"Well, I don't know. Qin Ziang hurriedly gave me a call, telling me to come and find you from over 100 kilometers away. " Shen Rui spoke the truth. When An Xiaochu heard his words, her face changed.

"Did something happen to him?"

"The calamity has lasted for a thousand years. Believe me, Qin Ziang definitely has the longest lifespan." Shen Rui teased, ignoring An Xiaochu's unfathomable expression. What right did he have to let the couple torment him?!

Shen Rui's words were equivalent to nothing, but the unease in his heart was quickly spreading.

An Xiaochu took out her phone from her bag with shaking hands. After pressing a few times on the screen, there was no reaction, only then did she realize that she was out of battery.

Seeing that An Xiaochu was not in a good state, the Lady Boss quickly passed her phone over to An Xiaochu.

As if grabbing onto her lifeline, An Xiaochu did not even have time to thank them as she quickly dialed a number.

"Qin Ziang!"

After a few days, when Qin Ziang heard An Xiaochu's voice on the phone, he was in a daze.

"An Xiaochu, where did you run off to? There's no news from you at all! How are you? Did something happen to you? " Qin Ziang held onto the phone with her right hand, her face completely black. This was the prelude to a storm.

"Are you worried about me?" On the other side of the phone, Qin Ziang's voice that was filled with energy, dispelled the worry in An Xiaochu's heart. He even felt a bit of secret joy in her heart.

Not knowing which tendons were in the wrong, An Xiaochu asked in return. Qin Ziang's face had — stiffened!

"I have to see you by tomorrow morning at the latest!" Qin Ziang bellowed as he tried to avoid An Xiaochu's question. He anxiously tried to find An Xiaochu, was it really because of the key!

He refused to think or answer this question!

"I've only been out for two days." If An Xiaochu was in front of her now, Qin Ziang would definitely choke her to death.

"With that IQ of yours, wouldn't two days be enough to kill you?" Between the two of them, they would never learn to speak properly. The lake in An Xiaochu's heart, which was unable to calm down, instantly exploded.

"Nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth, I'm not talking to you anymore!" An Xiaochu angrily hung up the phone, only to realise that everyone was looking at her strangely.

An Xiaochu looked back suspiciously.

"You dare to scold Qin Ziang, you have guts!" Shen Rui was the first to regain his senses, smiling at An Xiaochu. He was originally the color of the dawn, his face like peach blossoms. Now, with such a charming smile, the Lady Boss almost drooled on the floor.

Seeing this, the boss hurriedly pulled the Lady Boss away!

The backpacker hesitated for two seconds before silently leaving. In the small hotel lobby, only An Xiaochu and Shen Rui stood facing each other.

"What did Qin Ziang say to you just now that made you so angry? "Tell me about it?" Shen Rui's feelings for An Xiaochu had reversed the disappointment he had when they first met, and became very passionate.

Having seen the interaction between An Xiaochu and herself, Shen Rui was truly impressed to the point that he prostrated himself in front of An Xiaochu! For a delicate and weak girl to have the courage to defeat Qin Ziang, was it really worth it for her to treat him differently?!

"Tell you what?" How about I give you a call and you personally ask Qin Ziang? " An Xiaochu liked Shen Rui's appearance, which was even more charming than a woman's.

But he was too gossipy, he intentionally guided her so that she would think that something was wrong with Qin Ziang.

"Xiaochu, you're so unkind!" Shen Rui called out An Xiaochu's name in an extremely natural manner.

"You speak as if you had." The two fought back and forth, quickly getting familiar with each other.

The more they interacted, the more 'Shen Rui appreciated' An Xiaochu. Only this kind of woman would be able to fight against Qin Ziang. In the future, there would be a good show to watch.

Shen Rui happily prepared to stay by An Xiaochu's side to 'protect' her and take a break!

With Qin Ziang at the front as a shield, he could finally find an honorable reason to take a vacation. As a result, under An Xiaochu's contempt, Shen Rui decided to stay in the tavern.

— —

Qin Ziang didn't sleep a wink the whole night.

Seeing that his expression wasn't good, the Steward Yao honestly told him the reason why An Xiaochu lost contact with him yesterday.

An Xiaochu actually dared to stay with an unfamiliar man for such a long period of time, and was overjoyed. Qin Ziang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Thinking back to last night when she requested for An Xiaochu to go back home and was rejected, his handsome face became even more furious.

An Xiaochu was thousands of miles away, so he couldn't take care of her. But someone had to pay for his anger.

Shen Rui very 'fortunately' became that unlucky bastard, but he clearly carried the 'expectation' of Qin Ziang bringing him back, and yet he changed his mind midway!

Shen Rui who was in the middle of a beautiful dream was woken up by the endless ringing of a bell, causing him to grope for his phone in confusion.

"Hey, who's disturbing my sweet dreams so early in the morning!" Sigh ~ ~ ~ Is it the Uncle Yao? "Hahaha, I heard that your ears weren't good, you didn't hallucinate just now did you?"

When Shen Rui was young, he would often follow Qin Ziang to his house to trouble the Uncle Yao. From the bottom of his heart, he treated Steward Yao as his own elder.

"Young Master Shen Rui, Young Master would like to invite you back immediately." If it wasn't for Qin Ziang who was watching them covetously from the side, Steward Yao really wanted to scold them as "stinking brat".

