Chapter 9 - Man, don't overlook it

With the buffer of the safety belt, the sudden emergency brake did not cause any real damage.

Zhu Jiangci's eyes turned pitch black as he concentrated all of his anger.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Qiao An's pale face staring at the thing in his hands.

Zhu Jiangci held onto the knot, the string floating in the air.

he asked. "Yours?"

"..." Su Qiao An did not say anything.

Zhu Jiangci slightly narrowed his slender phoenix eyes, his gaze wandered over her face, as if he wanted to discover a trace of what was going on.

She did not speak for a long time, causing Zhu Jiangci to lose interest. He returned the things to her, his voice cold and filled with impatience.

Su Qiao An lowered his eyes in silence. After a long while, she finally put away the things on her body and started to drive the carriage again.

He really doesn't remember. That's right … What could Zhu Jiangci remember? He was eager to forget everything that had to do with him.

As they drove back to the city, neither of them said a word.

After returning to the city, Su Qiao An found an entrance to a subway station and stopped the car, allowing Zhu Jiangci to get off.

Zhu Jiangci was so angry by her that he slammed the car door and left.

She was stunned for a moment. Then, her eyes shifted and fell on the figure of his back which was gradually fading out of the window. The tip of her nose suddenly became sore.

Su Qiao An also knew what Zhu Jiangci's attitude was. Initially, she had also held onto a trace of hope, but that included when Zhu Jiangci had taken out the thing just now, she had been very afraid and was extremely nervous. She had been waiting for Zhu Jiangci's reaction.

What a pity …

Sue's hand tightened around the steering wheel, her heart sinking.

In the end, she had made an extravagant request. He did not remember that item, nor did he remember the person that was related to that.

When Su Yun drove away, he did not notice that the person who was walking far away had stopped.

Zhu Jiangci turned his head and saw Su Qiao An driving away. His heart was stifled and there was nowhere for him to rest.

His handsome face darkened and his thin lips curled into a straight line.

After standing there alone for a while, he finally got his assistant to come and pick him up.

— —

Su Qiao An was very busy, she could only make himself more busy than Zhu Jiangci, so as to not think about anything else when he was free, and hurt Spring and Autumn.

She was busy all for the sake of escaping, and Zhu Jiangci's busy all for the sake of escaping.

They all instinctively avoided each other, avoiding the prison that was built by their marriage.

No matter how big Cen Chuan was, he would never be able to last a day. Furthermore, the social circle of the upper class was only so big, it wouldn't take long for this news to spread.

She was hired by M.G. as a legal adviser, and there was bound to be a social connection.

M.G. 's founder was a woman. She was known in the industry as a strong-willed woman. She would never hesitate when doing things, and her killing skills were decisive. She was in no way inferior to men.

Her private life was wonderful, too. Although she was married, it didn't stop her from pursuing her freedom.

She and her husband were living apart, each playing their own game and not interfering with the other.

"Solicitor Suu, don't be so tense, and don't be so serious. You're all here to play, relax a little." Ge Wenjing watched as Su Qiao An's back tensed up ever since he followed him into the night, and his cold expression made him laugh.

Su Qiao An pursed his lips and did not say a word.

It was a common occurrence, but she was not used to this sort of setting.

Ge Wenjing was over forty years old and still had her charm. Although there were some wrinkles on her face, it did not affect her charm.

She would often wander around this kind of place, playing with men more fiercely than men play with women.

Although Su Qiao An admired Ge Wenjing's way of handling affairs and her attitude of taking care of other's things, but for this private life, Su Qiao An was unable to be like her.

"Go, entertain our Lawyer Su properly." Ge Wenjing pushed the handsome man who was snuggling up to her, and raised his chin towards where Su Qiao An was sitting.

Compared to putting on an act with a middle-aged lady, he was more willing to serve a young lady, even though she didn't look like much and dressed like an old lady.

"Solicitor Suu ~" He got up and sat beside Su Qiao An. He was clearly a man, yet he had to speak while pinching his throat. Su Qiao An felt goosebumps all over his body.

When the man approached, the scent of makeup assaulted his nostrils, Su Qiao An frowned slightly.

"Solicitor Suu, let me toast you!"

She didn't accept the wine offered to her, nor did she accept the wine offered.

Looking at Ge Wenjing, she told her to paint her lips with a bright red color before concentrating on her with a smile that was not a smile. Su Qiao An steeled his heart, accepted the wine and downed it in one gulp.

Ge Wenjing laughed, "Solicitor Suu sure has a good alcohol tolerance!"

Su Yun laughed, "Radix Puerariae, please excuse me."

"I say, Solicitor Suu, to come to this kind of place, you have to let go of your hands and feet, you are so tied up, are you not afraid that your husband will come find you?" Ge Wenjing opened her mouth, and the other rich wives laughed as well.

The matter of Su Qiao An's marriage wasn't a secret, because she would always wear his wedding ring. The only mysterious thing was that she was the target of his marriage.

Hearing that, a hint of bitterness surfaced in Su Qiao An's heart, where's Zhu Jiangci? It was because he was worried that Su Hao would come looking for him!

Ge Wenjing was a smart person, those who were able to occupy their seats were not easy to fool. Just by looking at Su Qiao An's slight change in expression, one could tell that their Lawyer Su's marriage was not happy either.

Happiness? Ge Wenjing laughed sarcastically. This thing was too whimsical in this circle.

As long as they maintained their marriage, no one would care how dark or rotten they were behind it.

"Solicitor Suu, don't think too highly of the man. Look at you, if you have the ability and if you earn money, do you think no one will want it?" What Ge Wenjing said was the truth, if it was an ordinary person, she would not even bother to open her mouth.

Su Qiao An suited her taste. The stubborn and uncomfortable feeling in his bones was very similar to the one she had in the past.

"Radix Puerariae, drink," Su Qiao An did not want to talk about his marriage, nor about Zhu Jiangci.

Ge Wenjing squinted at her, as if she was sizing her up, "Isn't one of us here the same as you? At the beginning, she had wanted to live a good life with the other party, but what happened in the end? Those stinking men will only get ahead of themselves. We women should be able to live more freely, and men can live more brilliantly without us. You are still young, so it's normal for you to not understand. Marriage is just a piece of paper. It's no use. "

Su Qiao An did not say a single word as he continued to drink, wanting to extinguish the flames in his heart. He rushed to extinguish the uneasiness in his heart and used the wine to fill the hole in his heart.

Oh, I see. She would also be lonely …

Su Qiao An's head was in a daze, and the figure in front of her was moving. In a trance, she seemed to be able to see Zhu Jiangci.

Zhu Jiangci? No, he would not come. After getting married for such a long time, he had never cared about his own life or death. Thinking about it till now, Su Qiao An laughed, but it was not clear if he was laughing at himself or feeling more sorrow.
