《Cute Baby: Daddy, Check Yourself》


 C1

    Ta, ta ¡­


    He sat up abruptly and turned his head warily to listen to the footsteps.


    Her eyes were tightly covered by the eye patch, making her unable to see anything. In the darkness, any sound became exceptionally ear-piercing.


    Qiao Chun An''s hands subconsciously held tightly onto the bed sheet. As the footsteps got closer, her nerves became more tense like a string.


    Suddenly, she felt a touch of coldness brush across her forehead. Her body trembled violently, but she resisted the urge to resist.


    The corners of Qiao Chuan''s mouth twitched. He asked in a trembling voice, "Can I take off the blindfold?"


    The darkness and the strange man''s hands frightened her to the core, and she wanted to get rid of them.


    The man''s hand slowly snaked down until it stopped at her lips.


    The girl stood on the edge of the bed, looking down at the woman kneeling in front of her. Her body was trembling slightly, like a frightened rabbit.


    According to the contract, he only needed to take over her as he wished. However, his throat tightened as he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "No, but I can be as gentle as possible towards you."


    His fingertips lingered on her creamy cheeks, but this series of movements caused her to shudder uneasily.


    She had never been in such close contact with a man in twenty years, and she had never imagined that she would ever be able to be a surrogate.


    "One baby for the family''s ten million debt... "Qiao Chu An, don''t be so unsatisfied ¡­" She swallowed the bitterness in her heart and silently comforted herself.


    His hands had unwittingly unbuttoned the buttons of her shirt, and his slow movements were like those of a rich man eating elegantly in a fine dining room.


    Qiao Chuan was indeed like a delicious dish. The thin Shura did not want to miss out on any of her tastes.


    He knew he wasn''t being a gentleman, but he desperately needed a child, and there was nothing else he could do.


    The shirt had been pulled down to his waist, and he could see it clearly in front of him. His young and tender skin gradually turned a faint crimson.


    She let out a silent breath and lay back on the bed, unable to control her tears.


    Because she seemed to hear his chuckle, a sign of what was about to happen.


    "Be good, I will try my best to be gentle." With little difficulty, he took both of her hands and placed one hand on top of her head.


    With a click, Qiao Chuan An''s body stiffened. She keenly heard the sound of a belt buckle being unbuckled.


    As he looked at the petite woman below him, his breathing quickened.


    The restlessness of his body was already urging him on, but his movements were still as gentle as before.


    He was actually restraining himself for a woman. Thinking this way, it actually felt somewhat funny for her.


    He felt his body begin to heat up. Her voice trembled as she begged for mercy, but she was ignored.


    She forgot how she had fallen asleep. She felt like a dried twig on the beach that night, pushed away by the waves. It felt like her whole body had been torn apart.


    When he woke up, he had already left at an unknown time.


    He was relieved, but the thought of him coming again tonight made him feel better.


    She staggered to her feet and went to the bathroom to wash herself. Looking at herself in the mirror, she forced herself to smile. Looking at the gaunt, humble woman inside, she used all her strength to sweep everything off the washstand.


    She slumped down on the bathroom tiles, but the next second a livid woman burst into the bathroom.


    In a panic, she pulled the towel over her body, staring at this unfamiliar woman who had suddenly appeared. She exclaimed, "Who are you?!"


    The woman looked at her expressionlessly, and pulled him up without a word.


    "The ground is cold, it''s not easy for you to get pregnant like this." she signed.


    She quickly understood that he had sent this woman to take care of her, or to "watch" her.


    Joachim forced himself to swallow some porridge and lay down on the bed, dazed and asleep.


    When it was dark, she reluctantly woke up. The outside of the window was a mess, and a gust of cool wind was blowing the curtain up.


    Aunt Zhang pushed the door open and came in, gesturing with her hand, "Mister, you have another hour to prepare."


    The pain in Qiao Chuan''s eyes caused her to nod her head gloomily.


    For the next month, she would have to get used to that man''s appearance and possession until ¡­ Pregnant.


    She still didn''t know the identity of a man, but looking at the decor of the villa and the rest of it, his fortune must have been enough to stun her. He was, she guessed, a middle-aged businessman who had been pregnant for years because his wife had been infertile.


    She would never forget the sight of herself in front of that glass window, like a selective-selected commodity, no, a womb, with her face so ill at ease, and behind that one-way glass was the man who had decided her fate.


    After dinner, he sat on the swing in the yard. The wind was strong in the evening, the sky was overcast, and a heavy rain was about to fall.


    Happily, the man had something to say that he couldn''t come tonight.


    She looked into the distance but couldn''t see the scenery outside the villa because of the shadow of the tree. She thought that maybe it was because of the weather or her father who was in prison that made her heart heavy.


    She had to get the money before she could think of a way to save her father. Revenge!


    Faces flashed through his mind one by one as he slowly closed his palms until his fingernails were embedded into them.


    Suddenly, her shoulders sank as a black and exquisite suit jacket fell on top of her body!


    He stiffened.


    Didn''t he say that he couldn''t come? Why did it suddenly appear again?


    She could not help complaining that she was too preoccupied to notice his appearance.


    She subconsciously wanted to stand up, but the man''s hands pressed her down heavily.


    The greatest taboo in the contract was that she could never look at a man''s face.


    He put his chin on the top of her head, but said nothing.


    The smell of the wine slowly emanated from Xiu Nan''s body, causing Qiao Chuan to smell a bit intoxicated from smelling the ambiguous scent in the air.

 C2

    "You ¡­" Qiao Chuan spoke carefully. The next words he said were blocked by a palm. Before she could react, his vision went black.


    The thin Shuran had actually wrapped the suit over her head. His body was suddenly lifted up by someone. The feeling of being lifted into the air made Qiao Chao An scream out in fear. She subconsciously hugged the man tightly.


    The man''s shoulders were very firm, and his muscles seemed to contain an endless amount of power.


    Qiao Chunan suddenly started to wonder if he was really what he thought he was, a middle-aged man.


    The man''s soft laughter seemed to reach her ears again. She could not help but bite her lower lip in embarrassment. Thinking of what was going to happen next, her heart started beating rapidly, becoming fearful once again.


    The thin one drank more today, and staggered step by step towards the bedroom on the second floor, carrying Qiao Chuan in his arms.


    Aunt Zhang stood at the stairs and looked at the thin shaman in surprise. He had an important social event today, why would he come back when he was so drunk?


    The woman in his arms was trembling slightly. The emaciated empress lost her balance beside the bed and fell face down onto the bed with Qiao Chuan in her arms.


    Qiao Chu An bit his lips and groaned. However, he still did not move. The man''s actions were a bit rough as he ripped off Qiao Chu An''s clothes. His skin was suddenly exposed to the air, and she subconsciously curled up.


    With his head covered by his suit jacket, Joachim gritted his teeth as he endured the man''s repeated collisions. His tears couldn''t help but flow down his face like a flood.


    The sound of the woman''s suppressed sobs was like a small feather, faintly sweeping over the thin elder''s heart.


    He flipped open his suit jacket, put a hand over her eyes, and bent his head to press her lips into his.


    Qiao Chunan''s eyes suddenly widened. The next few pleas were all turned into feeble moans by Xiu Nan''s lips.


    The next day.


    The thin man stood quietly by the bed. Jojouan was frowning uneasily, his lips red and swollen, the redness still lingering on his cheeks.


    He buttoned his shirt slowly, feeling a twinge of regret.


    Last night was too unrestrained ¡­


    He hadn''t intended to come over, but for some reason, her face always appeared in front of his eyes. Every single expression on her face was very clear, causing him to have a headache.


    Aunt Zhang had already prepared the honey water downstairs. She pressed her hand to her temple and took a few sips. Then, she said in a deep voice, "Take good care of her."


    For a whole month, she had repeated this way to please the man, without any emotion.


    Tonight, there was a newspaper on the dining table. Qiao Chuan picked it up and scanned through it, but soon his gaze was caught by the title of a page.


    "What kind of virtue or ability does Qiao Chunan have? ¡ª Young Master Gu choked with sobs, saying that it would be hard to forget her."


    The moment Qiao Chu An read it, his face turned livid. After reading the detailed report below, his face turned pale!


    How could there be such a ridiculous man and woman capable of making a fool out of themselves!


    She was so angry that she stood up and tore the newspaper into shreds. Perhaps because she was too excited, but when she suddenly stood up, she accidentally fell to the ground and her vision gradually became blurry.


    In her coma, she remembered the day her father had gone to prison. That day, her world had collapsed, and she couldn''t contact her childhood sweetheart, Gu Nan.


    When she braved the torrential rain to go to the Gu family''s villa, she found that his house was having a party.


    "Heh ¡­" When she was in dire straits, he did not even want to see her. Furthermore, he had long been working hand in hand with her so-called best friend, Su Ran.


    "Qiao Chuan, you are too stupid. Gu Nan and I have been together for a long time! You think he''s busy, but he''s always with me, in bed! On me! What makes you think you can be Gu Nan''s girlfriend? "Now that the Qiao family is bankrupt, what qualifications do you have to fight with me for it?"


    "Qiao Chun An, stop dreaming. Gu Nan won''t come out to see you, and he won''t help you. The Qiao family is already part of the Gu family ¡ª by the way, this is what he wanted me to give you."


    Su Ran''s voice was even colder than the rain. After speaking, she threw a storage ring onto the ground.


    It was her engagement ring with Gu Nan, and he said it could only be customized once in a lifetime.


    What was laughable was that in just a short month, not only did he cut off her leg, he had also ruined her family.


    Gu Nan''s indifference and Su Ran''s harsh words to her that day, she would probably never forget them in her entire life!


    "Ah ¡ª Gu Nan, why did you do this to me!" He opened his eyes and saw a high-grade ward in front of him, and in her hands was a blood transfusion.


    The cold chilled his heart. The heavens really did like to torture people, but the things that he wanted to forget had turned into her nightmares time and time again.


    "Miss, you are finally awake. Mister has been watching over you for two hours now."


    Aunt Zhang saw that Qiao Chuan wasn''t in good shape, so she gestured at him with her sign language, her face full of worry.


    Following the direction of Aunt Zhang''s finger, he saw the person sitting on the sofa by the door with his back to him.


    "Sorry, I was just careless ¡­" Qiao Chuan knew that he was in the wrong and quietly apologized.


    However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xi Xiulin.


    "I''m not interested in your past or the newspaper you tore up. The doctor said you were pregnant, but you almost lost control of your emotions and became pregnant. If my child was not born safely, you know the consequences."


    After she finished her routine, she got up and left.


    A cold wind blew as the door closed. The closed windows of the high-grade ward were tightly covered by the curtains, so much so that not even light could penetrate inside.


    The sudden news of her pregnancy didn''t make her happy in the slightest.


    She lowered her head and smiled wryly. That man knew that she was at the heart of the struggle. If the news of her pregnancy were to be discovered, the entire S city would become very lively.


    Aunt Zhang comforted Qiao Chunan. "Congratulations," she said, gesturing with her hands. "You have to be happy."


    However, what appeared in Qiao Chu Xin''s heart was not happiness, but the desire of a storm.


    For a week, Qiao Chuan kept his baby in this sealed room to eat nutrition until his baby was stable. Then, the group of men in black returned to the villa.


    He sat on the bed, his eyes fixed on the quartz clock on the wall. The hour hand had already struck ten, and he thought that perhaps the man would not come.


    With a long sigh of relief, she tightly wrapped herself in the quilt and lay down on the bed. Unknowingly, she fell into a deep sleep.


    Aunt Zhang walked down the stairs quietly from the bedroom door of Qiao Chuan''s room. She was surprised to see the thin manservant in the living room. She quickly walked over and asked, "Master, why are you here?"


    "What do you think of the child?" he asked, his eyes darting down from the second floor.


    Aunt Zhang nodded and replied, "The doctor said Miss Qiao is still a bit malnourished. Other than that, there are no other problems ¡­" Her hands gradually became hesitant.


    "Should I take a look?"


    When he came in, he had just fallen asleep, and the way he hugged the quilt made him feel insecure.


    Before he left, he subconsciously pulled on her blanket and accidentally touched her exposed skin.


    He took a deep breath. After a month of being in love, he seemed to be a bit in love with this woman.


    But the thought passed in a flash.


    It was impossible for him to have anything to do with this woman.


    During the period of nurturing the baby, Qiao Chun An received the most meticulous care. This made her realize that the man was not an ordinary businessman. Such treatment cost her tens of thousands of yuan every day.


    The fact that the man had not appeared at all during this period reassured him. It seemed that he was someone who kept his word.


    However, the closer he got to the due date, the more panicked he became.


    She was only twenty-two years old, and her life hadn''t truly begun before she secretly gave birth to a child.


    She was a child who would have nothing to do with her in the future.


    This was undoubtedly a huge psychological pressure on her.


    The moment he was sent to the delivery room, his heart was torn. He grabbed Aunt Zhang''s hand tightly and asked with a trembling voice, "Aunt Zhang, will I die?"


    But it wasn''t Aunt Zhang who responded, it was the surgical light that suddenly flashed in front of her eyes.

 C3

    After an unknown amount of time, she was finally awakened by the pain.


    Qiao Chunan slowly opened his eyes and looked around blankly at the pale walls. His heart felt as if it had been viciously scratched by someone. She subconsciously reached out to touch her stomach.


    The emptiness made her suddenly feel unreal. This child who had accompanied her for nearly ten months had just left her like this.


    "Aunt Zhang, was the child a boy or a girl? How many pounds? "Are you crying really hard?" she asked softly, looking at Aunt Zhang with pleading eyes.


    Aunt Zhang looked at her hesitantly. After a moment of hesitation, she signed, "You don''t know anything about children."


    She gently closed her eyes and locked all her disappointment and sadness in her heart. She had expected him to say that once the child was born, it would have nothing to do with her.


    Qiao Chuan had thought that she would be stone-hearted and didn''t care at all. But now, she realized that she had overestimated herself ¡­


    A person who had never been a mother would never be able to experience such a heart-wrenching feeling.


    After lying in bed for a few weeks, she finally mustered the courage to turn on her cell phone.


    She flipped through the records on her phone. Other than unfamiliar numbers, the only person who called her every day was Senior Brother Qin.


    A black Audi slowly stopped in front of the hospital. Only then did Qiao Chuan walk out. Even though her face was covered by sunglasses and a veil, she still looked around anxiously, afraid that she would be caught by the puppies.


    As soon as she got on the car, she could feel the low pressure coming from the driver''s seat.


    Deity Qin turned on the mirror and saw that Qiao Chun An was sitting at the back. Her face was a little round and her figure was a little fatter than before. He pressed down the button and turned the steering wheel. This was not the place to talk.


    The mansion of the Qiao family was mortgaged by the court. The auction was going to take place in a few days. Since he had nowhere else to go, he agreed to stay in the house of the Duke of Qin.


    As soon as he entered, he saw a dark red colour on the tea table. She accidentally glanced at it when she walked past, but stopped in her tracks.


    It was an invitation card. On the bright red cover, two golden words'' Gu ''and'' Su ''were written. Suddenly, her vision began to blur. Her fingertips trembled as she bent down to pick up the invitation card.


    Qin Guan came out from the kitchen with a bowl of chicken soup. When he looked up, he saw Qiao Chuan trembling uncontrollably as he held the invitation.


    His throat tightened as he cursed himself for being too careless. He said, "Chu An ¡­"


    Hearing that, Qiao Chuan slowly raised his head. He forced a smile and put the invitation back on the table.


    "I''m a bit hungry. Is that chicken soup?"


    After saying that, she walked over and took the bowl of chicken soup. Without caring about the hot water in her mouth, she took a big gulp. Qiao Chuan sucked in a breath of cold air. His tears seemed to have found an outlet to pour out.


    "Chu An ¡ª" Deity Qin snatched the bowl away, looking at her with eyes filled with heartache.


    "It''s so hot!" His long, supple hair fell down over her ears, covering her face and all her loneliness.


    Su Ran actually wanted to marry into the Gu family ¡­ He clenched his fists, unconsciously, his nails digging into his palms. The pain was nothing compared to the ache in his heart.


    She sat up slowly.


    His father and Gu Nan''s father had been good friends for many years, and the marriage between himself and Gu Nan had been set since the day they were born. Who would''ve thought that the Gu family''s father and son were after money!


    Yes, money.


    She thought again of the child who had recently left her body.


    Finally, Jojouan couldn''t hold it in anymore. He bent his knees and buried his head in his hands, then burst into tears.


    Gu Nan, I hate you. I will get everything back sooner or later!


    Deity Qin stood outside the door with his hands half-raised. He was sleeping in the living room. When he heard Qiao Chuan An''s cry of surprise, he rushed over, but the door blocked him from the outside.


    He smiled wryly. Perhaps it wasn''t just the door that was blocking him.


    On the second day, after thinking over it for an entire night, Qiao Chunan still told the god Qin about his decision.


    She wanted to go abroad. In order to take revenge, she had to become stronger.


    He nodded and said, "I can arrange for you to live abroad ¡ª"


    However, before he could finish his words, Qiao Chu An interrupted him urgently, "I didn''t tell you this because I wanted you to help me ¡­" You''ve helped me enough. "


    Deity Qin looked at Qiao Chunan seriously and said, "Chuan, if you''re in a bad mood because of Gu Nan''s marriage, you can vent it out. Don''t let yourself be wronged."


    He was curious to know what she had been doing during her absence, and he did not want to believe the vague conjecture in his mind.


    He went to the hospital to check on Qiao Chuan without telling him. He was even more worried because he did not find anything.


    Qiao Chuan took a deep breath and said softly, "I do not love him, I only hate him. It is my intention to take the judicial certificate when I go abroad."


    Back then, she had studied law at the best political and law university in the country, but at that time, she had always been living under the protection of the Qin gods. She had always wanted to marry Gu Nan as soon as she graduated, take care of her children and play mahjong when she had nothing to do with her, and that made her feel better.


    Qiao Chunan pursed his lips. No wonder Gu Nan had always thought of her as a ''fool''. Now that she thought of it, even she herself felt disgusted.


    However, the current her was different.


    She vowed to investigate the matter of her father''s imprisonment, and she would personally send the father and son of the Gu family to hell!


    "Alright, I''ll help you." Deity Qin smiled as he looked at Qiao Chuan An.


    Three days later, the carriage arrived at City S''s airport.


    "I''ll leave my father in your care. It would be better if you told him that I''m fine." Qiao Chuan An said softly. Listening to the notice on the airport radio urging her to board the plane, she reluctantly swallowed her words and waved goodbye before turning around to leave.


    Qin Guan grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.


    "Goodbye." As soon as the words left his mouth, he released his hand. He stared at the departing back of Qiao Chuan, unable to recover for a long time.


    He knew there were excuses to deceive others, but she could not deceive herself.


    In the end, she was still a deserter. She wanted to escape from that villa, escape from that man, escape from that embarrassing night ¡­

 C4

    Five years later, at City S''s airport.


    As soon as Qiao Chuan got off the plane, he saw a lot of reporters. She nervously went to find her sunglasses and put them on. Although it had been five years since the incident, those reporters loved to overturn history.


    Unexpectedly, after just a few steps, the airport suddenly became a sensation.


    Qiao Chuan looked over upon hearing the voice. A woman wearing beige jumpsuit was escorted by bodyguards as they walked over. There were a lot of reporters gathered around her, and the sound of their questions almost drowned out the announcement broadcast at the airport.


    "Can you explain why you left the Bo family late at night?"


    "Is that child really yours?"


    Hearing these reporters'' sharp questions, although the woman wore sunglasses, she could still make people feel that she was displeased, but she kept her mouth shut and didn''t say anything.


    The Bo family? Child?


    It was probably some rich family or celebrity slot again.


    She had never paid much attention to domestic entertainment news.


    After the phone was turned on, she saw the text message that had been developed by god Qin. He was currently too busy at the law firm to leave, so he couldn''t come to pick her up.


    Not long after, he received another call. Qiao Chuan walked out with his luggage and answered the call.


    "When are you free to come to the office? It just so happens that my Senior Brother''s teacher is here today. You can come over to meet him, it should be of some help to your September exam. " It was hard to hide the fatigue from his voice as he yawned.


    When she heard this, she couldn''t help but feel a surge of joy. The reason she came back this time was to participate in the Judicial Exam, so that she could qualify to become a lawyer.


    He stopped a taxi and said into the phone, "I''ll be there now."


    Seeing that Deity Qin had hung up, the old man with the white hair on the sofa said with a smile, "I didn''t expect that you would protect her at school. You''re still like this now."


    Goddess Qin lowered her head and chuckled. She then said with a wide smile, "Then Teacher Jane, please help her on my account."


    This old man was a famous professor in the world of law. All the students that came under his tutelage were elite figures. If Qiao Chun An was able to become his disciple, then he would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.


    After Qiao Chuan arrived at the office, she began to converse with the old man. Right now, she needed to contact the law elites of the country, and a good teacher could make her path easier.


    After sending off Elder Jin, Qiao Chunan suggested that they go out for a meal. Divine Qin Kai wanted to agree, but when he looked at the new information on his phone, he couldn''t help but sigh and shake his head.


    "The client told me that he found some new clues and asked me to come over now and talk about them." He very tiredly pressed the space between his eyebrows.


    There were very few cases that could cause the gods of Qin to be in such a difficult situation. Qiao Chunan was curious and went over to ask, "What case is it? You were in such a bad shape a few days ago, do you still have any leads?"


    Deity Qin shook his head with a bitter smile and said in a deep voice, "Simply put, it''s Shang Hua Entertainment''s invasion of the Su Group''s business secrets. However, the deeper I dig, the harder it is for me to win. Shanghua Entertainment has announced that it will be incorporated into the GW Group by the end of the year, and you should be familiar with the Su Group. "


    Qiao Chu An trembled slightly. She was just too familiar with the Su Clan ¡ª Su Ran''s father''s company!


    She already understood that this was a showdown between the GW Group and the Su Group.


    Although the GW Group kept a low profile, their strength was enough to easily crush the Su Clan. Especially after five years ago, when their management had gone through a major shake-up, with the 26-year-old Bo Xiuran as the CEO, the result of their defeat was already obvious.


    She was in a trance for a moment, but she still followed him out to see him off.


    As she went out, she wondered if this would be her chance.


    An opportunity to take revenge on Su Ran ¡­


    But in the next second, she shook her head again. She understood that Qin Guan wanted to make use of this opportunity to make a name for himself. After all, his strength was sufficient to prove himself in front of GW Corporation.


    Therefore, she definitely couldn''t let her selfishness ruin the future that Qin Feng had built up for her.


    After chatting for a while, he walked out of the office.


    On the other side, a man in a suit and a leather suit walked down from the stage.


    The man''s gaze gently swept over Divine Qin and Qiao Chunan. Then, he said to Divine Qin, "Mister Bo wishes to meet with you. Please ¡­" With that, he turned his body slightly to the side, gesturing for him to get on the carriage.


    God Qin was startled, he never thought that a person with such a status as the one named Xiuran would take the initiative to come to his door.


    Qiao Chu An felt that he was being watched. However, after looking around, he was unable to find the source of this feeling. However, he could not help but guess in his heart.


    But the window was closed and she could see nothing.


    Unexpectedly, someone in the car was indeed looking at her.


    When he saw Qiao Chuan''s line of sight, Xiuran''s pupils constricted.


    It''s her!


    Even though five years had passed, he recognized Jojouan at once.


    A light breeze blew against her pale white skirt, revealing her fair and delicate ankles. Her sight shifted along the way, revealing her slender waist that could not be held tightly.


    There was a faint makeup on Qiao Chunan''s face. His facial features were gentle, his skin exquisite and fair. His small jaw was connected to the beautiful curve of his neck ¡­ She was more attractive than she had been five years ago.


    The thin cultivator''s eyes flashed, and his gaze shifted to the body of the Qin god beside her, before suddenly turning dark.


    He felt extremely uncomfortable. It was as if there was a gaze that was like a scalpel that was dissecting her. This feeling reminded her of the man from five years ago.


    As he planned to block the incoming attack, he turned around and gave a few more instructions to Qiao Chuan before getting into the car.


    Mr. Bo''s car... Could it be that the person in the car was GW Group''s president, Lan Shuiyan? Qiao Chun An watched as the car drove away from his line of sight, and he couldn''t help but worry for the god Qin.


    When she was abroad, she had never stopped paying attention to the changes in the domestic business community. This thin shaman was like a dark horse, he had completely reshuffled the business world of S City on his own. If the Qiao Clan was still here, perhaps they would have submitted to him.


    Thinking of what she saw at the airport, she suddenly exclaimed. There was a story about an illegitimate child in Perseus who was only five years old. Could it be that the celebrity at the airport was the child''s mother?

 C5

    Qiao Chuan went back to her rented house. It wasn''t a big house, only one room and one room, but it was very clean. Because of this, she also rented it online.


    After a short while, she lay on the bed, feeling drowsy. Unknowingly, she fell asleep. The dream was very noisy. Su Ran held a child and stood in front of her. He laughed evilly and asked, "Qiao Chuan An, where is your child?"


    His heart felt as if it had been viciously grabbed by someone. Qiao Chuan An cried out in alarm as he regained his senses. The window had already begun to shine brightly.


    She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and stared at the pattern on the blanket in a daze.


    Five years had passed, and this child had become a nightmare that she could not let go of for a long time.


    She bent over and hugged herself, took a deep breath, and bit the tip of her tongue.


    She would probably never see that child again in her life.


    The next day.


    Jane''s granddaughter was on her seventh birthday, so he specifically called to call Jojouan and the god. Qiao Chu An couldn''t help but be moved when he answered the phone. It seemed that Elder Jane had already brought him into his circle.


    The God of Qin was already waiting for her downstairs. He leaned on the door of the car as he looked around in boredom. After hearing the footsteps, he turned his gaze towards Qiao Chu An who was walking over.


    She was wearing a light beige dress as she slowly walked over. Her long black hair cascaded down behind her, and her face was painted with a light and appropriate makeup.


    At the Jane house.


    "Is your grandfather well?" Elder Jian, who was wearing a white and black Tang suit, asked as he sat on a rattan chair by the window. He was holding a cup of tea in his hand, and he smiled kindly at her.


    When he was young, he had helped Bo Xiuran''s grandfather with a lot of lawsuits. The relationship between the two of them was very deep, and as usual, he had sent an invitation to the Bo Family.


    "The old man is in a very good mental state. He went golfing with his father, otherwise he would have come by himself today." The tone of the thin Xiuran was very appropriate, and his usually indifferent face now had a hint of warmth to it.


    Hearing this, Elder Jian couldn''t help but laugh out loud as he enjoyed the attitude of the thin elder.


    "My granddaughter said that An Xin hasn''t gone to kindergarten for a few days?"


    When he mentioned his son, Baoxiu''s brow loosened a bit. He said with a chuckle, "He caught a small cold two days ago. The old man felt sorry for him, so he didn''t let him go for the past two days."


    "Master, Mister Qin brought Miss Qiao over." The nanny knocked on the door and came in.


    Hearing this, the expression in Xiuran''s eyes changed slightly. The name Qiao Chuanan seemed like a small stone that was thrown into his heart ¡­


    As he was introducing Qiao Chuan to his friends, he raised his head and saw the thin Xiu Lun and Elder Jian standing on the second floor. His expression immediately stiffened.


    Qiao Chu An was keenly aware that Su Hao''s body had suddenly become stiff. He followed Su Hao''s gaze and was stunned. "Why is he here too?"


    As the gaze of the thin Xiu Lan fell on the arm that Qiao Chuan An was holding on to, his pupils couldn''t help but constrict.


    Their Relationship...


    As soon as Jojouan''s gaze came into contact with the thin shaman, he subconsciously averted his eyes. She felt a sense of fear for no reason.


    The gathering was very simple. Most of the people present were old students of Jane''s family, and there were even her granddaughter''s friends, crazily chasing and playing around in the courtyard.


    Her gaze fell on the group of children, and she felt a dull ache in her heart.


    "Miss Qiao?" A low, indifferent voice suddenly rang out from behind him. Qiao Chu An subconsciously wiped his eyes, then turned and anxiously said, "It''s me, there''s ¡ª"


    The rest of the words were stuck in his throat when he saw the owner of the voice''s face.


    The simple cut of his white shirt outlined his nearly perfect waist, and the black trousers that lined his long legs. His dark eyes reflected the image of Qiao Chuan. His stern face seemed to be covered in a thin layer of frost all year round.


    The frown on his forehead slowly disappeared. He couldn''t help but find it funny.


    "Mr. Bo, Mr. Bo, you''re looking for me?" He cursed himself in his heart, then pretended to be experienced and asked.


    "I heard from Elder Jian that you just returned from studying in A Country. Are you a top student in the legal field?"


    He was nervous, but he nodded. In the five years she''d spent there, she''d been studying law and earning money part-time, so she had some confidence in her own strength.


    "I wonder if Miss Qiao would like to come to my company? I know that you have not yet passed the domestic judicial examination, but that does not matter. What I value most is your familiarity with the laws of country A. "


    His eyes, however, were fixed on her face, and no expression of hers could escape him.


    After five years, he still seemed to have the desire to control this woman.


    "I promise!" Qiao Chuan''s answer was decisive and straightforward.


    She needed this job. The savings from living abroad could not support her life in the country for long. Furthermore, her father was about to be released from prison, so she needed more money to support herself and her father.


    "At nine o''clock tomorrow morning, I hope Miss Qiao will be in my office on time." The thin Xiuran looked at Qin Kai who was walking over quickly, and the corner of his mouth curled up without being noticed.


    Qiao Chuan watched him leave for a long time before he finally regained his senses. He felt a sense of familiarity with him.


    "What were you talking about?" He really did not like the way the thin Shuran was looking at Qiao Chunan.


    "I''m going to GW Corporation to be a legal advisor," Qiao Zuanan hesitated, but eventually said what he wanted to say.


    "Chu An, why?!" Why did you agree to him? I clearly have the ability to support you for the rest of your life. Even if your father comes out of prison in the future, I can even invest in him to start anew! Why? Back then, you were willing to find another man, but you didn''t want to find me! "

 C6

    "Because I don''t want to be attached to anyone, and I don''t want to owe you too much either. I''m sorry." Qiao Chuan''s tone turned colder and colder. She thought that he would understand her, but to him, she was nothing more than that ¡­


    After saying these words, she bid farewell to old Jane and walked along the roadside. However, since her house was near the suburbs, she couldn''t find a single taxi nearby.


    After walking for a while, Qiao Chuan was tired. He stopped to rub his sore ankle and looked at the map on his phone. It showed that he was still 20 minutes away from the nearest bus stop. She couldn''t help but sigh.


    At the same time, a black Bentley drove past her. The car window slowly lowered, revealing a young and handsome face. Qiao Chuan smiled innocently and said, "Miss Qiao, if you don''t mind, I can drive you home."


    "Just take me back to the city, sorry to trouble you and Mr. Bo ¡­" She wanted to shake her head at the thought of that face, but the pain in her foot kept screaming and she had to bite the bullet.


    As soon as she got in the car, she felt a huge pressure behind her. She looked at the mirror in the car and saw that he was sitting in the back with his eyes lowered and his thin lips pressed into a straight line, as if he was concentrating on the documents in his hands.


    Perhaps because he felt that someone was looking at him, the thin cultivator raised his head and stared at the mirror. Unexpectedly, Qiao Chun An''s heart skipped a beat when he saw the thin cultivator look at him. His eyes were burning with passion.


    Qiao Chun An''s face turned as red as a cherry. She wanted to say "thank you", but the empress had already lowered her head, but the atmosphere between them was too awkward. She turned her head to look out the window, thinking to get off the car as soon as she got to the city.


    However, what Qiao Chun An didn''t know was that her little movements were observed by the empress. In the mirror, Qiao Chun An''s snow-white neck was revealed. The lines were clean, but there was also a hint of seduction. He couldn''t help but think of those nights when he remembered the softness of Jojouan''s neck and the rolling of his adam''s apple.


    The awkward and ambiguous atmosphere made him uncomfortable. When the car finally reached the city, he quickly told the driver to stop the car. "Then I can get off here."


    "Miss Qiao, you live in the Southern District?" the driver asked in surprise.


    After all, the southern part of the city was the poorest part. Almost all the lower class people lived here.


    Qiao Chuan shook his head and awkwardly said, "Then I will take a taxi back myself. I won''t waste Mr. Bo''s time."


    The driver saw the troubled look on Qiao Chunan''s face and said softly, "No need to delay. Miss Qiao, tell me the address of your house and I will send you back."


    Just as Qiao Chunan was about to say something, he heard a thin and gentle voice. "Miss Qiao, are you afraid of me?"


    His voice was like a piece of cold iron pressing against her neck. Qiao Chuan''s heart shuddered. The people outside the car were bustling, but the inside of the car was as quiet as if it was another world.


    Qiao Chunan shook his head. She always felt a sense of helplessness when facing the empress, forcing herself to reveal her real address.


    Such a lovely appearance reminded the girl of the lingering nights. She couldn''t help but chuckle, but the laughter struck her like a thunderclap. The nightmarish images of the past rushed into his mind. Those memories were like maggots attached to a bone. She was like a frightened bird, and it was very easy for her to associate them with those torturous times back then.


    After the luxurious black Bentley quietly stopped in front of the dilapidated entrance of the district, Qiao Chuan once again thanked him for pushing the door open and got off. He breathed in the outside air and finally felt relaxed.


    After getting off the car, she didn''t tell the driver to drive away but stared through the window at Qiao Chunan. When she could no longer see his back, she turned back and said in a low voice, "Go back to the company."


    That night, Qiao Chao An slept soundly, but she still woke up early the next day. She arrived at the GW Corporation ten minutes early, and when she saw the reflection of her suit reflected on the wall of the elevator, she couldn''t help but feel nervous as the number of floors continued to climb.


    Finally, he stopped on the 30th floor. The elevator door slowly opened with a "ding" sound. Qiao Chuan An took a deep breath and quickly walked out.


    When the secretary saw Qiao Chuan An, he walked over with a smile and greeted, "The CEO is still not done with the meeting downstairs. He said if you came, he would let you go in and wait for him."


    Qiao Chao An nodded and pushed the door open. But just as she did, she smelled a strange smell. It was strange because it shouldn''t appear in the CEO''s office.


    The air was thick with the smell of hamburgers and fried chicken, and she could see where it came from without looking for it.


    There was a little boy who was about 5 or 6 years old sitting on the sofa and eating fried chicken. When he raised his head and looked at Qiao Chu An who walked in, his face was filled with contempt.


    "You also came to see my father? He has no time to see you. The little boy frowned and intentionally put on a mature look. However, he did not know that his appearance was very funny.


    Qiao Chuan stared at him for a few moments. The face was somehow familiar to him. It took her a while before she could react.


    "You are Mr. Bo''s son?" "I came to see your father to discuss business. He also told me to wait here for his return. If you let me go, then it will be proof that your father reneged. Are you going to treat your father as someone without credibility?"

 C7

    After hearing what Qiao Chuan An had to say, the little boy''s delicate eyebrows knitted together again. His little face was filled with hesitation.


    Qiao Chuan smiled. Just as he was about to say something else to tease him, he heard a sound coming from behind him.


    "Why are you eating so much fried chicken?" The little boy leaned over and rubbed his small head as he walked in, pretending to be serious.


    The little boy stuck out his tongue at the thin shaman, reaching out his hand to wipe away the residue at the corner of his mouth.


    At this moment of warmth between father and son, Qiao Chuan could not help but think to himself, Lady Bo must be a very happy person.


    "Miss Qiao."


    She was suddenly startled by a shout and when she looked up blankly, she saw that he was frowning.


    "My dad asked you to explain your situation. You can show him your resume or whatever." The little boy acted like he was a small ghost as he hugged his shoulders and acted as the microphone.


    Qiao Chuan nodded and snickered. Then, he took out his resume and handed it to the thin manicured young man behind the desk.


    After that, she stood in front of Xi Xiuran and spoke with confidence, but only she could hear how loud her heartbeat was. "Five years ago, I graduated from a political and law university in the country, and half a year later, I will continue to study law in country A. I have rich experience in country A''s laws, and I will be tested on domestic judicial certificates this year."


    After he finished listening, he lowered his head and looked at the resume in his hand. Without even looking at her, he asked, "Are you that sure that you can take the exam?"


    "Yes." Qiao Chuan smiled and said without hesitation as he looked into her eyes.


    When he saw her smile, he could not help but be a bit absent-minded. He had never seen Qiao Chuan An''s confident side before. When he looked at his son who was drowsily sleeping, a glimmer of light flashed across his eyes.


    "You''ve been hired." With a slight smile, Xiuran''s short sentence landed heavily on Qiao Chunan''s heart.


    "Also, I have an important meeting to attend later. Can I trouble Miss Qiao to take care of my son?" He lowered his head to look at his watch and muttered to himself.


    Although his words sounded like a request, Qiao Chun An could not refuse. She looked at the boy yawning on the sofa and nodded, biting the tip of her tongue.


    However, he couldn''t help but mutter in his heart, "How could it be like this, helping the CEO take care of a child right after being hired?"


    However, the little boy who was lively a moment ago was now sleeping peacefully on the sofa. Joachim took a blanket from his secretary and gently covered the little boy''s body.


    Looking at the child''s young face, a part of her heart suddenly became very soft.


    At this moment in the meeting room.


    The phone on the table suddenly vibrated. He took the phone and looked at it. There was a message on the screen. There was a photo of Qiao Chu An and his son in the office. The two figures looked very warm and cute.


    He owed his son too much, and arranging for his mother to come into contact with him was just a way to make up for his lack of trust.


    At the same time, the boy in the office woke up. Looking at the blanket on his body, he was very satisfied with the man who was taking care of him.


    He lowered his head and carefully traced his name with his finger.


    "Do you remember? My name is Bo Anjing. You can just call me An. " After he stumbled over these three words, his forehead was already covered in a thin layer of sweat.


    An '', these two words startled Qiao Chun An. This was her nickname, but ever since her mother passed away and her father went to prison, no one had ever called her by that name again.


    "Auntie, what happened to you?" Bo Anjing waved his small hand in front of his face, and her eyes, which were as black as grapes, returned to their normal state of mind.


    Qiao Chuan shook his head and smiled. "It''s nothing. I just remembered something."


    "Auntie, do you know how to tell a story? I want to hear a story." Bo Anjing snuggled up to him, unwilling to come out. This place made him feel very warm.


    While Qiao Chuan racked his brain to think of the story, Qin Guan called her one after the other. She refused to answer the calls again and again, which made her feel very against him.


    Bo An Jin looked up at her and said, "Auntie, if you''re busy, I can do it by myself. I''ll go find my secretary and sister and say that you don''t have to take care of me." After saying that, he jumped off the sofa.


    "I''m not busy. I just don''t want to answer this person''s phone. Auntie doesn''t have any good stories right now, so I''ll tell you another day. An Xin, what do you want to eat? I''ll buy it for you. " Bian An''s arms were so small and soft that he quickly let go, afraid that he would accidentally hurt him.


    "Can you take me to an amusement park? "Can I?" Bo An looked at him, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He grabbed Qiao Chuan''s fingers and held them in his arms like a soft, cute animal.


    This reply put Qiao Chuan in a difficult position. She didn''t dare to bring him out. If anything happened to the rest of the people outside, the thin cultivator would probably cut her into a thousand pieces.


    "Hmph." He let go of her arm, turned his back to her, and was secretly angry.


    The young lord''s temper had flared up, leaving Qiao Chu An at a loss. She had never interacted with a child before, but this was the first time she had encountered such a troublesome child.


    "Why are you so foolish when all the other women are trying to coax me and want to take me out to play?" Bo An Jin couldn''t help but pout about the past.


    "There was a woman who said she wanted to take me to an amusement park, but she brought me home. That day, Dad''s face was really ugly, and that woman never appeared again."


    Qiao Chu An was stunned for a moment and then understood.


    A man like Bo Xiuran would definitely be surrounded by many women, and although it was very difficult to obtain a Bo Xiuran, it was clearly much easier to obtain Bo An Jin''s liking.


    She laughed involuntarily, "I am doing this for your safety, it is too chaotic outside. If I don''t take care of you and let the bad guys take you away, I will regret it for the rest of my life. If you want anything to eat or drink, I''ll buy it for you. "


    Bo An Jin snorted coldly. His body had already leaned over as he pouted: "Then I want to drink fruit juice."


    "Alright, alright. Auntie will go buy some juice for you now." After calming down An An, Qiao Chu An went to buy some fruit juice. When she returned to her office with the fruit juice in her hand, she saw that the empress was sitting on the sofa staring at him.


    Bo An saw the fruit juice in Qiao Chuan''s hand and his eyes lit up. He rushed over to Qiao Chuan and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qiao."


    When the thin cultivator saw this scene, his eyes flashed with an obscure light: "Thank you for your hard work Miss Qiao. Later when we go out Secretary Lin will bring you to see Lawyer Zhou, he will arrange your future work."


    "Thank you, then I won''t disturb you." Qiao Chunan took a deep breath. He thought that he could finally stop taking care of the child. He nodded and turned around to walk out.

    When George followed his secretary to see the lawyer. She stared blankly at him for a moment. In her mind, she recalled the scene in the court where Zhou An was trying to force his father''s attorney, the plaintiff''s lawyer, to the point where he was rendered speechless ¡­


    "We meet again, Miss Qiao."


    Zhou An looked at Qiao Chunan and smiled implicitly. He reached out his hand and looked at the hand in front of him.


    "Long time no see." Qiao Chunan left as soon as his hand came into contact with hers. She forced a smile. She really had no good impression of Zhou An. After all, it could be said that his father''s imprisonment was greatly related to him.


    "Back then, I also did what a lawyer should do. I hope Miss Qiao won''t mind." Zhou An could see that Qiao Chuan An was in a trance, so he couldn''t help but explain. After all, they were colleagues from now on.


    Hearing this, Qiao Chu An lowered his head and laughed. He shook his head and said softly, "It''s alright." Back then, she had also hated this lawyer. But now, she had already thought it through. The father son of the Gu family was the real culprit.


    After the two of them exchanged simple pleasantries, they each went back to their own business.


    As he typed the report into his computer, Zhou An placed a cup of coffee on her desk. He hesitated for a moment before reminding her in good faith, "If you have time, you can watch the news."


    Qiao Chao An nodded and curiously closed the document. After he saw the bullet box, his entire body immediately started trembling.


    "Explode!" "The destitute and famous Qiao Chunan finally appeared five years later. She actually hugged the mysterious rich man''s thigh?" The top page showed her getting out of the Bentley with the headline stinging her eyes.


    He could not help but clench his fists tighter and tighter. Suddenly, he felt a chill. It was as if there was a pair of eyes watching his every move, hoping to ruin her once again.


    Qiao Chunan tried his best not to think about the news as he braced himself. However, he had to admit that the internet''s violence could destroy a person''s mind.


    The elevator door slowly closed. With a huge yawn, he reached a hand in, and when she looked up, she saw the thin manicure in front of the elevator.


    Qiao Chunan''s gaze immediately turned away from the thin shaman. She felt uncomfortable thinking about the reports on the internet, but luckily there was no mention of the thin shaman. The entertainment officials were well versed in the ways of "soft persimmon".


    He looked at her, then stood beside her and pressed the button on the first floor.


    Qiao Chuan carefully raised his head to look at him. The side of his face was clean and stern, with a high nose bridge. His indifferent lips were slightly pursed, giving off a cold aura.


    Why did he only get off work now? Qiao Chun An was a little doubtful, but she still remained silent as she hid in the corner of the elevator, keeping her distance from the thin Siren.


    However, in the next second, the elevator suddenly shook and she almost fell to the ground due to the shaking of her body.


    However, the elevator suddenly stopped at the 13th floor. The lights overhead flickered on and off, showing signs of being extinguished at any moment.


    Qiao Chunan pressed his hand against the thin shaman''s chest. He felt the warmth of the strange palm on the back of his waist and felt a warmth on his cheeks. Then, he realized that there was a problem with the elevator.


    The intimate atmosphere between the two seemed to have dispersed the tension. Qiao Chuan could feel the breathing frequency of the girl and his heart started to beat faster. Unknowingly, her hands had already wrapped around his waist.


    "Thank you." Jojouan tried to free himself from the thin shaman''s arms, but just as he spoke a single word, the elevator shuddered and plummeted.


    The thin cultivator then hugged Qiao Chuan even more tightly. With a frown, he whispered, "Hug me tight!"


    The elevator stopped as if it was a roller coaster. Qiao Chunan could only feel his legs becoming too weak to stand. He leaned against the thin shaman, biting his lips as tears welled up in his eyes.


    "What should I do? I''m scared?" Her voice trembled. After all, it was already this time. There shouldn''t be anyone else in the company. She wondered if the elevator would descend again.


    "It will be fine." A warm feeling rose in her heart as she looked into his eyes and saw how relieved she was to depend on him.


    He had only said five words, but they were like a shot in the back of his hand. His breathing slowed down, but he still held on tight to her waist, even though a voice inside told him he should let go.


    Soon after he rang the alarm in the elevator, the sound came from the walkie-talkie again, and Tuppence calmly explained the situation to the voice.


    "Don''t worry CEO, we''ll be there in five minutes." There was a hubbub of electricity, and then the elevator went silent again.


    Qiao Chunan raised his head to look at the thin elementalist''s chin. Suddenly, he felt something strange. Unexpectedly, he lowered his head and the two of them instantly gazed at each other.


    The light above her head flickered again, so fiercely that she could not help but blink, but her face became more and more clear.


    He stared into her eyes, suddenly seized by an irresistible impulse to her soft, tender lips.


    The light was extinguished and the elevator went dark.


    The next second, he felt his lips soften. Then the palm of his hand on his waist pushed her even closer to the Tinker, and her cries of surprise turned into a whimper that gradually disappeared as her lips ground together.


    The thin Shuren felt the struggle and put a hand on the back of his head, deepening the kiss.


    Joachim frowned, his heart thundering, and when he felt the thin shaman''s hands slowly sliding down, she snapped out of it and bit hard on his tongue.


    The thin cultivator suddenly opened his mouth in pain, but his hand still held onto her wrist, causing her to stick close to his chest. In the darkness, in between the sealed elevator, there were only the two of them violently breathing.

 C9

    Qiao Chuan did his best but was still unable to break free from the Shura. She couldn''t help but curse herself. She was really blind. It was impossible for her to imagine that her husband would do such a thing!


    She suddenly thought of a man. When Gu Nan was carrying her on his back with Su Ran ¡­ Finally, Qiao Chuan An hardened his heart. He used his strength to land a kick on the thin mane''s foot, and took the opportunity to break free from the thin mane''s restraints.


    The thin cultivator couldn''t help but groan as he was stepped on. He reached out his hand to grab Qiao Chuan''an, but at that moment, the staff member''s voice came from outside the elevator.


    "CEO, how are you doing?"


    Xiuran switched on the flashlight on his phone and the beam fell on Qiao Chuan''an who was hiding in the corner of the elevator. He frowned unhappily and said to the maintenance staff, "I''ll give you ten minutes."


    Hearing that, the staff outside wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and shouted to the people beside them, "What are you still standing there for? Get to work! If the CEO can''t come out within ten minutes, we''ll have to pack up and leave! "


    As for the trapped Qiao Chun An, she was enveloped by the cold light emitted by the phone. Her eyes were filled with uneasiness as she stared at the phone. Her hands were in front of her chest and her lips were pursed into a thin line like a frightened cat.


    "I''m sorry." Perseus just looked at her, slightly moved.


    After all, he had never wanted to have a woman before he met her, and his education did not allow him to do that to a woman.


    Qiao Chu An was stunned for a moment before realizing what he had said. She opened her mouth, and the elevator door behind the thin cultivator was finally opened. Light from the outside instantly poured in.


    The thin Xiu Nan stood with his back to the light. His tall and straight body was outlined by the light, making it difficult for Qiao Chao An to look away from him.


    Although she wondered what kind of man he was, the thought of that kiss made her blush like a frightened rabbit, and she ran away without saying goodbye.


    The next morning, Qiao Chuan An was disturbed by the ringing of the bell. She hesitated for a moment before calling Zhou An to ask for a break.


    "You must have been frightened last night. I heard about the accident with the elevator last night. Have a good rest at home. The CEO informed me this morning and gave you a week''s leave." Even when Qiao Chuan heard Zhou An''s words, he felt a trace of warmth.


    "About that, thank you." Hearing the words'' CEO '', Qiao Chun An''s face immediately appeared in his mind. He quickly shook his head and threw him out. Right now, she only wanted to accumulate her strength and watch the father and son of the Gu family get revenge when they went bankrupt.


    But now that she was back home, the whole city knew, and the contents of those reports made her teeth itch.


    However, just as she hung up, she heard a knock on the door.


    At this time, outside the door, Bo Anjing was eating fried chicken while asking the driver beside him, "Auntie Qiao, does she live here?"


    Shen Lin, who was staring at the door of the building, turned his head and said, "Yes, but your Auntie Qiao was just frightened last night. Don''t mess with her."


    Bo Anjing nodded his head obediently. He had a good impression of this aunt. After hearing his father say that there was an elevator accident last night, Aunt Qiao was even scared to the point of crying. He was somewhat worried.


    The moment Qiao Chun An stood up and pushed open the door, he saw Shen Lin standing there with his hands half-raised, looking like he was about to knock on the door. He was stunned for a moment, and then he was hugged by a soft body, with her head lowered stiffly.


    "Auntie Qiao, are you alright?" I heard from dad that you cried from fright last night, so I brought a lollipop for you to eat. " Bo Anjing''s face was full of worry. His hands were tightly holding the hem of her dress, but he subconsciously swallowed his saliva when he talked about candy.


    "Look." Shen Lin forced a smile and said, "Then I''ll have to trouble you to take care of our young master. Our company still has matters to attend to, so we''ll come back later to pick him up."


    "Huh?" As soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Lin turned around and walked away as if he hadn''t heard him.


    She looked down at the harmless face of Bian An, who was still hugging her legs, and could only smile at him. She really didn''t know if it was a good or bad thing to be liked by this young master.


    He poured out all the things in his schoolbag, and all kinds of beautifully wrapped candy instantly covered Qiao Chuan''s bed. His small face was dyed multicolored by the sugar paper, and as he impatiently opened the package, he also put it into his mouth, vaguely explaining how the candy was so delicious.


    Qiao Chuan leaned beside him and smiled. "This candy is for me to eat. Why do I see it going into your little mouth?" As she spoke, she couldn''t help but scratch her little nose.


    "Hey, Auntie, I''ll feed you. When I was young, Grandpa would always give me candy whenever I cried. It was sweet and sweet, and once I ate it, I wouldn''t feel scared or uncomfortable." Bo An blinked and quickly placed the candy in his left hand next to Qiao Chunan''s mouth. His bright eyes showed a little disappointment.


    "What''s wrong with a little girl like you?" Qiao Chunan was slightly moved by his words. He slowly opened his mouth. Bo An shyly smiled as he placed it into hers. Looking at his small "black teeth", she couldn''t help but burst out laughing as well.


    When Bo Anjing heard this, he curled the corner of his mouth that was dirty from eating the chocolate. His expression also became lonely as he said in a low voice, "I''m different from other children. They all have mothers, I don''t have one, but I don''t want to have one either. Those women smell good, but my heart is black. I don''t like them, and my grandfather also said that none of them are worthy to be my mother."


    "My mother told me that if you see a person become sad, hold him in your arms," he said softly.


    Bo Anjing''s small body went from stiff to soft. He buried his head in Qiao Chuan An''s neck and muttered with a deep nasal voice, "Mom."


    This sentence struck like lightning, striking a heavy blow to his heart. He couldn''t help but think of her child.


    Could he now be in the arms of some woman, calling out for his mother? He ¡­ How are you?


    At this moment, the curtains were gently drawn shut by her and the streetlights in the residential area outside the window were lit up. The heavy night was irregularly torn apart by the lights of a few houses.


    Bo An curled up into a small ball and slept on her bed. Qiao Chuan carefully tucked the blanket back in. He couldn''t help but smile as he watched Bo An sleeping peacefully.


    There was a knock on the door at this warm moment. Qiao Chunan thought that Shen Lai had come to pick up the child. She quickly walked over and pushed open the door. What she saw was an unexpected face.


    Perhaps it was due to the warm rays of light shining through the room, but when she raised her eyes to look at the two people standing at the door, the usually cold expression on her face also became much gentler.

