After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 433

Bai Xiaotu knew that Qin Jiang had come back.

In such a strange place, in such a strange environment, how could she have fallen asleep?

So she had tossed and turned until this point.

Then, she heard the sound of the door opening.

She sat up in bed.

Qin Jiang's face was clearly not good.

She could see it very clearly through the dim light.

He looked at Bai Xiaotu getting up, and also glanced over.

Hearing Bai Xiaotu ask softly, "You're back?"

"Did I wake you up?" Qin Jiang raised his brows.

"No." Bai Xiaotu quickly denied, "I haven't fallen asleep yet."

"Go to sleep, it's late."

"What about you?" Bai Xiaotu saw that Qin Jiang had a cigarette in his mouth and was walking towards the balcony outside.

"I'm going to get some fresh air, I'm a little drunk from drinking just now."

"Mr. Qin, don't you dislike sleeping in the same bed as me?" Bai Xiaotu asked.

Qin Jiang turned his head to look at her, and told her very honestly, "I've never slept in the same bed as a woman without having sex with her. To be honest, I feel very uncomfortable."

In Qin Jiang's mind, women were basically just for sleeping with.

Here, sleeping referred to the verb.

So he really didn't like having a woman lying in bed when he couldn't do anything.

Bai Xiaotu actually understood Qin Jiang a little bit too.

Many people in the entertainment industry had been involved with Qin Jiang. Qin Jiang was generous, and many people tried to get on his good side, so she had heard a little about the legends surrounding Qin Jiang, about how he could be very open towards women, but would never let any woman cling to him. That meant he would never get emotionally involved, just play around.

And now, Qin Jiang had been forced to marry her.

She didn't even need to think to know that Qin Jiang would have a very hard time accepting this.

She was always worried that Qin Jiang would take revenge on her.

But from the current situation, it seemed that Qin Jiang was still a reasonable person after all, and wouldn't make unreasonable demands.

Understanding this, she also sincerely wanted to get along well with Qin Jiang. Of course she didn't expect that they would spend their whole lives together. She just felt that for however long they were together, it would be best if they could get along peacefully. She actually never liked conflict with anyone since she was little.

She said, "I'll sleep on the couch, the couch in the room looks quite spacious. It'll be a perfect fit for me to sleep on."

"Fine." Qin Jiang said with some emotion, "If my dad finds out you're sleeping on the couch, I'll definitely get caned. Don't get me in trouble."

"Oh." Bai Xiaotu didn't say anything more.

She looked very obedient.

Qin Jiang looked at Bai Xiaotu's appearance.

The last time they'd had sex in the car, he seemed to not have gotten a clear look at this woman's face. Yesterday when she came to find him, she had quite thick makeup on. And today when they went to get the abortion, she also had a lot of makeup on. It seemed to only be at this moment that he finally saw this woman's true appearance.

She wasn't especially beautiful, but after all she was in the entertainment industry, so she was better looking than most people. At this moment without makeup, she still had some innocence, and her face clearly had some youthful elements.

His heart skipped a beat. Was this woman very young?!

He couldn't help but ask, "How old are you?"

Bai Xiaotu was startled. It seemed to only occur to her at this moment that she and Qin Jiang were truly strangers to each other.

They didn't know even the most basic things about each other.

She answered, "I'm 20 years old. At the legal age."

"20 years old? Didn't you go to university?" Qin Jiang frowned.

"Mm." Bai Xiaotu replied, still a little ashamed. She explained, "My grades in academic subjects were average. And I didn't have much interest in studying either. I wanted to take the entrance exam for acting school, but my family didn't agree - first, the tuition was too expensive and they wouldn't have been able to afford it. Second, they felt that we were all just ordinary common people, and it was impossible for me to make a name for myself in the entertainment industry, so they didn't support me taking the acting school entrance exam either. So I left home by myself after graduating high school to come to Qingcheng to try my luck. That was two years ago after I graduated high school. Up until now, other than a spokesperson contract I got from Chairman An previously, I haven't made any name for myself."

"Oh." Qin Jiang responded simply.

He didn't seem very interested.

Bai Xiaotu didn't say anything else about herself.

"Mr. Qin." Bai Xiaotu called him carefully again.

Qin Jiang felt like this woman seemed to be afraid of him?!

She always seemed timid and nervous around him.

"I'll try my best not to cause you any trouble." Bai Xiaotu said directly.

Qin Jiang didn't care either way.

He felt like most women wouldn't dare cause trouble for him anyway, so he was too lazy to threaten her further.

He said, "Go to sleep. I'll come back to bed when I'm tired."

"Okay." Bai Xiaotu nodded.

She looked very obedient.

Qin Jiang went out to the balcony.

The corners of his lips inexplicably curved up for a moment.

He didn't know what he was smiling about either.

His mind was just thinking - what kind of parents would give their child the name Bai Xiaotu? It's just a small variation from Xiaobaitu (Little White Rabbit)!

Speaking of which, Bai Xiaotu really did give him the impression of a delicate little white rabbit.

He was too lazy to ask if it was just a stage name.

In the end, the two of them would just separate anyway.

...

Ye Jinghuai only stayed in Qingcheng for two days in the end, leaving early in the morning of the third day.

Every time Ye Jinghuai left, it seemed to be early morning. Every time he would kiss her lips lightly and tenderly before reluctantly leaving.

And every time An Nuan woke up, the room would become empty.

Then he would leave a note behind.

"Be good and wait for me at home. - Love, Ye Jinghuai."

An Nuan looked at Ye Jinghuai's handwriting.

Beautiful penmanship.

Even though it was just simple words, it still warmed her heart.

"How cheesy," An Nuan murmured.

She wanted to shift her gaze away from the note.

After all, she had read it over and over countless times already.

If she kept looking, the day would probably pass just like that.

She couldn't even remember if she had experienced this kind of passion in her past life.

She was certain she had never missed Gu Yan Sheng as desperately as she missed Ye Jinghuai now.

At this moment, she even had the urge to call Ye Jinghuai and ask him to come back.

If she hadn't lived another life and gained more wisdom, she might have really done so recklessly.

Reluctantly, she put the note down, got out of bed to wash up and get dressed and put on makeup.

Downstairs, Steward Zhong saw that she was awake and hurriedly brought breakfast out, placing it on the dining table and standing respectfully to the side.

Seeing such a lavish breakfast, An Nuan felt a little dizzy.

Ye Jinghuai was already going to such efforts even though she wasn't pregnant yet... She couldn't even imagine how he would treat her like a priceless treasure if she did get pregnant.

It was frightening to think about.

Yet within that fear, there was an undeniable sweetness.

Everything Ye Jinghuai did for her made her feel blessed.
