As Long as You Help Me Win Nannan, I'll Give You Meng Hongchen as a Wife

Seeing that she could no longer hide it and had no intention of doing so, Jiang Nannan nodded gently and answered frankly, "Yes, I really am going out tomorrow to bring my mother here to live."

Having received a definite answer, Xiao Hongchen's face immediately broke into a bright, clear smile. The carefully calculated tenderness in his eyes appeared just right as he promptly extended the invitation.

"Perfect!"

"My cultivation has recently hit a bottleneck, so I have nothing to do for the time being. Rather than shut myself away and train bitterly, I might as well accompany you to bring Auntie back."

His blazing gaze fell directly upon Jiang Nannan's exquisite face. He made no attempt to conceal his feelings, his tone sincere yet carrying a forceful desire to protect her.

"The journey is long, and the road may not be safe. It would be better to have someone accompanying you. If any trouble arises along the way, I can protect both you and Auntie."

At that moment, the affection, admiration, and favoritism in his eyes were open and intense, nearly overflowing.

He did not care about the gazes of the surrounding passersby, nor did he care about Li Changsheng, who had silently watched the entire exchange from beside them.

Six years had tempered Jiang Nannan. She had long shed the timid, rustic air she had when she first entered the academy and undergone an ultimate transformation.

In terms of martial soul talent and cultivation aptitude, she might not have been among the most monstrous geniuses.

But when it came to looks, figure, bearing, and character, the current Jiang Nannan was absolutely at the pinnacle of the continent!

Her skin was fair and translucent, her brows and eyes gentle and lively, and she naturally possessed a unique temperament that was both graceful and cool.

Her light golden short dress accentuated her slender, tall figure. Her proportions were perfectly balanced, her curves exquisite, every inch of her silhouette flawless beyond reproach.

Even Meng Hongchen, who had always been exceptionally beautiful and elegant, could not help but pale slightly beside the current Jiang Nannan, her aura firmly suppressed.

Among the younger generation, those who could rival Jiang Nannan in beauty and poise, across the vast Douluo Continent, were probably limited to Tang Wutong, who was still at the Clear Sky Sect or Shrek Academy.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Hongchen, proud, arrogant, and always looking down on girls his own age, remained so obsessed with Jiang Nannan and devoted to her alone.

He had seen countless geniuses and countless beauties, yet Jiang Nannan, who had transformed step by step, gentle yet resilient and breathtakingly beautiful, had utterly captured his heart.

His initiative tonight, his insistence on protecting her at close range, was the most straightforward and passionate expression of his feelings.

The evening breeze drifted along the long street. Neon lights reflected in the fervent eyes of the young man, the slightly stunned face of the young woman, and the third party beside them enjoying the show.

A moment later, Jiang Nannan came back to her senses.

Looking at the enthusiastic and stubborn Xiao Hongchen before her, who refused to give up, she felt nothing but helplessness.

She gently shook her head. There was clear distance in her eyes and brows, her voice soft but her attitude firm.

"There's no need. Thank you for your kindness."

"I can make the trip alone. It isn't too far, and nothing will happen. You should stay at the academy and cultivate in peace. Don't waste your time on me."

Her tone was gentle, but it was a complete and utter rejection.

In an instant, Xiao Hongchen, who had been high-spirited and brimming with confidence, froze where he stood.

The smile on his face abruptly vanished, and the anticipation in his eyes fell flat. He stood there in a daze.

He had clearly never expected that his sincere invitation to escort her personally would be rejected so cleanly and decisively.

Who was he?

The number one genius Sun Moon Academy had seen in ten thousand years, the biological grandson of the master of the Hall of Virtue.

Whether in background, talent, looks, or strength, he was outstanding in every regard.

Ordinarily, countless daughters of noble families and talented disciples took the initiative to court and admire him, but he had always disdained them.

And now that he had lowered himself to make such a thoughtful invitation, he was still rejected?

After a brief moment of shock, Xiao Hongchen still refused to give up or accept this outcome. He hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, pestering her again.