"Now? Tell him that I want to accompany An Xiaochu to sightsee, I don't have time! " Shen Rui maintained that he had An Xiaochu as a shield, so he was not afraid of anything, and did not care about whether Qin Ziang would take care of him or not.

"Young Master, Young Master Shen Rui said that he will accompany Xiao Chu to play in W Town." The original narration of the Steward Yao.

The coffee cup in Qin Ziang's hand thumped on the table, causing brown liquid to splatter everywhere. The Steward Yao lowered his head and pointed the microphone in Qin Ziang's direction, trying his best to reduce the feeling of his own existence. His past experience had told him that when Qin Ziang was angry, it would be best for him to remain silent, so as to avoid disaster.

"Give him two choices. First, come back now, and second, never come back!" Qin Ziang practically squeezed these words out of his teeth.

Shen Rui vaguely heard Qin Ziang's voice and was so shocked that he almost jumped up from his bed.

What others say when they are angry and anxious are words that cannot be taken for granted.

However, Qin Ziang was not human. The more he spoke angrily, the more he took it seriously. In the past, Shen Rui had once provoked the furious Qin Ziang, and after that, he had almost fallen into a mental illness from fright.

The rest of them woke up.

Before An Xiaochu and the backpacker left the room, they were blocked inside the door frame by Shen Rui.

"It's still early in the morning. Is he still not awake?" An Xiaochu looked at Shen Rui whose clothes were in a mess, and suspected that he was in a state of sleepwalking.

"Xiao Chu, An Xiaochu, Miss An, save me!" Shen Rui dragged An Xiaochu along and told her to pack up and go back immediately.

"What are you doing? Why are you being so surprised? Didn't you say that you would return in a few days?" After coming out with great difficulty to relax, An Xiaochu hadn't even finished looking through the ancient town, so of course she wasn't willing to go back.

"Qin Ziang is waiting for you at home. The most important thing is, he threatened me! If I don't go back now, I'm going to stay in this shitty place all my life. "Xiao Chu, you're the best. You definitely won't be willing to part with my lifeless body here, right?"

Shen Rui begged An Xiaochu bitterly, the perverse look on his face was hard to see.

"Your legs are growing on your body, Shen Rui, can't you be a bit more mature!"

An Xiaochu knew very well about Qin Ziang's style of doing things. Seeing that Shen Rui was so afraid, he still felt a little disdainful.

Shen Rui clenched his teeth, his eyes full of determination.

"If you don't come with me, I'll knock you out. Do you believe me?" Such a vulgar threat came from the mouth of a man with a face like a peach blossom.

The visual impact was huge! An Xiaochu exclaimed.

"I don't believe you."

"You're the one who forced me, don't report me!" Shen Rui, who was still in a pitiful state a moment ago, suddenly stood up and slashed at the back of An Xiaochu's neck.

A second before An Xiaochu became dizzy, she could vaguely see the face of the backpacker.

— —

In the villa.

Qin Ziang stood on the balcony with a heavy pressure. Steward Yao walked back and forth twice, but when the words came to his mouth, he was still hesitating whether he should say it or not.

Thinking about Mrs. Qin and Old Madam Qin's instructions, Steward Yao clenched his teeth.

"Young Master, I want to talk to you about something."

Qin Ziang's stomach was filled with anger, he had no desire to speak at all. Hearing the Steward Yao's voice, he did not express anything. Only, his amber eyes blinked a little, signalling the Steward Yao to continue.

"Madam wants you to go on a blind date tomorrow. The target is the younger daughter of the neighbouring Ruan Family. "When do you think we'll have time tomorrow?"

A blind date! Qin Ziang did not expect Steward Yao to say this, and his face froze. In his mind, he suddenly thought about what An Xiaochu had said before she left. An Xiaochu also supported him going on a blind date!

This' other person ', was actually referring to An Xiaochu!

"Not going." After coldly spitting out these two words, Qin Ziang closed his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Steward Yao mustered his courage and continued to advise.

"Young Master, this isn't good. Xiao Chu has purposely left. If you don't go on a blind date, wouldn't it be unfair to her?"

It was fine if he didn't have such good intentions!

"Who does An Xiaochu think she is? Why should I listen to her?" She wants me to go, but I just have to! " Qin Ziang was enraged, he wanted to strangle An Xiaochu to death.

Since when had she been the one to make the arrangements for Qin Ziang's marriage? The rage that soared to the sky masked the truest emotions. The amber eyes gradually turned black, and veins began to appear on his handsome face. Bang! Qin Ziang's fist struck the white lacquer railings. Steward Yao looked at him with a pained expression as he resisted the urge to go forward to advise him otherwise. After walking over for a while, Qin Ziang seemed to have calmed down a little, and slowly spat out a few words.

"Young Master, do you mind if Xiao Chu chooses your matchmaking partner, or if it's not Xiao Chu?"

What did he care!?

Qin Ziang raised his hand to signal the Steward Yao to leave while looking at the clouds in the sky.

Initially, he had approached An Xiaochu and purposely treated her well, clearly wanting to lure her into revealing the location of the key. The two of them had known each other for a long time. Although he was often angered by An Xiaochu to the point of jumping, when he calmed down, he would reflect on it.

How could An Xiaochu move all of his cells?
