Qiao Nan's eyes flashed, he avoided her gaze and said: "Now is another time, I don't wish for you to wade into this muddy water anymore."

Qiao Xuan heard something and she leaned over to look into his eyes and asked: "Xiao Nan, are you hiding something from me?"

"No …." "No." Seeing that Qiao Xuan was suspicious, Qiao Nan immediately stood up, "I'm going to sleep, you should go to sleep as well."

Qiao Xuan watched him escape and was even more sure that he knew something, but he was unwilling to tell her.

She sat outside for a while, feeling a little dizzy, and then went back to her room to sleep, but the whole night she felt as if she were stepping on cotton, or as if she were in deep water, tossing and turning, but she couldn't wake up no matter what.

It was only on the morning of the second day that Qiao’s mother woke her up and discovered that her body was burning hot to the point that it was terrifying. He immediately called for Qiao’s father and Qiao Nan to send her to the hospital.

It was as if she had had a long dream. She dreamt of the little bits and pieces of the oil painting that had walked with Sheng Liang, of the oil painting that had not been completely filled up yet, and of the new Begonia flower that had been planted in his courtyard.

She dreamt that the Begonia had bloomed, and she and Sheng Liang stood under the tree. He kissed her forehead so gently, and he said, "I hope that they can continue to do this in the future."

Qiao Xuan knew that she was dreaming, but she didn't want to wake up. The him in reality would definitely not hug her like this.

Seeing that Qiao Xuan was still unconscious, and the heat had not left his body, Qiao’s mother wiped tears of pity on his face.

Qiao Nan could not watch anymore. He walked out of the sickroom and stood at the door for a moment, then rushed out of the hospital without looking back. He took a taxi and went straight to Golden Age.

Disregarding the obstruction of the two assistants, Qiao Nan barged into Sheng Liang's office. Although he saw that there was someone else inside, he still said to Sheng Liang: "Don't continue, end it, you can't be so selfish and cause my sister to become like this just for yourself. Do you know that she's in the hospital right now, and half her life is going to end soon!"

Sheng Liang listened until he finished speaking, but still said with an indifferent face: "Sheng Hua has already entered the prison, and the agreement between her and I has already come to an end. I no longer have any relationship with her."

Qiao Nan looked at him with furrowed brows. "So, what you said to me before was a lie. From start to finish, you never thought about being with my sister!"

Sheng Liang looked at him with eyes that couldn't tell his mood, and now, it was as if there was a layer of contempt within them. "Who do you think you're talking to, people like you, what rights do you have to negotiate with me?"

Qiao Nan clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and said: "Sheng Liang, today, I must seek justice for my sister!"

As he said that, he rushed towards Sheng Liang. He never thought that this man could be so compassionate!

However, before he could even reach Sheng Liang, he was already restrained by the security guards who had rushed over.

"Young Master Liang, should we send him to the police station?" the security guard asked.

Sheng Liang waved his hands and walked in front of Qiao Nan. He crouched down and looked at who was pressed to the ground by the security guard, then said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell Qiao Xuan not to think of doing nothing, and not to threaten me with her death. I, hate people's threats the most."

Qiao Nan glared at him fiercely: "Just you wait, I won't let you be so proud."

Sheng Liang looked at him, but did not say anything. He only waved his hand to allow the security guards to bring Qiao Nan out.

Qi Chu watched from the side. Only when Qiao Nan was taken away did he ask: "Is his sister Qiao Xuan?"

Sheng Liang nodded his head: "Before, in order to take Sheng Hua down, I had used the two siblings, however, I had already given them a corresponding reward, I never expected them to be so reckless."

Qi Chu laughed: "Everyone wants to take a shortcut, that's right, but I have a good impression of that Qiao Xuan. If Little Luo didn't come back, I also hope that you could be with her."

Sheng Liang lowered his head and drank a mouthful of coffee, then he looked at Yue Yang with furrowed brows, "Are you joking?"

Qi Chu only smiled. After a long while, he finally said: "When are you free for these two days? My dad said that he's treating you to dinner at home."

Sheng Liang hurriedly said: "I should have gone to visit long ago. Let's go tonight, I'll make some arrangements."

"Alright," Qi Chu stood up and said, "Then you can busy yourself, I'll be leaving first."

After walking to the door, Qi Chu suddenly turned around and said to Sheng Liang: "That Miss Qiao, you should go take a look. After all, she is innocent."

Sheng Liang said lightly: "I don't know how to treat women as you do. I only have one woman."

Qi Chu smirked: "I'm just making a suggestion, whether I do it or not will all be up to you."

Watching Qi Chu close the door and leave, Sheng Liang took the coffee and walked to the window, looking outside with a heavy gaze.

Luo Jie pushed the door and entered. He looked at Sheng Liang and asked: "How about I go to the hospital to take a look at Miss Qiao?"

"Don't be nosy." Sheng Liang turned around and sat back on the chair, then said to Luo Jie, "Go and help me prepare a present, tonight I'm going to visit Mayor Qi."

Luo Jie nodded his head: "I understand, I will go now."

When he closed the door, Luo Jie looked at Sheng Liang who was immersed in his work. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he did not.

The gift that Luo Jie picked out was a painting. Although it was not the ancient sacred hand, it was still from a famous expert of the times. Qi Mingyu smiled when she saw it, "Young Master Liang is so considerate."

"Mayor Qi, please call me Sheng Liang." Sheng Liang said respectfully.

Qi Chu smiled from the side: "It's not the first time you two have met, why are you being so courteous? Sheng Liang, you should call me Father and Uncle."

Qi Mingyu ordered someone to put away the calligraphy and paintings. She sat on the sofa and said, "Right, right, right, call me uncle. We will be family from now on, don't be so strange."

Sheng Liang nodded: "Uncle Qi."

Qi Mingyu slapped her leg and laughed, then asked Qi Chu, "Where's your sister, why hasn't she come out yet? Sheng Liang has already been here for a long time, what is she doing?"

"Maybe she's dressing up. Girls all love to be beautiful." Qi Chu said with a smile, but it was obvious that he was concealing it.

Qi Mingyu seemed a little displeased, she said to the auntie, "Go ask Little Luo to hurry up and come out, let's dawdle for a bit, what are you saying?"

"I'll go find her." Sheng Liang immediately said.

Qi Mingyu nodded, "Alright."

Sheng Liang was extremely familiar with Qi Luo's room. During the period of time she disappeared, he would find an excuse to come to the Qi household and then sit in her room in a daze.

And now, when he opened the door, she was inside.

Sheng Liang looked at the absent-minded Qi Luo who was sitting on the bed, walked over and hugged her gently, "What are you thinking about?"

"My brother said that you want to marry me, is that true?" Qi Luo looked at a certain place with empty eyes, and asked with a clear voice.
