"Why not?" Mrs. Ou stayed in the garden and witnessed the entire process of An Xiaochu being 'bullied'.

"I didn't know how to reply."

An Xiaochu told her honestly. She couldn't say things like Cheng Hui did that were 'dirty'.

"Is that so?" Mrs. Ou obviously did not believe him. She remembered clearly that at the very beginning, An Xiaochu had gone for revenge against Cheng Hui.

An Xiaochu laughed and no longer explained. She couldn't exactly tell Mrs. Ou that she was thinking of a way to get rid of Cheng Hui once and for all. As long as she took care of Cheng Hui, she would not have to hide her head anymore.

"How far have you and Qin Ziang progressed?" Why were so many people concerned about her love life recently? An Xiaochu felt helpless, this Mrs. Ou was also very direct.

"You misunderstand. The two of us are friends." An Xiaochu explained in a gentle voice, but she was still worried. She should be considered a friend with Qin Ziang now!

"If you don't want to say that I don't force you, why lie?" With just a few words, An Xiaochu had a new understanding of this Mrs. Ou with a noble temperament. Although she looked cold, she was actually straightforward. It was easy to get along with such people.

The two of them chatted for a while. Mrs. Ou must have been bored and left after greeting them.

looked at Mrs. Ou's back and laughed. Just as she was about to go back to the hall, the scene of Qin Ziang and Lin Zhi together suddenly flashed through her mind.

She was the only one left. An Xiaochu no longer hid her emotions, the smile on her face disappeared and a layer of dust also covered her bright eyes.

An Xiaochu felt a weird feeling in her heart, even she herself did not know if she was causing trouble for Cheng Hui or something else.

An Xiaochu followed the scent and walked deeper into the flower garden. As expected, she found a small laurel tree in an unknown corner.

Its existence was incompatible with the garden's strange flowers and grasses, like the world outside and his own clothes. This kind of garden matched the precious flowers and plants.

An Xiaochu didn't know how long she had been squatting there, but when she felt that her legs were numb, she got up and slowly walked towards the banquet hall.

Just as Qin Ziang left the banquet hall, he ran into the soulless An Xiaochu. Seeing that she didn't seem to see him, he sat down on a flowerbed. He became anxious and called out An Xiaochu's name, ignoring his image.

An Xiaochu was shocked. She turned her head around and walked over quickly with her slender legs.

"Where did you run off to, do you know that it will make people worry? An Xiaochu, I just told you that I would let you have a long snack. In the end, I turned around and someone bullied you again. Where did you run off to? "

Qin Ziang pinched An Xiaochu's shoulder as if he had let down a steel plate and wished that he could poke a hole in An Xiaochu's head to see what was inside.

"Why are you so fierce?" It's not like I'm disturbing your good news! " An Xiaochu originally did not feel well about this, but now that sshe had been taught a lesson by Qin Ziang, he felt even more wronged. She mumbled with a low voice.

"What good thing? An Xiaochu, you are deliberately making life difficult for me today, aren't you? Qin Ziang glared at An Xiaochu snappily, only to realize that her eyes were already sparkling and translucent.

"What's wrong?" An Xiaochu had always looked as if she was filled with vitality in front of him, but now that she was in such a fragile state, Qin Ziang was at a loss for what to do. His voice had clearly softened. The scolding attitude from before was no longer there.

"Nothing, the banquet is over?" An Xiaochu was obviously trying to cover it up. She wanted to continue asking, but she was afraid that her eyes would turn red so she suddenly had a difficult feeling.

"Time to go home." Qin Ziang held An Xiaochu's hand and led her out of the banquet hall.

The night of the end of September was cold, and the cold was approaching. An Xiaochu subconsciously shivered as she stopped in her tracks. She quickly took off her suit jacket and covered her body. However, An Xiaochu's shoulder was just too thin, and kept falling. Qin Ziang was helpless, he could only hold An Xiaochu's shoulders and help her hold on to her clothes.

If An Xiaochu wanted to refuse, she could definitely put it on. But Qin Ziang just tightly hugged her shoulders and did not let her move.

Returning to the carriage, An Xiaochu's mood gradually became tranquil.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" It wasn't a good idea to be stuck like this.

Ever since he heard the words of the Mrs. Ou, Qin Ziang had been filled with questions waiting for An Xiaochu to answer. What exactly happened between her and that Cheng Hui girl, would cause their two best friends to clash with each other. Only when he knew what was going on, would he be able to comfort her. After getting along with him for the past few days, Qin Ziang was clear in his heart that although An Xiaochu may seem strong, his heart was actually soft to the point of being a mess.

If she didn't find the root of the problem, it might forever be a scar on her heart.

"Don't want to tell me, or is it inconvenient to tell me? An Xiaochu, do you think that I am trustworthy? "

Qin Ziang continued to ask but he did not want to find out more about her. He hoped that he had heard everything related to her with his own ears.

