"I'm sorry!" After an unknown amount of time had passed, the pain on An Xiaochu's wrist slowly faded as he heard the extremely soft voice of a certain someone.
It was low and sexy, and its voice was seductive. It seemed to contain countless emotions.
"N-nothing!" An Xiaochu blushed profusely, even stuttering when she said it.
"Get up, the ground is cold! I'll show you over there. " Qin Ziang's hand moved downwards and naturally held onto An Xiaochu's hand. An Xiaochu used the momentum to stand up from the grass. Everything was so harmonious, as if they had already sat down a thousand times.
"What kind of mountain is this? I didn't know there was such a place in the city before." An Xiaochu followed Qin Ziang as they strolled through the grasslands under the stars. The clouds in the sky were as gentle as the air at this time.
"No name. Watch your step." This was only a place that he had his bodyguards find as they pleased. Qin Ziang naturally did not notice the name.
An Xiaochu lowered her head, and the green grass beneath her feet became emerald green. In the beginning of autumn, such a scene was rarely seen. An Xiaochu carefully went around the newly emerged grassland and stood at the top of the mountain range with Qin Ziang.
"Are you ready?" Qin Ziang turned his head to look at An Xiaochu, who was shorter than him by a head, and raised his heroic, sword-like eyebrows. He didn't know if it was because tonight's stars were too beautiful, but from An Xiaochu's perspective, she seemed so warm and beautiful that it was inconceivable.
"What?" An Xiaochu asked blankly. When his gaze landed on Qin Ziang's face, she was unable to withdraw his gaze for a short while.
The smile on Qin Ziang's lips became even more obvious, An Xiaochu did not understand.
"Bang!"
After a huge explosion, An Xiaochu subconsciously looked towards the origin of the sound. The stars in the sky had long been buried by the colorful splendor.
One after another, fireworks of different shapes bloomed in the air with their most beautiful appearance.
"You, who are on stage today, are even more dazzling than fireworks!" An Xiaochu's ears twitched, she could faintly hear Qin Ziang's voice. Her heart unconsciously trembled, as if she was holding a little deer in her arms.
Qin Ziang was comforting her, or encouraging her! An Xiaochu's heart instantly softened. No matter what idea he had, it was all for the sake of coaxing her to be happy. Being treated by a gentle and kind person felt like he was praising the whole world in front of you.
The night was beautiful, the fireworks were gorgeous. The night breeze was silent, warm and tranquil, giving people a feeling of eternity.
"An Xiaochu." Qin Ziang took his right hand out from his pocket, and saw a small remote control rolling at his feet.
Fortunately, she liked it!
Qin Ziang's eyes were filled with the infatuated state of An Xiaochu. She was as soft as a harmless animal. With a thought, Qin Ziang's head slowly drooped down. A scorching yet familiar aura sprayed onto An Xiaochu's face, tickling it.
Their auras blended together in the darkness of the night, harmonious and ambiguous.
A kiss landed on the corner of An Xiaochu's lips, as light as a feather touching the water. If not for the fact that his aura had taken over her breathing that instant earlier, An Xiaochu would have thought that she was hallucinating.

On the second day, An Xiaochu slept soundly during the weekend, filling in all the sleep she had been missing recently.
When she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. An Xiaochu let out a satisfied groan.
"Sister Zhang, is your young master in?" When An Xiaochu went downstairs, she took a glance at Qin Ziang's room and realised that the door was shut tight, it did not look like there were people inside. The door to the study was also closed. From the floor to the floor below, An Xiaochu did not see any sign of Qin Ziang.
"Young Master left early in the morning."
She went out early in the morning. It was the weekend, so busy! An Xiaochu nodded and headed out of the garden.
"Uncle Yao, the sun has already risen. Why don't you go take a rest?" An Xiaochu walked to the side of the Steward Yao's vegetable patch with familiarity, and when she saw that the Steward Yao was indeed here, she could not help but ask.
It was now mid-September, and the summer heat was gone, but the autumn tigers were not to be underestimated.
"Xiaochu woke up. Did you sleep well? Before leaving, the Young Master specifically told me not to disturb you, saying that you've been tired recently. " When Steward Yao saw An Xiaochu, his expression naturally became dubious.
You must know, last night, An Xiaochu was carried back by the young master. And young master, he was still sleeping in An Xiaochu's room last night!
"It's pretty good, Uncle Yao, why do I feel like you're weird?" That kiss last night took away most of An Xiaochu's memories, she could vaguely remember when she followed Qin Ziang back, she fell asleep in the carriage. After that, she didn't know anything.
As for sleeping in the same bed as Qin Ziang, An Xiaochu was completely unaware! There was no helping it, she was the only one on the bed when she got up.
"I didn't. Xiaochu, stop working already. Let's take a walk around the garden and see how the flowers and plants are growing." Seeing that An Xiaochu had pulled up her skirt as she squatted down and started to pull the grass, Steward Yao hurriedly stopped her. What a joke, this was someone of the young master's kind. If she was to be exposed to the sun, the young master would definitely skin him alive!
