Zhengyangmen: I refuse to be a bootlicker, Su Meng panicked

Fortunately, there was nothing going on between Jiang Xiaoxi and me. If there really was something going on, wouldn't Guan Xiaoguan have eaten it up?

"Okay." After getting Guan Xiaoguan's consent, Han Chunming picked up the chopsticks and took a symbolic bite.

Jiang Xiaoxi's expression was extremely grim. Even Han Chunming listened to Guan Xiaoguan. Did this mean that he had no chance?

Jiang Xu, who was standing by, naturally noticed his granddaughter's predicament at the moment, and immediately patted Jiang Xiaoxi's hand gently as a way of comforting her.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Han Chunming was completely devoted to Guan Xiaoguan, and it would not be easy for others to intervene.

Although Jiang Xu is also optimistic about Han Chunming, it is a shame to let his granddaughter bear the burden.

Being branded as a third party and still not getting what he wants is not what he wants.

"Mr. Han and Miss Guan are a perfect match. I wonder how they will hold their wedding banquet? Xiaoxi and I can give them a big gift." Jiang Xu said with a smile.

This statement made Jiang Xiaoxi's stance clear, meaning that she would not snatch Han Chunming away, and asked Guan Xiaoguan not to target Jiang Xiaoxi too much.

Jiang Xiaoxi looked at her grandfather in disbelief. Didn't the old man support her originally? Now it seems that he doesn't support her anymore?

Jiang Xu gave Jiang Xiaoxi a reassuring look, meaning that she should stop being so stubborn and give up when it was time to do so.

Given her granddaughter's looks and knowledge, is she still worried about not being able to find a suitable husband?

Of course Jiang Xiaoxi understood what Jiang Xu meant. She bit her lip, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Guan Xiaoguan on the other side suddenly blushed, glanced at Han Chunming and said nothing.

"Brother, you have to notify me when you and sister-in-law do something. I must be there!" Tang Tongtong also joined in the jokes.

Don't look at her small age, she is still a woman, she understands these things very well!

"Little girl, why are you everywhere?" Han Chun understood Tang Tongtong at a glance. "Xiao Guan and I will hurry up on this matter. We're just busy with work right now. We'll definitely let everyone know when we get to the point!"

These words livened up the atmosphere at the dinner table. Even Zhuang Mo said, "On Mr. Han's wedding day, I, an old man, will definitely give him a big gift."

Han Chunming helped him restore his late wife's posthumous work, so of course he wanted to express his gratitude.

In this way, the meal lasted until dark.

Han Chunming naturally sent Guan Xiaoguan back, while Zhuang Mo and his disciples took Tang Tongtong and rushed back to Tianjin overnight.

"Brother Chunming!"

Before Han Chunming and Guan Xiaoguan left, Jiang Xiaoxi's voice came from behind them.

Han Chunming turned around and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

"Brother Chunming, I want to talk to you." Jiang Xiaoxi looked at Han Chunming with sincerity in her eyes, as if she really had a thousand words to say to Han Chunming.

"This..." Han Chunming looked at Guan Xiaoguan beside him again.

Knowing that the two women are rivals in love, it is not good to talk to other women alone in front of Guan Xiaoguan.

"Go ahead. I believe you can handle it. Just be careful and know when to stop."

How could Xiaoguan not see what Han Chunming meant? He said it frankly.

It's not that she is so magnanimous, but she really believes that Han Chunming is not the kind of person who changes his mind frequently, so she is willing to let Han Chunming talk to Jiang Xiaoxi.

"Okay, then you wait for me in the car, I'll be back soon." Han Chunming smiled as he reached out and gently pinched Guan Xiaoguan's cheek.

I really did not choose the wrong person. This lovely little woman really understands me the best.

Jiang Xiaoxi, who saw the whole scene, felt very uncomfortable. She finally understood that she really had no chance.

If that's the case, then I'll make a clean break today, and put an end to my ignorant feelings...

"Poor little girl..." Cai Xiaoli also saw this scene not far away and couldn't help but sigh.

I used to be as foolish as that girl, but now I have finally come out of it and put my whole heart into my work...

Yanjing at night is as bright as day, and it still looks particularly prosperous under the illumination of street lights.

Han Chunming and Jiang Xiaoxi walked side by side, their steps very slowly, but no one spoke.

Jiang Xiaoxi looked at the man beside her nervously, then wondered why he had been reluctant to speak.

Han Chunming didn't say anything because he had nothing to say to Jiang Xiaoxi.

In the past, perhaps the two of them could still chat about antiques and appreciation, but in this atmosphere, Han Chunming really had nothing to say.

Since that was the case, he simply kept silent and waited for Jiang Xiaoxi to speak.

"Brother Chunming..."

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Xiaoxi finally spoke. "Um...how long have you known Miss Guan?"

Biting her lip, Jiang Xiaoxi seemed a little regretful for asking this question.

At this point, we should get straight to the point. Why are we still asking about the relationship history of these two people?