"You're thinking too much." An Xiaochu didn't know how to start something like this.

"How about this, I'll ask once, and you answer me once."

This woman was always so stubborn. Qin Ziang seized the opportunity when An Xiaochu was relieved, and retreated to advance.

"If you don't say anything, then take it as you have agreed." You and Cheng Hui were best friends in the past, but did you break off due to a man? "

When he said the words' because of the man ', Qin Ziang's tone did not sound good. The Mrs. Ou told him everything that had happened in the garden. With his intelligence, it was not hard for him to guess the reason.

However, Qin Ziang was unable to fully understand the Mrs. Ou's attitude at the moment. That woman, who was as noble as the bright moon in the sky, who didn't even care about her own relatives, was actually so concerned about a An Xiaochu she had never met before.

Qin Ziang's mind could not help but think of the matter where the Mrs. Ou had personally called him, asking him to bring An Xiaochu to tonight's banquet.

However, the most important thing right now was An Xiaochu!

"How do you know?" An Xiaochu shouted in surprise. Qin Ziang was too mysterious.

"Okay, I got it. Next question, did Cheng Hui do something that let you down? "

"Yes."

"You stole your boyfriend?"

"Yes." Qin Ziang's face turned ugly.

"How many times have you been in love before?"

"Once, well — that doesn't seem to be the case." This time, Qin Ziang's face was completely black, the anger that was filling his heart had nowhere to vent, so he could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Why did Qin Ziang just change the topic? An Xiaochu quickly shut her mouth, no longer giving Qin Ziang the chance to talk.

"I have a rough understanding of the situation. Are you sure you don't want to tell me about it? Can you even tell me a little about it?"

They had only dated once, and her boyfriend had been snatched away by her best friend. An Xiaochu's experience was indeed tragic. If not for the fact that he still wanted to ask An Xiaochu a question, he would have pinched An Xiaochu's chin and asked. It was obviously his woman, why did she mess around with other men?

"You gossip!" An Xiaochu hugged her seat belt and closed her eyes to rest, as if she did not want to continue chatting at all.

The coldness around Qin Ziang became increasingly dense, and instead of being concerned about her, he viewed him as a gossiper, a person who did not recognize the kindness of others.

An Xiaochu realized that she was angry.

— —

Since it was too late and she still had to go to work tomorrow, An Xiaochu thought to herself that she would find a chance to coax Qin Ziang again tomorrow. Who knew that when she woke up early in the morning, not a single shadow of Qin Ziang was around. It was only after she asked Steward Yao about it that she found out that Qin Ziang had temporarily gone on a business trip last night.

A week quietly passed by. After An Xiaochu was transferred to the basic level position, every day, she would start and work at the right time, and her days would be much easier than before. In the company, there were fewer rumors about her, and she made a few good friends. Logically speaking, everything was progressing in a favorable direction.

Except for someone who had disappeared.

Ever since that night when they parted on bad terms, An Xiaochu had never mentioned Qin Ziang again. There was no text message, no phone call, even the Steward Yao rarely mentioned Qin Ziang.

Every day, after work, An Xiaochu would subconsciously glance once at the roadside. The result was naturally disappointment.

"Xiaochu, are you off work now? Do you need me to send a car to take you to the mansion?" Just as An Xiaochu walked out of the company's entrance, a call from Steward Yao came in.

Only then did she remember that it was Mrs. Qin's Yan Qing's birthday. A simple birthday banquet was prepared for her in the Qin family's main house. An Xiaochu, as the Qin family's girlfriend, naturally received the invitation.

An Xiaochu originally did not plan to go, but after thinking about the fact that Qin Ziang did not want to get married, she agreed to go after work.

"No need, I can just take a taxi."

The taxi driver was a talkative person, talking with An Xiaochu the whole way. Waiting until their destination, she didn't forget to remind An Xiaochu that it wasn't easy to marry into such a good family.

An Xiaochu laughed helplessly, then nodded towards the driver, slowly walking into the Qin family's big house. She was merely Qin Ziang's shield, the driver really didn't have a good eye.

"Yo, daughter-in-law Sun, why did you just arrive? Grandmother has been fat for so long!" Once again stepping into the Qin family's gate, and Grandma Qin stood at the door to greet him, An Xiaochu instantly felt a mountain of pressure. Thinking about her fake identity, she felt a little awkward and guilty. The people of the Qin family were truly good to her, and she helped Qin Ziang in this way could be considered to be deceiving the feelings of the Qin family.

"Grandma Qin, are you alright? Let me help you enter. " An Xiaochu quickly held the old man's arm, and the two of them walked inside the room.

"Very good, do you believe that I can still hug my great-grandson?"

Every time she didn't say three sentences, Grandma Qin would definitely bring up her great-grandson. An Xiaochu expressed helplessness in her heart, this was the reason why she had never dared to come to the Qin family mansion.

The meaning behind urging a marriage wasn't too obvious!
