Chapter 62 - Avoidance

Zhu Jiangci's hand that was holding the chopsticks paused, and he subconsciously wanted to say no. He raised his eyes to meet the pair of clear and clean eyes, and the words that was about to reach his mouth turned around.

"Why did you go back to find me?" Su Qiao An could not believe that Zhu Jiangci would waste his time to look for her. She had only asked him with a bit of a fluke, and the reason for that was because Zhu Jiangci had called her so many times, but she was worried about him. Or was it because Jiang Kerou's condition was not good, that she had to quickly go to the hospital?

"You're the one who said 'peaceful coexistence'." Zhu Jiangci's voice was light, no emotions could be discerned from his lowered eyebrows, "It's a good time to get back to work, and I don't want to keep arguing with you."

How should he put it? Zhu Jiangci returning to find her was something she had not expected, but his answer was also within her expectations. She knew that she shouldn't have waited for Zhu Jiangci to return to find her because she cared about her, but she was just a person … He would always subconsciously think things in a good direction and would always think of things that were unlikely to become reality.

The last thing she would be trapped in would be herself, entangled in the web of this unfathomable hope.

Su Qiao An licked his dry lips, "Oh …"

The subjects that could be mentioned between them were so few that it was rare for two people to be so calm that they didn't even know what to say when they were sitting face to face.

The one who broke the deadlock was still Zhu Jiangci, "If you have time, come with me."

"Me?" Su Qiao An was surprised, "I'm not a member of the Chu Clan …"

"I'm hiring you as a temporary legal adviser to the company." Zhu Jiangci was expressionless, and even Su Yun was unable to figure out what he was planning to do.

"What do I need to do?"

"Our company has a business case that we have to deal with recently. You come with me and I'll trust in your abilities. Help me check the contract details a bit more. From your professional point of view, give our team a more precise position and suggestion. Also …" Zhu Jiangci paused, "Our subsidiary company has a problem, I hope you can increase the workload. When we get there, help me check the contract carefully, I suspect that their company has a spy."

"Do you think that someone in your subsidiary has resorted to underwriting the contract?" When work was mentioned, Su Qiao An became much more serious.

Zhu Jiangci put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a piece of paper, and said softly, "I can't rule out this possibility. I have to check the specifics of the situation to confirm."

"When are you leaving?" In truth, Su Qiao An did not want to agree to this trip, because she still had things to take care of. Staying in Cen Chuan for a day longer, would increase the chances of her being exposed. She had no resistance against Zhu Jiangci's request. Even if it was just going on a business trip, she would be secretly delighted.

Time spent alone with him could be counted on one hand. The two of them probably didn't even spend three days together.

"I'll leave tomorrow. I'll probably be on a business trip for three days." Zhu Jiangci's words pulled Su Yun's thoughts back to reality, and she was startled: "You're in such a hurry?"

"Yes." Doctor Xun also said clearly that it would be for the next few days. When the operation was over, he and Su Qiao An could be considered as cut off from each other.

Before they were completely separated, they would leave each other with only a little time to themselves. This was the last thing he could do for Su Qiao An!

"Oh right, she … "How is it?" They all knew very well who Su Qiao An was asking.

Zhu Jiangci focused on her, and spoke the truth, "She will probably arrange for the surgery in the next few days, you should also prepare for it yourself."

Hearing that, Su Yun's face immediately became ugly.

He thought Su Qiao An was afraid and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Nothing unexpected will happen. This operation will not cause much damage to you, so you don't have to worry."

Su Qiao An forced a smile, but his smile was a bit stiff.

No …. What's wrong?

That's right, losing a kidney was not a big deal to him, as though she deserved to die for Jiang Kerou.

Since when had her sacrifice become a matter of course in Zhu Jiangci's eyes?

Was it right for him to do anything for someone he did not love?

There were only a few days left … As time passed, she was pushed forward by fate and was forced to make a choice.

Travel?

At that time, she would be able to leave from that place. Fortunately, they were still able to stay together for the last few days, so they didn't have to spend even a little bit of time together.

Su Qiao An secretly sighed, he calmed down and said, "Since I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, then I will go pack my stuff and rest early."

He looked at Su Qiao An's pale face and thought that he had been scared by the recent mention of surgery. After being considerate for a rare time, he said, "Rest well, you still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Su Qiao An replied perfunctorily, then went back to the main bedroom as though his soul was in his body.

They were talking about divorce, talking about how she was the one to let go of others, and it was only on this day that Su Qiao An realized that she had overestimated herself.

She wasn't as free and easy as she thought. Just thinking about how the two of them would never have anything to do with each other from now on made her feel as if her heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.

Su Qiao An tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep at all.

He placed his hand on his flat belly and murmured, "I'm sorry, I can't give you a complete home, and I can't give you a father who loves you …"

In the end, they still had to bear the consequences of their manmade crimes for the children.

Su Qiao An was also very sorry. Other children could have had things that she couldn't give to the baby in her womb. She didn't even know how he would respond if the child asked her about his father in the future …

Was she going to tell the child that her father didn't love her and wanted to kill her instead?

To compose a lie would require thousands of lies to form. Su Qiao An became more and more perplexed, not knowing where her future would be, and not knowing what her life would be like in the future.

It seemed that regardless of whether Zhu Jiangci existed or not, she could not find the path that he should take.

"Duk Duk ~ ~"

The sound of someone knocking on the door alarmed Su Qiao An.

She quickly got up and sat on the bed. Through the door, the man's deep voice slowly entered her ears, "If you're still awake, open the door. There are some things I want to talk to you about."

What could Zhu Jiangci have to discuss with her? Other than Jiang Kerou, there was nothing else in the conversation between the two of them. In the middle of the night, when Zhu Jiangci said that he wanted to talk to her about something, to be honest, she felt that it was a little scary.