 C10

    When he opened the door, he was surprised to see it was a thin one. A flash of surprise passed through his eyes, but he was too embarrassed to block the door, so he leaned over to let him in.


    The thin cultivator didn''t show any politeness as he walked in with his long legs.


    His gaze swept over the current situation of each room. Even though the place was small, it looked very warm and cozy.


    The living room was lit by a dim yellow light, filling the room with a layer of warmth.


    After entering the door, the thin cultivator took off his coat skillfully and hung it on the clothes rack at the side, as if his husband had just returned home after finishing his work.


    "That, Mr. Bo, An An has fallen asleep. Could you please go and pick him up?" Joachim followed her with a sense of absurdity about having been squandered.


    "No need to rush. First, let me check out where An An is staying this afternoon." As he said that, he looked at the things in the living room.


    "Well, I''ll get you a glass of water." George squeezed his trembling hands and walked into the kitchen.


    The kitchen was not too far away from the living room as there was only one room and one living room.


    Qiao Chuan was petite. When he walked around in the kitchen, he had a natural and natural sense of beauty to him. His small and exquisite lower jaw slightly leaned forward as he poured water. His posture gave him the feeling of a proud swan raising his neck.


    "Mr. Bo, since there are no tea leaves in the house, let''s drink some plain water." Qiao Chuan An felt the heat spreading from his back. He hastily placed the glass in front of the thin shaman while he stood far away.


    "What are you standing there for?" Xiuran raised his gaze, and the obsidian eyes shone with a fragmented light. Under the dim light, he was especially dazzled. "Isn''t this your home?"


    Hearing the words of the emaciated empress, Qiao Chao An sat down beside the emaciated empress.


    "How did Anthea perform today?" Xiuran''s slender white fingers rested on the glass as he looked at Qiao Chunan with indifference. However, no one could discern the hidden meaning in his eyes.


    "Today, An An was very obedient." As he said this, the time he spent with An An couldn''t help but flash across his mind. An''an was really well-behaved and very cute.


    His finger was placed on the glass and the temperature of the glass was so hot that his fingers were slightly red. His gaze landed on Qiao Chuan An''s face. Seeing the warm smile on her face as she talked about An Ran, he could not help but be a little dazed.


    After all, he had never seen such an expression on her face in the past five years.


    "Let''s go. Bring me to see An Ran." He got up. Anthea was not in the living room. She should be in his bedroom.


    Hearing this, Qiao Chuan was stunned for a moment before reacting. Indeed, the child was still lying on her bed. She wanted to bring him out.


    Qiao Chunan walked in front of the emirate and felt his gaze fall on her. His body froze for a moment. He didn''t care for a moment and he didn''t look at her as if he was stripping her of her clothes.


    It should be her imagination.


    It seemed that the incident from five years ago had had too much of an impact on her. When her thoughts drifted away, she shook her head slightly and opened the door to her room.


    Although Bo Anjin was only a five-year-old child, she would not be able to hug him.


    "This An An really likes to cause trouble. I didn''t expect her to be so obedient in front of you. Sorry to trouble you today." The thin shaman felt that Qiao Chuan An''s body was trembling because of her gaze. He walked to the place where Bo Anjin was sleeping and picked him up.


    The light in the bedroom was darker than the light in the living room, like a light that had been deliberately dimmed for sleep.


    "No trouble, An An is very obedient." As he was embracing An Xin, Qiao Chuan saw An An unknowingly move closer to her, and he could not help but sigh in his heart. It really was father and son.


    "Mom." As he left the room with Bo Anjin in his arms, the thin mumbling of Bo Anjin became even more obvious in this quiet space.


    "The child misses his mother." "The child is still young and needs maternal love," explained Joachim as he turned his gaze to Joachim. He knows what''s good for him. "


    She was afraid that he would misunderstand, afraid that he would think that she wanted Anthea to approach him.


    After all, this kind of thing had happened many times before from An An''s mouth.


    "Alright, I understand." Lan Shuyan withdrew her gaze, put Bo Anjin into her arms, and walked out of the living room.


    "And Anthea likes to eat sugar. You have to make him eat less." When the thin cultivator left, Qiao Chun An handed over the small bag that Bo An Jin brought with him to the thin cultivator.


    "They''re all little black teeth now." When he said this, the smile on Qiao Chuan''s face was very obvious.


    He could only feel the thin cultivator''s gaze on his face. Qiao Chun An''s smile faded and he put on a businesslike expression. "Sorry, I said too much."


    When Bo Xiu saw Qiao Chuan like this, she lovingly lowered her head and patted Bo Anjin''s head. "Thank you, I will take note of this."


    After sending off the rune, Qiao Chuan An''s taut nerves finally let out the alarm and he laid limply on the sofa.


    She felt that she was always exhausted when she was with him.


    At this time, the thin Xiu Nin who went downstairs was sitting in the car. She raised her head to look at the light upstairs. A trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes before it disappeared.


    Does a child need maternal love? Is the mother''s love better?


    Thinking up to here, Bo Xiuran''s gaze fell onto Shen Lin, "The method you mentioned just now, I think it''s feasible."


    "So how are you doing? I really think the baby should be taken by the real mother. " Shen Lin saw that he was finally able to answer back with his words, his eyes flashing with the light of the Eight Trigrams.


    How could he not be curious about this opportunity that he had finally found?


    "Don''t you think you talk too much?" He immediately started the car and no longer questioned the progress of the car. In any case, he had never had an advantage in the hands of a thin cultivator before.


    The next day, according to his usual schedule, the doorbell rang as soon as he had made breakfast.


    She looked through her cat''s eye and saw Shen Lin leading Bo Anjin out of the room. She couldn''t help but be a little puzzled, ''Did she turn into a nursery here?''


    "Shen Lin? An An? "Good morning." Seeing the smile on An An''s face, Qiao Chao An was no longer depressed.


    "Miss Qiao, the CEO has gone on a business trip. I''ll leave An An An with you first." Shen Lin didn''t give Qiao Chunan any time to refuse as he lowered his head to ask Bo Anjin, "An An, do you want to stay with Auntie Qiao?"

 C11

    "Yes, I want to stay with Auntie Qiao." Bo Anjin''s face tightened up, the joy in his eyes couldn''t be contained as he nodded his head seriously.


    "Then you have to see if your Auntie Qiao will let you stay with her. If you don''t behave, then Auntie Qiao will not let you stay with her." When Shen Lin said this, he didn''t feel it was wrong to ask a child to act cute.


    "Auntie Qiao, I will be very obedient." As he said this, Bo Anjin patted his chest like a little adult, "I''ll keep my word."


    "Auntie Qiao, you will let me stay, right?" Even though Bo Anjin was still young, he knew who was truly interested in him.


    He liked to be with Jocelyn.


    "Miss Qiao, I entrust An''an to you. I''ll leave first. "


    Qiao Chunan felt like laughing at the manly actions of Bo Anjin. He had no time to stop Shen Lin.


    Unable to stop Shen Lin, Qiao Chunan squatted down. His gaze was as calm as Bo Anjin''s. Looking at his happy face, his heart softened. He asked gently, "An An, did you eat breakfast?"


    "Not yet." As Bo Anjin said this, he looked at Qiao Chunan. Seeing that there was no disgust on her face, she took out a small backpack that was hidden behind her back.


    "Aunt Qiao, my great-grandfather prepared this for me." Bo Anjin flipped through his schoolbag, "I didn''t come here to eat and drink for free. I brought something here."


    "This is a card, the card contains money. I don''t know how much is inside, but it''s enough anyway. This is my clothes, this is ¡­"


    Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, Qiao Chun An stretched out his hand to rub his head. The smile on his face was very clear. "I am glad that you''re here."


    An''an was too painful.


    He wondered if that child of hers would also grow into An Ran''s appearance.


    While Qiao Chuan was stroking Bo Anjin''s head, his mind was thinking about his child.


    However, with a tug of Bo Anjin''s finger, all of the thoughts in Qiao Chuan''s mind disappeared.


    When she took the money, she should have been able to cut it in half.


    "An An, let''s go. Auntie will take you to eat breakfast." Holding the small hand of Bo Anjin and the small bag of books he brought over, the two of them walked towards the kitchen.


    The living room was not very big, and the kitchen sink was where they ate.


    Since he was eating breakfast alone, he did not make anything complicated. There was only a glass of milk and an omelette. He grilled the bacon and added it to the bread.


    When Bo Anjin walked over, Qiao Chunan gave him breakfast. Then, he turned around and started to make himself an extra breakfast.


    Although Jojouan had no experience with caring for his children, Bo Anjin was a good guide.


    The two of them had a very happy week together.


    They woke up together in the morning. In the morning, he would take An An An to the nearby supermarket, buy the ingredients for lunch, play the game An An brought over in the afternoon. After dinner, they would go for a walk in the garden downstairs.


    For the past few days, there was nothing else that needed to be done.


    "Mom, my dad is coming to pick me up." On the last day of the week, after dinner, Bo Anjin had an unhappy look on his face.


    "An An, you called me wrongly again." Qiao Chuan patted Bo Anjin''s head and said to him with his head down, "You need to call me auntie, okay?"


    Seeing the displeasure on Bo Anjin''s face, Qiao Chuan squatted down with a gentle smile on his face. "Isn''t it good to be with dad?" Father is working hard. As a good child, An An must understand and understand Father. "


    "If you''re free in the future, An An can also come and play with me."


    Hearing Qiao Chuan''s words, Bo Anjin happily raised his head. "Mom, can I really sleep with you in the future?"


    "I already said to call you Auntie." As he corrected himself again, the doorbell rang.


    When he opened the door, sure enough, it was the Tidemark.


    The thin Shura''s body was tall and slender, the light from the stairs even brought a bit of warmth to his body.


    This time, Qiao Chuan was holding Bo Anjin''s hand and appeared at the door. He then handed Bo Anjin''s bag to the cultivator waiting outside.


    "An An, say goodbye to Auntie." She took the satchel and told Anthea to say goodbye to Jocelyn.


    Qiao Chuan An leaned on the door as he watched the two of them leave. He lightly sighed and patted his own face before returning to the room.


    "Daddy, I really like Auntie Qiao. Next time you''re away, you''re going to leave me at Auntie Qiao''s house, okay?" Bo Anjin raised his little head and said seriously, "It would be fine if you got a few extra points."


    "I didn''t like to travel a lot in the past, but now you''re asking me to do it a few more times. An An, don''t you love your dad anymore?" However, Xiuran didn''t expect that in just a short week, Qiao Chuan An would have been tamed.


    Was this the nature of mother and son?


    "No, dad is a rich family provider, I love dad a lot. However, I also really like Auntie Qiao. " Bo Anjin''s children''s words caused him to be stunned.


    It seemed that he had to speed up his actions. He shouldn''t have given An An An an incomplete childhood.


    When the alarm rang the next day, he got up slowly. After getting up, he patted the people around him. When he realized that there was no one around, he was stunned for a moment before reacting.


    She had been raising her child for a week, and now she was feeling rather lazy.


    After tidying up his appearance, he went to work excitedly.


    Because she was a new legal advisor and there was a fault in the handover, she and Zhou An could be said to be as busy as a top.


    After finishing the work that Zhou An had instructed him to do, Qiao Chun An finally had time to go to the toilet. The toilet in the company was arranged into several compartments, and those who washed their hands outside could not tell whether there was anyone inside or not.


    "Did you find out about the new legal adviser? It''s only the first day, and he already took a week''s leave. I really don''t know what kind of backstage he has. "


    "What kind of backstage can they have?" Isn''t it just having an affair with the CEO? "


    "Are you trying to kill yourself by saying these words? The CEO is a clean and proper person, don''t spout nonsense. "


    "How am I spouting nonsense!?" I heard that the newcomer was trapped in the elevator with the CEO on the same day. When he came out, his lips were still red! "


    "He must have seduced the CEO!"


    "I really can''t tell. Didn''t you say that woman was the first lady? Even famous ladies have that kind of personality? "


    "Pfft, what famous lady, she''s a whore who comes out to sleep! The Qiao Family had long since ceased to exist! You guys have not seen how close Zhou An was to his work just now. Who knows, maybe the only reason he could get this job was because he slept with Zhou An. "


    "Qiao Chuan is the first lady, what''s going on?"

 C12

    The sound of the conversation gradually faded away, and the face of Qiao Chuan who was sitting on the toilet turned pale.


    She recalled the time when she was attacked by public opinion online until there was nowhere for her to hide.


    Joachim came out of the bathroom and went back to his place of work.


    During this period of time, he did not come out even once for fear of encountering other people''s strange gazes.


    She had thought that she was already strong enough. She hadn''t thought that she would encounter such a situation. She still wasn''t able to bear it.


    She didn''t know what people outside said about her, but if the people in the company were so scary, then what was it like outside?


    Su Ran really did not hold back and wanted to kill her!


    "Qiao Chuan, send this information to the CEO." Zhou An buried his head in his things. He handed the documents in his hand to Qiao Chun An.


    He took a deep breath and went out the door.


    She felt as if countless gazes were falling on her, causing her to have nowhere to run!


    She walked to the door of the CEO''s office and knocked on the door. Hearing the sound of entering, she felt like she was revived.


    She didn''t need to face the piercing gazes from outside to feel much more relaxed.


    "Mr. Bo, this is the information that Zhou An told me to give you." He handed it over and waited for a while before he accepted it.


    Xiuran raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Chuan An''s pale face. He frowned slightly. When he saw her yesterday, her face was completely red. How did she become like this in just a single night?


    "Are you happy to work here?" The cold voice of the thin cultivator made Qiao Chun An''s body shudder.


    "No, it''s fine. If there''s nothing else, I''ll go out first. " Every time he was in the same room with her, he found it hard to breathe.


    There obviously wasn''t much of a problem, was there?


    "You can leave first." He didn''t think he could get anything out of her. He just wanted to see how much she trusted him.


    The result was as he expected.


    They were now in a relationship between their superiors and subordinates.


    After Jojouan left the room, the thin one reached out his hand to press his brow and told the secretary to check on the recent events at the company.


    When he came out, he found out that Su Ran had told him about the Qiao family and Qiao Chuan.


    Even the people in the company were discussing the matter.


    Looking at the slanderous words written on the magazine, Shuren Burg had an ugly expression on his face. He called Shen Lin for help, and at the same time greeted the other supervisors.


    As soon as these initiatives were taken, the magazines and evening items were revoked, the destruction was made, and there was a new rule in the company.


    That is, you can''t discuss gossip while you''re at work, and you can''t isolate the office.


    Otherwise, it would be contrary to the company''s regulations, and the company has the right to expel unqualified employees.


    Qiao Chuan did not know much about this, but when she went to the company''s cafeteria for lunch, she felt that there was no longer any look from those around her that seemed to be stuck in their throats.


    He didn''t know why, but it made him feel more at ease.


    In the afternoon work required legal counsel, and Jojouan was on the team.


    Listening to the war of words on the stage, he was looking for loopholes in the opponent''s law.


    After this meeting, it was the first time that Qiao Chuan felt that using the law to fight was so interesting.


    When he went to the tea room to get some water, he bumped into Shen Lin.


    "Miss Qiao, I didn''t expect that you would ask me for help." Shen Lin was sitting on the sofa in the tea room. When he saw that Qiao Chuan had come out, he said this seemingly without a care.


    Hearing Shen Lin''s words, Qiao Chunan squeezed his cup with a nervous expression. She couldn''t imagine what it would be like to ask someone for help.


    "What did you say?" For me? "


    "Isn''t it just for these gossip magazines?" Shen Lin stood up and saw that the door to the meeting room was ajar. He then stopped just in time.


    Qiao Chu An stood there in a daze, but after a while, he re-entered the meeting room.


    When he entered the meeting room again, he did not know what to think. From time to time, his gaze would drift over to the thin cultivator.


    However, when he looked over, he immediately turned away.


    After the meeting ended, Qiao Chuan An followed closely behind the Shou Yin. He opened his mouth a few times, but no words came out.


    She really didn''t want to be in contact with him. She didn''t like being with him that day when he was being frivolous to her. However, he had truly helped her with this matter.


    If he didn''t make a move, Su Ran''s plan would definitely succeed and she would definitely be injured again because of all the public opinion.


    There were some things that one knew they were not like this, but if they heard too much, they would still doubt themselves.


    Public opinion could kill without a trace. She had seen too much of this sort of thing.


    "Mr. Bo," Qiao Chunan opened his mouth to express the gratitude in his voice, "thank you for today."


    At Qiao Chunan''s words, the thin one paused.


    Laughing lightly, he said why did she look like she wanted to say something but was hesitating. So she was actually thinking about this.


    "No need to thank me. It was a simple task. Besides, you''re my employee, so I need to help you resolve your worries. " When he said those words, his face did not show any other expression.


    However, the words sounded especially complicated in Qiao Chu An''s ears.


    He could ignore it, but she couldn''t pretend it hadn''t happened.


    "If you really feel embarrassed, then treat me to dinner tonight." Xiuran raised his head and looked at the slightly red face of the man in front of him. He felt that it was funny.


    He wasn''t a man-eating berserk beast, so why would he be so nervous when speaking to him?


    The fingers holding the information were turning white.


    "Alright then. After work, I''ll treat Mr. Bo to a meal." After eating, they didn''t owe each other anything.


    The meaning of those words were something that Qiao Chunan did not say out loud, but he understood it somehow.


    Looking at the departing back of Qiao Chuan, the thin Shuyan''s mouth pulled up into a smile, neither of them willing to acknowledge the other. Ah, is that possible?

 C13

    After getting off work, Chu Qiao An followed behind the thin cultivator. Since she was going to treat him to a meal, the place to eat would naturally be decided by the thin cultivator.


    After getting on the car, Qiao Chuan An still felt a little breathless. However, compared to the time when he first saw the Shuriken, he felt much better.


    He drove to a restaurant called the Forsaken West.


    The waiter led them to a more private couple''s table.


    Just as he was about to tell the waiter not to bring them to the lovers'' area, he saw that only the lovers'' area was slightly quiet, so he didn''t say anything.


    After ordering the couple''s dinner, he felt uncomfortable.


    The awkwardness on her face overflowed, especially when she saw the young couples eating so intimately together.


    "The dessert in this shop is very delicious. Anthea likes it very much." Qiao Chuan''s uneasiness was so obvious that how could Xiuran not see it. He could only open his mouth to dissolve her awkwardness.


    Hearing the words'' An '', Qiao Chuan An''s attention shifted to An An. He no longer bothered about the fact that they were a couple.


    He didn''t ask how Ann knew about the dessert. To the left and right were the women who surrounded him.


    "It''s easy for children to grow tooth decay if they eat so many polysaccharides." In the week she''d lived with Anthea, she''d discovered that she didn''t really like sugar that much.


    It''s just that I''m not in a good mood and like to eat sugar, Anthea said. Eating sugar makes me feel sweet, so I''m not in a bad mood.


    Especially when other kids said he didn''t have a mother, he liked to eat sugar.


    When he heard this, he felt a sour feeling in his heart.


    However, when she turned her head to look at An An''s smile, she felt that she had become a little sentimental.


    "I know, but he likes to eat, and the family''s old man dotes on him." The dining etiquette of the thin elder was very elegant, his every movement carrying a noble elegance, "I am often absent from home."


    "Can I ask you to take care of Ann for me, if you can?" I think he likes you. " As she said this, she raised her head.


    Seeing the gentle smile on his face, the hand holding the fork tightened slightly.


    "An An needs the love of a mother. If you have the chance, you can let her biological mother take care of him." As he said this, he stopped what he was doing and raised his head. He saw that there was a strange expression on the thin Shura''s face and felt that he had crossed the line.


    After all, Anthea was the child of the empress, and the matter between him and his wife was not something an outsider like her could ask.


    He immediately explained, "I don''t have any other intentions. Mr. Bo, if you are busy, you can let me lead An An."


    "But I don''t really know how to take care of a child. I''m afraid that An An wouldn''t feel used to it."


    At this point, Qiao Chun An''s heart ached. She was starting to miss her child. I don''t know if he was happy in that house.


    However, in front of Xiuran, Qiao Chuan did not show it. There were only a few flashes of nostalgia in his eyes.


    Seeing the flustered look on Qiao Chunan''s face, Bo Xiuniang could not help but smile, "How could that be? Yesterday, that child told me that he hoped that I would be a bit worse so that he could come to your house."


    "This child." Hearing her words, Qiao Chuan felt a warm feeling in his heart. Thinking about the past few days he had spent with Bo Anjin, the smile in his eyes became much more real.


    She had no other intentions towards the child. She just felt that the child was very painful. It was a surprise to her that he could remember her goodness.


    "What happened in the elevator last time was my fault. I apologize. " He could tell that Jojouan was against him, in large part because of Meng Lang''s visit to the elevator.


    Even though he would still do the same thing the next time, based on what Shen Lin said, he still had to admit that he made a mistake. This way, it wouldn''t make it difficult for people to get close to him.


    As for admitting his mistakes, he would continue to do so next time.


    When Joachim heard of this matter, he unconsciously put the letter back to his ear. He looked a little uncomfortable, but it was gone in a moment.


    Since the thin elder had already said so, there was no reason for her to not let this matter go.


    After all, she still wanted to work under him, and she also wanted to pull the Su Clan off their horses. There were some things that had to be accepted. Besides, he''d protected her from the elevator accident.


    "Thank you for protecting me that time, Mr. Bo." She had always been deeply grateful to him, and she clearly remembered the kindness he had shown her.


    "Then I''ll leave An An in your care the next time I travel." When he saw that Jojoun''s expression had softened, he immediately made the request.


    Child, it would be the best way for him to get close to her.


    The two chatted happily about some topics related to Bo Anjin.


    After dinner, when he was about to pay the bill, he found out that the thin manicure had already paid the bill.


    "I agreed to treat you to a meal."


    "Then please come back next time." After all, it was impossible for him to let a woman treat him to a meal.


    Hearing this, Jojouan could only nod his head.


    When they got home and sent her away, Jojouan closed the door and slid down the wall.


    The smiling face that was originally in front of Xiuran had now completely disappeared.


    He covered his face with his hands and suppressed his tears as they rolled down his face.


    The thin shaman that came back to see off Qiao Chuan and An Lun stood outside the door. He heard the suppressed crying coming from behind the wall and couldn''t say what he felt in his heart. He just felt extremely annoyed.


    Joachim leaned against the wall and squatted by the door. He cried for a long time before he stood up shakily and walked to the bathroom.


    She misses her child.


    She was not a good mother.


    No, she had no right to be a mother.


    While talking to Bo, she thought of her former child.


    However, she would never have the chance to see her child again in her life.


    That was what she should have known when she agreed to be a surrogate.


    Some things that they did, they had no right to regret.


    She did not know anything about that man, and she had no chance to contact her child.


    She still had her own things to do, and she couldn''t let her emotions dwell on what had happened in the past.


    Just as George was getting ready to go to bed, the phone rang.


    After he picked up the phone and heard the familiar voice from the other side, Qiao Chuan was so angry that his fingers trembled slightly.


    "Qiao Chuan, you actually came back." Su Ran''s voice was a little sharp. She knew that she had withdrawn all the scripts that she had previously sent out. She felt a little frustrated.


    She hated him, especially his ability to turn everything around, which drove her mad with jealousy.


    Why was Qiao Chunan so lucky? Why was Qiao Chunan stronger than her in everything?


    Qiao Chuan was like a thorn that pierced Su Ran''s heart.

 C14

    Qiao Chun An didn''t know that Su Ran hated him that much previously, but ever since he went to find her five years ago, she already knew.


    Qiao Chuan took Su Ran''s call seriously.


    "I''m back. Aren''t you happy? After all, you used to be my best friend." Qiao Chuan An suppressed his resentment. Hearing this voice, he was so angry that he trembled, but his words were still smooth.


    "Pfft, best friend?" "If you were a good friend, you would have let him get engaged to you even though you know that I like Gu Nan?" Su Ran turned on the recording on his phone and spoke according to his script.


    "Heh, Su Ran, you sure know how to invert black and white!" Gu Nan and I have already been married for a long time, do you still want to say that I stole your boyfriend? How shameless are you!? "


    Hearing Su Ran''s words, Qiao Chu An was so angry that his face turned red.


    It was terrible how shameless this man had become.


    "You are the young miss of the Qiao family, the number one lady in City S. What man do you want that you can''t find? Why are you fighting with me for her?" Su Ran''s voice was full of anger, "It''s been five years. I''ve already gotten married to Gu Nan. What are you doing back here?"


    "Su Ran, have you forgotten what the Su Clan did to the Qiao Clan?" Qiao Chun An''s voice was restrained. His initial anger had calmed down when he heard Su Ran''s hysterical voice.


    So bad people can also be afraid!


    "Are you here for revenge? Those things that the Qiao family did were all true. What right do you have to take revenge? " Su Ran''s voice was very loud. He immediately hung up after shouting those words.


    Qiao Chun An looked at the phone being hung up and a sneer appeared on his face. The Su family, oh, one day she would return the things she had forced on Mrs. Qiao back to the Su family.


    After hanging up, he was ready to go to bed.


    On the other side, Su Ran hung up the phone and took out the recording. He didn''t hide the anger in his eyes at all.


    Gu Nan, who had just finished his shower, saw Su Ran''s expression and asked. He knew it was about Qiao Chuan An and didn''t say anything.


    However, he secretly called his subordinates, telling them to help his wife properly.


    Neither of them liked him.


    However, Gu Nan was used to behaving like a prig, so he would never show himself, much less say it out loud.


    Qiao Chunan was not only a thorn in Su Ran''s heart, he was also trash that Gu Nan wanted nothing more than to get rid of.


    Thinking back to the way he looked in front of her, the gloom on Gu Nan''s face couldn''t be stopped.


    Su Ran edited the recording. He had listened to it several times and found out that Qiao Chuan had an imposing manner. He was just like a boyfriend and a slut who used his power to force others to abandon his girlfriend.


    Amongst them, the young miss of the Qiao family and number one lady in S city had caused this piece of audio to explode even more.


    The smile on Su Ran''s face became even more obvious as he looked at the item he cut.


    Gu Nan was about to go into the study when he heard the recording. A shadow flashed in his eyes, and the smile on his face became more sincere.


    He was no longer in the study.


    He was waiting for Qiao Chuan to be sent to the 18 Hells!


    Qiao Chuan did not know about these things. She did not know that some people could do anything when they were being vicious.


    The morning weather was a little cold, so he wore a business suit and went to work.


    Large companies need to look at more legal provisions.


    He had been busy all morning.


    Just as he was busy, Zhou An suddenly walked over, "Qiao Chunan, the Su Group is suing Shanghua Entertainment for violating trade secrets, we have to be prepared to keep up with this case."


    Hearing this news, Qiao Chu An''s heart skipped a beat.


    He didn''t expect that he would have to clash with the Su Clan so quickly.


    For some reason, the first thing that Qiao Chuan did when he heard the news was to worry about Xi Shuyan.


    After finishing the task at hand, Qiao Chao An and Zhou An went to look for the information they needed for this case.


    The more he searched, the more he found that this case was very easy to deal with.


    Her professionalism told her that the chances of winning this case were very high.


    Although her goal in coming here was to face the Su Clan group head on, she was still a little surprised at being able to face them so quickly.


    This case was very unlike what the Su Clan could do.


    Why did they have to fight a lawsuit that was clearly going to be defeated?


    After knowing this result, Qiao Chu An felt much more at ease.


    Seeing that the Su Clan''s lawyer had opened the door for him, Qiao Chunan was surprised. He thought that this senior brother of his had helped her a lot, and at the same time, his methods were somewhat radical.


    She was very clear about why Qin Yun wanted to become famous in a single battle.


    Qiao Chuan called Qin Guan, and when Qin Guan called, he saw that it was Qiao Chuan. He made an appointment to meet him at noon before hanging up.


    After hanging up the phone, Qiao Chunan began to act seriously.


    The company did not have anyone like Qiao Chuan. For the first time, he felt that work was a very open matter.


    By noon, Qiao Chun An did not eat in the company''s dining hall. Instead, he found a restaurant outside and waited for Qin Guan to open the restaurant.


    "Senior Brother, you''re here." Seeing that Qin Guan was wearing a suit and looked like an elite, Qiao Chunan immediately stood up and greeted him.


    "Mm. Chu An, why are you looking for me?" Qin Guan put his briefcase aside and sat down, looking at Qiao Chun An with concern.


    "Did you encounter any difficulties in Shanghua? You can come and find me, I can raise you. " Qin Guan looked at the table with a gentle expression, as if if if Qiao Chuan could defeat him, he would be able to arrange everything for her.


    Hearing Qin Guan''s words, Qiao Chun An felt a little uncomfortable and handed the menu on the table to him.


    "Senior brother, let''s see what you like to eat."


    Last time, the two of them had a very unpleasant conversation about this topic, so Qiao Chao An didn''t want to find trouble with them.


    He couldn''t help but feel uncomfortable when he said he was going to raise her.


    Her senior brother really didn''t understand her. Although he had helped her a lot, he didn''t know what she wanted to do.


    I don''t know what she wants.


    Qin Guan saw that Qiao Chuan An did not answer and did not bring up the topic anymore. Instead, he turned his gaze to the menu.


    After ordering, the two of them waited for the dishes to arrive before they started to talk about their current situation.


    "Chu An, how are you doing in Shanghua? I haven''t seen you contact me recently. " Qin Guan poured hot water for Qiao Chuan An, the concern on his face obvious.


    "I did pretty well in Shanghua." At the mention of this, the expression on Qiao Chuan''s face softened a little.


    Shang Hua was the best choice for her right now.


    After a brief discussion about the current situation, Qiao Chuan explained the reason why he had invited Qin Guan to have a meal with him.


    "Senior Brother, why do you want to be the Su Clan''s defence lawyer?"

 C15

    Qiao Chunan placed his hands on his knees, and looked at Qin Guan with a hint of worry in his eyes.


    "I think I can win." When Qin Guan heard Qiao Chuan An''s words, his face was filled with confidence. "Chu An, come with me to the Su Clan."


    "The Su Clan can let you become famous in one shot. This way, it''ll be more convenient for you to investigate the Su Clan''s matters."


    "Senior Brother, are you telling me to break the law?" Qiao Chunan''s face was filled with disbelief. First, let''s not talk about whether she was going to the Su Clan, then use her position to search for the Su Clan?


    She could not do such a thing.


    If she wanted to overthrow the Su Clan, then she would do it openly.


    If she used such a method to topple the Su Clan, then what was the difference between her and the Su Clan?


    "How is this breaking the law? This is called diving into the tiger''s den." Qin Guan didn''t agree with Qiao Chuan An''s words. What was the difference between this and placing spies? Was there really a need to put it so harshly?


    "Senior Brother, you ought to be clear about the enmity between me and the Su Clan. It''s impossible for me to go to the Su Clan." Qiao Chunan directly rejected Qin Guan''s suggestion.


    "Fine, I won''t go." Seeing the rejection on Qiao Chunan''s face, although Qin Zheng felt very displeased, he did not say anything unpleasant.


    "However, I have a lot of confidence in this lawsuit." Qin Guan changed the topic, directing the topic to the professional field.


    After hearing him say this, Qiao Chunan did not want to continue listening. She discovered that Qin Guan was driving a different path from hers.


    Qin Guan was in too much of a rush, the difference was too great.


    "Senior Brother, I''m going to work soon. I''ll go back to the company first." Joachim did not stop Qin Guan to continue speaking and proposed a farewell.


    Qin Guan looked at Qiao Chuan An''s back as he left. He pounded the table, feeling a little annoyed.


    Wasn''t it because he felt that he couldn''t win anymore?


    He will win.


    After returning to the company, Qiao Chuan was still not at ease.


    Exiting the campus and entering society, was there really such a huge change in a person?


    Or had she never seen Qin Guan open it?


    "Qiao Chuan, send this information to the CEO." When Zhou An saw that Qiao Chunan was sitting in a daze upon his return, he handed over the information in his hand.


    "Oh, okay. I''ll send it over right away." After receiving the documents, Qiao Chuan tossed all his thoughts to the back of his mind and walked towards the CEO''s office.


    Knocking on the door, he heard a voice inviting him in, and then he walked in.


    "Mr. Bo, this is the information that Zhou An told me to send up." After leaving the materials to the side, he prepared to leave.


    "Miss Qiao, please wait for me to sign this information and bring it to Zhou An." Seeing that Qiao Chuan An was about to leave, Baoshu spoke out to stop him.


    Hearing her words, Qiao Chuan An stopped and stood aside, waiting for her to finish signing the documents.


    Instead of looking around, his gaze fell on a group photo beside the desk.


    The photo was of Bo Xianren and Bo Anjin standing together on a patch of grass.


    The expression on his face was very gentle, and the corners of his mouth were wide open. He looked very happy.


    "Ann took this when she was three." Seeing that Qiao Chuan An''s gaze was fixed on the photo, Bo Xiushan could not help but say this.


    Hearing her words, Qiao Chuan An''s gaze fell on her.


    The man held a pen with clear joints in his hands, and his shirt was hanging at his elbow. He looked extremely clean.


    "It was a good shot." The expression on George''s face softened a little.


    After signing his name, the thin cultivator didn''t give the information to Qiao Chuan An. Instead, he leaned back in his chair and said, "I saw your expression just now wasn''t very good. Did someone in the company give you a hard time?"


    Hearing this, Qiao Chuan An''s heart tightened. Was she able to control her expression that badly?


    "Nope."


    "Really?" It was clear that she did not believe him.


    He had been with this woman for so long that her expression was clearly a lie.


    "I''m just a bit worried about Shanghua Entertainment''s lawsuit." Joachim saw that he could not hide it from him, and said so.


    Seeing the worry on Qiao Chunan''s face, a trace of happiness flashed across Xiu Nan''s heart. However, he could not let Qiao Chunan continue to worry.


    "Don''t worry, there''s no problem with this case."


    Although she also wanted to say that this case was not a problem, but Qin Guan had no choice but to be on guard against him.


    "The Su Clan''s lawyer is my Senior Brother, his methods are quite formidable." When Qiao Chuan An said this, his fingers curled up slightly. It was obvious that saying such words was a great breakthrough for her.


    "Didn''t Shang Hua have you guys? "Don''t be afraid." He handed the papers to Joachim.


    Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the phone rang.


    "Hello, Shao Yishuo." Hearing the name ''Shao Yishuo'', Qiao Chu An''s footsteps paused for a moment, but he still turned around and left.


    "CEO Bo, I''m going back to my hometown for a vacation!" From the sound of it, Shao Yishuo knew that he was very happy over there.


    "It''s great that you''re back. I have a lawsuit against you, so you can help me out." He looked away from Joachim.


    When Shao Yishuo heard about this matter, his tone was clearly filled with disbelief, "Don''t you have a few powerful lawyers? "Why did you think of me?"


    "You can''t come back and be idle." Shao Yishuo was an old student, so Qiao Chuan needed someone to take him along.


    He wasn''t too worried about the others, and he wasn''t sure if Qiao Chuan would like them either.


    This person, Shao Yishuo, just so happened to be here.


    Although he had the habit of being a playboy, when it came to doing things, he would do it willingly. Thus, he did not need to worry that he would set his sights on Qiao Chunan.


    On the other side, Shao Yishuo didn''t even know that this was the sole reason why the Elementalist had asked for his help.


    Of course, Qiao Zheng An didn''t know what Xiu Lan was planning.


    After returning to his office, Qiao Chuan handed the documents to Zhou An and started working.


    She would have to find a way to push all the possible outcomes back in order to see what kind of cards the other side would play.


    This was her first case, and she had to put in all her effort. She didn''t have the strength to make others trust her.


    After working continuously for a few days, Qiao Chao An became more clear about the laws of A country. Originally it was just talk on paper, but after working with Zhou An for a few days, Qiao Chao An felt that he had improved a lot.


    This is why people bring them to work. If someone brings them along, it will be much faster than if you grope around with them.

 C16

    Three days later, Shao Yishuo returned to his hometown.


    He invited Shen Lin and Shao Yishuo to drink in the bar.


    "Why does CEO Bo want us to drink? Won''t you go home and take care of the child? " When Mimi entered the bar, Shao Yishuo squeezed out from the dance floor, picked up a cup of wine from the bar, and drank it with his head held high.


    There had been no social activities in the first few years of her life, and she had gone home to take care of her children as soon as she got off work.


    This matter had given their group quite a bit of time to talk about it.


    "I have my dad with me these few days." When he spoke of Bo Anjin, the expression in the eyes of the Lan Shuiyan eased up a lot.


    "Alright, alright, don''t give me son Xuan!" Shao Yishuo immediately tried to stop him when he heard him mention Bo Anjin, "If you say anything more about your son, my father will immediately capture me and bring me back to bear a child!"


    "You''re not young anymore. It''s time for you to get married." Shen Lin sat at the side and listened to Shao Yishuo talk about this matter. He couldn''t help but stab Shao Yishuo again.


    Hearing Shen Lin''s words, Shao Yishuo refused, "I''m still young, and I still have so many beauties waiting for me to chat with them about life. I don''t want to raise children so early."


    The three of them teased each other for a while, then didn''t bring up this matter again. Then, they changed the topic back to the matter of Shao Yishuo returning back home.


    "Come to my company tomorrow, I have something to talk to you about." The bar''s environment was very noisy, so Xi Shuyan did not plan to discuss business in the bar. She mentioned it for a while and said nothing more.


    The reason why they invited him to a bar was entirely because Shao Yishuo liked the atmosphere of a bar.


    "Got it, got it." "En!" Shao said as he picked up another cup of wine and poured it into his mouth.


    "It''s because of Qiao Chuan An." With just one sentence, Shen Lin had exposed the plans of Xiuran.


    "Oh, oh, oh. So I''m your tool for flirting with girls!" Shao Yishuo patted the shoulder of the thin Shura with a face full of bros. I have seen through you.


    After chatting for a while, Shao Yishuo returned to the dance floor.


    Shen Lin and Bo Xiuran were drinking wine beside him, but the two of them did not like to play around with Shao Yishuo.


    "CEO Bo, are you really in there?" Shen Lin had an ambiguous look on his face. Although he had been trying to come up with a plan, he had no confidence that the thin Xiu Nong could actually take down Qiao Chunan.


    After all, a person who didn''t know what a woman was didn''t have the ability to turn him into a master of love.


    The CEO of the thin-skinned man was noncommittal. He only revealed a smile that could cause one''s jaw to drop.


    At work the next day, Shao Yishuo appeared at the company that Yu Di worked for, just in time to bump into Qiao Chun An who had come to work.


    Although Shao Yishuo knew that there was a girl in the company that Lan Shuyin had taken a fancy to, he had no idea who she was.


    Qiao Chuan was wearing a work suit. His facial features were very pretty, and his body matched his work suit perfectly.


    When Qiao Chunan entered the elevator, Shao Yishuo''s eyes lit up as he sighed in his heart. This girl was perfect for his taste.


    "Beautiful lady, I''m a friend of your CEO. He asked me to come over to discuss some matters. Can you take me to his office?" How could Shao Yishuo not act when he saw a beauty?


    Hearing Shao Yishuo''s somewhat offensive address him, Qiao Chun An''s brows slightly creased. However, hearing that he was the president''s friend, he pursed his lips and didn''t reply.


    How could a friend of the president not know about the president''s office?


    She frowned, but still led him upstairs politely before heading back to her office.


    Seeing the beautiful woman ignore him, Shao Yishuo walked into the office.


    When Bo Xiuniang arrived, Shao Yishuo excitedly talked about the beautiful woman he had met in the elevator this morning.


    After all, it was rare to see such a beautiful girl who could ignore her own charm.


    However, before they could finish their conversation, Qiao Chunan brought over the documents that he had been organizing over the past few days.


    When Shao Yishuo entered the room and saw Qiao Chunan, his eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the thin elementalist give him a glance.


    A wave of cold air passed over his head, and he instantly understood what was going on.


    This girl ¡­ Qiao Chuan?


    As expected, there was no man who didn''t like beautiful women.


    "Qiao Chuan An, this is Shao Yishuo, the legal advisor for Shang Hua Entertainment." The thin cultivator took the document and introduced Shao Yishuo to Qiao Chuan.


    "Shao Yishuo, this is the company''s legal advisor." As he said this, he turned to Qiao Chunan, "For the time being, I''ll hand over the case of Shang Hua Entertainment to him."


    Hearing the name ''Shao Yishuo'', Qiao Chunan''s eyes lit up. The bad impression he had disappeared.


    Wasn''t this Jane''s old student, the great scholar of the legal field?


    "Beauty, looking at your expression, I always had the illusion that you were going to strip me naked." Shao Yishuo casually said, "You were ignoring me earlier, but now that you''ve heard my name, you''ve been captivated by me, haven''t you?"


    "Shao Yishuo, Qiao Chunan is one of my employees. Be careful when you speak." When the thin Shuren heard Shao Yishuo''s words, her eyebrows knitted together and her expression turned serious.


    "Mr. Shao, you must be joking. This is the respect and admiration that the industry has for you." Joachim stood next to him, waiting for him to sign the papers.


    But from time to time, his gaze would fall on Shao Yishuo.


    "I don''t mind if you convert the respect the industry''s newcomers have for me into that of the women for the men." Shao Yishuo looked at Qiao Chunan as he said these words, but his peripheral vision was still sweeping over the face of the thin cultivator.


    The smile on Shao Yishuo''s face became more and more unruly as he saw Tang Wulin''s expression get worse and worse because of what he said.


    Hearing Shao Yishuo''s words, Qiao Chu An was a bit stunned, but in the blink of an eye, he thought of the comments he had made about Shao Yishuo.


    His professional ability was very strong, and he was also very open with the game.


    It was especially chaotic when it came to relationships between men and women.


    However, this had nothing to do with her, and she would not have anything to do with him. Right now, her primary goal was to improve her own professional abilities.


    "CEO Bo, I think highly of your company''s legal advisor. Do you want her to follow me?"


    Hearing Shao Yishuo''s words, Qiao Chunan''s gaze immediately shifted to the thin elementalist, with a pleading look in his eyes.


    She hoped that he would agree to work with her on the matter of Shanghua Entertainment.


    If she could complete this lawsuit with Shao Yishuo, her ability would definitely be greatly improved.


    Seeing the pleading look in Qiao Chuan An''s eyes, Jian Chen''s face darkened. Although this was his plan when he called Shao Yishuo here, but now that he was being stared at by Qiao Chuan, he suddenly didn''t want her to work with him anymore.


    He understood Shao Yishuo.


    Although he would give him some face and not get involved with Qiao Chuan, that did not mean that Qiao Chuan would not like him!


    It wasn''t that he was looking down on himself, but for him and Shao Yishuo, it was clear that Shao Yishuo was better at coaxing women.

 C17

    "Beauty, if you really want to follow me, just say it, I promise I''ll make your CEO completely obedient." Shao Yishuo could see the unhappiness in her eyes. It was not easy to find an opportunity to tease him, he would not easily give up.


    "Qiao Chuan An, you go down first. I will look for you later on." Being stared at by Qiao Chuan made Xiu Lan''s heart feel uncomfortable.


    Seeing that Bo Xiuran had not mentioned his request to her to go with Shao Yishuo, Qiao Chu An did not say anything anymore. He took the documents and prepared to leave.


    "Beauty, if you have any questions, you can ask me in private." When Qiao Chunan was about to leave, Shao Yishuo blew him a flying kiss, his watery peach blossom eyes not concealing their charm at all.


    After Qiao Chunan left, Yu Rou''s words calmed Shao Yishuo down.


    "I think we should go to the dojo tonight to exchange our feelings."


    "I don''t want to talk to you." For a cultured person like him, he didn''t like the way martial artists communicated at all.


    "To be honest, I could have brought Jocelyn." With beautiful women working together, their mood could be much happier.


    Although he didn''t know how to do anything, looking at a beautiful woman would increase his work efficiency by a lot!


    But asexual people like Sheehan do not understand such an interest.


    To Shao Yishuo''s suggestion, the thin cultivator declined to comment and even doubted if he had caused trouble when he first came over.


    "Let''s not talk about this. Take a look at this lawsuit. How confident are you?" Instead of continuing the conversation with Qiao Chuan''an, he went straight to the matter of Shanghainese Entertainment.


    Speaking of proper business, the carefree expression on Shao Yishuo''s face withdrew as he began to seriously work.


    After looking through the information given to him by Xi Shuo, Shao Yi Shuo''s expression became more serious.


    "According to the information you gave me, just by looking at the surface, I can tell that Shanghua Entertainment has a high chance of winning. "However, there are many traps hidden among them. If we were to really follow these information and fight, we will definitely lose this case."


    "I wonder where the Su Clan found this lawyer. These methods are really slick!"


    When he said this, he sounded like he was praising, but there was no expression of approval on his face.


    "This method, it''s really a tumor." I really wonder where the Su Clan got their lawyer. "


    Hearing Shao Yiran''s words, he knew that he had a lot of confidence in this case and decided not to interfere in this matter. Anyways, as long as Shao Yishuo gave him the solution to this problem, it would be fine.


    "The Su Clan has indeed grown a little in recent years." Xiuran was very clear about what happened to Qiao Chunan. After the Su Clan targeted Madam Qiao, they expanded a lot.


    Hearing this, the smile on Shao Yishuo''s face had a dubious expression, "In the past, I''ve never seen you say that the Su Clan swelled up. Are they taking revenge for a beauty now?"


    He didn''t know who that woman was, but after he said her name, how could he not figure it out?


    Wasn''t Qiao Chunan the first lady in S City all those years ago?


    Just now, he thought that the woman looked very familiar. He thought that all beauties looked the same.


    However, he had just returned home and did not know that Qiao Chuan had also returned. It seemed like the CEO had already been blocked by the beauty for a round.


    "However, based on my experience viewing women, your family member does not wish for you to make a move."


    "This is a matter between me and her. Why do you care so much?" The thin Shuren was a little distressed by Shao Yishuo''s words, and she quickly changed the topic.


    "Should I, as your brother, give you some advice?!" Shao Yishuo was sitting in the office of the Elementary Scholar, the gossipy look on his face was not concealed at all.


    "Scram!" Your ideas are all rotten! " Xi Xiuran did not trust Shao Yishuo''s words at all.


    If he was allowed to help her, he could make another girl into his own.


    It wasn''t as if this had never happened before. If he believed him, then he would just be sending Qiao Chuan An to him.


    "In the past, I was too young and didn''t understand. This time, I definitely won''t do it again!" Shao Yishuo also knew of his dark history.


    The thin cultivator''s gaze became cold and Shao Yishuo immediately changed his words.


    "Fine, fine, fine. I''m the one meddling in this matter!" He was not angry. Did he not understand the temperament of the thin Shura? Did he not know that they were friends?


    "If you have no problems with Shang Hua Entertainment, you can leave." He did not show any courtesy towards Shao Yishuo and decisively threw the matter to the side.


    Shao Yishuo immediately jumped up when he heard the thin-looking elder chasing him away. "CEO Bo, you''re really throwing it away after you''ve finished using it!"


    But he didn''t stay either.


    He took the documents and left the office.


    It was already a great gain for him to be able to see the joke of the thin shaman today.


    He really hoped that the process of carrying the beauty back would be longer so that he could see more of the process of turning around.


    It was interesting just to think about it.


    After sending Shao Yishuo off, Xiuran also began to process the documents on the table.


    He was very much at ease to hand over this case to Shao Yishuo.


    On the other side, Qin Guan learned of this news when Shao Yishuo arrived at the police station.


    He felt panic in his heart.


    Everyone in the circle knew of Shao Yishuo''s name.


    Originally, he had boasted in the Su Clan that according to his plans, Shanghua Entertainment would lose.


    But now that Shang Hua Entertainment had hired Shao Yishuo, he wasn''t sure if he could beat Shao Yishuo. He felt a bit panicked inside.


    Thinking about the fact that Jojouan was in Buxiu''s company, Qin Guan called him.


    Seeing that it was Qin Guan who had called, Qiao Chunan did not pick up the phone immediately. Instead, he did his work before calling him again.


    "Hello, Senior Apprentice Brother. Is something the matter?" With a pen in his hand, he ticked and drew on the text of the law.


    While working at the company, Mr. Joachim spends all his time reviewing the legal texts that need to be recited on a forensic basis.


    Even though she had already memorized them, she still liked to take them out and flip through them whenever she had the time.


    "Junior Sister, I thought about what you said to me last time when I went home. I forced it." As Qin Guan said these words, he paused for a moment. "It''s good that you work at Yunpang."


    "It''s the next time we''re in court, we''re going to meet each other."


    "Senior Brother, even if we meet in court, it will not affect our friendship." Qiao Chun An did not interrupt Qin Lie, but waited for him to finish, and then continued to speak out his thoughts.


    She wasn''t sure that what she had said last time would allow Qin Guan to understand.


    "But this time we may not match up in court." Qiao Chunan was trying to figure out the meaning behind Qin Guan''s call at this time.


    "Did you change lawyers?" Qin Guan opened the brush as if he did not care, but the hand holding the pen felt a little forceful.

 C18

    Hearing Qin Zhen ask this question, Qiao Chunan took a deep breath, "That''s right, it''s time for the lawyer to change. It''s time for Shao Yishuo."


    "Isn''t Shao Yishuo overseas? "Why did you come back when you had the time?" Qin Guan did not chat with Qiao Chuan An for long, and instead brought up the topic of conversation with Shao Yishuo.


    "Shao Yishuo is Jane''s student. If you followed him, you would definitely learn a lot of knowledge."


    Hearing this, Qiao Chu An finally found out the reason for Qin Tu''s call.


    They wanted to know from her if their company had changed lawyers.


    "Mr Shao came back to take a vacation, so the CEO invited him over." After all, many people knew that Shao Yishuo had come to the company today.


    This sort of thing couldn''t be hidden.


    Adding on to the fact that he had asked Shao Yishuo to come directly to his company, it was not like he didn''t want to show it to outsiders.


    "If there is a chance, I want to follow behind Mr. Shao and learn something." He had never tried to hide his thoughts.


    "Then you better follow behind Shao Yishuo and learn something. I still have things to do here, so I''ll hang up first." Qin Guan had confirmed the news, and the pencil in his hand was snapped by her.


    His expression wasn''t very good, and he thought about how he would surely win if he said his method in front of the Su Clan. He couldn''t help but be slightly vexed.


    He really didn''t think that the case of Shanghua Entertainment would end up in the hands of Shao Yishuo.


    In his mind, he was constantly thinking of a way to turn this matter around.


    The methods used in the Shanghua entertainment case were designed solely for Qiao Chuan and Zhou An.


    He was very clear about Zhou An''s methods. At the same time, he was even more clear about Qiao Chuan who had just left the school and had no actual experience.


    The methods above could be said to be designed according to the personality of these two people.


    If it were the two of them, he would definitely win the case that seemed like they were going to lose!


    But it was not certain now.


    On the other side, Qiao Chuan An''s face was still ugly after he hung up the phone.


    Recently, she seemed to have gotten to know Qin Guan better.


    Or perhaps it could be said that he had never understood what sort of person this senior brother of his was.


    Her senior brother, who had been very good to her, had actually turned out like this.


    "Qiao Chuan An, come over here. Take a look at this case and see if there is anything you need to add." After Jojouan hung up, Zhou An arranged the next job for her.


    Qiao Chunan, who was busy with his work, also threw the matter of Qin Guan''s opening to the back of his mind.


    Some people had already drifted further and further away.


    She couldn''t force others to stay the same.


    After calming himself down, Qiao Chunan once again returned to his hard work.


    She had to hurry up and take the judicial examination. This matter must not be delayed.


    Otherwise, she wouldn''t even be qualified to be a lawyer.


    The hours of hard work passed by exceptionally quickly.


    An afternoon passed quickly.


    When it was time to get off work, there were still a few things that Qiao Chuan had not done yet. Thus, he did not leave with Zhou An.


    At the same time, she was also waiting for the thin shaman.


    She wanted to ask about Anthea.


    She hadn''t seen him for almost a week, not since the last time Anthea had come home.


    Thinking of that child, the smile on Qiao Chuan''s face softened.


    He would glance at the elevator from time to time, but when he saw that Lan Jue was about to get on the elevator, he immediately went up to greet him.


    The thin Shuren saw that Qiao Chuan An was walking directly towards him and raised his eyebrows.


    This was the first time he saw Qiao Chuan take the initiative.


    She must have taken the initiative for a reason.


