When Su Qiao An was sleeping, she was much more pleasing to the eye than when she was awake.

With a thought, Zhu Jiangci unknowingly walked closer.

The kiss landed softly at the corner of her eye and left at a touch.

"I don't want to hurt you either." Zhu Jiangci's voice was especially low and hoarse. His eyes were like thick ink and were filled with complex emotions.

The more time passed, the more he realized that he was unable to be as determined to deal with Su Qiao An as he used to be.

As long as he thought of this name, he wouldn't be able to harden his heart.

So right now, he was always looking for a way to balance himself. Even if he wanted to hurt her in the end, he didn't want to hurt her too deeply. At the very least, he had to give her some breathing space.

His struggles and hesitations, his changes and whether he could bear it, Su Qiao An did not know.

When the situation reached an irreparable point, she finally decided to go all the way to the extreme.

— —

The sky turned white, and the glimmering sunlight shone through the hazy window and into the room.

When Su Qiao An woke up, he was still a little dazed.

He struggled to get up and lifted the quilt to get off the bed.

The window was open a crack, and a cold wind blew in, lifting the veil.

Su Qiao An walked over and closed the window. He pulled open the curtain and looked out the window.

"Hey, Young Mistress, why are you walking around the house without wearing shoes?" Qiao Er was preparing to come up to see if Su Qiao An had woken up, when he opened the door and entered the room, he saw Su Qiao An dressed in thin clothes standing by the window, barefooted.

If the steward found out about this, he would probably scold her again.

Su Qiao An came back to reality and the confusion in her eyes slowly disappeared. She looked at Qiao Er and asked, "Where's Zhu Jiangci?"

It definitely wasn't a dream the night before. She remembered that she had seen Zhu Jiangci, and was even forced to sleep together with him, on the same bed as her.

The result of waking up early in the morning was that he did not see anyone else. The bed was slightly cold, so it was obvious that he had been awake for a long time.

"Young Master is having breakfast downstairs. It was Young Master who asked me to come up and see if you were awake."

Su Qiao An made an 'oh' sound, and silently lowered his eyes.

If she hadn't confirmed it from Qiao Er, she would have misunderstood that she was the one who appeared in his illusion last night. It would be just like when she saw Zhu Jiangci appearing downstairs that day.

Qiao Er brought the slippers in front of Su Qiao An, and said softly, "Young Mistress, quickly put on your shoes. If Young Master sees me, I'll be scolded again."

Su Qiao An silently put on his shoes and allowed Qiao Er to push her to wash up.

It was only when Qiao Er told her to get down that she refused to do so.

At a time like this, every time she saw Zhu Jiangci, it would be extremely awkward. She did not want to embarrass herself, and did not want Zhu Jiangci to continue showing off in front of her, shaking her mind.

"Then …" Seeing that Su Qiao An was not willing to go downstairs, Qiao Er tried asking, "Then, should I help you bring up your breakfast?"

"Yes." It didn't matter where she ate, since she didn't want to go wherever Zhu Jiangci was.

Receiving an affirmative answer, Qiao Er immediately left his bedroom and went downstairs to bring breakfast.

Su Qiao An sat in his bedroom and waited. However, the one waiting was not Qiao Er who returned, but Zhu Jiangci who came back with a plate and a cold face.

The man put the plate on the small table in front of her with an unfriendly expression, "What's wrong?" You don't want to see me if you don't go out to eat? "

"I thought I made myself very clear yesterday." Su Qiao An did not move.

Hearing this, Zhu Jiangci's face became even more unsightly, and she involuntarily thought of what she had said yesterday, "The person who doesn't want to see you the most in the entire Chu Family is me."

The veins on Zhu Jiangci's forehead faintly bulged as he stared sinisterly at the little girl who was not knowing if he was dead or alive in front of him. His gaze landed on her bulging lower abdomen, and he forcefully suppressed the flames of anger that were rising within him, as he let out a heavy snort, and said in a vile manner, "The more you don't want to see me, the more I'll tie you up by my side!"

"Boring! "Childish!" Su Qiao An looked at him speechlessly. Why did she feel that the current Zhu Jiangci was just like a three year old child!

Su Qiao An looked at Zhu Jiangci with dissatisfaction as he sat down peacefully, as if he was going to stay here for the whole day, "Don't you have to go to work? It's not that the matter of the Clear Stream Garden project hasn't been resolved, but do you still have the time to stay at home and stay at work? "

"Don't meddle in matters that you don't have to care about." Zhu Jiangci looked at her indifferently.

No matter how unhappy Su Qiao An was, he could only swallow his bad mood. He looked down at the breakfast on the table and stood there motionlessly.

Sometimes she really didn't know what to do, as if whatever she did was a mistake.

"What is it? Is breakfast not to your liking? " Zhu Jiangci did not even look at her, but casually picked up a magazine and started reading.

Hearing that, Su Yun raised his gaze and looked at him, and after brewing for a while, he asked in a serious tone, "Shall we talk?"

Zhu Jiangci looked at her, his eyes dark, "Let's talk after we eat."

"No, let's talk about it now." Su Qiao An said, "What exactly do you want? There doesn't seem to be a need to hide our relationship, does there? You might as well tell me the truth so that I can be prepared for what you are going to do. "

She had had enough. Rather than living her life in fear and trepidation, she might as well make things clear sooner so that she could die sooner and reincarnate!

"Eat first." Zhu Jiangci retracted his gaze, unable to make sense of the situation.

It was not that he wanted to deliberately mystify things, but he realised that when he treated Su Qiao An, he could not bear to do so, so … He didn't even know what he wanted.

Su Yun frowned, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw Zhu Jiangci's cold expression and quickly swallowed his words.

After eating breakfast, she asked again, "I don't want to become an obstacle between you two. In the past, I was wrong, I shouldn't have married into your family. But now, I …"

"Don't worry, the divorce agreement you signed is still valid." Zhu Jiangci stopped her from speaking, "After you give birth to your child, I won't stop you no matter where you want to go."

Su Qiao An was startled, after digesting what Zhu Jiangci had said, he did not know whether to be happy or worry.

Deep in her heart, there was a trace of disappointment and bitterness. She let out an "oh".

"I already said that once you signed the divorce agreement, we would have nothing more to do with each other." Zhu Jiangci's attitude was extremely cold.

"That's good." "As long as I give birth to the child, there will be no contact between us. I will not interfere with the matters of Chu Family, and I will return whatever I need to return to you."

including what Chu Shixiong had given her, she didn't want any money at all.

As long as Zhu Jiangci was willing to let her and the child leave safely, then she would definitely return everything that Chu Shixiong had given her.

Seeing that she wanted to leave so much, Zhu Jiangci felt a pang in his heart. He suppressed it and looked at her, his pitch-black and dark eyes not understanding the meaning behind it, "You should have given it back to me? What are you supposed to give me back? "
