Su Qiao An still could not bear to see her so cold-blooded and cruel.

If it was two years ago, it might have been possible, but in these two years, it was Mo Yunlang who had always been taking care of her. Even after she had miscarried and was hospitalized, it was Mo Yunlang who had always been by her side helping.

Such a proud person was now willing to give up his career and come to South City for her.

This kind of humble posture was just like how she used to beg for Zhu Jiangci's love for her.

Su Qiao An's heart softened as he agreed.

She sat here waiting, cutting the cake, tasting it.

From time to time, he would check the time on his phone, feeling quite helpless.

When he picked up a large piece of cake and put it in his mouth, he soon noticed the difference.

Su Qiao An frowned, then extended his hand and took out the object in his mouth that had teeth bared.

The small ring, the diamond reflecting the tiny bits of light, was surprisingly bright under the light.

She felt that the hand holding the storage ring was burning, and suddenly remembered what Xue Yang had said.

It's true! Mo Yunlang invited her here tonight, just to propose to her?

Su Qiao An placed the diamonds back into the bag and quickly stood up. She could not wait any longer, and if she really waited for him to return, then she might not be able to reverse the situation.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw the men and women swarming in, and her feet froze.

She hated crowded areas. She hated having direct contact with people, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Su Qiao An stood in place, not daring to move. Suddenly, a waiter brought a mask in front of her, "Miss, please put on the mask. It's time."

"What party?" Su Qiao An asked in a daze.

The waiter was also wearing a mask. She smiled and said, "Our Green Forest has a theme party every weekend. You've coincidentally met today, and it just so happens to be a mask party. Please put on your mask first, customer."

Su Yun looked at the exit that was blocked by a crowd and was at a loss for words.

She didn't want to leave in front of everyone's eyes. The feeling of being watched made her feel uncomfortable.

Su Qiao An sighed, and took the white feather mask from the servant in frustration. It was enough to cover two-thirds of her face, only revealing her lower jaw.

She accepted her fate and sat down obediently in her original position. Looking at the people on the other side of the party, she felt an indescribable anxiety in her heart.

The frustrated Su Qiao An, who was sitting on the seat, was neither right nor left. Seeing the people on the other side dancing, she became even more depressed.

When would these people leave?

She had already rejected several men who came to invite her to dance. Seeing that the one hour time limit was almost up, Mo Yunlang had not shown himself yet.

Zhu Jiangci and the rest were still in the private room, it was bustling outside, it could not affect the people inside at all.

Looking at the Chen-Xing boss who was still talking about going to have fun even after he drank too much, Zhu Jiangci frowned.

Zhu Jiangci was the first to leave the table and exit the private room. Hearing the commotion at the swimming pool, he walked in unknowingly, but was stopped by the waiter just as he reached the entrance. "Sir, please put on your mask."

He lowered his eyes and looked at the mask in front of him. He remained silent for a while before accepting it.

He took the mask but didn't put it on. Instead, he stood on the long corridor beside the swimming pool and watched the party through the transparent glass.

Suddenly, his gaze was attracted by the woman sitting alone in the corner.

Compared to the merriment here, she was more like a forgotten person, lonely and lonely.

Looking at her, Zhu Jiangci felt a sense of familiarity.

Had she also once been like this, drinking by herself in a corner, silently watching other people make fun of her?

Zhu Jiangci had once said that during the period of Su Qiao An's pregnancy, besides staying at home to read books, he was also in a daze, and had very little contact with the outside world.

Maybe Su Qiao An had always been more lonely than him …

His heart was moved, and by the time he could react, he had already put on his mask and entered the inner circle.

From her initial impatience, Su Qiao An now looked dejected as she sat in a corner. She didn't know how attractive she was to others, and the only thing she could think of was when she would be able to leave this place.

Suddenly, a big, thick hand appeared in front of him. The texture of the palm was clean and clear.

"Can I ask you to dance?"

Su Qiao An's body froze, this voice …

She forced herself to calm down and carefully lifted her eyes to look. The person in front of her was wearing a mask that covered half of her face. Only her pair of dark, terrifying eyes could be seen.

It couldn't be wrong! This voice, these eyes, had troubled her for decades.

Zhu Jiangci?

Why would he appear here?

Su Qiao An stared blankly at the person who had suddenly appeared in front of him as if he was falling from the sky.

She thought that if she met Zhu Jiangci again, she would be very brave and calm. She had overestimated herself;

Su Qiao An looked at him absentmindedly.

Just now, he had only walked over in a daze to invite this woman to dance. Why? She still wasn't willing?

From the moment he came over, this woman's eyes were filled with astonishment and fear. Was he that terrifying, or was he so shameful?

Zhu Jiangci's brows turned cold, and without saying a word, he pulled her hand, and pulled her up.

Su Qiao An suddenly regained his senses, and tried to struggle free from the big hand that was grabbing onto her wrist.

Did he recognize her?

Impossible, if it was Zhu Jiangci, he would not be able to recognize him, and he would be different from her.

He only needed a single sentence and a single glance to distinguish him from the vast sea of people.

He couldn't.

When she thought about it, Su Yun felt that it was both sad and funny. After she forced herself to calm down, she deliberately suppressed her voice and angrily growled, "Sir, please take care of yourself!"

"It's just a dance. I won't do anything to you." Zhu Jiangci did not know why, but he would usually not even bother to do such a thing, let alone forcing a girl to dance with him.

But when he saw the look of fear on this woman's face, it was as if a nameless rage had been ignited in his heart. The more unwilling she was, the more he would force her to cater to him.

He forcefully and tyrannically pulled her to his side, his hand around her slender waist, forcing her to follow his footsteps.

Su Qiao An glared at him in fury. What's wrong with this man? How come after not seeing him for two years, he had become a lecher that could force women?!

"If you stare at me like that, I will think that you are trying to seduce me." Zhu Jiangci smirked, her tone was lazy and frivolous.
