"Qin Ziang, you …" Pulled by a strong gravity, An Xiaochu subconsciously turned her head back. Qin Ziang held her hand, and tightly wrapped it within.
"Come back and explain yourself." Qin Ziang used a bit of strength in his hand, causing An Xiaochu to fall back into the carriage. Qin Ziang frowned and pulled out her ponytail that was pressed behind An Xiaochu. His eyes were unwilling to move away from An Xiaochu's face in the slightest.
"Tell me, how did I offend you? From when I woke up until now, you have never looked at me properly." As she finished, An Xiaochu heard the grievance in Qin Ziang's voice.
It must be his imagination, this man was Qin Ziang, Qin Ziang!
An Xiaochu's eyelids drooped, but she still refused to raise her head to look at Qin Ziang. Only after a fierce struggle within her heart did she slowly open her mouth.
"You're thinking too much. I just didn't sleep well." The real reason was because An Xiaochu couldn't say it out loud, so she could only make up a "white lie".
But how could Qin Ziang be so easily deceived? From the look of Qin Ziang's cold face, it could be seen that he did not believe it at all!
"Do you take me for a fool? Forget it, I won't bother you anymore. What time do you finish work tonight, and I'll pick you up? "
Qin Ziang's fast changing face made An Xiaochu sigh to himself, he did not expect to pass the trial so easily! This didn't seem to be Qin Ziang's style at all, as the words of the Steward Yao echoed in his ears once again this morning.
Maybe Qin Ziang had changed!
This knowledge stunned An Xiaochu for an entire day. It was only until Qin Ziang personally came to the shop to capture her that she remembered this morning, and in order to leave earlier, she agreed to Qin Ziang's appointment amidst her panic.

