The town was peaceful. It was only five or six in the evening, but the peddlers were already carrying the burden home.
He did not go out. During this time, Su Qiao An came over twice and gave him food.
Zhu Jiangci knew that she had entered before, but he had no time to bother about her.
There was a floor lamp by the side of the table. The light was dim and misty.
The small desk was almost occupied by data reports and open documents. The dim light from the laptop screen reflected off its handsome features like a faint layer of luster.
Zhu Jiangci's dark pupils contracted, his thin lips pursed tightly. One of his hands rested on his abdomen, as his face lost all color.
Su Qiao An was kidnapped, so he had to take the risk and rush over. The other party cut the rope in a moment of desperation, causing Su Qiao An to fall into the water.
The reservoir was in sluice and the current was so strong that he could not see where it was heading or where it was headed.
After grabbing onto Su Qiao An with much difficulty, he had sustained some injuries as he managed to drag them to a convenient location to hide. Borrowing the torrent of water, he and Su Qiao An were washed to a dead corner, allowing them to avoid the danger of being washed away to a place where their corpses were drowned.
He was awake one day earlier than Su Qiao An, and his injuries were heavier than Su Qiao An.
Su Qiao An only needed to recuperate, but he could not move.
There was a gap between them that could not be crossed because of the child.
He did not intentionally care about Su Qiao An, nor did he pay attention to her movements.
After Su Qiao An left for three days, he found out that Su Qiao An had secretly left the courtyard.
The reason he had done so much, was only because he had made a good deal with Chu Shixiong. The things that he had promised to do, he would definitely settle them well.
He was in a hurry to get here before his wounds healed, and he did not stop for a moment to rest.
The faint pain in his stomach reminded him that he had to stop working immediately.
"Have you recovered from your injuries? Stop holding on." Su Qiao An's gentle voice sounded by his ear.
She turned off the computer, packed up all the documents in front of Zhu Jiangci, and said, "I agree to go back with you, you don't have to hold on here, once you return to the Cenchuan, you can go to the hospital to recuperate from your injuries."
"You've thought it through?" Zhu Jiangci lifted his eyes and looked at her. The depths of his eyes were serene, and the color of his lips was extremely faint.
Su Qiao An unhappily replied: I do not wish for you to stay here for long, and destroy my home. Furthermore, with your sickly look, I do not know when you will fall, but when the time comes, do you want me, a pregnant woman, to take care of you?
It was unknown if it was because Su Qiao An loosened her mouth and was willing to return with him, but it was rare for Zhu Jiangci to not be angry.
"The medicine has been prepared for you and the food has been cooked. Eat first, drink some medicine later and rest early." Su Qiao An worriedly said, "I don't wish to be like before and have me serve you day and night! In short, work stops first, even if you don't do it, the company will not fall into disarray. "
This was the truth, no matter what, Mrs Chu was still a big listed company, and also a family business, she had already been in the Cenchuan for many years, the company had a strict system, and there were so many talented people in it, there was basically no problem in the handover between the departments, everyone methodically did what they needed to do, even the CEO did not appear, the company would not fall into chaos.
Zhu Jiangci did not argue with her, and went along with her plan. First he would eat, then drink the medicine.
During this time, Su Qiao An stayed in her room and she looked at Zhu Jiangci with a complicated expression.
It wasn't that she had thought it through, but Mo Yunlang had persuaded her to do so.
She went back to two hours ago, and when she logged out of WeChat, she slept on her bed. She found out that a few missed calls were from Mo Yunlang, so she answered them immediately.
Mo Yunlang said, "You should be clear about the relationship between you two husband and wife, but as an outsider, it's not wise to say much, but I still want to advise you, since he is willing to come and find you, it means that you and your child are not without a place in his heart, and he is not cold-blooded enough to abandon a woman who carries his flesh and blood. I know that you have your own thoughts, but you can't just follow your own heart, furthermore you have a child right now, even if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for your child, living in a healthy family is better than growing up with a single parent. In the Chu Family, he will be the only great-grandson, so the amount of materials he can obtain will far surpass what you can give. You have tasted the warmth of a human and experienced someone's spine saying that you are a wild child without a father, don't tell me you wish for your child to follow in your footsteps? "
She didn't know why Mo Yunlang was saying such words to her, under whose orders, but —
He had succeeded.
Su Qiao An realized in defeat that she could not even utter a single word to refute him, because she was very clear that what Mo Yunlang said was correct.
Even if her own conditions were not bad, the future that she would provide for her child would probably not be as convenient and bright as Chu Family.
Su Qiao An finally thought it through after being confined for more than two hours. She couldn't hide inside the tortoise shell either.
Since he could not get rid of Zhu Jiangci's bullshit, why not go back with him?
"Zhu Jiangci." "I don't care if you are sincere or not, but this child is very important to me, and I don't need anything from you. I only want this child, and I won't disturb you, and I definitely won't let the existence of this child and I hinder your and Jiang Kerou's future. Don't worry, as long as you allow me, I will bring the child far away and never appear in front of you again."
"Do you think you can take away our Chu Family's child?" Zhu Jiangci frowned, ridiculing Su Qiao An, "Su Qiao An, from the moment you deliberately gave birth to this child, your future would no longer be under your control, understand?"
"What do you mean?" Plotting and scheming? What Zhu Jiangci meant was that she was purposely scheming against him, to get pregnant with this child?
"You know exactly what I mean." Zhu Jiangci's expression was indifferent, even though she was still sick, it did not affect her nobility, "You went to find me personally from a private detective, and purposely ran to the hotel, didn't you want to wait for this chance?"
"…"
Su Qiao An was startled and a little absent-minded.
After a long time, she finally broke into a smile. "So that's what you thought …"
So that was how he saw her in his heart.
Zhu Jiangci was deep in love and emotionless at the same time. He had tried hard to hide this from Jiang Kerou for so many years but he was afraid that she would find out about his marriage with him.
He had been involved with her more than once, and although he took it as a matter of business, it did not obscure the nature of the scandal.
Zhu Jiangci had betrayed Jiang Kerou.
What was even more laughable was what role did she play? Bed mate? Was it a tool for venting his anger or a punching bag for venting his anger?
It was no wonder he thought this way. All this time, they had maintained an invisible tacit understanding of each other. He refused to wear a condom and only allowed himself to take medicine.
That negligent accident had accidentally caused her to give birth to a child.
It was normal for suspicious people to think this way about him.
Su Qiao An muttered to himself for a moment, then said: "It doesn't matter what you think, since it was my intention, or it was unintentional, in short, you dare to touch my child, then even if I die, I will bring you along!"
Yes, she didn't trust Zhu Jiangci. Who knows, maybe this temperamental and cold-blooded man was feeling uneasy and had bad intentions?
