was almost choked by her own saliva.

“Cough, cough…” Jiang Xiaobai only calmed herself down after a long cough. She then took some time to adjust her voice before she asked, “Mom, what are you talking about?”

Listening to that, Du Xiao sneered as she crossed her arms in front of her chests and gave her a side glance.

“You know what I’m talking about. You wicked girl. You found a man to pretend as your boyfriend just to decline the blind date I arranged for you. Both of you seem to get along well, and I’m happy if both of you really can date each other. But you should also take care of your own dignity!”

My dignity? Jiang Xiaobai blinked her eyes, which were like a pool as clear as crystal.

“It’s the 21st century now. What dignity should I take care of? I just spent a night sleeping with him. It’s not a big deal at all.” These words were obviously uttered out of Jiang Xiaobai’s embarrassment.

“What did you say?!” Du Xiaoyu gaped. She raised her hand and was about to slap Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai quickly stopped her, “Mom, chill. I’m just joking. Don’t worry, I didn’t ruin my dignity. Both of us are single and unmarried. If you think that I’ve ruined it, how about him then? So you shouldn’t say I have ruined my dignity when both of us have spent a night in bed. If I have ruined my dignity, it would be the same for him as well.”

“You silly girl, you still think that you have taken care of your dignity? Why do you think I’m so worried about it? What if you get pregnant? If you don’t plan to get married or have a child later, how bad will it hurt your body if you want to abort the child?”

As she heard about pregnancy, Jiang Xiaobai snorted, “I-It’s kinda impossible to get pregnant so soon, I guess?”

“Why is it impossible? When was the last time you had your period?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1467

Period? Jiang Xiaobai bit her lips as she said, “It isn’t the time yet for this month.”

“Take note of that when you go home. Remember to pay attention during the week that you are supposed to have your period. What if you don’t even know if you are pregnant?”

“Mom!”

“I’m not your mom! Jesus! Do you still think that you didn’t bring trouble to yourself? Who is the one who will deliver the child? You are the one who will do it!”

Jiang Xiaobai felt a headache when she mentioned this. Being really drunk, both of them rolled in a hay fiercely on the bed that night. When they woke up the next morning, Jiang Xiaobai immediately packed her stuff and escaped from him as she didn’t want to see him. She didn’t take any pills after that as she was too busy avoiding him.

But we only did it once. Surely it’s not that easy for me to get pregnant. If I really got knocked up after just doing it once, then Xiao Su really is a virile man!

“Hey, what are you thinking?”

Du Xiaoyu’s voice pulled Jiang Xiaobai’s mind back. After getting back to her sense, Jiang Xiaobai smiled awkwardly and said, “Nothing, nothing. I mean, don’t worry, mom. I definitely won’t get pregnant.”

“Do you think things always happen as you wish? If that’s so, there won’t be so many abortion cases in our country!”

“Fine, fine, mom, don’t be angry. Who says that we won’t get married? Look at how well Xiao Su’s parents treat me. His mom spent a lot of money buying presents for me. Those skincare products she gave me cost up to hundred thousand!”

Listening to that, Du Xiaoyu’s expression changed slightly. “They are really generous, aren’t they? It seems like they really treat you well. After all, it’s not certain that you will be married to their son yet.”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded her head hard. “I also feel that they treat me well sincerely. It’s easy to put on an act but it will be difficult to put on a perfect act in treating me well like this. Every behavior of them may expose their intentions. But if they are sincere enough, there won’t be any intentions behind to be exposed. Judging from how they treat me, I can feel that they are really sincere.”

After hearing these words, Du Xiaoyu gained a better impression on Xiao Su’s family.

“What happened to Xiao Su before? Why is there a scar on his face?”

“Hmm, I never ask him about it. I think it’s better not to ask him that. Who knows if that is his sore spot. Besides, I think he looks even more handsome with that scar! Mom, you won’t disdain him for having a scar on his face, will you?”

“Why would I do so? My daughter adores him like a treasure. How would I dare to disdain him because of that?”

