He was busy with both recording and monitoring, and didn't come home until the middle of the night.

When she returned, the store downstairs was already closed, so she could only find some fast food to fill her stomach.

After Su Qiao An finished showering, he carried the cup noodles and sat cross-legged on the tatami, with a notebook placed on the small table.

She ate two mouthfuls, then went back to the kitchen and poured out the rest of the water. Then she threw the bucket into the trash.

Because of her work, she hadn't slept soundly these past few days. Normally, it would be around two or three in the morning when she finished her work.

It wasn't easy for him to finish his work and he would fall asleep after touching the pillow.

In the middle of the night, Su Yun was extremely thirsty, he crawled out of his bed in a daze, and drank some water, when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the balcony in the living room, he suddenly stopped, and stood in the living room.

Su Qiao An took a small step forward, and the sound became louder and louder.

She admitted that she was bold, but in the middle of the night, while everyone else was deep in sleep, hearing someone trying to pry open the door to their house, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Su Qiao An stood there stupidly with his head empty for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking about.

When she regained her senses, she was already beside the sofa. She was still holding the phone in her hand, listening to the continuous beeping, and her palms were covered with sweat.

She suddenly realized who she was calling and subconsciously wanted to hang up.

"Qiao An?" A deep male voice came through the receiver.

Su Qiao An swallowed a mouthful of saliva with much difficulty. Hearing the sound that became more and more unbridled, she opened her mouth, "Are you home soon? Oh, I'm already awake. You're already downstairs, aren't you? "Then I'll wait for you to come upstairs."

She purposely spoke very loudly and even touched the switch on the wall.

After switching on the lights, the living room was instantly lit up. The noises coming from the balcony suddenly stopped.

She clutched the receiver, listening intently for the sound of the balcony. She didn't notice the sound coming from inside.

There was no sound from the balcony, and she didn't know if anyone had left or not. She cautiously approached and was about to pull open the curtain when the doorbell rang, startling her. The receiver she was holding tightly in her hand fell to the ground.

Su Qiao An regained his senses, picked up the receiver on the ground, and turned to open the door.

Through the videophone, she saw a figure standing outside the door.

He opened the door and saw that Zhu Jiangci was safe and sound outside. Only after he confirmed that she was alright did he manage to calm down and return to his original position.

"What happened?" Zhu Jiangci asked while standing at the door.

Su Qiao An's tensed up nerves finally relaxed, "I heard some movement from the balcony. It seems like someone was trying to open the door."

Zhu Jiangci frowned, he did not invite anyone in.

He walked straight to the balcony door, pulled open the curtain, and opened the door only to see that there were still some tools left behind. He looked around the balcony and only saw a shadow flash past.

Su Qiao An, who had just closed the door to his room, saw the man who was checking his surroundings from the balcony. A strange feeling slowly rose in his heart.

"I've checked, the valve is a bit loose. Tomorrow, the locksmith will come and change the locks. The tools will stay put until the police arrive." Zhu Jiangci walked in from outside.

Su Qiao An slightly nodded his head, feeling uneasy.

Seeing her obedient and obedient look, Zhu Jiangci's eyes turned soft. He looked at the clock in the living room and said, "It's getting late, you should go to your bedroom to rest first."

"What about you?"

"I'll stand guard here. Don't worry, no one will come again." Zhu Jiangci comforted her in a warm voice.

Su Qiao An did not even question why he would pick up the phone at such a late hour, much less why he would appear at her doorstep right after she finished her call.

At this moment, she couldn't think of anything.

At the moment she was most afraid, when she saw Zhu Jiangci, her terrified and uneasy heart strangely calmed down.

After laying back down on the bed, she thought about how Zhu Jiangci was in the living room, and the tight string in her mind also slowly relaxed.

Su Qiao An slept soundly, completely unaware that Zhu Jiangci had entered her room.

He carefully opened the door and tiptoed into the room, trying to keep his voice as low as possible.

Seeing Su Qiao An who was peacefully sleeping on the bed, a look of tiredness surfaced on her classical and beautiful face.

Zhu Jiangci stood by the bedside for a while, then bent down and approached her. Her long fingers brushed against her face, and her fingertips were slightly cold.

He paused, and when her frown was gone, he could not help but touch her face.

The reason he had personally made a trip to America was to investigate Mo Yunlang's background. He was in such a hurry, so he was afraid that Su Qiao An would be harmed.

Even though he was the one who hurt her the most.

As soon as he got off the plane, he rushed back to where he was, exhausted.

Just as he put down his luggage after entering the door, he received a call from Su Qiao An.

Su Qiao An's unfathomable words made him alert her. He hurriedly went out to press the doorbell, not caring about exposing the danger of him staying next to her.

She seemed to be frightened. Ever since he entered, she had been quietly watching by the side. She was so obedient that it was hard for him to believe.

This was the first time since their reunion that she had been able to get along with him so calmly. It was also the first time she didn't open her mouth to chase him away.

His fingertip flowed along his smooth and delicate face, and he felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.

The cold, hard outline softened, and he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

He didn't dare to be too greedy, lest he wakes her up.

When he stood up again, his body had blurred, and a double shadow had appeared in front of him.

Zhu Jiangci stood there and relaxed for a good while, before that dizzying feeling slowly dissipated.

Angele stepped out of the bedroom and closed the door carefully. He turned off the lights in the living room and laid down on the sofa.

Next morning

After Su Qiao An woke up, the first thing he saw after exiting the room was Zhu Jiangci, who was curled up on the small sofa and sleeping uncomfortably.

He was too tall. His figure of a meter and a half was tucked into the small sofa, looking very formal.

Seeing that he was about to turn around, Su Qiao An could not help but exclaim, "Watch out!"

Zhu Jiangci woke up.

He fell off the sofa and hit his head on the coffee table.

He held his forehead with one hand and sat up from the carpet. Other than his forehead, there was no other injury on his body.

"Are you all right?" Su Qiao An asked in concern.

"I'm fine." Zhu Jiangci wanted to stand up, but he only curled up on the sofa and slept. His neck was sore, and half of his body was paralyzed.

Seeing him fall back into the ground in a sorry state, Su Qiao An laughed softly.

"Very funny?" Zhu Jiangci frowned.

It was rare to see him in such a sorry state, causing Su Qiao An to be in a good mood. He remembered that it was because of her that he had endured a night of suffering on the sofa, and the kind-hearted Su Qiao An had walked up to support him. It was only because she had underestimated Zhu Jiangci's weight.
