"Young master, you …" Are you alright? " Qiao Er had been waiting downstairs in the living room. Seeing Zhu Jiangci coming down from the stairs, his face did not look too good, so he asked carefully.

However, Zhu Jiangci completely ignored her, as if he did not hear her words.

He seemed to be troubled by something as he immersed himself in his own thoughts, oblivious to everything that was happening outside.

Qiao Er watched as the expressionless Zhu Jiangci walked out of the house. She then looked back towards the stairs with a face full of suspicion. Could it be because the young mistress was sent back by a man when she didn't attend the family banquet tonight? Was it because the young master came here so late to denounce her?

However …

If he had quarreled with the young mistress, why hadn't she heard anything from downstairs? Furthermore, the young master's expression was extremely ugly, as if he had received a heavy blow.

Qiao Er did not understand the details of the relationship between the young couple. She only knew that the young master and the young mistress rarely spent time with each other and that the young master would rarely come back. Even if he did come back, he would stay at the Miss Jiang and would not step foot in here.

She, as a servant, felt that it wasn't worth it even for Young Mistress. Young Mistress had worked so hard to get pregnant, and she couldn't eat or sleep well, and she had lost a lot of weight. He was still singing and dancing outside, cuddling up other women for fear that something might happen to them.

Qiao Er sighed, walked up the stairs and went to the second floor.

He carefully opened the bedroom door and realized that Su Qiao An was still awake. He was sitting on the bed in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.

Qiao Er shouted a few times but still failed to get a response. What was going on? Why are both of them in such a different mood …

"Qiao Er."

"Hey, Young Mistress." Qiao Er retracted his criticism and waited respectfully.

Su Qiao An lowered his gaze and said weakly, "Tomorrow, go and tell Xu Shu that he has prepared a carriage for me. Tell him that I want to go out."

"Huh?" Qiao Er was surprised, "Young Mistress, is it really inconvenient for you to go out now? "Or should I …"

Su Qiao An looked at her gently, without a hint of emotion in his eyes. Qiao Er tactfully closed his mouth and nodded his head: "Alright, then I will speak with Steward Song in the morning."

"Yes." Since it was Zhu Jiangci who had agreed to it, she would do as he wished.

— —

"What I want is something that you cannot give me, so don't stop me from asking others for it. What you stingy gave me was exactly what others wanted to give me."

Zhu Jiangci had no interest in knowing what Su Qiao An wanted, nor did he know what he wanted.

When he finally understood, his first reaction was to escape. There were some things that he couldn't give Su Qiao An.

Actually, he was happy to see Su Qiao An and Mo Yunlang together. He had even thought that if Su Qiao An and Mo Yunlang could get along with each other, then it would be even easier to explain himself to this old man. The wrong party would become Su Qiao An, not himself, and Ke Er wouldn't have to endure such criticism and criticism.

But now …

He admitted that he felt a little uncomfortable at the bottom of his heart when he saw Mo Yunlang together with Su Qiao An, especially when Mo Yunlang stuck her head out for Su Qiao An and acted as though she was protecting him.

Maybe during the family banquet, he was not angry because Mo Yunlang exposed what he wanted to hide, but because he detested Mo Yunlang denouncing him while giving Su Qiao An a good name.

Lifting his hand, he pressed it to his aching forehead. He was currently in a state of panic.

"Big Brother Jiang Qian." Jiang Kerou knocked on the door, pushed it open and entered, bringing everything in, with a gentle voice, "Big Brother Jiang Qian, do you have a headache?"

"Why are you here?" When Zhu Jiangci saw Jiang Kerou, a crease appeared between his brows.

"It was my mistake at the family banquet last night. I thought about it a lot when I was at home, and I felt that I should come over to have a good talk with you. After all, we are both sufficiently calm now."

Zhu Jiangci stayed in the company for the entire night. The ashtray was filled with burnt cigarette butts, his face was slightly haggard and messy, and his eyes had traces of red blood in them. He looked as if he had not had a good rest for the entire night.

Seeing his dejected look, Jiang Kerou said with a pained heart, "Is it because I was too insensible last night, causing you to be annoyed, so you didn't get a good rest last night? "Look at your unsightly face …"

"It's fine, just say what you want to say." Zhu Jiangci's voice was hoarse and his head hurt. He wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone.

Jiang Kerou hesitated for a long time, as if she was hesitating. She bit her lower lip, looking troubled.

After a long while, as if she had made up her mind, she finally said softly, "Last night, I didn't have a good rest either. After thinking for an entire night, I still couldn't accept the fact that you married another woman and had children. Big Brother Jiang Qian, I can't let go of the feelings we've had for so many years, but I really mind if you have a relationship with another woman, I … "I don't know what to do, this place …"

She pointed at her heart, her elegant face devoid of any color, and filled with tears. She looked at him with a desolate gaze, and said painfully, "It's very sad here, just like when someone cuts your heart with a knife. I can't accept this betrayal, but I can't let you go."

"Ke Er …" He knew that this day would come.

From the moment he promised to marry Su Qiao An, he knew that such a day would come, and he had also guessed that Jiang Kerou would suffer an insult and blow.

It was precisely because of this that he hid this from Jiang Kerou all these years, and did not wish for her to be harmed.

Jiang Kerou shook her head lightly, a bitter smile on her face, "Let me finish speaking, I have been thinking about this the whole night. I have thought it through, compared to losing your pain forever, I am willing to bear all the consequences of this kind of lie.

Zhu Jiangci's brows slightly moved, his attitude also eased up, and took the initiative to reach out to hold her hand, saying in a deep voice, "I know how wronged you are. Don't worry, after the child is born, I will give you an explanation."

Jiang Kerou forced himself to smile, "I … Is it bad? If I were to take you away from her and from a child, she would hate me, right? "

"She doesn't need me." Zhu Jiangci said confidently, her hand also tightened a bit, "This kind of conclusion is something that she already predicted, but had to continue to bear. I only want that child."

"What about her?" Jiang Kerou asked.

Zhu Jiangci lowered his eyes, "The child's only mother is you."
