"Cough …"

Hearing the sound of coughing, Su Qiao An pushed him away and stood up straight. When he raised his head, he saw that the person who was standing in the pavilion on the second floor was extremely uneasy.

Han Qian leisurely stroke the cat in his arms, his gaze landed on Zhu Jiangci's body, and coldly mocked, "This is not your private place, even if you want to solve your personal problems, I'll have to trouble you to find a hidden place."

Being talked about like that, the one who blushed was Su Qiao An, but on the contrary, Zhu Jiangci acted like nothing had happened and was not moved.

"This is my home, if you don't like it, you can move out." Zhu Jiangci replied indifferently.

Han Qian snorted, "Do you think I want to stay at your house? If you tell me where Wen Haoran is hiding now, would I need to waste my time here? "

She paused. "Where is he? Don't use words like you don't know how to lie to me, he has the best relationship with you, he would usually come find you for whatever reason, and let you help him keep an eye on things. Is it because he made you hide it from me, that's why you aren't willing to tell him where he is? "

"Why do you ask when you know it?"

Han Qian squinted his eyes and looked away from him in disdain, then said haughtily to Su Qiao An, "Hey, why is your judgement so bad, woman? "To think that you actually found a man like my cousin after picking around."

The expression on her face was enough to express her dissatisfaction and disdain towards Zhu Jiangci. After she finished speaking, she didn't care about Zhu Jiangci's expression and leisurely walked away with the cat in her arms.

Su Qiao An who was stunned on the spot finally regained her senses, and she laughed softly, her laughter was clear and pleasant to the ear, and it was becoming more and more out of control.

Zhu Jiangci pinched her cheeks, "What are you laughing at?"

"You will be disappointed too! "I really rarely see people who are not afraid of you." Other than her, she had truly never seen anyone else who dared to go against Zhu Jiangci without caring about the consequences.

It had to be said that she felt good that Han Qian had done this.

"Don't learn from her, she has a spoiled temper."

"But I think what she said makes a lot of sense!" Su Qiao An patted off the hand he used to pinch her cheeks, "My eyes are just too terrible, I've picked you up."

She was only joking, she did not think that Zhu Jiangci would take her words seriously.

Zhu Jiangci looked at her seriously and said, "I know I'm very weak. Give me some time, and I will slowly change it."

"I …" Su Qiao An kept quiet, and did not know how to reply.

"Qiao Er hasn't seen you in such a long time, he should miss you very much. Let's go over and take a look first."

"Oh," Su Qiao An replied obediently.

There was nothing left of the rose garden. There had been some other flowers and grasses, and when winter came, all that was left was snow.

"Father should be very upset to see it, right?" Su Qiao An said with a dejected tone.

She didn't expect that in just two short years, the person who had treated her so kindly would have passed away just like that.

Being unable to see Chu Shixiong one last time was probably the most regretful thing in her life.

Back then, if it wasn't for Chu Shixiong helping her manage Su Rong's matters and taking her in as a servant in the Chu Family, she still didn't know what she would have become like.

"He won't be sad." As Zhu Jiangci said this, he slightly raised the hand he was holding hers and curled his lips, "His greatest wish is that one day, I will be able to find you and bring you back. To him, being able to return here is his greatest consolation."

The biting cold wind whistled past.

Su Qiao An shivered and retracted his hand, "Stop trying to stir up trouble, it's very cold."

She did it with ease and without guilt.

It really was very cold. She was extremely afraid of the cold to have to stand in the cold snow to blow the cold wind. Just standing there for a short while made her feel extremely cold.

Zhu Jiangci laughed helplessly, then took her hand and stuffed it into his pocket and pulled her into the small courtyard.

The room was almost unchanged. The last time he had been here, the walls were filled with green vines and were now covered with a thick layer of snow.

When they entered the house, Qiao Er, who was cleaning, exclaimed as he looked at them in a daze.

Then, her eyes brimmed with surprise and joy. "Young Mistress!"

Su Qiao An subconsciously looked at Zhu Jiangci, seeing that he did not have any expression, she lightly nodded her head, "Qiao Er."

"How …" Qiao Er was at a loss of what to do, "Young Mistress, did you eat yet? Or do you want to sit down and rest? "How about I …"

"Qiao Er." Zhu Jiangci interrupted her, "Qiao Er, go and take a look at the ingredients in the kitchen, bring out everything that you can take out."

"Oh!" "Alright!" Qiao Er looked at Su Qiao An with wild joy, then obediently left.

When Qiao Er left, Su Qiao An secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

She felt a little pressured to be stared at with such eagerness. She thought that she must be an awkward and nosey woman. She was not used to people being nice to her.

Thinking back to last time, she still felt that she would never be able to return to this place for the rest of her life.

Who knew she would lose face so quickly? Not only had she returned to this place, she might even become a member of it in the future.

Su Qiao An who was deep in thought glanced over at Zhu Jiangci who was rolling up his sleeves and taking off his jacket and scarf, and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

"It's New Year's Eve today, it's too late to decorate. I can only cook a sumptuous meal together."

"You want to cook yourself?" Su Qiao An looked at him suspiciously.

Although he had previously eaten Zhu Jiangci's cooking and the taste was indeed good, he had never cooked a sumptuous meal before. Could he really cook an entire table of food by himself?

"How about I help you!" She offered to help, of course Zhu Jiangci wouldn't reject her.

By the time they reached the kitchen, Qiao Er had already finished taking all the ingredients.

Seeing Zhu Jiangci going to wash the vegetables, Qiao Er was not surprised. Instead, he took out his apron and passed it to Su Qiao An, "Young Mistress, you should just tie up the apron for Young Master!"

After Su Qiao An received it, Qiao Er walked out of the kitchen on his own accord, leaving the two of them with enough space.

"Here, tie this up." Su Qiao An then extended his hand forward.

Zhu Jiangci raised his wet hands. "Help me tie it."

She stared at Zhu Jiangci for a while before stepping forward. Her hands wrapped around the man's slender waist and wrapped around his back to tie it.

The two of them were so close that he could smell the fragrance even if he lowered his head.

Just as he finished tying them up, Su Qiao An straightened his body and was about to retreat, he was hugged by the waist.

The man lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Welcome home, Mrs. Chu."

She had never felt a sense of belonging before.

To her, this was not her home. She did not have a home, just like duckweed on a lake, drifting with the flow.

Zhu Jiangci did not acknowledge her identity, and she did not insist on becoming a part of this family.

Now...

She was still not a part of the Chu Family, but she had a small family, just him and her.