    Recently, the only thing she had been able to do to make him beg was to follow behind Shao Yishuo.


    As he thought of this, the gentleness on his face disappeared, and he became more and more angry with himself for his decision.


    He shouldn''t have brought up the matter of letting Shao Yishuo take over Shanghua Entertainment.


    "Mister Bo," Qiao Chun An walked closer. He noticed that the thin elementalist''s expression wasn''t very good. Just as he was hesitating about whether he should greet him, the thin elementalist''s expression became even worse.


    Qiao Chunan wanted to know more about Bo Anjin, so he did not go to analyze why Lan Shuyan was not in a good mood. He directly asked, "How is An An recently?"


    "You came here to ask after Ann?" After hearing Qiao Chuan An''s words, the thin Xiu Lan''s face eased up and asked a question.


    Without thinking any further, he nodded.


    Was there anything else she could talk to him about?


    "An An has been making a ruckus for the past few days to meet you, but since you''ve been very busy recently, you didn''t let him come to the company." His mood was a lot better, and his tone was a lot gentler when he spoke.


    Hearing this, Jojouan thought the same.


    Recently, she had been busy with the case of Shanghua Entertainment. She did not have the time, and even if An An came, she would not be able to take care of him.


    "After a few days, when you are free, I will bring An An to find you." The thin Shuren''s eyes fell on the smooth neck of Qiao Chuan An, and he felt a slight itch in his heart.


    Qiao Chunan could feel the thin elven eyes that made her uncomfortable and he could not help but move to the side to hide.


    It just so happened that the elevator arrived at that moment.


    She followed him up to the elevator.


    The elevator was narrow, and there was nowhere for him to hide.


    Baoshu saw the look on Qiao Chuan An''s face and retracted his gaze.


    The elevator, however, captured Qiao Chuan''s current appearance. The skin on his face was like white jade, smooth, soft, and slightly shiny.


    Thinking this way, the memory of the Asherah returned to the time five years ago.


    During that intimate time with her, he seemed to be addicted to her.


    "Miss Qiao, I''ll take you home." As he stepped out of the elevator, she stopped him.


    He stepped out of the elevator.


    The company''s parking lot was on the ground floor, and the means of transportation for George''s home was on the bus, so he didn''t need to go to the first floor.


    You can leave from the first floor.


    She didn''t want anyone to know that she was in contact with the thin-skinned girl.


    Being blacklisted once was enough.


    The light in her eyes deepened as she watched the elevator door close.


    She wanted to keep her relationship with him, but it depended on whether he agreed or not.


    Persephone went to the parking lot and pulled out.


    When he drove up to the entrance of the company, he coincidentally bumped into Jojouan, who was waiting for him at the bus stop.


    However, she didn''t move forward. Instead, she stopped and looked at the back of Qiao Chuan An.


    It wasn''t until Jojouan got on the bus that Perseus drove away.


    Qiao Chunan who was on the bus happened to glance out the window at the car just as he was about to catch a glimpse of it.


    Although he felt it was similar, he didn''t think too much about it.


    After all, she had been waiting for the car on the platform for almost ten minutes.

 C19

    The more Qiao Chuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss.


    The purpose of Qin Guan''s call was not that simple.


    It had to be known that Qin Guan was extremely anxious to be able to make a name for himself in the circle.


    And Shao Yishuo was very famous in the circle.


    Qin Zhen urgently wanted to beat Shao Yishuo in the meeting.


    Because it would be more advantageous to win against Shao Yishuo than to simply agree to this match.


    If he won this match, it would only be a start, but if he won against Shao Yishuo, then that would be a huge achievement.


    The thoughts that Qiao Chuan had about Qin Guan were the same thoughts that he had about Qin Guan.


    Right now, he urgently wanted to win the case against the Su Clan.


    Qiao Chun An thought of this and didn''t have the mood to do other things. Thinking of the care that he had shown her recently, Qiao Chun An started to prepare some things about Shanghua Entertainment at home.


    As the legal advisor to Shuriken, he felt the need to help.


    While Qiao Chuan was busy with his entertainment in Shang-hua, he received a call from Shen Lin.


    It said that there was another force on the Internet that belonged to Hei Jo-chuan.


    "Xiuran, did you hear the audio on the internet?" Shen Lin has connections in this area, as does his own company''s work.


    After the last call, the people below had noticed that there was a message from Black Joe Chuan and informed him.


    When he received a call from Shen Lin, he went to download the audio.


    The voice belonged to Qiao Chuan, but the tone was wrong.


    However, Xiuran did not doubt him and directly told Shen Lin, "This should be synthetic. You have to think of a way to suppress this."


    "Eight lifetimes of bad luck to be friends with you. Not only do I have to help you chase people, I also have to solve these problems." Shen Lin''s words drifted over. His tone was grumbling, but there was no dissatisfaction in it.


    This was how they disliked each other, but they helped each other when they needed help.


    Of course, their dislike of the thin elmer was their dislike of him.


    A thin surrogate usually did not directly say something that they despised.


    "It''s not synthetic. The publisher just made some cuts." Shen Lin knew more about this matter than Bo Xiuran.


    "It''s obvious that he was doing this for Black Joe Chuan when he was speaking. Even his lines were carefully crafted." At this point, Shen Lin''s gossip attack continued, "Do you think Qiao Chunan dug up the Su Clan''s ancestral grave or did he do something else?"


    "Is there such a crazy ex-best friend? Or did she really steal Su Ran''s boyfriend? "


    Hearing the words'' Su Ran''s boyfriend '', the expression on the thin Shuren girl''s face darkened. "Impossible. You should go and do something. Call me after the result."


    With that, he hung up the phone.


    Although he knew that there was no relationship between Qiao Chunan and Gu Nan, the thought of Gu Nan being Qiao Chunan''s fianc¨¦ still made Xiuran feel uncomfortable.


    That woman was blind, as were the Qiao family members.


    Otherwise, how could he have made an engagement with Gu Nan?


    After calming down for a while, the thin Shura finally pressed his eyebrows together. He discovered that his control over Qiao Chuan An was becoming more and more serious. This was not a good sign.


    "Dad, are you working overtime again?" When he received Shen''s call in the study, he hung up the phone before pulling at Shen''s clothes with the bear in his arms.


    "No, I just have some things to take care of." When he saw Bo Anjin, his originally gloomy expression immediately softened. "Why is An An here?"


    "Ann wants to sleep with Dad tonight." When Bo Anjin saw that his father''s expression was not that bad, he immediately brought up his request, "Father, when are you going to bring me to find Auntie Qiao?"


    "What, An An really likes Auntie Qiao?" "However, An''an is the eldest child. He needs to go to bed by himself."


    "I really like Auntie Qiao." Speaking of this, Bo Anjin unconsciously lowered his head, "I just don''t know if Auntie Qiao will like An An."


    "Don''t worry, Auntie Qiao really likes peace and quiet." "She even asked me today if you had been very obedient recently."


    "Then, dad, what did you say?" The expression on Bo Anjin''s face was a little nervous, "An An has always been a good girl. I didn''t even eat that much sugar I liked. "


    "Yes, An An is very obedient. That''s what I told Auntie Qiao. " He placed An An on his bed and kissed his forehead. "When Aunt Qiao is not so busy at work, I will take you to see her."


    "As long as An An performed well, I can let you stay with Auntie Qiao." When he said this, he did not look like he had been disheartened at all.


    Hearing her words, Bo Anjin immediately closed his eyes and said, "Then daddy, you should go out. An An will go to bed."


    Seeing the look on Bo Anjin''s face, Xiu Lun smiled, turned off the bedside lamp and went out.


    On the other side, Qiao Chuan An worked until midnight. Seeing that it was almost midnight, in order to not affect his work the next day, he had to sleep.


    On the second day, after finishing his work, Qiao Chunan used his time to search for the case of Shanghua Entertainment.


    Although the case of Shang Hua Entertainment was handed over to Shao Yishuo, he should know that she already knew about it.


    It took several days before Qiao Chuan was able to piece together some of the arguments.


    Originally, she thought that Shang Hua''s chances of winning this case were very high. However, in the end, she discovered that there were a lot of tricks and schemes hidden in this case.


    And these calculations happened to be part of the premise set by her senior brother.


    No wonder he was so worried about Shao Yishuo taking over the case.


    If it was before, she wouldn''t think this much. But now, she had to think this much.


    Fortunately, she found her weakness because of this worry.


    Although she wanted to openly pull down the Su Clan, that person didn''t necessarily want to be the same as her.


    She could not use the tricks, but she could not fail to know them.


    After a few days of work, the dark circles in Qiao Chuan''s eyes started to uncontrollably appear.


    One time, when he was delivering the documents, he looked at the circles in Qiao Chunan''s eyes and pretended not to care. "Miss Qiao, is there a lot of things to do in our company? "I see that you have been quite tired recently."


    "No, it''s my own personal matter. It has nothing to do with the company." Hearing her words, Qiao Chuan immediately explained. "My current condition will not affect the company''s affairs."


    "That''s not what I meant." It was unknown what was wrong with his words. He was clearly asking her with concern. Why was it that in her ears, she suspected that she might have some sort of influence on her work?

 C20

    "I know that''s not what Mr. Bo meant." "If there is nothing else, I will go out first."


    "It''s fine. You can leave first." The thin cultivator handed the signed documents to Qiao Chuan An. Before she left, he said, "Even if it''s a personal matter, you still have to pay attention to your body."


    "Yes, I understand. Thank you for your concern, Mister Bo." After saying this, Qiao Zheng walked out and closed the door.


    After returning to his office, Qiao Chunan immediately returned to the case of Shang Hua Entertainment after finishing the task at hand.


    The next two days were the weekend. Seeing that the date for the court session was getting closer and closer, Qiao Chuan decided to do all the hard work that she could for the Su Clan and Shang Hua Entertainment in the next two days.


    These two days on the weekend were like a fire in the ocean for Jocelyn.


    She had never felt she could do this.


    Continuously looking through the information, looking for the past records, the moves that the Chesu family might come up with.


    On Monday, when he went to work, he felt exhausted.


    He couldn''t let private matters affect his work efficiency. Before going to work, he had put on a thick layer of powder to cover his haggard face.


    But the good or bad color can''t think can be covered by powder.


    When he arrived at the company, he hadn''t even arrived, and he had already placed on her desk all the information he had prepared for her, as well as some that she thought he might use.


    Then he was busy again.


    When he arrived at the company, he saw the documents on his desk and raised his eyebrows. When he opened it, he saw some information about the Shanghai entertainment case.


    He was both angry and amused. At the same time, he felt a sour and astringent feeling in the bottom of his heart.


    He said what she was up to these days.


    It turned out that it was because of Shang Hua Entertainment''s matter.


    Clearly, the matter had been handed over to Shao Yishuo, didn''t it? Why do you always try to be brave?


    He had advised her to be careful of her body a few days ago, and she had even said that it was a private matter. Was this a private matter?


    Knowing that he wouldn''t listen no matter how much he tried to persuade her, he decided to give her some nourishment.


    He had initially been afraid that he would not be able to find an excuse, but now, this was the best excuse.


    He pressed his thoughts and called his family''s health restaurant. After arranging everything he needed, he told them to deliver it to him on time.


    Shortly before noon, before he could go to the cafeteria, he was called to his office by the Shura.


    He had thought that Lou Lan would have some other work to do, so he didn''t think too much about it. He said a few words to Zhou An before heading to the CEO''s office.


    "Come in." When he heard the knock on the door, he immediately answered with a "yes".


    The thin one saw Qiao Chuan An come in, pointed at something on the tea table and said, "This is for you."


    "Mr. Bo, what do you mean by this?" Qiao Chuan didn''t move. Looking at the food on the tea table, she was confused. She didn''t know if there was a problem with her or a problem with her cultivation.


    "This is your reward." The thin cultivator raised his head and looked at Qiao Chuan An with a warm gaze. He waved the information in his hand, "The employees of the company do their duty. As the CEO, I have to express my gratitude no matter what."


    Qiao Chunan only felt that there was something wrong with this sentence. However, she was unable to pinpoint what it was.


    Seeing the look on her face that could not be refused, Qiao Chuan sat down and started to eat the dishes on the table.


    After finishing the staff food that Bo Xiuran had prepared for her, Qiao Chuan An impatiently ran out of the CEO''s office, as if there was a vicious beast chasing after her.


    Seeing the look on Qiao Chunan''s face, Baoshu laughed lightly.


    Then, she thought about Qiao Chunan''s efforts on Shang Hua Entertainment''s case. It seemed like she was very concerned about the case with the Su Clan.


    As for his concern for the Shanghainese entertainment case, he didn''t think he had that charisma.


    Thinking of this, the thin Shuyan called Shao Yishuo.


    "Hello, CEO Bo, how come you''re free to call me today?" Shao Yishuo held his phone as he organized the last few cases on his hands. He didn''t forget to tease her, "Do you need me to come up with some ideas on how to chase a girl?"


    "How''s the case with Shanghua Entertainment going?" The thin cultivator cut straight through without giving Shao Yishuo a chance to circle around.


    Hearing those words, Shao Yishuo put down the case book in his hand and said in an inconceivable voice, "You actually called me personally to ask about such a small company''s case?" Do you have a problem? "


    "Shao Yishuo, it seems like we need to spar." The expression on the face of the thin elementalist turned ugly when he was asked this question by Shao Yishuo, he definitely didn''t care about things like this in the past.


    "Alright, alright, I was just asking. There''s no problem with Shang Hua Entertainment''s case, how can you not be relieved when I intervene? " Shao Yishuo was unable to dodge the sparring session with the thin elementalist.


    Shao Yishuo''s answer was within Lan Lan''s expectations, so he didn''t beat around the bush. "Then come over this afternoon. I want to hear what you have in mind for this case."


    Shao Yishuo did not need to think to know the meaning behind her words, "Do you want me to help you, beautiful lady Qiao?" "I understand, I understand. Come over in the afternoon."


    After hanging up Shao Yishuo''s call, the thin cultivator called Qiao Chunan over.


    "Mr. Bo, is there anything you need?" Qiao Chunan was somewhat shamed by the fact that he had come to the CEO''s office.


    He was afraid that the thin shaman would not play his cards according to common sense.


    "Shao Yishuo, come over later. You should talk about the case of Shanghua Entertainment with him." Seeing how much Qiao Chuan An resisted him, the thin Shuren couldn''t help but chuckle. This rabbit like intuition was quite interesting.


    "Really?" Hearing this, Qiao Chuan''s eyes lit up.


    In the past few days, Qiao Chao An had deeply recognized his own inadequacies.


    She had discovered several loopholes in the law when she was sorting out the Shanghai Entertainment case, but they were not really loopholes when it came to pursuing the matter.


    Xiuran''s gaze landed on Qiao Chunan''s face. Seeing the surprise in her eyes, he could not help but feel a little jealous, but he could not show it on his face.


    About ten minutes later, Shao Yishuo arrived.


    "Yo, even beauties are here!" As soon as Shao Yishuo entered, his gaze fell on Qiao Chunan.


    As for Xiuran, what was so good about men?


    Although a beauty wasn''t his, it was good to see his eyes being nurtured.


    "Mister Shao." He was already used to the way Shao Yi Shuo called Qiao Chun An, so his face didn''t show the same embarrassment it had at the beginning.


    "Beauty, let''s go to the side and discuss the case regarding Shanghua Entertainment." Shao Yishuo glanced at the gloomy face of the protector, the smile on his face became even wider, "Being watched by the protector here, the pressure on me is immense."


    "Then let''s go to the side." At this point in time, Qiao Chu An had completely forgotten about the existence of the emaciated demon.

 C21

    The two of them were discussing the case of Shang Hua Entertainment and the Su Clan on another tea table in the office.


    Xiuran sat in his seat, occasionally glancing at the two people beside him.


    Seeing that they had gotten a little closer to each other when discussing these issues, the complexion of the thin Shura became a bit unsightly.


    The two of them had a heated discussion, but that was only for Qiao Chunan.


    However, Shao Yishuo had always been a talker, so he didn''t let Qiao Chun An know that he was helping her. On the contrary, it gave him the feeling that the two of them were progressing together.


    After discussing all of this with Shao Yishuo, she felt that she had benefited greatly from this discussion.


    Of course, she was also very clear about her own skill level, and she was even more impressed by the fact that Shao Yishuo was able to take her skill level into account.


    By the time they had finished discussing the matter, her face was as dark as a bag boy''s.


    Seeing the satisfied look on Qiao Chuan An''s face, Xiu Lan could not say anything.


    "Then that''s it. I still have other things to do, so I''ll be leaving first." While saying this, Shao Yishuo organized his things.


    After saying this to Qiao Chuan An, Shao Yishuo then shouted to Bo Xiu Nong, "CEO Bo Jianhan, I''ll be leaving first."


    With that, he turned and left.


    "Mm, I''ll treat you to a meal next time." "En!" Baoshan acknowledged, then lowered his head to work again.


    Qiao Chunan looked at Shao Yishuo''s back, and his eyes flashed. He stood hesitantly next to the desk.


    He knew that Qiao Chuan An was standing in front of him, but he ignored him. Right now, he was feeling a little irritated, so he did not want to pay any attention to her.


    Was he that scary when he was talking and laughing in front of others and wearing a straight face in front of her?


    "Mr. Bo, can you introduce me to Mr. Shao?" After a long while, Qiao Chunan overcame his fear of Xiu Lan and said, "I want to learn from Mr. Shao. There is no need to specially teach me. I just need to be his assistant."


    "That won''t do, Shao Yishuo is only on vacation, he will leave soon." The thin cultivator did not even think before directly rejecting.


    "Oh, I see. Thank you, Mr. Bo." Hearing that Shao Yishuo didn''t have the time, Qiao Chu An didn''t think about anything else and thanked him. Then, he decided to go out.


    Just as he was about to leave the CEO''s room, Shuren said, "Right, An An wants to see you. Do you have time today?"


    "I have time." Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across Qiao Chu An''s face.


    It had been a long time since she''d seen Anthea, and she missed him.


    She was clearly his superior''s child, but she didn''t know why she wanted to see him.


    When she felt the sight of him, she made up the missing piece in her heart.


    He knew that he was wrong, but he couldn''t suppress it.


    "Then when you get off work later, you can wait for An An to come over." At the mention of An''an, the dark expression on the thin Shuren Lun''s face finally eased up.


    "Yes." "En." Qiao Chuan An replied and left the office with a lighter step.


    The afternoon hours passed in anticipation.


    When most of the company''s people had left, Pershunne brought An An to knock on the door to Jojouan''s office.


    "Auntie Qiao, you didn''t come look for me." When Bo Anjin saw Qiao Chuan, he immediately pulled his hand away from the Shura''s and ran towards him.


    He ran over to her and stretched out his arms, trying to get her to hug him.


    "Auntie has been busy recently. I''ll definitely come see you next time." When he saw An An An, he immediately picked him up.


    When he picked it up, he found the thin surrogate standing in the doorway.


    "Mr. Bo." There was a hint of embarrassment on his face as he spoke in an embarrassed tone.


    She didn''t even know how to explain how she came to be safe.


    "Miss Qiao, just hold on. An''an is missing you."


    "Yes, Ann missed Auntie Qiao." The smile on Bo Anjin''s face was very obvious. He hugged Qiao Chunan''s neck and rubbed it against his neck.


    "Let''s go. I''ve already reserved a place. Let''s have a meal together." To prevent any embarrassment from behaving in such a manner, he walked forward.


    Qiao Chunan, who was carrying An An, followed Bo Xiushan, occasionally sharing their recent life with Bo Anjin.


    "Did Anthea listen to her great-grandfather recently?" Qiao Chuan''s voice was very gentle, more gentle when he spoke compared to his usual manner.


    Bo Anjin held onto Qiao Chunan''s neck, his eyes were filled with a smile, "Yes, yes. Anye has been very obedient lately."


    "Auntie, can you not wait so long before meeting me?" When Bo Anjin said this, the disappointment on his face was obvious.


    "Auntie will find time to rest and be at ease in the future." When Joachim heard An An An''s words, he also felt a bit embarrassed. It seemed like she had let An An''s pigeon in.


    "Then I''ll believe auntie this once." When Bo Anjin heard Qiao Chuan An''s words, he immediately smiled.


    The thin Shura who was walking in front of them heard their conversation, and the softness in his heart was struck once again.


    When the three of them arrived at the restaurant, the waiter saw the family of three had such high looks and faces, and the smile on his face became more sincere.


    "Sir, Madam, do you have an appointment for your family of three?"


    The waiter''s smile was sincere, but the contents of his words made Qiao Chunan helpless. Just as he was about to explain, the deacon spoke, "There''s an appointment. An appointment at 4: 30."


    "This way, please." The waiter led the way.


    Bo Anjin raised his head and looked at the Xiu Nong walking in front of him. Then, he tilted his head and looked at Qiao Chunan who was hugging him, his eyes rolling around.


    The sister said they were a family of three.


    If Aunt Qiao really did marry his father, could he call Aunt Qiao ''Mama?'' Then did he also have a mother?


    "Mom, walk faster. Daddy''s legs are too long." Bo Anjin was shocked when he suddenly whispered something into Qiao Chuan''s ear.


    Qiao Chuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the slender and elegant figure in front of him. Seeing that he did not turn around, his heart that had jumped out of his chest was retracted.


    She shouldn''t have heard An An''s words, right?


    "An An, have you forgotten what I told you before?" Qiao Chunan looked at Bo Anjin with a disapproving expression.


    Bo Anjin also knew that he had caused trouble, so he lowered his head and did not say another word.


    However, it was only a temporary moment of displeasure for the child.


    While they were eating, Xi Xiuran and Qiao Chun An looked at Bo An Jin. The awkward scene between them did not occur.


    For dinner, it could be said that all three of them were having a good time.


    After dinner, he was sent back home by Yu Shuang. Only then did he see the missed call on his phone.


    Qin Guan called her several times, but since he was out eating with An An, she muted her phone.

 C22

    "Hello, Senior Apprentice Brother. Is something the matter?" While he changed his shoes, he called Qin Guan.


    "Why didn''t you pick up the phone just now? Where did you go? " When Qin Guan heard Qiao Chuan''s voice, the question that had been plaguing his mind came out at once.


    "Senior Brother, were you questioning me just now?" The words that came out of his mouth made Qiao Chunan feel a little funny.


    They had nothing to do with each other. Was it necessary to speak to her in such a tone?


    "Chu An, I''m sorry. I''m not in a good mood. Can you come out and have a chat with me? " Qin Guan''s tone had softened, and he hoped that Qiao Chuan An would be able to talk to him for a while.


    Hearing Qin Guan''s softening tone, Qiao Chu An felt that he had spoken too forcefully. After all, Qin Zhen had helped her too much.


    However, thinking of the case that was about to be tried, he refused.


    "Senior Brother, our lawsuit is going to be filed soon, so let''s reduce the number of times we meet in private." Jojouan was afraid that when he started a conversation with Qin Guan, he would reveal the company''s affairs.


    He then refused to meet with Qin Guan.


    Very quickly, it was the day of the trial between the Su Clan and Shang Hua Entertainment.


    Although Qiao Chuan didn''t stand against the Su family in court as a defense attorney, she and the thin Shura both sat in the audience and listened to Shao Yishuo''s war of words against the Su family''s lawyer.


    As the lawyer of the Su Clan, although Qin Guan had the ability, he was still a bit immature when facing Shao Yishuo.


    After hearing this case, Qiao Chun An deeply understood his inadequacies and once again knew that Shao Yishuo had his own strength and fame to be able to become so famous in the circle.


    At the scene of the trial, the verdict was out.


    As expected, with the addition of Shao Yishuo, Shanghainhua Entertainment had beautifully won this lawsuit.


    During the trial, Qin Guan''s face was a bit ugly, so he wanted to comfort him.


    However, neither her identity nor her environment was suitable for such a thing.


    "Beauty, you have contributed to the victory of today''s match. Come to the celebratory feast as well." The moment Shao Yishuo got off the court, he no longer had the elite look of someone who had spent a lot of time in the court. He was just like a playboy who had long been involved in love.


    "Let''s go and eat together." Bo Xiuniang was standing at his side, and the light from the corridor fell on his body, giving him a particularly elegant and indifferent look, "Shao Yishuo is about to go abroad, you can be considered to be carrying it out for him."


    After hearing what Yu Shuang and Shao Yishuo said, it wasn''t good for Qiao Chun An to refuse them, so he followed them out.


    Although Shao Yishuo couldn''t be considered her master, he still gave him a lot of things. After hearing the news that he was going to leave, he felt a little disappointed.


    "Beautiful girl, are you reluctant to part with me?" Shao Yishuo saw the disappointment in Qiao Chuan''s eyes and smiled exaggeratedly. He walked up to Qiao Chuan and asked, "If you really don''t want to leave me, then I won''t leave."


    "Not at all, I just can''t learn much from Mr. Shao." Qiao Chuan smiled and said sincerely, "Mr. Shao''s trial today really made a rookie like me gasp in admiration."


    "Let''s go, Shen Lin is still waiting in the restaurant." Bian Shu saw that Shao Yishuo and Qiao Chuan were getting more and more happy, so he stopped their conversation.


    To the side, Qin Xuan watched as Qiao Chunan chatted and laughed with the two of them. For some reason, he felt unresigned and resentful towards Qiao Chunan.


    Of course, the three people on the other side of the line of thought were not clear about what Qin Zheng was thinking.


    After sorting out the documents, Qiao Chunan left the courthouse with Xi Shuo and Shao Yishuo.


    Today, he knew that he would be inviting Qiao Chuan, so he did not invite him to a bar. Instead, he went to a private restaurant with a quiet environment.


    By the time the three of them arrived, Shen Lin had already ordered the dishes.


    "Anthea knew that you were going to treat Miss Qiao to a meal, so she shouted that she was coming." Shen Lin turned to the side and pulled over Bo Anjin from the side.


    "Auntie Qiao, we meet again today." The smile on An''an''s face was very obvious. When he saw Qiao Chuan An, he pounced on her.


    Other than the three men, there were no other accompanying guests. Shen Lin had brought Bo Anjin along because he was afraid that Qiao Chun An would feel uncomfortable.


    Of course, this was also instructed by the thin Shura.


    One night, Qiao Chuan was taking care of the children while the three of them were eating and chatting.


    Bo Anjin was a very likeable person, so Shao Yishuo and Shen Lin would come over to tease him whenever they had the time.


    Although the celebratory dinner was not a lively one, it was exceptionally warm.


    This kind of warmth was something that everyone lacked.


    Qiao Chuan was also aware of the friendship between the three of them.


    "Auntie Qiao, I took the initiative to look for you this time. Next time, you have to take the initiative." When sending Qiao Chuan home, Bo Anjin pulled her clothes and seriously said, "You can''t lie to a child."


    "Alright, alright, alright. Auntie won''t lie to you. Next time, auntie will take the initiative to look for you." When he got off the car, he rubbed Bo Anjin''s head, said hello to the men on the car and got off.


    After a period of busy work, the case was finally concluded.


    It was as if he had gone through a tribulation. When he got home, he lay down on the bed.


    All of a sudden, his body relaxed and he became lazy.


    After finally getting up, he washed his face and rinsed his mouth before lying on the bed in a daze.


    Even with the Su Clan''s Buddhist Monk Hua Entertainment''s case, she had fought so hard. If she really fought against the Su Clan, what would be her chances of winning?


    Worried about the future, Joachim fell asleep in a daze.


    Just as he was about to fall asleep, his cell phone, which was placed on the bedside table, kept ringing.


    After struggling for a while, Qiao Chu An finally felt his phone over. Looking at the time, it was 3 in the morning. The phone number was opened by Qin Guan.


    Why did Qin Guan want to call him in the middle of the night?


    Even though he was thinking of this, he still picked up the phone.


    "Hello, is this Miss Qiao?" Just as Qiao Chunan picked up the phone, an unfamiliar voice sounded from the other side. Before the voice could finish, it was interrupted by a surprised exclamation.


    "Sir, I''ve already called for someone to come pick you up. All of you, control him."


    "Hello, Miss Qiao. Your friend here is drunk at the bar. Can I trouble you to come and pick him up?" The bartender''s voice was hoarse as he said, "The address is 98 Ring-Ting Road. Hurry over."


    With that, the other party hung up.


    There was nothing more that Qiao Chuan An wanted to ask her. The other side did not give her a chance at all.


    Qiao Chuan didn''t know how Qin Guan was doing in the city. However, after taking care of her senior brother for so many years, it was not reasonable for her to ignore him.


    After all, the two didn''t have the same mindset as a pro player before.


    Thinking this way, Qiao Chu An got out of bed. He roughly packed up his things, then took a taxi and went out to pick her up.

 C23

    Qin Guan drove the car to the bar, and after Qiao Chuan had the bar''s people drive Qin Guan up, he drove over to Qin Guan''s address.


    Along the way, the sound of Qin Guan''s humming made Qiao Chuan unaccustomed to it.


    In her impression, Qin Guan had always been a calm and self-sustaining elite.


    When he drove Qin Creek downstairs, Qiao Chun An got out of the car and helped him prepare to send Qin Creek upstairs.


    While Qiao Chunan was struggling to support Qin Guan up the stairs, his hands would occasionally brush past Qiao Chunan''s body, his lips would press against her cheek, and his words would carry the smell of alcohol.


    "Senior Brother, stop right now!" Qiao Chun An struggled to support Qin Creek while dodging his occasional moves. His face was somewhat unsightly.


    "An An, is that you?" Qin Guan didn''t take Qiao Chuan''s refusal seriously. Instead, his movements became more and more lively, his lips almost touching Qiao Chuan''s neck.


    The touch of Qin Creek made Qiao Chuan feel very uncomfortable. Warnings were useless, so Qiao Chuan simply let him go.


    Although Qin Guan went crazy from the alcohol, he still couldn''t stand properly.


    Seeing that Qiao Chu had let him go, Qin Guan crawled to his feet, trembling as he leaned towards Qiao Chunan. "An An An, how can you be like this? Can''t I raise you? Why must we go to Yunpang? Why do you have to be with her? "


    "Senior Brother, you''re drunk!" Qiao Chunan stood aside with an unsightly expression on his face. He did not take Qin Lie''s words to heart.


    Although Qin Guan''s actions made her uncomfortable, he had still helped her senior brother by a lot.


    Just as he was thinking about how to send Qin Guan home, Qin Guan pounced on him.


    Unexpectedly, when Qin Guan suddenly rushed over for the meeting, George was caught off guard and thrown himself onto the ground.


    "An An, is it because I didn''t help you deal with the Su Clan?" Qin Guan pressed down on Qiao Chunan, his lips almost touching Qiao Chunan''s face. His breath reeked of alcohol, making Qiao Chunan feel uncomfortable.


    Hitting his head on the ground, he felt a little dizzy.


    Qiao Chu An tilted his head to the side and dodged Qin Mo''s kiss. Both of his hands struggled nonstop.


    "Senior Brother, if you keep doing this, I''ll call the police!" Qiao Chuan forcefully pushed Qin Guan away from his body, but his strength was too small. Qin Guan, on the other hand, was drunk, so his strength was exceptionally great.


    With his right hand, he held Qiao Chunan''s hand above his head while his leg clamped onto Qiao Chunan''s legs.


    "Call the police? Then call the police! "I treat you so well, yet you treat me like this because of a thin nun. Is it because you despise me for having no money?"


    As Qin Guan spoke, he pulled at his clothes, "I should have let you be my woman, so that you wouldn''t think of leaving!"


    Qiao Chunan raised his head and saw that the expression of Qin Guan, who was pressed down on her body, was somewhat sinister. He did not seem to be the gentle and strict senior brother that she remembered at all.


    Tears streamed down his face and his body trembled.


    When Qin Creek bent down once more, Qiao Chun An gathered his strength and pulled out a hand. He picked up the lady''s bag that had just fallen and stretched his hand towards Qin Creek''s neck.


    Qin Guan had too much to drink, so he couldn''t keep his balance. With Qiao Chun An''s struggle, he accidentally fell to the side.


    He knocked his head on the stairs and felt dizzy.


    Standing up, Qiao Chuan rubbed the back of his head where he had been thrown to the ground. Looking at the bloody wound left by his elbow, a complicated feeling welled up in his heart.


    At this time, Qin Guan was lying on the ground, looking at Qiao Chunan who was facing away from the light. He felt unspeakable resentment in his heart.


    "Qiao Chuan, who was it that followed you around busily?" Qin Guan opened the stairs and stood up, looking especially sinister.


    He looked like a completely different person.


    "What did you do in those months when you disappeared? Do you really think I don''t know? I just don''t want to embarrass everybody. "


    Hearing Qin Guan mention this, Qiao Chu An''s face immediately turned pale.


    "What is it? Have you talked about your sore spot? " The corners of Qin Zhuang''s eyes were red, and his eyes were filled with anger, "I''ve done so much for you, are you secretly cursing me as a fool?"


    Thinking of the things he had done for her, Qin Guan''s expression became more and more sinister.


    "Why did I do that for you, do you really not know the reason?" Just as he was about to approach Qiao Chunan, he couldn''t control his body as he sat down on the stairs.


    "Senior Brother, I really didn''t think that you would view me like this." She knew that Qin Guan was kind to her, but she had never misunderstood him in this regard.


    Qin Guan also said to her not to misunderstand, he only treated her because of friends.


    Otherwise, she would have left him long ago.


    "If laozi didn''t want to sleep with you, who would be so damn nice to you!" Qin Wu was speechless, thinking that after all these years of being good to her, it was about time for her to get warm, right? But unfortunately, she was still as indifferent as before.


    Hearing these words, Qiao Chu An''s body slightly trembled, his heart was filled with complex feelings.


    As expected, there was no one in this world who was truly good to her.


    "You, you ¡­" It was the first time that Qiao Chuan had heard Qin Guan speak such explicit words. If it was an outsider speaking, she would definitely not feel well, let alone this senior brother who had been helping her the entire time.


    "Senior brother, this is the last time I will call you that." Qiao Chuan''s eyes glimmered slightly. "From now on, we don''t have to interact anymore."


    After saying this, Qiao Chuan stumbled out of the staircase.


    She couldn''t say anything unpleasant.


    Qin Guan was also the one who had helped her during that difficult time.


    Behind him, Qin Wu looked at the back of Qiao Chunan and the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile. The resentment in his eyes did not decrease in the slightest. He had given up his youth for her, and he had fed her like a dog.


    There were sparse stars in the sky.


    It was not easy to get a taxi in the middle of the night. Jojouan waited outside with his legs crossed in the cold wind for half an hour before he got to a car.


    When he got home, he fell on the bed before he could tidy up.


    In his sleep, Jocelyn returns to the days that made her look bad.


    He waited for that person''s favor every day in order to give him a child.


    And she needed the money he provided to get to Mrs Qiao.


    Those days were originally a form of destruction to her spirit, and tonight, Qin Guan used this method to tear her apart and bring her back to the crevice. Qiao Chunan felt especially uncomfortable.


    His body was curled up into a ball, and the tears at the corner of his eyes had already wet the pillow.


    The discomfort that he did not dare to vent previously was vented out in his dreams.


    She still had to save her father. She couldn''t be weak, she had to be strong.


    However, making his days of power difficult, he really wanted to go back to the past.


    Just as Qiao Chunan was sleepily dreaming, his phone''s alarm clock rang.


    His alarm rang three or four times before he forced his eyes open.

 C24

    When he opened his eyes, he found the roof spinning. He wanted to get up. He was dizzy, so he fell back onto the bed.


    The wound on his hand was already inflamed, and the bag at the back of his head had not disappeared.


    In this state, he could not work at all.


    With difficulty, Qiao Chuan reached for his phone and called Zhou An.


    Without saying much, he took a leave. Then, he threw his phone to the side and fell back on the bed.


    The patterns on the ceiling rotated and entered Qiao Chunan''s eyes. His head grew heavy and it didn''t take long for him to fall asleep again.


    As for the cellphone, there was no more electricity and it shut down automatically.


    On the other side, when Bo Xiushan came to work, he found that Qiao Chunan had not arrived yet, which was strange.


    The company worked at 9: 00 AM, but Qiao Chuan had already returned at 8: 30.


    As for the thin one, he usually did not come until nine thirty or even ten.


    Very rarely did they arrive on time.


    While Zhou Anlai was busy handing over the documents, Bo Xiu Nong asked casually, "How come you''re the one who sent the documents over here today?"


    "Jojouan is on leave." Zhou An didn''t think about anything else. After all, the information for the past few days had all been sent by Qiao Chunan. It was normal for the CEO to ask.


    "Leave of absence? Are you sick? " The signed hand paused for a moment before continuing, "It looked fine yesterday."


    "No one can say for sure." After saying this, Zhou An took the documents from the thin shaman and left the office.


    When he heard the news, he was a little worried. He held his cell phone, thought for a moment, and then made a phone call to Joachim.


    On the other side was the sound of his phone being shut down.


    Thinking that Qiao Chuan was still fine last night, at most he had a little cold, he stopped calling.


    Although she thought this way, she didn''t know what was really going on. She only felt that she had worked too long during the day.


    When it was time to get off work, Xi Xiuran was still a bit worried, so he drove to Qiao Chuan''s place.


    If it had been a cold all day, he would have answered the phone.


    He stepped on the accelerator and soon arrived at Qiao Chuan An''s place.


    After the doorbell rang, there was a knock on the door.


    "Bang, bang, bang ~"


    The sound was so loud that Qiao Chu An felt like his head was about to explode.


    He dragged his still dizzy body to the door and opened it.


    The sun outside the corridor was a bit dazzling. It shone on the body of the Shura, giving it a layer of golden light.


    It was a pity that Qiao Chunan was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the girl. Instead, he squinted his eyes, blocking out the sunlight.


    "Mr. Bo, why is it you?" Joachim leaned against the wall beside him, his voice weak.


    "What happened to you?" His gaze fell on Qiao Chunan. Qiao Chunan''s face was pale, his lips were cracked to the point that the skin on his lips had started to peel off. A glimmer appeared in his eyes.


    His already emaciated body now looked more like it would fall in the wind. He was extremely ill.


    "You''re sick." Xiuran frowned. His expression when he looked at Qiao Chuan An was one of disapproval. His originally indifferent expression now turned even more unsightly.


    His gaze fell on Qiao Chunan who was holding onto the wall on his elbow. Looking at the red mark, a glimmer flashed in his eyes and his heart tightened.


    "It''s fine, I won''t die." Qiao Chun An''s heart was a little bored, but the look in Xiuran''s eyes made her think of the month that had trampled her dignity on the ground. Her tone also turned bad.


    Qiao Chu An''s face was pale and he seemed to have understood something. "If there''s nothing else, I''ll close the door."


    While he was speaking, Qiao Chu An prepared to close the door.


    "You are sick, and you need to see a doctor."


    Jojouan didn''t have the strength to compete with the Siren for control of the door, so he turned and went back to his room.


    She was so dizzy that she didn''t even have the interest to talk.


    Seeing how uncooperative Qiao Chunan was, the thin Shura didn''t pester her any further. Instead, he went up to her and carried her to the car.


    Qiao Chunan was held in the arms of the Subtle Siren. He could feel the familiar texture of the muscles and his body involuntarily began to tremble.


    His eyes, which were already filled with water, started to water up.


    Qiao Chun An did not have the strength to struggle. She even had the feeling that she had stepped into that situation once again.


    The feeling of the person holding her made her feel extremely familiar.


    Even after five years, she was still terrified when she thought about it.


    Gritting her lips, her tears quietly fell and her body trembled. It seemed that this way, she would be able to escape from that embarrassing situation.


    She was a deserter, just as she had been five years ago.


    Initially, he thought that she would become much stronger upon returning. He didn''t expect her to remain the same as before.


    Qiao Chunan''s tears fell on the thin scholar''s clothes and seeped into his heart. It made his heart feel sticky and he felt like he was a traveler in the desert.


    And she was the spring.


    After placing Qiao Chu on the passenger seat, he immediately drove the car to the hospital.


    After sending Qiao Chuan to the hospital, Bian Shuang finally had time to find out why she was in such a state.


    She had clearly been in a good mental state when he sent her back home last night. Just what had happened in that short day?


    After giving the orders, Shuren Sioux took up his post next to Jojouan''s bed.


    He looked at her face.


    Little Qiao''s white face was devoid of any color, and even in her dreams, she was still frowning.


    Dian Xiuran couldn''t help but stretch out his hand to smooth her wrinkled brows. However, because of his approach, Qiao Chuan An''s body trembled slightly.


    When he saw this, he had no choice but to withdraw his hand and sit down beside her.


    Not long after, the news arrived. When it was clear that Qiao Chunan was doing this because of Qin Guan, the thin cultivator''s face became extremely gloomy.


    After making a series of arrangements against Qin Guan, Bian Shuang returned to the ward.


    He reached out and touched Qiao Chuan''s face, the skin on his face was as thin as ever, but the tears on his cheeks affected the feeling of his hands.


    Perhaps it wasn''t just the feel of his hand that affected him, but also his current state of mind ¡­

 C25

    Her influence on him was growing stronger and stronger.


    God only knew that when he heard what Qin Guan had done to her, he had actually felt the urge to kill.


    As for the sleeping Qiao Chunan, he didn''t dream of making things awkward for a month and instead thought of that young man.


    That tender youth who was like the warm sun, the one who caused her to lose her pain.


    The wrinkles on her forehead had also calmed down a lot. There was even a hint of a faint smile hanging on the corner of her mouth ¡­


    The weather in the early spring was rather cold. The door to the ward''s window was slightly open, and the fluttering curtains let in the sunlight.


    When the sun shone on his creamy face, his fine fur was glowing slightly with a golden light.


    His pair of obsidian eyes slightly opened, and he surveyed his surroundings like a small beast.


    With the warmth of spring on his palms, Qiao Chuan''s fingers moved. When he saw the thin chair by the bed, he was unable to suppress the pressure on his face.


    Jojouan reached out for the object beside the bed, and his hand slipped out of the thin handlebar.


    Sensing the movements in his hands, the thin Xiu Nan suddenly opened his eyes.


    "You''re awake?" The voice was somewhat quiet and hoarse, and the expression on his face was still as indifferent as before. He didn''t seem like someone who would accompany the bed.


    "You want some water?" He stood up and took the cup from her. He poured her a cup of hot water he had prepared for her.


    Then he helped her up and held the pillow against her back to make her comfortable.


    Qiao Chun An held the glass. The water wasn''t too hot, and through the glass, it was just enough to warm his hands. He was feeling a complicated feeling, so he didn''t look at the emaciated face.


    "Thank you for yesterday." After taking a few sips of water, he thought about how he was in a bad mood and had a slight blush on his face.


    "Also, I''m very sorry, I shouldn''t have caused you to lose your temper."


    After passing the cup of water to Qiao Chunan, he sat back down on the stool. His expression was still indifferent, but his gaze landed on Qiao Chunan''s face for a moment. "No problem. It''s easy to understand why someone is in a bad mood."


    "Were you here yesterday?" Glancing at the dark blue eyes of the thin cultivator, a warm feeling flashed across Qiao Chuan''s heart. She had never received such treatment to have someone wait on her when she was sick.


    What she did not expect, however, was that the man who had accompanied her to her bed was a man who had mended a little.


    "What happened to your injury?" "The doctor said you had a fever caused by an inflammation of your hand, and a slight concussion."


    "Ah?" I stumbled. " When Qiao Chu An said this, his expression was evasive. He couldn''t help but think back to the events of the night before.


    "Is that so?" The smile on the emaciated face eased, his lips pursed slightly, his eyelids half closed, his gaze falling on Qiao Chunan''s face. "I thought something happened to you."


    Hearing this, Qiao Chuan An bit his lip and smiled. "How could I? What could have happened to me?"


    "Seeing that you''ve woken up, it should be fine." He got up, took off his clothes from the chair, and placed it on his hand, "Then, I''ll be leaving first."


    "Mr. Bo," Jojouan called as he was about to leave the room, "thank you very much for yesterday."


    "Then take good care of yourself." He placed his hand on the door handle and paused for a moment. Hearing Qiao Chuan An''s words, he responded with a light laugh and left the room without turning back.


    Qiao Chunan watched as the slender figure of the thin cultivator disappeared from the door. He then let out a soft sigh.


    Did she fail to live up to the kind intentions of the thin shaman?


    But how was she going to talk about her senior brother?


    He stayed in the hospital for two days, and when the fever subsided, he was discharged.


    The medical fees were paid by the thin cultivator, she would feel embarrassed if she stayed any longer. Moreover, there were still a lot of things happening at Shanghua Entertainment, so she couldn''t rest peacefully in her heart.


    When she was in the hospital, Qiao Chunan had been in contact with Zhou An, and she knew a bit about Shang Hua Entertainment.


    Walking out of the courtyard, he had to make arrangements for his future before he could think about the things that had recently happened.


    This senior brother that had accompanied him all this time could be considered to have completely left her life.


    These unpleasant thoughts occupied and were thrown out of his mind in a short amount of time.


    The day after he was hospitalized, he went to work at Shanghainhua Entertainment.


    The entertainment company had a lot of legal disputes. After working hard all day, he finally had some free time.


    When he thought about the care she had shown her during this period of time, he pinched his fingers together and felt that she should thank him.


    See if there''s anything you can do to help.


    After all, she owed him too much.


    He walked to the door of the CEO''s office, knocked on the door, heard the door being pushed open and walked in.


    "Mister Bo, Mister Shen." Qiao Chunan saw that Bo Xiuran was chatting with Shen Lin. After greeting him, he stood to the side.


    "Miss Qiao," Shen Lin nodded his head, looking at the two of them teasingly. "You didn''t bring any documents here today, could it be that you have something you want to tell me?"


    As he said this, Shen Lin leaned on the sofa behind him.


    "What''s the matter?" The thin cultivator looked up, his eyes were clear and cold. Looking at the slim and graceful man in front of him, his expression was aloof and cold. His slender white fingers rested on his legs, making him look exceptionally elegant and enchanting.


    "Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Bo. If you have anything I can help you with, just tell me." Qiao Chao An stood aside. His face was filled with gratitude, but his words were flawless.


    "I''ll tell you if I need to." "If there''s nothing else, Shen Lin and I have other things to do."


    Hearing this, a hint of awkwardness flashed across Qiao Chuan''s face. His cheeks turned slightly red and his voice became a little nervous. "Sorry for disturbing you. I will leave immediately."


    She originally thought that she would be able to remain calm in the face of the thin shaman. She never thought that she would be so nervous.


    After Qiao Chuan left, Shen Lin said, "What happened to you two? They seem to be getting more and more distant from each other! "


    Even now, he was still addressed as Mr. Bo, and his tone was very unfamiliar, as if he had just met him.


    "Nothing." He thought about the words he had asked Qiao Chuan in the hospital that day. He had the feeling that he was being nosy and meddling in other people''s business.


    "I don''t believe you. If there really was nothing going on, would you do that?" Shen Lin did not believe what he heard from Xiuran. What was the character of this brother of his? He had been a friend for ten years. Wasn''t he clear about that?


    Even if something were to happen, he wouldn''t say it out loud.


    "Then what do you mean to Qiao Chuan An?" Shen Lin changed the method and asked, "Are you really serious or are you just playing on the spot?"


    "Half real, half fake." He knew that he had a desire for her, a possessive desire, but other than that, he did not seem to have any desire for her.

 C26

    "There''s actually such a thing that''s half real and half fake?" Shen Lin expressed his disbelief, but he also knew that he was unable to get anything out of him, so he didn''t ask this question.


    When Qiao Chunan came to find them, they had already left work. Not long after they finished talking, just as the two were packing up to leave work, Duan Wan directly walked into the CEO''s office.


    Duan Wan was a little beauty with an exquisite face like a doll, but his personality was quite straightforward.


    Duan Wan was wearing a red dress with a yellow belt tied around his waist, making his slim waist look extremely obvious.


    "President, will I treat you to a meal?" Duan Wan was leaning against the door, his smooth neck exposed and the ravine underneath visible to the naked eye showed that he had some skill.


    "Who told you to come up?" His cold expression became even colder.


    Shanghua Entertainment is a subsidiary of Mr Xi, who does not like the celebrities coming to his office at random.


    "Yo, Duan Wan, you''re treating this Lan Shuyan, you''re not treating me?" Shen Lin tried to ease the atmosphere. Although she didn''t think much of Duan Wan''s style, he was used to not making things difficult for her.


    "If Young Master Shen doesn''t mind, you can also come." Duan Wan laughed coquettishly as her body slightly trembled. She looked to the side and saw the weapon was moving even more, "CEO, are you really not coming?"


    "Get out! Don''t come up when you have nothing else to do!" The thin cultivator''s face did not look good as he directly ordered his men to leave.


    Shen Lin, seeing this, did not reply, but only smiled at Duan Wan.


    Duan Wan also knew that if he didn''t leave now, the consequences would be more than she could accept.


    "Alright, alright, I''ll go first." Duan Wan pulled his hair back from his ears, revealing his small and delicate earlobes.


    "Tsk tsk, Lan Shuyan, the people from your company are really talented!" From the moment Duan Wan entered the door until now, he had displayed his charm to its limits.


    Baoshu glanced at Shen Lin, but did not say anything.


    Duan Wan did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned around and went into the bathroom.


    When he heard the door of the CEO''s office close, he walked out of the bathroom on his high heels.


    "CEO, Young Master Shen, hello everyone, we meet again." Duan Wan walked over to the side of the thin cultivator, and leaned over slightly. From behind, the two of them seemed to be in close contact.


    However, with Duan Wan controlling the distance between them, it wasn''t hard to accept.


    Due to something falling into the office, when he took the elevator back, he suddenly saw the three people who were getting on the elevator. He lowered his head slightly and opened the door at the wrong angle.


    The company was very large, and there were twelve elevators. The one that Qiao Chuan An was riding on was close to the outside, while the one that was waiting for them was close to the inside.


    The moment Qiao Chunan stepped out of the elevator, he saw Duan Wan leaning on the mini shaman. Then, the elevator door closed.


    Looking at this scene, Qiao Chao An pursed his lips. He was feeling a little annoyed, but he did not know why. In the end, he could only blame it on how weak his body was now that he had recovered from his illness.


    "Duan Wan, do you think the company gave you too many resources?" When Duan Wan neared, the thin cultivator avoided it. His voice was slightly cold, causing Duan Wan''s expression to turn ugly, and his body to tremble slightly.


    Shen Lin leaned on the side, saw this, and smiled, "Duan Wan, you guys don''t know what kind of person your CEO is? "Just relax."


    After getting off the elevator, Duan Wan walked to the side. Shen Lin noticed that the thin cultivator''s face didn''t look too good, so he left as well.


    He wasn''t going to be unlucky.


    He had clearly seen Duan Wan''s movements just now.


    You still say that it''s half true? Now they were all worrying about Qiao Chuan An''s thoughts.


    Shen Lin shook his head as he left.


    He walked to the parking lot and sat in the car. When he thought about the expression on Qiao Chuan An''s face, his expression became much more relaxed.


    His long fingers resting on the steering wheel, Tatiana thought for a moment and then called Jojoun.


    "Hello, Miss Qiao."


    "Mr. Bo, is there something you need?" Qiao Chuan''s voice sounded even gentler through the internet.


    "Didn''t you say that you want to thank me?" Sheehan straightened his back and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. "Come to dinner with me tonight." I''ll wait for you at the company entrance. "


    The thin Shuyan didn''t give Qiao Chuan an opportunity to refuse. After saying this, she hung up the phone.


    "Ah?" "Oh, okay, I''ll be right down." Before he could finish his words, Qiao Chao An heard the sound of someone hanging up the phone. After finishing his words, he immediately turned around and packed his things.


    Five minutes later, George arrived at the company''s entrance.


    Looking at the parked car, he pursed his lips and walked to the side of the car with his long and straight legs and courage.


    Duan Wan, who happened to be driving out of the car, saw Qiao Chuan getting on the car.


    Duan Wan''s expression turned ugly as he watched a woman get into his car.


    At the same time, he took out his phone and secretly took a photo of Qiao Chuan An. He sent it to his assistant, asking her to check the name of the woman in the photo.


    He was a powerful merchant and was young, handsome and rich. With the addition of his good manners, even if he didn''t pay for it, he would still earn a lot of money by sleeping with him.


    So when he saw a woman get into his car, Duan Wan couldn''t accept it.


    After thinking for a moment, Duan Wan drove the car and followed them.