"That's fine, I'll come back and help you in the afternoon. Anyway, I'm quite free today."
Steward Yao smiled and nodded. He led An Xiaochu and chatted as they walked, talking about normal topics that didn't bother them at all.
"Uncle Yao, when will the flower bloom?" An Xiaochu pointed at the Blue Rose she grew that day, her tone filled with anticipation.
She hadn't had time to come to the garden lately, and the flowers had grown so tall.
"Blooming. I really don't know about that. Young Master asked someone to take care of all these Blue Rose, I rarely look after them. However, from the looks of it, it should be soon! "
An Xiaochu nodded her head, agreeing with Steward Yao's words. Looking at the time, she seemed to have known Qin Ziang for quite a few months!
— —
"Aunt Zhang, where did An Xiaochu go?"
Aunt Zhang raised her head in bewilderment. These words sounded familiar!
"Good afternoon, young master. Miss An seems to have left by himself in the afternoon." Qin Ziang had not even stepped into the villa, and upon hearing what Aunt Zhang said, his handsome features unconsciously creased.
The thing in his hand twisted a little as he moved.
"The Young Master is back. Are you enjoying your meeting with Mister Shen? How has he been recently?" Hearing Qin Ziang's voice, the Steward Yao came out of the house in quick steps.
"Hmm, not bad. He said he had time to see you." The "Mister Shen" that Steward Yao had mentioned was Qin Ziang's high school classmate who was also his best friend. The two of them had been in love since they met each other in high school until now. In his high school days, Shen Rui would often eat at the Qin family, so he was naturally familiar with the Steward Yao.
"Hehe, it's hard for him to still remember this old bone of mine." Shen Rui was born into a school and studied abroad for many years before returning back home.
"He was just thinking about you cooking, Uncle Yao, when An Xiaochu comes back, ask her to come find me." Qin Ziang was obviously in a good mood today, and she even went along with Steward Yao's words and started a joke.
"Yes, young master." Steward Yao replied behind Qin Ziang, all smiles.
It had only been a short while, but the young master couldn't help but want to see Xiao Chu. It seemed that the relationship between the two of them had advanced by leaps and bounds! That was good, so he could finally account for the two ladies in the old house.

An Xiaochu strolled around, completely unaware that someone was missing her.
She accidentally walked to the vicinity of the 'Century Home', thinking that she hadn't returned for quite some time. Coincidentally, she also brought a key, so An Xiaochu decided to go back and take a look.
Compared to Qin Ziang's lofty villa, the scenery of the small plot of land was like the harmonious and warm breath of life.
An Xiaochu slowly walked up the stairs. The house was filled with information about her existence.
"Eh …" The green loli in the corner was somewhat shrivelled up. It must be because it had not been watered for a long time, An Xiaochu hurriedly took out the sprinkling and watered the green luo.
The green carrot still hung in the air, and every leaf was hanging, giving off a grayish feeling.
This pot of green carrot was something that Qin Ziang had specially asked someone to move over from her previous nest. Thinking about this name, An Xiaochu unknowingly felt her heart palpitate. The light kiss from last night echoed in her mind for the whole day. She was in the garden, her bedroom, her living room or a corner of the villa.
She couldn't stand her flustered self any longer, so she hid herself. He never thought that he would still be able to think of Qin Ziang's shadow here.
An Xiaochu's head shook even more violently than that pot of green luo. She let out a heavy sigh as she walked out of the house while carrying the green luo.
"An Xiaochu?" Someone called her?
An Xiaochu suspected that she had heard wrongly. She did not know anyone in this' Century Home '.
"It's really you!" The sound of high heels hitting the ground came from behind him. An Xiaochu turned around, her beautiful face showing slight surprise.
"Supervisor Meng, you also live here?" He had never seen Meng Minyue here before.
"My parents live here. I'll take advantage of the time on the weekend to take a look." Meng Minyue stood firmly in front of An Xiaochu. She first habitually swept her eyes over An Xiaochu from top to bottom, then slowly spoke.
"Oh, then you do what you need to do. I'll be leaving first. Goodbye!" Today, Meng Minyue's tone of voice was surprisingly gentle. An Xiaochu reckoned that it was because she had returned the position of being in charge to her.
"Wait, An Xiaochu, are you that afraid of me? Say a few words to me, and I'll be able to eat you? " Meng Minyue had always wanted to find a chance to talk to An Xiaochu alone, and today was the right time.
"Supervisor Meng, do we really need to choke on each other like this?" Meng Minyue took the initiative to stop her, most likely because he had something to say. However, An Xiaochu was not interested in what she wanted to say.
"There's a coffee shop over there. We'll talk inside." Meng Minyue choked when she said that, her well-described eyebrows knitted together as she pointed to the opposite side of the small area.
"I'm sorry, I still have things to do." To drink coffee with someone that didn't like him and didn't like him was simply asking for trouble, An Xiaochu decisively rejected him.
"I have something to talk to you about." Meng Minyue immediately snatched away the green luo from An Xiaochu's hands and walked towards the coffee shop with quick steps.
