Quick Wear: When the Affectionate Male Supporting Character Gets the Script of a Cool Stories

When Jiang Xu found the place, his future father-in-law and future son-in-law were fighting each other in the courtyard. There was no smoke of gunpowder, but the tit-for-tat atmosphere was very strong.

Helan Jue quickly noticed his presence, and his brows softened for a moment when he raised his eyes.

Jiang Xu restrained his steps and did not walk to Helan Jue. He stood behind Jiang Zhili and took a look at the chessboard. The black and white pieces were entangled and evenly matched.

He didn't study Go much, so he could only see the general situation but couldn't see any brilliant moves.

Helan Jue holds the white piece and Jiang Zhili holds the black piece.

After playing two more moves, Helan Jue took out two white pieces from the chess box and placed them on the chessboard, smiling slightly: "I lost."

Jiang Xu counted and found that Helan Jue only lost half a point.

Jiang Zhili won a narrow victory.

But Jiang Xu always felt that Helan Jue was playing the pig to eat the tiger. He exchanged glances with Helan Jue and said with a smile: "It seems that the prince doesn't know everything."

"Xu'er." Jiang Zhili warned, "Don't be rude."

Being unhappy with Helan Jue's secret affair with his son is one thing, but being polite and courteous to save face is another.

What's more, after the conversation just now, he now has a new opinion of Helan Jue.

This person is even more unfathomable and scheming than he had imagined. If such a person has evil intentions, Jiang Zhili would never deal with him.

Words may be able to disguise and deceive, but chess cannot. A chess game can reveal a person’s character.

"No problem." Helan Jue said, looking at Jiang Xu with a faint and gentle smile in his eyes: "The young master has a very straightforward temperament."

Jiang Xu glanced at Jiang Zhili, who still didn't look very happy and looked helpless. He understood and the corners of his lips rose a little.

Duke Jiang simply couldn't bear to watch. He could now fully understand how his father-in-law felt when he visited him.

There should be no father-in-law in this world who likes his son-in-law, let alone he is a son-in-law.

As soon as he saw this, he knew that his son was being taken advantage of by Helan Jue. He guessed that this must have happened when Jiang Xu went out frequently during this period.

Jiang Zhili stood up, choosing to turn a blind eye and keep his heart at peace, and said to Jiang Xu: "I'll go see your mother, you can do whatever you want."

So casual? Jiang Xu looked at Helan Jue in surprise. What did he say that made his father, who was so resistant before, feel free to let him wander around?

Jiang Zhili couldn't help it. "You can say it's casual, but you should also be careful not to touch or grope in public."

As he spoke, he glanced at Helan Jue, and the warning from his father-in-law was very obvious.

Jiang Xu just wanted to laugh. His father had no idea that he was the one who was more likely to touch Helan Jue when he was with him, although Helan Jue would turn around and bully him back when he could no longer bear it.

After watching Duke Jiang walk away, Jiang Xu immediately sat down opposite Helan Jue, his face full of curiosity: "What did you say to my father that made him give in so quickly."

Helan Jue raised his eyes to look at him, and slowly picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard, "I said I would ask you to marry me."

"Hmm?" Jiang Xu didn't believe it. "Is it that simple?"

Helan Jue thought about it, and then said seriously: "I will take good care of you."

In fact, there is much more to it than that, but there are some things that he has no burden to say to others. But when facing Jiang Xu's eyes that are as bright as peach blossoms, he can't say anything.

If you have to give a reason, it's probably because he's too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Helan Jue lowered his eyes and smiled silently. In the past, he would never associate himself with the emotion of embarrassment.

Not long ago, Duke Jiang asked him, "Although the King of Dingbei has retired to the palace, the world still remembers his glorious medals and unparalleled military achievements. My son is ashamed to say that he was not in good health when he was young and developed a lot of bad habits.

Even so, I don't think that my son is unworthy of a person like you, King Dingbei. I only care about whether he is safe and happy, so there are some things I won't hide. I just want to ask Your Majesty one question.

Are you with Jiang Xu just for the sake of temporary pleasure, or because of his status?"

Jiang Zhili's suspicions were not groundless. Helan Jue was a member of the royal family after all. Before he got off his horse, he was a person second only to the emperor.

Who can guarantee that they can calmly accept such a huge gap in their lives and not want to return to their peak moments?

Healthy people like the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince would do this for money and power. He didn't know Helan Jue well, so it was hard not to suspect him.

Helan Jue could guess and understand in his heart that it would be strange if Jiang Zhili did not care about Jiang Xu's lifelong affairs.

He answered almost without hesitation: "I only want Ashu."

Duke Jiang smiled, "Anyone can say nice things, but why should Your Majesty believe me? Xu'er may be spoiled and not very sensible, but she is a kind-hearted child. Once she likes someone, she will treat them with all her heart, just like this wheelchair under Your Majesty's seat."

"I have never seen Xu'er do these rough jobs. Even when he said he liked His Royal Highness, he never did anything by himself. He is willing to do these for you. I think he likes you very much, even more than His Royal Highness."

Although they were in a confrontation, Helan Jue felt happy in his heart when he heard these words, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I know what the Duke is worried about. I have thought about this question many times before I came here. How can I make you trust me? I cannot open my heart to show you whether it is black or red. I can only speak out what is in my heart."

"I have no interest in imperial power. If possible, I would like to take Ah Xu away from the capital, a place of trouble, and find a place with mountains and rivers to live in peace. But the current situation prevents me from doing so."

Jiang Zhili raised his voice and said, "Your Highness, do you still want to get involved?"

"The current situation is uncertain. Changes in the court affect millions of people. I used to fight in the battlefields to protect the peace of the Southern Dynasty. Although I am no longer the King of Dingbei, I cannot just ignore someone who is causing chaos in the court."

At this point, Helan Jue's eyes turned cold, and the calm aura around him, which was as gentle as water, turned cold and fierce for a moment, making people seem to see the decisive and murderous King Dingbei again.

The recent farce caused by the dispute between the two princes in the court was known to Jiang Zhili, a businessman. At this moment, he couldn't help but agree with Helan Jue's words.

Putting aside personal matters, his attitude towards Helan Jue was actually admiration.

Even though this proud son of heaven had fallen to this point, he had no resentment towards the political situation in his heart. He only cared about the safety of the people of the Southern Dynasty.

A gentleman stands between heaven and earth, and this is how it should be!

After his admiration, Jiang Zhili regained his senses: "Since the court and the world have a place in your heart, what about Xu'er? How much does he occupy in your heart?"

He identifies with Helan Jue, but he is a father first.

If there ever comes a day when the world is in chaos, he would not mind spending all his wealth, but he must ensure the safety of his wife and children.

"Your Highness, since you can see the situation clearly, you must know that both the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are interested in Xu'er. It seems that they are fighting for Xu'er, but in fact, they are fighting for the financial resources of the Duke of Jiang's Mansion behind him. What role does Your Highness play?"

"If you are not after the Duke's Mansion, how are you going to protect him?"
