"You're back!" Su Qiao An did not sleep, and only waited for Zhu Jiangci to return.

Zhu Jiangci waited all night until 11 PM before he entered the room.

Seeing Su Qiao An appearing in his own room, he was stunned at first, but then frowned: "Why are you here?"

"Dad turned my room into a nursery, I …"

"Dad wants you to stay here?" Zhu Jiangci finished her sentence.

Su Qiao An nodded slightly, then spoke out, "Sorry, I know you don't like outsiders entering your room, if you really can't take it, it's the same for me downstairs."

"No need to be busy, let's stay here." Zhu Jiangci did not chase her out, nor did he get angry at her.

The flattered Su Qiao An actually felt a little surprised, that Zhu Jiangci was not angry at all, it was truly strange!

She slowly climbed onto the bed. Zhu Jiangci came back to talk to her for a bit before heading to the bathroom.

Su Qiao An could clearly hear the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, disturbing her mind.

They had shared a bed, but not much, and in her unconscious state.

No matter if it was in Hanjiang River or her homeland, the two of them lived in different rooms under the same roof, and didn't disturb each other.

Suddenly, Su Qiao An felt a little uneasy about tying the two of them together.

Lying on the edge of the bed, she heard the water in the bathroom stop, and a moment later the door opened.

On the other side of the bed, Su Yun's body slowly collapsed.

"Sleeping?" Zhu Jiangci asked.

She did not speak, not daring to move.

After a long while, she seemed to have heard a long sigh from behind her. Zhu Jiangci said, "I know you're awake, there's something I want to talk to you about."

"What is it?" It was impossible for him to continue pretending to be asleep now that his body had been penetrated.

"I'll arrange for you to meet with Ke Er tomorrow." Zhu Jiangci's words caused Su Qiao An to be extremely shocked.

Meet?

Zhu Jiangci is crazy!

"I'm not going." She rejected Zhu Jiangci's preposterous suggestion. If something bad happened to Jiang Kerou, wouldn't Zhu Jiangci blame it all on her?

Zhu Jiangci frowned, "Even if you don't want to, you still have to go!"

"…"

Su Qiao An sighed, she was too lazy to bother with him.

After a long while, she heard Zhu Jiangci say, "I will take care of the other matters. You only need to go over once, and it won't take you long."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Jiang Kerou everything? Furthermore, when she met me in the hospital, it was you who said that you didn't know me. If I let you go now, wouldn't that be equivalent to you personally piercing through your lies? " She remembered when she went to the hospital that day, Zhu Jiangci accompanied Jiang Kerou to walk around the long corridor of the hospital, and they met in the end. Zhu Jiangci kept saying that they did not know each other.

Now that he told her to go and see Jiang Kerou, wouldn't he smack his face painfully?

"I know what I'm doing, I don't need you to worry about me." Zhu Jiangci said coldly, "You should be clear about what to say and what not to say."

"I don't know!" Su Qiao An was so angry, why was her life arranged so casually by Zhu Jiangci?

She clearly said that she was willing to hide far away, as long as Yue Yang let her and the child go, but she couldn't. No matter where she ran, Zhu Jiangci would catch her and bring her back.

Her future was limited. She couldn't even decide who she was going to meet right now, so what right did she have to do that?

"I will let you know the consequences of provoking me." Zhu Jiangci's voice was warm and cold. He was clearly not angry, but Su Qiao An could hear the deep threat and dissatisfaction in his words.

Su Qiao An endured, clenching his fists tightly.

She was unable to compete with Zhu Jiangci, and had no bargaining chips with him, so she thought clearly about her current situation. Su Qiao An endured that foul breath, "Alright! I'll go with you to see her. "

Zhu Jiangci did not continue to make things difficult for her, nor did he open his mouth to say anything else.

Even though they were sleeping together, they shared a strange dream.

— —

Early in the morning, on the other side of the bed, it was ice-cold. Obviously Zhu Jiangci had already left for a long time.

Su Qiao An crawled out of the bed, hugged her blanket and sat on the bed for a long time. If not for Alain calling her to come over for breakfast, she would have been sitting on the bed in a daze.

She pushed away the blanket and got off the bed. After opening the door for Alain, she said, "Alain, help me bring in my breakfast!"

"Young Mistress, aren't you going to eat?"

Su Qiao An shook his head, "I don't want to go down."

"Alright, Young Mistress, please wait a moment. I'll bring the breakfast over immediately." The Alain did not say much. Su Yun had told her not to go down, so she immediately went downstairs to bring her breakfast.

Currently, everyone in the Chu Family knew that this young mistress was the most noble master of the current Chu Family, so nothing could go wrong.

Su Qiao An did not want to go out nor did he want to see anyone.

When Lin Yan came to find her, she was still eating.

Seeing being led upstairs by the Alain, she said, "Did he ask you to come?"

Lin Yan nodded his head, "It was the CEO who asked me to come and fetch you."

"Oh." Su Qiao An coldly replied, and then stood up.

She straightened her clothes and left with Lin Yan, not even finishing her breakfast.

On the way to the hospital, Su Qiao An remained silent. Only when Lin Yan saw that she was staring blankly out of the window did he speak, "Solicitor Su, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." She was fine, just lost her freedom.

"Actually, the CEO is …"

"Assistant Lin, I don't want to know about him." Su Qiao An's cold attitude caused Lin Yan to be stumped for words. He glanced at the front view mirror and suddenly met Su Qiao An's gaze.

Su Qiao An's expression was indifferent, obviously he was truly unwilling to hear about his own boss.

Lin Yan swallowed his saliva, and nodded resentfully.

The car stopped in front of the hospital's entrance, and Su Qiao An quickly alighted from the car.

By the time Lin Yan had caught up, Su Qiao An was already in the elevator.

There was no obstruction along the way as they got off the elevator. The long corridor was eerily quiet and no one moved.

Su Yun had to settle the paperwork in the reception area before he was allowed to enter. With light footsteps, he suddenly appeared in the quiet hallway.

Even if she died early, she would die late. Since Zhu Jiangci forced her to come, what was there to be afraid of, and how could she avoid it?

Stopping in front of the sickroom's door, Su Qiao An was still unable to take that step.

After hesitating for a while, she finally made up her mind. Holding the door handle in her hand, she turned the lock and pushed open the door.

Jiang Kerou was skinnier than the ones she had seen before. Her cheekbones were protruding and her eye sockets were sunken, but when she heard the commotion, Jiang Kerou turned his head and smiled gently at Su Qiao An. "Sis, you're here!"

"…"

Sister?

This form of address was inexplicably unpleasant.

"Why do you want to see me?" She didn't understand why Jiang Kerou wanted to see her. There was no connection between the two of them, was there?