“Tee-hee.” Jiang Xiaobai clung onto Du Xiaoyu’s arm and leaned on her shoulder. “Mom, you’re the best! Don’t worry, I will never mistreat myself. Xiao Su is a good man. It’s just that he is a little slow-witted, but he is becoming the best husband material now under my training. I haven’t thought about getting married before this. However, if I’m really going to get married, I want to marry this kind of man whom I can control.”

“The most important thing is that you like him, isn’t it?”

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t say a word and only replied with a smile.

She couldn’t deny that. She wondered since when she had begun to care about Xiao Su. Perhaps it was when his ears turned red when he faced her, or it was when he helped to wash the dishes quietly every day, or maybe it was when both of them had sex on the bed that night.

She didn’t care when she started to like him.

It was because she and Xiao Su didn’t fall in love at first sight. They didn’t have feelings toward each other at the beginning. They only got closer and began to develop feelings toward each other after living together for some time. As time passed, Jiang Xiaobai realized that she had gotten used to him and started to like him.

“Well, well. As my daughter, you have never easily fallen in love with a man. Since you like him so much, I will trust your decision.”

Looking at Jiang Xiaobai who was in a deep thought with drooping eyes, Du Xiaoyu had no idea what was in her mind and just let her be.

That night, after having the meal, Jiang Xiaobai seemed to be in a happy mood. All of them were enjoying themselves with some wine except Xiao Su. He didn’t even take a sip of the wine.

After the meal, Jiang Xiaobai, who was already drunk, fell into Xiao Su’s arms. She stretched out her hands and pulled his tie while whining, “Cheers!”

Du Xiaoyu’s alcohol tolerance was quite good. Since she also didn’t drink much of the wine, she was still sober. Noticing that Xiao Su didn’t even take a sip of the wine with the consideration that he had to send Jiang Xiaobai home later, Du Xiaoyu felt satisfied to see how thoughtful he was. Bonus mark for this!

Staggering, Jiang Xiaobai attempted to get the wine bottle on the table. At this time, Xiao Su grabbed the wine bottle away from her and put it at the side.

“Hmph! Why did you snatch away my wine bottle? Give it back to me!” Jiang Xiaobai lunged forward, but she was stopped by Xiao Su and ended up falling into his arms.

Xiao Su was a little bit nervous. He knew well that she was always immersed in her role-playing imagination when she was drunk. It would be very embarrassing if she did that in front of both of their parents here at this time.

Therefore, he knew he should take her leave here immediately.

However, he couldn’t leave yet as her parents were still here.

Hence, he could only hold her tight as she dropped into his arms before raising his head to look at Du Xiaoyu and Jiang Yanke.

“Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, I have called a cab. It’s already here. I’ll send you back first.”

Du Xiaoyu waived, turning down his offer.

“Look at how drunk Xiaobai is. Send her back first.”

“But…” Xiao Su was hesitating since both of their parents were still here.

“Cheers! Cheers!” Jiang Xiaobai was starting her drunk tantrums again. Being embraced in Xiao Su’s arms made her feel bored, so she reached out to play with Xiao Su’s ear. After being pinched and played by her, his ear turned red at once.

Everyone was looking at this happening silently.

Jiang Yanke suggested in a serious manner, “Bring her back first. Look at her, you’ll still have to take care of her after going back. It will be a long night for you.”

“That’s right. Go home with her first. It’s fine to leave us here. We have things to discuss with Mr. and Mrs. Jiang. It will be better that you go home first.”

Since both of their parents had been saying so, Xiao Su nodded his head and uttered, “Alright then. I will take Xiaobai home first.”

As he just finished saying, he carried Xiaobai in his arms and stood up. Jiang Xiaobai had been really drunk. She kept playing with his ears and hair. She was kicking and punching him when he carried her up in his arms.

“Let go of me, you bastard! I want to drink more! Believe me or not, I’ll tear down your house roof if you don’t let me go!”

Du Xiaoyu who was at the side was completely speechless listening to Xiaobai’s nonsocial utterance.

How terrible she is when she is drunk!

However, she noticed that Liang Yahe and her husband were smiling while she was behaving in such a way. It seemed that they didn’t mind it at all, which made Du Xiaoyu feel relieved.