    The two people in the car had no idea that a car was following them.


    The place he chose for his meal was a health club. Inside, he would have a nutritious meal set according to the customer''s needs. There were also all kinds of medicinal porridge, which would be used to nourish his body.


    Duan Wan followed them into the health club. At the same time, Qiao Chun An''s identity was sent to Duan Wan''s phone.


    While Qiao Chunan was having dinner with the thin elementalist, Duan Wan hid within the private box and carefully read through all of Qiao Chunan''s information.


    After Qiao Chunan entered the health club, he found that the empress had ordered some porridge for her and knew that he had brought her here to recuperate her body.


    For some reason, a tinge of red flashed across Qiao Chuan''s face.


    He was clearly here to repay the favor, but he didn''t expect that the favor would only grow in number.


    "Thank you, Mr. Bo." Qiao Chunan''s delicate white fingers held onto a bone china spoon. His head was slightly below the surface, revealing his smooth neck. Under the unique dim yellow light of the Hall, he looked exceptionally enchanting.


    The thin cultivator pursed his lips as his expression became colder and colder. He changed his posture, "No need, I said that I would accompany me to eat."


    "By the way, Mr. Bo, how is your safety these days?" Qiao Chunan was cooling the porridge while he talked about his safety.


    She did not take the initiative to look for him these few days, so she did not know if he was angry or not.


    She clearly said that she took the initiative to look for him, but she went back on her word due to illness.

 C27

    "An Xin has been very obedient recently. She has taken the initiative to go to kindergarten." When he mentioned Bo Anjin, the expression on his face softened a lot.


    Qiao Chunan raised his eyes and saw the expression on her face. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.


    Anthea did not have her mother''s love, but her father loved her very much.


    Then she thought of her son, but as she thought about him more and more frequently these days, she felt that she didn''t feel that bad anymore.


    Since that man was able to pay so much money to conceive on his behalf, the child would definitely be able to live a good life.


    But even so, the dull pain in his heart still slowly attacked.


    "That''s great. An Xin will be able to interact more with her peers. That way, she won''t be lonely anymore."


    She really liked An An. She knew that An An was a little lonely without her mother, and now that the child was able to take the initiative to go to kindergarten, it meant that he had slowly walked out of his loneliness.


    They chatted about Bo Anjin for a while, and when they had finished eating, Yu Di took him home and rejected her offer to take a taxi.


    When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he left.


    Jojouan watched as the car drove away, then turned to go upstairs.


    Meanwhile, Duan Wan who had been following Bo Xiuran saw him leave and immediately opened the car door.


    "Jojouan." Just as Qiao Chunan was about to go upstairs, Duan Wan shouted loudly. Seeing that Qiao Chunan had stopped, Duan Wan brought her high heels and walked in front of Qiao Chunan.


    Duan Wan''s red dress made his eyes hurt. He took a step back and distanced himself from Duan Wan.


    "Who are you?" Qiao Chuan had just returned home, and not many people in the entertainment circle knew him. Of course, it was impossible for the artists under the company''s banner to know all of them.


    "Heh, you don''t even know who I am?" Duan Wan could not help but let out a cold snort upon hearing Qiao Chunan''s question, "I''m one of the best friends in the world!"


    "What has it got to do with me?"


    Although Qiao Chun An did not know much about the thin elementals, he had not heard much gossip and not many people came to visit during the half month that they had spent together.


    Even if this person was the confidante of Bo Xiushan, what did it have to do with her?


    After being together for so long, it was only on the day she returned that she found out that a famous celebrity had left the Bo family at night.


    Had she been the one at the airport?


    Qiao Chu An''s gaze fell on Duan Wan. After a moment, he realized that this was indeed the woman who wore the beige jumpsuit the other day.


    She did not recognize that the costume was different.


    "I''m his soulmate. You got off his car today, do you think it has anything to do with me?" Duan Wan wore sunglasses that covered half his face, and her slightly tilted chin showed her disdain for Qiao Chuan.


    Ever since she learned of Qiao Chuan An''s information, she had looked down on her and felt a sense of crisis.


    It was the first time she had ever heard of a woman in a car with a minivan.


    He was very cold to everyone, and she had to be careful that he asked a woman out to dinner today.


    "Aren''t you just a soulmate?" Qiao Chu An was not in a good mood. He thought back to what he saw on the elevator today. "Mr. Bo and I had a meal. Do I have to report this to you?"


    It''s not like she''s Mr. Bo''s wife, so why bother being so wide?


    With that, he prepared to leave.


    She didn''t like to talk about such things.


    "Qiao Chuan An, stop right there!" This was the first time Duan Wan had met someone who didn''t give her face, and the fire in his heart flared up all of a sudden. Even his words were a bit sloppy.


    "You were once the number one lady in City S, but now you''re doing such a thing! Does hugging your thighs feel good? "


    Hearing this, Qiao Chuan turned around with an ugly expression. "Who told you these things?"


    "Do you even need me to say that? They all reported it. " Duan Wan had a disdainful look on his face. His words were extremely unpleasant to hear. "You want to be with Xiu Nai? Don''t you see how you look like!"


    "The CEO doesn''t like you. Don''t try to seduce him! "


    "You said I seduced him?" Hearing this, Qiao Chuan felt both angry and amused. How could she not know that she had seduced him?


    "Could it be that the CEO has taken a fancy to you and wants to seduce you?" Duan Wan did not believe him at all, as he laughed and said, "Have you looked at yourself in the mirror?"


    As Duan Wan said this, he took off his sunglasses, revealing an extremely delicate face, "Do you think you can compare to me?"


    The fact that Duan Wan was able to do so well in the entertainment circle naturally had a lot to do with her looks.


    It wasn''t that Qiao Chunan couldn''t compare to Duan Wan, but as far as the visual impact was concerned, Duan Wan''s brilliance was extremely impressive, and Qiao Chunan''s beauty needed to be thoroughly experienced.


    Seeing Qiao Chuan''s gaze fall on his face, Duan Wan curled her lips. Her attitude was a bit haughty, and her actions were a bit slow as she put on her sunglasses.


    "Do I need to compete with you?"


    Qiao Chao An lowered his eyelids, and his expression eased up. The words he spoke were stuck in Duan Wan''s chest, "I have no time to care about you. If you feel that Mr. Bo should not have any relations with me, then go and find him!"


    Having said so, Qiao Chuan turned around and left.


    Qiao Chuan''s refusal angered Duan Wan. If she dared to go and look for the thin Xiu Lan, she wouldn''t be here.


    Duan Wan grabbed Qiao Chuan''s hand, his expression somewhat sinister. "You mean that you want to continue interacting with Xiu Nai?"


    "Let go!" Qiao Chao An patted Duan Wan''s hand. His expression gradually turned impatient. She admitted that she had never had anything to do with Ai Hui, not to mention seducing him.


    "You slut. You really are trying to seduce Xiuran!" Duan Wan couldn''t stand Qiao Chuan An''s aloof expression and extended his hand to slap him.


    Seeing Duan Wan''s actions, Qiao Chu An''s face turned extremely ugly. He stretched out his hand and blocked it.


    "You dare to dodge?" In the past, Duan Wan didn''t dare to act too often when he was attacked. Now that he met someone who dared to avoid her, his expression became extremely unsightly to behold.


    He made a move and prepared to give Qiao Chuan a slap.


    Qiao Chun An was exceptionally impatient with this struggle. When Duan Wan reached out his hand again, Qiao Chun An grabbed her wrist, causing her hand to land on his face.


    After being slapped in the face by him, the disbelief in Duan Wan''s eyes couldn''t be hidden.


    The fury in his eyes was like the fire in the mountain of fire, almost ready to burst out.


    "You dare hit me?" Duan Wan''s eyes bulged, and the red lines on his cheeks became even more obvious. It was obvious how much effort the person had expended.


    "Sorry." Seeing the red scar on Duan Wan''s face, George felt that it had nothing to do with her.


    However, she was the party involved. If apologizing could solve the problem, then apologizing was fine.

 C28

    "Qiao Chuan An!" You actually dared to hit me! " Duan Wan covered his face, his tone tinged with disbelief and rage.


    She had never had such an injury since she was born.


    From Duan Wan''s expression, Qiao Chuan knew that she wouldn''t accept her apology.


    If you don''t accept it, then don''t accept it.


    She couldn''t just stand there and wait for her to hit her.


    "I''m defending myself. If you feel unconvinced, you can sue me." Finishing this sentence, Qiao Chu An didn''t want to leave Duan Wan anymore and turned to leave.


    When Duan Wan saw Qiao Chunan swagger away after beating her, her eyes were filled with resentment.


    Filled with anger, Duan Wan returned to her car, determined to take revenge.


    However, Qiao Chun An''s heart was also a bit depressed. Ever since he was sent home by Bo Xiu Nong last time, news of him being sent home by a destitute and famous woman came. This time, his best friend came to look for trouble.


    If he stayed with her for too long, wouldn''t he face more trouble in the future?


    Qiao Chu An pressed the center of his brows and cast aside the frustration in his heart. Then, he went home to take a bath and start reading.


    He couldn''t let the matter regarding the judicial examination rest.


    The next day, Qiao Chunan started his work in high spirits.


    But not long after she started working, she received many cases that were not in her hands.


    There are many disputes between stars, between stars, between stars and marketing numbers, between marketing numbers and marketing numbers, these interests are prone to problems.


    Most things come out of PR.


    In the end, PR won''t come out. Only then will it use the law.


    But the law is also a form of public relations.


    There were a lot of things about PR, so when Qiao Chuan saw that there were more cases, it was obviously about PR. However, if he said there was no violation of the law, then it was against the law.


    There weren''t many legal advisers, and that wasn''t their concern.


    Qiao Chuan took the documents and went to the Artist Department. He was prepared to inquire about the details.


    Otherwise, if all the random things that happened in the Artist Department were thrown at the Ministry of Justice, would they still be alive?


    When he went to the artiste department, he met Duan Wan who was sitting in the director''s office.


    When Duan Wan saw Qiao Chuan, a trace of obvious ridicule flashed across his face.


    "Director Li, are all of you sure that you need to go through the legal process?" When she saw Duan Wan, she already knew what was going on.


    This was Duan Wan purposely making things difficult for her.


    He didn''t try to cover it up at all.


    "Miss Qiao, this isn''t something that your Ministry of Justice should do, is it not possible?" Director Li wore a simple and honest smile. He didn''t seem to be aggressive in the slightest and spoke as if he was having a good discussion.


    "Chief Li, this is not a question of whether or not we can do it. Rather, these matters are obviously questions from the Public Relations Department. What is the meaning of you handing it over to us?"


    As for whether or not the Ministry of Justice would have to take up this matter in the future, he would not allow it.


    "I think there''s no problem." Chief Li flipped through the documents in his hands, "Look at this, isn''t it a slander? and the amount of light that''s coming out of it is pretty light. This is also true, these issues are all related to the law. "


    Director Li did not give in at all.


    On the other hand, Duan Wan sat nearby, a faint smile on his face, an obvious smile in the depths of his eyes.


    Anyway, she was the one who was messing with her today.


    The people from the Ministry of Justice had been implicated by her. Heh, after the people from the Ministry of Justice knew about it, they would not dare to be so arrogant in the future.


    He actually dared to hit her. Did he really think that he had climbed up a high branch?


    Qiao Chunan argued with Chief Li, but he was not as scheming as Chief Li. He was invited out of the office.


    Holding the document in his hand, Qiao Chao An was shaking in anger.


    Originally, the procedure for filing a case for trial was very complicated. It would probably take at least ten years to complete such a huge pile of documents.


    When Qiao Chu An left the office, Duan Wan also followed.


    "Miss Qiao, there are some things you can''t solve just by climbing a tall branch." Duan Wan looked at the anger on Qiao Chunan''s face and chuckled. As he walked past Qiao Chunan, he said something.


    "Duan Wan, don''t go too far!" However, he guessed that she was in the company right now. He put down all the expressions on his face and hurried back to his office.


    There were so many things that she might not even be able to complete them by working overtime.


    There weren''t many people in the Ministry of Justice, so it was impossible for her to leave these matters to others. She could only do it herself.


    Shang Hua Entertainment left work at half past five in the afternoon, but Qiao Chuan An had to work until nine o''clock to be able to do something about it.


    In order to file a case, the evidence and legal provisions must be prepared.


    Finally, they had to be brought to court at a certain time.


    After all, there were some things that needed to be pursued.


    When he got home from work, he was completely exhausted.


    The same thing happened at work the next day.


    Duan Wan even personally brought over the documents of the artists'' department, which had been frozen for various reasons, and asked her to file a case for those who had been hacked.


    One had to know that the artists who were refrigerated had no value. Such actions would not be of any use to the economy of Shanghua Entertainment.


    In addition to the fact that those people had said that they had been hacked into a wall, it was actually not. Instead, it had really happened.


    After a week, Qiao Chun An was so tired that he seemed to be in a trance.


    He even spent the weekend working overtime.


    This week was more time-consuming than the dispute between Shanghainese Entertainment and the Su family.


    Basically, they were all useless statistical work.


    He originally said that he would find a good time to bring her along, but now, he couldn''t find any time.


    Still, Joachim called and told Bo Anjin so the kid wouldn''t think she was breaking her promise.


    An adult cannot turn in a child without a promise.


    Joachim looked at the papers on his desk, rubbed his head, and went back to work.


    On Monday, Qiao Chuan returned to his seat. He was holding the so-called reputation cases that he had spent so much effort to sort out over the weekend. Seeing that there were a lot of documents on the table, he could not suppress the anger in his heart.


    This was the tempo of a person being driven to his death!


    Qiao Chunan did not immediately go to see Chief Li. Instead, he did something else.


    She didn''t want to do it anymore, whoever wanted to do it would do it.


    She came to Shanghai-China as a legal adviser to make profits for Shanghainese Entertainment, not to do some statistical work, such as the number of times a star''s slander had been forwarded.


    Qiao Chuan didn''t go to see Director Li, but Duan Wan personally came to the Ministry of Justice.


    "You''re quite capable, George." Duan Wan walked over to Qiao Chunan''s seat and flipped through the documents given to her last week. With a smile that was full of mockery, he said, "I hope that you can finish these cases within a week."

 C29

    "Duan Wan, if you carry these things back, I won''t do it." Qiao Chuan''s expression was exceptionally cold. His gaze did not fall upon Duan Wan. He tapped on the keyboard, clearly busy with his own matters.


    Hearing Qiao Chuan''s rejection, Duan Wan laughed, "Do you think you have the right to refuse? Aren''t you afraid that you will fall if you fail to climb up this high branch? "


    "Climb higher? You''re talking about yourself, aren''t you? You think everyone else is like you just because you''re what you are? " Qiao Chuan stopped tapping the keyboard and looked up at Duan Wan who was standing in his office. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.


    Seeing Qiao Chuan''s expression, Duan Wan was sure that he was mocking her. The anger in her heart was aroused by Qiao Chuan.


    "You dare say you don''t have that thought?" Duan Wan reached out to pull Qiao Chuan An out of his work room, but then he heard someone in the crowd saying that the CEO had arrived.


    The Ministry of Justice was on the first floor with the CEO''s office. To enter the CEO''s office, Yu Xiu would have to pass through the Ministry of Justice.


    Hearing the voice of the CEO, Duan Wan instantly retracted his hand and immediately tidied up his appearance.


    When Joachim saw this, he could not help but twitch his mouth.


    The company was much more effective at this than the others.


    He was the CEO, so he didn''t have to come back to the company every day.


    After all, the CEO needed to go out on a business trip with someone, and she also needed to socialize with someone. It was impossible for her to be in the company every day.


    But every time she got into trouble, he seemed to be at the company.


    Thinking of this, Qiao Chu An could not help but smile and shake his head.


    Being told by Duan Wan that she was with Yu Rou, she also felt a bit of other emotions.


    There really are enough for me to be sentimental.


    While he was thinking about these things, Shura walked down the corridor to his office.


    When he entered the office, he turned around and saw Duan Wan standing beside Qiao Chunan. He frowned slightly and called Duan Wan to follow him.


    Seeing Duan Wan enter the CEO''s office, Qiao Chun An let out a sigh of relief.


    She didn''t want to start a fight in the company.


    It was impossible for her to take a beating on her own. If something like that happened again, it would cause a huge commotion in the company.


    After being targeted by Duan Wan, Qiao Chunan went back to check out her information.


    Although the news online was not true, Duan Wan really had a lot of fans. If the news of Duan Wan being beaten were to spread, then she was afraid that even her ancestors and 18 generations of ancestors would be dug up by those fans.


    Duan Wan, on the other hand, had a look of joy on his face when he heard the thin scholar call her into his office. He followed the thin man into the office with a graceful posture.


    "Duan Wan, I thought you were a smart person." Duan Wan did not even have the time to show his best side, and was already stunned by the attack.


    "CEO, what do you mean by that?" Duan Wan pulled up the hair at his ear, panic flashing across his face, but he immediately covered it up and pretended to be calm as he asked, "Did I do anything wrong?"


    "Duan Wan, I see that you''re an artist from my company, so don''t go overboard by closing your eyes when it comes to things like that."


    Even though Duan Wan dragged his name into the magazine, he did not stop him, so he did not agree.


    She just felt that this would make her economic value a little higher.


    If not for that, he would have suppressed the news as soon as it came out.


    "CEO, I think you must have misunderstood me." Duan Wan took a step forward and slightly leaned forward. Just as she was about to move closer to the handshake, the handshake directly called the secretary to come in.


    "Throw her out." "Let''s go inside," the thin cultivator told his secretary, not leaving a shred of face for Duan Wan.


    When his secretary came in, Duan Wan''s face darkened. Without waiting for his secretary to rush her, he walked out of the office in a hurry on his high heels.


    If she was really kicked out by the secretary, then she would lose all face.


    Duan Wan hurried towards the Artist Department, and when he passed by Qiao Chunan, he gave her a fierce glare.


    She felt that it must be because of Qiao Chuan An. Otherwise, why would the thin cultivator not care about this matter in the past? Why would he suddenly want to meddle in this matter today?


    Duan Wan stared at him in bewilderment.


    While he was working earnestly, someone from the Artist Department came over to move the documents that he had brought back this morning.


    Director Li even came over to apologize.


    Looking at this scene, Qiao Chunan had a strange feeling that the one who had come today was the one who had saved her.


    However, this thought only went through a circle in her mind before it was tossed out of her mind.


    She must have been imagining things.


    As a person, the most important thing is to know yourself.


    Without the work of the artists, today''s work was very easy.


    After finishing his work, it was time to get off work. This time, Qiao Chuan An did not stay to work overtime. After work, he went straight home.


    After a busy week, he had not been able to sleep well every day.


    Jojouan felt that he had to go back early to catch up on his sleep.


    He slept soundly. When he woke up and looked in the mirror, he saw dark circles under his eyes and sighed. It looked like he would need to rest for a few more days.


    When he arrived at the office, he found that Qiao Chun An was still working seriously.


    But today, Sheehan did not come to the company.


    Ye Zichen looked at the office of the president that was locked away, while feeling a bit of yearning for it.


    When he thought of this idea, he immediately eliminated it from his mind.


    When lunch time arrived, the phone rang. Qiao Chuan saw that it was the thin Xiu Nong, so he immediately picked up, "Mr. Bo, is there anything I can help you with?"


    "An An has a fever and wants to see you. Can you come over?" The tone of the thin cultivator was cold as always, but when listening carefully, one could hear the worry in his voice.


    "An An''s got a fever?" Is it serious? "Which hospital and which ward are you in, I''ll be right there." Qiao Chu put down the plate and immediately went back to the office. He took the phone and walked quickly to the office.


    Hearing the voice from the other side, the thin Shura looked at the bed and pursed his lips, "It''s not very serious, the hospital is the same hospital from last time. The ward is on the sixth floor of the children''s ward, room 3."


    "Be careful when you come over." Hearing the sound of the chair being moved, Xiuran frowned and his tone became even colder.


    "Oh, I know." Having said so, Qiao Chuan hung up the phone and immediately went to ask for a leave of absence from Zhou An. Then, he walked towards the hospital.

 C30

    Half an hour later, Qiao Zheng An rushed to the hospital.


    Five minutes later, Qiao Chuan appeared outside the ward.


    After calming his breathing, he knocked on the door.


    Hearing the knock on the door, Bo Anjin''s gaze immediately turned towards the door. Seeing this, Bo Xiuniang smiled and walked over to open the door.


    "Auntie Qiao, you''re finally here." When she saw Qiao Chuan An, she immediately extended her arms to hug him.


    When Qiao Chu An saw this, he immediately held Bo Anjin in his arms and reached out for his forehead, "It''s still a little hot. Do you feel uncomfortable about it?"


    "Seeing Auntie Qiao makes my mood a lot better." Bo Anjin could feel Qiao Chuan''s concern for him. A big smile hung on his face. "Auntie Qiao, I''m very unhappy that you didn''t come to play with me this week."


    Qiao Chao An changed his position and pushed Bo Anjin back into bed. His expression was very gentle and his voice was very gentle, "Auntie is busy with work. You can play more with the children in kindergarten. That way you won''t be lonely."


    "I don''t like to play with them." Bo Anjin continued to rub himself against Qiao Chuan''s chest, lying on the bed without cooperating at all.


    Speaking of the kindergarten friends, Bo Anjin pouted and whispered into Qiao Chun An''s ear, "They all said that I don''t have a mother, they are all a bunch of bad children."


    "Yes, they are all a group of bad kids without manners. Anthea is very obedient." Seeing that Bo Anjin really didn''t want to lie down on the bed, he wrapped the blanket around him.


    The weather in early spring is cold, and a cold fever can easily recur.


    "Auntie Qiao, how about you be my mother? I want my mother. " Bo Anjin stayed in Qiao Chunan''s embrace. He had never felt the warmth from his father''s embrace before. He pursed his lips and his eyes suddenly turned red. His voice also carried a hint of tears as he said, "Dad, let Auntie Qiao be my mother, okay?"


    "Anthea, what did I tell you before?" Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, a hint of awkwardness flashed across Qiao Chunan''s face. He didn''t dare to look at Bo Xiushan.


    She was afraid of misunderstood, thinking that she had approached him through her children. At the same time, she knew that An An was sick, and her heart was particularly fragile.


    The last time she was sick, she thought about her mother and her father.


    However, he knew that she only had him, so he had no choice but to persevere.


    "I remember that you said you only like me and not my father, so you can''t be my mother." There were tears on Bo Anjin''s face, and his voice sounded a little teary, "Actually, my dad is pretty good. Auntie Qiao, you can try liking my dad."


    Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, Qiao Chun An''s face felt like it was about to burn, and he didn''t dare to look over at the Lan Shuyan.


    "An An is a big child, big children shouldn''t cry so easily." However, he did not reply to Bo Anjin''s words. Instead, he told him not to cry.


    Qiao Chu An wiped away the tears on her face and said gently, "Even if I''m not my mother, I still treat you well. "So, Mom, that''s just a way of addressing you."


    "I like seeing An An''s smile. Aunty Qiao''s heart hurts from the crying An An."


    "Alright then, I won''t cry anymore." Bo Anjin let out a burp, then burst out laughing.


    Just a moment ago, their relationship had suddenly reached that point, and they instantly collapsed.


    However, that was good enough.


    The two of them stayed together for the whole afternoon. During that time, Bian Shuang went out to make some calls and arrange some work.


    Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, he touched Bo Anjin''s forehead. The fever was almost gone, so he decided to leave and come back to see him tomorrow.


    "An An, aunty is going home. How about coming back to see you tomorrow?"


    "Auntie Qiao, can you stay here with me? If you leave, I won''t be able to sleep." When Bo Anjin saw that Qiao Chuan was about to leave, he immediately held out his hand.


    "Auntie Qiao, I''m sick today, can''t you accompany me for a while?"


    "Alright, you''re the patient. You''re the oldest today." Looking at the pitiful look in Bo Anjin''s eyes, Qiao Chuanan couldn''t help but wish that he could give him his heart. Wasn''t he just staying here for the night? It wasn''t something that couldn''t be done.


    Seeing that Qiao Chunan had really stayed behind, the smile on Bo Anjin''s face could not be stopped.


    "Auntie Qiao, let me tell you, there''s a chubby kid in our class who''s very funny." Bo Anjin held Qiao Chuan''s hand and leaned against his chest, talking about the matters of the class with a radiant expression on his face.


    "Little chubby boy?" If you eat a little more junk food, you''ll grow fat. " Listening to Bo Anjin''s childish words, the smile on Qiao Chunan''s face was very warm. The entire ward was enveloped in a layer of warmth.


    Hearing that Qiao Chuan An said he would become a little chubby, Bo Anjin clenched his fist and immediately retorted, "I won''t become a little chubby! I will be as handsome as my father! "


    "I''m my dad''s son, so I''m sure I''ll be as handsome as my dad."


    "At such a young age, you already know what it means to be handsome." Qiao Chuan pinched Bo Anjin''s nose and continued, "Since you know it''s not good to be a little chubby, then which classmate do you call a little chubby, won''t he feel bad?"


    "I don''t know if he''s sad or not. Anyway, I don''t like people adding me as a chubby boy." Bo Anjin lowered his head, revealing an embarrassed expression, "Then I won''t call him Little Chubby anymore."


    "An An listens to you." Qiao Chuan rubbed Bo Anjin''s head and continued, "Then you can''t eat too much junk food in the future. It''s really easy for you to get fat."


    The warmth within the ward caused a trace of light to flash across the eyes of the cultivator standing at the door.


    He didn''t expect that Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin would get along together like this.


    No wonder after leaving Bo Anjin at her house for a week, he felt that Bo Anjin had changed a lot after returning home. He was not as stubborn as before and even knew that caring about him was not hard work.


    While he was lost in thought, the phone vibrated once again.


    By the time he hung up the phone and returned to the ward, Bo Anjin was already asleep.


    At the same time, Joachim fell asleep on the bed.


    When she saw this, she gently opened the door and carried him to another bed in the ward.


    However, when he picked up Qiao Chunan, he felt the body that was too light in his hands and frowned. He remembered that a week ago, she was not as light as she was now.


    She didn''t know how she had lived this past week, but how did she end up in such a state?


    Thinking of these things, the thin cultivator sat on the sofa in the ward.


    Looking at the big picture on the bed, his mood suddenly softened.

 C31

    On the second day, when the sky was just starting to brighten, he woke up.


    The head that got up early was a little dazed, staring at the ceiling for a while before waking up.


    She suddenly remembered that she was in the hospital.


    When he found himself on the sickbed, he remembered that he had chatted with Bo Anjin the night before. After chatting for a while, he fell asleep.


    Looking around, there was only Bo Anjin lying on the bed. His small face was pink, and the corner of his mouth was even slightly raised.


    Seeing this scene, the corner of Qiao Chu An''s mouth raised into an arc. He tried his best to make no sound as he walked towards Bo Anjin''s side.


    He reached out and checked his forehead. There was no fever.


    Letting out a breath of relief, he prepared to leave quietly.


    "Where are you going?" As soon as he opened the door to the ward, he saw a thin, thin, and gentle young man walking towards him.


    The body of the thin Xiuran carried the chilliness of early spring. It was so cold that it was almost as if he was a whole person.


    "Go back to work. I only took an afternoon off yesterday." Hearing the question, Qiao Chun An looked down uncomfortably.


    As she looked down, the object in her hand caught her eye, and several bags of paper buns hung on her fingers.


    She could even smell the steamed buns inside.


    It was difficult for her to associate such grounding with the thin line.


    "I''ve applied for today''s holiday with you. You worked hard to take care of An Xin yesterday." Xi Qiushan walked over to the side of the bed and put his bag on the bedside cabinet. He turned around and said to Qiao Chun An, "Today we will give you a day''s leave."


    "If you want to leave, wait for An An to wake up before you leave," the thin Shuren Phoenix tidied up Bo Anjin''s blanket and looked at him with a gentle gaze, "Otherwise, it would be a disaster if he doesn''t wake up and see you."


    "This is my negligence." Hearing the words of the thin cultivator, Qiao Chuan An felt that something was wrong with his previous actions. With an awkward smile on his face, he closed the door to the sickroom and sat down on a chair next to An Ran''s bed.


    The person who had been with him the night before had disappeared as soon as he thought about it.


    "I just went out to buy some breakfast, you eat first."


    The scholar looked very reserved and cold. His movements were noble and elegant with a unique air to them. Even though he was talking about his ordinary life, he still gave off a feeling of being unattainable.


    "Thank you, Mr. Bo." Qiao Chunan did not refuse. Based on her understanding of the emollients, it would be best for her to accept them.


    He thanked him, but he did not bring his breakfast.


    She wasn''t used to having breakfast without brushing her teeth.


    The sunlight from outside the window slowly shone in. When the sunlight shone on Bo Anjin''s face, a pair of watery eyes slowly opened up.


    "Auntie Qiao." Bo Anjin opened his eyes and looked around the ward. When he saw the person sitting next to his sickbed, the smile on his face was very obvious, "Aunt Qiao, you''re still here."


    "Yes." Seeing the smile on Bo Anjin''s face, the corners of Qiao Chuan''s lips unconsciously curled up.


    "Wake up, we''re getting ready to leave the hospital today." Joachim stood up, ready to change the clothes.


    His clothes were all in a bag beside the bed. Qiao Chuan was holding a light blue suit and was about to change Bo Anjin''s clothes.


    In the week they had been together, this had happened quite a few times.


    The scene of Qiao Chuan changing Bo Anjin''s clothes was especially warm. He looked just like an ordinary mother and son.


    "You didn''t have breakfast?" Xiuran came out of the bathroom and saw that the wrapping paper on the cabinet was not opened at all. He frowned and said with a cold tone.


    "I''m not hungry." Qiao Chu An smiled but didn''t say anything else. He lowered his head and rolled up the legs of Bo Anjin''s pants.


    Hearing the words of the empress, Bo Anjin''s eyes lit up. He looked at Qiao Chunan and said in a spoiled manner, "Breakfast?" Is there anything to eat? An An is hungry. "


    "There''s food. Your father bought it this morning." As he said this, he stroked Bo Anjin''s collar, turned around, and picked up the bag that was placed on the cabinet next to the bed.


    There was special wrapping paper in the bag, and it was still warm after half an hour.


    Qiao Chu An picked up the bag and handed it to Bo An Jin. Bo An Jin took it, opened the package, and gave one to Qiao Chun An. After giving one to him, he lowered his head and started eating.


    He held the steamed bun given to him by Bo Anjin in his hand. He didn''t know why, but his eyes felt moist.


    However, he was suppressed by her in half an hour.


    He took the steamed bun and ate it. As for whether or not he would eat breakfast without brushing his teeth, he had no use for it at all from Bo Anjin.


    "Auntie Qiao, I don''t want you to go." Outside the hospital, Bo Anjin held onto Qiao Chuan''s hand tightly, not wanting her to leave.


    "Good boy An An. Your great-grandfather must have missed you at home. You have to go home early." Joachim stroked her head, half crouching, his eyes level with his.


    "Then if you promise to come to my house and visit me, then I''ll obediently go home." He didn''t want to worry his great-grandfather, but there was a real resemblance to Auntie Qiao accompanying him home.


    Seeing Bo Anjin like this, Qiao Chu An thought for a moment and made a promise, "Then obediently go home. When the time comes, I''ll definitely come to your house and play with you."


    "Auntie Qiao, you promised me, you can''t go back on your word." After hearing Qiao Chunan''s reply, Bo Anjin turned his head back and forth, holding the hand of the Mentor as he sat on the car.


    Seeing Bo Anjin get on the car, Qiao Chunan smiled and took a taxi to his home.


    Not long after he got on the car, his phone rang.


    Seeing the familiar phone number, Qiao Chuan immediately picked it up.


    "Qiao Chuan An, I am returning!" Hurry up and come pick me up! " As soon as the call connected, a voice filled with energy could be heard from the other side of the line.


    "Where are you? I''ll be right there. " Hearing this voice, Qiao Chunan was very happy. Lin Hanxia actually went back home.


    "At the airport. Hurry up and I''ll come over. During this period of time, you have to look up to me! My phone is running out of battery, hurry up and come over! " Lin Hanxia''s voice was as passionate as ever, making it easy for people to forget their worries just by listening.


    "Alright, alright, I''ll be right over. I''ll hang up first. Save your time on the phone, or you won''t be able to find anyone later." Hearing Lin Hanxiao''s words, Qiao Chuan felt as if his personality had become more lively.

 C32

    Thinking about Lin Hanxue, the corners of Qiao Chunan''s mouth rose.


    "Master, can I trouble you to drive to the airport?" Knowing that Lin Han-xiao was at the airport, Qiao Chunan immediately told the taxi driver to change directions.


    Now go get Lin Hanxia.


    But compared to her place, if Lin Hanxia came over, she would probably squeeze in with her.


    An hour later, George arrived at the airport.


    He told the driver to wait for a while, then immediately went to pick up Lin Hanxia.


    At the exit of the terminal, Jojouan looked at his friend who was tall and had short hair that fell to her ears. He could not help but slow down his pace.


    He thought about how he had been at loggerheads with her because of Su Ran. Later on, he explained it clearly. Because of the mutual agreement between their personalities, he became a friend.


    "Darling, you''re finally here! You don''t even know how long I''ve been waiting for you. " The person standing outside the door who was playing with his phone felt the gaze of someone who was looking at him. He raised his head and saw Qiao Chuan An. He immediately dragged his suitcase over and gave it a bear hug.


    "Then you didn''t know to tell me earlier." Joachim took her other suitcase and they walked out of the airport.


    The two of them were rather tall, so when they stood together, their eyes were especially bright.


    "Isn''t this supposed to be a surprise?" The smile on Lin Hanxiao''s face did not fade as he said with a grin, "How is it? Isn''t it nice to meet you! "


    "Yeah, yeah. I''m so happy." Qiao Chuan poked Lin Hanxue''s head, "In the future, if you do this kind of surprise attack, I won''t come to pick you up!"


    The two of them continued to talk about their feud with each other.


    After moving all the items to where Qiao Chun An lived, Qiao Chao An pulled Lin Hanyue to a restaurant not far away from the building to help him wash up.


    "How have you been, Jojouan?" Won''t it be hard for me to come back home and watch that slut while I''m still living well abroad? " Lin Hanxue hated Su Ran and didn''t try to hide his feelings.


    "It''s fine, I''m fine now, right?" Qiao Chuan grinned and chatted with Lin Hanxia about the recent situation, the company, and the incident where they beat up the Su Clan.


    Speaking of this, the two of them had extremely happy expressions on their faces.


    As the saying goes, I am relieved to know that you are not happy.


    After dinner, the two stayed together for the night and chatted very late.


    When he woke up on the second day, there were traces of green in front of him.


    But even so, it did not hide the joy on Qiao Chuan''s face.


    It''s really a happy thing to have a close friend in your life.


    After breakfast, he made Lin Hanxia a copy and then left for work.


    All day long, he felt full of energy.


    Just as he was about to get off work, he saw the phone call from Bo Anjin and the smile on his face became even more pronounced.


    "Hello, Anthea?" Why did you call Auntie today? " Jojouan slowed down his packing and sat in his seat to listen to the call from Bo Anjin.


    "Auntie Qiao, can you come see me today?" You promised me yesterday! " Afraid that Qiao Chuan would refuse, Bo Anjin decided to use words to stop him.


    Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, Qiao Chuan paused his hand that was playing with the pen and then said, "I''ll go ask your father. If he doesn''t mind, I''ll come over later."


    "Then I''ll wait for you." After saying this, Bo Anjin impatiently hung up the phone and at the same time called the Shou Yin.


    By the time he found out, he had already received a call from Bo Anjin, telling him to agree.


    The thin one did not come to the company today, so Qiao Chuan sent a message to ask.


    When he received the message, his eyes softened a little.


    Send her a message asking her to make her own decisions.


    Seeing Baoshu''s reply, Qiao Zheng An went off work to pick out a toy that children loved to play with. He gave Lin Hanyue a call and didn''t go back for dinner, then took a taxi to the Bo family''s villa.


    The person waiting for Qiao Chuan''an at the Bo family''s residence was currently staring eagerly at the door.


    "An An, is the Aunt Qiao you''re waiting for really as good as you say?" When the Bo family''s old man saw the look on Bo Anjin''s face, he became curious about Qiao Chun An.


    "Auntie Qiao is very good." Hearing his great-grandfather ask about Qiao Chuan An, Bo Anjin immediately said, "The only bad thing is, she won''t let me call her mother. It''s just that this is not good. "


    Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, the old man''s interest was piqued. This was the first time Bo Anjin wanted someone else to be his mother.


    "You want her to be your mother?"


    "Yeah, but Daddy is too useless. Auntie Qiao said he doesn''t like Daddy." Bo Anjin supported his little head as he expressed his dissatisfaction with Yu Di''s behavior, "If he can make Auntie Qiao like him, then I can have a mother."


    "Sigh, Daddy is useless!" The words of a small adult like Bo Anjin made Old Man Bo only want to laugh.


    At the same time, he became even more curious about Qiao Chuan An.


    Half an hour later, Qiao Chuan arrived at the gate of the Bo family''s villa.


    As soon as the doorbell rang, the door opened.


    At the same time, Bo Anjin ran out from the door and hugged Qiao Chunan''s leg.


    "Auntie Qiao, you''re here." Bo Anjin raised his head and looked at Qiao Chuan An, revealing his pure white teeth.


    He reached out and stroked Bo Anjin''s head. Then, he handed the items to the servant beside him and walked in with Bo Anjin in tow.


    "Even An An has called. If I don''t come soon, An An will be angry with Auntie." He thought that the child had hung up so quickly just now. Wasn''t it because he didn''t want her to refuse?


    "Yes, I will be very angry and ignore you. If you don''t come, I''ll just ignore Auntie for a day, no, an hour. "


    When the two of them said this, Bo Anjin did not bring Qiao Chunan directly into the villa. Instead, he first brought her to the garden to have a look.


    "Auntie Qiao, did you see this?" "This was planted when I came back from living with you a week later," said Bo Anjin, pointing to a small seedling in the garden. "Look, it''s sprouting."


    "Why do you want to come back and plant flowers?" Joachim squatted down and looked at the little plant. He couldn''t tell what kind of flower it was.


    "The teacher in charge of the class said that you have to plant whatever you want. When I was living with you, didn''t he ask for a seed from you? I''ll plant this seed, and when it comes to fruition, you can be my mother. "


    Hearing Bo Anjin''s childish words, Qiao Chuan didn''t know what to say. However, his heart felt warm.


    "You took this seed from me, and you think that you can grow me out of it?" Qiao Chuanan didn''t know whether to laugh or cry, but he still explained it clearly to Bo Anjin. "This kind of eggplant is the seed of the eggplant. When it grows up, it will only be able to come into contact with the eggplant."


    Knowing that this was the seed he got from her, he knew what it was.

 C33

    "So it''s like that." After hearing Qiao Chuan An''s words, Bo Anjin was a little disappointed, but he quickly recovered.


    He turned around and continued strolling around the courtyard with Qiao Chuan in tow.


    After they had finished shopping, Bo Anjin held Qiao Chuan''s hand and the two of them arrived at the living room of the Bo family villa.


    Old Man Bo had been waiting in the living room. He couldn''t help but shake his head when he heard that Bo Anjin had brought Qiao Chunan to the garden.


    Raising a child is really a source of happiness.


    It was a little late, and the light in the living room was slightly yellow and warm.


    Old Man Bo looked at the person who had appeared in the living room. His figure was tall and he looked very much like a person.


    "Auntie Qiao, this is my great-grandfather." Bo Anjin held Qiao Chuan''s hand and appeared in front of Old Master Bo. He introduced the two of them, "Great-grandfather, this is Auntie Qiao."


    "I''ve often heard Anthea mention you." There was a benevolent smile on Old Man Bo''s face, which eased a lot of the tension in Qiao Chunan''s heart.


    He had thought that her father would be a serious old man, but he had never expected that his father would be so gentle.


    "Do you know Chu Ling? I think you look like her. " The more Old Man Bo looked at it, the more he felt that Qiao Chunan was very similar to one of her former students.


    Hearing the name ''Chu Ling'', Qiao Chu An was a little dazed. "Do you know my mother?"


    Since her mother''s death, she had rarely heard the name, and even the mention of her mother had become a rarity.


    "Is she your mother? "No wonder they look so similar." Old Man Bo said with a sigh: "When I was a professor in university, your mother was my student."


    Someone had told her about her mother, and there was a look of reminiscence on his face.


    When Bo Anjin saw that his great-grandfather knew Joachim''s mother, he also quietly and obediently listened to what the two of them had to say.


    "My mother, she ¡­" She wanted to know more about her mother, but she didn''t know how to say it.


    "Is your father Qiao Zhen?" Old Master Bo only had this problem because he knew that Qiao Chuan''s surname was Qiao.


    "Your father, Qiao Zhen, is also a student of mine. I remember that they had a pretty good relationship with another student called Gu Yu at school."


    Speaking of the past, Old Man Bo''s face was also full of memories.


    "Great-grandfather, is Auntie Qiao''s mother as good as Auntie Qiao?" While the atmosphere was heavy, Bo Anjin propped up his chin and looked at his great-grandfather before turning to look at Qiao Chunan.


    The childish words immediately pulled everyone''s mood back.


    "Yeah, your Auntie Qiao''s mom is as good as Auntie Qiao." Old Man Bo''s words were not a lie. Although he did not know where Qiao Chua An was, Chu Ling was one of the best that he taught.


    Otherwise, it wouldn''t have been because Gu Yu and Qiao Zhen were competing against each other for the position of being favored by the heavens.


    He didn''t expect that Chu Ling would marry Qiao Zhen in the end.


    It was half past five in the afternoon, and it was past six when she arrived.


    After the conversation was over, Grandpa Bo let Bo Anjin take Qiao Chunan upstairs to his room to play.


    "Auntie Qiao, I have a lot of toys in my room." When Bo Anjin climbed up the stairs, he was jumping up and down, causing Qiao Chunan''s heart to skip a beat. He kept paying attention to Bo Anjin''s actions and said, "An An, walk while looking at the stairs, otherwise you might fall down."


    After hearing Qiao Chuan An''s words, Bo Anjin did not keep jumping on the ground. Instead, he held onto Qiao Chuan''s hand and said, "Then I''ll hold your hand so that we won''t fall down."


    The pair held hands and laughed as they walked upstairs. When Old Master Bo saw this scene from the sofa downstairs, he couldn''t help but let out a soft sigh.


    Although he had always doted on her, he still lacked the love of his mother.


    Some favors were something only a mother could give.


    Qiao Zheng An followed Bo Anjin into the room. All kinds of dolls were placed in one corner, and some automotive robots were scattered on the floor.


    There were also some unopened items placed randomly on the other side.


    "An An, why do you have so many toys in your room?" When Qiao Chu An saw these toys, his scalp tingled. Wasn''t this simply taking up too much space?


    There wasn''t even a place to stay.


    "How is it, Auntie Qiao? I have a lot of toys, right?" There was a smug look on Bo Anjin''s face. His little head was tilted upwards and his eyes were filled with anticipation, hoping that Qiao Chu An would praise him.


    Seeing these toys, Qiao Chuan couldn''t help but hold his forehead.


    "Don''t you feel crowded living here?" Qiao Chunan followed behind Bo Anjin. Seeing him walk towards a familiar path, he couldn''t help but suggest, "Can''t you tidy up a bit?"


    The messy arrangement made her, a person without obsessive compulsive disorder, feel uncomfortable.


    "I think it''s very good. I can play whatever I want." As for the matter of cleaning up the room that Qiao Chunan mentioned, Bo Anjin pouted. He was not happy that he didn''t get the praise that he wanted.


    "But like this, I don''t even have a place to play games with you."


    With his roundabout tactics, Qiao Chuan An was very skilled at it.


    "Alright, I''ll call someone over tomorrow to tidy it up." Bo Anjin thought that Aunt Qiao didn''t have a place to play, so she should have made a place for her.


    "Auntie Qiao, let me tell you, I played a jigsaw puzzle for a long time without succeeding." After many difficulties and dangers, Qiao Chuan finally arrived at the place where Bo Anjin usually played.


    Bo Anjin''s room was very large. Other than the toys, there was also an empty space for them to play in.


    Bo Anjin took out the jigsaw puzzle that he had put up and placed it on a round table. He leaned on the table and explained to Qiao Chun An how he had gotten the jigsaw puzzle.


    Qiao Chunan quietly listened to what Bo Anjin said. While he was playing with the jigsaw puzzle, he revealed a smile and played with him.


    Of course, the main thing was to let him play by himself. She could at best be a guide.


    While they were playing until their necks were stiff, a knock came on the door. A nanny came to call them down to eat.


    "Clean up and prepare to eat." After finishing packing the table, he took Bo Anjin by the hand and went downstairs.


    When he was walking downstairs, he saw that Xi Qiulin was also there. He paused for a moment. His expression became stiff, but soon disappeared.


    "Hello, Mr. Bo." Jojouan greeted her when he saw her.


    The family and Qiao Chuan were having a meal together. Qiao Chuan could not sit still as he ate the whole meal.


    He felt that she was a little excessive.


    Thus, after the meal, he suggested to leave immediately.


    Although Bo Anjin was reluctant, he let her go when Qiao Chuan An said that he would visit her in a few days.


    Old Man Bo''s gaze fell on the thin cultivator''s body. He could not help but shake his head when he saw that the thin cultivator''s expression had more meaning than before.


    He really didn''t know how could Xi Qiulin''s temper become like this.


    After Qiao Chunan left, the old man looked at him and asked seriously, "What do you mean by that to Qiao Chunan?"

 C34

    Hearing the words of the old man, the expression on the face of the thin cultivator did not change. He was still as aloof and aloof as before, but in his heart, he recalled how she avoided him at the table just now.


    Seeing the expression on his face, Old Man Bo knew that it was impossible for him to know the answer from his mouth.


    "I like that girl quite a bit. If you really have feelings for her, then do it earlier. Good girls are quite popular." Old Man Bo shook his head and slowly walked back to his room with his hands behind his back.


    At the side, Bo Anjin, who was listening to her great-grandfather''s conversation with her father, held his head and thought about what his great-grandfather had said just now. Did his great-grandfather want Auntie Qiao to be his mother as well?


    "Daddy, when can you make Auntie Qiao my mother?" Bo Anjin hugged Bo Xiuran''s neck, his eyes flashing with stars. Speaking of this matter, his entire body was brimming with happiness.


    With gentle footsteps, he carried her into his room.


    It was obvious that Bo Anjin''s room was giving Xi Qiulin a headache.


    However, he had said a few times that he didn''t care about her after she didn''t change her attitude.


    Deep down, he still owed Bo Anjin a lot.


    "An An, there are some things you can''t force yourself to do." Xi Xiurin brought Bo Anjin to the washroom and had him wash his face and wash his hands. Then, he stood by the side and watched, "Your Auntie Qiao doesn''t like me, so she can''t be your mother."


    "Then don''t you know how hard you have worked to make Auntie Qiao fall in love with you?" Bo Anjin was smearing foam on his hand lotion. Raising his head to look at Xiuran, he had a puzzled expression, "The teacher in charge of the class said that if you can''t do it, you need to work hard."


    "Daddy, you have to work hard to make Auntie Qiao like you. After that, Auntie Qiao can be my mother."


    Although he didn''t know what it was that they liked, but since both his father and Aunt Qiao valued each other so much, did they not like each other for long?


    He touched the back of her head, and a trace of light flashed in her eyes. She did not continue with this question.


    As he watched his father leave, Bo Anjin suddenly remembered his promise to Auntie Qiao and immediately called out to him, "That''s right, dad, tomorrow, remember to get someone to move the toys in my room to the toy room."


    The Bo family had reserved a toy room for her, but he liked to put the toys in his room, so no one said anything.


    "Yes." Bo Xiuniang complied with the words and returned to her room, feeling a strange emotion in her heart.


    He poured a glass of red wine, placed his bony fingers on top of the glass, and stood by the window, looking out at the silver light cast by the sun. His expression was as reserved as ever.


    He looked like a noble from the Middle Ages.


    "Heh ~" A light laugh sounded out, causing all the nobles in the entire space to retreat, leaving behind an awe-inspiring evil aura all over the ground.


    At this time, Qiao Chuan who had just returned home was holding his mother''s treasure as he thought about the words of Old Master Bo. He could not help but feel a little regretful.


    She also thought that since she hadn''t seen her father for so many years, she should find some time to go visit him.


    "What is it? Thinking of your mother again? " Lin Hanyi got Qiao Chuan a cup of hot water. Seeing the expression on his best friend''s face, he couldn''t say anything comforting, so he changed the topic, "Oh right, I might have to go out for a few days."


    "You have to leave half of your bed for me. You can''t have no place to stay when I come back."


    His originally somewhat sad mood had completely dissipated with Lin Hanyue''s interruption. "Where are you going? Are there any safety problems? "


    "Don''t worry, what problems can I have?" It''s good enough if you don''t get beaten up by me until all my teeth fall out. " Lin Han Xiao grabbed Qiao Chuan''s shoulder and raised his head. With a proud expression, he laughed. "I worked so hard just to protect the beauty!"


    "Go to your beauty, you won''t have breakfast tomorrow morning." Joachim packed up his mother''s belongings and went to the bathroom to wash up.


    When Lin Hanyue heard that he had no more breakfast for himself, he immediately jumped up from the sofa and pounced on Qiao Chunan. "Qiao Chunan, you can''t be so heartless. I said I would be the prettiest!"


    "I''m not old yet, you don''t even want to raise me anymore!" Lin Hanxia followed Qiao Chuan An into the bathroom.


    The two of them had a good relationship, so they would often joke like this.


    The next day was Friday, and when he went to work, he did not forget to make breakfast for Lin Hanxia.


    The whole day was busy, and he didn''t forget to go see Qiao Zhen. He had made an appointment in advance and was waiting for the next day to go see Qiao Zhen.


    By the end of the week, Lin Hanyue was already out. Qiao Chunan was thinking about his father, his face was uneasy but at the same time, there was also guilt.


    She was a deserter and had left her father alone in the country for five years.


    Although she had asked someone to take care of him, she did not personally visit him.


    After dawdling for a long time, Qiao Chuan appeared outside the prison.


    Qiao Zheng An was waiting for Qiao Zhen to appear in the meeting room of the prison. His fingers clenched slightly and the expression on his face was a little cold. After a while, Qiao Zhen appeared at the other side of the meeting room with his bracelet.


    Qiao Zhen''s hair was a little gray, and there was a hint of panic on his face. The moment he saw Qiao Chuan An, his gaze unconsciously shifted to the side.


    "Dad." When Qiao Chuan saw Qiao Zhen, his eyes became moist, but he was forced back by her.


    "An An, you''re here." Qiao Zhen looked up, his expression a little strained. He hid his hands behind the table, "I haven''t seen you in a few years, you have lost a lot of weight." How are you doing out there? "


    Hearing his father''s concern, he almost failed to restrain the tears in his eyes.


    "Dad, how are you doing inside?" Qiao Chun An pinched his fingers and tried to look as relaxed as possible, "I am now a legal adviser in a company. After I get my judicial certificate, I will look into our Qiao family''s case. I won''t let you sit in prison for years."


    Hearing Qiao Chuan''s words, Qiao Zhen''s face flashed with panic. He immediately said, "No need, no need. I''ve been imprisoned for these few years. What''s the use of going to investigate."


    Qiao Chu An noticed the expression on Qiao Zhen''s face, but he didn''t think about it. He felt that Qiao Zhen was worried about her.


    After all, annexing the Gu Clan was already like the sun in the sky. With the help of the Su Clan, if she wanted to deal with such a huge monster, it was no different than an ant trying to shake a tree.


    "How can it be useless? I will make the Gu family pay the price!" When he mentioned the Gu family and thought of Gu Nan and Su Ran, Qiao Chun An did not even try to conceal the anger on his face.

 C35

    "An An, dad is about to be released from prison. You don''t have to worry about these things." Joe moved his mouth, trying to persuade him, but seeing the look on her face, some words wouldn''t come out.


    "An An, it is father that has let you down, it is father that has treated you like your mother."


    "Dad, you didn''t let me down."


    "I''ve let you down." The remorse on Qiao Zhen''s face was very obvious. This made Qiao Chuan''s heart tremble and he advised, "Dad, you didn''t let us down." I''m sure Mom won''t blame you either. "


    Hearing Qiao Chuan An''s words, Qiao Zhen''s body froze and his voice became a little hoarse. "My performance has been good lately. I have a chance to commute my sentence. An An, you don''t have to be so tired."


