Chapter 30
Jiang Yexun was startled and quickly pressed her head down. In her displeased gaze, he cleared his throat.
“Behave! We’re in public, what if someone sees us?” He pretended to be serious.
However, his hand hanging at his side had already clenched into a fist, even the veins were popping out. He struggled to refrain from pulling the young girl closer.
Su Xiaoxiao felt his breath enveloping her, especially his strong hand gripping her shoulder. Through the thin fabric of their clothes, the warmth of his palm made her body react strangely, like a volcano about to erupt. She could even hear her own heart pounding rapidly.
However, Su Xiaoxiao was also worried about someone passing by and seeing them too intimately, or worse, that Jiang Yexun might notice her unusual reaction. She bit her lower lip and gradually moved her small feet in the direction away from Jiang Yexun.
Jiang Yexun was finding it hard to control himself, so he gazed firmly at something else.
“Alright, are you satisfied now?” The annoyed voice of the little educated youth sounded.
Only then did Jiang Yexun turn his head back, and he saw that they were now separated by more than a meter, almost two meters apart.
“Is it necessary to move so far?” He couldn’t help but laugh at the stubbornness of the little educated youth, feeling amused. He wanted to grab her and pull her into his arms to give her a teasing nibble.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded seriously. “It’s very necessary.”
This was the result of her recent testing, done little by little. As long as they were within one meter of each other, Jiang Yexun’s presence would fill all her senses, making it hard for her to resist. If they were more than one meter apart and made even a slight move, she could extend a finger into the range and immediately feel a reaction. So, for safety’s sake, a distance of more than one and a half meters was the safest option.
Jiang Yexun looked at her and licked his upper canine tooth. Fine! This heartless little thing wouldn’t get any more hugs from him in the future.
“I’ve thought about it carefully. Those two guys won’t learn their lesson, and I can’t control my temper. So, the best solution is for me to move out,” Su Xiaoxiao said, sounding triumphant, as if she had come up with an ingenious plan.
What mattered most was that this life was different from the last one. She had shown so much enthusiasm for marrying Jiang Yexun that Pan Yongsheng might get desperate. If he dared to do anything, she would definitely be at a disadvantage in terms of strength. And who could guard against all potential dangers? It was safer to stay close to Jiang Yexun.
However, Jiang Yexun’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed with a sharp, dagger-like glare. “No,” he firmly refused.
Although people in the production team were afraid of him, there were always some daredevils. Besides, the little educated youth was so beautiful. If she lived alone, what if someone trespassed in her yard or broke into her house?
“What if I move in with you?” Su Xiaoxiao asked softly.
Jiang Yexun’s entire body was suddenly on fire, and he involuntarily crossed his legs, trying to suppress his desires before he replied in a half-strangled voice, “No, we agreed that we won’t get married after we meet your parents and have their approval.”
“Who said we’re getting married?” Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.
This statement instantly set Jiang Yexun off.
“No marriage, no living together!” he declared firmly.
“Dream on!” Su Xiaoxiao retorted with a blush. “I meant building a small courtyard next to your house. After we get married, we can tear down the wall between the courtyards.”
Jiang Yexun stiffened, and the words she had just spoken were like heavenly music to his ears. He cleared his throat and regained his composure after some time.
“Alright, I’ll go talk to my father about it later.”
“Or maybe I should talk to him instead. After all, it’s me who wants to build a house. If you go talk to him, your eldest brother and second brother will probably think you want to get married and build a new house. I heard that when they got married, your family didn’t build a new house for them. Who knows what trouble they’ll cause,” Su Xiaoxiao said, her tone full of disdain but her gaze filled with a hint of a smile.
“You don’t need to worry about them,” Jiang Yexun said, his face darkening at the thought of his family members. However, Su Xiaoxiao’s bright and innocent eyes, staring directly at him, softened his heart.
“I’m going to marry into the Jiang family, so how can I not care? Besides, if I’m moving out of the educated youth dormitory and building a house close to yours, I should at least bring something to your father. I have some tea and cigarettes here. My father gave them to me before I came here, saying I could use them to ask for help if I encountered any difficulties on the production team. It’s convenient to have them now, so I won’t have to keep them in my trunk and worry about them going bad.”
In her previous life, it was Jinag Yexun and his mother who went head-to-head with the members of the Jiang family. His mother passed away not long after she died, and his sister had severed ties with him and hadn’t been in contact for years.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know what had happened during those two years, but she was certain that there were hidden secrets in Aunt Guo’s death. Since she was standing on Jiang Yexun’s side this time, it was necessary to proactively deal with the Jiang family’s hidden snakes and ghosts.
“He’s going to be your future father-in-law. There’s no need to bring gifts,” Jiang Yexun replied, trying to keep his voice steady.
However, the depths of his eyes, dark and intense, remained locked on Su Xiaoxiao. It felt as if he were being watched by a beast, making her shiver slightly.
Su Xiaoxiao straightened her back and asked with a feigned indifferent tone, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Are you trying to distance yourself from me?” Jiang Yexun asked, suppressing the coldness in his voice, so as not to frighten the young girl in front of him.