"Xiao Guan and I grew up together." Han Chunming's face lit up with tenderness when he mentioned this. "She's my master's granddaughter, so we've known each other since we were little. Later, she went abroad, and when she came back, we established a relationship."

After hearing Han Chunming's simple words, Jiang Xiaoxi felt even more uncomfortable.

It turns out that they have been friends since childhood, so how can an outsider like me get involved?

However, she was still a little unwilling to give up. She stood still and looked up at Han Chunming: "Brother Chunming, I have a few questions to ask you. I hope you can answer me honestly."

Han Chunming also stopped and turned to look at Jiang Xiaoxi directly, his face calm and composed. He said, "Okay, ask."

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xiaoxi said, "Brother Chunming, I want to ask you, if Miss Guan wasn't there, would you choose me?"

"Your if is not true." Han Chunming said without hesitation.

Although he was reborn, he was unwilling to admit this hypothetical question.

As for Guan Xiaoguan, Han Chunming can no longer imagine how monotonous his life would be without her.

Although his goal has always been to have his own career and live a different Han Chunming, emotional adjustment is also indispensable, otherwise he will not be a complete person.

Many people may enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by romantic interests, but Han Chunming is not like that.

Once you have chosen one person for your life, that person is you. As for other people, don't give them blind fantasies and hopes. Otherwise, it would be irresponsible to yourself and to the other person.

"You don't even want to give me a fantasy?" Jiang Xiaoxi felt like crying.

Her original plan was that as long as Han Chunming said "yes", she would go to Han Chunming without hesitation, even if there would be no result between them in this lifetime.

But Han Chunming's answer made her extremely disappointed, but also very appreciative, which showed that Han Chunming was a good man.

"Xiao Xi, since we met until now, I have always known that you are a good girl, and I have always regarded you as a lovely little sister, but I really can't give you anything else." Han Chunming said bluntly.

"But I don't want to be your sister!" Jiang Xiaoxi was a little excited.

"We can be friends even if we don't have to be sisters. If you can't even accept the identity of friends, then we can only be strangers." Han Chunming's eyes were firm and his tone was particularly calm.

He would never give anyone the wrong signal. He didn't want to get into trouble, and he didn't want to hurt Guan Xiaoguan.

Almost about to cry, Jiang Xiaoxi looked at Han Chunming with red eyes: "Are you... really so heartless?"

"It's not that I'm heartless, it's that I don't want to deceive you." Han Chunming said, "If I say I can, you will definitely continue to have fantasies, but you won't get anything from me, so wouldn't that be a waste of your time? You still have a lot of youth left, and you can still choose to be with someone else. There's really no need to waste your time on me."

After speaking very frankly, Han Chunming found that he felt inexplicably relieved.

Maybe I'm not bad at dealing with emotional matters, but I was just too shy to speak up before.

It’s good to say it now. Although it may make Jiang Xiaoxi sad for a while, it’s better than delaying her all the time.

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Xiaoxi nodded and wiped away the tears rolling down her face. "Brother Chunming, I will definitely let you go. You're right, I still have a lot of youth left in me, and I will definitely find a man who is better than you!"

"That's the right thing to think, but don't compromise yourself just because you're angry with me." Han Chunming smiled and wanted to raise his hand to rub Jiang Xiaoxi's head, but it didn't seem good to do so, so he put his hand down.

"Hmph! I won't let myself be wronged!" Jiang Xiaoxi was an open-minded girl. Even though she felt bad, she still smiled brightly. "Let's go. Let's go back now. Don't let my sister-in-law wait anxiously."

"Sister-in-law?" Han Chunming was slightly stunned. Is this girl calling Guan Xiaoguan sister-in-law so soon?"

When Han Chunming brought Jiang Xiaoxi over talking and laughing, Guan Xiaoguan thought that Han Chunming had already promised Jiang Xiaoxi something.

In other words, he chose the younger and cuter Jiang Xiaoxi as his other half.

Women are always like this, they like to fantasize. "Sister-in-law!"

But before Guan Xiaoguan could react, Jiang Xiaoxi had already run to Guan Xiaoguan, smiled and held Guan Xiaoguan's hand.

The word "sister-in-law" was so sincere that Guan Xiaoguan was a little dazed for a moment.

What is going on? "This..."

"Sister-in-law, if Brother Chunming bullies you in the future, just tell me and I will help you deal with him!" Jiang Xiaoxi said with a smile, her eyes full of laughter.

Guan Xiaoguan was also a smart girl. She immediately understood what Jiang Xiaoxi meant and smiled: "Okay, sister-in-law will also help Xiaoxi find a good man."

It seems that Han Chunming has already sorted out this complicated relationship very clearly. Just now, she was a little suspicious.

Thinking of this, Guan Xiaoguan turned around and looked at Han Chunming, his eyes full of affection.

Han Chunming also laughed. Fortunately, Jiang Xiaoxi wasn't the type to dwell on trivial matters, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do...

Later, Han Chunming took Guan Xiaoguan away.