    "I''m not tired." Qiao Chuan smiled. "Then Dad, do your best and come out earlier. I will wait for you outside."


    When he finished looking at Qiao Zhen, he felt that his life was almost at its end.


    She, as a deserter, had finally come back to face everything she had left behind.


    However, there were some things that couldn''t be found.


    After a long period of depression, in the afternoon, Qiao Chuan recovered Qian Jin.


    The huge monster of the Gu family was still waiting for her to overthrow it.


    After talking to Bo Anjin on the phone over the weekend, he was able to study the law in his own hands.


    Monday was yet another day of work.


    Not long after he arrived at the company, he received a letter from the company''s entertainer.


    These documents were drafted and finalized by his former legal advisor. After receiving the documents, Qiao Chao An began to read through them carefully.


    He discovered that there were a lot of loopholes hidden inside, and these loopholes were not only for artists, but also for companies.


    It was easy to spot these problems, and the fact that he believed that the artist who had to cancel the contract was a source of insight to the lawyer.


    After finding the problem, he went to look for the artist who needed to cancel the contract, only to find out that the other party had pushed this matter to the lawyer.


    When he called the lawyer, the lawyer refused the contract entirely. He insisted that the contract was unreasonable and should be cancelled. At the same time, he had to compensate his client for the psychological damage he had suffered.


    After contacting the lawyer, Qiao Chao An''s face turned ugly.


    This was purely to take advantage of the company.


    In order to protect the company''s interests, Joachim started working again.


    Although the libel lawsuits that had been brought over by the Artists Department last week had wasted a lot of her time, it had also let her have a good understanding of the survival methods of those celebrities in the entertainment circle.


    At the same time, he organized the contracts of the other artists in the company. He found that there was a reason why Shanghua Entertainment had been annexed by the GW.


    More than half of these contracts were legally invalid agreements.


    It was equivalent to using a large amount of money to nurture a group of artists that could step down at any time.


    Looking at these documents, Qiao Chuan felt his head ache. Once again, he lamented that being able to incorporate Shang Hua into the GW was simply a stroke of luck.


    Sooner or later, he would go bankrupt.


    After clarifying the documents regarding the artist''s cancellation of the contract, Qiao Chao An began to gradually change the contract documents for the other artists in the company.


    Many artists have agreed to re-sign their contracts because of their back-to-back with GW.


    Of course, some people disagreed, but that was none of Qiao Chuan''s business. The contract protected both sides'' interests, and since someone was willing to use the contract, which was full of loopholes, she had no other opinions.


    She could deal with that artiste, but she could also deal with the others.


    While he was busy working at Shanghainese Entertainment, Qiao Chuan felt that his ability had steadily improved.


    At the very least, she would not have been able to complete these tasks so quickly before.


    While he was busy with the finishing touches, Qiao Chunan once again left the office late at night.


    When he walked out of the CEO''s office, he saw that the office was still lit up, so he frowned slightly.


    Was this person really a steel rod?


    Previously, the dark circles under his eyes hadn''t disappeared. Now, he had started to get off work late again? Is there that much business with Shanghua Entertainment?


    The thin one knocked on the door of his office, and when he looked up, he said, "You''re not off duty yet?"


    "There have been a lot of things happening at Shanghua Entertainment recently?" Baoshu stood at the door, his tall and slender figure blocking the light coming from the corridor. His reserved and cold expression became even deeper under the light, causing his heart to tremble slightly.


    "Is it because your ability level is not high enough that you work overtime every day?"


    "Mr. Bo, there is no problem with my ability." "I''m just preparing for a rainy day."


    Bo Xiuniang chuckled, making the tense atmosphere disappear.


    "I hope so." The thin cultivator looked up, and the reserved and cold expression on his face dimmed a little. With warmth in his eyes, he said, "I don''t want such a hard-working employee." When my body collapses, all sorts of things will happen. "


    "Thank you for your relationship with Mr. Bo, I think I''m still okay." There was a look of unease on Qiao Chuan''s face. She felt that she had misunderstood what he meant.


    However, it was too easy for people to misunderstand her words.


    Words of concern can easily be seen as a slander against the ability to work.


    "Let''s go, I''ll take you home." The thin cultivator looked at Qiao Chuan An''s creamy cheeks, and then he looked away for a while, "Preparing for a rainy day is not something that can be done in a day or two."


    Qiao Zheng An moved his stiff fingers and lowered his head. He looked like he was stripping people of their clothes. She hadn''t felt his gaze in a long time. Now that she felt it, she was at a loss.


    However, she did not connect him with Xiuran, nor could she connect him with that person.


    "Let''s go." The cold and thin voice of Qiao Chuan who was lost in thought suddenly came to his senses.


    He did not refuse and tidied up the things on the table and followed the thin elementalist.


    The thin Shuren saw the look of fear on Qiao Chuan An''s face and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He was indeed a little rabbit that was easily frightened.


    Just like five years ago.


    He was clearly just a little rabbit that was easily frightened, yet he pretended that he was immune to poisons.


    After being sent off a few times, Jojouan got into his car again. He was no longer as frightened as he was before.


    Humans, they just get used to things very easily.


    Qiao Chuan lowered her head slightly. The light from the car illuminated the part of her neck that was slightly exposed, making her look exceptionally mesmerizing. Her fair fingers were holding a small bag, slightly curling up to show that her master was not calm at the moment.


    He leaned back in his chair and placed his fingers on his knees. His voice was as cold as ever. "I will need to travel abroad for a period of time."


    He paused for a moment. Just when he thought that she would hand An Ran over to her, the next words that came out of his mouth stunned her into a trance.


    "You come with me."


    "I''ll go?" "Can I come with you?"

 C36

    Since it was an assignment abroad, it must mean that it was not a small matter.


    The thin cultivator looked ahead, as if he did not notice the expression on Qiao Chuan An''s face, "Although this will lead to controversy, it is a good learning opportunity for you. "You can go back and think about it."


    "There''s no need to consider it further, I''ll go!" Although Qiao Chun An was puzzled as to why Xiu Lan would let her go, she would not give up now that there was such an opportunity.


    After all, it was not a long-term solution.


    No matter how thoroughly she studied the laws of A Country, she could not match up to a real game with someone else.


    She wanted to improve. She couldn''t wait to arm herself. She wanted to return all the damage the Gu family had done to Madam Qiao!


    Hearing Qiao Chunan''s answer, Bo Xiuniang chuckled. Her fighting spirit was truly fascinating.


    He thanked her and got out of the car. She had to prepare what she needed abroad.


    By the time she got home, she had received a trip from one of her assistants.


    Looking at the journey up there, Qiao Chun An thought back to his time abroad and could not help but sigh.


    However, in order to deal with the rest of his work, he still looked for information and found some places to pay attention to.


    Although there were places she had been to, this did not mean that she did not need to prepare for anything.


    The next day, Joachim arrived early.


    It was already a habit for her to arrive early at the company.


    Recently, he had been busy dealing with the matter of the artists cancelling his appointment at the company. In addition, he had been dealing with the libel case. The first thing he did when he came to the company was to turn on his computer to check if there were any artists from Shanghua Entertainment on the news.


    He turned on the computer and saw a short video interview.


    In the short video, Duan Wan had a charming smile on her face when others asked if the photo she took from the Bo family was from her. She neither admitted nor denied it, and instead changed the topic.


    It was easy for people to misunderstand when people wanted to reject such a welcome topic.


    At the very least, from Qiao Chunan''s point of view, Duan Wan''s words were a tacit agreement.


    Even the guide admitted that she was the one who had left the Bo family in the middle of the night.


    "Then may I ask Big Sister Duan Wan, is that child from the Bo family yours?"


    "This is a press conference for my new show. I won''t answer any of these questions."


    "Duan Wan, is the financial backer of your clan a member of the Bo Clan?"


    "Sorry, this is a personal matter, I have no potential customers!" Duan Wan''s expression turned ugly. It could be seen from the video of his beautiful face in the filter.


    However, Duan Wan had always been good at dealing with these kinds of problems.


    "As for Mr. Bo, I''m friends with him."


    Not the potential customer, but a friend.


    This statement made everyone''s imagination run wild.


    Just as others were about to ask more questions, Duan Wan left the interview venue under the protection of the staff member.


    With regards to this video interview, Qiao Chuan was unable to tell what it felt like. He also didn''t know if he would admit or deny seeing this video.


    And below that video, there were all sorts of guesses on the internet.


    Even some marketing numbers have picked up on the traffic, which has a rhythm on the Internet.


    Basically, it was said that Yu Di was Duan Wan''s financial backer, and as for what his friends said, it was just a pretense.


    Qiao Chao An browsed through the news online for a while. When most of the people in the office had arrived, he hung up and began to work seriously.


    But he still thought about it occasionally.


    When Duan Wan came to look for her, she didn''t feel this way. Now that she received no response, she even had the illusion that what Duan Wan said might be the truth.


    Time flew by quickly. When he got off work, he browsed through the entertainment news online as usual.


    Habit is terrible.


    Sitting as a legal advisor in an entertainment company, she inexplicably started to pay attention to this entertainment news.


    However, when he was browsing the internet, he really did let Qiao Chun An see the reply of the thin shaman.


    In the video, Bo Xiuran hurried to a certain place, but a reporter stopped him when he received the news, "Mister Bo, may I ask what your relationship is with Duan Wan?"


    "Are you some kind of customer from the internet?"


    Hearing the name ''potential customer'', Bo Xiuniang paused. Her eyes were deep, and her expression was haughty. Her voice was like clear spring water flowing stone, "It''s fake."


    After saying this, he left without looking back.


    After the reporter received the answer, he left a message and left in satisfaction.


    Qiao Chuan watched the video two or three times as he repeated the fake words in his heart. A smile appeared on his face.


    "Chu An, it''s time to get off work." When Zhou An got off work, as usual, he called out to Qiao Chunan. However, when he saw her smile, he casually asked, "Did something good happen today?" "She''s smiling so happily."


    "Huh?" Hearing Zhou An''s words, the smile on Qiao Chu An''s face froze.


    However, a moment later, he put on a smile again. "Since I don''t have to work overtime today, I''m naturally happy."


    "You work overtime all day. Have a good rest. I''m leaving first." Zhou An waved and left with his bag.


    After Zhou An left, Qiao Chu An extended his hand to touch the corner of his mouth.


    How could she be so happy because of the fake words from the empress?


    Qiao Chao An had a vague feeling about what he was thinking, but at the same time, he resisted the suspicion.


    She couldn''t even see through a childhood friend, much less someone she had known for more than a month.


    Thinking about this, Qiao Chuan called Lin Hanxia. Whenever she was unhappy, she would feel very happy to say anything to Lin Hanyue.


    "Hey, honey, I''ll be right back. Do you miss me a lot?"


    "Yeah, I missed you. When will you be back? " Hearing Lin Hanxue''s passionate voice, Qiao Chun An also had a smile on his face.


    "Since you, my dear, think so of me, I will naturally come back earlier." Lin Hanxiao raised his voice as he said this, "But you must have other business, otherwise you wouldn''t have thought of calling me."


    "There''s nothing else. I just want to hear what you have to say." She didn''t know who she could share these questions with, nor did she want to talk about them. She just wanted to change her mind.


    "Hey, Qiao Chuan An, how could I not know of your strange personality!" Hmph, something must have happened. However, if you don''t want to say it, then don''t say it. If you want to lean over, you can do so anytime you want. "


    After chatting with Lin Hanxiao for a while, Qiao Chuan finally calmed down and returned home from work.

 C37

    In the last few days, Qiao Chuan had been preparing for a trip. He also asked Zhou An about the materials and things he needed to take with him.


    At the same time, he handed over a few more important things to Qiao Chuan An.


    Those things surpassed Qiao Chunan''s ability, but in order to not be looked down on, Qiao Chunan was very diligent. She knew that this was a thin elementalist training her.


    It was impossible for her to follow him abroad without any preparation.


    After all, matters involving foreign countries were not that simple.


    Each country had its own laws, and as a legal adviser she not only had to understand the laws of the country in which she was travelling, but she also had to be proficient in some of the international practices.


    Having finished her work in such a short period of time, Qiao Chun An felt that it had a great effect on her ability to improve.


    Anyway, now she felt more confident.


    It''s not as blind as it was when you didn''t know about the trip.


    After handing over the work on hand, Qiao Chuan An went on a business trip with Bo Xiu Nong.


    Their first stop was in Los Angeles.


    When he left, he contacted Shao Yishuo in advance.


    Shao now has his own law firm in Los Angeles.


    When Qiao Chunan was contacting her on the journey, the thin Shuren told her that Shao Yishuo had come back to pick them up.


    When he got off the plane, there was a look of joy on his face. However, he did not show it on his face.


    "You want to see Shao Yishuo so much?" As he sat in the VIP lounge, he looked over at Qiao Chunan.


    Qiao Chun An''s eyes were filled with joy. Xiu Nan carefully observed and shifted her position. She placed her finger on the armrest of the chair and lightly tapped it. "Why do you like that guy every time you see him?"


    Disregarding the burning gaze that fell on him, Qiao Chu An''s lips lifted, "Mr Shao is a person that I respect very much."


    As for liking him, that wasn''t necessarily the case.


    "Ha ~" Bo Xiuniang laughed lightly, her gaze turned to the void, not having made any judgement on her answer.


    Not long after, Shao Yishuo arrived at the airport.


    After receiving the call, he pulled his suitcase and Qiao Chuan An out of the airport.


    "Beauty, we meet again!" In a red sports car at the waiting area, Shao Yishuo rolled down the window, revealing a handsome face as he waved at Qiao Chunan.


    "Mister Shao." He asked the airport staff to help him with the suitcases, and he sat in the back.


    After arranging his things, Joachim got into the car.


    "CEO Bo, this is your mistake. How can you leave moving luggage to beauties?" Shao Yishuo raised his brows, his eyes flashing as if he was watching a good show. "Beauty, why don''t you come to my law firm? I don''t think this guy will be like that."


    "Mr. Shao, you must be joking." Qiao Chunan smiled but did not answer Shao Yishuo''s question.


    Shao Yishuo''s law office was full of experts. A rookie like her could only be ordered around, there was nothing else she could do to make a name for herself.


    Besides, the Gu Clan and the Su Clan were still at home waiting for her to take care of them!


    "Alright, alright, once you''ve thought it through, I''ll welcome you here anytime!" Shao Yishuo was only teasing Qiao Chuan. If she really did come over, then he had his own arrangements, but he didn''t care too much about it.


    After all, in terms of talent, who in his law firm didn''t have one?


    He had taken a liking to her not only because of her talent, but also because of the fact that Xiuran had taken a liking to her.


    Everyone was well aware of this.


    "I''m going to take you to Los Angeles today to have some fun."


    "Shao Yishuo, we came for a reason. We don''t go to the place where you often have fun." Looking at the direction in which Shao Yishuo drove off to, her brows slightly knitted, her voice somewhat displeased.


    "Why would I take you there!" Shao Yishuo raised his eyebrows and said in a cynical tone, "You look like an honest man. You wouldn''t want to play there with us."


    "There''s a proper Chinese restaurant nearby, I''ll take you there."


    Exiting the country to find an authentic Chinese restaurant was still rather difficult.


    As for the good places around Los Angeles, Shao said he really didn''t find anyone in any country who knew how to eat better than anyone in the country.


    What could be eaten, what could be eaten, could be seen at the domestic dining tables.


    The three of them came to the dining room. Although it was said that they were welcoming, since they had their own matters to attend to, they only ate a meal.


    "Beauty, look at how familiar we are with each other. You still call me Mister Shao? Just call me by my name. "


    The three of them didn''t have the habit of not eating and talking. Instead, they liked to talk about some things while eating.


    "Then Mr Shao can also call me by my name." Qiao Chu put down his chopsticks and poured a cup of hot tea for the three people around him.


    At first, she didn''t like Shao Yishuo calling her a beauty, but after getting used to it, she didn''t correct him. Anyway, it was just a form of address.


    "Then I''ll call you Chu An, and you can just call me Yishuo." As Shao Yishuo said this, he glanced at the girl beside him with a trace of pride in his eyes.


    After all, Qiao Chuan was still called Bo Xiuran or Bo Mr. Bo.


    The relationship between the two of them had always been stuck at the same point, and they had no intention of moving forward.


    "Chu An, you''ve been in Shanghua for almost two months now, right? Why are you still called Mr Baoshu?" Shao Yishuo was already used to doing this, so the words he said were very direct.


    Hearing Shao Yishuo''s words, Qiao Chu An froze for a moment. He didn''t dare to look over and said, "Mr. Bo is my superior."


    The superior could not call him by name.


    If he called her CEO, it would be a bit strange.


    Jojouan continued the term used for the first time.


    While the two of them were talking, it was very quiet as it was eating its own food. However, it warned Shao Yishuo with its gaze and told him to stop.


    He knew all about the distance between him and George.


    But she didn''t mind. As long as she was still in Shanghua, she would be his for one day.


    As for estrangement, there would come a day when it would be gone.


    Shao Yishuo could see the determination in Xiuran''s eyes and could not help but laugh. His brother had really not experienced any emotional setbacks. Otherwise, how could he be so arrogant?


    He was waiting to see a good show.


    Shao Yishuo ignored the sullen faces of the people around him and said to Qiao Chuan, "Chu An, if you have time tomorrow, I can take you guys to play. You can also come to my law office to take a look."


    "Really? "Thank you, mister Shao." Seeing Shao Yishuo''s disapproving expression, Qiao Chu An reacted with a slight smile on his face. "Thank you, Yishuo."


    Hearing Qiao Chun An''s name, the thin Shuren''s face turned black. After the meal, he asked the thin Shuren to send them away.

 C38

    After all, they had been in Los Angeles for more than ten hours by plane. Not only did they have to go jet-lag, they also had to take a good rest.


    He did not feel anything out of place about what she had said.


    He just felt that Mr. Bo was in a bad mood after taking the plane for so long.


    Tinker has his own villa in Los Angeles. Usually, he would ask the hour worker to come and clean it for him. Basically, he would be able to check in as soon as he entered.


    At first, he didn''t feel anything, but after he moved all his salutes to the guest room, Qiao Chunan suddenly realized that he would be staying in the same room as Bo Xiuniang in the next few days.


    For some reason, when he thought of this, he felt his heart racing.


    In just a short moment, he had suppressed it.


    After he had showered, he went out to get hot water and was about to take it back to his room when he turned around and bumped into the thin shaman standing behind her.


    Looking up, he saw that Xiuran was wearing a bathrobe, revealing a portion of his strong and fair chest, which was very different from his usual cold and aloof self.


    The warmth of the body stunned Qiao Chu An. He immediately took a step back and withdrew from the Shura''s embrace.


    "Mr. Bo, I''m sorry." Seeing the patch of white, Qiao Chun An immediately lowered his head, his cheeks slightly flushed. That patch of white kept flashing through his mind.


    "You want me to come out and pour some water?" Looking at the man in front of him, the redness on his face made his throat move, and he looked down. From his position, he could see the curve of the person''s body, and he even remembered the feeling five years ago.


    "Yes." The flash of whiteness in Qiao Chuan''s mind did not dissipate as he replied in a casual manner.


    "Be careful in the future." She turned her body to let him pass. The look in her eyes gradually deepened as she walked towards the kettle with a slightly messy pace.


    "Then, Mr. Bo, I''ll go in first." Without looking back, he held onto his beating heart and quickly walked to his room in the corner.


    "En, good night. Rest early." Xiuran raised his head and looked at the retreating back of Qiao Chuanan. The corners of his lips curled up and his voice became softer than before.


    However, Qiao Chuan, who was busy avoiding this awkward situation, did not notice and just replied, "En, Mr. Bo, good night."


    He closed the door and touched his heart. He smiled bitterly and slid down the door and sat on the floor.


    Her heart was actually beating for others.


    When he thought of the empress, Qiao Chuan unconsciously thought of Gu Nan, Su Ran, and even his father who was still in prison.


    As expected, these things were still too far away from her.


    Shaking his head, Qiao Chuan returned to the bathroom. He used cold water to pat his face and suppress the strand of hair that was lifted up.


    She was responsible for Mrs Qiao''s matters and did not have the time to talk about these matters.


    He didn''t know. He just didn''t think the rabbit was as unfeeling about him as she seemed to be.


    As he thought of this, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise as his eyes became softer.


    However, he did not notice any of this.


    He still thought that he had only the desire to control her.


    After all, he was someone who could stir up flames in his body.


    Five years ago, he was taught to eat and drink.


    The next day, when he got up early, he went to the kitchen and made breakfast.


    When they knew they were coming over, they called for people to fill up the fridge.


    After all, they were going to stay here for a few days, so it was impossible for them to leave every day.


    "Good morning, Mr. Bo." While he was frying the eggs, Jojouan noticed the thin shaker standing outside the kitchen. "It''ll be ready soon."


    The sunlight from outside the window shone into his hair, dazzling him with a golden glow.


    "Getting up so early." Bian Xiu saw that Qiao Chun An was nervous, so she returned to the living room, but her eyes never left Qiao Chun An.


    Her unbearably small waist was covered by a long green dress. The apron she wore revealed her slim waist.


    "Mr. Bo, breakfast is ready." Qiao Chunan walked out of the kitchen and found that the thin bell wasn''t there. He called out and brought out the things in the kitchen.


    Breakfast was not complicated. There was toast, fried eggs, and a generation of hot milk.


    When the thin cultivator came out, he didn''t mention where he had gone to. The two finished their breakfast and went to find Shao Yishuo.


    He said last night that he was going to see his law office today.


    Shao''s law firm was located in the heart of Los Angeles. There weren''t many people working there, but they were organized enough to feel the enthusiasm of the people working there.


    Since he didn''t have any work arrangements this morning, the two of them went to Shao Yishuo''s law office.


    "Chu An, Bo Xiuran, you''re here." Shao Yishuo, who was at work, saw the two of them appear in his office. He patted his head and said, "I was a bit too busy and forgot to pick you two up."


    "We knew the address, so we came by ourselves." Qiao Chunan smiled as he spoke to Shao Yishuo. After the thin Shura entered, he found a place to sit down.


    "CEO Bo, how about I ask my secretary to accompany you for a walk." Shao Yishuo raised his head to look at Shao Yishuo, who was sitting on the sofa. With a malicious expression, he said, "Alice is a flower in my law firm."


    "When did you start pimping?" The thin, long and thin Xiu Lun directly knocked on the table. His tone was indescribably cold, making Shao Yishuo feel the goosebumps on his skin.


    He was regretting that he had gone to provoke the emaciated empress dowager.


    Let him have his dry vinegar there!


    What was he talking about!


    "Chu An, are you interested in seeing how our law firm works?" When Shao Yishuo was provoked by the thin cultivator, he immediately turned around and entered the battlefield.


    "Is that really possible?" When she had entered earlier, she had discovered many names that she had heard before.


    I didn''t expect them to be in Shao Yishuo''s law office.


    Not to mention working with them, just seeing how they worked would help her in the future.


    After Shao Yishuo said goodbye to the Elementary Scholar, he took Qiao Chu An to take a walk around the other offices.


    About half an hour later.


    "Miss Qiao, today you should learn from Shao Yishuo. I have something to do in the afternoon, so I''ll be leaving first." As soon as the two of them returned to the office, they saw Bo Xiuniang stand up and prepare to leave.


    "Don''t you need me?" Jojouan packed his things and followed her as she prepared to leave.


    But when she heard him call her to stay, she looked up, confused.


    "No, personal." The expression on the face of the thin cultivator was cold and reserved. It was obvious that he was overthinking things as he tried to discern the expression on his face.

 C39

    He did not follow her. She knew that she did not like people disobeying her.


    After the thin one left, Qiao Chu An followed behind Shao Yishuo to study.


    One day wasn''t a long time, but it was enough for Qiao Chu An to benefit greatly.


    Especially in such a high-pressure environment like the law firm, he felt like he had the ability to withstand pressure.


    "Thank you for your guidance today." When Shao Yishuo returned Qiao Chunan to the villa, Qiao Chunan thanked him once again.


    Shao Yishuo replied with a smile, "You''ve also provided me with new ideas today."


    "Haha, it feels like the two of us are boasting about ourselves!"


    Hearing Shao Yishuo''s words, the smile in Qiao Chuan''s eyes became a bit more genuine. Then, he turned around and walked towards the villa.


    Qiao Chuan did not return late. When he left, he did not contact the thin Shura.


    Only then did Shao Yishuo send her back.


    Although it was not late in the night, the villa still required lights to see everything.


    When he returned to the villa, the lights were not turned on.


    When he turned on the light, he thought, as he changed his shoes, why had he not come back yet?


    Not only did he not come back, he did not even say hello.


    He couldn''t help but sigh.


    Jojouan''s room was next to the dainty one, and he walked past it as he walked back to his own room.


    "Bang!" The sound of a cup of water falling to the ground caused Qiao Chun An to stop.


    There was no light in the room. He pressed on the doorknob and found that the door inside was not locked.


    "Mr. Bo? Is that you? " Jojouan took the baseball bat from behind the door of his room and went to the room where the Tinker was sitting. He turned on the light and found the Tinker sitting on the sofa with his stomach in his hands.


    "Miss Qiao, what are you doing?" Sweat began to pour down his forehead. When he saw Qiao Chuan An, he stood up and pulled the corners of his mouth.


    "I thought there was a thief." Qiao Chunan looked at the pale face of Bo Xiuran and asked with concern: "Mr. Bo, what''s wrong with you?"


    "It''s nothing, just my stomach hurts a little." After saying that he was fine, there was an expression of disapproval on Qiao Chunan''s face. He then blurted out the matter of his stomachache.


    "Didn''t you eat well at noon?" Qiao Chuan frowned. "I''m going to cook some porridge. Wait a moment."


    After saying this, Qiao Chu An went out.


    When he got up to make breakfast this morning, he knew that there was something in the kitchen.


    While Jojouan was cooking the porridge with rice cutlet, Shoshone came out of the room.


    Although his stomach was still aching, it did not affect his behavior.


    As for what happened in the room earlier, it was an accident.


    "Mr. Bo, why did you come out?" After putting away the porridge, Jojouan walked out of the kitchen and found the mending man sitting on the sofa.


    "Come out for a breath of fresh air." Although the face of the thin cultivator was still pale, but his expression was noble and cold. He did not remind anyone of the person who had clutched his stomach and was now leaning on the sofa.


    "Miss Qiao, why haven''t you thought of falling in love?" He raised his eyes and looked at the hair floating down to his ears. The dim yellow light from the kitchen made him seem like a firework.


    "You usually work overtime when I see you."


    "Uh, it''s probably because the time isn''t right yet." Unconsciously, Qiao Chuan pulled his hair away from his ears, revealing his small, fair earlobes. He looked a little embarrassed.


    Thinking of her heart''s desire from last night, and thinking of the child she sold, her heart couldn''t help but throb.


    Some lies come true a thousand times.


    But here, no matter how grand her geography, she could not forget the child he had sold.


    Apart from the fact that she couldn''t accept another relationship due to the family matter, the child was also the thorn in her heart.


    He could not pull it out, and he did not want to pull it out. He would make her remember that it was all those grudges.


    "Oh right, Mr. Bo, have you really been together with Miss Duan?" With some awkwardness, Joachim turned the conversation around, moving from his own emotional issues to the love affair of the emaciated empress.


    The thin scholar leaned back against the sofa, his fingers curled up slightly, his face was pale, but his voice was calm and cold, "What makes you think that?"


    "Isn''t that what the media says?" After he had mentioned this topic, he wanted to bite off his tongue.


    What was there to ask? Didn''t she already know the answer?


    "You believe everything the media says?" The thin cultivator raised his eyebrows. Looking at the vexation on Qiao Chunan''s face, he could not help but chuckle. "White ones can be said as black by them."


    "No, I heard about it when I was returning home," Qiao Chunan said. He saw the mocking expression on the thin cultivator''s face and was a bit annoyed. "I heard that An An was her child, so I wanted to ask."


    "Anthea is not her child." Hearing this, Bo Xiuran''s face immediately darkened.


    Seeing the change in Xiuran''s expression, Qiao Chuan felt that he was not the right person to speak today. Otherwise, how could he say something wrong?


    Coincidentally, at this time, the pressure cooker sounded.


    "The porridge is ready. I''ll go and get it from you." He got up and went to the kitchen.


    Qiao Chunan''s fleeing action made the corner of the emaciated woman''s lips curve upwards and her heart throb slightly.


    After staying in the kitchen for a while, he covered up his expression. Then, he carried the porridge out.


    "Mr. Bo, you can eat the porridge if you let it cool down a bit." Qiao Chuan placed the bowl of porridge in front of him. "Then I''ll go back to my room first."


    "Let''s stay and eat together." Just as he was about to leave, the sound of the thin shaman reached his ears.


    She could not allow anyone to reject her words, and even if she did, she would not show any signs of resisting.


    "I haven''t seen you in the past few days to contact you." The hand holding the spoon paused for a moment, then continued, "I used to argue a lot to see you."


    "Eh, she''s just a child. She''s so forgetful." Qiao Chunan smiled somewhat embarrassedly. This was a secret between her and Bo Anjin, they definitely wouldn''t let the Shuiren know about it.


    In the past, the two of them often chatted about Bo Anjin, so Qiao Chunan felt that this wasn''t a good idea. Thus, he privately consulted with Bo Anjin and found more time to call him, so she didn''t mention her in front of his father.


    It seems that the child is abiding by his promise.


    Thinking of this, the smile on Qiao Chuan''s face softened.


    Xiuran lowered his head, concealing the expression on his face as he elegantly drank the porridge.


    As for the secret between Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin, how could he not know?


    He just pretended that he didn''t know.

    They didn''t stay at Shao Yishuo''s place for long before they went to another place to continue their business.


    After a week on the road, Jojouan was very busy, but after a week, her abilities had improved a lot.


    He had a very intuitive understanding of the law abroad and domestic law. He also got to know some of the more outstanding lawyers and kept in contact with them in private.


    A week later, the two returned to the country together.


    Jojouan also had a very clear understanding of the diluvio.


    At least the thin shaman at work was charming, and with him there was no sense of oppression.


    Of course, these were all things that Qiao Chuan kept in his heart and did not let anyone see through.


    After all, in the current stage, she was only working hard, accumulating experience, testing for a judicial certificate, and then returning what the Gu family had done to Madam Qiao step by step.


    They got off the plane and went home to rest.


    Not long after Qiao Chuan arrived home, the door was knocked with a loud bang.


    The sound of the door being knocked made Qiao Chu An frown. "Chu An, I know you''re back. Can you open the door for me?"


    Hearing the familiar voice, Qiao Chu, who was going to open the door, stopped and sat back down on the sofa.


    It was the sound of Qin Kuan opening the door.


    The voice made Qiao Chunan shudder. His thoughts went back to that night.


    Her face turned pale, but the begging voice outside the door did not intend to bypass her.


    "Chu An, I was wrong. I drank too much that night, so it wasn''t intentional." The plea in his voice made him feel nauseous.


    She remembered the events of that night clearly. He was awake.


    So what if he was drunk? Could being drunk erase the fact that he had hurt her?


    "Chu An, open the door for me. Listen to me explain, I''m really drunk, will you listen to me?" The sound of Qin Zheng knocking on the door was accompanied by a sorrowful howl, causing one''s heart to soften. After hearing this, one immediately wanted to open the door.


    Qiao Chunan had no intention of opening the door. No matter how much Qin Guan admitted to his wrongdoings, the events of that night had happened.


    It was impossible to pretend that nothing had happened.


    She could not forgive him!


    After Qin Guan had knocked on the door for a long time, Qiao Chuan An didn''t answer at all. The impatience in his heart gradually appeared on his face.


    In this period of time, Qin Guan realized that everything he did was not going well. He only found out that someone was purposely messing with him after secretly finding a connection with him.


    The only person he could think of was Qiao Chuan.


    After all, the only person he had provoked during this period of time was Qiao Chuan.


    "Jojouan, open the door!" His tone of voice gradually turned forceful, and was no longer as pleading as before.


    "If you don''t open the door, I''ll smash it!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, the door was slammed open.


    The local security Qiao Chuan An found was not very good, but the price was very good.


    Qiao Chunan raised his head to look at the person who had smashed open the door with a ferocious expression. His expression was one of shock. The warmth of Qin Guan''s face had long since disappeared without a trace.


    "Qiao Chuan, have you been looking for someone to target me recently?" As Qin Guan approached him step by step, Qiao Chun An was preparing to call the police with his cell phone in his hand.


    "Qin Dai, what are you planning to do?" Qiao Chunan looked at the expression on Qin Guan''s face, his voice breaking, "It''s illegal for you to barge into someone''s house like that!"


    "Violation of the law? "I already broke the law!" Hearing the word "foul", Qin Guan''s expression suddenly changed. He stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Chunan. Just as he was about to step forward and control him, someone ran into the room.


    Dressed in the dim yellow light of the corridor, he suddenly appeared in front of Qiao Chun An.


    Qin Guan was facing away from Qiao Chuan. He didn''t know that someone was following him, but just as he was about to move closer to Qiao Chuan, the person behind him knocked him down with a punch.


    The man on the ground cast a fierce glance behind him. When he realized that it was the protector, his pupils constricted. There was a look of hatred on his face, but at the same time, there was also fear.


    He turned his head to look at Qiao Chunan and found that her expression was one of obvious joy.


    What I didn''t understand before is now understood.


    So this was the relationship between them.


    "You are very good, Qiao Chuan. I have come this far today. Haha, you have done a great service!" Qin Luo opened the chair and got up from the ground. "Do you think you can get a good fruit just by getting close to a thin shaman?"


    "Qiao Chuan, you are still too inexperienced!"


    "Scram!" The emaciated face of the empress had no expression on it, her voice was cold and breathtaking. Qin Dun looked at the empress, spat a mouthful of water, and stumbled towards the door.


    "Qiao Chuan, I''ll wait for the day you fall down!" With these words, Qin Guan disappeared.


    Seeing that Qin Guan had left, Qiao Chuan slowly walked to the door and propped it up. At the same time, he called his landlord and asked him to find someone to fix the door.


    "Thank you very much, Mr. Bo." After he was done with the door matters, he lowered his head and suppressed his happiness. He went to the kitchen and poured a cup of hot water for Lan Shuyan.


    "Are you okay?" Xiuran looked at Qiao Chuan An''s blushing face and unconsciously stroked her head, "I won''t let Qin Zhen come and disturb you again."


    The warmth on top of his head made him at a loss. The powder on his face spread to his ears.


    "I''m fine." Qiao Chunan''s heart skipped a beat, but it was quickly suppressed.


    The thin cultivator saw that Qiao Chuan An''s heart was moved and the corner of his mouth lifted slightly. His voice became a little softer. "In the future, buy a few more alarm devices and leave them at home. There are a lot of bad people."


    "Yes." Qiao Chuan An nodded his head and moved a step to the side, dodging from the thin Shura''s hand.


    She still wasn''t used to getting too close to others.


    "Oh right, this is the document for tomorrow. I forgot to give it to you." He stood up, picked up the documents that had just been left outside the door, and handed them to Qiao Chuan. "Rest well, I''ll be leaving first."


    "Yes, Mr. Bo, take care." Jojouan got up and walked her out.


    After sending off the thin shaman, and after the landlord had the door repaired, Jojouan sat on the bed in a daze.


    She couldn''t tell what she felt.


    Qin Dun, who had originally thought that she had completely stepped out of her life, had actually closed the door. He thought that he had already returned home, but somehow or other, he just happened to save her.


    She was truly unable to see through these matters.


    Just as he was thinking about these things, the phone rang.


    "Hello, Xiaoxiao. Yes, I''m back. Fortunately, I''ve been abroad for five years, and there''s nothing to worry about. Am I not safely back now? " Qiao Chuan received a call from Lin Hanxue, the color of his face slowly returned.


    "I''ll be careful." The corner of his mouth raised slightly. "When are you coming back?"


    "Then when you come back, remember to bring me some specialties!" After chatting for a bit, Lin Hanxue hung up.


    Turning the phone, the smile on Qiao Chuan''s face was very relaxed. The shadow brought by Qin Dai had already dissipated.

 C41

    Not long after, the phone rang again.


    Seeing that it was a call from Bo Anjin, Qiao Chuan answered the phone without any hesitation.


    "Auntie Qiao, did you come back from a business trip?" The other side''s soft voice came over the phone line, "Dad actually brought you over on this business trip. I''m unhappy."


    "I''m back." Qiao Chu An''s voice was very gentle. "Is An An at home good?"


    "An Xin is very obedient at home." Bo Anjin''s face was tense as he whispered, "The jigsaw puzzle from last time is about to be finished. Auntie Qiao, when are you coming over to take a look?"


    "Then when auntie is free, come over." She didn''t know what was going on in the company, so she couldn''t casually give a child a promise.


    "That''s what you say every time." "Can''t you find some time to come?"


    Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, Qiao Chuan was surprised for a moment. He then smiled and said, "Auntie really has something to do. If you''re free, you will definitely come back for me."


    She had so many things to do that she couldn''t spend all her time with her children.


    No matter how adorable An Ran was, she would never forget what she had to do.


    And the child.


    Even though every time she was with Anthea, she always felt that she had made up for her child.


    But she knew that it was impossible. She couldn''t possibly treat An An as the child. That would be unfair to the child.


    Even if that child didn''t know of the existence of her mother, she couldn''t give anything that belonged to that child as she wished to.


    "You liar!" Bo Anjin curled his lips and said with a tearful voice, "Auntie Qiao, do you not like me anymore?"


    The child was very sensitive to his emotions. Although he didn''t know why, but Bo Anjin always felt that his Aunt Qiao was fawning on him. She clearly had time, but she just didn''t want to see him.


    "Anthea, what makes you think that?" Hearing the tearful tone of Bo Anjin, Qiao Chun An was at a loss of what to do. This was the first time she had seen Bo Anjin lose her temper.


    In the past, the two of them had gotten along very well. Whatever she said, Bo Anjin would listen to it.


    Even if he didn''t listen, he would apologize to her soon after, saying that he knew he was wrong.


    Had she been spoiled by a child to the point where she forgot that she was the adult and that An''an was the child?


    "Auntie Qiao, you really don''t like me anymore?" Is it because of my father? " Bo Anjin looked at the door of the room as he walked in, and his mouth twitched as tears welled up in his eyes.


    "No, An An. You''re thinking too much. Auntie really likes you." Qiao Chuan didn''t know what to say, so he could only repeat these words. "If Auntie is free, she will definitely come to see you."


    After repeating the words for a while, he felt a little exhausted, so he hung up the phone.


    On the other side, Bo Anjin was glaring at Bo Xiuran.


    "Father, when did you bring Aunt Qiao home to be my mother?" Bo Anjin pulled the thin Shuyan and said with tears in his eyes, "I feel like Auntie Qiao doesn''t like me anymore. Do you think she has any other cute little girls?"


    "What makes you think that?" "Auntie Qiao loves you."


    "No, Auntie Qiao doesn''t like me anymore!" The corners of Bo Anjin''s mouth turned down, "The class next door, Little Fatty, said that his mother would take him to the amusement park every weekend."


    "Auntie Qiao never took me with her. She never came to find me on weekends, so she definitely doesn''t like me."


    "An An, your Auntie Qiao likes you a lot, but there are a lot of things happening in the company recently. She''s very busy, so when she has free time, she will definitely come and play with you." The thin Shura touched Bo Anjin''s head, his voice was gentle, and very different from the cold voice outside.


    "Alright, I''ll wait for Auntie Qiao to come find me." Bo Anjin wrinkled his nose. He held his hand and was about to hug the thin Shuiyan. The thin Shuiyan carried the two of them into the room.


    After coaxing Bo Anjin to sleep, the Shura thought about what happened tonight and couldn''t help but chuckle.


    What happened here Qiao Chuan did not know.


    By the time he got to work the next day, he was very busy.


    After returning from a business trip, he had a lot of things to take care of.


    After a busy morning, after lunch, Qiao Chao An finally had time to pay attention to what was happening in the entertainment circle.


    See if those things involve Shanghua Entertainment.


    He went online and opened a web page. What he saw was an interview with Duan Wan.


    Duan Wan is the head of Shanghua Entertainment, and her matter is related to the shares of Shanghua Entertainment. Furthermore, it has a great relationship with the Ministry of Justice.


    In the middle of the video, Wan was talking to a reporter. Her face was bashful as she said something indistinctly about her relationship with Xi Qiyan.


    If she hadn''t asked about the relationship between Yu Di and Duan Wan during the trip, she would have been biased by this video.


    However, even if it was a fake, Qiao Chu An''s emotions were still a little complicated.


    After some thought, Qiao Chuan managed to get rid of the unrealistic fantasy in his mind.


    After all, the boss had already admitted to such rumors, so what was there for her to worry so much about?


    When the story of the Little Red Flower Dans and the Little Siren under Duan Wan''s help quickly mounted the hot search.


    On the other side, Shen Lin occasionally browsed through his Weibo and found some hot topics to talk about.


    He was very clear on the relationship between the thin elementalist and Duan Wan. This kind of question could be searched very quickly. If the thin elementalist didn''t know, he would either agree or agree.


    Duan Wan is Shanghua Entertainment''s top business, bringing a certain amount of benefits to the stocks.


    However, since when did Mr Xi want to raise his share price with his own scandal?


    When Shen Lin saw the search result, he immediately made a phone call to Jian Chen and asked, "Hello, Bi Xiuran, do you really have something going on between you and Duan Wan?"


    After receiving the call from Shen Lin, Bo Xiuran''s expression did not change. He opened his Weibo and looked at his own name lining up with Duan Wan. His face sank.


    "I''ll take care of this."


    "I thought you really had something to do with that Wan''Er." Shen Lin thought of Duan Wan''s appearance and rubbed his goosebumps. "If you like that kind of person, I''ve never introduced you to anyone before."


    "If there''s nothing else, I''ll hang up first." Since he didn''t want to talk to Shen Lin about the random things he had done in the past, he simply hung up the phone.


    Shen Lin looked at the phone as it hung up, his eyes showing signs of watching a good show. In the past, this sort of thing was never left up to him.


    It seemed that he really did have feelings for someone.

 C42

    On the other side of the phone, after Bo Xiuran hung up, he gave the order to call Duan Wan over to the company and also told her manager to inform her about the cancellation of the contract.


    Duan Wan received the call from his manager and told him about Shang Hua Entertainment''s cancellation of their engagement. Immediately, his face turned pale.


    She had never thought of canceling her contract with Shang-Hua for entertainment.


    After all, she clearly knew how good it was to have a big tree to lean on.


    Her recent success was due in large part to her reputation as a scholar.


    Although the people inside the circle knew that her relationship with Bo Xiuran wasn''t as close as the rumors outside, with this relationship, if anyone wanted to help, they would have to consider whether Bo Xiufang would help her or not.


    If he were to break off his contract with Shanghainese Entertainment now, all the respect he had previously received would disappear.


    So what if the entertainment circle was a popular little flower, in the eyes of those tycoons, it was just a public relations issue with a higher price.


    Thinking that he would go back to the days before he became famous, Duan Wan grabbed his bag and ran towards the company.


    She had to see if there was room.


    She had contributed to Shanghua, and if it hadn''t been for that, she wouldn''t have dared to make the raft again and again.


    He thought that this would be the same as the previous few times, he didn''t expect that he would want to break off the engagement with her.


    Thinking about the scene of her following Bo Xiuran and seeing her leave Qiao Chunan''s place last night, Duan Wan''s heart was very agitated. That bitch, Qiao Chuan, she even said that it had nothing to do with Bo Xiuran.


    Would it matter if the CEO came out of her house in the middle of the night?


    Duan Wan rushed back to the company quickly.


    At the same time, Qiao Chuan received work related to the cancellation of Duan Wan.


    When he saw the new mission, he was stunned for a moment.


    She remembered that back then when she asked about the relationship between Yu Di and Duan Wan, he said that he didn''t pursue the matter since Duan Wan was Shang Hua''s favorite flower. So why did he start pursuing the matter now?


    Although he could not understand what was going on, since the matter was settled, he contacted the HR Department and went to the Artist Department together with them.


    Since he wanted to cancel the contract, there were some things that needed to be done well.


    Previously, she had studied all the contracts of all the artists, so it wouldn''t be difficult for her to cancel them now.


    Qiao Chunan and the HR department were waiting for Duan Wan to arrive. Duan Wan came to the company, but didn''t go to the Artist Department. Instead, he went to the CEO''s office.


    "CEO, why did you break off the contract with me?" When Duan Wan went up, he happened to run into Xiuran, who was coming downstairs, and immediately went up to stop him.


    The thin Xiu Nan dodged Duan Wan''s movement and frowned, "What are you doing here? "Find your agent if you need anything."


    If an artist wanted to come up, he would be able to do it. It seemed that the management of this CEO was still a little weak.


    "CEO, I don''t think I made any mistakes. You have to give me a reason to cancel my contract!" Duan Wan''s eyes were bloodshot, his face devoid of any color, and his voice was sharp, "I''ve created a huge fortune for Shang Hua, I refuse to accept this!"


    "It wasn''t you who became Shang Hua''s successor that Shang Hua praised you." Xiuran''s expression was cold and reserved, his voice as cold as usual, "This matter of cancelling the contract must be done."


    "Is it because of today''s scandal? I will immediately get people to withdraw. CEO, you really can''t cancel the contract with me. I can even help Shang Hua, and the contract can be downgraded. "


    Duan Wan''s voice was urgent. He thought that the only thing that she had angered Yu Di during this period of time was today''s scandal. He could not help but explain and mention that he could benefit from it.


    "There is no room for negotiation." He had given Duan Wan a chance, but she had kept pestering him. If that was the case, then he might as well leave Shanghua.


    Duan Wan looked at her back and knew that she was done for this time. His heart was filled with hatred, but he did not show it on his face. Tears welled up in his eyes, making him look especially pitiful.


    When the manager called again, Duan Wan tidied up his appearance and walked towards the artiste department.


    Even if she lost, no one would be able to see her side.


    When he came downstairs, he asked the PR Department to clarify this morning''s scandal.


    He looked at them as if they were stuck in his throat.


    Duan Wan arrived at the Artist Department and looked at Qiao Chunan who was waiting in her office. A trace of anger flashed across his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.


    "Wan Wan, this is the manager of the HR department, and this is a member of the legal department. They came to discuss the matter of cancelling the contract with you." When Duan Wan''s manager saw him, he immediately went up to greet him and introduce him to her.


    She wasn''t sure if she would go with her after Duan Wan broke the contract, but the agent had done his job well on the surface.


    "Qiao Chuan An, now I have finally broken off my engagement with Shang Hua. Are you happy?" Although he had been hinting to himself to make her tense up, when he saw her face, the fire in his heart flared up.


    "Miss Duan, I came here today to discuss the matter of terminating your contract." I don''t want to talk about anything else, and I don''t want to talk about it.


    "You seduced the CEO, now looking at your results, aren''t you very proud of yourself!?" Seeing how calm and collected Qiao Chuyun was, Duan Jiu Wan really wanted to reach out his hand and scratch that face in front of him.


    "Miss Duan, take a look at the contract we signed earlier and see if it''s wrong." Seeing that Duan Wan was getting more and more outrageous, the HR manager stood up.


    They had a lot of things to do, so it was impossible for them to stay here forever.


    "What is it? Seeing that I have lost, you want to step on me as well? " Duan Wan was currently at the stage where he could bite whoever he wanted, but it was impossible for him to not do this.


    After all, the orders from the higher-ups were urgent and had to be completed within today.


    "Wan Wan, let''s take a look at the contract first." The manager pulled Duan Wan. Right now, the situation was better than the others, so even if they wanted to delay the contract, they couldn''t.


    "Miss Duan, you have violated the contract''s third paragraph 8, you will ¡­" Seeing that Duan Wan had quieted down, Qiao Chu An immediately opened the documents and went about his business.


    Even if Duan Wan wanted to argue, he couldn''t argue with a professional. In fact, he even exposed his own shallow knowledge.


    An hour later, Duan Wan''s cancellation of the contract came to an end.


    Qiao Chunan took the documents and walked out of Duan Wan''s office. He also took the documents that were kept by the HR Department and returned to the HR Department.


    Duan Wan was the manager of Shanghua Entertainment, Little Hua Dan. He had his own office.


    But this office no longer belonged to her.


    Duan Wan looked at Qiao Chuan An''s back, a sinister light flashing across his eyes. If it wasn''t for her, she would not have spoken so unclearly in the reporters'' interview this morning.


    She had paid so much to reach where she was today. Now that she had lost everything because of Qiao Chuan An, she would definitely not let her off!


    Even if he were to die, he would at least drag someone down with him.

 C43

    After thinking about these things, Duan Wan turned on his phone and realized that his phone had been turned off. Thinking about the hot topic this morning, he had an idea.


    On the other hand, Qiao Chunan was busy settling the rest of Duan Wan''er''s appointment until he had gotten off work.


    She had no idea that Duan Wan was going to deal with her.


    After he organized his things, there was no one left in the company when Qiao Chuan An left.


    As usual, he was going to the bus stop.


    But before he could leave the company, he was stopped by someone walking out from the flowerbed nearby.


    "Miss Duan, what can I do for you?" Qiao Chunan stood on the spot and frowned as he looked at Duan Wan''s red eyes.


    He really wanted to kill her when he was at the office this afternoon, why did it seem like she was bullying him for just a few hours?


    "Miss Qiao, can you not interfere between me and Xiu Nan?" Duan Wan turned her face to the side and her tears fell down, reflecting the sunset. It was especially beautiful.


    Qiao Chuan couldn''t help but take a step back when he saw Duan Wan''s appearance. With a slightly angry expression on his face, he said, "Miss Duan, don''t talk about the matters between you and Mister Bo in front of me anymore."


    "Moreover, I think you know very well whether Mr. Bo is related to you or not!"


    "Miss Qiao, can you give Xiu Lun back to me!" As Duan Wan spoke these words, his legs bent and he fell to his knees.


    When Qiao Chu An saw Duan Wan''s reaction, his expression became more and more unsightly. His expression became tense as he took another step back.


    There must be something wrong.


    The corner of Duan Wan Wan''s mouth slightly raised as she watched Qiao Chunan retreat. Her eyes flashed a hint of pride. Her voice wasn''t as bitter and deep as before, but her expression was still pitiful.


    "Qiao Chuan, did the CEO go to your place yesterday?" Duan Wan kneeled and crawled over to Qiao Chuan An''s side, grabbing his pants. "There''s another man coming out from your side."


    "Are you a double boat? Or is he just someone who came out to sell? " Duan Wan''s gloomy voice reminded Qiao Chuan of that night.


    She had always thought that everything was fine, but she never thought that it would always be in the depths of her mind.


    "Duan Wan, slander requires legal responsibility!" Qiao Chuan pulled his foot out from Duan Wan''s hand. Unexpectedly, Duan Wan fell back and hit his head on the ground.


    Just as Qiao Chuan was about to pull Duan Wan up, a light flashed from the flowerbed.


    In an instant, Qiao Chu An understood everything.


    She had been hanging around online recently and knew of Duan Wan''s reputation.


    Today, she had pushed Duan Wan away. Even if she knew that the media wouldn''t think so, and even more so for the fans, they wouldn''t think so.


    Thinking about the public opinion violence she had just returned from, Qiao Chun An was a little irritated. The persimmon was really soft.


    The last time, Su Ran had tried to discredit her by hugging her legs because she had taken a car with a thin-shaker. This time, Duan Wan had used her own reputation to discredit her because the thin-shaker had given her the task of cancelling her appointment with Duan Wan.


    There would definitely be brainless fans amongst the fans. If this sort of news was released, she definitely wouldn''t be able to stand it. There might even be people throwing trash at her house.


    "Duan Wan, what are you trying to do?" Qiao Chu An''s expression was extremely unsightly. He lowered his head to look at the man lying on the ground. Duan Wan slowly got up, looking extremely pleased with himself.


    "Qiao Chuan, you''re finished." Duan Wan''s lips twitched, and with a look of ridicule on his face, he said, "You dare touch my cheese, you''re just waiting to be hacked!"


    "How come I didn''t know I was someone else''s cheese?" A cold voice came from the side, causing Duan Wan to stand rooted to the spot.


