Zhu Jiangci gave her a heavy look, and did not probe further, as he brought the takeaway food onto the table, "I'll send you back after you finish eating."

"What about you?" Jiang Kerou asked, "Are you still coming back to work overtime?"

"Yes." Zhu Jiangci replied, "The company has a lot of things to do."

"Then I'll stay here with you."

"It's too late for you to sit here." Zhu Jiangci frowned, "Be obedient, I will send you back later."

Jiang Kerou lowered her eyes in disappointment, "I don't want to go back. If I stay alone, I will let my thoughts run wild, I am afraid that you will leave me, but I am also afraid that what I did was wrong. I will make your wife and children suffer, I …"

Zhu Jiangci was silent for a moment, then said gently: "You do not need to have this kind of burden, I will be the bad guy, I will not let anyone pour the dirty water on you, as for …"

As for Su Qiao An, between the two of them, other than forcing and deceiving, the only thing that remained were endless trades and no emotions. As long as the child was born, he would give Su Qiao An his freedom.

The child, Chu Family will be responsible for raising and growing up, will have a new mother to take care of, and the child's mother will also only have one.

"As for what?" Jiang Kerou forced out a smile, "Children without parents will grow up to be very lonely, I … I couldn't get through that barrier in my heart. I always felt that I was a bad guy who robbed you, causing my child to lose a healthy family. "

Zhu Jiangci sighed silently, "Ke'er, didn't I make it clear in the day? This child will only have one mother, and that is you. He will not grow up alone, and I will give him the best life, and he will also live in a healthy family. When the child is born, I will immediately marry you. "

Jiang Kerou sat with his head down, not saying a word, constantly pulling on his fingers.

Zhu Jiangci reached out and grabbed her small hands that had nowhere to place her nervous and anxious hands, solemnly making her excuse, "You only need to believe in me. In all these years, when have I ever broken a promise with you?"

She was startled, then when she looked up and saw the seriousness in his eyes, Jiang Kerou nodded lightly. His face revealed a shallow smile, "Mn, I trust you."

"Eat first. I'll send you back after you finish eating." Zhu Jiangci loosened his grip on her and opened the box.

Jiang Kerou looked at him without blinking, a dark light flitted past her eyes. She would not easily let go of such hard-earned happiness.

Be it Su Qiao An or any other woman, they would not be able to snatch this man away from her!

She was used to being taken care of by this cold-hearted man. She was accustomed to seeing him being so tender and considerate towards her, so how could she be willing to let go?

At the very least, at this moment, in Zhu Jiangci's heart, her position was even more important than Su Qiao An and that evil being that should not have been born.

Jiang Kerou leaned forward, and placed her hand on his arm, gently resting her hand on his shoulder, "Thank you for taking care of me this whole time, and for doing so many things for me."

The sudden approach put Zhu Jiangci on high alert. He subconsciously wanted to push her away, but when he came back to his senses, he could only stay still.

It was only after a long while that Zhu Jiangci finally eased that rejection which was so foreign that he did not know what to do. His movements gently rubbed the top of Jiang Kerou's head, but did not say a single word.

Jiang Kerou cutely nestled on the sofa and ate, but Zhu Jiangci was still working.

His gaze shifted away from the computer screen and landed on the person who was sitting down obediently. He was lost in thought for a moment, if it was Su Qiao An, why would she be so hungry that she would nibble on it? He had never seen a girl wolf down her food without regard for her image in front of others.

He also liked eating street vendors, so he had to serve them at night even if he had to work overtime. If he didn't order some kebab, he would order some small wontons, and he ate until his mouth was covered in grease.

The corner of his mouth slightly moved, and the corners of his mouth curled upwards as he inadvertently revealed a faint smile.

What was he doing? Just now … Was that why she smiled when she remembered Su Qiao An?

Zhu Jiangci's heart was in a mess, the numbers in front of him had all become heavenly books, he did not even manage to read the punctuation marks.

Only after Jiang Kerou finished eating did he get up and send her back home.

Along the way, Jiang Kerou would occasionally talk to him, but even then, he would absent-mindedly say a few words to her.

Jiang Kerou undid her seat belt, and before getting off the car, she went over and kissed Zhu Jiangci on the cheek, and said with a gentle smile, "Good night."

"Mm …" "Good night."

Zhu Jiangci's face froze as he watched her get off the carriage. He saw her standing at the door smiling at him as she waved him goodbye.

He drove away, and the smile on Jiang Kerou's face gradually disappeared.

He took out a cell phone from his coat pocket and lowered his eyes in thought.

Su Qiao An wanted to meet Zhu Jiangci. What was there to talk about?

Since she wanted to meet him, he would fulfill her wish!

After Zhu Jiangci sent Jiang Kerou home, he drove aimlessly around half of the city.

Should he go back and see? At least Su Qiao An still had his child in his womb. He could ignore Su Qiao An's life and death but he could not ignore him.

After thinking it through, Zhu Jiangci immediately turned around and rushed back to the Old Manor.

There was no entrance, no alarm.

After entering through the back door, they went straight to the small building.

When Zhu Jiangci went over, Su Qiao An had already gone to sleep, but he did not see anyone when he entered the room. Even Qiao Er, who was accompanying Su Qiao An, had disappeared without a trace. He didn't even know if someone entered his house in the middle of the night. What if someone had ill intentions entered his house?

Zhu Jiangci had nowhere to vent his anger on, he strode up the stairs and upon arriving at the door, he hesitated instead.

With his hand on the doorknob, Zhu Jiangci frowned as the expression in his eyes gradually darkened.

After a long while, he finally made a move. He gently unlocked the door and quietly entered the house.

A bedside lamp was lit inside the room, and the small bulge on the bed didn't move at all. When she got closer, she discovered that she was not sleeping well.

It seemed like … She had never been able to sleep soundly. Her brows were deeply furrowed, as if she had something on her mind.

There were many stories hidden on her that she did not want to talk about, and he did not want to know more about them. Going too deep would only lead to more chaotic decisions.

Zhu Jiangci sat down beside the bed, his deep eyes tightly locked onto Su Qiao An who had fallen into a deep slumber.

In fact, he was not so sure that he had to take the child away from her. He did not even dare imagine how Su Qiao An would fail without the child.

Separated by a thick blanket, Zhu Jiangci raised his hand and gently stroked his bulging stomach.

"Don't... Don't take my child with you... Give the baby back to me... Please... "Give the child back to me …" Su Qiao An could not sleep soundly. While she was groggy, she dreamt of someone snatching her child away. No matter how she yelled, she could not catch up.
