The next day, Su Qiu woke up. It was already noon, and her head was heavy from the hangover. She got up from the bed and looked around.

"You're awake?" He was covered in water droplets, and when he walked out from the bathroom, the human fishing line that was faintly discernable made Su Qiu's face flush and his heart race.

"It's almost autumn." As if he could read the thoughts, Shen Ling moved closer to Su Qiu, and whispered into her ear, "Do you want to transplant some of the ginkgo trees in the courtyard? You should like the way the leaves fall. "

"I can't be born. "You know how many pills I've had in the past few years." As if she suddenly found an excuse, Su Qiu pursed her lips and said it out loud.

She knew it would make him unhappy, but she was going to say it.

"My fault." Shen Ling lowered his head and kissed her long hair.

Actually, she didn't know whether or not she would be able to give birth to a child. However, even if he did not put on any protective measures occasionally, she would not be surprised to get pregnant with a child.

Over time, even she gave up her wish to be a mother.

Shen Ling picked her up from the bed and placed her on the imperial bed. He personally helped her put on her socks.

His cautious appearance made Su Qiu absent-minded for a moment — if it was three years ago, when he treated her like this, she would probably fall deeply in love with this man's gentleness.

Unfortunately, times had changed.

"I'd like to see a book this afternoon. I've lost something there." Su Qiu watched him put on his shoes and socks. The coldness in his eyes was not melted by his pampering.

Shen Ling did not ask any further, silently giving her freedom.

Su Qiu did not choose her clothes herself, and let the other party bring it to her.

"The weather is cold. In two days, the people from Kalt will send over the autumns. Choose which one you like, and I won't always be able to see through it." Shen Ling put on a woolen shirt for her as he was afraid that she would catch a cold.

Su Qiu's mind was still in pain, he regretted drinking too much last night, and at the same time, only gave an "Ah, ah, ah" in response to his words.

Suddenly, she thought of something and tugged on the corner of Shen Ling's clothes, saying in a low voice: "I don't want to wear Kalt's clothes anymore, let's change brands."

It wasn't that there was anything wrong with her brand, but that she had too many stories with this brand.

Shen Ling thought that it was because she was shopping yesterday, and had suffered from some grievances in this shop. She nodded and agreed, but just as she was thinking about it and wanted to investigate, she heard Su Qiu's words again.

"I made a good friend. She doesn't know who I am, and I don't want her to know …" Her words were unclear.

He knew that she was talking about He Cancan and that the girl was Fang Tan's good friend. Thinking about it, she should not be a bad person and furthermore, anyone that entered Su Qiu's eyes was definitely not some vulgar person.

"I'll leave everything to you." Shen Ling quickly put on his tie and then opened the door and went downstairs.

Su Qiu took the chance and called He Cancan, but since the other party was switched off, although she was worried, she could not do anything about it.

He gave the black car in the garage to Su Qiu to use. She remembered that yesterday she had clearly parked the car in front of He Cancan's house, and only after asking did she know that it was Fang Tan who drove the car back.

She simply told Auntie Liu a few sentences. After Shen Ling left, she also drove away from the apartment building.

"Why are you here?"

Just as Su Qiu got off the car, she saw Qi Shaofei sitting at the window seat of the bookstore. In her hand was a book, but it was not one of hers, an old book.

He smiled and closed the book in his hands. "I was waiting for you."

He did not lie at all when he said those words. Recently, he did not have a lot of things to do in his company, and could completely rely on teleportation to complete the task. Since he could not go to Shen Ling's home to find her, Qi Shaofei could only choose this foolish method.

There were still Su Qiu's precious old books here anyways, she would come here sooner or later.

Su Qiu nodded, pretending to believe his words, and then casually tried to find a reason to leave.

"I have to report to the company later. I'm starting work now, so I'm not as free as before." There was an apologetic look on her face, and her foot that had just stepped into the bookstore began to move outwards.

Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed by someone. Qi Shaofei who was just sitting on the sofa at the bookstore suddenly appeared behind Su Qiu, locking her in place.

She suddenly had a strange feeling: this man, Qi Shaofei, was far more dangerous than her!

's body trembled, and in the blink of an eye, he had already begun to struggle free from Qi Shaofei's entanglement.

"Su Qiu, I bought the Su Family's old villa. It's been three years, don't you want to go back and take a look?" His words were like a small snake, aggressively entering her ears.

The Su Clan's old house … How could she not want to go back?

Su Qiu's eyes moistened. She turned around to look at Qi Shaofei, and forced herself to calm down, "Is that true?"

When the Su Family went bankrupt, the Su Family's house was bought out by the enemy of the Su Family. Even Shen Ling of the past was unable to buy back the house.

Does Qi Shaofei have that capability?

Seeing that she did not believe him, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them over to Su Qiu, saying: "If you do not believe me, then go ahead and try."

"Let's go together." The hope in her heart was suddenly ignited, and her guard against him slowly began to drop.

If he really bought the house, then he would be the savior of the Su Clan and himself. she thought.

Qi Shaofei also drove over, Su Qiu parked the car in a nearby public parking lot and followed him to the Su Family's old location.

Although the Su Clan was not a 100-year-old family, it had already been destroyed by their father for several generations. Although it was a pity, the number of mansions left behind was considerable, even if all of them were confiscated in the end.

Su Qiu and Qi Shaofei stood at the entrance of the Su Family's old house. This place still looked the same as it did three years ago.

"I want to go in and take a look, okay?"

"I've already given you the key, let's go in together. It's still the same as a few years ago. Trust me, you'll definitely like it."