    When he heard the voice, he looked towards the source of the voice.


    The person who came was covered in a multicolored light. When the light of the setting sun shone on his face, he looked like a god dressed in golden armor.


    "CEO." Duan Wan''s face turned pale as he pulled at the hem of his skirt, which had been pleated when he knelt down, and turned his face to look at the newcomer.


    "Duan Wan, you''ve really grown up." "Why are you so impatient to make Shang Hua''s stock fall? Aren''t you overestimating your power?"


    If he had forgotten something in his office today, he would not have been able to see such a good show.


    "CEO, I ¡­" Duan Wan stuttered, not knowing what to say.


    She clearly saw the power of the thin elementalist. It was because she saw it clearly that she did not target Shang Hua for her revenge.


    "This matter will not affect Shang Hua." Duan Wan said these words, but the expression on his face did not change at all.


    When Qiao Chuan heard Duan Wan''s words, the corners of his mouth twitched. Naturally, this had nothing to do with Shang Hua.


    It only had to do with her.


    The tolerance of men is far greater than that of women.


    Duan Wan posted these photos online and found someone to bring them to the internet.


    Other people would say that she was a mistress, that she destroyed other people''s family, and that all sorts of insults and insults would be directed at her.


    Duan Wan will get sympathy, at most, the emollient people tease.


    There were only a few women who were rich and powerful, so the comments on the internet were not bad.


    When these photos were sent out, she was the only one who suffered a loss.


    "Heh, Duan Wan, aren''t you thinking too mercifully of me?" As he said this, he turned to look at the pale man, "What are you still standing here for? Let''s go."


    Hearing the words of the thin cultivator, Qiao Chu An was stunned. However, a moment later, he followed behind him.


    The two of them got into the car. The thin Xiuran''s slender fingers rested on the steering wheel, his eyes glanced at the person beside him who had a bad expression, and he chuckled, "Are you worried about the photos?"


    "Yes." Qiao Chao An replied and said no more.


    She was thinking about how she was going to settle this matter.


    Luckily, she turned on the video function of her phone when Duan Wan walked over. If Duan Wan really did send out those photos, she would have been able to deal with it as well.


    However, she had never dared to underestimate her fans'' IQ.


    No matter how many mistakes Duan Wan had committed, in the end, someone still blamed her for it.


    "Don''t worry, those pictures can''t be released." Xi Xiuran knocked on the steering wheel and looked at Qiao Chuan An''s pursed lips. He was in a good mood as he explained.


    Hearing this, Qiao Chu An turned his head to look at the Elementary Scholar, pursed his lips and said, "Thank you, Mister Bo."


    "Since something happened to Shang Hua, I will naturally help." With that, the green light arrived, and Shuren Minute sent Qiao Chuan home.


    After sending Qiao Chunan home, the thin Shuyuyan immediately called the general manager of Shanghua.


    The entertainment circle had always been a chaotic place. If one wanted to get along well, there was a high chance that some things would be lost.


    Since Duan Wan was able to reach this stage, she naturally had her methods. However, those methods weren''t worth mentioning in front of the tycoons.


    It was because she clearly knew this that she urgently wanted to marry into the Bo family and give herself a backer.


    Xi Xiuran knew very well that Duan Wan had used those methods before. With a single phone call, his Weibo search was immediately blown up.


    To seduce a married man, sleep with him, attend sexual gatherings, be taken care of by others, play cards, hit people, all sorts of black data in an instant dominated Weibo''s search results.


    When he returned home at night, he didn''t care about what was going on online. She continued to read her law books.


    On the other hand, Duan Wan Wan loved to go online and watch others praise her.


    When she saw all of her black material being leaked on the internet, she nearly fainted.


    This was a complete disgrace to her!

 C44

    She had been in the entertainment circle for so many years, but in the end her shoes were still wet.


    There was no image of Qiao Chuan in any of the storms on the Internet.


    After a good night''s sleep, he went to work the next day in high spirits.


    The incident with Duan Wan had taught her a lesson: she wanted to stay in Shang Hua quietly, and that was to avoid provoking those female celebrities.


    He could help her solve the problem once, but did she have to rely on a thin layer of wood to solve these problems every time?


    With her like this, how could she make the Gu Clan repay what they had done to Madam Qiao?


    Xiu Lan didn''t know these thoughts. He didn''t even know that his help yesterday had backfired. He didn''t make Qiao Chun An thank him. Instead, he made her want to stay away from him.


    Before going to work, Jojouan went online to read some news.


    Seeing that the screen was filled with black material about Duan Wan, Qiao Chu An was a little dazed.


    Yesterday, she was so arrogant that she even wanted to make the person who was beaten up by her online was confused this morning?


    Did she not wake up from her sleep, or did Duan Wan anger the others?


    In his mind, he saw the side of her face, which was extremely noble. However, after a while, she was also dragged down.


    There was no reason for a thin one to do this.


    After all, even though Duan Wan and Shang Hua had broken off their engagement, these things were things that she had done while she was in Shang Hua.


    If these matters were exposed, people would suspect Shang Hua, and even other artists of Shang Hua would be questioned.


    Qiao Chunan had yet to figure out what was going on when he saw the hot search tail of Duan Wan and Shang Hua breaking off their engagement.


    Looking at the public relations text, Qiao Chuan knew that even if Duan Wan exposed the black matter, it wouldn''t affect Shang Hua much.


    Moreover, Shang Hua was originally a subsidiary, so even if he went bankrupt, it wouldn''t have much of an impact on the thin shaman.


    These things had little to do with Qiao Chuan An, so he put them in his mind and began to work hard.


    Not long after, Shen Lin came to find the thin shaman. When he saw Qiao Chunan, he remembered that the thin shaman had asked for his help last night. Thus, he told this to Qiao Chunan.


    As for the matter of him chasing someone else, he definitely had to act as an assistant.


    There are some things you have to say, or how others will know it''s your help.


    "Ah?" "Oh." Hearing Shen Lin''s words, Qiao Chunan was stunned. He didn''t know how to respond. She had just decided that she would stay away from Xiuran this morning. Now, she knew that he was the one who had helped her resolve the matter regarding Duan Wan.


    When Shen Lin saw Qiao Chuan''s expression, he smiled and went to the CEO''s office. If Jojouan were to be with the thin-shaven girl in the future, he would definitely have to pay for the matchmaker''s money.


    Watching a show was watching a show, but one couldn''t forget the benefits of doing something like that.


    My dear brother, you are clear about the score.


    After Shen Lin told Qiao Chuan An about this matter, he turned around and went to the CEO''s office to look for Bo Xiuran.


    When Shen Lin entered the office, the thin man was talking to someone with a relatively cold voice.


    The man''s back was to Shen Lin, and he couldn''t see what the man looked like, but his voice was very melodious.


    "Bo Xiuran, where did you poach him from?" After Shen Lin said this, the person who spoke to the thin Shuriken turned around.


    A pair of eyes flickered with splendor, contrasting with the clear and cold expression on his face.


    A cold, fairy-like beauty for no reason.


    Shen Lin''s voice got softer and softer as he spoke, his gaze almost landing on that woman.


    When Guan Lan''s gaze landed on Shen Lin, Shen Lin could feel his own breathing becoming increasingly hurried.


    "Miss Guan, this is Shen Lin, a good friend of mine. He also works with our company." Xiuran''s eyebrows twitched as he saw the meaning in Shen Lin''s eyes.


    "Hello, I''m Shangguan Lan, an artiste at Shanghua Entertainment." The self-introduction introduced herself was very simple.


    "CEO, if there''s nothing else, I''ll be leaving first." Shangguan Lan''s gaze fell on the thin cultivator, seeing him nod his head, she got up and left, walking to Shen Lin''s side, nodding slightly, "Mr Shen, goodbye."


    "Bo Xiuran, where did you find this person?" Shen Lin watched as the back of Guan Guan Lan disappeared into the corridor outside, before turning his head to look at the cultivation elder.


    "Shen Lin, Guan Lan is not suitable for you." Shen Lin was a close friend of the Elementary Cultivator Nalan Shu. He could clearly see some of the expression on his face.


    Not only that, Shen Lin''s expression was extremely clear. He thought that even the officials could tell that there was a hidden meaning within his gaze.


    "What''s suitable?" If he said it was appropriate, it wasn''t appropriate.


    When the thin cultivator heard the meaning behind Shen Lin''s words, he did not explain any further. In any case, he knew what was going on the moment he fell on the ground.


    "You still haven''t told me where Guan Lan came from? Did you use her to replace Duan Wan''s position when you signed the contract? " Each entertainment company will have a leader, so the company''s resources are easy to tilt, more convenient to gain benefits.


    As for fairness, if they were to grow up to look like that, it would already be extremely unfair.


    "Yes, Shangguan Jinglan has recently returned from abroad and worked as a model abroad. She knows a lot about the entertainment industry and she can do whatever she wants in the fashion industry. Of course, the entertainment industry is no problem for her."


    He was a merchant, and when he signed her name, he had already investigated her.


    Of course, the conversation just now had provided him with a basic understanding.


    After all, not just anyone could be the manager of Shanghua Entertainment.


    "That''s good. With Duan Wan gone, there won''t be any faults in Shang Hua." It was already quite good for Guan Jinglan to sign for Shanghua. "Then don''t force her to do something she doesn''t like."


    Speaking of these matters, Shen Lin wasn''t the least bit hesitant. After all, the two of them were merchants, so there were some matters which he was clear of.


    "Naturally, this is an investment. Naturally, I would not want it to lose money." Xiuran raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice, "Shanghua Entertainment won''t have those problems, but I don''t care if those artists want to climb higher."


    The thin Shuren spoke very clearly. From what he had seen today, she had concealed herself a little too well. She had many schemes and tricks up her sleeves, so he did not think that Shen Lin would be her opponent.


    "They asked for it. Of course I wouldn''t say anything." Shen Lin smiled. In any case, he didn''t believe that the person with such a pair of eyes would be someone who would be able to stand above the masses.


    As they were discussing business matters, just as Shangguan Jinglan was about to leave the CEO''s office and get off the elevator, she accidentally bumped into Qiao Chu An who was walking out of the office.


    Qiao Chunan was picking up the documents on the ground, while Guan Lan stooped down to help him pick them up.


    "I''m sorry, I wasn''t looking at the road." Usually, at this time of the day, there would be no one in the corridor. As for Duan Wan''s follow-up information, he seemed to be in a hurry, but he didn''t expect to bump into someone.

 C45

    "Don''t worry, you didn''t do it on purpose."


    Shangguan Lan placed the documents in Qiao Chunan''s hands, then had time to observe his appearance. Qiao Chunan''s appearance was elegant, it was not particularly eye-catching, but the more she looked at it, the more pleasant it became.


    Hearing this clear and melodious voice, Qiao Chuan raised his head and looked at the cold face before him. His eyes were especially alluring, causing her to sway a little.


    She only felt that this immortal energy and the demoness seemed to be very compatible with her.


    That was probably the kind of person the beautiful woman was talking about.


    "If you have something to do, then go ahead. I''ll be leaving first." When Shangguan Lan saw Qiao Chuan''s blank look, she smiled and turned to leave.


    Qiao Chu An looked at the back view of Guan Qing Lan and shook his head. Had she been charmed by a woman?


    But that person was really good-looking.


    Initially, he did not know who that person was. However, after hearing his colleagues in the canteen gossiping during lunch, Qiao Chuan knew that Shang Hua wanted to praise him highly.


    Since the Shang Hua Entertainment Duan Wan had left, he naturally wanted to find someone who could be praised as such.


    After all, from the first glance that Qiao Chuan saw of Guan Zhilan, he knew that the person would be able to turn red.


    Qiao Chuan ignored this matter after hearing it. In the afternoon, when he was about to get off work, he went online as usual to see if there was anything related to Shang Hua.


    Jojouan''s internet surfing was overwhelmed by the earth-shattering photos of the government officials.


    Shang Hua had put in a lot of effort, and not long after Shangguan Lan returned, she was praised and sent out.


    However, Guan Lan was still able to endure those praises. Qiao Chuan looked at the photos on the computer and lamented in his heart, ''Guan Lan is really good-looking.''


    In less than three months, Guan Guan Lan will definitely be famous in the whole of North and South of the Great River.


    He turned off the computer and got ready to leave work.


    Today was Friday, and Lin Hanyue was coming back, so Qiao Chuan was in a good mood.


    However, not long after he had been waiting for the elevator, the meniscus appeared.


    "You''re not working overtime today?" Qiao Chuan was used to getting off work late. Even if he didn''t work overtime, he would still be a few minutes late.


    "I''m done. I''m done." Jojouan looked at the spotlight on the elevator and answered the question nervously.


    "I''m sorry about Duan Wan''s incident yesterday. It won''t happen again."


    Xiuran pursed his lips, his expression was cold and his mood wasn''t good. Last time he was on a business trip, he clearly felt that their relationship had improved a lot. Why did it become like before as soon as he returned?


    "Qin Ku caused trouble for you due to the lawsuit between Shang Hua and the Su Clan. I have already resolved it, he will not cause trouble for you." Thinking of what he had experienced that night, his eyes began to roll with black light.


    "How?" Qiao Chunan tilted his head, his expression was uneasy. He was not worried about Qin Guan, but rather, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.


    "I''ve gone abroad. Don''t worry, I''m a proper businessman." Seeing the look of unease on Qiao Chunan''s face, Bo Xiushan chuckled and rubbed his head. His expression relaxed a lot.


    Qiao Chuan An was extremely uneasy. After a while, the elevator arrived. He walked straight towards the elevator, avoiding the hand that was messing with her head.


    Her face was red, when the elevator was almost here, she thanked him and ran away.


    When they got home, Lin Hanyue returned. Qiao Chunan adjusted his mood and started to cook dinner.


    The next day was Saturday. When Qiao Chuan and Lin Hanxia went to bed that night, they agreed to go shopping the next day.


    On the second day, after the two had finished packing up, they went to the shops in the center of the city to look around.


    It had been five years since he had visited S City, and many of the shops she could not find.


    However, with Lin Hanxiao around, Qiao Chao wouldn''t go blind.


    Although Lin Hanxiao hadn''t stayed at home for a long time, she had always loved to play and knew all the good shops.


    Just as the two were shopping in a bracelet shop, Qiao Chao An raised his head and saw a familiar car in front of him.


    Lin Hanyi saw that Qiao Chunan was a little distracted. He looked around but didn''t see anything. He then lowered his head and continued to pick his things.


    When Qiao Chunan raised his head again, he found that the thin shaman and Shangguan Chenyi had walked out of the car.


    Looking at this scene, for some reason, he felt his heart throbbing and uncomfortable.


    "Eldest Miss, your phone is ringing. What are you looking at?" Lin Hanyue patted Qiao Chuan''s shoulder to help him out of his depression.


    He picked up the phone and looked at the familiar name on it. He pursed his lips and answered the phone, "An An, what''s wrong?"


    "Auntie Qiao, my dad isn''t free to accompany me. Can you come and play with me?" Bo Anjin''s voice was as cheerful as ever, but it soon died down. "If you''re not free, then you can come over."


    Hearing An An''s wronged voice, Qiao Chu An felt very uncomfortable. She didn''t want to reject him.


    Raising his head and looking at the thin scholar and Shangguan Lan walking up the stairs one after the other, Qiao Chunan was even more reluctant to reject Bo Anjin.


    Perhaps when he had a mother in the future, she wouldn''t need to visit him.


    "I''m free, I''ll come find you later." After saying this, Qiao Chun An promised Bo An Jin that she would go over. Thus, he hung up the phone.


    "Whose number is it?" Lin Hanxue, who was picking out the bracelet, looked up with a smile, "You are about to abandon me, there must be a situation."


    "Stop making wild guesses, it''s the boss''s child. The child wants me to go play with him." Qiao Chunan''s expression softened as he thought of Bo Anjin.


    Seeing this, Lin Hanxiao shrugged his shoulders, indicating that she was too excited. He thought that Qiao Chuan had found the other half.


    "Your boss? "A thin surrogate?" She knew some of the things that had happened to him at work.


    "Yes."


    "Are you going to be a babysitter? To think that you actually did it. " Looking at the peaceful expression on Qiao Chunan''s face, Lin Hanyue was so angry that his liver ached.


    "An''an is very cute." Qiao Zheng An smiled and looked at Lin Han Xiao''s angry face. His voice was especially soft. "Because that child is An An, otherwise, do you really think I would have taken care of him?"


    Qiao Chuan An never felt that other people''s care was a burden. He only made her feel grateful towards those who had given her good will.

 C46

    "Tsk, tsk. You raised a child and you even had feelings for her?" Lin Hanxiao teased, "It couldn''t be that they''re after your boss, right?"


    "What are you talking about?" Hearing Lin Hanyue mention the Subtle Siren, Qiao Chunan''s face became slightly pink, but soon disappeared as she thought about the scene where the two of them got off the car.


    "Look, you''re already blushing, and you''re still saying that it''s nothing?" Lin Hanxiao opened his eyes wide at the sight of Qiao Chuan, but seeing that the redness on her face had receded, he knew that perhaps she was interested in him, but reality, or perhaps some other reason, did not allow her to be with him.


    Thinking of this, Lin Hanxiao stopped joking.


    She was familiar with the past, and some jokes were more than enough to make people uncomfortable.


    "It''s really nothing." Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Qiao Chu An smiled apologetically at Lin Hanyue. "I''m going to An An Xin today. We''ll go shopping next week."


    "If you want to go, then go. You don''t have to worry about me. Where am I that I can''t live?!" Lin Han Xiao saw Qiao Chuan''s apology and smiled. "I just happened to have a friend coming over and was thinking how to reject him. Now we both have things to do and it''s perfect."


    "Then I''ll leave first." Qiao Chuan didn''t know much about Lin Hanxue''s friendship, but she had a lot of friends.


    Qiao Chu An left the bracelet shop, turned around and picked up some toys, then took a taxi to the Bo family''s mansion.


    When she arrived at the Bo house, Bo Anjin was waiting for her at the entrance as usual.


    This time, Grandpa Bo was not around, so Qiao Chunan followed him into his room.


    The toy that was in the room was gone, but the jigsaw puzzle that was originally beside it was still there.


    "Auntie Qiao, look, I finished this jigsaw puzzle very well, right?" Bo Anjin led Qiao Chuan to the small table where the jigsaw puzzles were placed as if they were treasures. He pointed at the jigsaw puzzles on the table and raised his head, waiting for them to praise him.


    Qiao Chu An was not stingy with his praise. He patted Bo Anjin''s head and said sincerely, "An An is so awesome. It''s so hard to find a picture to piece together."


    "Auntie Qiao, I want to go to the amusement park today." After receiving Qiao Chuan''s compliment, Bo Anjin immediately made a request, "All the students in the class have gone to the amusement park with mom and dad. I want to go too, Auntie Qiao."


    "An An, it''s not that I don''t want to, it''s just that it''s not safe for you to go out, I have no way to protect you." Qiao Chuan saw the longing in Bo Anjin''s eyes and knew that he wanted to go out and play, but she really had no way to take him.


    Now that she was able to occasionally come over and take a look at the time that even Bo Anjin seemed like he was stealing, there was no need to even mention taking him out to play.


    If she really lost him, not to mention whether the Bo family would forgive her, even she herself would not be able to forgive herself.


    Bo Anjin could see that Qiao Chunan was in a tough spot. He could no longer ask her to take him out to play.


    "Then Auntie Qiao, let''s continue to play jigsaw puzzles. The last time you brought me a jigsaw puzzle, I deliberately kept it for us to play with." Bo Anjin held onto Qiao Chunan''s hand and walked him to the toy store at the side.


    When he arrived at the toy room, he realized that the gifts he had chosen for Bo Anjin were all placed in the center of the room. It was clearly different from the other toys that were arranged neatly.


    It was obvious that Bo Anjin had been playing with these toys for a long time.


    Qiao Chuan sat at the small wooden table and watched as Bo Anjin carefully tore off the wrapping of the jigsaw puzzle. Soon, the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle fell onto the table.


    Bo Anjin was playing with the jigsaw puzzles in silence. Qiao Chunan sat beside him and watched him play. When he could not think of anything else, he gave some advice.


    The morning passed just like that.


    "Hungry? I''m going down to cook. Do you want to come with me? " By eleven o''clock, he knew it was time to make lunch.


    When she came here today, she didn''t see anyone else. It was such a big villa and only Bo Anjin was here.


    I really don''t know how they felt at ease leaving Bo Anjin alone at home.


    "I want to follow!" Hearing about cooking, Bo Anjin immediately stood up. He liked cooking with Auntie Qiao.


    They often cooked together during the week they lived together.


    Although the dishes prepared by Auntie Qiao were not as delicious as those cooked by Uncle Ah, but he still liked them a lot.


    Joachim led Bo Anjin into the Bo family''s kitchen.


    The kitchen was well-equipped, and not long after, the two cooked three dishes and a soup.


    "An''an is awesome. I already know how to cook!" Qiao Chunan had always been a happy person who praised education. Unless Bo Anjin made a very obvious mistake, she would usually praise him first.


    After the two of them finished lunch, Qiao Chu An told Bo An Jin a story. After coaxing the child to sleep, he looked out the window at the blue sky and felt exceptionally comfortable.


    The days of lying in the sun like this, with nothing to worry about, had never happened ever since Mrs Qiao''s troubles and her father''s imprisonment.


    At two-thirty in the afternoon, Bo Anjin woke up. Seeing Qiao Chuan lying in the sun by the window, he tiptoed over to him, leaned on her, and continued to close his eyes.


    He waited until the sun outside the window began to go down before opening his eyes.


    "An An, why didn''t you wake me up?" Qiao Chu An looked at his face and felt a little embarrassed. She had fallen asleep in someone else''s home just like that.


    "Auntie Qiao, are you unhappy? Is it because I''m here to be with you? " Bo Anjin crawled into Qiao Chuan''s embrace, his voice a little muffled, "While you were sleeping, your eyebrows were always furrowed."


    "No, Auntie is very happy." Qiao Chuan patted her head and smiled, "Auntie just had a nightmare and was not unhappy. Ann is so cute, Auntie really likes her. "


    Listening to Aunt Qiao say that she was cute, the disappointment on Bo Anjin''s face finally disappeared. He looked at Qiao Chunan with bright eyes, "Aunt Qiao, since you like An An, why don''t you marry my father? "Then you can see me all the way."


    Hearing Bo Anjin say he wanted her to marry Bo Xiuxiu, Qiao Chun An''s heart skipped a beat. Previously, when she heard Bo Anjin say this, she didn''t feel anything.


    Now that he heard it again, he felt like he could give it a try.


    Of course, that thought was quickly suppressed by Qiao Chu An.


    "An An, this won''t do. You will have a good mother." Qiao Chuan''s face was very gentle as he stroked Bo Anjin''s head.

 C47

    She did not think she would sleep until five in the afternoon.


    Thinking of the scene where he saw Bo Xiuran and Shangguan Lan together, Qiao Chunan shook his head and took Bo Anjin for a walk around the area.


    She didn''t know if Shangguan Ru Lan could be a good mother, but based on her looks, she would probably be happy.


    She was a woman who had completely captivated her.


    After spending some time with her, Qiao Zheng An discovered that Bo Anjin was also an invisible face controller who liked pretty things.


    After a while, the dinner was ready, and he was ready to leave.


    He had already stayed at the Bo house long enough. It would be bad if he continued to stay here.


    Qiao Chuan walked to the door and met a thin cultivator who was walking towards the Bo family''s villa.


    "Mr. Bo." Qiao Chao An nodded and turned to leave.


    "I''ll send you back." The thin, cold expression on his face could not tell what he was thinking as he looked at Qiao Chuan An.


    "No need, I called a taxi and waited for me outside." Thinking about what happened this afternoon, he felt he should avoid suspicion.


    Otherwise, it would be bad if others saw it.


    Just like when she had just returned home and Duan Wan had been questioned about leaving the Bo Family in the middle of the night.


    She didn''t want to get too close to him so that she wouldn''t get caught up in the reporters.


    She didn''t want to suffer this kind of cyber violence again.


    "Alright then, be careful on the way." Mimosa nodded and headed straight for the living room. Just as he was about to enter, he turned around.


    The lights of the house fell on Qiao Chunan''s figure. He was a little thin, and his shadow fell behind him alone.


    Xiuran frowned slightly and threw Qiao Chuan''s back view to the back of his head. Then, he returned home.


    "Dad, you''re back? Have you seen Auntie Qiao? " When Bo Anjin saw that the Shuren girl had returned, he stepped forward and hugged her thigh.


    He picked up Bo Anjin and held him in his arms. Looking at the empty house, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where are the rest of the people at home?"


    "Great-grandfather took them out." Bo Anjin blinked, his face was filled with joy, "Auntie Qiao accompanied me for an entire day today."


    "No wonder you called me out today. Do you want me to make room for your Auntie Qiao to accompany you?!" I can see through the facial expression of the thin Xiuran, making Bo Anjin a bit uncomfortable.


    His great-grandfather had said that Aunt Joe would be uncomfortable with his father, and he wanted Aunt Joe to come and stay with her, so his father wouldn''t be home for long.


    Dad could see her every day, but Auntie Qiao was different. It would be a long time before she could see her again.


    "Daddy, when can you marry Auntie Qiao back home? I want her to be my mother. " The conversation between Bo Anjin and Bo Xiuran always moves in this direction.


    "An An, you have to be obedient. There''s no need to worry about Auntie Qiao." Each time, the thin cultivator did not give an accurate answer. This time, he still did not intend to give an accurate answer.


    He didn''t even know what he was thinking.


    He knew that he didn''t want her to leave his life and have the desire to control her, but if he were to marry her, it would be somewhat impossible for him to do so.


    "Dad, I''m in a hurry." With a serious expression, he said, "Not long from now, there will be a family event in our class that requires Mom and Dad to come."


    "If you marry Auntie Qiao earlier, then I''ll have a mother."


    When the thin cultivator heard Bo Anjin''s words, he asked with a smile, "In the past, when I wasn''t with your Aunt Qiao, I was the one accompanying you. Why do you dislike your father now?"


    "I don''t dislike my father." "I just want Auntie Qiao to be my mother."


    Father was very good to him. He knew it, how could he avoid him?


    He just wanted his mother.


    As for making Qiao Chuan An An''s mother, there was no hurry. He could only wait until he had sorted out his thoughts.


    After coaxing Bo Anjin, he returned to his room.


    On the other side, Qiao Chunan who was returning home also felt a little irritated.


    During the week she was away on business, she could feel that he was a little interested in her, but when she returned to the country, their relationship immediately went back to normal.


    She wasn''t sure if that feeling was because she had feelings for him, but she was wrong to think that he had feelings for her as well.


    He had helped her a lot, but that had been based on the trouble he had caused her.


    Thinking about all the things that had happened back home, he felt a headache coming on.


    However, in the blink of an eye, he thought of his father who was still in prison. All these so-called emotional issues regarding him were all accumulated in his mind.


    No matter what, she would have to wait until she knocked down the Gu Clan.


    She wasn''t in the mood or the energy to think about such things right now.


    After putting all of this in his mind, Qiao Chuan switched on the computer again and prepared to take the Judicial Exam.


    He started working hard on Monday.


    For a week he felt as busy as a top.


    She couldn''t stop. Whenever she stopped, she would always think of the past.


    She was even a bit perfunctory when she talked to An Ran on the phone.


    She had a feeling that things were going on in a way she didn''t know.


    She was afraid that if she lost control, she would lose control.


    But there are some things you can''t control just because you want to.


    Just like how she was a bit perfunctory towards the phone call from Bo Anjin the previous night, the next night Bo Anjin came to her room to wait for her.


    Lin Hanxia also saw Bo Anjin and knew that this was the child that Qiao Chuan An had brought with him.


    Bo Anjin looked cute and cute. Lin Hanxia liked him very much, so she asked Bo Anjin to wait for Qiao Chun''an with her in the room.


    After four days, another weekend had passed.


    During the day, the Bo family came back to pick up Bo Anjin, but in the evening, Bo Anjin would return to the place where Qiao Chuan and Lin Hanyia lived.


    He even moved his own small bed over from home because he shared a bed with Qiao Chuan An without a place for him.


    Did Qiao Chuan ask Bo Anjin''s family if they were not worried about him?


    Only then did he find out that he was out on a business trip again.


    Shang Hua Entertainment was only a subsidiary of the Xi Xiuran, and he was not really in the company.


    As for Qiao Chuan''s recent work, it was related to some of the contracts between officials. Because the company was preparing to support the officials, many of the resources were slanted towards the officials. He would get the resources from the television stations, magazines, and other shows, so he would have to help arrange the contracts.


    This week, Guan Lan became very red.


    Because of her looks and temperament, she was exceptionally outstanding in the entertainment circle.


    It was within everyone''s expectations that such an outstanding person would become popular.


    If a star became famous, there would definitely be all sorts of business cooperation. Those partnerships were bound to have commercial contracts, and when it came to commercial contracts, Jojouan would be there.

 C48

    In any case, Qiao Chuan was extremely busy during this time.


    By Friday night, Bo Anjin was back.


    Let''s have Jojouan go out with him on the weekends.


    Because there was still an event at the end of the week, Qiao Chuan refused. Although he refused the request of Bo Anjin to take him out to play, he still promised to accompany him for the next weekend.


    On Saturday, Bo Anjin went back to his home unhappily as he watched Qiao Chuan An leave the house.


    When he arrived at the Bo house, he saw the old man and the old man waiting for him in the living room.


    "Father, great-grandfather." Bo Anjin put down his schoolbag and leaned towards the two of them.


    "Where have you been all this time?" In fact, Bo Xiuran knew that Bo Anjin had gone to Qiao Chunan''s home. Although he had tacitly agreed, he did not want to see the intimacy between Bo Anjin and Qiao Chunan to be too intimate.


    Regarding his contradictory thoughts, Xiu Lan was actually a bit irritated.


    "I''m going to Auntie Qiao''s house." After all, he had the impression that his father did not object to his contact with Auntie Qiao.


    "An An, go out and play. I have something to tell your father." Old Man Bo had some understanding of his grandson''s indifferent character.


    Bo Anjin glanced at the rune and then looked at the old man before obediently returning to his room.


    He hadn''t played with the toy Auntie Qiao bought for him last week. He had originally planned to let Auntie Qiao play with him this weekend, but Auntie Qiao did not come.


    "What the hell do you think?" When Bo Anjin left the living room, the old man knocked on his walking stick with a serious expression, "If you really have no interest in that kid, Qiao Chunan, then don''t do anything that makes others misunderstand."


    "If you really want to marry her back, then hurry up and chase after her. A good girl can''t just stand on the spot and wait for you!"


    "Grandfather, there are some things that you don''t know, don''t mess around!" There was a cold look on her face as she tried to suppress her anger, "I will never chase after her!"


    After saying this, he stood up and went back to his room.


    Old Man Bo looked at the back of Baoshu as he climbed the stairs, and shook his head. With his personality, there would be times in the future when he would be at a disadvantage!


    He had lived for so many years, had he not figured out the temperament of his grandson?


    If he really had no interest in her, would he tolerate her?


    When Xiuran returned to his room, he became even more agitated.


    But after a while, after organizing his emotions, he continued with his work.


    During this period of time, there was a lot of work to be done. After finishing the work in the morning, Shuiyan accompanied Bo Anjin to play games in the afternoon.


    After dinner, Bian Shuang went back to his room, while Bian Anjin ordered someone to take him to where Qiao Chunan was.


    After returning to his room, when he thought about playing games with Bo Anjin this afternoon, he couldn''t help talking about Auntie Qiao and felt a kind of unspeakable resistance in his heart.


    Opening up the photo under the counter, the gentle expression on Xiu Lan''s face instantly froze.


    It showed a young man leading a beautiful woman.


    The man''s facial features were similar to those of Baoshu, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes, while the woman''s eyes were filled with sadness when she looked at him.


    At the sight of the photo, he threw it back with a flick of his fingers.


    Qiao Chunan was the same as her mother. If it wasn''t for Chu Ling, her parents would have been in a car accident. If it wasn''t for Chu Ling, he wouldn''t have been without his parents ever since he was young!


    And now, Qiao Chuan An was trying to harm him again.


    Could someone who could sell their child be a good person?


    Thinking of these things, the darkness in Jian Chen''s eyes became more and more profound.


    There were some things that should be punished for.


    After coming to this conclusion, Bo Xiuran was ready to go to see Bo Anjin, but he was told to go to Qiao Chuan An''s place.


    The expression on the face of the thin cultivator started to become more and more unsightly.


    Old Man Bo couldn''t help but shake his head when he saw the thin cultivator leaving the room. He could tell that there was a thorn in the thin cultivator''s heart.


    Thinking about his own son, Old Master Bo roughly knew what was going on.


    Sigh, there were some things that as a grandfather, no matter what her grandfather said, she might not listen to him.


    That son of his daughter-in-law had really planted a bomb on him!


    Forget it, children will have their own children. An old man like him, who had already sunk half into the ground, couldn''t be bothered to care about those things.


    Xi Xiuran drove the car and quickly arrived at Qiao Chuan''s door.


    Knocking on the door, Qiao Chu An opened it and saw the thin one. He called out, "Mister Bo."


    "Are you safe?" "I came to pick him up," he said, his voice cold, his gaze on Jocelyn slightly appraising and disgusted. "I came to pick him up."


    "He''s here." "Anthea, your father is here to pick you up."


    Lin Han-xiao was not at home tonight, and there were only Bo An-jin and Qiao Chuan at home.


    "Dad, why are you here?" Bo Anjin wore a pair of slippers and pajamas. His smiling face was rosy and moist.


    It wasn''t easy for Auntie Lin to not be here today, so he could sleep with Auntie Qiao.


    "I''ll take you home." Seeing the actions of Bo Anjin, Xiuran frowned slightly.


    He had originally felt that he owed Bo Anjin and wanted him to interact more with his own mother. But now, in such a short period of time, he had such a close relationship with Qiao Chu An?


    It seemed that he had underestimated the Chu Clan''s mother and daughter''s bewitching abilities.


    "Dad, I want to stay here. I don''t want to go home!" Seeing that he was living with Qiao Chuan An, Bo Anjin increasingly didn''t want to go back home.


    The original big house was not as comfortable as Auntie Qiao''s small house.


    "No, you have to go back!" Bo Xiuran''s voice was cold and his expression was very serious. When he said this, he grabbed Bo Anjin and prepared to bring him downstairs.


    Seeing how his father didn''t understand him, Bo Anjin opened his mouth and started crying, "Dad, I don''t want to go home, I want to live with Auntie Qiao!"


    The first time he saw Bo Anjin cry, Qiao Chun An was unable to accept it. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his gaze fell on him with a sense of oppression. He could only suppress his shriveled voice, "Mr. Bo, leave An An here and I will take good care of him."


    "Father, I want to stay here." When Bo Anjin heard that Qiao Chuan wanted him to stay, he immediately howled, "I want to stay with Auntie Qiao!"


    "Sorry, An An has been bothering you for a long time. I''ll take him away now." He scooped up Bo Anjin and didn''t care if he was crying or not. After saying a few words to Qiao Chuan An, he went downstairs.


    Qiao Chunan looked at the back of Bo Xiushan and listened to the crying of Bo Anjin. He was at a loss of what to do.


    She felt that she had changed.


    Her attitude towards her was very distant, but within that estrangement was another emotion that she could not understand.


    Since he couldn''t distinguish the difference between them, he didn''t think too much about it and threw those useless thoughts to the back of his mind.

 C49

    He did not let the unpleasantness of life affect her work.


    He was still very serious about his work.


    During this period of time, she had been following Shangguan Lan''s team on legal matters, allowing her to be more proficient in the application of the law.


    However, since Qiao Chuan was comfortable, Su Ran was very unhappy.


    She did everything she could to deal with him, but her tricks were all blocked by some unknown person.


    Every time one of her tricks failed, her hatred for Jocelyn deepened.


    Gu Nan had gone abroad recently, but he was well aware of Su Ran''s methods. He was even secretly adding fuel to the fire.


    He had even dealt with some of the tails for Su Ran.


    Su Ran didn''t think very well, but he listened to him. He was Qiao Chuan''s best friend. Unlike Qiao Chuan An, Gu Nan always felt pressured when he was with her.


    He felt uncomfortable no matter what he did. He couldn''t get the appreciation of the Qiao family, nor could he get the admiration of Qiao Chuan An.


    City S''s number one young lady ¡­ Heh, in the end, she was still stepped on by Gu Nan.


    Gu Nan sneered coldly as he received the news from his underlings.


    Now, he could only be a legal advisor in an entertainment company.


    In the past, the young miss of the Qiao family would never do such a thing.


    But now he didn''t even want her to be the entertainment company''s legal adviser.


    Why was she still doing so well even now?


    Looking at the picture, Qiao Chunan smiled happily. Gu Nan was very annoyed. He really wanted to send Qiao Chunan to the 18 Hells of Hell and make her never recover.


    That way, he would be able to recover the resentment he had felt from her.


    Qiao Chunan didn''t know anything about Qiao Chunan''s thoughts. Even if Gu Nan did, it wouldn''t matter.


    Her feelings for Gu Nan and Su Ran had long since disappeared when they were still with the Qiao family.


    She only had hatred left towards them and wanted to return all the things that they had given to the Qiao family.


    Qiao Chun An was working very hard and didn''t know that Gu Nan had already returned home. He also didn''t know that Gu Nan had seen how she was and wanted to take action against her. He wanted to see how unlucky Gu Nan was.


    She also didn''t know that the thin Xiuran had acted as Su Ran''s scheme for her many times before.


    At noon, the team that Qiao Chunan was with had finished their work and was preparing to return back to the company after lunch.


    The restaurant that Qiao Chuan An entered was in the western part of the city, which coincidentally happened to be where Gu Nan''s company was.


    Gu Nan knew that Qiao Chunan had been doing business here all this time, so he intentionally bumped into Qiao Chunan.


    After finishing his meal, Qiao Zheng was waiting for the bus to take him back to the company. Gu Nan rolled down the window and looked at Qiao Chu An who was standing on the platform. He had a smile on his face and said in a clear voice, "Chu An, why are you here? "Let''s go, where are you going? I''ll walk you there."


    Looking at Qiao Chunan''s face, he couldn''t help but want to grab onto her, let alone care about her.


    Seeing that Qiao Chuan An was ignoring him, Gu Nan had a playful smile on his face, "Are you still angry over what happened five years ago? It''s not appropriate for the two of us, wouldn''t it be better to leave earlier? "


    Hearing Gu Nan talk about what happened five years ago, Qiao Chuan tightened his grip on his briefcase. However, he didn''t look at Gu Nan. Instead, he looked at when the bus would arrive.


    "As for the Qiao family, that is even more so not something that I can decide. "Be a good girl and get on the car. You didn''t know how to take the bus before, why didn''t your customer give you a ride?"


    Gu Nan didn''t like the coldness on Qiao Chunan''s face. It reminded him of those days when he felt disgusted.


    He knew that Su Ran had taken care of Qiao Chu An, but he also knew that someone was protecting her.


    He could not find out who that person was, but he could not think of anyone else who could protect him other than her.


    Just as Gu Nan and Qiao Chunan were talking nonsense, a person appeared on the road. He walked with an aggressive manner while wearing high heels.


    "Qiao Chuan, what are you trying to do?" Su Ran originally came to look for Gu Nan for a meal to help him clean up. He didn''t expect the company to see him drive off to find Qiao Chunan.


    Seeing this scene, she felt resentment in her heart.


    Gu Nan was taken away from Qiao Chunan by her. She was afraid that Gu Nan still had feelings for Qiao Chunan.


    She didn''t know much about what had happened at the company, but seeing that Gu Nan and Qiao Chunan had appeared at the first place, the police tape in her heart would be touched.


    "I also want to ask, what exactly do you want to do?" Around noon, some people left the office building in the western part of the city one after another. The three of them stood next to the bus stop, which was exceptionally eye-catching.


    When Qiao Chu An saw Su Ran, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.


    But she didn''t even want to look at Gu Nan.


    "Are you trying to seduce my husband?" Su Ran reached out her hand to slap Qiao Chunan. She had spent that period of time under Qiao Chunan''s shadow. Now, she wished that she could kill her and scrape off her face.


    The tip of his finger grazed Qiao Chuan''s cheek, but he avoided it and did not scratch his face.


    Gu Nan, who was sitting in the car, watched the situation unfold in an unpredictable direction. He immediately got out of the car and tried to pull Su Ran in.


    But at this moment, Su Ran did not want to get on the car at all. She wanted to let this face, which she had hated for so many years, wander in her mind and disappear forever.


    "Su Ran, what are you doing?" Gu Nan grabbed Su Ran''s hand, his expression turning ugly as he watched more and more people gather around them.


    "Gu Nan!" Are you still thinking about Jojouan? " Su Ran, who had been grabbed by Gu Nan, had a trace of anger flash through her eyes. She knew Gu Nan must have come here because he was interested in her.


    Qiao Chuan was once the first lady in S City. Very few people didn''t like her.


    If she hadn''t made Gu Nan fall in love with her, he would have definitely married her and come home.


    "You husband and wife, if you have any matters to attend to at home, please don''t bring the topic to me!" When Qiao Chuan heard Su Ran''s words, his face turned ugly.


    "Qiao Chuan, what are you pretending for!" "If you hadn''t seduced Gu Nan, would he have come to see you?" Su Ran struggled as he bared his fangs and brandished his claws, trying to hit Qiao Chuan.


    Hearing Su Ran''s words, Gu Nan felt very unhappy. He would like Qiao Chunan? It was too late for him to hate her!


    Su Ran was indeed stupid!


    Gu Nan was in a bit of a bad mood. He used some force to trap Su Ran''s hand. Su Ran felt pain and tried his best to shake him off.


    Gu Nan didn''t expect Su Ran to have so much strength. His hand loosened and Su Ran crashed into Qiao Chu An.


    Qiao Chunan was caught off guard and he was knocked to the ground by Su Ran. His forehead knocked against a chair on the bus platform and he fainted.


    When the surrounding people saw this, they immediately took out their phones to take a photo.


    "What are you taking pictures of!" Gu Nan knew that this kind of thing would definitely affect his company if it was posted online, preventing the onlookers from filming it. Gu Nan prepared to carry Qiao Chunan and have Su Ran bring him to the hospital.

 C50

    "You can''t leave, I''ve already called an ambulance. Who knows what you want to do by carrying this lady into the car?" Some of the onlookers might be indifferent, but there were also warm-hearted people.


    Gu Nan was blocked by the crowd, so he could only glare at Su Ran and wait for the ambulance to arrive.


    The ambulance soon arrived. When they carried Qiao Chunan onto the ambulance, Gu Nan and Su Ran also followed.


    Qiao Chuan fainted. Su Ran only realized then that even if she wanted to deal with Qiao Chuan, she couldn''t do it herself.


    After the hospital received Qiao Chuan An''s call, they made a call to a contact on his cell phone.


    The quickest contact on Qiao Chuan''s phone was Lin Hanxia, who immediately rushed over after receiving a call from the hospital.


    Not long after she had arrived, he woke up.


    There was another kind-hearted person who followed Qiao Chuan to the hospital. He was the one who stopped Gu Nan from sending Qiao Chun An to the hospital.


    Not long after they arrived at the hospital, Qiao Chuan woke up. After thanking the kind-hearted man, Lin Hanyue also arrived.


    "Chu An, what''s going on?" Lin Hanyi held Qiao Chunan''s hand, looking extremely worried. "How did you faint over there?"


    "This lady fainted after a dispute with another man and woman. Now that you''re here, I can leave." The kind-hearted man saw Lin Hanxia, told her about some of what had happened, and left.


    After Lin Hanxia saw off her kind-hearted man, she said with resentment, "Is it that bitch Su Ran?"


    At first, Qiao Chuan An and Lin Hanxia were enemies because of Su Ran, but later they got over the misunderstanding and became good friends. Right now, the two of them both had one person that they hated, Su Ran.


    "Yes." Qiao Chuan did not hide this fact and told him what had just happened.


    "I knew she wasn''t a good person. Gu Nan is also a trash. The two of them are perfect match." Lin Hanxiao knew about what had happened to Qiao Chuan. He was filled with anger when he mentioned them.


    "Alright, alright, don''t get angry with these people." Seeing Lin Hanxue angry at him, he felt warm in his heart. He held Lin Hanxue''s arm and whispered, "Sooner or later, I will make them pay for what they have done."


    Just as the two of them were talking about this, the door to the ward suddenly opened.


    "Yo, Lin Hanxiao, you''re here too!" Su Ran could not help but mock Lin Hanxue when she saw him: "Could it be that you can''t stay abroad anymore? Come to the Su Family. I can definitely give you a bite to eat! "


    Su Ran and Gu Nan stood at the door of the ward. Seeing that Qiao Chuan An had woken up, they finally felt relieved.


    It was not because he was worried about Qiao Chu An, but because if he did, it would affect his company.


    After all, this was happening in public.


    "Gu Nan, take care of your dog. If it comes out again and bites, I''ll beat it to death!" Hearing Su Ran''s words, Lin Han-xiao poured a cup of hot water and poured it directly over the two of them.


    "Get lost!" Just looking at you all is annoying! " Lin Hanxue didn''t hesitate to tell the truth. After pouring the water on the two of them, he chased them out.


    "You can leave. I will not pursue this matter." Qiao Chunan knew Gu Nan''s intentions. They had angered Lin Hanxia, so they didn''t want to blow the matter up. They wanted to use Lin Hanyi to make it impossible for her to sue them.


    Qiao Chuan did not plan to use this matter to his advantage.


    It was originally a small matter of security, so even if she were to report it, it wouldn''t have much of an impact. She wanted to take down the Gu Clan, but there was no point in making a small fuss like this.


    Gu Nan heard Qiao Chuan An''s words and immediately left the room with Su Ran.


    If he wasn''t worried about the reputation of his company, he wouldn''t even want to come to this hospital.


    Seeing Gu Nan''s actions, Lin Han Xiao was so angry that he wanted to chase after the two and beat them up.


    Previously, she knew Su Ran wasn''t a good person. However, at that time, Qiao Chunan and Su Ran were best friends. She prevented him from getting hurt, but he was still hurt by Su Ran.


    It really was a bitch! It was impossible to defend against!


    Looking at the two''s backs, Lin Hanxia was furious.


    Seeing this, Qiao Chao An held Lin Hanyue''s hand, calming her down.


    Not long after the two of them left the room, the doctor called over Qiao Chunan and Lin Hanyue.


    Qiao Chuan came in for a check. He was fine, but he was too tired. The doctor advised him to take care of his rest.


    Hearing the doctor''s words, Lin Hanxue''s face also became very ugly.


    "My young mistress, if you ignore your own body like this, once you collapse, the Gu family will still be fine. Maybe they''ll even be able to rise day by day." Lin Hanyue knew why Qiao Chunan was so desperate, so he used the topic she was most concerned about to persuade her.


    "I know." Qiao Chunan also knew that Lin Han Xiao was concerned about her and nodded seriously. "I''ll be careful to rest in the future."


    She had been very busy this past half a year. She didn''t dare to stop because she was afraid that the moment she stopped, she would think of what happened to Mrs Qiao five years ago.


    Her castle collapsed in that instant.


    What happened around her made her panic and helpless. The matter of the surrogate pregnancy later on made her feel even more proud.


    If not for the hatred in her heart supporting her, she probably wouldn''t be able to continue living.


    "Chu An, you have to relax. There''s still a long way to go." Lin Hanyi held Qiao Chuan An, patted her back and comforted her, "You still have me, I will help you too."


    Jothuan was her friend, and it was her duty.


    "I know." Qiao Chuan hugged Lin Hanxue and smiled. "If it wasn''t for you, I wouldn''t be living so easily overseas."


    The two of them walked out of the hospital.


    "Xiaoxiao, go home first. I''m going to the company now."


    At the door of the hospital, Qiao Chuan prepared to drive back to the company. Seeing this, Lin Hanxiao stopped him immediately. "Qiao Chuan, do you want your body or not?"


    "Are you alright if you go out everyday during this period of time? Hurry up and call for leave! "


    Qiao Chao An couldn''t resist Lin Hanyue''s domineering attitude and called him to ask for two days leave.


    When the two returned home, Lin Han-xiao said that he would boil some soup to nourish Qiao Chunan''s body before entering the kitchen.


    There weren''t many things in the kitchen, so Lin Hanyi pulled Qiao Chuan to a nearby supermarket.


    Inside the company, when the thin Shura saw that Jojouan was not here, he asked a question and found out that Jojouan had taken sick leave.


    Just as Qiao Chunan and Lin Hanyue were strolling around the supermarket, a phone call from the thin shaman came in.


    "Yes, thank you very much for your concern, Mr. Bo. "You should also pay attention to your body." Lin Hanxia accidentally overheard Qiao Chunan''s call.

 C51

    After the two of them finished buying things so they could go home, Lin Hannxiao asked about this matter.


    Qiao Chunan told Lin Han Xiao about what happened. Hearing what happened between the two, Lin Han Xiao couldn''t help but frown.


    After hearing it, Lin Hanxue felt that something was very wrong.


    It was as if the man''s actions had won his heart.


    This pursuit to attack the heart, made Lin Hanyue feel an indescribable chill in his heart.


    "Chu An, after hearing what you said, I feel that I am not a good person. Stay away from him." Lin Han Xiao told Qiao Chuan An his opinion, but Qiao Chun An didn''t believe him.


    Although she knew Lin Han Xiao was doing this for her own good, but she didn''t have any place to be tricked, so she didn''t take it seriously.


    After all, what kind of person was the thin one? What kind of person was she?


    She didn''t have to spend so much effort on deceiving him.


    "You''re such a silly girl!" Lin Hanxiao sighed and stopped trying to persuade her. She still had her back to him.


    Even if she was cheated, she could still help her find out the truth.


    Thinking this, Lin Hanxue ignored her and went into the kitchen to prepare some soup.


    Although Qiao Chuan didn''t take Lin Hanxue''s words seriously, she understood her friend''s concern for her.


    As the two of them ate and drank soup at night, Qiao Chuan felt that her standard of living had skyrocketed ever since Lin Hanyue came back.


    The next morning, Bo Anjin knew that she was sick and kept screaming at her to see her.


    "Auntie Qiao, I want to come look for you." Bo Anjin had been arguing about coming to see her.


    "An An, we just met two days ago. You have to stay at home."


    "No, no, I don''t want it, I''m just looking for you!"


    Thinking about what had happened that night, Jojouan didn''t dare to ask Bo Anjin to come back, so he had agreed to go by himself.


    "Then I''ll go over and find you. Don''t come over to find me."


    After receiving the answer that Qiao Chuan An had prepared, Bo Anjin did not continue to cause trouble.


    "What is it? "Are you going to work as a babysitter again?" Lin Hanyue watched the movements of Qiao Chuanan''s hand and frowned slightly. "This move is really powerful!"


    "Xiaoxiao, stop talking nonsense." "I like it."


    Looking at the happy expression on Qiao Chuanhan''s face, Lin Hanyue rolled his eyes and took out the breakfast from the kitchen. "Let''s go after breakfast."


    After breakfast, Qiao Chuan told Lin Hanyue and went to the Bo house.


    This time, the house was not empty like the last time. On the contrary, just like the first time she went there, the servants in the villa were doing their own things in an orderly manner.


    "Auntie Qiao, I heard you were sick. Are you feeling well?" This time, Bo Anjin did not pounce on Qiao Chuan. Instead, he carefully held his hand.


    Qiao Chunan patted her head and squatted down seriously. "Auntie isn''t sick, she''s just tired. She''ll be fine after a rest."


    Hearing Qiao Chunan''s words, Bo Anjin let out a breath and patted his chest. "That''s good. I thought I would never be able to see Auntie Qiao again."


    "What nonsense are you talking about?" Joachim stood up and took hold of Bo Anjin''s chubby little hand, and the two of them entered the villa.


    Old Man Bo was also there. When Qiao Chunan saw him, he felt like he was seeing a kind old man. She really liked talking to him.


    "Chu An, you''re here." Old Man Bo also liked Qiao Chunan. He was very similar to her student. The only thing that made him different was that his student''s personality was not as strong as Qiao Chunan''s.


    He knew a little about what happened in the Qiao family. He had not seen many people who could still live after the Qiao family was destroyed.


    It had always been from frugality to luxury, from extravagance to frugality.


