One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love-Chapter 732 - 730: Can or Cannot?

In the evening, just like usual, the only difference was that Old Madam Jiang had a lot more smiles during dinner.

Seeing her happy, Jiang Yixiu asked, "Mom, you’ve been in a good mood lately. What’s the good news?"

"...Uh." Old Madam Jiang glanced at Luo Yan, then said, "Of course, I’m happy you two have finally decided to get married, so I can’t help but want to smile, haha."

Actually, that’s the truth. She certainly hoped Luo Yan could become her daughter-in-law.

But what really made her smile was the child in Mu Qingxin’s belly. Sending things to her every day gave her hope—

Thinking that perhaps when the child is born, the old man could wake up as he had longed for a grandchild for so long.

Of course, Luo Yan knew why the old madam was so happy?

Yet this happiness made her heart ache, wondering if such an effort was still inferior to Mu Qingxin just being pregnant?

She didn’t want to compare from the start, but now it had evolved to a point where she couldn’t remain entirely calm—

The man she’s going to marry still has another woman’s shadow in his heart, and the old madam, who was always on her side, has started to turn against her. She felt like she was gradually losing her current life.

But she couldn’t lose it!

If lost, she’d truly have nothing left.

After dinner, Old Madam Jiang said she was a bit tired and went back to her room to rest first.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yixiu was in the study handling business affairs. Around nine at night, the study door opened, and Luo Yan walked in with a bowl of sweet soup, smiling.

The man looked up at her briefly before lowering his head again, "Why aren’t you asleep yet?"

"I was afraid you’d be hungry, so I made you a little snack—"

Ever since deciding to get married, Luo Yan changed how she addressed him, no longer calling him "Mr. Jiang, Doctor Jiang."

Jiang Yixiu smiled faintly, "You’re truly a virtuous wife. I’m lucky to marry you."

Luo Yan wasn’t foolish; she could discern the truth in his words. To him, she was naturally the virtuous one. Mu Qingxin’s fierce and rebellious nature wouldn’t comply with him?

But she was different. She was very gentle; whatever he said, she agreed. In his eyes, of course, she was good.

But peeling away that good facade and seeing the beating heart inside, it was still filled with Mu Qingxin.

Another woman—

Every time she thought of this, Luo Yan couldn’t remain calm, wishing to throw away the demeanor she had painstakingly cultivated.

She wanted his heart too and didn’t need his façade of pity.

Even if she had his body, so what?

It’s laughable that she hadn’t even obtained his body yet.

The woman placed the sweet soup on the table but didn’t leave. Instead, she walked to the man’s side, "Yixiu, I have something to say to you."

"Hmm?" Jiang Yi continued to focus on his work, "If it’s about the wedding, wait until I come back from the trip! That’s not urgent—"

"...It’s not that." The woman’s voice was soft and carried a hint of timidity.

This tone, Jiang Yixiu had never heard from Mu Qingxin, and he didn’t know why these days he... often compared the two of them.

The more he compared, the more he felt Luo Yan was the woman he should cherish, and Mu Qingxin wasn’t worth his worries.

Yet it was precisely such comparisons that made it increasingly difficult for him to forget that woman.

As if her every smile and frown was engraved in the depths of his mind, and to extract it, he had to endure excruciating pain.

"What do you want to say?" He took Luo Yan’s hand, trying to soften his expression, "You can tell me anything."

Luo Yan asked hoarsely, "If I ever do something to betray you, could you... forgive me?"

"Could you?"
