She had been pushed out by Lin Wan. She couldn't just walk away in front of Jiang Xu, and she was at a loss for a moment.

Li Yue stood aside with her limbs stiff. Seeing Jiang Xu squatting down again and fiddling with the bracket in her hand, she tentatively asked: "Um... do you need help?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xu raised his eyes slightly and looked at her. After staring at her for a moment, he said "hmm".

After receiving his affirmative answer, Li Yue bit her lip, then turned and ran behind her.

She left suddenly, causing Jiang Xu to move his hands.

Li Yue trotted and quickly distanced herself from Jiang Xu behind her.

Jiang Xu pursed her lips, with no expression on her face.

He lowered his head and continued his work, but there was a faint look of displeasure in his slightly lowered eyes.

There was some emotion in his heart, so much so that Li Yue turned back again and put down a small bench, but he didn't notice it at all.

Seeing Jiang Xu's face darkened and showing no sign of paying attention to her, Li Yue hesitated for two seconds, then mustered up the courage and reminded her, "Sit down."

Her voice made Jiang Xu raise his head.

He was obviously stunned for a moment, and it took him a few seconds to react. He stood up slightly and sat down on the bench.

Li Yue let out a breath and sat down on another bench, and began to study the slightly messy parts piled on the ground in front of her.

She picked up the bracket with unfamiliar movements and awkwardly imitated Jiang Xu's example and started assembling it.

He seemed to be at ease, his movements smooth and beautiful.

Li Yue looked a little confused, so much so that Jiang Xu's side was almost finished, but she still couldn't figure it out.

Li Yue looked at the parts in his hand angrily, obviously very frustrated.

In the peripheral vision, Jiang Xu on the opposite side gradually stopped what he was doing.

The next second, Li Yue's hand felt cold, and Jiang Xu's fingertips touched hers.

His touch made Li Yue's movements stiffen uncontrollably.

Li Yue subconsciously buried her head lower, and when she noticed Jiang Xu approaching her, she quietly turned to the other side.

In just 2 minutes, she felt like she was suffering in hell.

Jiang Xu held her hand and led her to complete the assembly of parts bit by bit.

The parts that gave Li Yue a headache seemed to come to life when they fell into Jiang Xu's hands. He simply turned the shelf in her hands and assembled it easily.

"All right."

As soon as Jiang Xu let go, Li Yue stood up from the bench like a reflex.

Her movements were so big that one or two people not far away even turned their heads to look this way.

Realizing that he had overreacted, Li Yue was obviously a little embarrassed.She avoided Jiang Xu's sight, her face full of wanting to escape: "You're done here, so I'll leave first. I'll go see... if there's anyone who needs help over there."

"Li Yue."

There has never been a moment when Li Yue didn't like his name so much.

Jiang Xu's voice was very deep, and he seemed unhappy.

Unpleasant memories of getting along welled up uncontrollably in his mind, and Li Yue's spine stiffened.

She clearly remembered that in her last life, they had quarreled countless times over various issues.

His temper was too elusive, but Li Yue could sense every sign of his temper.So every time, she would hide whenever she could.

Although...I can't escape every time.

Li Yue stopped, still facing him with her back turned, but her voice couldn't stop shaking, "I, I'll go over there and have a look."

Familiar confusion and fear arose in her heart, and she could almost guess what she would face when she turned around, and she still refused to look back.

"You don't want to stay for a few more seconds?" Jiang Xu sneered, as if suppressing his temper, "It seems that I am indeed inferior to Gu Qingze in your heart."

Hearing Gu Qingze's name from his mouth again, Li Yue unconsciously tightened her fingertips.

She remained silent and heard Jiang Xu's sarcastic voice behind her.

"If you want to stay by my side for him and wait for the opportunity to bring down the Jiang family, then you must fulfill your responsibilities as a wife, otherwise..." As he spoke, Jiang Xu's voice got closer and closer, and then Li Yue felt herself being scooped up by his strong hand——

She was unsteady on her feet and fell into his arms.

His voice was as soft as an ambiguous whisper, but every word he spoke was sharp:

"How can I do what you want and be willing to hand over the entire Jiang family, as well as me, into your hands?"

Li Yue was stunned.

How much of what he said was true or false, she didn't know.All she knew was that she never seemed to have any secrets in front of him.

But, has he really thought about leaving the entire Jiang family and himself in her hands?

Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, struggling to get out of his arms.

This deadlock was quickly broken by Jiang Sirou who rushed out.

"Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Sirou's sweet voice was heard from far away. Li Yue didn't know where she got the strength to push Jiang Xu away.

She calmed down the wrinkles in her clothes as if nothing had happened, and looked away to force herself not to pay attention to Jiang Xu's dangerous gaze.

Jiang Sirou stumbled and rushed between the two of them, completely separating Li Yue and Jiang Xu as if by accident.

Jiang Sirou had really put a lot of thought into her outfit today. Li Yue felt a little ashamed of herself when she looked at the charming woman in front of her.

She was wearing a short halter-neck dress, with a large area of ​​skin exposed to the air behind. The front was equally beautiful, with white legs under the skirt. It didn't look like she was going to an outdoor barbecue, but more like going to the beach to take artistic photos. of.

Even Li Yue looked away uncomfortably.

Her clothes were already thin, either intentionally or unintentionally, and had been soaked in large areas by water, clinging to her body and outlining her looming body curves.

Seeing Jiang Sirou trying to stick to Jiang Xu like an octopus, Li Yue coughed lightly and consciously made room for her: "Mr. Jiang, if you have something to do, I'll leave first."

"Li Yue!"

After she hurriedly walked several steps, Jiang Xu's angry voice suddenly sounded.

Seeing that she hadn't stopped, Jiang Xu suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and spoke again in a serious tone: "Do you dare to try walking?"

His cold eyes stared at Li Yue's back for a moment, as if he wanted to see through her whole body.

Jiang Sirou was obviously frightened by him. She shrank, but still had the courage to hook Jiang Xu's arm, "Mr. Jiang, I'm a little cold."

Jiang Xu looked away from Li Yue, pursed his lips tightly, and glanced sideways at Jiang Sirou beside him.

The moment his eyes fell on her, the emotions in his eyes seemed to freeze into ice, which made people feel cold in their hearts.

Li Yue was still praying that Jiang Sirou would delay Jiang Xu for a while so that she could completely escape from that place of right and wrong.

Her steps were fast, but after a while, there was a sound of even faster footsteps behind her. Before she could even react, her wrist was suddenly pulled hard, and she was forced to stand still.

Li Yue raised her head in fear. At that moment, she met Jiang Xu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