    In the past, those who committed suicide when the company went bankrupt could not accept their situation of becoming poor again.


    The lives of the poor were too hard for them.


    "Hello Grandpa Bo." Qiao Chuan An smiled and sat down beside Old Man Bo.


    "By the way, how is your father?" He knew a little about the Qiao family, but he did not care about the details.


    After all, he had already handed over the matters of the company to Xi Xiuran, so there were many things that he could not interfere in.


    "My father is coming out." Now that Qiao Chun An was faced with this matter, his state of mind had become much calmer. He would not feel indignant about it, and the hatred on his face had been suppressed by her.


    She knew that Old Master Bo was only asking about her and did not look down on her.


    "When I was giving Qiao Zhen, Gu Yu, Ling, and my disappointing child lessons, I knew that there would always be some of them who would commit crimes. My teacher didn''t do well enough."


    Old Man Bo sighed with emotion. Back then, when he had committed economic crimes, those children had had a particularly passionate look in their eyes.


    At that time, he had stressed this point many times, but he hadn''t expected that there would still be people who managed to walk that path.


    "Your child?" The last time Qiao Chunan came, he had heard from Old Master Bo that her parents were both Old Master Bo''s students. However, at that time, Old Master Bo had not mentioned his children.


    "Well, they died in a car accident." Old Man Bo rubbed Bo Anjin''s head with a dejected look on his face. After all, even his parents couldn''t accept the pain of a white-haired man giving away a black-haired man.


    "I''m sorry, I don''t know." Qiao Chunan quickly apologized. Although she had not seen her parents for the past few times, she only thought that they were not living together.


    Didn''t know they were dead.


    "It''s fine. It''s been many years." Old Man Bo waved his hand, indicating that he no longer cared about this matter.


    Although Old Man Bo said so, Qiao Chuan An did not continue on the matter.


    Even though it had been many years in the past, when it was brought up, it was still Old Master Bo''s pain, and even more so the pain of this family.


    "An An''s grandfather and your parents are also classmates. They have a very good relationship. If you have any difficulties, just tell them directly. There''s no need to worry." The expression on Old Man Bo''s face softened slightly.


    Bo Anjin sat on the sofa and listened in on their conversation. When he saw that their expressions were not very good when they talked about their grandpa, he felt that he would never mention his grandma or grandpa ever again.


    That way everyone wouldn''t feel bad.


    Qiao Chunan and Old Man Bo chatted for a while. The old man was a bit tired, so he told Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin to go play together.


    This time, the two of them didn''t play with toys and instead went to the back garden to stroll around.


    Bo Anjin heard people say that rest is to see more green.


    "Auntie Qiao, do you still remember the eggplant I lived in last time?" Although it was a joke, the aubergines had already sprouted small purple flowers.


    Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, Qiao Chunan was quite interested as well. The two of them went to the flowerbed and started watching the eggplants.


    After a day of playing, and fearing that he might run into a thimble, Jojouan left at five o''clock and went home.


    However, thinking that it was very likely that it was because of his parents that Xiuran was so good to her, he felt a little complicated. She planned to ask him about it when she went to work tomorrow.

 C52

    That night, Qiao Chunan went back home and talked about what happened this afternoon with Lin Han Xiao. Lin Han Xiao''s mouth twitched, "Tomorrow you can go ask the Bian Shuyan. Anyway, I feel that he is good to you, it can''t be that simple."


    He decided to ask her about it tomorrow.


    She thought about it for a moment and felt that something was wrong.


    If it was really because of his parents, why didn''t he tell her?


    The next day, Joachim went to work at the company.


    He went to the office and asked the question.


    "Mr. Bo, are my parents classmates with your father?" The two of them talked about other issues, and it didn''t take long for Qiao Chuan An to ask this question.


    When the thin cultivator heard Qiao Chuanwen''s question, he looked directly at Qiao Chunan. Seeing that there was no expression of complicated hatred on her face, he heaved a sigh of relief and replied.


    "Yeah, they''re classmates." Shuang Xiu''s eyes were downcast, her fingers were placed on the desk, and her expression was as cold as usual.


    "Thank you for taking care of me, Mister Bo." Qiao Chao An heaved a sigh of relief. His kindness towards her was not due to some motive like what Lin Hanyi said. It was only due to the relationship between her and her parents.


    After coming to an understanding, the smile on Qiao Chu An''s face became much more sincere and he walked out of the office.


    The thin cultivator looked at Qiao Chuan An''s back and chuckled. A dim light flashed in his eyes. After a while, he continued working.


    After putting this matter aside, Qiao Chuan An began to work in peace.


    However, not long after, Qiao Zheng An received a call from Bo Anjin.


    "Auntie Qiao, I''m going to stay at your house." Bo Anjin''s voice twitched as he said, "I don''t want to see my father. I want to stay at your house!"


    "An An, what''s wrong?" Hearing Bo Anjin''s crying, Qiao Chun An''s heart skipped a beat. He stood up and saw the strange gazes from the surrounding people, then sat back down. "If there''s anything, just say it slowly. Your father must love you. You can''t be naughty."


    "NO!" I don''t like my father! " Bo Anjin hugged the phone and cried even louder, causing his heart to pinch involuntarily.


    "What''s wrong? Tell Auntie and see if Auntie can help you."


    "My dad doesn''t want me to find you anymore, and he doesn''t want me to see you either." The choking words of Bo Anjin was clearly heard by Qiao Chun An.


    Hearing this, Qiao Chun An''s face turned pale. The hand holding the phone became tighter and his fingers turned white.


    "I''m going out today and the driver won''t drive with me. Auntie Qiao, dad is so bad, I don''t like him anymore!"


    "An An, don''t worry. Your father loves you." "It just so happens that Auntie is very busy these days. Your dad wants me to have a good rest."


    "After I''m busy, Auntie Qiao will tell your father that we can meet again at that time." Qiao Chunan struggled to persuade her.


    At the same time, he was also dissatisfied with this move.


    But even if she was dissatisfied, she had no reason to say anything.


    After all, the child was his, and since he didn''t want her to see it, she couldn''t.


    After hanging up the phone, even though he was in a bad mood, it did not affect the efficiency of her work.


    She thought she knew why.


    From that night onwards, she had not liked the idea of Anthea making contact with her, probably because she was afraid that she would win over Anthea, so it would be very troublesome for his future wife.


    Having thought of this, he did not ask why he had done so.


    She did not have the position to ask Persephone any questions about Anthea.


    Moreover, she still had a lot of things that she hadn''t resolved yet, so she shouldn''t be thinking about them right now.


    Qiao Chun An worked hard, but on the other side, Su Ran and Gu Nan were in an argument.


    Ever since Su Ran knew that Gu Nan had gone to see Qiao Chunan the day before yesterday, he had been thinking about this matter.


    She was really afraid that Gu Nan would fall in love with Qiao Chuan again. If that happened, she wouldn''t be able to survive.


    As Qiao Chu An''s ex-best friend, she naturally knew how good Qiao Chuan An was. If she hadn''t used some tricks, how could Gu Nan have been with her.


    But after being with Gu Nan, she didn''t want to let go, and she couldn''t let go.


    The only thing she could do was send Gu Nan''s former fiancee, Qiao Chunan, into hell and make it so that she would never be able to stand up again.


    "Su Ran, how long are you going to keep arguing?" Gu Nan pushed Su Ran''s hand away and had an ugly expression on his face. Su Ran had been arguing with him ever since they returned from the hospital.


    After so many days of quarreling, Gu Nan was getting impatient.


    After all, how could he not know whether he liked Jojouan or not?


    It would be impossible to make him like Qiao Chuan for the rest of his life!


    "Gu Nan, you can''t be fond of Qiao Chuan, right? You can''t be fond of Qiao Chuan, right?" Gu Nan tossed Su Ran off the bed. She lay on her back and looked at the chandelier hanging on the ceiling absentmindedly. Her expression was fragile and her voice was a little hoarse.


    Gu Nan saw Su Ran''s expression and frowned. However, he still walked to Su Ran''s side and hugged her. He comforted her, "It can''t be, it can''t be. I can''t possibly like Qiao Chun An."


    "You lied to me! "You''ll definitely fall in love with Jojouan." Su Ran''s expression was somewhat sinister. At the same time, Gu Nan, who was holding Su Ran, had an extremely sinister expression on his face.


    "No, that won''t happen. You''re much better than Qiao Chuan. How could I abandon you and fall in love with her?" Gu Nan''s eyes flashed with a mysterious light. He gently patted Su Ran''s back and said with a bewitching voice, "If that day comes, it will definitely be Qiao Chun An''s fault."


    "Yes, it''s all Qiao Chuan An''s fault! It''s all Qiao Chu An''s fault! " Su Ran gritted his teeth in hatred at the mention of Qiao Chuan An.


    "You are much better than Qiao Chuan. If there is a mistake that you don''t like, then it must be Qiao Chu An''s fault."


    "Yes, it''s all Qiao Chuan An''s fault! It''s all Qiao Chu An''s fault! " Su Ran gradually calmed down and stopped bothering Gu Nan with the matter of him going to see Qiao Chun An the day before yesterday.


    After a moment of warmth, Gu Nan went to the study room, leaving Su Ran thinking furiously about how he should kill Qiao Chunan.


    When Gu Nan arrived at the study room, he didn''t immediately start working. Instead, he started to investigate Su Ran''s recent actions against Qiao Chunan.


    None of them had succeeded, and some of them were clearly impossible to escape from with Qiao Chuan''s current condition.


    The more he searched, the more he realized that there was someone protecting Qiao Chuan An from behind.


    The more he investigated, the more surprised he became. The one protecting Qiao Chuan An was actually the thin Xiu Nong.


    The thin elementalist was the dark horse of the business circle in the recent years. Even if their Gu family had annexed the Qiao family, they still did not dare to confront the thin elementalist directly.


    Knowing that he was one of the people behind Qiao Chuan, Gu Nan was so angry that he almost smashed the computer in front of him.

 C53

    With her protection, she had no way to deal with him.


    However, he could not stop him from hating Qiao Chuan.


    As for Su Ran, Su Ran''s methods in dealing with Qiao Chunan was just a small matter. Although Su Ran resented Qiao Chunan due to her enticement, he had no way of harming Qiao Chunan.


    Qiao Chuan had no idea that Gu Nan was trying his best to deal with her.


    She was still working very seriously. However, after completing a task, she would always be in a daze for a period of time.


    When he realized why he was in a daze, he smiled bitterly and slapped his own face.


    She really was somewhat indecisive!


    She could even abandon her own child, let alone her superior''s son.


    Suppressing the bitter taste in his mouth, Qiao Chuan forced himself to get busy.


    Only when she was busy would she be able to forget about all these things.


    Her child couldn''t even belong to her, much less someone else''s child.


    Busy, busy can forget everything.


    Just as Qiao Chunan was preparing to work overtime, Lin Hanyue called.


    Hearing that Qiao Chuan was going to work overtime, Lin Hanxue cursed, "If you dare to work overtime, I''ll dare to come and carry you back!"


    Hearing Lin Hanxiao''s loud voice, Qiao Chunan, who had been suppressing his tears for the whole day, burst into tears.


    She was very depressed. After working so hard for the past half year, hearing about Lin Hanyue''s relationship, she couldn''t help it any longer.


    Lin Hanxiao heard Qiao Chuan An''s crying and immediately rushed over.


    At this time, the people in the office had all left. It was also because of this that Qiao Chu An dared to cry.


    When he saw that she had not left, he was about to call to her when he stood in the doorway and saw the person squatting on his seat crying.


    "Xiaoxiao, I''m feeling a bit uncomfortable." Qiao Chuan''s voice was very soft as he sobbed. It was just like the way he used to beg for mercy.


    "Yes, I''ll wait for you." Qiao Chuan hung up the phone, squatted for a while, and then stood up again.


    He planned to go downstairs and wait for Lin Hanxue to come and pick her up.


    He stood up and looked towards the door. When he saw that there was no one there, he immediately took a step back.


    "Mr. Bo, you haven''t gotten off work yet?" There were still water droplets on Qiao Chunan''s eyelashes, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a forced smile.


    Looking at Qiao Chunan''s expression, Bo Xiushan felt a bit depressed. He couldn''t tell what exactly it was.


    The atmosphere between the two of them was a little stifling. Moments later, it was still Qiao Chuan who broke the pressure.


    "Mr. Bo, my friend is coming to pick me up, so I''ll be leaving first." Joachim, clutching the small bag on his desk, smiled at Tatiana and headed for the elevator.


    Baoshu did not move as he stood there, watching as Qiao Chunan''s back slowly disappeared from his sight. The corners of his mouth raised to form an arc, and he could not help but sneer.


    Where was he now?


    Qiao Chunan didn''t know what was on her mind. She was standing downstairs waiting for Lin Hanyue to come pick her up.


    Lin Hanxiao had his own car and had recently found a job. As the chief of the violin, he was quite famous.


    Qiao Chuan knew that Lin Hanxia''s fear of her was the reason why she and Lin Hanxia were squeezed into the same room.


    Not long after, Lin Hanyue arrived at the company building. In order to make Qiao Chuan feel better, Lin Hanxia brought him to the office.


    After Qiao Chuan''s mood improved, Lin Hanyue brought him to walk around the night market.


    The lively atmosphere of the night market would make people feel much better.


    Lin Hanyang went to park the car, while Qiao Chuan found a restaurant with a better environment.


    Qiao Chuan looked out the window at the myriad of lights. A trace of sadness flashed through his eyes, but it only lasted for a moment before he suppressed it.


    On the other side, just as Lin Hanxue was about to stop the car and look for Qiao Chunan, he bumped into Su Ran in the parking lot.


    The moment he saw Su Ran, Lin Hanxiao''s anger rose up.


    "What is it? Come alone tonight? The one at your house let you come out and make a scene? Is it because I don''t like you? " Don''t look at how elegant Lin Hanxiao was, he could choke people to death the moment he opened his mouth.


    "Lin Hanxia, you slut, what nonsense are you spouting?" Su Ran didn''t allow anyone to insult her relationship with Gu Nan at all. She couldn''t bear it any longer when she heard Lin Hanxia''s words.


    It was already a habit for Su Ran to make a move. He couldn''t bear it any longer and directly threw the bag in his hand towards Lin Hanxia.


    Lin Hanxiao couldn''t just stand there and wait for her to smash him, he extended his hand to block her hand. "Bitch, if you dare to attack again, I''ll kill you!"


    "Do it!" Let''s see whether you kill me first or I kill you right now! " Su Ran didn''t hesitate at all as he was grabbed by one of Lin Hanxue''s hands while the other scratched Lin Hanxue''s face.


    Lin Hanyi pushed Su Ran back as he said this. How could Su Ran listen to Lin Hanxue''s words? Su Ran cursed as he staggered and charged towards Lin Hanyi again.


    Lin Hanyi dodged to the side and Su Ran fell to the ground. His wrist was injured by the parking lot railing and blood was splattered out.


    "Murder, murder!" Su Ran looked at the blood on her wrist and screamed, "Lin Hanyue, if I die, I will definitely get revenge on you!"


    Although Lin Hanxiao hated Su Ran, he had never thought of killing her himself.


    She was a little flustered, then she remembered that he was a lawyer, so she gave him a call and asked him to come over. After hanging up, he received an emergency call from Joachim.


    Soon, he arrived at the parking lot.


    Seeing Su Ran leaning on the side of the car, the blood on his hand stopped flowing. He didn''t bleed too much. The wound only looked frightening.


    Seeing this scene, Qiao Chu An heaved a sigh of relief.


    Not long after, the ambulance arrived.


    Ye Zichen dragged the three to the hospital.


    At the beginning, the doctor was a bit confused when he saw this scene. There was no serious problem, he just called for an ambulance.


    But they did, and the doctor took them to the hospital.


    As expected, after finishing the inspection, there wasn''t much of a problem.


    "What do you mean nothing big? I''m hurt here! You must compensate me! " When Su Ran heard the doctor''s words, he immediately retorted with a furious expression, "If you don''t compensate me, I''ll sue you!"


    "Then go and report it!" Qiao Chuan who returned after paying Su Ran retorted, "With your wound, you go and do an assessment first. If you go too late, your wound will be healed!"


    Originally, there were still some serious wounds. However, after washing off the layer of blood on the outside and being wrapped in gauze, it was obvious that it wasn''t serious at all.


    The doctor shook his head at the noise and told them to go out and solve the problem.


    "Anyway, this matter can''t be resolved peacefully!" Su Ran held his wrist as he looked at Lin Hanyue with hatred. He turned to Qiao Chunan with a pleased expression, "If you, Qiao Chunan, are willing to kneel down and apologize to me, I''ll let you off. I won''t sue you!"

 C54

    "You want me to compensate you? That''s impossible, I''m just defending myself!" With a friend who was a lawyer, she had to be clearer about the basics of the law.


    As for getting Qiao Chuan to kneel down and beg her, that was even more impossible!


    While the two of them were arguing, Qiao Chuan An''s phone rang.


    Looking at the phone, Qiao Chuan An pursed his lips. He walked to the side and picked up the call, "Hello, Mr. Bo."


    Hearing the mention of the document he had sent him yesterday, Joachim rubbed his brow. "Can I give you that document tomorrow morning?" I can''t leave now. "


    He had no idea how long it would take. Her files were all on the computer, and she obviously didn''t have the time to do that.


    "Me? I''m in the hospital right now. " After all, she really didn''t have time to check the document.


    It had only been an hour or so since he got off work, but when he heard that Qiao Chuan An had entered the hospital again, he frowned slightly.


    However, hearing that it wasn''t her that went to the hospital, but her friend''s conflict, she felt relieved.


    "Wait a moment, I''ll be right over."


    Hearing the call end up on the other end of the line, Qiao Chuan pursed his lips. His expression was complicated, but thinking about his work, he suppressed the waves in his heart.


    After a while, the thin one arrived at the hospital.


    At this time, Lin Hanxue and Su Ran were still arguing.


    Even though Qiao Chun An had come up with all sorts of excuses, Su Ran was still unwilling to give up.


    Bian Shuang stood to the side and waited for a while, after clarifying the situation, she slowly opened her mouth.


    His expression was aloof and reserved, and his words carried a hint of coldness.


    "Madam Gu, I already know about this matter. Even if you want to report it, you won''t have any chance of winning. On the contrary, it might bring trouble to the Gu Clan and the Su Clan."


    With just a few words, he had suppressed Su Ran.


    Especially when it came to the Gu Clan and the Su Clan.


    Even though Su Ran did not know the name of the thin elementalist in the business circles, he more or less knew a little about him after attending many gatherings.


    Lin Hanxiao looked at the thin Xiuran, his eyes sizing him up. Even though this time, he had helped her, but her opinion of him still couldn''t change.


    "Xiaoxiao, this is Mister Bo." Qiao Chunan knew that Lin Han Xiao had a problem with Baoshu, but he also knew that she wouldn''t say anything on his account. "Mr. Bo, this is my friend, Lin Han Xiao."


    "Hello, Mr. Bo." After Lin Hanxia said goodbye to the Elementary Scholar, she turned her gaze back to Su Ran.


    Su Ran felt weak in the eyes of the thin Xiuran. He knew that he wouldn''t be able to get away with it today, so he didn''t continue pestering her. He called Gu Nan over to pick her up before turning around and leaving.


    However, as he walked, he kept cursing in his heart that Qiao Chunan was a bitch. No matter what, someone would always protect her! The jealousy in the corner of his eyes was about to spill out.


    When they arrived at the hospital and saw Gu Nan, Su Ran told Gu Nan about it in a wronged manner. Gu Nan listened to her and didn''t agree to Su Ran helping her vent her anger.


    After all, if he were to go up against Xi Qiulin himself, there was nothing he could do.


    Who knew if there was a chance that the thin elementalist would find an opportunity to deal with the Gu family. This kind of thing where he was so angry for a woman wasn''t suitable for him.


    Gu Nan had no choice but to comfort Su Ran and successfully transfer the hatred onto Qiao Chun An.


    "Su Ran, this is Qiao Chun An''s fault. Qiao Chun An must have thought that he couldn''t deal with you, so he called him over."


    "Yes, it is Qiao Chuan An''s fault! "Obviously, I was going to sue that bitch Lin Hanxue in court, but Qiao Chun An stopped me and even called her his lover!"


    When Su Ran said these words, the resentment in his eyes was very obvious. But at the same time, he was scheming to mention that Qiao Chunan had other men in front of Gu Nan.


    If it hadn''t been for Jojouan, she wouldn''t have been in the hospital, and she wouldn''t have been threatened.


    Just as Gu Nan had hoped, Su Ran transferred the hatred onto Qiao Chunan. At the same time, he understood the meaning behind Su Ran''s words. In order to make Su Ran hate Qiao Chunan even more, his words were filled with praise for Yu Lan.


    "The company is very big. Once I completely take over the Gu family, I definitely won''t let them get away with it."


    As for his inability to help Su Ran, he did not discover anything.


    What happened here Qiao Chuan did not know, she was now preparing to invite Lin Hanyue to dinner.


    Although nothing would have happened without him today, since the thin Shura had personally come to help them, it was impossible for them to pretend that nothing had happened.


    Lin Han Xiao was very clear about this and didn''t ignore this matter because he didn''t like the tricks Xi Lan used on Qiao Chuan.


    He didn''t seem to notice their invitation and took them to the restaurant they had planned to go to tonight.


    "Mr. Bo, thank you very much for your help. I heard from her several times that you''re the leader of this department." The three of them went to the dining room and ordered their dishes. After that, Lin Hanxia used tea in place of wine to express her gratitude.


    "No need, Miss Qiao is an employee of my company. When there is trouble among the employees, as a leader, I will naturally help."


    A dim light flashed in Xiuran''s eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, neither admitting nor denying what Lin Hanxiao had said, showing a great deal of his bearing.


    "Is that so?" Lin Hanyi pursed his lips but didn''t say anything else on this topic.


    Was there a family whose leader would help a legal staff member who had just returned to their country and didn''t even have a judicial certificate? Are you kidding me?


    As for his ability to work, he believed that there was no lack of talented people in this world.


    If he had no other ideas, she would kick his head off like a ball!


    When Qiao Chunan talked to Lin Hanyue, he was obviously a bit nervous, but seeing that Lin Hanyue didn''t mention what she had analyzed with her last time, he calmed down.


    "Come on, Chu An, eat more. If you''re not happy, put it aside. When you''re done having fun, you won''t feel unhappy when you think about it again!" Lin Hanxia chatted a bit with Baoshu, and she knew that she was no match for him, not to mention her silly girl.


    But she would try to give her a way out.


    Qiao Chuanan also knew that Lin Han Xiao was really good to him. He wouldn''t let go even after Lin Han Xiao gave her the food, and they even clinked cups from time to time.


    The thin cultivator sat at the side, watching the two happily eating. His face was somewhat unsightly, the smile that was originally on his face had somewhat disappeared.


    Especially when he saw Qiao Chuan obediently leaning on Lin Hanyue''s shoulder, his eyes were as black as ink.


    He realized that he had underestimated his desire to control Qiao Chuan. Not only men, but also women. He did not want her to rely too much on herself!

 C55

    After the three of them finished their meal, Lin Han-xiao brought Qiao Chuan An to his car.


    As for the suggestion to send the two of them back, it was denied by Lin Hanxiao directly.


    "Chu An, I really feel like I''m bathing in your water." Lin Hanxue started the engine, looked at the person in the rearview mirror and said to Qiao Chuan, "Just now, his eyes were all around you at the table."


    Even though he wasn''t looking directly at Qiao Chuan An, his gaze was still fixed on Qiao Chu An.


    Qiao Chuan also felt that he had been stripped naked. However, he was afraid that if he said it out loud, it would cause others to think that he was being sentimental.


    Who is she, after all, and who is she?


    Plus, she didn''t have any other friends in the company, so there was no way to tell anyone else.


    Girls like to talk about their feelings with their friends.


    "I sometimes have the illusion that Mr. Bo might like me." His eyes fell on the rearview mirror, which was covered with long legs and a thin, straight body.


    After taking a glance, he immediately retracted his gaze.


    "Mr. Bo, we will be leaving first." After reversing the car in Lin Hanxue Xiao, he got out of the car and greeted the mini shaman.


    Joachim waved back.


    The car drove slowly forward. The wind outside the window hit Qiao Chunan''s face, waking her up a little.


    "Xiaoxiao, you''re absolutely right. No matter if it''s because he just wants to seduce me or for some other reason, I don''t have the qualifications to play this sort of game with him."


    "If Mrs Qiao hadn''t fallen, you could still play with her, but now you have to be busy dealing with Mrs Gu and Mrs Qiao. If you were careless, you would lose."


    "You can think about it when you send them to prison," Lin Hanxiao said honestly.


    The two of them were very clear about each other''s family situation.


    Qiao Chu An nodded, he had buried everything deep within his heart.


    On the other side, Gu Nan was about to leave when he was stopped by Su Ran.


    "Gu Nan, I was threatened by the thin elementalist today. Your wife, the thin elementalist!" Su Ran''s originally relaxed state of mind exploded upon seeing the information regarding Qiao Chuan within the room.


    No matter what time, Jojouan would always be protected.


    She was jealous of him, mad with jealousy.


    Jealous that she had even stolen his fianc¨¦.


    So what if Joachim was leaving? Where she didn''t know, her fianc¨¦ was in her bed.


    At the back, Mrs. Qiao collapsed.


    Her mood was finally better.


    However, in the short span of five years, that feeling of jealousy had once again swept through him.


    "What the hell are you doing?" Gu Nan flung Su Ran''s hand away and said impatiently, "Is the GM Group something I can deal with now?"


    "What''s more, are you sure that Qiao Chunan is related to Bo Xiuniang?" Gu Nan squatted down, anger glinting in his eyes, "Didn''t you say something that provoked the thin elementalist?"


    "How could it be that I provoked the thin elementalist? The thin elementalist clearly came to stand up for Qiao Chunan!" Su Ran''s heart burned with jealousy as he thought of the outstanding man by Qiao Chuan''s side.


    "It''s all because you''re useless! If it wasn''t for you, I wouldn''t be this angry! " Su Ran was slightly infuriated.


    Gu Nan''s face turned black when he heard Su Ran''s words.


    He hated it when people compared him to Baishuong. He hated it when people looked down on her!


    "Yes, it''s all my fault. I shouldn''t have been Qiao Chuan''s former fianc¨¦!"


    Su Ran saw that Gu Nan was angry, and his heart was in turmoil. He grabbed his hair and murmured, "It''s not your fault, nor is it your fault. It''s all Qiao Chun An''s fault."


    Gu Nan twitched his mouth when he heard Su Ran''s words. He sat next to Su Ran and caressed her long hair. He said slowly in his ear, "It''s all Qiao Chun An''s fault."


    "Yes!" It''s all Qiao Chu An''s fault! "


    As Su Ran spoke, he fell asleep.


    Gu Nan took off his coat and headed to the study room, a little irritated by what he saw.


    She really cared about what Su Ran had said just now.


    Qiao Chun An didn''t know about what had happened between Su Ran and Gu Nan, but if he did, he would clap and cheer.


    Qiao Chunan and Lin Hanyue went home. After washing up, they began to talk on the bed.


    They talked about what happened during the day at work.


    As for why Qiao Chunan cried, Lin Hanyue didn''t ask.


    A friend didn''t necessarily have to think of everything that was buried deep in the heart of the enemy.


    To be friends, one had to master a certain level of mastery.


    Better, they had a good grasp of this.


    On the second day, he threw away his feelings of weakness and began to work seriously.


    "Chu An, bring this information to the CEO." As usual, Chou An asked Qiao Chuan to hand over the documents.


    "Brother An, go by yourself, I''m going on a business trip." Qiao Chunan was reducing the time he had to meet with Xi Shuyan. Some of the work that he had to do in person had been given to Zhou An.


    She was now mainly on business with Guan Guan Guan Lan.


    Coincidentally, there were a lot of announcements made by Guan Lan during this period, so she needed a legal adviser to accompany her.


    When Guan Lan''s manager applied to the company, Qiao Chun An directly received it.


    "Alright then, I''ll send you off." Zhou An shrugged his shoulders. He had no choice but to deliver the documents.


    He had noticed that the CEO might be interested in Qiao Chuan and decided to leave the matter to him.


    Now that Joachim didn''t want to, he had to do it himself.


    After all, he was a lawyer, not a matchmaker.


    Qiao Chunan had been out for a week, and Zhou An was in charge of all the work.


    How could he not sense that he was avoiding him?


    At most, it would reduce the time they spent with him.


    The people around him had noticed this, but none of them were able to help him change his mind.


    On Monday morning, Bo Xiuran watched helplessly as he ignored his son for days.


    "An An, I''ll take you to play with Auntie Qiao today, okay?"


    It had been a week since he last saw that woman.


    "No, Auntie Qiao knows that you don''t want her to see me. She said that she won''t see me for a while." The thin cultivator pursed his lips, feeling a little unhappy.


    It''s been a long time since he saw Auntie Qiao


    "Did you tell her that I forbid you to meet?" Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, the corner of Bi Xiuran''s mouth twitched. That day was clearly an infuriation. How could this child take it so seriously?


    You even told Qiao Chuan An?


    No wonder she wore a mask even when she smiled at him after that.


    "Then do you want to see your Auntie Qiao?" "If you want to see me, I''ll take you to the company."

 C56

    Bo Anjin stood up and quickly put on his clothes, "I want to see Auntie Qiao."


    On one side the father and son packed their bags and drove to the office, while on the other side, Jojouan was already at the office.


    Monday morning is the usual time to decide who is going on the sidelines.


    It had been almost all Qiao Chuan''s business trip last week, and this week the HR department was planning to send someone else.


    While Qiao Chunan was discussing this with the manager of the HR department, Bo Xiuniang and Bo Anjin arrived at the company.


    As he walked into the president''s office, he did not see Qiao Chuan who was sitting in the office.


    After thinking for a moment, he knew where she had gone to.


    "Hello? Mr. Bo, is there something you need? " He was about to talk to the head of the personnel department when a call came through.


    "Is Anthea coming?" Qiao Chun An''s eyelashes fluttered. She had not seen An An for a long time and missed that child.


    But she didn''t want to see the Shura.


    The pressure on her was too great.


    Especially after Lin Hanyue had helped her to break the possibility of a relationship between them, it made it even more difficult for her to face the emaciated Siren.


    Still, the thought of seeing Anthea overcame the fear of the thin shaman.


    "Director, the CEO has something to take care of. I can''t do this business trip for the time being." The head of the HR department said something and headed for the CEO''s office.


    The supervisor looked at Qiao Chuan''s back and shook his head.


    I really don''t know anyone who wants to travel every day these days.


    The Ministry of Justice usually has a lot of free time, traveling is a very busy task.


    The supervisor did not understand or care about Qiao Chuan An''s thoughts.


    At this moment, standing outside the CEO''s office, Qiao Chun An was actually feeling nervous.


    However, in the end, he still knocked on the door, and only entered after hearing an answer from the inside.


    "Auntie Qiao, I missed you so much!" When Bo Anjin saw Qiao Chuan, he immediately ran down from the sofa and hugged Qiao Chuan''s knees.


    Qiao Chunan picked up Bo Anjin and sat him down beside the sofa. While putting on his shoes, he scolded him in a low voice, "Remember to wear your shoes from now on. Don''t be so restless."


    The thin one laughed when she saw that he had forgotten about her.


    It seemed like this child was really the best method he could use to restrain her.


    For the past few days in a row, Xi Qiulin brought Bo Anjin to work. The people who had been accompanying him all brought their documents into the CEO''s office to deal with them.


    It was only after Jojouan had promised to visit Bo Anjin after work that he explained the days of working with him in the CEO''s office.


    For some time after that, while at work, Qiao Chunan still hid from the meniscus, but when he went to see it, he would always run into it.


    His words were becoming more and more unacceptable to Qiao Chuan An.


    Just as she was about to ask him not to go to the Bo family, he said he would be away on a business trip and asked her to spend more time with him.


    And in the days that Qiao Chuan came to the Bo family, the old man often played with them.


    He could see that the thin elementalist was chasing after Qiao Chuan An, but the way he was chasing was very awkward. He was standing in a position where he could immediately retreat to.


    This didn''t seem like she was chasing after her beloved person at all.


    On the contrary, it was like teasing a kitten and a dog.


    For the past few days, the old man had been watching the empress''s movements with his brows knitted together. Sometimes, he would interrupt the emaciated empress dowager when they were intentionally creating an ambiguous atmosphere.


    Sometimes she would stab the stick when she wanted to.


    Grandpa Bo''s actions made Qiao Chuan an even less uncomfortable feeling towards the suppression created by the Bian Shuyi.


    On Tuesday, Sheehan went on a business trip.


    After work, Qiao Chuan arrived at the Bo family''s mansion with ease.


    Lin Hanxia even teased Qiao Chuan on how he had become the babysitter of the Bo family.


    Hearing this mockery, Qiao Chu An could only smile.


    She really did like An An. When she was together with An An, she felt that her heart, which had previously been filled with hostility, had calmed down.


    A child is indeed an angel.


    After playing games with Bo Anjin and chatting with the old man for a while, Qiao Chuan went home.


    Two days passed just like that.


    On Friday, while George was working hard at the company, his cell phone rang.


    Not many people knew her number. Looking at the unfamiliar number on the phone, he thought for a moment before answering.


    "Hello, hello." Qiao Chunan picked up the phone and heard Bo Anjin''s voice.


    "Auntie Qiao, hurry up and come over. My great-grandfather has been infuriated by the bad guys. Hurry and come over, I still need to call my father."


    Just as Bo Anjin was about to hang up, Qiao Chuan asked, "Which hospital? I''ll be right over! "


    Qiao Chunan didn''t know who the bad guy Bo Anjin was, but the fact that old man Bo fell was clearly expressed.


    After Qiao Chu An applied for leave, he immediately stopped a car outside the office.


    Not long after he got in the car, a call from the thin Shura came in.


    Looking at the phone number, Qiao Chu An exhaled and picked it up.


    His voice sounded urgent, so much so that Qiao Chunan could hear the sound of wind. "Qiao Chunan, help me take care of my grandpa and An Ran."


    "Yes, Mr. Bo. Don''t worry, I''m on my way." Qiao Chu An replied.


    "I''ll be back soon. If anyone comes to cause trouble, don''t come out. I''ve already called the bodyguards over." The thin cultivator methodically arranged the follow-up matters.


    Listening to the same tone as before, Qiao Chunan could even imagine the expression on the face of the thin cultivator. It must be the expression of a calm and composed person who was pointing out rivers and mountains.


    No, there should still be some anxiety.


    It was just like the somewhat anxious shout she had heard when she had picked up the phone.


    Half an hour later, George arrived at the hospital.


    After getting clear of the ward, Qiao Chunan ran at top speed on his high heels. After 15 minutes, he finally appeared outside the emergency room.


    A group of men in black suits were standing outside the emergency room. A middle-aged man with slightly white hair and an imposing manner was sitting on the seat beside the room. A relatively young man with fluttering eyes was sitting beside him.


    Bo Anjin was quietly staying in a corner.


    However, the moment he saw Qiao Chuan, his eyes lit up.


    "Auntie Qiao, it''s precisely those bad guys that angered great-grandfather to the point that he arrived." Bo Anjin stood up and ran over to hold Qiao Chunan''s hand. His expression was tense as he looked at the two people sitting beside him. His childish voice expressed his resentment.


    The place where Qiao Chuan worked was a subsidiary of GM. He did not know the other members of the Bo family.


    Thus, he didn''t even recognize that the one sitting on the chair was the Eldest Uncle, Bo Xiuhao, as well as his son, Bo Xiuhao.


    "Little bastard, what are you saying?" When Bo Xiuhao had said that they were bad people, he had been the young man with the erratic eyes. He had stood up and pointed at Bo Anjin as he scolded, "You really are a bastard!"

 C57

    "What did you say to the little bastard?" The elder uncle did not stop his son, but scolded him as well.


    "Every family is a bastard, why are you saying so much? "Go to the doctor and see if the old man is all right!" When the Eldest Uncle saw that the lights in the operation room had been extinguished, he immediately got Bo Xiuhao to go up and ask.


    As soon as the doctor came out, he went up to him.


    "Doctor, is the old man all right?"


    "Doctor, is that old man conscious?"


    "The patient is fine, but you must not anger him again. Now the patient needs rest, so you should lower your voice when you see the patient. "


    The doctor looked at the family members outside of the door and did not stay any longer. After he finished speaking, he quickly walked away.


    This family is seen every year.


    "Let''s go in and see the old man. You guys wait outside!" As he said this, he brought his father into the ward.


    After the surgery last night, the doctor transferred the old man to the VIP ward.


    "Stop them!" Qiao Chu An ordered the surrounding people in black suits to stop Bo Xiuhao''s group.


    Old Master Bo had just finished his surgery, he definitely couldn''t let them disturb him.


    Since Xiuran had said that he would leave this matter to her, she could not allow them to disturb the old man.


    "Get out of my way!" When Bo Xiuhao saw the group of bull-like bodyguards surrounding him, his face turned extremely ugly, "Your wages were set up by the Bo Family, not by this woman!"


    "Scram!" If you don''t scram, then just wait for your dismissal! " He couldn''t control his facial expression and had even made his move.


    On the other hand, although the Eldest Uncle had an ugly expression on his face, he didn''t reveal it like he did to Bo Xiuhao.


    "Lady, I don''t know what relationship you have with the thin elementalist. You must know that the thin elementalist will not be the GM''s CEO very soon. If you follow him now, it will definitely sink."


    His uncle could tell that these bodyguards all listened to Qiao Chuan An''s orders. He knew that once he moved them, they would be able to meet the old man.


    The old man was not in a good mood right now. He must have been angry because he was refused to give his all to Bo Xiuhao.


    "Sir, may I ask who you are?" Joachim could have guessed a little about their relationship with the Shuriken, but he wasn''t sure.


    "I''m his uncle, that''s not right. I''m the only son of that old man!" When Bo Xiuran''s uncle said this, he had a particularly proud look on his face, "You said that I am the only bloodline of the Bo family, shouldn''t I inherit it?"


    Hearing this, Qiao Chu An finally knew the identity of the person in front of him.


    However, the more he knew, the more he despised her.


    Crow also knew that this man had angered the old man into the hospital for the sake of his fortune.


    Were birds really dying for money?


    He didn''t know that the more he did this, the further away he would push Old Master Bo?


    He was not in the mood to pay any attention to what Uncle Shuren had said. She would not give in.


    "Sir, the company has been led away by the CEO very well. Besides, is the CEO''s bloodline really that important?" Qiao Chuan tried to stabilize the two of them.


    No matter what, these two people were still the grandson of Old Master Bo. As an outsider, it was impossible for her to truly make a move against them.


    Otherwise, it would definitely be her fault.


    "Scram!" The Bo Family can only be mine, it can''t be handed over to the Mentor! " After hearing Qiao Chuan An''s words, Bo Xiuhao was unable to control the anger in his heart. He hated others for saying he was inferior to Bo Xiuran!


    "What nonsense are you talking about!?" "How can the Bo Family''s business be handed over to outsiders!?" His uncle immediately called for someone to come over. He did not believe that he would not be able to get his hands on the shares today!


    "Only if the president is the grandchild of the old man will the old man have the power to decide who exactly the Bo family is going to be handed over to!" She hated to talk to people who had no sense of the law at all.


    Regardless of whether or not the father was the biological one, as long as the father had a will, regardless of whether or not the father was the biological one, the Bo family would eventually belong to him.


    "I just know that my dad has the power to make decisions, hurry up and get out of my way!" While he couldn''t deal with the bodyguards, he could easily capture a woman.


    "What are you doing?" When Bo Xiuhao grabbed Qiao Chuan, Bo Anjin immediately stepped forward and beat him. "You bad guy, let go of Auntie Qiao!"


    "An An, get out of the way." Qiao Chuan lowered his head to comfort Bo Anjin, then looked up at Bo Xiuhao, "Sir, you violated my right to personal freedom, you''d better let go immediately. Otherwise, if you don''t get your hands on the Bo family''s company, you will definitely be invited into the police station."


    Qiao Chunan''s words were somewhat exaggerated, but it was enough for the weak cultivator.


    The reason why he and his father had angered Old Master Bo into going to the hospital was simply because they wanted to obtain the Bo family''s company.


    "Scram!" However, he kicked Bo Anjin to the side and cursed, "Your dad is a bastard, and you''re also a little bastard."


    Bo Anjin looked at Bo Xiuhao with a shocked expression on his face.


    A bastard?


    Was it because he didn''t have a mother?


    Seeing Bo Xiuhao not only scold Bo Anjin, but also kick him, immediately letting the bodyguards control those two.


    After a while, Uncle Bo Xiuran''s men also came.


    There was a group of people standing in the corridor to the hospital, which scared them so much that they didn''t dare to come in.


    "Stop them for me, it''s impossible not to see the old man today!" When Bo Xiuhao saw the people from his side, he immediately told them to block the other group of bodyguards while he headed towards the ward.


    When Joachim saw this, he immediately gave chase.


    Taking a shortcut, he arrived outside the ward before Bo Xiuhao and the others.


    The sound isolation effect of VIP ward was quite good.


    Jojouan was blocking the way to the ward.


    Not long after, when the two of them arrived, Bo Anjin also followed them.


    "Get out of the way!" Please don''t force me to make a move! " When he saw Qiao Chunan blocking the door, his face turned ugly, "Why did you block our way?"


    "The person inside is my grandfather, who do you think you are?"


    After being previously intimidated by Bo Xiuhao, at this time, under the instructions of his father, he was ready to make his move.


    With the Bo family, would he still be afraid that she would sue him?


    "If you guys want to go in, I''ll anger great-grandfather. My dad will show you when he comes back." Bo Anjin extended his arms in front of Bo Anjin, turned his head and said to Qiao Chunan, "Auntie Qiao, I will protect you!"


    "The bad guys will definitely be defeated." There was a serious look on Bo Anjin''s face and he was not afraid at all.


    "What are you still standing there for? A little bastard scared you? Why are you so useless! " The Eldest Uncle was panting for breath at the side. Seeing that Bo Xiuhao had yet to throw him away, his face became somewhat unsightly.


    Just as Bo Xiuhao was about to make his move, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the corridor.


    Bo Anjin looked towards the direction of the voice. When he saw the girl, he immediately turned to Qiao Chu An and said, "Auntie Qiao, my father is coming over!"

 C58

    When Qiao Chu An saw this, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.


    If she were to really fight against Bo Xiuhao, she definitely wouldn''t be able to beat him.


    The thin cultivator walked in the wind and soon arrived outside the ward.


    A ten-thousand-year cold expression covered his aloof and aloof face. His gaze was obviously cold as he looked at his uncle and himself. He then turned his gaze towards the two who were guarding outside the door. His eyes were filled with warmth.


    "Uncle, Bo Xiuhao, grandpa is now in the hospital, are you really going to break all decorum?" The thin, cold voice that was mixed with the cold made them feel even colder.


    "Don''t call me uncle, you''re not a descendant of our Bo family!"


    The Eldest Uncle saw that the Eldest Uncle had come and his face immediately darkened, but he didn''t budge an inch towards his request, "Hand over all the authority in your hands to Xiu Hao, and I will no longer disturb my father."


    "Do you think that''s possible?" "Do you think I would hand the company over to you, a tax evasion, with a shitty debt and a son who misappropriated enough public funds?"


    "Oh, right, and those fights you used money to settle." He took out several documents from his briefcase and threw them in front of his face, "If you can use money to deal with them, do you think it''s possible for me to use money to get them to sue you?"


    "These are all things that you''ve truly committed."


    As the thin cultivator took out this information, the thin cultivator''s face unconsciously twitched. His eyes flickered as he turned around, intending to escape.


    "What are you talking about? How could my son commit such a crime, this is a false accusation! " It was clear that the eldest uncle did not believe her words, and he scolded her loudly.


    As he turned his head to say something to Bo Xiuhao, he saw that he had picked up something from the ground, and both of his hands were trembling.


    Seeing this expression, there was nothing else that he couldn''t understand.


    His son must have really committed a crime!


    Knowing this, the face of the Eldest Uncle became somewhat gloomy, but he was not too worried.


    After all, he was a descendant of the Bo family, so his father couldn''t possibly ignore him.


    "Why aren''t you leaving? You want me to sue you? " Misappropriation of public funds and evasion of taxes. As long as there were people, the higher-ups would definitely send people to investigate.


    It was only a matter of time before the payment would be made. However, it would only be troublesome if it was to be recorded in the official records.


    The Eldest Uncle looked at his son''s displeased face and felt extremely displeased. When he saw that the Eldest Uncle had chased them away, he took the opportunity to descend the stairs.


    He had to go back and find out what exactly had happened.


    After the uncle left, the three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say.


    On the other hand, Qiao Chu An''s face was expressionless. It was just that Bo An Jin''s face was a little withered. After calling for the Shuriken, he quietly hid behind Qiao Chu An.


    At this awkward moment, the nurse in the ward came out and said that the old man had woken up and let them in.


    Old Man Bo was originally full of vigor and vigor, but after the operation just now, his expression became clearly dejected.


    His originally lively eyes were now covered with a layer of gray mist.


    "Xiu Nan, your uncle, sigh." When he mentioned his disappointing son, Old Master Bo couldn''t help but sigh.


    He didn''t have much ability, but he liked to stare at things that didn''t belong to him.


    Why did he leave the Bo family in the hands of the Shura? Did he not have a clue?


    If he wasn''t so close to the mud, how would he have allowed the thin cultivator to support the thin family''s businesses at such a young age?


    Many of the reasons why the Bo family had been able to grow to its current scale was due to the efforts of the thin overseer.


    He wasn''t blind, he could see all of this clearly.


    Now that he saw Bo family making money, he wanted to share a piece of the cake. How could there be a thing in this world where one didn''t have to work hard to earn a share?


    "I don''t care about their matters. What to do. "Just do it." He woke up and didn''t see them come over. It seemed like they really didn''t take him to heart.


    However, it made sense, if she really treated him as a relative, she would never anger him into the hospital.


    "You guys go out first, I want to rest for a while." Old Man Bo looked at the three people in the ward, a trace of gratification flashing across his eyes. At least he wasn''t alone.


    "Then grandpa, rest well. I''ll take care of uncle''s and his matters." He didn''t say how he was going to deal with them. He just said that he had his own plans.


    Old Man Bo only nodded his head and didn''t make any other arrangements when he heard this.


    His good-for-nothing son should be taught a lesson.


    After the three of them left the ward, Bo Anjin still did not speak. He did not have his usual liveliness.


    When Baoshu saw this, he couldn''t help but ask Jojouan to go with him and have a chat.


    "What happened to An An?" I don''t think he''s been happy all this time. " He was very concerned about his son, and he could find out whenever something went wrong.


    "I was scolded by your uncle and his son today." At the mention of this, Qiao Chu An was filled with anger. "They called An An An a bastard more than once. An Ann was scolded silly by them."


    "How dare they!" Blue veins popped out from the veins on his hands. One must know that he had chosen to conceive in a substitute, but he had clearly explained how Bo Anjin had come here.


    It was also a rule not to allow people to discuss the matter of Bo Anjin''s own mother.


    He had always protected Bo Anjin with all his might. He never thought that a single trip would cause his so-called relatives to harm his children.


    "I got it. You go and accompany An An. I have some matters to take care of right now."


    Seeing the ugly expression on Bo Xiuran''s face, he knew that he was going to deal with the people who were scolding An Ran. She did not need to worry about these matters.


    Right now, she had to quickly comfort him so that the pain in his heart wasn''t too great.


    After Qiao Chunan left, Xiuran immediately passed the information in his hands to the Public Prosecutor''s Office. Some of them chose to report this to the police.


    It had already been half an hour since he had taken care of all these matters.


    Just as he was about to go to see An''an, a call came from his uncle.


    "Bo Xiuran, have you revealed Xiu Hao''s matter?" The Eldest Uncle had some connections, he knew about this information the moment he passed it over.


    He asked exactly what kind of weakness BaoXiuhao had in his hands.


    It was really because he had asked clearly that he started to panic.


    The evidence had been proven, and prison was inevitable.


    "How can this be leaked out? I am only fulfilling my basic duty as a citizen." The voice of the protector was as cold as ever. The mockery in his voice made his uncle flustered.

 C59

    He was not afraid of others becoming flustered and exasperated, but he was afraid of people like the Shuren clan who were easy to talk to. In fact, as long as he made up his mind, he would not be able to change anything.


    "You can''t do this, I''ll go beg the old man, the old man definitely doesn''t want to see his grandson sent to jail." The elder uncle of Bo Xiuran immediately pulled his wife and Bo Xiuhao to go to the hospital with him.


    He shouldn''t have come out of the hospital then.


    "The old man doesn''t want to bother with you anymore." The sound of her soft laughter reached his uncle''s ears, making him feel as if he had fallen into an icehouse. "Tell me to take care of this matter with all my power."


    "Impossible, the old man can''t possibly ignore us!" After hanging up the phone, Bo Xiuran''s uncle took the family and drove them to the hospital.


    However, when they arrived at the hospital, they didn''t even enter the ward.


    Since he couldn''t get in, he kept making a ruckus outside.


    There was nothing the doctor could do but to call the minuet.


    The thin cultivator looked at his uncle and the thin cultivator Hao that were arguing outside, he could not help but knit his brows, and coldly said, "What are you guys doing here? Grandfather will not see you. "


    "Xiu Lan, you are ruthless! Your cousin has offended you! "What right do you have to send him to jail?" The crying sound of her mother was getting louder and louder, causing her head to hurt.


    "Grandfather was angered by them into the hospital, is this not inviting me? Cursing my son, is this not considered inviting me? Bullying my staff, is this not considered inviting me? "


    With regards to her nephew''s temper, it was only natural that Xiuran''s aunt was very clear about it.


    If there were anything else, she was confident that she could obtain the forgiveness of the empress.


    However, this matter was related to Bo Anjin, so there was no way for him to resolve it.


    One must know that Bo Anjin was the reverse scale of Bo Xiuran, and no one could bully him.


    "Xiu Nan ah, on behalf of your uncle and cousin, I want you to apologize. Your lord doesn''t care about these people, so don''t sue your cousin." While the aunt was crying, she noticed the appearance of Bo Anjin and immediately stepped forward, "An An, your uncle said the wrong thing. Can you forgive him?"


    Knowing that it was impossible for her to do that, her aunt shifted her gaze to Bo Anjin, "Your grandpa is a fool. He''s just spouting nonsense. The things he says are all lies."


    When Bo Xiuhao saw his mother berating his father and him like this, his expression became particularly ugly. However, he didn''t want to go to jail, so he could only lower his head and stand at the side with a gloomy expression.


    The look on the uncle''s face didn''t look any better.


    However, he could not say those words of apology, so he could only let his wife say them.


    "Is this the employee of Xiu Lan?" Xiu Hao was wrong to make a move just now. I''m sorry, but I apologize to you.


    After apologizing to Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin, his aunt turned to look at him. "Xiu Nan, your uncle and cousin know they were wrong. You can''t just ignore them!"


    Knowing that old man Bo would not care about them, Bo Xiuran''s uncle and Bo Xiuhao became like a frosted eggplant.


    In the past, they had caused all sorts of ruckus, and they knew that it was impossible for Old Master Bo to give them up.


    If they really gave up on them, they wouldn''t have any capital to stand in front of the thin elementalist.


    "You take An An away first, I''ll deal with this first." Bo Xiuran waited for his aunt to finish her apology before he asked Qiao Chuan An to take Bo Anjin away.


    As for his own aunt, he naturally knew her well.


    As an astute person, he knew that the reason he didn''t say anything was to get them to apologize.


    "Let Bo Xiuhao leave the country, and don''t come back in the future." You can no longer meddle in the affairs of the Bo Family. " "If you agree, I will take care of the rest."


    "If you don''t agree, then I think it''s better for you to go to jail."


    "I agree, I agree! How can I not agree!"


    There was no trace of displeasure on the face of Aunt Mian, but on the contrary, she expressed her support for this initiative.


    It was better for them to go abroad with money than to jail at home.


    As for the Bo family''s companies, he was currently unable to accept them.


    If they continued to fight, perhaps all of the men in the family would fall in.


    These two choices were very straightforward and straightforward.


    Although Bo Xiuhao and his father were unwilling, the situation was still better than the others. Even if they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do.


    The old man didn''t care about them. If they really fell into the hands of the emaciated empress dowager, it would definitely not be good.


