Cheng Yichen suddenly flipped over and walked towards the bathroom, and only when he heard the sound of water splashing into the bathroom, did Jiang Ruoqing finally heave a sigh of relief, sat up and tidied up his clothes.

It took him half an hour to get out of the bathroom. When he came out, he was wrapped in a bathrobe, his wet hair dripping with water and his face pale.

"Come and blow-dry my hair."

"Me?" Jiang Ruoqing asked with her eyes wide open.

"Do you think I'm talking to a ghost?"

Jiang Ruoqing sensed his deep resentment, pouted her lips, took out a hair dryer to blow on his hair, and when she touched his hair, she subconsciously retracted her hand, "You're not going to bathe in cold water, are you?"

She didn't say anything more. She carelessly blew on his hair. His hair was neither long nor short. It was very smooth, and the smell of shampoo actually made him feel very warm.

However, the warmth could not last long, it was extremely similar to her current life, living by Cheng Yichen's side as if she was treading on thin ice. Sighing, she felt annoyed in her heart, why did he not allow her to interfere in her father's matters? He forbade her to interfere!

Furthermore, he also needed to find out why he had a grudge with his father. However, this process would definitely not be simple, especially after his father sentenced him, it would be even more difficult to reverse the case.

"It's very hot! What are you thinking about? " An irritable male voice rang out, and only then did she come back to her senses.

"Nothing."

Cheng Yichen's sharp eyes stared at the little woman who was blow-drying her hair absentmindedly in front of the mirror, and his brows knitted slightly. Today, he thought that she would leave in a loud voice, and would be sad from being wronged, but he didn't expect that he didn't see any of these emotions on her face.

Instead, she stayed by his side and bickered with him as if nothing had happened. He really didn't know if this woman was really stupid or just faking it. Even if she stayed by his side for the rest of her life, he wouldn't help her with anything.

"Hey, wasn't I at the wrong time?" Xiao Nansheng walked in with a smile on his face and winked at Cheng Yichen, "You two look like you have a good relationship with each other, but I am too curious, what did you do last night? "He hit his head so hard?"

Although Jiang Ruoqing's face did not reveal any expression, deep down, he was still a bit disgusted. She did not like the way Xiao Nansheng spoke.

"Why do you have to ask me if your imagination is so powerful?"

Xiao Nansheng touched Ding Zi, scratched his head and hair, then directly changed the medicine for him without saying a word. After changing the medicine, he then noticed the scar on Jiang Ruoqing's head.

"Why did both of your heads get hit?" "Chen, aren't you being too intense?" Xiao Nansheng winked at him, "I am truly impressed."

"Cut the crap." Cheng Yichen said in a bland voice. Sensing the displeasure in the bottom of Jiang Ruoqing's heart, he said to him, "You can go back."

"Destroying the bridge after crossing the river? You really are destroying the bridge after crossing the river. At least leave me for lunch." Xiao Nansheng acted as if he was his best friend, "Running back and forth is also tiring for me."

Cheng Yichen's eyelids twitched, "Mingyue is at home today."

Xiao Nansheng's expression instantly turned as if he had seen a ghost, he immediately carried his medical bag and said, "I remember I still have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first."

"Bye."

Jiang Ruoqing looked at Xiao Nansheng's figure that was walking far away, and could not help but ask: "What did your sister do to him?"

"Nothing much, I just want him to be my brother-in-law."

Jiang Ruoqing realised and nodded, "No wonder Xiao Nansheng was so scared."

Less than five minutes later, Cheng Mingmei, who was wearing pink Garfield Cat's Pajamas, rushed into the room with dishevelled hair. "Brother, where's Xiao Nansheng?"

"Let's go."

"She left? Why didn't anyone tell me he was coming? " Cheng Mingmei said with a face full of regret, "If I had known earlier, I would have stopped him yesterday night!"

After which, he walked out vexedly with a conflicted expression.

In the afternoon, Gu Meijiao was sick and she did not come for lunch. There were only the Cheng Family siblings and the two of them at the table.

This was also her second meal in Cheng Family. Thinking about how Gu Meijiao was probably depressed and did not come to lunch because of the teacup incident, and did not need to listen to Gu Meijiao's sarcastic complaints, she felt a lot more at ease.

"Hey, surnamed Jiang, I heard that you went to the side hall with my mother this morning and Xiao Ya broke the teacup? You didn't plot against Xiao Ya, did you? "

Jiang Ruoqing raised his head and did not answer, he just let her shout it out, but no one saw her retreat.

"She's your sister-in-law." Cheng Yichen ate gracefully, not forgetting to remind her of Jiang Ruoqing's identity.

Cheng Mingmei coldly snorted, and immediately changed the topic, "Brother, you still remember Wan'er, right?"

"What happened to her?"

"She's getting engaged. She sent two invitations."

Cheng Yichen's eyelids twitched, and said indifferently: "Got it."

"Do you know who his fiancé is? They are the sons of a certain leader, and their marriage could be said to be a strong and powerful alliance. Cheng Mingmei gnashed her teeth, as if she had a huge grudge with the Jin’s Group.

"It has nothing to do with us."

Cheng Mingmei pursed her lips, looking at him while hesitating to speak, in the end, she did not speak out the words inside her heart.

