There was an indescribable emotion within his overly exquisite and clean eyes. Suddenly, he smiled and spoke in an elegant and relaxed manner, "Qiao Qiao, you really bring me surprises time and time again."

It was as if in the beginning, he had only been attracted by the rich color of the confectionery paper, and only after peeling it off did he discover that it was even more precious than candy.

He was really envious of Zhu Jiangci. It would probably be very difficult to find someone who knew him this well in this world.

"He's really lucky." Li Quan said.

He thought that everything he knew might not be important anymore, because Su Qiao An had never doubted Zhu Jiangci.

It should be said that Su Qiao An had absolute trust in Zhu Jiangci.

Li Quan could practically predict that even if Su Qiao An knew, she would not be moved by it. Moreover, what Zhu Jiangci had done, was not too bad for Su Qiao An.

Ignorance is a blessing.

She was so worried that even Zhu Jiangci was not willing to speak of it, so why would he bother her?

Li Quan was relieved, and suppressed the worry in his heart.

They were in Hot Pot City, sitting by the window. There was a layer of mist on the French windows, and snow was still falling outside.

Su Qiao An was stunned. Under Li Quan's attentive gaze, she picked up the phone.

The other party didn't speak. With just a shallow breath, she was able to discern who he was.

"Are you done?" she asked.

"Not yet."

"Oh …"

She spoke so little that even Li Quan, who was sitting opposite to her, was left speechless. Were these two really husband and wife? Usually, they were so speechless. Would it not be boring for the two of them to get along?

Far away from Zhong Yang, Zhu Jiangci stood on the balcony. She raised her hand and pressed it against her swollen forehead, feeling helpless. "Do you have nothing to say to me?"

Only her shallow breathing could be heard from inside the thin plane. Zhu Jiangci could almost imagine her pretending to be calm while holding the phone with distress. He could not help but chuckle, "I'll be back soon."

"Mm, take care."

It was only an extremely official sentence, and even after waiting for a long time, Zhu Jiangci didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Forget it, he did not expect Su Qiao An to say anything.

"Have you taken your medicine obediently?" he asked very gently.

Su Qiao An's face started to heat up. Was it not inappropriate to use this kind of tone to coax a child?

Borrowing the coughing sound to hide her embarrassment, she vaguely made a sound of acknowledgment.

When she heard the other's clear laughter, she became even more confused.

Su Qiao An glanced at Li Quan, who pretended not to know.

She changed the subject. "It's snowing over here."

"Is that so?" Zhu Jiangci paused for a moment, and worriedly explained, "Wear more clothes, and don't catch a cold. If there's nothing especially important, don't come forward yourself."

He knew that Su Qiao An was afraid of the cold. Without exaggerating, she wished that she could wrap a few layers of thick quilts around herself when she went out.

Su Qiao An replied, he did not say much.

"CEO, Meryl …" It had been a long time since he last slept, and Lin Yan, who was still busy with work, walked in with the documents. Seeing that Zhu Jiangci was standing on the balcony making a phone call, he was startled.

Zhu Jiangci looked at him. Lin Yan understood and quickly went out the door.

"Are you busy?" Su Qiao An heard Lin Yan's voice and knew that he was busy.

Zhu Jiangci sighed, "It'll be fine after this period of time, you shouldn't stay outside for too long, you should return early."

After hanging up, he realised that something was amiss. How did Zhu Jiangci know that she was outside?

Seeing Su Qiao An sticking his head out and looking around, Li Quan asked, "What are you looking for? Looking for a lover? "

Su Qiao An glared at him, and Li Quan said indifferently, "Quickly eat! I'll send you back after you finish eating. "

Having watched them interact for so long, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Li Quan sat as he looked out the window at the drifting snowflakes.

As Su Qiao An was quietly eating, he asked in an unclear tone, "If you have the ability to change your current life, do you want to change or do you want to keep it?"

Initially, he was not prepared to receive Su Qiao An's answer to this question, but who knew she would answer it so quickly.

"Ai Weisi, my current life is already beautiful enough for me. I don't want to change it.

"Really?"

"Really." She very seriously answered Li Quan's ambiguous question.

Li Quan was a little disappointed. If she was willing to change, perhaps he would have a reason to convince himself to be selfish for once.

Zhu Jiangci chose to hide it from her because he did not want her to be embroiled in any sort of conflict, and he...

Li Quan looked at her silent smile. He thought that he still wished to be friends with Su Qiao An, but didn't want to reach a point where even friends couldn't do it.

What do you mean?

To Su Qiao An, he was playing with a strange mindset, it was like a child seeing his beloved toy.

The only difference was that he had more self-discipline than his child.

Rather than break the toy during the robbery, he would rather put it neatly in the window and look at it from afar.

After dinner, Li Quan sent Su Qiao An home.

When the car was only two streets away from her home, Li Quan parked the car beside the road.

He was walking Su Qiao An and the biting cold wind was making people's faces hurt.

There was nothing to say along the way.

When they reached her building, Li Quan stopped and said, "Qiao Qiao."

Su Qiao An looked at him as though she was waiting for him to finish his words.

Li Quan said dejectedly, "I may have to leave."

"Leave?"

"Yes, Grandfather is looking for me. I hope that I can return as soon as possible." Li Quan paused for a moment, then hesitated, "I can't be sure when I will return."

So the reason he had come to eat with Su Qiao An today, was actually because he wanted to bid her farewell.

Three days ago, the person on the other side contacted the butler and passed on his grandfather's message to him.

It could be said that even now, he had yet to obtain true freedom. His limbs had always been bound, so he had to obediently become one of the chess pieces under his grandfather's command.

"Have a safe trip." Su Qiao An looked at him.

Li Quan clicked his tongue in disdain, "I'm leaving now, I might not even meet you again in the future, are you?"

Actually, the emotions in Su Qiao An's heart were very complicated. She knew that Li Quan was a very good person and she also treated him as a friend.

Suddenly saying that he was going to leave, Su Qiao An didn't know what kind of mood to use to face that.

While she was in a daze, Li Quan took the initiative to hug her, "I am very happy to be able to come back and meet you. Although it is a pity that you rejected me, but to be able to reclaim the past and regain the happiness you want, I am very happy for you. Qiao Qiao, no matter where I am, I will always pray for you.
