"When do I need to report to you for work?" Zhu Jiangci turned and handed the cup over to her.

Su Qiao An received the cup. Her palm was warm, not knowing whether it was the warmth from the water inside the cup, or the remaining warmth from the palm, she shook her head. "If you have anything to do, naturally you don't need to report to me.

"I've been at the company recently, so I didn't go to the hospital." Zhu Jiangci couldn't bear to see her so depressed. What was there to say that she wasn't willing to say it out loud, she had to hide it deep in her heart.

She was startled, was Zhu Jiangci trying to explain something to her?

"Oh …" She licked her dry lips, feeling inexplicably nervous. "What are you going to do next? "After I give birth to my child, what do you want to do with us?"

Even though she already had the answer at the bottom of her heart, she still wanted to personally hear it out from Zhu Jiangci.

"This is none of your business. As long as you have peace of mind, you can give birth to your child and fulfill the expectations your father has of you." Zhu Jiangci coldly replied to her.

Su Qiao An did not know if he should be happy or worried. He did not directly answer his question, but his words did not contain any love nor expectation for this child.

"I want to go out next weekend." As Su Qiao An was alone with Zhu Jiangci, she suddenly thought of an important matter. Coincidentally, Zhu Jiangci had returned tonight, so she wanted to report to Zhu Jiangci first and ask for his permission.

Zhu Jiangci glanced at her, "It hasn't been peaceful recently, don't go out often if you have nothing to do."

"I really have something very important to do, or else I wouldn't have opened my mouth to tell you." The place where she could move every day was only this big. He was currently under house arrest in disguised form, and what was even more infuriating was that she could only compromise, because she knew very well that she alone was unable to face the disaster caused by Zhu Jiangci. She could not afford to lose, as she was afraid of hurting her hard-earned child.

"What is it?"

"…"

Su Qiao An did not speak. Zhu Jiangci frowned, "You are not a person who likes to cause trouble for no reason either. I did this for your own good, you know."

"My mother's birthday sacrifice." Su Qiao An lowered her long and delicate eyes. "This reason, is it enough?"

Hearing that, Zhu Jiangci was startled.

In fact, he rarely heard Su Qiao An talk about her mother. In his memories, Su Qiao An's mother had a bad style of doing things, her background was not clean, and the things she did would cause people to be embarrassed to talk about it.

He heard that Su Rong was once someone's mistress. Back then, it was because her wife found out about it and came to his house to clean her up, that was why Su Rong brought Su Qiao An to live.

He had also heard that Su Rong was once a wine servant, and that she had gone onstage before. In short, Su Rong's family was not clean, and he had fallen to other people's criticism.

Su Rong was confused, but it did not affect Su Qiao An's impression of him. Zhu Jiangci saw that Su Qiao An had protected her mother very well, and did not allow anyone to hurt her mother.

It could be said that Su Rong was a painful kick to Su Qiao An.

"Sacrifice?" Zhu Jiangci pondered for a moment, "Alright, I will have Lin Yan accompany you."

"I can go by myself!" Zhu Jiangci's attitude was very tough, and did not beat around the bush, "You do not have the qualifications to negotiate with me, either you do not want to go, or you want Lin Yan to accompany you, you can choose between the two."

Su Qiao An stared at him, she knew that he was saying whatever he wanted, and stared at him for a long while before he gave in, "Alright! Then let Lin Yan accompany me! "

Zhu Jiangci stared into the depths of her eyes.

Abruptly, the closer he got, the shorter the distance between them became, to the point that Su Qiao An could feel his shallow warm breath, and could clearly see the hairs on the back of his long eyes that were being stared at. Su Qiao An unconsciously leaned back, the light in his eyes flashing.

"Young master, young mistress, why …" Qiao Er woke up at night and only came over to take a look when she heard movement in the kitchen. Seeing Zhu Jiangci and Su Qiao An's posture was ambiguous, she was shocked and said awkwardly, "I didn't see that, you guys continue …"

Qiao Er's impudence had interrupted the previous flirtatiousness. Su Yun pushed him away and asked, "I'm going back to my room to rest."

As he said he was about to jump down, he was stopped by Zhu Jiangci.

"Are you afraid of me?" Zhu Jiangci asked.

She laughed dryly, "You're thinking too much! How am I afraid of you? "I just felt that you came back from outside very dirty, I …"

"Is that so? I think when you were hugged by me just now, you enjoyed it. "

"…" Su Qiao An coughed lightly.

She really couldn't understand Zhu Jiangci. He was the one who prohibited her from approaching him, and now, he was right in front of her eyes.

Everything she did, every word she said, was so profound that she could never forget it.

After giving her a slap and a sweet jujube, he had to pour a bucket of cold water on her after she became moved.

However, she thought that she would never forget the gentleness when he carried her back to her room that night, nor the fact that they slept together in the same bed when they were awake. They could clearly feel each other's temperature and hear his even breathing.

If she could do it again, she hoped that they wouldn't have such a terrible reunion. Even if they were strangers, she didn't want Zhu Jiangci to come into contact with her because of his purpose and utility.

Being treated like a chess piece wasn't an easy thing to feel. She had always been brooding over it. How could she forget something that the other party had just said? She had to remember it so clearly …

On the day of Su Rong's sacrifice, Su Qiao An woke up early in the morning to prepare.

The morning was cloudy as if it were going to rain.

took Su Qiao An to the cemetery. As she was tidying up her skirt, Lin Yan said, "Originally, the CEO wanted to come along, but recently there have been a lot of things that happen in the company. He can't be separated from the rest."

"It doesn't matter if he comes or not." After marrying for so long, Zhu Jiangci had never come to worship Su Rong with her before.

She knew that Zhu Jiangci looked down on Su Rong, and that everyone in the Chu Family looked down on him. It didn't matter, she did not need anyone to say anything, nor did she need anyone from the Chu Family to come and act pretentiously in front of Su Rong's grave.

About an hour and a half away from the cemetery, Su Qiao An got off the carriage. Lin Yan said that he wanted to follow her, but she refused.

When she went in, Lin Yan said, "Solicitor Su, you have to hurry, don't stay in there too long."

"I know my limits." Su Qiao An remained indifferent.

Seeing Su Qiao An carrying all the items in by himself, he muttered, "The fire outside the city gates had struck the fishes, the Solicitor Su was angry at the CEO, and it even dragged me in, what did I do wrong?"

He felt that he was rather innocent, since he did not let Su Qiao An down in any way.
