Zhu Jiangci logged out of the game and helped Fu Yanzhi find a spot in the game before he got up and left.

At the door he could hear the laughter and her soft, gentle voice.

His words were filled with joy for another man. He did not go in, but stood by the door watching, and did not disturb her.

Seeing the smile on her face, Zhu Jiangci's heart sank.

He admitted that he wasn't able to make Su Qiao An smile as happily and freely as she did, nor was he able to make her so unperturbed.

There was no doubt that Su Qiao An loved him.

However, that love was not as hot and flawless as before. There were too many complex emotions mixed in her love.

Hatred, loss, bitterness.

As the sweetness was diluted, so was the joy.

She was still smiling, but a little less heartily.

Su Qiao An was not so relaxed by his side. Even if they had agreed not to reminisce about the past, those topics had still become taboo. Once they touched, the peace on the surface might be broken.

Mo Yunlang gave her meticulous care and concern, and Ai Weisi gave her warmth and happiness.

What about him?

What he gave seemed to be far less than what she was given.

Zhu Jiangci laughed at himself as he smiled, quietly standing outside the door and looking at her for a long time.

He waited until she had answered the phone before he went inside.

Su Qiao An was shocked when she saw him, "When did you come in?"

"Just now."

She heaved a sigh of relief. "Why don't we go back earlier?"

"Why? Didn't you say that you would stay for a few more days? "

"That …" As she thought about it, she felt that there was no need to hide this from Zhu Jiangci, "The one who called me just now was Li Quan."

"Hmm?"

"He told me that he will be returning to his country soon, so …" She paused and peeked at him tentatively. "I want to pick him up at the airport, okay?"

She had experienced Zhu Jiangci's desire for monopoly from the very beginning, and adding that Li Quan had caused such a ruckus in the past, honestly speaking, the distance between them should have been kept before.

But strangely, she could not treat Li Quan the way she treated him.

Li Quan seemed to be carefree and carefree, but his thoughts were more meticulous than anyone else.

He did not have many schemes and tricks up his sleeves, so he would not be too tired.

When she was with Mo Yunlang, she felt a faint barrier around her, wanting to pry into the secrets behind that gentle mask all the time.

Furthermore …

Li Quan didn't have any sort of love for her, but rather, seemed to be an old friend that they had known each other for many years.

She … I don't want to lose that friend.

She was afraid that Zhu Jiangci would mind, so she explained everything to him in advance and didn't hide it from him.

"Alright." Zhu Jiangci agreed quickly.

Su Qiao An was a little worried, "Are you sure it's possible? If you don't want to, I can go. "

"You said that you don't want to be trapped in a cage, and I also promised that I would learn to respect you. I won't restrict your right to be friends, and I won't restrict your personal freedom either. "But you have to remember that I'm still waiting for you. No matter how happy you are, you have to remember to go home."

She never imagined that Zhu Jiangci would lower himself in front of her. It was just as he said, he was slowly learning to respect her wishes.

He did very well, but he was not satisfied with it.

Su Qiao An reached out and cupped his face, staring seriously into his eyes. "If I had any other intentions, then I wouldn't agree to your request. Your position is different from the others." Otherwise, he wouldn't have pestered her for so many years and made her choose to forgive and compromise time and time again.

He would not tell Su Qiao An that he was not confident.

She had no confidence that she would be able to endure so many painful memories.

If it was said that Mo Yunlang's appearance gave him a warning, then Li Quan's appearance made him feel a sense of crisis.

One was someone who was completely opposite from him, someone who could make Su Qiao An happy.

Li Quan would do many things that would be difficult for him to try in his lifetime, and those things were exactly what Su Qiao An needed.

He did not feel safe, and was afraid that one day, Su Qiao An would be annoyed by him and she would turn towards another man's embrace.

Su Qiao An vaguely sensed that the atmosphere was a little tense, she suggested, "Why don't we invite Miss Shen for dinner? Think of it as us treating Wen Haoran's fiancee for dinner to congratulate them on their engagement? "

"Tomorrow then," Zhu Jiangci looked at the time, "It's too late today, I've already booked a meal for you."

She nodded, no objection.

It didn't matter whether she ate with Shen Ninghuan or not. The main reason was that she didn't want to get caught up in that strange atmosphere.

— —

Shen Ning Huan stayed in the room that the production team had booked a long time ago. After packing her luggage, the first thing she did was to call Shen Ningqing to inform him that she was safe.

Shen Ningqing nagged on for a long time, "You, a girl, have to be careful when you're out alone, and have to be careful in hotels. If anyone knocks on the door, don't open it casually, don't play games until the middle of the night without sleeping, rest early, understand?"

Shen Ning Huan agreed one after the other.

"The filming crew definitely doesn't have accurate accuracy. Don't blindly meddle in it, you can go take a look and enjoy the fun, don't stay up late." Shen Ningqing was worried that Shen Ning Huan would run to the western Yue State alone. It was just that he still had something important to investigate, so he couldn't leave his body to accompany her.

As for her fiance …

From the start, he didn't want to admit that Wen Haoran was his brother-in-law, and it was even more impossible for him to let Wen Haoran follow the two of them out of the city.

At that time, even if the Emperor was far away, he wouldn't be able to take care of Shen Ning Huan.

"Brother, have you noticed that you're becoming more and more feminine?" I know how to take care of myself. Besides, I'm not the only person on the crew who lives here, and everyone is here, so you can rest assured that I'm safe. Oh right, the CEO of the Chu Group and his wife are also staying in this hotel.

"Chu?" Shen Ningqing heard the important point, "Are you saying that Zhu Jiangci and his wife are also in the Western Yue?"

"Yeah, when we went to register at the hotel, I bumped into them in the hotel lobby and even greeted them. His wife seems to be easy to get along with and very amiable."

"Don't go near them." Shen Ningqing was especially stern, "Whether it's people from the Chu Clan or Zhu Jiangci's wife, both of you are not allowed to get close, so don't interact with them too much."
