Jiang Xue looked at Cheng Li, at her concerned expression. If she hadn’t witnessed her cruelty and cold-blooded side, she would still, as in her past life, think Cheng Li genuinely cared for her.
"I’m fine!" Jiang Xue nodded slightly, her gaze not lingering on Cheng Li for too long, fearing she might not be able to restrain her emotions.
"Little Xue, what’s wrong? You don’t seem very happy?" Cheng Li looked at Jiang Xue and cautiously asked. They had been friends for over a decade, and she knew Jiang Xue better than Jiang Xue knew herself.
Even though they had only been together for less than a minute, she could sense sothing was off with Jiang Xue’s mood. Moreover, she couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but she felt like Jiang Xue didn’t really want to see her.
Why?
"It’s nothing, I’m just a bit tired. If you don’t have anything important, you should go back first." Jiang Xue said flatly, lowering her head slightly, concealing the irritation and hatred in her eyes.
"Little Xue, you?" Cheng Li was stunned, looking at Jiang Xue, feeling more and more that sothing was different about her today. Before, Jiang Xue would never tell her to leave. Because, in Jiang Xue’s heart, she was the most important person.
Her position in Jiang Xue’s heart even exceeded that of Jiang Xue’s parents. Jiang Xue wouldn’t listen to her parents, but to her, she was obedient.
Whatever she said, Jiang Xue believed.
But today, they hadn’t even exchanged a couple of sentences, and she was already told to leave. What had happened?
Could it be that soone said sothing in front of Jiang Xue?
Quickly, Cheng Li dismissed that thought. Besides her, Jiang Xue barely had any friends. And if she wouldn’t listen to her parents, how could she listen to others?
Thinking this, Cheng Li felt relieved, then looked at Jiang Xue with a face full of grievance.
Unexpectedly, she wallowed in her grievance for a long ti, but Jiang Xue didn’t even glance at her. Seeing Jiang Xue not looking her way, Cheng Li felt disappointed and also an increasing sense of resentnt and unwillingness within her.
She ca to see Jiang Xue today with a purpose in mind, and leaving without achieving it wasn’t her style.
Therefore, despite her anger, Cheng Li didn’t leave. Instead, she suppressed her emotions and reached out towards Jiang Xue’s head.
While touching her head, she said, "Little Xue, are you sick or not feeling well?"
However, before her hand could reach her head, Jiang Xue turned her head away, saying, "I’m fine."
"Really fine?" Cheng Li obviously didn’t believe it. Today’s Jiang Xue clearly seed a bit off.
"Really fine." Jiang Xue’s tone was clearly a bit impatient. She really didn’t want to stay around Cheng Li for too long. She feared she might lose control and question her, asking why she wanted to kill her, why she wanted to kill Mu Qiancheng.
But it’s obvious; now wasn’t the ti. Besides, even if she asked, Cheng Li surely wouldn’t tell her. So, this matter needed to be approached slowly.
"Okay if you’re fine." Cheng Li awkwardly retracted her hand, shifting her gaze from Jiang Xue’s face to the sleeping child beside her.
Looking at that tender child, Cheng Li couldn’t bring herself to like it. Because it was Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng’s child, not...
Hatred flashed in Cheng Li’s eyes, yet her face showed nothing, as she said, "Little Xue, your child is really beautiful, looks like Qian Cheng."
Actually, such a small child, how could one tell who they resemble? The reason Cheng Li said this was simply to upset Jiang Xue.