Xiao Su finally brought Xiaobai out of the room after spending some time dealing with her. As soon as they had left, Du Xiaoyu said in embarrassment, “I’m really sorry. My daughter is just too immature. It’s very embarrassing to let you find out her misbehavior after being drunk.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1468

It’s fine!” Liang Yahe waved her hand gently and said with a smile, “It’s good for a girl to be so cheerful. Besides, it’s cute for a girl to behave slightly immature. Judging from her character, I can see how well you two have protected her all these years. Xiao Su will take over the responsibility to protect, love and pamper her dearly in future!”

As a woman, Liang Yahe knew how miserable it would be to be mistreated by the mother-in-law after getting married, which she had experienced before.

Back then when her mother-in-law treated her badly, she thought she must not do the same to her own future daughter-in-law. She wanted to devote all her love to her daughter-in-law so that everyone would be jealous of her having such a nice mother-in-law.

Why would the daughters-in-law have to receive the ill-treatments from the family-in-law once they get married? They aren’t nannies, so they shouldn’t be doing all kinds of tiring house chores and treated badly just because they are married to their sons. They must be treated well! This was what Liang Yahe thought, and she told herself not to repeat the history she had experienced before with her family-in-law.

Du Xiaoyu suddenly felt moved by Liang Yahe’s words. She touched her nose as she said softly, “I didn’t expect you to be so nice to Xiaobai.”

Liang Yahe got closer to Du Xiaoyu and said, “I know right? Mrs. Jiang, why don’t we begin our discussion on their marriage?”

Du Xiaoyu was a little stunned by how hurried Liang Yahe was.

Meanwhile, Xiao Su had finally reached home while carrying Jiang Xiaobai in his arms.

Cold sweats were all over his forehead, and a strong desire was ignited in his chest. Stumbling a little upon entering their house, he almost fell onto the ground.

The light was not lit and the room was dark. A touch of moonlight shone into the room through the window.

He was glad that he had listened to their parents’ advice—bring Jiang Xiaobai home. Otherwise, things would be worse.

It was because Jiang Xiaobai had been playing with his ears when they were in the cab. Not only that, while hugging him, she kept asking for kisses with pouting lips.

At first, Xiao Su kissed her as she wished in order to stop her from acting wilder.

But once was not enough. She didn’t let go of him and kept smooching his lips in the cab. Xiao Su could even feel the awkwardness of the driver.

Then, he ended up cuddling her tight in his arms to prevent her from provoking him.

However, Jiang Xiaobai turned out to slip her hand into his shirt. As she touched his nipple, Xiao Su could feel his vein popping on his forehead.

He tried his best to control himself while seizing her hands. “Xiaobai, stop playing around. We’ll do that when we get home, alright?”

“No.” She shook her head, continuing to molest him while lowering her head to bite the button on his shirt.

Although he didn’t touch her skin directly, having her head sticking in front of his chest and rubbing on his body, Xiao Su had gone mad about it.

As he was trying to stop her, the car finally reached their house. Before the driver left with his cab, he told Xiao Su with a smile, “Dude, what a great girlfriend you have. You should really treat her well.”

Finally they opened the door and entered the room. Jiang Xiaobai acted even wilder when Xiao Su didn’t stop her anymore.

Xiao Su’s sexual desire had aroused completely because of her. It explained the reason for him to stumble as they entered their room.

He held on the little girl who had picked up his desire. He carried her up and asked hoarsely, “Are you playing with fire after being drunk? Do you know the consequences?”

With his strength, it wasn’t difficult for him to carry Jiang Xiaobai up effortlessly as she was very light. She struggled and yelled, “Put me down! I want you to hug and kiss me!”

Getting used to the darkness in the room, Xiao Su had clearly seen her fine and delicate face features in the dark. He loosened his arms and brought her close to him while embracing her waist. He then lowered his forehead and stuck it close to hers. “What role are you playing again today?”

“Huh? Role? I’m not playing any role. You bastard, have you forgotten me?”

“Who are you?” Xiao Su asked with a husky voice.

