She had slept very well in the first half of the night, to the point that An Xiaochu almost flipped Qin Ziang's sofa upside down later that night. Fortunately, Qin Ziang was sleeping soundly, otherwise, An Xiaochu reckoned that she would probably be silenced.

It wasn't until the sky gradually brightened that An Xiaochu finally squinted her eyes. When she woke up, it was already late in the morning outside.

Opening her eyes, An Xiaochu was stunned by the unfamiliar environment in which she was standing.

"Wake up quickly." Qin Ziang appeared in front of An Xiaochu in his sports attire. In the morning light, his figure was clean and his temperament was cold.

This is his room. An Xiaochu suddenly sat up. Didn't she sleep on the sofa? Why did she run all the way to the bed?

"You climbed up yourself." Qin Ziang seemed to be able to tell what An Xiaochu was thinking, and he straightforwardly blocked An Xiaochu's words.

An Xiaochu suspiciously looked at Qin Ziang who had a serious expression on his face, an image slowly appeared in her mind. When the sky was about to brighten, she was so sleepy that she blurrily went to the bathroom and fell onto a soft bed.

So, she really did climb out of bed!

"Ah …" An Xiaochu pressed her forehead, she even had the heart to die. How embarrassing, to think that she was even staring at Qin Ziang like a wolf just now. Who knew that after all this time, it turned out to be a thief calling for a thief!

An Xiaochu splashed a handful of cold water on her face and forced herself to calm down. Qin Ziang was knocking on the bathroom door again, he quickly cleaned himself up and followed him downstairs.

"Xiaochu, did you sleep well this time? I can see that you look very comfortable!" The Grandma Qin was leaning on a walking stick, standing at the first floor's stairs. The moment An Xiaochu appeared, she impatiently teased him.

An Xiaochu's expression froze on her face. When she woke up, she was too preoccupied with trying to figure out who was climbing onto whose bed, and she actually forgot about the Grandma Qin, the person who desired to stir up trouble the most.

"Grandma Qin, good morning!" Under the Qin family's confused gaze, An Xiaochu dryly said goodbye.

"Morning, why aren't you sleeping? You all stayed up so late last night, so I was afraid I would disturb your rest. I didn't even let auntie do the cleaning."

What did he mean by "making a ruckus"! This misunderstanding had erupted! An Xiaochu's face was as red as a monkey's ass. She quietly reached out her hand to pinch Qin Ziang's arm, gesturing for him to speak.

Qin Ziang didn't even frown as he calmly continued walking forward.

"Take me to the office after dinner." Qin Ziang seemed to have not noticed how dubious and strange the gazes of others were towards the two of them, as he personally pulled An Xiaochu to sit at the dining table, and said those words, whether they were real or fake.

An Xiaochu froze. Did Qin Ziang not know that his words were ambiguous? A man's willingness to let a woman meet his family, friends, and work environment proves that their relationship has come to fruition.

An Xiaochu did not believe that Qin Ziang did not understand the relations between them, or perhaps, he said it on purpose, to let Grandma Qin and the others misunderstand?

That must be it. An Xiaochu hid her strange emotions and coordinated with Qin Ziang's' performance '.

They were sent out of the's house by the smiling Grandma Qin.

"What did my grandma say to you just now?" Just as she was about to go out, Grandma Qin secretly pulled An Xiaochu aside. After muttering to herself for a long time, she returned and An Xiaochu's face was as stiff as cement.

"N-nothing!" An Xiaochu stammered as she denied it.

It was a ball of red paper, and on it was written the auspicious day for marriage. This was given to her by the Grandma Qin. She wanted her to keep it tight and go and pull a witness with Qin Ziang to make their relationship legal. When Grandma Qin said this, her eyes could not help but glance at An Xiaochu's stomach.

After a while, An Xiaochu realized that Grandma Qin was probably afraid that her grandson was not legal!

What the hell, they're innocent!

"Leave me at the intersection ahead." An Xiaochu looked at the road situation, then turned and spoke to Qin Ziang.

"..." The air became silent, Qin Ziang did not bother with him, and drove the car straight past the intersection. Seeing the bus stop moving further and further away, An Xiaochu was angry. How could she have provoked Eldest Young Master? She was always throwing her face away whenever there was a disagreement. It was really strange!

An Xiaochu hugged her arms, closed her eyes and dozed off, until she felt that the carriage had stopped. The car door was pulled open by someone. It was a well-dressed doorman.

An Xiaochu looked at the words' Waterscape Underworld 'in shock. Just as she finished her meal, Qin Ziang was hungry again? Didn't you say that you were busy going to the company? An Xiaochu wanted to ask, but today, Qin Ziang seemed to have made up her mind to bring Gao Linfan to the end as her expression became frighteningly cold. An Xiaochu quietly swallowed back her words. According to her past experiences, she should have rushed to her death at a time like this.

An Xiaochu quickly followed Qin Ziang into a private room on the fourth floor.

Ancient Wooden Door, Embroidery Screen, Eight Immortals Table, Imperial Consort's chair … This room called the Millennium Pavilion was worthy of this name.

It was the first time that An Xiaochu had seen such a complete set of ancient design. Without needing Qin Ziang to say anything, she had already looked around the private box.

