Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1274 - 1275: I’ll Take Care of You (Part 1)

Xiang Yiqing looked at her from the side, noticing her makeup. Although it was heavy, it was different from her usual style. It was clearly for a special occasion, or... like a wedding photoshoot.

Could it be...?

With this thought, he couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you made up like this?"

"I had a wedding photoshoot today," Xin Xiaoxiao pouted. "Just finished shooting, and then I ran into a motorcycle robbery. They took my bag."

The more she thought about it, the more unlucky she felt.

Once again, she felt that Zhong Qingyang was a disaster, her nemesis.

Her bag was stolen along with a bunch of important documents and bank cards. If she couldn’t get them back, getting replacements would be a huge hassle.

So she really went for a wedding photoshoot.

Xiang Yiqing asked coldly, "Aren’t you the one who doesn’t like him?"

If you’ve gone to take wedding photos, applied such beautiful makeup, and still say you don’t like him—if you don’t like him, just get married straight away, why bother with wedding photos?

It’s as if they’re getting married out of love.

Xiang Yiqing lowered his gaze, looking down at Xin Xiaoxiao with a condescending expression.

He scoffed at her lack of integrity in his heart.

Xin Xiaoxiao said, "Even if I don’t like him, I still have to get married. I have no choice. If I don’t marry, my dad won’t want me and won’t give me any inheritance—I might just starve to death."

She made it sound as if she was only doing it for the money, compromising and making herself sound very pragmatic and without integrity. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

After hearing her words, Xiang Yiqing almost immediately said, "I can..."

... support you!

But why should he support her?

Xiang Yiqing, are you out of your mind? Have you lost it? Are you crazy? Crazy?

He stopped halfway and Xin Xiaoxiao, confused, asked, "What can you do?"

Xiang Yiqing pressed his lips together, swallowing back the words "support you," and changed his tune, "I can lend you money."

"I can’t pay you back."

Xin Xiaoxiao pouted, painting herself as pitiful, "Right now, aside from myself, I have nothing. Only after I marry and settle down will my dad let me inherit the family fortune."

She admitted that she was exaggerating this display of pity.

But she just wanted to see if he cared for her, even if it was just sympathy. Sympathy would be nice.

One way or another, he still cared about her.

Ahhh... no wonder people say when you really, really like someone, you become humble.

She had friends like that too, who were willing to live and die for a man, whom she once looked down upon.

But now, in her own situation, she seems... she seems to have become humble too.

Does this also prove that she has reached the point of really, really liking him?

What should she do? He doesn’t like her, and she’s about to get married.

What if she still likes him after marriage, and in a moment of impulse, she cheats?

For a moment, Xin Xiaoxiao’s mind was full of thoughts, frowning in distress, the crease on her forehead growing deeper.

Is there also a bit of... sadness?

Xiang Yiqing looked at Xin Xiaoxiao, feeling his heart ache, and reached out to touch her head, comforting her, "Your dad is just trying to scare you. You’re his only daughter, along with a son—he wouldn’t really leave you with nothing."

He knew that for her, money was only part of the reason.

She was just used to it, used to showing a worse side to others, leading to their misunderstanding her.

"Actually, I don’t want anything either. Zhong Qingyang is just waiting for my dad to let me inherit the family business."