“Hmph! You’re so mean! How could you forget me? I’m the baby you brought home twenty years ago!”

Pff! Xiao Su almost burst into laughter while he stared at her, finding it amusing.

And this time she becomes the baby whom I brought home twenty years ago?

Just when he was laughing at her words, Jiang Xiaobai approached him, bringing her lips nearer to him. “Although you are already an old man, I still love you.”

Xiao Su was stunned, staring at Jiang Xiaobai who was very near to him in a daze.

Both of them were very close to each other. It wasn’t the first time for them to be so intimate, but it was the first time Jiang Xiaobai confessing her feelings truthfully like this.

Hence, Xiao Su was stunned to hear that.

Jiang Xiaobai took the initiative to go nearer and kiss his lips. She then confessed with a smile, “I like you.”

Xiao Su was still dumbfounded and hadn’t gotten back to his senses.

“I love you!” She kissed him once again and even embraced her hands around his neck. Staring into his eyes with a serious expression, she asked, “Why aren’t you replying to me?”

Gulping, Xiao Su slightly moved his lips, but he failed to say a word. As if he had lost his voice, he could barely speak with his hoarse voice after a long hesitation.

“I…”

Love you too.

At the end, he still couldn’t utter the latter words. Jiang Xiaobai was obviously unhappy about it. She kept pestering. “You what? Do you love me? Yes or no?”

Xiao Su grabbed her wrists while saying, “Xiaobai, you’re drunk.”

“No! I’m not drunk! Answer me! Do you love me?”

Her lips were just right in front of his eyes. They were red and soft, just like the fresh rose petals which had just been wetted by the morning dew.

Xiao Su failed to hold back his desire at the end of the day. He sealed her lips, cut out all the grumble she had, including the question of her asking if he loved her.

He closed his eyes desperately.

Hmm. Jiang Xiaobai moaned as she embraced his neck passionately.

They were just kissing at first. As they started to make out, things got out of control due to the spark they had before.

Nothing could be seen in the dark, but they could clearly feel the touch and sense on each other’s body.

Their clothes slowly glided down to the floor…

The next morning, Jiang Xiaobai sat on bed while clutching her painful head. Squinting her eyes, she took a glance out of the window. The sun was shining brightly, which suggested that it was already noon.

Did I sleep until this hour?

Yesterday night, after drinking some wine, she was drunk and couldn’t remember anything that happened after that. As usual, she got out of bed and was about to get herself ready by taking a bath.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped on the ground, she immediately went weak at the knees and sat on the cold floor when she lost her balance.

What happened to my legs? Jiang Xiaobai was bewildered.

Having the difficulty to get up by herself, she sat on the ground and dived into a deep thought. Why do I feel the same as how I felt a few days ago? Don’t tell me that I did something terrible to Xiao Su again last night when I was drunk!

Having that thought in her mind, she couldn’t help but gulp. She thought while trembling her lips, why do I always do this kind of terrible thing?

As she was still pondering while sitting on the floor, she received a message on her mobile phone. She picked up the phone and saw a message from her mother, Du Xiaoyu.

‘Xiaobai, give me Xiao Su’s birth date. I’m going to ask a fortune teller to see if both of you are a good match.’

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1469

What the hell?! Jiang Xiaobai paused when she saw the message. We just met last night and now she wants to match our horoscopes? Who else still does that nowadays? Jiang Xiaobai thought to herself while replying to her mother’s message. ‘Mom, we’re living in the twenty-first century and we don’t need horoscopes anymore.’ As soon as her text message was sent, she immediately received a call from Mrs. Jiang. “This is a tradition that has been going on for generations. So, give me a reason why it should be an exception when it’s your turn.”

Upon hearing her mother’s voice, Jiang Xiaobai pouted and said, “Horoscopes were used to predict marriages in the olden days because people didn’t get to decide whom they would marry. They were betrothed by their parents, which meant they didn’t get to see their soulmates until the wedding day. Therefore, we don’t need to match our horoscopes now as we both are getting along well. What’re we going to do if our horoscopes don’t match? Break up?”

