It was not a punishment. It was probably the most beautiful thing he had heard in the past two years.

Su Qiao An should have given him a gift.

Zhu Jiangci lightly patted her back, letting out a sound that was better than silence.

What she wanted was not her answer at all, but a sort of silent companionship.

Even if she hadn't said it, he would have promised.

The tears that rolled down his neck seemed to have burned his skin. Even his cold heart had been rekindled.

Wrong...

It should be said that at the moment they met again, his hope had been rekindled.

Su Qiao An did not want others to see her like this, especially Zhu Jiangci, she did not want to be so weak, but she could not resist.

She buried her head under his shoulder for a while, silently wiping away the tears before sitting up straight, "I know you're not a heartless person. You've been together for so many years, it's not like you don't have any feelings."

Zhu Jiangci did not say anything, but the color of his eyes deepened.

She lowered her eyes and remained silent.

I just want to tell you, you don't need to change for anyone, and you don't need to make things difficult for others either. I will do my own things, I don't need you to help me, and I don't need you to shoulder the blame on my behalf. "

She really had never resented anyone. It wasn't because of her, the Holy Mother. Her heart was big.

But because she didn't have the qualifications to blame anyone, when Chu Shixiong suggested for the two of them to get married, she agreed to it herself.

At that time, she clearly knew that Zhu Jiangci had someone else at the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, the invectives from two years ago were all correct. No one dared to slander her.

She doesn't love herself that much, but …

No one knew why she was so stubborn.

Zhu Jiangci had a different meaning to her, she wasn't a saint.

Because of her own selfishness, she had silently accepted Chu Shixiong's decision to help them. After marriage, she had also attempted to blend into his world, working hard to curry favor with him, only hoping that the people around him would approve of her.

She was very contradictory. Even though she knew it was wrong, she was still determined to do it.

It was she herself who took too much importance of a long past and forced the other to become like her.

If it hadn't been for the child, she thought, she wouldn't have had the courage to come back to this place.

Suddenly, her bone-chilling hands were gripped tightly. Wisps of warmth were transmitted from her palms to the bottom of her heart.

"I did as many wrong things as you did. I made every decision myself. I shouldn't have blamed you." How should he tell Su Qiao An, she had actually never been some sort of mistress.

It should have belonged to her, but it was stolen.

He didn't understand Su Qiao An well enough, but Su Qiao An understood him well.

What she said was right, after being together for so many years, it was not like he did not have any feelings for Jiang Kerou.

However, he knew very well that it was not the love between a man and a woman. It was as if his little sister, whom he had meticulously cared for for for many years, suddenly wanted him to abandon this person.

He never denied that he was a human scum, nor could he heal the imprint that Su Qiao An had left on her.

If Su Qiao An was really at fault, then he should be guilty of unforgivable crimes by tacitly admitting that he was a deserter and blaming Su Qiao An for all of his mistakes, right?

She was finally willing to return to this sad state, repeatedly refusing him to come closer.

He was sad and resentful.

Whatever had happened during the time of his disappearance, he had never mentioned it, no matter who asked.

It was so negative that he even wanted to die.

The suffocating feeling of the water gushing from all directions was not pleasant. The moment he chose to give up, he suddenly recalled that he was not a good person. He would definitely go to hell even if he died.

Su Qiao An was different.

He woke up with a start, realizing that even if he died, they would not be able to meet again. The destination they were going to reach was also different, because they were not the same people from the very beginning.

That fear was even more profound than the impact of death. It was at that moment that an incomparably strong desire to survive burst forth.

However, he was just too stupid. He truly did not know how to approach her and not be excluded by her.

She wanted freedom, and he gave it to her.

Even if the consequence of that freedom was that they would never see each other again, he forced himself to let go of her hand, which was tightly gripping the thread, and watched her float away in the wind.

Fortunately, she was not a kite that would fly with the wind.

She was a sparrow that had been kept for too long. No matter how far she flew, she would know to return.

After thinking about it, Zhu Jiangci's gaze became deeper, and the depths of his eyes revealed an unnoticeable gentleness, he extended his hand and pinched Su Qiao An's cheeks, "Mrs. Chu's ease in crying was beyond my expectations."

Su Yun's eyes were red, with a layer of mist covering his eyes, his long eyelashes were also moist, trembling, as he looked at the weird monster that caused people to love him.

His heart softened. "Thank you."

Honestly speaking, Su Qiao An's appearance had brought him a lot of trouble, but at the same time, it had also made him understand a lot of things.

Just as Song Cheng had said, Su Qiao An had what he lacked the most, and it brought him the most precious things.

He treated Jiang Kerou well only according to his own preferences, it was the same as raising a pet.

In the eyes of others, perhaps Su Qiao An did not agree to it at the time, but he was incomparably glad that she had not given up.

The one who didn't have the qualifications to judge was him.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but pinch her ear. "I won't interfere no matter what you want to do. I just don't want you to stay by my side and hide so many things from me."

"Yes." She nodded.

She had said that she would try hard to learn to let go.

Zhu Jiangci was also learning to respect her. He had held it in very hard, and if she revealed even the slightest of reluctance, he wouldn't take more than half a step into the lightning lake.

No restrictions on her life, no restrictions on her freedom of association.

His bottom line had been constantly lowered because of Su Qiao An, and constantly changed.

With every little change, Su Qiao An could see it in the depths of his eyes.

If it were two years ago, even if she was beaten to death, she would never have imagined that the two of them would one day walk together peacefully and even choose to live together.

She had thought that this life, as flat as water, would go on forever, but she had forgotten that if someone threw a small stone, the calm surface would ripple.

Zhu Jiangci had things he had to do and would not be returning to China for the next week so he greeted her in advance.

Su Qiao An resumed his daily life of going to and from work alone.

The weather at Cenchuan was getting colder and colder. She hid her hands around her neck and came out of the law firm. Snow was beginning to fall from the night sky.

Strangely, she didn't think much of a person in the past, but ever since she had untied the knot in her heart and accepted him again, she felt as if she were spoiled and very dainty.

On this cold night, she suddenly felt very lonely.

"You still choose to forgive him and reunite with him. Can you really forget the past?"

She was standing by the side of the road, staring blankly at the opposite side of the street. In the snow and ice, she heard an untimely questioning voice.