"Nannan, don't be so polite! I really have nothing to do anyway. I'd just be idle otherwise, and having one more person escort you would be safer. I can't rest easy with you going alone!"

"How about I go back with you? I can help you handle miscellaneous matters, and I can protect you on the road too!"

No matter what reasons he found or how much he pestered her, Jiang Nannan remained firm. She gently shook her head again and again, rejecting every offer.

The first rejection was tactful, the second firm. By the third time, even with Jiang Nannan's good temper, a trace of speechlessness and irritation inevitably rose within her.

Why was this person so incapable of understanding human speech!

She had already rejected him clearly, yet he still insisted on clinging to her!

She truly could not be bothered to deal with him any longer. Tilting her head slightly, she looked pitifully at Li Changsheng, who was quietly watching the show beside her, with her beautiful eyes.

Her gaze clearly said—

Hurry up and do something about him! He's really driving me crazy! Help me out, okay?

That helpless, aggrieved little expression was both pitiful and adorable.

Li Changsheng took in her little gesture, a faint smile flashing through his eyes. He casually raised a hand and gave a light signal.

"You go first."

Those simple four words were like a pardon.

Jiang Nannan's eyes instantly lit up. As though granted amnesty, she did not linger another moment. She politely nodded, turned, and quickly left, immediately escaping the awkward entanglement.

Seeing the back of the woman he loved as she turned and left, Xiao Hongchen immediately panicked and instinctively lifted his foot to chase after her and continue pestering her.

But the moment he took half a step forward, his wrist suddenly tightened!

A force that was neither too heavy nor too light, yet utterly impossible to break free from, firmly gripped his arm and stopped him dead in his tracks.

Xiao Hongchen halted and whipped his head around. His brows furrowed, his face full of impatience. "What are you doing? Why are you stopping me!"

Li Changsheng wore an expression of helplessness and disbelief as he looked at the classic love-addled genius before him. His tone was calm, yet every word struck deep.

"Didn't you see that she clearly rejected you?"

"She has no interest in you at all. That's enough already. Stop clinging to her like some pathetic simp."

"The number one genius of Sun Moon Academy, running after someone every day—how humiliating."

"Can't you wake up already?"

The moment the word "simp" came out, Xiao Hongchen's face went black on the spot!

His handsome face was filled with indignation and unwillingness as he immediately gritted his teeth and retorted righteously.

"Why do you have to make it sound so ugly! What simp!"

"I'm pursuing true love! An open and honest, sincere pursuit, understand!"

"What's shameful about being earnest and devoted to someone you like?"

Looking at his solemn, self-moved expression, Li Changsheng only wanted to laugh.

This guy's self-delusion was truly thick.

But amid their argument, Xiao Hongchen's eyes spun rapidly, and his mind immediately became active. At once, he put on a fawning smile, his attitude making a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn as he spoke to Li Changsheng warmly and ingratiatingly.

"Changsheng, we're so close—we're practically brothers, right?"

"You've been with Nannan day and night for six years. She listens to you the most!"

"How about you put in a good word for me with her, help me talk me up, and help me win Nannan over?"

Li Changsheng raised a brow, glanced at him indifferently, and spoke in a casual tone.

"What's in it for me?"

Xiao Hongchen was delighted upon hearing that. He immediately fell into brief thought, his mind calculating at high speed.

Then he grinned, putting on an exceptionally generous expression as though he had gotten a huge bargain, and boldly threw out his offer.

"Easy!"

"As long as you help me win Nannan!"

"I'll give Meng Hongchen to you as your wife! How about it? Generous enough, right? It's a guaranteed win!"

The moment those words fell, Li Changsheng nearly lost his composure.

He had truly had his eyes opened.

To pursue a girl, this guy was directly packaging up his own little sister and giving her away?

Was that really something an older brother could do?

As expected of you, Xiao Hongchen!

When it came to selling out his sister, his talent was truly maxed out—unmatched by anyone!