In the huge private box, other than An Xiaochu's occasional exclamations of surprise, there was no other sound. The inside of the room was quiet to the point of being repressed, An Xiaochu pretended to study the wall closely to investigate the yellowed picture scroll, but she did not return to sit by the table.

They were still silent when the waiter came in. It was as if this was a battlefield, and whoever lost their patience first would be the loser.

Qin Ziang poured himself a cup of tea and lightly sipped on it, the fragrance still lingering from his mouth.

Turning her head to look, An Xiaochu was still feeling angry. Qin Ziang's good mood had been ruined quite a bit, she placed the cup heavily on the table, and the muffled sound of the wood colliding with the porcelain startled An Xiaochu.

Subconsciously turning back to look, Qin Ziang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

To scare himself! An Xiaochu was also not made of mud, she did not have a temper, the more Qin Ziang was angry at her, the more stubborn she was not to open her mouth.

"An Xiaochu, you've become more capable!" In the end, it was Qin Ziang who could not hold it in and spoke with gritted teeth.

He didn't make time for An Xiaochu to be angry at him.

"Humph!" Qin Ziang's tone was not good, but when he heard his voice, the anger in his heart vanished like smoke in thin air.

What she might lack was just a step.

"Speak."

Qin Ziang was enraged, this woman had actually helped him act so haughtily. Sure enough, not fighting for three days straight!

He had only walked for a week and An Xiaochu's temper had already grown. The thing that Qin Ziang could not accept the most was that in the week that he was away on a business trip, An Xiaochu actually did not receive any news at all.

A heartless woman!

"Say what?" An Xiaochu swore, she did not mean to anger Qin Ziang, she really did not know what to say. With Qin Ziang's current condition, it was obvious that he was just playing a firecracker. She didn't have the courage to touch the tiger's butt at all!

The iron-teeth Qin Ziang was speechless!

Since he said he couldn't make it in time, then he might as well! Qin Ziang took a few steps forward, and forcefully pulled her arm all the way to his side. An Xiaochu's feet were unsteady, and without any suspense, he collapsed onto Qin Ziang's body.

Coincidentally, her lips just happened to be pressed on a spot on Qin Ziang's neck where there was a bulge. Then, An Xiaochu acutely discovered that the protrusion had moved.

In his arms, a snow-white shoulder was half-revealed. The two's posture was all sorts of ambiguous, causing Qin Ziang's Adam's apple to roll a little, barely suppressing his natural instincts as a man. However, his lower body always had an inexplicable impulse!

"Qin Ziang, you are shameless!" After the initial shock, An Xiaochu quickly straightened up, pushed Qin Ziang away and angrily cursed.

The two of them instantly switched roles, it was clearly Qin Ziang who had 'judged' An Xiaochu.

It was a rare occurrence that Qin Ziang did not reply immediately after being scolded. After awkwardly adjusting his sitting posture, Qin Ziang maintained his "unreachable" attitude.

"The heart of a beast with a human face!" How could An Xiaochu not know what he was thinking, and the expression on his face grew uglier and uglier.

Seeing that, Qin Ziang did not try to hide it anymore. He picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a sip. As expected of the best quality tea, the effects of Mind Cleansing were excellent. After the man's impulse slowly died down, Qin Ziang cupped his hands together and coughed softly.

"Don't get excited." A dry word of consolation was no different from adding fuel to the fire. An Xiaochu glared fiercely at Qin Ziang, picked up her bag, and turned to leave.

Qin Ziang hadn't told her the important matter yet, so how could he let her leave midway? Not being able to care about An Xiaochu's disdain, Qin Ziang got up and grabbed her wrist. After a long time of persuading with her soft and gentle words, An Xiaochu finally sat down on the chair with a dark face.

"If you had used your full power when you were facing Cheng Hui, we would have forgone today's conversation." Qin Ziang cut straight to the point.

Cheng Hui, An Xiaochu had never thought that Qin Ziang's so-called problem would actually be this.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Because of what happened just now, An Xiaochu was extremely impatient.

"The one who did wrong was not you, why didn't you go and explain it to Cheng Hui?"

This was direct enough! Qin Ziang saw An Xiaochu staring dumbfoundedly at him, and his mood mysteriously turned for the better. This fool!

"On the contrary, they are the ones who have let you down. Where is the point for you to avoid them? An Xiaochu, a simple concession, in the eyes of someone who doesn't understand you, is equivalent to weakness. " Qin Ziang's words were very profound, and An Xiaochu couldn't help but reflect on it.

"I just don't want to get into contact with them again. I hate them! Besides, I can't afford to offend them. "

As An Xiaochu spoke, she lowered his eyebrows. She could not see her expression clearly, but she could see her depression and exhaustion.

"Do you think that this retreat was as effective as you wanted it to be on the night of the banquet? An Xiaochu, be brave and do whatever you want. "Don't be afraid, you have me!"

When he said "you have me", Qin Ziang's words were loud and clear. Looking at his handsome face, An Xiaochu's heart was moved.

The world was truly very fickle. Previously, she had thought that it was eternal. On the contrary, the 'disaster' in her eyes had at some point become her specific savior.
