Shu Shu hesitated, the corner of the picture book was already wet. If they did not quickly dry it out, it was likely that they would be completely wiped out.

"Let's go. It will only take a few minutes to cross the stone bridge." Ling Qiao got up and put away his plaid shirt, pushing his bicycle as he walked forward. He turned around and urged, "Let's go. It's just daylight. Why should I eat you? "Since when have you become so cowardly?!"

"I …" Shu Shu held in her anger. She knew that this was a provocation, but she had no choice but to endure it. "Who's afraid of you!" She bit her lip and pushed the cart after her.

The calm surface of the lake was calm and tranquil. A winding long stone bridge and the modern architecture of the Green Court Club reflected on the surface of the lake. The scenery here was exceptionally beautiful.

This was the back door of the clubhouse. Ling Qiao parked his bicycle at the entrance, turned around and said to Shu Shu, "Let's park here. Follow me."

Shu Shu looked around, "Is it safe to stop here?" There's no fence here, and thieves can easily get away with it. "

"There are surveillance cameras all around the club, so thieves can't get close."

Hearing his words, Shu Shu parked the car with confidence and locked the door.

Ling Qiao smiled. This little thing had become much more meticulous now, and had begun to learn how to protect itself.

She followed Ling Qiao up to the second floor, each step leaving a wet footprint. Shu Shu felt a little embarrassed. "Hey, you've stepped on all of them, is it alright?"

"Don't worry about it, just come up and don't wander around."

Shu carefully stepped into the area that Ling Qiao had stepped on. His feet were bigger than hers, so he had more wet spots.

When they reached the second floor, Shu Shu silently followed Ling Qiao as usual. The clubhouse here was a high-end shopping area, and normally only members would be able to enter.

ShuShu felt a little strange, this kind of high-end clubhouse doesn't even have a waiter. Furthermore, the deeper they went, the more she said, "Hey, wait." She stopped, "Why is there no one here? Ling Qiao, stop playing tricks on me. I need to go back. "

Ling Qiao also stopped, turning around to look at her, "This is a guest room, of course there will be fewer people here. There are only a lot of people in the leisure area ahead." He reached into the pocket of his jeans and pulled out his room card. It was wet, and it took a lot to pick it up.

Shu Shu became even more puzzled. "You already have a room here?" You brought me here on purpose, didn't you? "

"Hey, what are you thinking about in your head? The higher-ups of the various branches of the Ling Bai Group are all in the Green Court. That's why I live here."

"Even if it's a meeting, does your family still need to live here with this close proximity?"

Ling Qiao said meaningfully, "I don't live at home. I sleep at the company every day …"

Shu Shu remained silent, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

"Let's go, it feels so wet and uncomfortable."

Ling Qiao walked to the end of the corridor and opened the room with the card. He went straight to the bathroom to change out of his wet clothes and put on his bathrobe before coming out. Shu Shu stood by the door. Her wet clothes made her feel cold, but she was a little worried about what would happen after she entered.

Their eyes met, and Ling Qiao placed the wet clothes in the bucket at the door of the washroom, "You can go in first, take off your clothes and send it off for dry cleaning."

"I …"

Seeing her dawdling, Ling Qiao pulled her in, "You can do whatever I want, but I won't force you. Quickly go in and take off your clothes, you won't be able to catch a cold." He pushed her into the bathroom.

Shushu closed the door and said through it, "I'll believe you this time. Don't try any more tricks."

"Well, no."

She was finally relieved. She took off her wet clothes and threw them out before taking a comfortable hot bath.

Ling Qiao, who was outside, had the waiter take the clothes and wash them dry. He even ordered a top grade steak and red wine as he leisurely sat in front of the French window to admire the beautiful scenery. Looking through the French windows, he could just make out the park. This was where he had stood this morning and seen Shu Shu riding her bicycle everywhere. She was like a fairy in the shade and flowers.

It had been a long time since he had seen the faint smile on her face. He missed her so much that he wanted to see her at close range, even if it was just a few words. He immediately sent for a bicycle and changed into casual clothes. He wanted to see her.

Shu Shu came out of the shower. She was wearing a bathrobe, her wet hair draped over her shoulders. She felt that Ling Qiao's appearance was a little dubious. "I'm done, you go take a shower."

"Un, hungry?" "I ordered something. It's the beef you like. You eat first, I'll take a bath."

"I'm not hungry …"

Ling Qiao smiled, "It's almost time for lunch. The clubhouse is quite busy today, so dry cleaning clothes shouldn't be delivered so quickly. If I don't get hungry soon, I'll get hungry." He had always been like this. He was always so confident in his words and actions. In ShuShu's words, he was always arrogant. Feeling that he was being too arbitrary, Ling Qiao then said, "I was hungry, so I ordered something to eat. Since you were here, I ordered something for you. I wanted to reward you. Green Court's food is quite famous, it's good to have a taste."

Seeing Ling Qiao act so courteously, Shu Shu was not used to it. She nodded, "Okay …"

"By the way, your picture book has also been dried. Besides the first one that was too blurry, the rest should be able to be salvaged."

"Oh, thank you."

