Chapter 1237 - Xiao Xia and Xia Meng

Hearing this, the shop assistant was momentarily stunned.

She had dealt with many Second-generation rich guys who brought their female companions for shopping sprees.

But it was her first time seeing someone as decisive and generous as Jiang Cheng.

Before Xiao Xia could even refuse, Jiang Cheng had already taken out his bank card.

One could see that her face was currently full of an expression of heartache over the money.

Pulling Xiao Xia's wrist, Jiang Cheng spoke up and said, "It looks really good."

She looked at the red Alhambra bracelet in her hand.

Although she felt it was a loss, at this moment she couldn't bring herself to say it 'didn't look good' or that she 'didn't like it.'

The two of them walked out of the Van Cleef & Arpels store hand in hand.

Looking at the bag in her hand, which didn't feel very heavy, Xiao Xia said somewhat dazed, "In just this short while, I actually spent over six hundred thousand??"

This number had a huge impact on Xiao Xia, but for Jiang Cheng, it didn't cause even a ripple of concern.

Pinching the tip of Xiao Xia's nose, Jiang Cheng replied, "We're just getting started. Let's go."

Although she still found it somewhat incomprehensible,

Xiao Xia thoroughly enjoyed this sweet feeling of being pampered by Jiang Cheng.

However, this sweet feeling didn't manage to last for long.

Before they had even walked very far, Xiao Xia suddenly noticed that Jiang Cheng's expression had become a bit strange.

Following his gaze, Xiao Xia saw a Girl not far away wearing a JK uniform with a fluffy coat over it; she looked exceptionally soft, cute, and adorable.

That Girl was carrying a similarly fluffy handbag in her left hand, while her right hand held a cup of sweet milk tea.

And behind her, two boys were following closely.

From their dress and demeanor, they seemed to be young men with the appearance of university students.

At this moment, both of them were holding their phones, pushing and shoving each other with expressions that were both excited and nervous.

It looked as if they were hesitating over whether or not to go up and strike up a conversation with the Girl.

Perhaps the noise of their fooling around caught the Girl's attention.

Just as the Girl turned her head to glance at them twice, her gaze also seemed to spot Jiang Cheng behind her.

The moment their eyes met, it was obvious that her expression was also one of great surprise.

But she just stood there on the spot.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, she even proactively turned her back.

Seeing Xia Meng's panicked movements, Jiang Cheng suddenly wanted to smack his own head.

Well, well, well, the car has overturned.

He had thought that bringing Xiao Xia to popular spots like IFC or Plaza 66 would have a higher chance of running into other Girls.

So he came to the Kerry Centre in the nearby Jingan District.

He hadn't expected he would still run into Xia Meng here.

But on second thought, the residential area where Xia Meng lived was only nearly 10 kilometers away from this mall.

Although Xiao Xia didn't ask, based on the principle that one should say hello upon meeting,

Jiang Cheng laid his cards on the table with Xiao Xia directly: "The Girl in front is named Xia Meng. She is also one of my girlfriends. Do you want to go over and say hello?? If you don't want to, then we won't."

This situation was exactly the same as when he took Zhou Ying to eat hotpot and ran into Qiao Yinyin.

It was just that back then, he hadn't slept with Zhou Ying yet, and besides, the situation between Jiang Cheng and Zhou Ying was a bit different from the other Girls from the start...

However, these two Girls, Xia Meng and Xiao Xia, were different; from the very beginning, they were in a state of being honest and having no secrets from each other.

So there was nothing wrong with him asking like this.

Moreover, Xia Meng's favorability value toward him had already reached 99 points, reaching the state of Never Part Ways Until Death.

When Xiao Xia noticed Jiang Cheng's strange expression, an ominous premonition immediately welled up in her heart.

When Jiang Cheng told her without any concealment that the Girl ahead was indeed his other girlfriend, Xia Meng, Xiao Xia's expression instantly became incredibly panicked.

Her face first turned deathly pale in a flash, then quickly flushed bright red, like a ripe apple.

At the same time, her hands, which had been hanging naturally, involuntarily grabbed the corner of her clothes and gripped it tightly, so much so that deep and shallow wrinkles were rubbed into the fabric.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Xiao Xia took a deep breath.

As if she were cheering herself up,

Finally, she mustered all her courage and asked in a slightly trembling, soft voice, "Then... then will she... mind?"

A miraculous point was that her first thought wasn't one of jealousy.

At this moment, the panic deep in her heart stemmed more from the confusion and fear of not knowing how to face another woman by Jiang Cheng's side.

After all, she was never someone who was good at dealing with people.

Hearing this answer, Jiang Cheng immediately felt that things were stable.

He reached out, tightly grasped Xiao Xia's slightly cool little hand, and walked straight toward the direction where Xia Meng was.

By now, Xia Meng had already noticed Jiang Cheng was slowly walking toward her with Xiao Xia.

Her mood, which was already panicked because of this accidental encounter, tightened into a knot the moment she saw the two figures approaching, and her heartbeat accelerated sharply.

She subconsciously gripped the fluffy handbag in her hand; because she used too much force, her knuckles even began to turn white.

Within her beautiful eyes, there was currently an expression of being completely lost in panic.

Like a startled fawn, her gaze darted left and right, desperately wanting to find a safe corner where she could hide herself.

However, the more she was in this state of extreme tension, the more her legs seemed to be firmly nailed to the spot; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move an inch.

Glancing out of the corner of her eye as they drew near, Xia Meng's heart pounded violently as if it were about to burst through her chest.

She took several deep breaths, constantly cheering herself up in her heart and trying her best to prepare herself psychologically.

Before she could decide how to naturally ignore Jiang Cheng and Xiao Xia, Jiang Cheng's right hand had already draped over her shoulder.

Xia Meng's body suddenly stiffened, her eyes showing both panic and pleasant surprise.

Did Jiang Cheng's action mean she didn't need to hide??

Xia Meng turned her small head.

Her lips trembled slightly; she wanted to say something but was momentarily at a loss for words.

Forcing a slightly stiff smile, she said softly, "Hello to you both."

Jiang Cheng pinched Xia Meng's soft and cute cheek, saying to her with a natural expression, "This is Xiao Xia."

Compared to Xiao Xia, Xia Meng's personality was relatively more lively.

Moreover, from Jiang Cheng's actions and Xiao Xia's greeting, she already understood that there was no need for her to hide.

After Xia Meng took a look at Jiang Cheng, she proactively reached out her hand toward Xiao Xia: "Hello, my name is Xia Meng. I just heard him call you Xiao Xia, do you also have the surname Xia??"

When people are in an unfamiliar environment or communicating with strangers, they subconsciously move closer to people they are close to.

At this moment, just as Xia Meng had done when she spoke earlier, Xiao Xia also subconsciously looked at Jiang Cheng.

Then she replied, "Yes, my name is Xia Zhiqiu."