“Exactly,” Du Xiaoyu answered in a firm manner. Upon hearing that, Jiang Xiaobai was unhappy. “Then, it’s a ‘no’ from me.”

“Silly girl, do you really think I won’t be able to find out what I want to know? You know how desperate his mom wants you to be her daughter-in-law, so I’m going to ask her. I’m sure she’ll answer my question.”

“Go ahead then. You don’t care about what I need anyway, and neither does it concern me. I only trust myself.” Jiang Xiaobai’s reply made Du Xiaoyu’s blood boil. In the end, the former grew tired of her mother’s long-winded speech and decisively hung up the call. After that, Jiang Xiaobai slowly propped herself on the edge of the bed while holding her phone before she lay back down on the bed.

Meanwhile, Du Xiaoyu could only hear a busy tone just when she was planning to continue persuading Jiang Xiaoyu. In that instant, her anger got the better of her as she complained about her daughter to her husband, “Look at your daughter. It’s all your fault for spoiling her. Now, she won’t even listen to me. Which couple doesn’t match their horoscopes before getting married?” Soon, Jiang Yanke, who was sitting opposite her, faked a cough and said, “We didn’t.”

Upon hearing her husband, Du Xiaoyu expressed her objection by blinking her eyes at him. “Yes, we did.”

“We did?” Jiang Yanke sounded surprised, as if he didn’t know anything at all. “When did that happen? I thought we agreed that we were not going to match our horoscopes back then.” Du Xiaoyu appeared gloomy while putting her phone down on the table. “It was my mother who did it behind our backs. Like Xiaobai, I didn’t want to let her know my horoscope, but she somehow found out about it and went to match our horoscopes. Then, she came back to me and told me that we were a perfect match.”

A joyful smile appeared on Jiang Yanke’s face when he heard these two words—‘perfect match’. “A perfect match? But what if it turned out that our horoscopes didn’t match? Wouldn’t you marry me?”

“Why did you bring up the past?” Du Xiaoyu glared at the man and said in an abrasive tone, “Are you asking for trouble? Back then, I swore to be with you no matter what.” Upon noticing his wife’s angry look, Jiang Yanke didn’t dare to annoy her any further. Therefore, he tried to appease her irritation and said, “Take it easy, Xiaoyu. I was just asking because I was surprised. Furthermore, I think we should respect Xiaobai’s wish if she doesn’t want it. We didn’t want to match our horoscopes either back then.”

“But we did it in the end, didn’t we? It’s fine if she doesn’t want to do it. I’ll do it for her.” Du Xiaoyu finally understood the rationale of her mother’s action. I guess we never stop learning as we grow older. People change and see different needs at different stages in life. What we used to think was important when we were young may no longer be the same now. Similarly, what is important to us now may not seem the same way once we reach middle age. Back then, Du Xiaoyu didn’t understand why her mother interfered in her relationship until she became a mother herself. After all, she was doing it for her daughter just like how her mother did it for her.

I’m just worried for Xiaobai’s future, but I guess I need to give her some space. So, I think I’ll take care of it without letting her know no matter how it ends up. Not long after, Du Xiaoyu found the contact of Xiao Su’s mother and gave her a call. I doubt matching horoscopes will take long. All we need is a fortune teller to do the job. Although this is deemed to be superstitious considering the era of science and technology we’re living in, I suppose some things are better done the old-fashioned way.

Soon, Du Xiaoyu and Liang Yahe paid a visit to a fortune teller together. “I heard from our neighbors that there is one fortune teller who is known for predicting the future accurately. Let’s pay him a visit. Maybe he’ll help us predict a good future for our children.” Liang Yahe said with a smile while walking in the alley with Du Xiaoyu. She then pointed forward and said, “We’re almost there.” At the end of the alley stood a small shack with its wooden door left ajar. Inside the structure sat a crippled man who was serving his customers who happened to leave just in time. Therefore, it was their turn to consult the fortune teller.

