“Hey!”

Ye Jiaqi didn’t have time to respond at all. All she could do was grab onto Qiao Sinian’s neck for the fear of falling.

However, after three seconds, she realised that she shouldn’t be doing this, so she let go of her hands again.

At this moment, they were abnormally close together.

He still had a faint scent of agarwood on him.

As she lifted her head, Qiao Sinian’s firm and tough jawline was right in her line of sight.

Qiao Sinian glanced at her before he looked away and continued heading upstairs whilst carrying her.

“Master Qiao… If you do this to people, you’ll create misunderstandings.”

“…”

“Master Qiao, I don’t want to step between your marriage.”

“…”

“Master Qiao…”

“Stop speaking so much nonsense!” Qiao Sinian snapped back.

The whole building was very quiet. She could hear Qiao Sinian’s footsteps on the stairs and he continued to walk.

Ye Jiaqi’s heart continued to beat at an incredibly fast rate…

Her thin white summer dress was almost right next to his black shirt.

Between them, there only remained two thin layers of fabric.

And the posture and movement they were currently in were rather… dubious.

Ye Jiaqi was very uncomfortable. He was married and already had a son. Yet he was still carrying her? Didn’t he think that that was a rather low move?

As Qiao Sinian carried her, he felt that she had lost a lot of weight.

She used to love playing around and also laid on the living room sofa to watch TV.

And after watching TV for a while, she would fall asleep.

And every time that happened, he would pick her up from the sofa and send her back to her room.

Ye Jiaqi had shut up immediately and was afraid to talk back to Qiao Sinian.

Qiao Sinian carried her to the third level and softly kicked the door open.

A familiar scent hit her. This scent was one that Qiao Sinian and Ye Jiaqi were both familiar with.

Ye Jiaqi’s eyes started to water as her eye sockets became slightly red.

She lifted her eyes and glanced at everything in the bedroom. Nothing had really changed here at all.

Everything inside was clean and dust-free. The bright sunlight from outside penetrated through the open curtain and shined onto the floor and the bed.

The light was quite dazzling which caused Ye Jiaqi to squint her eyes a little.

Qiao Sinian let go of her and set her onto the ground.

Without a word, he walked towards the closet.

He opened the closet and flipped through all the clothes there.

All the clothes within were out-dated in fashion.

He furrowed his brows. Did she really not take anything away with her three years ago?

He took all the clothes out.

As Ye Jiaqi looked at all these familiar clothes, she felt a bit of panic.

She was never from the Qiao family, so she should give way… Like it was supposed to be.

Was he going to make room for his wife to live here?

Qiao Sinian frowned deeply. There were a lot of clothes, however… Without exception, they were all incredibly ugly.

Ye Jiaqi stood where she was and watched him like a puppet.

Her facial expression was complicated and confused…

Qiao Sinian worked in swiftness and decisiveness. It didn’t take long before he had packed up half her room.

But as he opened the drawer next to the bed, his hands stopped.

A jade bracelet laid quietly in the centre of the drawer, fresh, clear and smooth in appearance.

Ye Jiaqi saw it too and hesitated as well.

Past memories flooded into her mind.

This bracelet… It was probably the only thing Qiao Sinian had ever given her. And she wouldn’t even say that he gave it to her. She had shamelessly asked him for it.

He didn’t return for her 20th birthday party.

She had waited for him, but he didn’t come home until all her friends had left.

It was late that night and even after he had entered the room, he didn’t say anything to her other than a ‘happy birthday’ before heading upstairs.

However, that was her 20th birthday, and she only would have it once in her life.

But he appeared to not care a single bit about it.

She didn’t know whether she was mad or sad, but she had followed him into his bedroom.

She was so drunk that she didn’t know exactly what she was doing.

She climbed onto Qiao Sinian and as she did so, that bracelet had fallen out of his pocket.
