Chapter 955: Chapter 956: Middle-aged Meng Xinian Chapter 955: Chapter 956: Middle-aged Meng Xinian Bluff, a big bluff.
Shameless, truly shameless!
She rolled her eyes at him.
Meng Xinianâs lips quirked up, he walked towards her, crouched down in front of her, and looked at her, âLittle, Iâm going to sleep now, how about you?â
âYou sleep on the floor!â
Chiang Xiao always felt something was off, hadnât they not even started dating?
Hadnât he even started pursuing her?
It seemed like from the start, they were engaged, and then somehow, it had led to this step of sharing a bed, wasnât it too fast?
Meng Xinian gazed intently at her, âI like you, Chiang Xiaoxiao.â
Chiang Xiaoâs heart gave a fierce thump.
Just moments ago, she was pondering over the fact that he hadnât pursued her, that they hadnât dated, and then he came out with such a statement, was this a confession?
She looked at him.
Meng Xinian took her hands into his own, kissed her fingertips, and with a voice low and husky with a hint of sexiness, said, âI like you more than you like me. A lot. So much so that every time I see you, this place starts to ache.â He pulled her hand to rest it over his heart.
Chiang Xiao could feel his heartbeat.
Forceful, thumping, thumping.
âChiang Xiaoxiao, Iâve set my eyes on you for a lifetime, if I canât marry you, Iâd rather live alone forever.â
Chiang Xiao stared at him dumbfounded.
Listening to his words, she didnât know why, but a scene slowly emerged in her mind.
A middle-aged man sitting in a wheelchair was leaning over his desk writing.
There were strands of white in his hair, but his profile was still exceptionally handsome.
The vast study room was empty but for him.
The whole room was filled with an atmosphere of solitude.
She recognized him, that was Meng Xinian.
Meng Xinian in his middle age.
Chiang Xiaoâs heart skipped a beat.
Could that be Meng Xinian from a past life?
Had his legs become disabled?
Was he still alone in his middle age?
âLittle, Iâve never had this feeling before, the feeling of wanting to spend a lifetime with a woman, apart from you, I canât imagine myself being with any other woman, it can only be you.â
With other women, he couldnât even bear the thought of it.
Perhaps it was for this reason that he looked down on Meng Chaojun even more, why was he with his mother back then, and now he could be with Duan Qingqing like that?
âYou too, it can only be me.â
One second he was deeply confessing his love, the next second, Tyrant Meng was back. âYouâre mine in this lifetime, can only be mine, no matter how good other men are, you are not allowed to spare them a second glance.â
The scene in Chiang Xiaoâs mind vanished in a whoosh.
Before her was the spirited and unimaginably handsome young Meng Xinian again.
âDomineering,â she muttered quietly.
âHmm?â
Meng Xinian suddenly picked her up, Chiang Xiao almost cried out in surprise, but remembering her grandparents might hear her, she immediately covered her mouth.
Meng Xinian saw her eyes wide with accusation and couldnât help chuckling softly, âIâm really tired, Iâve been wanting to sleep since morning.â
He hadnât slept for three days.
Chiang Xiao, who had just been resenting her grandparentsâ soft-heartedness, felt her own heart soften upon hearing his words.
âIâll really just hold you to sleep, wonât do anything else, do you believe me?â Meng Xinian laid her down on the bed and climbed in next to her.
âI donât believe you,â Chiang Xiaoâs voice was very low.
The moment he lay down, she became instantly tense.
She clutched the blanket tightly around her, leaving only her head exposed, like an adorably flipped kitten, her eyes following him.
