Put me down

Su Qiao An's heart trembled. She pulled back his shoulders and withdrew from his embrace. Zhu Jiangci also let go of his hand.

She pursed her lips for a long time before saying, "I'll go get something."

As she said that, she wanted to limp and leave. Zhu Jiangci deeply frowned, and without saying a word, she picked up the person by her waist.

Her eyes were filled with astonishment. There were several times when she wanted to ask Zhu Jiangci to let her down, but she also lusted over this short term warmth.

Forget it, she was about to leave this place. This was the last time she would indulge herself. Even if it was a great sin, she would still accept it.

They walked all the way to the parking lot, where Su Qiao An behaved like a well-behaved little quail. He stayed still and did not speak, as she was afraid that his words would disturb Zhu Jiangci and break this rare tranquility.

She repeatedly told herself to harden her heart, but she couldn't. She couldn't do it.

Just like the poison Gu, he was infected by it. Even though he wanted to stop it, he was unable to break free from its shackles.

Every cell in her body was clamoring. Even though she knew that she shouldn't, she still insisted on doing what she wanted. She knew that this was a shameless act, but if someone could control themselves, it wouldn't cause so much grief.

Everything was blurry in front of her eyes, and she could only form a clear outline in her mind.

A shadow swept past him from the outside as Su Qiao An sat on the carriage in a daze.

The thin clothed Su Qiao An shivered. She vaguely sensed that Zhu Jiangci was coming to carry her out of the car, so she shrank back, avoiding his hand, and said softly, "I can do it myself."

Zhu Jiangci lifted his eyes and looked at her for a long time before he let go, "Alright, then come down yourself."

The man retreated a bit, while Su Yun slowly got off the carriage. Suddenly, her arm was grabbed by someone, and after struggling for a bit, she was unable to break free, only to hear the man's low voice saying gently, "If you still want to make a fool of yourself, then continue holding on."

"..." Su Yun pursed his lips, his brows slightly knitted, and after a moment, he relaxed.

Allowing Zhu Jiangci to help her move aside, she listened to Zhu Jiangci lock the carriage door.

The impact wasn't serious either. It was just that Zhu Jiangci had drugged her just now in order to help her disperse the blood clots, so he had used too much force to push her.

She lowered her head and let the man support her. She was completely unaware that the person beside her was unhappy that she was limping and walking at such a slow pace.

Suddenly, the man stopped walking, she was forced to stop, she looked over suspiciously, and asked, "Why … "What's wrong?"

Zhu Jiangci bent down slightly, his hands went through her armpits and knees, and blankly lifted his up.

Although she didn't lose her composure and cry out in alarm like before, she still whispered, "Put me down!"

"If you want to be like a tortoise, you can crawl and be surrounded by people. I have no interest in being teased along with you." Zhu Jiangci coldly replied, but his tone only contained a little less sharpness and ridicule.

Although he was unsatisfied, Su Qiao An could tell what it was. There was no intention to blame him in his words.

Realizing that she and Zhu Jiangci were in public, she panicked and didn't dare to go against the other party's words. She could only allow him to flaunt himself while holding her in his arms.

Zhu Jiangci carried his to a private room on the second floor. After Su Yun sat down, he grabbed the edge of the chair tightly.

As she listened to Zhu Jiangci ordering dishes, she realized that he had brought her to a seafood restaurant. The waiter had not left yet. Do you have any other food in your shop? "For example, porridge and the like …"

The waiter was stunned. "There's seafood porridge and crab porridge. Miss, what would you like to order?"

"..." Su Qiao An pulled at the corner of his mouth and gently shook his head.

She didn't want anything. Not to mention that she couldn't eat seafood right now, but even if she wasn't pregnant, she still wouldn't be able to touch seafood and would get a rash if she ate it.

Zhu Jiangci raised his eyes and looked at her, his voice gloomy, "You don't like seafood?"

"No, I …" She paused. "I'm allergic to seafood."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room's pressure dropped.

Zhu Jiangci pondered for a long time, then said, "Go and ask Old Xianghe to order a few light dishes to package here."

The waiter hesitated for a moment, seeing that Zhu Jiangci had placed a thick stack of money on the table, he nodded his head and agreed, "Then Sir, please wait a moment."

"Yes." Zhu Jiangci indifferently replied. After the waiter left, only the two of them remained in the room.

The little episode just now always made Su Qiao An feel awkward. She licked his dry lips, then fumbled around to grab a teacup before the table to drink some tea.

As soon as the tea entered her mouth, she was scalded.

"Are you so reckless in everything you do?" Zhu Jiangci said, "If you act recklessly like this, how can you help others in a lawsuit?"

She was hot to the tip of her tongue, so she couldn't even speak properly. She could only press her lips together and remain silent.

Although Zhu Jiangci was dissatisfied with her, he was actually not displeased by her reckless actions. He poured a cup of cold water and placed it in front of her table, saying, "The tea is still hot here, let's put it aside to cool."

"Thank you …" When Su Yun went to fetch the water, he touched Zhu Jiangci's hand, and she immediately shrank his hand as if she had been electrocuted.

She waited for a long time before she went to get a cup of water, sipping on it.

Just by sleeping, did Zhu Jiangci change his personality? Although his words were just as unpleasant, her attitude towards her was clearly much better than before.

Or was it … Was he thanking her in this way because she had helped him find the key ring?

… ….

Unable to understand Zhu Jiangci's thoughts, Su Yun held the cup, his eyes drooping so much that it covered the deep thoughts in his eyes.

"Is there a problem with the contract?" Zhu Jiangci suddenly asked.

Su Qiao An was startled, he shook his head, "I can't find any problems for now, but I still have a lot of things to check, I will settle them as soon as possible."

"Two days." Zhu Jiangci said gently, "You only have two days' time. Two days later, I need a definite answer."

"Alright, no problem." Although she had to finish looking through all of the accumulated documents within two days, she would try her best to overcome it since Zhu Jiangci had already given the order to die. It would be completed as soon as possible, not to mention that Qi Yuan Yuan had already helped her arrange a boat trip, so she had to think of a way to escape, and leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Hearing that, Zhu Jiangci's cold brows relaxed, "I don't want to make things difficult for you, and give you pressure, but there are some things that are urgent, and it would be best if you could understand."

"Don't worry, I will handle matters of work fairly." This was not a big deal at all, and it wouldn't be difficult or stressful for her to do it.