Ling Qiao smiled, turned around and went into the bathroom to take a bath.

Shushu sat at the dining room table and looked through the French windows. She was surprised to find that she could clearly see any corner of the park, the path, the fountain, the small flower bed. She was somewhat emotional and her heart ached. She comforted herself that it was because she did not spend enough time with Ling Qiao that her heart would still ache. If it had been long enough, she would definitely not have felt anything.

Now, he was someone else's husband …

The sound of water splashing could be heard from the washroom. It was a very familiar scene, as if it happened yesterday. When Ling Qiao finished bathing, he would come close to her face and ask for his hand in marriage, just like a child saying, 'Wife, come!'

But now, things were different. He was someone else's husband.

Sometimes, even thinking about it made her feel a little unwilling. Just letting Tang QInqing ruin her own happiness was not worth it, but right now, all she wanted was to leave.

Was he too stupid? Aren't you being too stupid! However, she did not have a choice, nor did Ling Qiao.

While watching with rapt attention, Ling Qiao came out of the washroom. "See, this is how I saw you."

ShuShu looked back at him. She felt that a man and a woman alone in the same room, with a bathrobe on, was particularly awkward, given the special relationship between them. " Oh, the scenery here is pretty beautiful.

Ling Qiao poured a glass of red wine, "A cup?" Seeing ShuShu nod, he poured another cup and said, "Since you've caught a cold, it's better to drink some wine."

"Ling Qiao, you, you can tell them to hurry up and get their clothes ready. I still have things to do this afternoon. "

"The clubhouse is rather busy today, so …"

"No matter how busy you are, as long as you're on the phone, they'll do it."

Ling Qiao had no way to refute him. Shu Shu knew this very well. He forced a smile and said, "Alright, I'll call the housekeeping department right away."

Shu Shu listened to his phone call, her heart felt much more at ease. She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

"Alright, I've already made the call and will be arriving soon. Are you able to eat steak in peace?" Ling Qiao amiably said, "Just treat it as eating with me, okay?"

Since she was already hungry, Shu Shu sat down and picked up her knife and fork. "Then I won't be polite."

Sure enough, once Ling Qiao made the call, the staff did not dare to be negligent at all. Before they even finished their steak, the waiter had already delivered the clothes to them.

When he opened the door, Ling Qiao glared at the waiter with a sullen expression, "Your efficiency …" Not bad at all. "

The waitress was a little scared and timidly said, "Sorry, CEO Ling, my clothes are faster, but that picture book is more troublesome because you said that you can't destroy the manuscripts inside, so you can only let it dry."

"Oh, you're not in a hurry," Ling Qiao made a 180 degree turn, "Right, right, you mustn't destroy the manuscript, take your time and take it one by one."

"Oh, then I'll be leaving first."

"Mm, go on."

Closing the door, Ling Qiao turned around with a smile, "The clothes are here, but your picture book needs some time."

Shu Shu took the clothes and forced a smile. "Then I'll change first."

In the washroom, Shu looked at herself in the mirror and mumbled to herself, "In the future, I must never share a room with him again. No matter what happens, I must, I must!"

After ShuShu had changed his clothes, Ling Qiao looked at her with a smile, "This kind of dressing suits you. It's very fresh and light."

"Oh, is that so? Thank you for your praise. It's so popular nowadays."

Ling Qiao giggled. "Mm, you're very fashionable. Not bad."

ShuShu pursed her lips, at least you're sensible!

After finishing her steak, the picture book still hadn't arrived. Shu Shu couldn't wait any longer. She stood by the window, looking towards the corridor. Ling Qiao silently walked to the balcony and stood by her side. He could clearly feel Shu Shu taking a small step to the side, she was leaving.

Ling Qiao lowered his head and looked at his fingers. He would frequently touch his fingers, and even though he no longer had the gold ring or the ring, he still had not changed this habit.

There were some habits that he did not want to change, nor would he want to change.

"Have you been feeling better lately?" he asked softly.

ShuShu turned to look at him, but immediately turned her head to the side. "Hur hur, quite good."

"Liar!"

Shushu leaned against the railing and kicked leisurely at the steps of the balcony. "Why would I lie to you? I come to work on time on weekdays, sometimes I sing and eat with my colleagues, I have a fortune, I come to the park for the holidays, I look at the flowers, I look at the sun, I look at the people, as you can see, I'm fine."

"But I'm in the wrong …" Ling Qiao held onto the railing with both hands, lowering his head and leaning on his arm. His deep voice was somewhat hoarse as he said, "I'm tired every day. Work, life, emotions, in all aspects, I'm really tired."

ShuShu lightly said, "Then don't be a man in your next life."

"…" Ling Qiao tilted his head and looked at him, "Then I'll be a woman in my next life, and you'll be a man in your next life. You can raise me instead."

"Strange, who said that it has something to do with you in the next life?"

"Destined three lifetimes. Not only in the next life, we will also be together in the next life."

"The more you talk, the more ridiculous it gets. Who's destined to live three lives with you?"

"I said yes, that's it!"

"Tch!" ShuShu no longer argued with him. He was always domineering.

Ling Qiao suddenly thought of something, "Tomorrow is your birthday."