As soon as the two ladies sat down, the crippled man’s assistant asked, “How can we help you, ladies?” Liang Yahe then gave the man a piece of paper with details of her son’s horoscope written on it. “We’d like you to help us predict the marriages of our children.” Du Xiaoyu followed suit upon hearing that, giving the written details of her daughter’s horoscope to the fortune teller.

The crippled man’s assistant took the papers and handed them over to him. Somehow, Du Xiaoyu began to feel nervous as she worriedly clasped her hands. Upon noticing her anxiety, Liang Yahe said with a smile, “Relax! Xiaobai and Xiao Su will make a perfect match!”

“Yeah, that’s right.” After taking a look at the horoscopes, the fortune teller closed his eyes and started to do his job. Soon, silence reigned the environment so much that Du Xiaoyu could even hear her own heartbeat. Deep down, she had a bad feeling that she couldn’t explain herself. While the fortune teller was still not done, Du Xiaoyu felt worried sick. Then, he opened his eyes just when she was about to rise from her seat and told him they would leave.

He then gazed at the ladies and asked, “You want me to predict their marriage, right?” Liang Yahe nodded in response and answered, “That’s right, Master. How is it? They’re a perfect match, aren’t they?”

The fortune teller didn’t say a word, but only shot a gaze at Du Xiaoyu, which unnerved her even more. She could only hold her breath silently at the moment. Why does he look like that? Don’t tell me the result is bad. But how should I ask him? Soon, Liang Yahe noticed her worried expression, whereupon she hesitated shortly before asking, “Master, how is it?”

“I wouldn’t advise them to tie the knot.”

“Both of their horoscopes don’t match. Their auras are even hostile to each other. If they get married, they’ll end up getting separated anyway,” The fortune teller said with a serious voice, as if there was nothing they could do to remedy the situation. For a while, Liang Yahe and Du Xiaoyu paused emotionlessly without showing any response. “Master, is this true? Both of them are rather close to each other. So, how could this be true? Could there be a mistake?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1470

Upon hearing that, the fortune teller gazed at Liang Yahe and gave her the paper with written details. “Please confirm whether your details written here are correct.” The two ladies received the papers and took a look at the horoscopes of their son and daughter. After making sure they were correct, they responded to the man with silence.

“Master, the details are indeed correct, but both of them are close. So, why will they still end up getting separated?” Liang Yahe was apparently not happy with the result, for she was very fond of Jiang Xiaobai and really wished she could be her daughter-in-law. Had I known this would happen, I wouldn’t have come here. The fortune teller looked at them in a stern manner and said, “If everything is correct, the result is final. Please don’t ask me any more questions.” After that, the two ladies could only pay before they left the place with a heavy heart.

As the two ladies left, Du Xiaoyu finally knew what her bad feeling was about. I can’t believe my sixth sense was this accurate. While walking in the quiet alley, Liang Yahe turned around and said to Du Xiaoyu in a serious manner, “Mrs. Jiang, that old man must have made some mistakes for sure. I say we shouldn’t trust him!” Upon hearing that, Du Xiaoyu consoled herself and Liang Yahe despite her dispiritedness. “Yes, you’re right. Actually, we shouldn’t be this superstitious because nobody believes horoscopes anymore in this modern era.”

“Exactly. I think we’re too superstitious as well. Even my relatives didn’t care about their horoscopes before they got married. Look at them now. Aren’t they living a good life anyway?” Du Xiaoyu added, “That’s right. Most importantly, the young people are happy with each other.” The two ladies kept trying to make themselves and each other feel better. Although they might look unconcerned from the exterior, they were bothered by the fortune teller’s prediction about the fate of their son and daughter, as if his words were etched on their minds.

Upon exiting the alley, they found themselves back on the busy street. While walking forward, the two ladies stopped in their tracks and looked at each other, whereupon Liang Yahe guiltily said with a soft voice, “Let’s go to another fortune teller. What do you say?” After hearing her reply, Du Xiaoyu let out a sigh, not expecting to hear her suggestion. Therefore, she nodded in agreement and said, “Sure, I think we should try seeing another fortune teller. That crippled man isn’t as good as we thought.”