However, ever since Cheng Mingmei had revealed the news that they were going to be engaged, Jiang Ruoqing's heart had become a little strange. Although Lin Wenhao had betrayed her, she could not say in her heart that there was not a single place that belonged to him.

It's just that it's a little desolate now. An engagement could have been so simple, and for the sake of benefits, you can really choose someone you don't love to marry.

Just like her, she chose Cheng Yichen.

His throat felt like it was stuck with a fish bone. He couldn't go down, but it still hurt. He took a deep breath. He didn't want to think about it anymore. After all, it was already past.

"You know Lin Wenhao?"

Cheng Yichen's words caused her heart to suddenly rise up, looking at his probing eyes, he secretly calmed down: "I know, didn't we eat together last time?"

Did he sense something? Her actions the last time were so obvious, it wouldn't be strange if she really sensed something.

"Oh, I thought you knew each other before. He was looking at you strangely."

Jiang Ruoqing panicked a little, and her face was tainted with some unnaturalness, "You're thinking too much, right? I didn't know him before. "

"Can you not go to the engagement party? "I'm not used to a lively place."

The place she wasn't used to being boisterous might be true, but there was another reason was that she didn't want to see Lin Wenhao.

"Hey, Jiang, what qualifications do you have to ask my brother to change his mind for you?" Cheng Mingmei slammed her chopsticks on the table, "Of course brother will attend Jin’s Group's engagement banquet, humph!"

Jiang Ruoqing frowned, she did not understand why she suddenly became so angry, why must she attend the engagement ceremony? Cheng Yichen's ex-girlfriend was Jin Waner's cousin. Was Cheng Mingmei trying to help him out by looking so angry?

She was actually very curious about what Jin Waner's cousin had done to Cheng Yichen.

Cheng Yichen put down the chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin and said in a calm tone, "Mingmei, you have to change your temperament, or else you will be at a disadvantage."

The corner of Cheng Mingmei's mouth twitched, but it was so painful that she sucked in a breath of cold air. She then glared fiercely at Jiang Ruoqing, it was all because of this stinking woman that she was beaten up!

Even though her face was covered with a thick layer of powder and it was impossible to see the bruise on the corner of her mouth, she couldn't swallow her anger. Since when did she get called a panda eye? When did he get beaten up?

"Jiang, let me tell you, you and I are irreconcilable."

Jiang Ruoqing smiled, she shrugged: "It's up to you."

"I'm going to the office in the afternoon. You stay here and wait for the door to open before we go back to the apartment."

Go back to the door? The Second Uncle family in the church had made things so difficult for her, so how could she possibly go back? Besides, his father had been sentenced and she was in no mood to do anything.

"I don't want to go."

"Your Second Uncle called me to tell us to go back." Cheng Yichen's tone was calm and his expression did not reveal any flaw, "If he wants to apologize, then why hold back?"

Jiang Ruoqing opened her mouth but did not say the words out, "Alright, but I will come out with you in a while."

A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he said in a tone that carried some orders, "You're not allowed to drink alcohol!"

"I won't go to Charm."

Zhang Ran parked the car in front of the Cheng Family's big house and stood in front of the door. When he saw the wound on Cheng Yichen's head, he was startled.

"I got hit by a naughty kitten." After he finished speaking, his eyes deliberately swept over Jiang Ruoqing who was behind him.

"Cat? This cat deserves to die! " Zhang Ran said fiercely.

Jiang Ruoqing's face did not reveal any hint of shame, but instead, turned a deaf ear to their words. Since he had already said it herself, if her head was hit by a little cat, then it would have nothing to do with her.

They got in the car without saying anything. The two of them just sat there silently. Neither of them had any intention of talking to each other.

Cheng Yichen held onto a piece of information and read it carefully. Even if his head was injured, it would not affect his unique aura.

"Why is my father's case closed?"

Cheng Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly. This woman was not stupid, to actually catch the center of the matter in one fell swoop.

"You want to know the answer?" He turned and looked at Jiang Ruoqing's innocent face, "Go and check for yourself."

She glared at him angrily and muttered, "I knew I shouldn't have asked you. You'd better not talk to me and leak any information."

"I still have that sense of propriety."

"Hmph, Cheng Yichen, then you have to tell me if this was an intentional order or not. What exactly is behind this? "

"You ask when you know I won't, stupid woman." Cheng Yichen happily patted her head, "Someone has given the order on purpose. If you want to know, go investigate it yourself, but don't ask me again in the future."

Jiang Ruoqing glared at him in contempt and snorted coldly, "Marrying you is already a waste."

"Marrying you would be a waste of my time, I'm so stupid."

"If you feel so wronged, then divorce me."

"Who else would want you other than me?" Cheng Yichen let out a cold laugh, and used his slender fingers to grip her chin, seriously staring at her pair of clear and intelligent eyes, "Don't even think about escaping, you still owe me a lot."

Jiang Ruoqing angrily slapped his claws away. With such strength, would that dead man have any strength left to use?

She stared at him with disdain, "You stingy brat, you're so poor that you only have money left. Do you still care about how little I owe you?"

He laughed heartily with eyes as deep as ice. His lips curled up into a charming smile. "Cats catch mice. Do you know why I didn't eat them directly?"

Her expression turned ugly. Did this dead man liken her to a mouse?

"What's the point of eating it directly? It would be interesting to see him trying to run away and injure himself so badly. "
