Chapter 701: Chapter 702: Thereās No Going with the Flow Chapter 701: Chapter 702: Thereās No Going with the Flow He sighed deeply.
From meeting Chiang Xiaoxiao in April to the upcoming October, why did he feel that the past half-year had gone by so slowly?
When would she finally grow up?
Listening to his sigh, Chiang Xiao intuitively understood what he meant and instantly became clear-headed.
Right, she hadnāt grown up yet, so what was the hurry?
Even if love was to happen, it was a matter for the future.
āBrother Xinian, where will you be staying tonight?ā
āDo you want to stay with me?ā Meng Xinian asked.
āNo,ā Chiang Xiao immediately shook her head. What kind of joke was that? Her thoughts tonight were definitely a bit off, with a mature soul housed in her little body, she did not want to be too close to him late at night, otherwise, she couldnāt be sure if she would end up flirting back with him.
What if she flirted too much?
At this age, itās better to take it easy.
Chiang Xiao tried hard to calm herself down.
āWhen I go back to the Capital, I usually stay at Chen Yinās house. But these days Chen Yin is on a business trip, and only his mother is at home, which isnāt very convenient. So, Iām planning to stay at a guesthouse, and you wonāt be able to stay with me either.ā
Chiang Xiao looked at him, suddenly feeling very sorry for him.
Just like earlier in the hospital when she saw him surrounded and attacked by people from the Fong Family.
He was naturally domineering, but even in Capital City, he had too many scruples.
He had to be considerate of Old Meng.
He couldnāt just fight back against those people from the Fong Family and Gao Family without any regard, at least not immediately.
And what about his father?
It was heard that Meng Chaojunās status was no lesser than Father Fong or Gaoās Father!
If his own father couldnāt protect him, what part of Capital City, aside from his grandfather, felt like home?
Even when he returned, he had a house but couldnāt return to it, a child raised in a large compound yet forced to live alone in a guesthouse.
Chiang Xiao couldnāt help asking, āBrother Xinian, you also had some money with you at the time. If you didnāt like Capital City, why didnāt you consider buying your own house in City M? You could then settle down in City M for good.ā
Why keep returning to Capital City, a place that hurt him so much?
Meng Xiās gaze became vacant for a moment before he spoke, āI like Capital City.ā
Chiang Xiao was slightly startled.
He continued, āThis city is where my mother was born and grew up. When I was little, she would take me running around the entire city, and our figures were in many alleys and lanes, so I like Capital City.ā He reached out and ruffled her hair, āMy affection for Capital City has never changed because of certain people; theyāre not worth it, nor do they deserve it. Xiaoxiao, do you like City M? But after I get married, I still hope to settle down in Capital City. Of course, if you really donāt like Capital City, we could live in City M.ā
Thinking so far ahead?
Chiang Xiao paused, then shook her head, āNo, I donāt have a preference for City M; Iām fine wherever.ā
As long as itās away from Peace Town, away from Siyang Village.
Going to Capital City is also fine. After all, those people will eventually come to Capital City.
Now, they werenāt in Capital City, but in a few years, they would all have to gather there.
Coming to Capital City was actually one of her plans.
āReally? Youāre willing to settle down in Capital City with me?ā Meng Xinian stared at her intently.
Chiang Xiao struggled to withstand his gaze.
What did he mean by settling down in Capital City with him?
āLetās just let things take their natural course,ā she said.
āLet nature take its course?ā Meng Xinian raised an eyebrow, possessively saying, āThereās no letting nature take its course. Weāll get married when you turn eighteen, thereās only this outcome.ā