At the airport.
"Why did you take me in?"
An Xiaochu was bored to death as she sat on a chair at the airport. The awkwardness of the morning was still ongoing. She took out her phone and checked her Weibo, only to find that Qin Ziang was still holding his computer and working with it in his hands, making him unable to sit still.
They had been waiting here for more than 40 minutes.
"Stop messing around. If you're hungry, just eat some food. I'll take you to eat something delicious later." Qin Ziang pointed to the snacks at the side, signaled An Xiaochu, and then ignored her.
An Xiaochu wanted to leave, but her legs seemed to have grown roots. An Xiaochu hatefully picked up the snacks beside him, treating this as Qin Ziang, and gritted her teeth so hard that "Kacha Kacha" sounds rang out.
Qin Ziang's gaze moved from the computer screen to An Xiaochu's face, quietly watching An Xiaochu eat her snacks, without saying a word.
"You want to eat it?" An Xiaochu was completely uncomfortable with Qin Ziang's clear and deep gaze. Her heart tensed up as she brought the fries in her hand over to Qin Ziang.
"There's your saliva on it." Qin Ziang looked at the fries in An Xiaochu's hand in disdain and said the big truth!
An Xiaochu swore that before she did this, she definitely did not think this far!
"I... Do you want to eat or not! " An Xiaochu's face became unbearably red, she gave a low growl of false bravado, and retracted her hands as well.
Qin Ziang moved even faster than An Xiaochu, locking her wrist before he could completely retract his hand.
"I don't mind you." Qin Ziang skillfully pushed An Xiaochu's hand into his mouth, and the potato chips went straight into his mouth.
"You cheated and you still act good!" Other than these words, An Xiaochu didn't know how to describe what Qin Ziang was doing right now.
Bastard, shameless! They actually did such a thing in public!
An Xiaochu frowned, her eyes burning with anger. Embarrassed, she smiled at the two elders who were watching their movements from a distance. An Xiaochu glared at Qin Ziang viciously.
It was he who had caused himself to be laughed at by the old couple.
Look, she's coming over. Are you going to scold her? An Xiaochu knew that some of the older people were still very conservative, and would not allow young people to do any 'excessive' actions in public.
"Zi Ang, what are you eating?" As the old people got closer, An Xiaochu's mind became tense.
Eh? This man knows Qin Ziang? Seeing the smile floating on Qin Ziang's face, An Xiaochu instantly understood.
This should be the person Qin Ziang wanted to pick up, but unfortunately, they just so happened to see him 'Hey' Qin Ziang.
"Grandpa, grandma, why did you come here yourselves?" When Qin Ziang heard the voice, he turned around, and realised Old Mister Qin and Old Lady Qin were both standing behind him, hurriedly taking the luggage from the two old men.
This was Qin Ziang's grandfather and grandmother! An Xiaochu resisted the waves in her heart and obediently took the small piece of luggage from Qin Ziang.
"We are not old enough to need anyone to catch us. Zeng, why don't you introduce us to this young lady?"
Old Madam Qin smiled and nodded towards An Xiaochu, who could see the kindness in her eyes, and the expression on his face became more uneasy.
She didn't know if it was her misconception, but she felt that Qin Ziang's grandmother's smile had a deep meaning to it!
"Grandfather, this is An Xiaochu. Xiao Chu, this is my grandparents. "
With Old Madam Qin's reminder, Qin Ziang gave a simple introduction to the two of them.
"Greetings grandpa and grandma." An Xiaochu reckoned that the smile on her face must be extremely stiff. Even though the old man in front of her looked kind and friendly, she couldn't help but be nervous.
Somehow, he felt like he was meeting his parents!
"Hello hello, little girl is so beautiful. "Zi Ang, it's still early. Your grandpa and I will go home ourselves. You should send this little girl home first. It's getting late!"
Old Madam Qin smiled as she sized An Xiaochu up. When she realised that she was standing together with her grandson, it was as if they were two birds with one another. The smile in her eyes almost flowed out.
An Xiaochu was speechless! According to the Grandma Qin, was the time now earlier or later?
This misunderstanding was too obvious! An Xiaochu opened her mouth to explain.
"Grandma Qin, you failed …"
"Grandmother, grandpa, I've brought some men, so they can take you home first. I'll see you guys in a while! "
When Qin Ziang was speaking, Qin Ziang directly put his arm on An Xiaochu's shoulder. An Xiaochu was stunned for a moment, and then, the topic of conversation was naturally picked up by Qin Ziang.
"Sure, but your grandpa and I are tired today, so don't come over and see us in a hurry." It's the same tomorrow when we meet again. There's still Xiao Chu. I'll see you tomorrow! "
Grandma Qin continued to speak at an extremely fast speed. Before she could finish her words, she hurriedly dragged Grandfather Qin outside.
"Qin Ziang, don't you feel bored?"
After waiting for the two elders to get on the carriage and laugh, An Xiaochu then pulled down Qin Ziang's arm that was placed on his shoulder.
"Not bad."
This could be considered as a fist hitting cotton!
An Xiaochu angrily followed Qin Ziang!
— —
"Still angry? "How about this, I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow night as a form of apology?"
Qin Ziang parked the car downstairs of An Xiaochu's new home, and spoke sincerely. An Xiaochu was initially prepared to ignore him and directly leave. After seeing his serious attitude, her heart softened.
Apologize, these were Qin Ziang's words! At this moment, An Xiaochu had no choice but to admit that Qin Ziang had truly changed!
"I don't know when I'll shift tomorrow." After hesitating for a few seconds, An Xiaochu tossed aside her armor under Qin Ziang's fervent gaze and said a few words in a low voice. Then, he turned and quickly left.
At around 5 PM the next day, there weren't many customers in the store. An Xiaochu leaned on the table and chair at the entrance and looked out the window. A familiar sportscar entered her line of sight.
"Boss, I'll be leaving first. Bye bye." Before Qin Ziang got off the car to look for her, An Xiaochu rushed out himself.
Qin Ziang, from his appearance to his temperament, was too low profile. She did not want to become the focal point of public opinion within the shop.
An Xiaochu ran to Qin Ziang's car and quickly got on the car door.
"Why are you so impatient to see me?" An Xiaochu's ears felt hot, she had to admit that she seemed to have been tripped!
"Narcissism is a disease. You must not give up on treatment!" An Xiaochu slightly avoided Qin Ziang's smiling eyes and stubbornly replied.
"Women love to say things that they don't mean. Does that mean you miss me?" When Qin Ziang started the car, he was still talking.
An Xiaochu blushed at his words.
"Who gave you that kind of confidence, I'll blush for you even if you don't want my face!"
Very rarely did the two of them ever get along in peace. An Xiaochu was used to it so she naturally did not take it to heart. On the other hand, when Qin Ziang realized that An Xiaochu wasn't as abnormal as yesterday, a light flashed through his deep amber eyes.

In the Qin residence.
Old Madam Qin had been looking forward to the night ever since she woke up.
When there was only a touch of orange left in the sky, the sun had set. Night quietly approached!
"Mom, please sit for a moment. Zi Ang is already so old, so he knows to come back." Mrs. Qin had long known of An Xiaochu's existence from Old Man Qin's mouth, and was looking forward to their meeting tonight.
"Aiya, don't bother with me. I'm just standing here and feeling comfortable."
Old Madam Qin rejected his daughter-in-law's suggestion and insisted on standing by the door. She had been looking forward to seeing her daughter-in-law for so many years. Now that there was finally some movement, how could she not be excited!
Seeing that she could not force her mother-in-law, Mrs. Qin did not force her.
"Sigh …" Mrs. Qin thought about it, and in the end, she still called Qin Ziang.

An Xiaochu sat beside Qin Ziang and uncomfortably tugged on his champagne coloured long skirt.
"You have other appointments?" When Qin Ziang answered the phone, he heard a thing or two, which was why he had the question now.
"Yes." Qin Ziang nodded, his expression normal.
An Xiaochu looked at him suspiciously. Her sixth sense told her that things might not be as simple as she thought.
"You can't be hiding something from me, right?" After holding it in for a long time, An Xiaochu still asked.
Qin Ziang must be hiding something from her! If it was just the two of them eating, then Qin Ziang wouldn't need to take her to the clubhouse to 'reform'!
He even made her feel uncomfortable all over!