“You’re right. He is definitely not that good. Let’s go to another fortune teller.” Then, the two ladies continued to seek a ‘second opinion’, only to get the same answer as the one they were previously told. When Liang Yahe heard the answer, her face twisted with anger as if she was on the verge of an outburst. By the time they returned to the hectic street, it was already afternoon. “It’s getting late. Let’s go grab something to eat. What do you say?”

“Yeah, sure.” After that, the two of them found a restaurant nearby and settled down there. However, when the waiter approached them and asked for their order, they couldn’t make up their mind. In the end, they said to each other, “Let’s just order something simple.” Therefore, they were served with the restaurant’s signature dish, but as they started to dig in, they seemed to have lost their appetite, only picking at the food in a bored fashion. Then, Du Xiaoyu wiped her mouth with a piece of tissue paper and gazed at Liang Yahe. “I think we should call it a day.”

Their previous visits to the fortune tellers had somehow put them both in awkward positions. Liang Yahe didn’t know what she could say, so she only nodded and replied, “Yup, let’s call it a day.”

“Great. Let’s keep what happened earlier today between the both of us. Our kids don’t have to know about it.”

Liang Yahe nodded and replied, “I agree. I don’t think it’s a good time to tell them either. After all, the two of them are really close. Furthermore, young people in this era don’t trust anything like horoscopes anymore. If they know that we went to see the fortune tellers, they’re probably going to pick on us.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Let’s go back for now.” After agreeing with each other, the two ladies parted in their own ways and headed home, while Jiang Xiaobai and Xiao Su were kept in the dark about what their mothers did and the answers they found from their visits.

Meanwhile, Xu Yanwan was about to return the company to Han Qing because she felt too ashamed to accept any more financial aid from him to bring Xu Group back on its feet. Nevertheless, Lin Xuzheng subsequently came to dissuade her from acting on her impulse. After all, the Xu Group and the Han Group had always been on good terms. This time, it was no surprise that Han Qing was lending a helping hand for the sake of the Xu Group. As the only daughter in the Xu family, Xu Yanwan was expected to shoulder the responsibility.

Upon noticing Xu Yanwan’s reluctance, Lin Xuzheng decided to pull no punches. “What’s holding you back? Do you really want to see the Xu Family fall apart? Or do you want it to vanish from sight forever just like the He Group? Because that will be the consequence for acting on your impulse. Are you sure that’s what you want?” In the end, Lin Xuzheng managed to convince Xu Yanwan.

“Everything He Lianjing has done may seem to be linked to you, but in fact, he did them all for you. Nonetheless, he could only blame his cruel nature for doing something so horrible. Jealousy and anger are normal emotions that we human beings have. Nobody can get away with that, although we all have different things to be jealous or envious of. However, we must take control of our emotions in order to do the right thing because that’s our duty.”

While Lin Xuzheng was telling Xu Yanwan his wise words like an elder brother, the young lady looked at him and thought about those times when he was alone. She then suddenly called out to him, “Xuzheng.” Her tone sounded unusually different, which caused Lin Xuzheng to pause what he was doing and gaze at her. “What’s the matter?”

“Thank you.” Xu Yanwan sincerely thanked him because she didn’t expect anyone who was still willing to tell her those wise words at this time. She felt as if there was a heavy load on her chest until she heard Lin Xuzheng’s advice.

Lin Xuzheng looked at her in a serious manner. “Why are you thanking me? You should thank yourself for making the right decision so that you won’t regret it later on. Anyway, I’ve watched you grow up since you were a kid, and I believe you’re a good person deep down. By the way, have you visited Xiaoyan ever since she was discharged from the hospital?” Upon hearing the man’s question, Xu Yanwan paused briefly and shook her head. “Nope, I haven’t.”

“Pay her a visit whenever possible. I know you both can put aside your differences and become best friends, instead of acting like strangers to each other.”

Best friends? Xu Yanwan appeared a little hesitant, wondering if both of them could really be best friends. Suddenly, she recalled a conversation that she had with Yan when they were in the café. At that moment, the latter’s attitude seemed rather friendly when she told Xu Yanwan something. “If you really want to apologize, then do it from the bottom of your heart.”
