The night was as dark as ink, the biting cold wind howled wildly outside, and the sinister sound of the wind was especially terrifying in this silent and dark environment.

After Jiang Kerou came back to his senses, he was facing this kind of situation.

She looked out of the window and saw the branches swaying in the wind. She felt flustered and fumbled for the bedside lamp.

She did not like this dark environment. It reminded her of a bad memory.

"Ke Er, when did you learn to lie?" The man's cold and low voice entered her ears, startling her.

Jiang Kerou's soul had yet to settle down, and her gaze was searching everywhere in the darkness, trying to find the figure that would let her completely calm down.

There was no light, and there was no light either. She did not know where Zhu Jiangci was, and only tried to call him with a soft voice, "Big Brother Jiang Qian? Is Big Brother Jiang Qian you? "

With a "pa da" sound, the lights in the room lit up.

Not used to the blinding light, Jiang Kerou subconsciously raised his arm to block the light.

"Tell me, why did you lie to me?" Zhu Jiangci coldly asked, "You know that I hate deceit and betrayal the most. Ke'er, why are you lying?"

Hearing that, Jiang Kerou's heart dropped.

A lie?

Did he already know?

No... Impossible... She had hidden it well, hid it for so many years, how would Zhu Jiangci know?

Having been together for so long, he had never felt that something was wrong and would never know about it.

Jiang Kerou panicked for a moment and after thinking about it carefully, he calmed himself down and tried his best to convince himself that he should try to test the waters without batting an eyelid, "Big Brother Jiang Qian, I … I don't understand what you're talking about. What did I lie to you about? "

"Do you really not know?"

Jiang Kerou looked straight at him, his eyes were as deep as a pool of stagnant water without any ripples or ripples, and his face carried a cold, charming and ridiculing expression that she had never seen before. That look caused her to panic, as if Zhu Jiangci had truly seen through everything, and had also seen through her disguise.

Her soft eyes flashed, and she pursed her lips. The hand by her side unconsciously tightened its grip on the bed.

"I …" Jiang Kerou lowered her head, not allowing her extremely penetrating gaze to see the expression on her face. She was very anxious, because she didn't know how Zhu Jiangci found out what she was hiding from him. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me? I'm just too afraid of losing you. I'm so afraid that you won't want me. "

Zhu Jiangci's expression softened a bit, "I've said it before, I won't abandon you, and I definitely won't abandon you. You don't believe me? Ke Er, it's been so many years. Don't tell me you don't even have this little bit of trust in me? "

"No!" Jiang Kerou anxiously cut in, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't believe in myself. Big Brother Jiang Qian, do you know how much courage I have to look in the mirror every time I look at myself? How can I have the confidence to be worthy of you in my current state? "

Zhu Jiangci sighed silently and took the initiative to approach her. She then sat down beside the bed and looked at the little girl who had her head lowered and her body weak.

"Ke Er, I have never been one to judge a person by their appearance. From the moment I found you, I have already made a promise that I would take good care of you in this life, don't let your thoughts run wild, okay?"

He thought that Jiang Kerou was frightened, and so he comforted her with a gentle voice. Jiang Kerou, who had her head lowered, heaved a sigh of relief.

Listening to the meaning behind these words, Zhu Jiangci should not have known about this matter.

As long as it was not that incident, everything else would be easy to explain.

Thinking about that, Jiang Kerou took the initiative to reach out and hug the man's slender waist, and muttered, "Big Brother Jiang Qian, you are too outstanding, no matter if it is my family or myself, I am not worthy of you. I know that uncle does not like me either, and does not wish for you to come into contact with me. "I just don't feel safe enough …"

When Zhu Jiangci was hugged, his body stiffened for a moment. After hesitating for a long time, he finally raised his hand and gently patted her back, "Mn, in the future, don't do any other foolish things."

"I won't, I won't do that again. In the future, I will definitely obediently listen to your words and not make you unhappy again." Jiang Kerou hugged him tightly without letting go, and leaned against his chest. His originally closed eyes opened, and a cold light flashed past them.

Not enough! This was far from enough!

What she wanted was all of Zhu Jiangci's, and not the pet's love.

When she remembered, she would tease him for a bit. When she got busy, she would just stand by the side and not pay any attention to him.

She could tell that Zhu Jiangci hadn't completely opened his heart to her yet, so only after she did something that was inconsistent with his impression of her, would he use this kind of questioning tone to face himself.

His love was too ethereal, there was always a layer of unfathomable mist. Jiang Kerou was too insecure, because she was afraid that this feeling of love had already left her body before it was even deeply ingrained.

Zhu Jiangci's gaze was already slowly being attracted to the woman, how could she feel at ease?

If she didn't, perhaps one day, the person she had abandoned would be herself.

"Alright, it's getting late now. Lie down and sleep for a while." Zhu Jiangci gently pushed her away.

Jiang Kerou shook his head, "I've slept for a long time. Big Brother Jiang Qian, I'm not tired, and I don't want to sleep, can you accompany me?"

As she said that, she took the initiative to hold Zhu Jiangci's hand, and pitifully looked at him. I'm afraid when I sleep alone … "

"Ke Er …" Zhu Jiangci frowned, he wanted to reject her, but instead he bit his lower lip and let go of her hand, pretending to be sensible. "I'm sorry, I was being stubborn again, Big Brother Jiang Qian, it's alright, go back to work!"

Zhu Jiangci looked at her quietly for a long time, but eventually he wavered and said, "Okay, I will stay here to accompany you, you should just obediently lie down and sleep, hmm?"

She took the initiative to step forward and kiss Zhu Jiangci on the cheek, then looked at him with a smile, "Mn! Thank you! I like you the most. "

Zhu Jiangci's expression did not change, but his body was stiff, the suffocating feeling in his heart was intense.

He was subconsciously resisting Jiang Kerou's approach. How could this be? It hadn't been long since he started to be unable to accept the approach of other women.

Zhu Jiangci sat on the side of the bed without moving, allowing Jiang Kerou to tightly grab onto her soft cheeks.

Suppressing the urge to pull his hand back, Zhu Jiangci sat there stiffly. He could only wait for Jiang Kerou to sleep so he could be free.

Since when did he begin to resist Jiang Kerou's approach?

Deep in his heart, an answer was about to come out, but he didn't want to face it head on.