    He took care of his uncle''s affairs while Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin went to play in the little garden beside the hospital.


    Before leaving, he turned his head to look at the person who had arrogantly wanted to take the Bo Family into his pocket. However, now, he was like a dog that had lost its home as he admitted his mistakes in front of the thin cultivator.


    In the end, it was still because the thin elementalist was very strong and had grasped the lifeline of Bo Xiuhao''s group.


    If she was strong enough, could she have repaid the justice that Gu Nan''s family owed the Qiao family?


    Although Qiao Chun An''s mind was full of these things, he did not ignore Bo An Jin''s current state of mind.


    The child''s mind was extremely weak. Adding on those words, even an adult like her wouldn''t be able to stand it, let alone a child.


    "Anthea, did you hear that? Did your grandma just apologize and say that everything your grandpa said was false? They''re all lies, and you can''t take it seriously. "


    Qiao Chuan looked at the gloomy expression on Bo Anjin''s face and his heart felt as if it had been grabbed by something. He felt a little uncomfortable.


    His words were very gentle, but there was no way for him to persuade Bo Anjin otherwise.


    He also knew that the reason why he had asked them to apologize was because he wanted them to admit that what they had said was false and nonsense.


    He wanted to minimize the damage he received.


    However, the damage had already been dealt, and there were still wounds to heal.


    After he came over, he looked at her with a helpless expression. He shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do.


    There was no way for her to erase the damage she had done. After all, it was true that Anthea did not have a mother.


    If Anthea''s mother had been there, she might not have been hurt.


    Of course, if she was strong enough, she would be able to protect An An, and not let An An An hear those people''s words.


    But she was neither capable nor Anthea''s mother.


    There were a lot of things she couldn''t do easily.


    "Mr. Bo, you and An An, have a good chat. I''ll go see Grandpa Bo." Qiao Chunan handed over Bo Anjin to Bo Xiushan while he turned around and walked back to the ward.


    "Thank you for what you did today, George." Just as Qiao Chunan was about to turn around, the thin cultivator said, "Thank you for protecting them today."


    Hearing the words of the empress, Qiao Chunan uncomfortably pushed his hair back from his ears. He didn''t turn his head and said in a muffled voice, "Mr. Bo has helped me many times. This is what I should do."

    As for his worries and the fact that he almost died from running over here, those were not important.


    She owed a lot to the thin one, and she should have paid it back.


    The thin cultivator looked at Qiao Chuan An''s back and the corner of his mouth curled up. He wanted to escape from Qiao Chun An''s side, but he wanted to see whether or not he would allow it!


    "Dad, do I really not have a mother?" Bo Anjin rolled his pants with his fingers, lowered his head, and asked in a low voice, "Everyone else has a mother, I''m the only one without a mother."


    "An An, do you want Auntie Qiao to be your mother?" "If you really want her to be your mother, how about you let Auntie Qiao be your mother?"


    "Dad, really?" Bo Anjin raised his head, joy flashing across his eyes. However, it quickly disappeared, "It''s no use. You don''t like Auntie Qiao, and Auntie Qiao doesn''t like you either."


    Bo Anjin thought back to his chat with Aunt Qiao, who had said that when two people get married, they have to like each other.


    His father didn''t like Auntie Qiao, and Aunt Qiao didn''t like his father either.


    "How do you know your Aunt Qiao doesn''t like me?" Bo Xiuran picked up Bo Anjin and softly said to him with a gentle look in his eyes, "Then how about we work hard to make Auntie Qiao like me?"


    "But dad, you really are useless. I used to tell you to like Auntie Qiao, but after so long, Auntie Qiao still hasn''t become my mother."


    As Bo Anjin thought of these things, he couldn''t help but twitch his mouth. The depressed expression on his face was gone, instead, he was reprimanding his father for not being able to catch his eye.


    Seeing that Bo Anjin had finally put this matter down, the expression on his face softened a lot.


    On the other side, Qiao Chunan was chatting with the old man.


    The conversation went from financial matters to the children of the Bo family, to his death as a visiting professor.


    "Your mother used to be a very good cook." When he came in, he heard the old man talking to Qiao Chunan about how her mother had been his student.


    The sunlight that shone through the window half-way through the curtains made the side of Qiao Chuan''s face seem blurry under the crisscrossing of light and shadow. It was faintly suffused with a golden glow.


    Xiuran pursed his lips, not disturbing the two''s conversation. Instead, it was Bo Anjin who ran over to the side to listen in on the conversation.


    "I may not have inherited my mother''s craftsmanship." The sunlight outside the window fell on her body, making her seem exceptionally warm.


    "If you don''t mind, I brought you to have a taste tomorrow."


    The two slowly changed the topic.


    After accompanying the old man for lunch, Qiao Chu An left.


    Return to the company on holiday and continue working.


    The next day was the weekend, and he made the soup early in the morning and took it to the hospital.


    Lin Hanyue saw that Qiao Chuan An was doing these things and could not help but grow more and more worried for her.


    He had the illusion that Qiao Chuan An was a member of their family.


    It wasn''t that Qiao Chuan couldn''t feel Lin Hanyi''s concern for him, but the old man treated her very well and it was only right that she take care of him.


    Even if he wasn''t as good as a nurse, he could still accompany her often.


    Qiao Chuan accompanied the old man for a weekend, and Bo Anjin stayed in the hospital during that time.


    On the other hand, Ai Hui Jian had been here a few times, but there were still some matters that needed to be resolved, so he was not always around.


    The more Old Man Bo got along with Qiao Chunan, the more he liked this child that was in the process of advancing and retreating.


    Originally, he liked her because of his mother, but later on, he fell in love with such a strong and optimistic child.


    "You''ve suffered so much abroad." Old Man Bo couldn''t imagine how hard it was for a young girl to live abroad for five years.


    "I don''t think I''m suffering. Those days taught me to cherish my current life." At the same time, it made her remember the Gu Clan that had caused her to live like this.


    "Girls shouldn''t work too hard. It''s better to relax a bit more. Don''t strain yourself too much."


    The old man wouldn''t interfere too much with the lives of others. He really knew how to control such a distance. It wouldn''t offend him, but it would instead cause others to feel concerned about him.


    "I know." Joachim smiled, but would not listen.


    She had so much to do that she had no time to relax.


    Old Man Bo also saw Qiao Chuan''s thoughts, but he didn''t say anything. Instead, he brought up the topic, "My grandson''s company is very big now, if there''s anything you need help with, you can go find him."


    "Mr. Bo is very powerful. It was all thanks to him that I was able to lead such a good life."


    "What can he help you with? This isn''t even your own effort. I know that grandson of mine is just a businessman. If you don''t have anything he likes, he wouldn''t hire you."


    Grandpa Bo didn''t give him any face at all, but the more he did so, the closer their relationship got.


    Jojouan wanted someone to see his abilities, not to be summed up as she was because others were so good.


    "It''s not a disgrace to ask for help. If there''s anything you can use, you can ask for help." Old Man Bo directly said. Qiao Chuan An smiled and did not return.


    It didn''t matter if she went to find the thin shaman or not, she would remember Old Master Bo''s intentions.


    After resting in the hospital for two days, Old Master Bo left the hospital.


    On Monday, while he was at work, Joachim came into the CEO''s office.


    Thinking about what Old Man Bo had mentioned, Qiao Chu An decided to give it a try.


    "Come in." After knocking on the door, Qiao Chuan An heard the answer. He took a deep breath and walked in.


    "Mr. Bo, there''s something I need your help with." When he said this, his eyes looked straight at the thin Xiu Nan, but there was no flash.


    Hearing Qiao Chuan An''s words, the thin cultivator was stunned for a moment. His gaze fell onto Qiao Chun An''s delicate face and he chuckled. "Say it, if I can help, I will."


    He didn''t return it directly to her, telling her to be at ease. Instead, he said it in such a way that it made her feel more at ease.


    If he gave it to her directly, it would make him feel uneasy.


    If she agreed to it even if it meant disregarding her own interests, she would not feel at ease.


    "I want you to help me investigate the Gu Clan and the Su Clan." The request was not overstated.


    After all, GM and the Su Clan had a competitive relationship between them, and it was necessary for them to investigate each other.


    "I know about this matter. Be at ease and prepare for the exam." After pausing for a moment, the thin cultivator looked back at the document, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "How is the exam that you are preparing?"


    "No big problem." When it came to matters concerning his profession, Qiao Chun An''s face was filled with confidence.


    The amount of time required to prepare for the judicial certificate examination was very long. It would take at least half a year, and the amount of time required to review the examination was more than eight hours each day.


    Since Qiao Chuan said there was no problem, it meant that she must have spent a lot of time on this.


    "That''s good. There''s still a bit of time left. Why don''t you review it properly?"


    "Yes." "En," Qiao Chu An replied. Since there was nothing else, he left the office.


    The thin Xiuran looked at the back of Qiao Chu An''s figure, his eyes flashed, and then he lowered his head and continued to work on the documents on the table.

 C61

    Once this matter was resolved, Qiao Chuan An''s office would begin to work seriously.


    In the afternoon, Qiao Chuan knew that he was going to represent Shanghua Entertainment to discuss the law with H. amp M. He felt a little evasive.


    But she knew that escaping was not the only solution. Sooner or later, she would have to face off against the Gu family.


    After calming himself down, Qiao Chuan An appeared in the lobby of the Hamp-M company in high spirits.


    With the Ministry of Legal Affairs of Shanghainese and together with H. P. M., they discussed some legal documents.


    When he was meeting with the head of the Hamp-M department, Gu Nan saw him.


    Seeing that Qiao Chunan was still not feeling good, especially after he received the information from the investigation. Recently, Qiao Chunan had been with Xi Xiuran.


    He didn''t like him, but he felt that he must.


    He could abandon her, but she would have to wait for him.


    Gu Nan sat in the office, thinking about the things he had done to make Qiao Chuan completely fall in love with him. The malice in his eyes slowly gathered.


    If he fell in love with someone else, it would make him feel like a joke about those painful and depressing days.


    After knowing from the secretary''s office when that meeting would end, Lu Nan was waiting outside the door at the end.


    Qiao Chunan chatted with the people around him, but he didn''t pay attention to Gu Nan who was in the office.


    When Qiao Chuan came out of the toilet and saw Gu Nan waiting outside the door, he changed his footsteps and vomited into the emergency passage.


    Once Qiao Chu An left, Gu Nan immediately followed.


    With nowhere to run, Qiao Chunan was forced into the storage room by Gu Nan.


    "Qiao Chuan, did you come looking for me today?" Gu Nan''s handsome face had a sinister smile on it. "Did you discover that you still like me?"


    Qiao Chunan had already found out last time that Gu Nan''s brain circuitry was completely incomprehensible.


    "Gu Nan, what are you doing? At the moment when the Gu Clan attacks our Su Clan, we can only be enemies! " The anger on Qiao Chunan''s face was obvious, the fire in his eyes was about to ignite.


    "Would I like the person who destroyed Mrs. Qiao? I''m afraid you''re dreaming! "


    "You don''t like me?" Gu Nan pushed Qiao Chu An against the corner of the wall. He reached out his hand to pull off her chin, and his eyes were bloodshot. "Is it because of the thin shaman?"


    "You don''t like me because you like the thin one?"


    "Let go of me!" Qiao Chunan beat Gu Nan, but Gu Nan didn''t seem to have any influence over him.


    One had to know that there was a natural difference in physical strength between men and women.


    "What did Bo Xiuran give you to follow him?" Gu Nan looked at Qiao Chunan''s delicate face. His chin was already red from using some force, and his expression became more unsightly. "Or should I say, what did you give him? How can he protect you like this?"


    The hand that was pinching his chin felt a little strong. Gu Nan approached Qiao Chuan and mumbled, "Is it this body?"


    "I want to see what kind of body it is that the thin Shuyan is obsessed with!" Gu Nan''s face twisted, and he looked especially sinister. Just as Gu Nan''s lips were about to touch Qiao Chunan''s face, Qiao Chunan slapped him with the bag in his hand.


    Gu Nan reached behind him to rub his head, then let go of Qiao Chunan.


    Qiao Chunan felt Gu Nan loosen his grip and threw a slap at Gu Nan''s face.


    With a "pa" sound, it stopped Gu Nan in his tracks.


    Gu Nan was about to reach out and grab Qiao Chunan again when the voice of the cleaning lady came from beside him.


    While Gu Nan was lost in thought, Qiao Chun An grabbed his bag and ran out of the storage room.


    His expression turned ugly, his hand kept rubbing Gu Nan''s chin, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.


    She really didn''t know why things had turned out this way.


    When she was young, she had really wanted to marry Gu Nan and live the life of a couple, but now it was all different.


    Joachim sat in a coffee shop downstairs for a long time, waiting for his mood to settle before he returned to the office.


    The red scar on her chin had already disappeared, and the fear in her eyes had slowly disappeared. However, the fear that was lingering in her heart was like a shadow, she had no way of avoiding it.


    When Joachim came downstairs, he sent a text message to the rest of the company saying that she would be back later.


    By the time Joachim returned to the company, the staff had already finished their work.


    It was somewhat dark inside the room. Qiao Chunan hugged his legs as he sat at the corner of the desk. His eyes were empty, without a single focus.


    His phone rang again and again on the table, but he didn''t pick up the phone. In the pitch black space, he listened to the phone vibrate. It made him feel like he was not that alone.


    Half an hour later, the lights in the corridor were turned on.


    The light was a bit blinding, causing Joachim''s eyes to shine brightly.


    "Qiao Chuan, what are you still doing in the company?" The tall and slender figure of the thin cultivator stood between light and darkness, his voice was as cold as ever, "Go home early."


    Qiao Chuan raised his head. The water in his eyes had been suppressed. He stood up and said hoarsely, "I will be going home soon."


    She was not used to letting others see her embarrassment.


    However, the more he did not want others to find out, the easier it was for others to find out.


    He stood up a bit fiercely, his legs were a bit numb, and he moved to the side.


    "Be careful when you walk." Tatiana took him by the arm and steadied her.


    The skin that his hand touched was as thin as clotted oil, but it was also somewhat cold.


    "Go home and rest early." Xiuran pulled back his hand and looked at Qiao Chunan''s slightly red eyes. He pursed his lips and said, "Things will eventually be resolved."


    With that said, Bo Xiuran turned and left.


    When he reached the corridor, he turned his head and spoke in a cold voice that was filled with a rare gentleness, "Let''s go, I''ll take you home."


    Qiao Chao An watched as the thin shaman walked away. He picked up the bag on the table and looked at the missed phone. A warm feeling ran through his heart.


    After seeing Qiao Chuan An''s back as he was walking her up the stairs, the thin Xiu Lan became silent. He realized that Qiao Chuan An''s influence was getting bigger and bigger.


    As for Qiao Chunan, who had just arrived at home, he was scolded by Lin Hanyue.


    Hearing Lin Hanyue''s curses, Qiao Chao An didn''t feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.


    "Chu An, how did you do that? I wonder if I would be worried!" "If you don''t answer the phone, you won''t be able to follow me." Lin Hanxia looked at Qiao Chu An''s listless face and cursed a few times. Then, she could no longer carry on cursing.


    "Have you eaten? I''ll cook your noodles for you! "


    "I knew Xiaoxiao was the best to me." Qiao Chuan held Lin Hanxue''s arm, his expression softening.


    But he didn''t let Lin Hanxue enter the kitchen alone, he followed her in.


    "Speak, what happened today?" Lin Hanxiao cut the chopped onions very quickly. He didn''t stop talking, instead asking about what had happened today, "Don''t hide it from me. If you tell me, you won''t feel sad."


    "I met Gu Nan today."


    "What did that loser Gu Nan do to you?" Lin Hanxiao stopped what he was doing, his eyes revealing a murderous light. "I really want to use my blade to kill that scumbag!"

 C62

    "Xiaoxiao, do you think that it was my fault that they came to find me?" Qiao Chuan thought of Qin Guan and Gu Nan. They all thought of ¡­


    "What makes you think that?" Lin Hanyi walked over and hugged Qiao Chuan. "You''re the victim, why are you still being condemned?"


    "Chu An, you study law, so you must have seen a lot of this. You can only blame the bad guys for this. We can''t bully the victim just because she''s a good person."


    "You are the victim, not the perpetrator."


    Lin Hanxue couldn''t say any comforting words, so she just stood to the side and silently accompanied Qiao Chunan.


    Too many things had happened to Qiao Chunan. She felt sorry for him, but she could not help to alleviate the pain.


    "Sorry Xiaoxiao, my mood is a little broken today." The pressure that he had felt for a long time had caused him to erupt.


    She had been forgetting these things for five years, but they had only grown heavier and heavier in her heart.


    Unless the Gu Clan and the Su Clan fell, she would forever remember what had happened to her.


    "Chu An, you can''t just disappear like this in the future. If it wasn''t for the fact that I left the phone number with the thin Xiu Nong, I wouldn''t even know where to find you."


    In order to ease the atmosphere, Lin Hanxia told him what had happened.


    "You said that Mr. Bo specifically went back to find me?" Hearing Lin Hanyue''s words, Qiao Chunan was stunned for a moment. She thought that there was something that had been forgotten.


    But that''s true. If she really had forgotten something, how would he be able to discover her hiding in that corner?


    "Don''t you know?" Lin Hanxiao blinked, his words filled with disbelief. "He actually didn''t tell you, this is a way to take advantage of my sister."


    "No, it should be because it knows that I will definitely tell you. That''s why it didn''t say." After all, only those who were careless would believe the sincerity of a good deed.


    What would it be like if he came out and said something?


    "As expected, my cultivation experience is still too shallow. Otherwise, I would definitely not tell you about this." Lin Hanxiao''s face was full of regret. "My luscious cabbage is about to be butchered by a pig, I''m sad."


    "If you dare to say that Mr. Bo is a pig, then in your eyes, there is no man." Qiao Chunan''s face was slightly red. He thought of the Xiu Lan who came to look for her today and felt a sweet feeling in his heart.


    "Even if it''s a pig, a thin shaman is still a drilled pig." Lin Hanxia saw the expression on Qiao Chuan''s face and pouted. As expected, she still helped with the attack.


    If Chu An ever gets hurt by a thin siren, she''ll be blamed for it!


    "The water''s about to boil, hurry up and go down." Qiao Chuan was amused and felt much better. Looking at the pot that was still steaming hot, he couldn''t help but push Lin Han Xiao.


    "Ah, it''s true. I''m going to cook the noodles right now. I want you to taste my bowl of noodles filled with love." Lin Hanyi jumped up and ran towards the stove.


    Looking at Lin Hanyue''s back, the corner of Qiao Chuan''s mouth slightly raised, his expression softening.


    Fortunately, she still had a friend. Otherwise, how hard would it have been to live like this?


    If there were people who could care about her, then she could be considered to be very happy.


    After what happened yesterday at Hampo, Qiao Chunan''s hatred for Gu Nan deepened.


    On the other side, Gu Nan was also very upset after Qiao Chuan left.


    It just so happened that Su Ran, who had been with him for a few days, came to find him. At the same time, he also heard about the matter of Qiao Chu An coming to the company.


    The sullen expression on his face gave one a glimpse of his state of mind.


    Su Ran pushed open the office door and asked angrily, "Gu Nan, did you just go to see Qiao Chun An?"


    Gu Nan was not in a good mood to begin with, so when he heard Su Ran''s questioning tone, his expression immediately darkened, "What are you arguing about now?"


    However, for some reason, when he saw Su Ran, he would think of Qiao Chuan.


    In the past when he was with Qiao Chuan, Su Ran had secretly done things that caught his attention. He knew and even hinted at it to her.


    He was clearly such a smart person in the past, but why did he become so unreasonable now? All he knew was that he was jealous.


    Gu Nan rubbed his forehead, looking a little impatient. His voice also became hoarse, "If there''s nothing else, then you should go home."


    Su Ran''s expression was ugly when he entered the office. When he saw the palm imprint on Gu Nan''s face, his expression darkened to the point of almost turning black. He walked in front of Gu Nan and reached out his hand to touch Gu Nan''s face.


    However, Gu Nan pushed him away with a slap.


    "Gu Nan, who hit you on the face? Is it that little bitch? " Su Ran was pushed away by Gu Nan and his anger and jealousy flared up in an instant. He reached out to grab Gu Nan''s clothes and shouted hysterically, "Who the hell is it?"


    Gu Nan was stunned by Su Ran''s ferocious expression for a while, but soon recovered and unwittingly said, "No one else was there. I didn''t go see Qiao Chu An today either."


    However, a piece of Qiao Chuan''s information was revealed.


    When Su Ran saw the information on the desk, she snatched it away. "You''re still saying that you didn''t go and see her?"


    "This is information for the company that Qiao Chuan worked for. Why would I want to meet her?" I''ve always liked you. If I really did like him, would I be with you? "


    Gu Nan''s words revealed that Qiao Chun An was using the company''s affairs to seduce him.


    Su Ran''s mind was clouded with jealousy. He did not think too much about it. The jealousy and hatred he felt towards Qiao Chuan An grew even deeper.


    She really wanted to kill Qiao Chuan immediately.


    Qiao Chun An didn''t know that Gu Nan had splashed dirty water on him. She had been hiding in the milk tea shop, healing her wounds.


    The next day, Qiao Chuan arrived at the company''s platform. Just as he was about to enter the company, he was called over by Su Ran.


    "Jojouan, let''s talk." Su Ran leaned against the sportscar and took off her sunglasses. Her head was slightly raised and her bright red dress vividly displayed the beautiful woman in front of him.


    The people at work kept looking over, but they didn''t stop.


    In the end, it was more important to go to work. After all, no matter how many eyes the luxury car beauty looked at him, it wouldn''t be his.


    "I don''t think we have anything to talk about." Qiao Chunan stopped and looked up at her former friend. A sneer formed on his lips, "I wish you and Gu Nan a long life."


    That way, when she made a move, she could catch them all in one fell swoop.


    "Gu Nan and I will be together forever, but can you not seduce my Gu Nan!" Su Ran''s voice was completely out of control. The surrounding people kept on looking at Qiao Chun An from time to time.


    Watching a good show is the norm for the public.


    However, there were still not many people who stayed to watch.

 C63

    Joachim didn''t want to think too badly of people. Plus, this was the company, so there was no way anything else could have happened.


    Even though he was thinking this, he still felt a bit annoyed.


    After all, Guan Lan may be An An''s mother, so she should pay attention to these matters.


    After waiting for a while, Qiao Chunan realized that Shangguan Lan and Shen Lin still hadn''t come out. Thus, he decided to talk to them in the future.


    But he also felt that she was being a little nosy this way.


    Thinking of the help she had received from Shuren and the lovely Anthea, he decided that he would just mention it.


    After lunch, Qiao Chu An continued his review.


    At work in the afternoon, Shuriken came to the office.


    Coincidentally, she also had the information that she needed to review carefully for her signature.


    "Mr. Bo, Miss Guan came looking for you today." Qiao Chun An looked down at the information in his hand and said seemingly unintentionally: "You weren''t there, and she met Mister Shen."


    "Why are you telling me this?" The thin cultivator raised his eyes. The cold gaze made Qiao Chuan''s heart tremble. His lips moved and a bitter smile appeared on his face.


    During this period of time with Bo Anjin, he had deliberately created such an ambiguous relationship that she had forgotten that Bo Xiuxiu and Shangguan Lan were a couple.


    Now that she said these words, it gave people a feeling that she was trying to sow discord.


    "It''s nothing, I just want to ask if Miss Guan has been working with Mr Shen''s company recently."


    He thought about the bitter smile that appeared on her face and the frustration that rose in his heart. His tone became colder and colder, "You don''t have to worry about the matters between the two of them."


    After a while, the thin cultivator finally understood why Qiao Chuan An was asking this question. He explained, "How could I care so much about the matters of a subordinate''s heart?"


    "You and Miss Guan are only subordinates?" Jody''s eyes flashed with a hint of joy, but he could not help but say the words out loud.


    "If he isn''t a subordinate, then what is he?" After seeing the change in Qiao Chunan''s expression, she felt much better.


    He then looked down and finished reading the information in his hands, signing his name, "I''ve been busy preparing for the Judicial Exam, can I manage my work?"


    "I can handle it. These things helped me reinforce my understanding of some of the provisions."


    "Anye''s mood has eased up a lot these few days. If you have free time during the weekend, can you come over to spend time with her?"


    "Yes, I''ll be there." Qiao Chuan nodded and said seriously, "Mr. Bo, if you are free, you should also spend more time with me."


    An Xin had no mother, so her father''s existence became more important.


    What happened last week was a bad thing for An Xin. This kind of harm had to be removed, otherwise, it would be bad for An An''s future growth.


    She naturally knew about this, so she wanted to let An An and Qiao Chu An have more contact.


    After all, the help his mother gave him was still useful.


    He could see that Anthea had not been in a good mood for the past few days, but she would be in a much better mood when she received his call.


    Even though he knew that she was in a bad mental state yesterday, she still remembered to call An An.


    When he saw Anthea on the phone last night, he had mixed feelings.


    "Then I''ll leave first." Just as the thin cultivator was deep in thought, Qiao Chuan An took the documents from the thin cultivator''s hands, said a few words and left.


    The thin Xiuran looked at the thin figure of Qiao Chu An, his cold brows revealed a hint of gentleness that he did not even notice.


    It had been more than half a year since Qiao Chunan had returned, and the Judicial Exam was about to begin.


    After seeing that he was particularly tired, he gave her a vacation to study at home.


    Qiao Chunan knew that this period of time was very important. He did not refuse and accepted the kindness of the protector.


    Their chance to meet was almost gone. Qiao Chuan An had been studying peacefully at home recently.


    There was a person at home who was preparing for an exam. Lin Hanxue also stewed soup for Qiao Chunan every day. She tried to keep quiet at home and didn''t disturb Qiao Chunan.


    Even if Qiao Chuan said she didn''t need it, Lin Hanyue would still do it.


    Bo Anjin was also very obedient and told Qiao Chuan An not to call him recently to let her study.


    But Jojouan did not agree. She could not save on the phone time every night.


    Everyone was working hard for the examination. Qiao Chu An felt everyone''s concern and felt his heart warm.


    At the same time, Su Ran also knew that Qiao Chunan was preparing for the exam. He wanted to find a chance to break Qiao Chunan''s hand and let her know that she was not someone to be trifled with.


    When they were close to the exam, Qiao Chao An was not that nervous, but beside her was a very nervous person.


    After a day of study and dinner, Joachim looked at Lin Hanyue''s tense nerves and found it funny, but at the same time, it also felt warm inside.


    Having friends was different.


    "Xiaoxiao, this is my test, not yours. You seem to be even more nervous than me." After saying this, Joachim put his arm around Lin Hanyue''s, and the two of them went for a walk in the district.


    Walking was a habit both of them had after dinner.


    The street lamps in the night area were dim, and the shadows of the garden beside them were somewhat eerie.


    However, the two of them had been like this for the past few days. There wasn''t anything wrong with it.


    As the two of them passed through a garden, a shadow suddenly appeared before their eyes.


    The two shrieked in fright as they held blades in their hands which shone faintly in the moonlight.


    "Help!" As soon as Lin Hanxiao called out, the person behind him covered his mouth. It was at this moment that the two realized that the person in front of them wasn''t the only one in the garden, there were two more behind him.


    Qiao Chuan was not much better off. His mouth was covered by someone, and he was about to struggle when he was knocked unconscious.


    "Hurry up, someone''s coming over!" It wasn''t too late for Qiao Chuan An and the others to go downstairs. At this time, the people from the district were still outside, moving about.


    "Who are you?!"


    "Who cares who she is, both of their hands are broken!"


    "Woo woo ¡­" Lin Hanxue was the one with the most strength. He struggled until he got the person who was holding her mouth away. "I''m Qiao Chuan An, she''s my friend. Don''t touch her!"


    "How did you do it?" I can''t even control a woman! " The person who knocked Qiao Chuan unconscious turned to look at his brother with a vicious expression. "Who cares who she is. Hurry up and make a move. We''ll break her apart together!"


    "Brother Xiong, didn''t the employer give you a photo? I only knocked one, and she only gave me one! " The person holding the knife trembled. This was the first time he had done this.


    The person who was called Brother Xiong was getting impatient. He checked the photo with the two people on the ground, found Qiao Chunan and tapped him on the wrist with a stone.

 C64

    As for the knives, they were purely meant to frighten people.


    After all, a tool like a knife was easy to find.


    After doing such a thing, they took a photo of the person in Qiao Chuan''s hand and sent it to Su Ran.


    Su Ran, who had been waiting for the results, smiled gleefully. He wanted to kill Qiao Chun An, but he wanted her to live a life worse than death.


    She destroys whatever she wants.


    If Su Ran knew that Qiao Chunan had taken a leave of absence for the exam, she would destroy her hand and prevent her from taking the exam.


    Although the residential area was not crowded, the place that Qiao Chun An and the others chose was not remote.


    Before long, the two of them were discovered by the people in the park.


    Lin Hanxiao was only knocked unconscious, but he quickly woke up. When he woke up, he looked to the side and saw Qiao Chuan''s bloody hands and tears falling from his eyes.


    Both of them were in the ambulance at this time, so after Lin Hanyue woke up, he had been guarding Qiao Chuan.


    Shortly before nine o''clock, Qiao Chuan''s mobile phone rang.


    In the past, Qiao Zheng An would call Bo Anjin at eight o''clock. Today, Qiao Chun An didn''t call, but Bo Anjin was waiting at home.


    Even if you are dozing off, you still have to hold the phone.


    He also knew that Qiao Chuan An would call Bo Anjin every night, so he felt it was strange that he didn''t get a call tonight. He only thought that she would call later.


    Finally, at nine o''clock, unable to wait any longer, the thin Shura, afraid that something had happened to Qiao Chuan, immediately called.


    One had to know that Qiao Chunan never agreed to a contract, not to mention that he had already promised Bo Anjin.


    Lin Hanxue saw Qiao Chuan''s phone call and realized it was from a thin shaman. After thinking for a moment, she still picked it up.


    After what happened today, there must be someone by Qiao Chuan''s side to protect him. She did not have that kind of power, but since there was someone here, she would definitely be able to protect him.


    Lin Han Xiao told the thin Shuyan about what happened today and told him to find someone to protect Qiao Chun An.


    The police had reported him, but the person who hurt him might not be able to find out.


    She knew from their words that there was someone behind this.


    Without a doubt, it was Su Ran. However, Su Ran had definitely found a good scapegoat, or it could be said that this matter might not be related to Su Ran.


    "What''s wrong? Who made the call? " Soon after arriving at the hospital, Jojouan woke up, but his hands were being applied with medicine and he couldn''t pick up the phone.


    "Oh right, I didn''t call An An today. Please help me call her and let me talk to her for a bit." Just then, he put his phone in his pocket, so he got Lin Hanyue to pick up the call.


    Lin Han Xiao knew Qiao Chuan''s personality and didn''t want others to worry about her, so he decided to tell the matter to the thin elementalist on his own.


    "It''s the phone call from the thin one. I told him about what you were doing." Lin Hanxia didn''t hide it, she also knew that it was useless to hide it.


    According to that person''s personality, he should be in the car by now.


    Hearing Lin Han Xiao''s words, Qiao Chao An pursed his lips. He knew Lin Han Xiao was thinking for his own good. The two girls'' fighting abilities were really too weak.


    On the other side of the room, Shuren''s face darkened when he heard about the damage to Jocelyn.


    "Dad, what''s wrong? Did something happen to Auntie Qiao? " Bo Anjin stood at the side, vaguely hearing the news of his hand getting smashed. Thinking that Auntie Qiao did not call him tonight, he wondered if she was in Auntie Qiao''s hands.


    "Mm, your Auntie Qiao is injured, do you want to come with me and take a look at her?" Xiu Nan did not choose to hide anything from Qiao Chun An. He thought that at this time, Qiao Chun An''s heart must be in a bad mood and might feel better looking at his child.


    During this period of time, everyone was very clear about how important the Judicial Exam was. If something like this happened only a week before the Exam, then Qiao Chun An''s heart definitely wouldn''t feel any better.


    "I want to go, I want to go." After Bo Anjin heard what Qiao Chuan was doing, he immediately got out of bed and put on his shoes. He then said to the car beside him, "Dad, hurry up and drive. I''ll go downstairs immediately."


    He got out of the car and prepared to drive to the hospital.


    At the hospital, Qiao Chunan''s face looked a little sad, but he didn''t shed tears. The more they treated her like this, the more she had to smile to face with them. She was regretting not being able to take the Judicial Exam.


    She had been working hard for so long, yet it was all ruined by Su Ran.


    It was a bit hateful when he thought about it.


    "Xiaoxiao, I''m sorry. I caused you to suffer together with me today."


    Although Qiao Chun An fainted, he woke up in a daze. He heard that someone was going to cut their hands together, and he also heard Lin Han Xiao say that her name was Qiao Chun An. She treasured having such a friend.


    "I''m fine again. What are you going to do with this move?" Lin Hanxia looked at Qiao Chuan''s hand and said, "I''ll see if I can find a good doctor to treat you."


    He could wait until the next time for the Judicial Exam, but if there was a problem with his hands, then there would be no way for him to take the exam in the future, and his life would become very troublesome.


    Just as Qiao Chunan and Lin Hanyue were speaking, Bo Xiuniang and Bo Anjin arrived.


    "Mr. Bo," Qiao Chunan raised his head. He looked at the thin Shura who was covered in cold air and the flushed face of Bo Anjin. His face did not look too good as he asked, "Why did you bring An An here?"


    "Auntie Qiao, do you not want to see me?" Bo Anjin looked at Qiao Chuanan''s hands, which were wrapped into dumplings, and immediately cried out, "Auntie Qiao, you''re injured, how could I not come over?"


    "No, no, don''t cry." Qiao Chunan watched as Bo Anjin cried. He had no other choice but to helplessly look at Bo Xiuran.


    "Now that Auntie Qiao is injured, you can''t cry. Otherwise, how will you take care of Auntie Qiao?"


    "Dad, you''re right. I''m a man, I want to be brave." Bo Anjin immediately wiped away his tears and moved closer to Qiao Chuan An.


    Qiao Chu An was stunned when he saw Bo Anjin''s advice.


    Is there anyone who would advise a child like this?


    She was too old to need a child to take care of her.


    Of course, she wouldn''t directly say it to disappoint An An.


    "Miss Lin, you''ve worked hard. Leave this place to me for now. You should go back and rest first." The thin one spoke to Qiao Chuan An and said to Lin Han Xiao, "Come take care of Chu An tomorrow."


    Lin Hanyue saw that Qiao Chunan was talking to Bo Anjin again, and his expression had been very calm since he woke up. He nodded, said a few words to Qiao Chung-an, and left.


    "Xiaoxiao, go home and have a good rest. Come over a bit later tomorrow." Qiao Chuan didn''t tell her not to come over. She knew that even if she told her not to, she would still come over.


    "And the book I put on the table." There was something wrong with the tendons and bones in her hand. She needed to change the dressing constantly in the next few days, so she had to be hospitalized.

 C65

    "En, alright, I will bring it over for you." Lin Hanyi nodded, then he glanced at the thin Xiu Lan sitting beside him, not knowing if he had told him in advance whether this was the right or wrong thing to do.


    But even if she didn''t tell him, he would find out sooner or later.


    After Lin Hanyi left, Qiao Chun An looked at the dozing Bo An Jin. He raised his head and said, "Mr. Bo, I have nothing else to do. Take An Xin home first."


    The thin Xiu Nan looked at the person from start to finish without showing any sad expression, he could not help but feel his heart tighten.


    No one was born to be so indifferent to pain, unless the pain no longer hurt her.


    She was stronger than she had been for half a year.


    But it was also attractive.


    "I''ll find someone to cure your hand, don''t worry." Looking at the indifferent expression on Qiao Chuan An''s face, the only thing that could be seen was a touch of warmth when he looked at An Ran.


    Qiao Chun An smiled. He didn''t refuse nor did he agree. His voice was a little soft, but his words were very firm. "You should bring An An home first."


    "Alright, I''ll come and see you tomorrow." The emissary looked at Qiao Chuan An, got up and carried Bo An Jin in his arms. Then, he walked out of the room.


    Looking at the lonely ward, the corners of Qiao Chu An''s mouth twitched.


    Su Ran had truly gone mad.


    He used to use words to attack her, but now he actually started to do it.


    The more she wanted to see how unlucky she was, the more she would be saddened. Yet, she was not as bad as they wanted her to be!


    What Qiao Chuan did not know was that after he picked An An up the car, he called someone to investigate what happened tonight in the residential complex.


    He wouldn''t let go of the person who did this tonight.


    After he made this call, he immediately contacted a famous doctor abroad.


    He did not say that he would get someone to show him his hand.


    During this period of time, Qiao Chunan had already taken a fancy to the Judicial Exam. He wanted to hurt her hand so that she wouldn''t be able to take the examination and also see if he would agree to it.


    He would not let Qiao Chuan''s hardships go to waste.


    After contacting this group of people, the thin cultivator stood on the windowsill, his expression exceptionally cold.


    After a moment, he drove back to the hospital.


    He walked out of the room and glanced at the sleeping Qiao Chuan from the window before relaxing.


    At the same time, he arranged for the best team in the hospital to take care of Jojouan.


    On the second day, when Lin Hanyi arrived, he was standing outside the ward with a look of shock on his face that couldn''t be concealed.


    "Why are you outside? Won''t you go in? " Lin Hanyang opened the ward''s door with the thermal container in hand.


    At this time, Qiao Chuan had already woken up. Upon hearing Lin Hanyue''s words, he was also startled.


    "You go in first, I''ll go in later." "En," Baoshu replied, then turned and walked out of the corridor. Seeing this, Lin Hanxiao shrugged his shoulders and took the thing he had brought for Qiao Chunan.


    "Chu An, why do I feel like the relationship between you and Xiuran is getting weirder and weirder?" While Lin Hanyi was feeding Qiao Chuan, he thought of the thin Xiu Nun waiting outside and couldn''t help but shake his head.


    Hearing Lin Hanyue''s words, Qiao Chunan lowered her head. She didn''t know why it had turned out like this.


    In the afternoon, he was sent to the VIP ward, along with doctors and equipment from overseas.


    Looking at the equipment, Qiao Chunan felt that he owed her more and more.


    There was so much that she couldn''t afford to pay it back.


    However, she did not refuse as she knew that this would be of great help to her. At the same time, she didn''t want to give up on this Judicial Exam.


    After all, with a judicial certificate, she could truly be considered a lawyer.


    Only in the future would they be able to truly confront the Gu Clan and the Su Clan.


    The doctors that Bian Shuang spent a huge sum of money to hire were all very useful with the equipment they had transferred over.


    In just three days, her hands could move slightly.


    During the treatment of his hand, he did not drop the review.


    If she could write in a few days, she would have to take the exam.


    As they got closer to the exam, Qiao Chuan realized that he could already hold a pen. Although he couldn''t tire himself out too much, there was no problem with the exam.


    This week at the hospital, Bo An-jin often came with him. Besides performing, Lin Hanxia also accompanied Qiao Chunan.


    Persephone had already found out about Su Ran, who had hurt Jojouan, but had not told him about it.


    Afraid of affecting her exams.


    However, how could Qiao Chu An, who was familiar with Su Ran''s personality, not know that she was the one who did it?


    When Su Ran received the news that Qiao Chunan was still preparing to take the exam, he nearly died from anger!


    She had spent so much money to have her hands destroyed, but that bitch was still going to take the exam!


    Just as Su Ran returned to the Su family and wanted to ask his parents how they were going to beat that woman, Qiao Chuan An, to death, the thin elementalist had already found the door.


    "Mr Su, Mrs Su, this is the evidence that Su Ran bought the culprit and hurt the culprit." After entering, the thin cultivator took out the information in his hand.


    Su Ran''s parents were still a little nervous when the Elementary Scholar came. After all, they had heard of the Elementary Scholar''s reputation within the circle.


    In just a few years, the GM company had developed to such a degree that its ability could not be underestimated.


    Hearing what she said, Su Ran''s father flipped through the information on the tea table. It really was Su Ran buying evidence to harm someone.


    "Boy from the Bo family, what do you mean by showing this information to us?" Su Ran''s father was a merchant as well. Naturally, he knew that the thin elder wanted something like this in front of their eyes.


    "Your woman made a mistake, shouldn''t you manage it?" "If you don''t know how to discipline them, I can call the police and have them take care of her."


    As the girl spoke, Su Ran walked into the living room. When he heard her words, he immediately retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"


    "I''ve never done these things!" Su Ran would rather die than admit it. It was not like she had never done this before. No one would discover it.


    He also knew that he could convict Su Ran based on the information he had, but with the Su Clan''s power and influence, it wouldn''t be long before he came over to express his stance.


    She was the one protecting Qiao Chuan An, if she wanted to make a move on him, she would have to bear the rage of the Bo family.


    "Boy from the Bo family, is this information of yours wrong?" We, Su Ran, are so cute and obedient. How could we possibly do such a thing? " Su Ran''s mother had an amiable expression, but her words were directed at Su Ran.


    "Your father and I are friends, aren''t you being a little too unreasonable?" Although the thin cultivator was more vicious in the mall, but their Su Clan was not someone that was easy to deal with.

 C66

    Su Ran''s parents had a rather bad expression on their faces.


    After receiving their daughter''s story, the two of them began to doubt the authenticity of the evidence.


    "You want to have a relationship with my dad? "Then you can go and find him." He stood up and walked past Su Ran with his long legs, leaving behind a sentence, "Your Su Clan, take care of yourself."


    "Kid, don''t be too arrogant!" Suran''s father was so angry that his fingers were trembling when he heard the thin Shura telling him to go find his father.


    If he was asked to go and find the man whose father had died long ago, wouldn''t that mean that he was cursing him to die?


    "Are you the one who did all these?" After the protector left, Su Ran''s father threw the information in his hands at Su Ran, "Don''t you know to clean up your own mess and leave the evidence behind? Can you have more brains?"


    "Alright, stop talking about Su Ran. Isn''t she still young?" Su Ran''s mother patted Su Ran''s father''s back and said in a comforting tone, "Don''t be angry anymore. Being angry at yourself isn''t worth it."


    "Still young? Still young like her? Someone who had been married for several years! "Just get used to her!" Su Ran''s father directly went upstairs because he was angry at his wife.


    "Mom, will I be okay?" Although she had refuted him, she did not do such a thing. She was very clear about this.


    "Your dad won''t ignore you. You keep an eye on Gu Nan too, so you can grab onto Gu Nan''s heart." Su Ran''s mother touched Su Ran''s hair with a gentle expression.


    After leaving the Su Clan, Xiuran drove back to the hospital.


    Since he couldn''t stay in the hospital and the company was busy, he took the time to warn Su Ran.


    However, after looking at Su Ran''s mental state, he knew that she would not let Qiao Chun An off.


    Rubbing his forehead, the thin cultivator looked through all the information he had gathered before and gave the order to carry out the plan to annex the Su Clan.


    After working at the company for the whole afternoon, the empress looked out of the window with a slightly yellowish look, and her eyes reflected an orange hue, which made her feel somewhat warm.


    The atmosphere on the other side of the mountain was much warmer than on the other side of the river.


    Bo Anjin was playing with toys in the ward. Qiao Chunan was reading a book. The sunlight from outside the window was especially warm on the two of them.


    Qiao Chuan''s hands were almost healed, except that he could not lift anything heavy.


    He had originally planned to leave the hospital, but after that, he left it to observe the situation for a few days.


    He planned to leave the hospital the day before the exam.


    The closer they got to the exam, the safer it was for them.


    However, Su Ran''s situation was extremely bad.


    During this time, the Bo family''s businesses had been robbing the Su family of their list.


    He was originally a competitor, but now he felt like he was going to die.


    Even the Gu Clan was affected.


    Although the Gu family was older than the Su family, the two families were in-laws, so some relationships were unbreakable in business.


    Seeing that the Gu family and the Su family were getting out of hand, Su Ran''s father couldn''t withstand the pressure from the board of directors and asked him to think of a solution.


    Su Ran''s father thought about what the thin cultivator had said that day and wanted Su Ran to apologize to him. Otherwise, the Su Clan might really be defeated.


    When Gu Nan found out that the Gu Clan was only affected because of Su Ran, he was especially irritated. At the same time, he thought of the same method that Su Ran''s father had used.


    That was, he wanted Su Ran to apologize to her.


    Previously, they were able to make money together, so there was no reason for them to fight to the death now.


    "What did you say?" You want me to apologize to her? On what basis? " When Su Ran heard that Gu Nan had told her to apologize to Bo Xiu, her expression darkened.


    "If it wasn''t for you, the Gu Clan wouldn''t have any problems!" Gu Nan had an impatient expression on his face. Recently, he had been under a lot of pressure and had been forced by the board of directors to resolve this issue.


    "It''s not like I''m wrong, I won''t go!" Su Ran yelled, "I was right! That bitch, Qiao Chun An, should die!"


    Su Ran''s expression was one of hysteria. Back then, she should have killed Qiao Chuan instead of having her hands destroyed.


    While the two of them were arguing, Su Ran''s parents also came over.


    Su Ran looked at her parents and thought that she had met someone who would help her. She didn''t expect that they would be the ones who made her even more crazy.


    "Of course, go and apologize to my father. My father''s company won''t be able to hold on any longer." Su Ran''s mother had a haggard expression on her face, but her expression was still gentle. "You also don''t want the Su Clan to disappear just like this right? That was your father''s hard work."


    "NO!" No! I won''t go. " Su Ran felt powerless in her heart. However, she did not agree to go. She would not lose face in front of Qiao Chun An.


    That would be worse than killing her.


    "You must go!" Gu Nan wasn''t in the mood to comfort Su Ran. He was currently upset about what had happened in the company, so his words were very fierce.


    "You have to go. If you don''t resolve this matter, we''ll get a divorce!" Back then, Gu Nan had chosen Su Ran aside from the Su Clan because he was Qiao Chuan''s best friend. He wanted to use Su Ran to insult Qiao Chun An.


    If the Gu Clan were to be affected by Su Ran, his own position would not be stable and this could not happen to him.


    Hearing Gu Nan''s words, Su Ran''s face was filled with disbelief, while Su Ran''s parents had ugly expressions on their faces.


    "What did you say?" Su Ran stepped forward and beat Gu Nan up, but was pushed away by Gu Nan. With a fierce expression, he said, "If you don''t apologize, then we''ll get a divorce!"


    Su Ran was frightened by Gu Nan''s words and went crazy, but he was restrained by her mother.


    When his mood stabilized, Su Ran''s mother tried to persuade him. Su Ran finally decided to apologize to Xiao Xiu Nong.


    Gu Nan had left a message for Su Ran''s parents to persuade him.


    The next day, Qiao Chunan was brought by his parents to the GM company. He found the emaciated Siren and wanted to make his daughter apologize so that he could let the Su Clan go.


    "Xiu Nan, it was uncle''s fault that day. After you left, we taught Su Ran a lesson. Now, bring her here and apologize to you." When Su Ran''s father entered the office, he felt the cold atmosphere of the office making him blush.


    "Do you think we can go back to the way we were?"


    This was the first time he had been forced to such a state.


    But it was impossible not to come over and apologize to her, unless he didn''t want the Sioux Family.


    "Is that so?" He put down the heavy pen and looked up, his hands on the desk, his long fingers drumming on the table.


    "As long as Su Ran kneels and admits his wrongs to Qiao Chunan, I won''t deal with your Su family." When they found him, he was busy dealing with the documents. As he looked at the family of three that had appeared in his office, a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes.

 C67

    "Impossible!" Su Ran immediately pushed away her mother''s hand when he heard what she said. His eyes were bloodshot. It would be impossible for her to kneel down and apologize to Qiao Chuan An in this lifetime!


    Su Ran''s words were within his expectations. With Su Ran''s stubborn personality, he didn''t want her to appear in front of Qiao Chu An again.


    "That bitch Qiao Chunan!"


    When Su Ran said those words, Su Ran''s mother immediately covered her mouth. The emaciated face of the empress was still reserved and cold, but the air seemed to have become colder by a little.


    "Then forget it." Xiuran lowered his head and continued with his work, completely ignoring the three in front of him.


    "Xiu Nan, if we expel Su Ran from the Su Clan, do you think we can be magnanimous and spare the Su Clan?" The Su Clan was already at the end of their rope. When Su Ran''s father said this, he didn''t even look at Su Ran.


    On the other hand, when Su Ran heard this, she had a crazed expression, "Dad, you want to kick me out of the Su Clan?"


    If she was kicked out of the Su Clan, Gu Nan would definitely not take her!


    "Director Su, I''m not someone who would ruin other people''s family relationships. Why would you think that I would let the Su Clan off just because you expelled Su Ran from the Su Clan?"


    After hearing what Su Ran''s father had said, Bo Xiushan''s pupils constricted slightly. However, the expression on his face didn''t change at all, and even his voice remained unchanged.


    "If there''s nothing else, I won''t keep you." Su Ran''s father didn''t look too good after sending out the order, but he didn''t dare to stay for long.


    When the three of them arrived at the office, they only spoke a few words before being asked to leave by the secretary.


    "Of course, you better think about it carefully, don''t fight with us later." After being chased out of the office, Su Ran''s father looked at Su Ran with a sinister gaze. Su Ran''s mother''s expression, on the other hand, was as gentle as ever.


    He rubbed Su Ran''s head and said gently, "Your father is angry. Let''s go home after you think it through."


    Just like that, Su Ran was left at the GM company''s entrance.


    Su Ran looked at the back view of his parents with a crazed look in his eyes.


    What happened here, Qiao Chun An didn''t know at all. She was seriously studying the content of the exam.


    A week after his hand was injured, the Judicial Exam began.


    Qiao Chuan An brought everyone''s expectations towards her into the examination hall.


    Although his injuries weren''t completely healed yet, there was no problem at all for him to take the exam.


    As for the hospital, when his hands were ready to move, he was discharged.


    Lin Hanxia even gave Qiao Chuan a small dust cleansing feast at home, but of course she didn''t invite the emollient.


    After what had happened recently, Qiao Chao An''s impression of Xi Xiu Lan became more and more complicated. He wanted to get close to her, but his logic was telling him to keep his distance.


    He was at a loss.


    But even so, her review of the matter did not come to an end.


    The Judicial Exam was usually held on a weekend, so Qiao Chunan did not ask anyone to accompany her. After all, she was already so old, so she had to do her own things.


    After finishing his Judicial Exam, Jojouan went to work on Monday.


    The company knew that Jocelyn''s hand was injured and did not assign much work to her.


    Knowing that Qiao Chuan An had come back to work that day, Xiu Yin also came to the CEO''s office early in the morning.


    Qiao Chunan did not know that the thin one came early because of him. He met the thin one yesterday and greeted him with a smile.


    She owed a lot to Xi Qiulin now, so the method she used to use to get away definitely wouldn''t work.


    "How was the exam yesterday?"


    He turned his gaze to Qiao Chuan. There was a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes were curved. The words he spoke were also very clear and gentle. "Well done, I''ve studied them all."


    When it came to his specialization, Qiao Chunan''s eyes lit up, but he did not show any modesty.


    Seeing Qiao Chunan''s confident smile, Xiuran also chuckled, "It seems like my eyes were not wrong back then!"


    "I still need to write more about Mr. Bo''s clairvoyance." Jojouan listened to the thin smile, his ears slightly red, not obvious.


    The two of them walked out of the elevator and headed towards their respective offices.


    Not long after, there was some noise coming from outside the corridor.


    Qiao Chuan ignored the noise outside. However, when he went to fetch the water, he was startled by a "splash" sound.


    "Chu An, I''m sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me." The sound that came from the gaps between his teeth made goosebumps appear all over Qiao Chuan An''s body.


    He lowered his head and looked at the person kneeling in front of him. His long hair covered his face and he raised his head to look at Su Ran''s parents who were standing beside the girl.


    "Su Ran, why are you kneeling here?" There was no relief on Qiao Chuan''s face from the revenge he had received. On the contrary, he was rather irritated.


    Su Ran was such a person. He didn''t know what kind of person she was in the past, but after she betrayed him, he definitely knew what kind of person she was.


    If he were to kneel in front of her now, he might be able to think of other vicious methods to bring misfortune to her in the future.


    Rubbing his brows, Qiao Chu An took a step back and said to Su Ran''s parents, "Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, you two still help Su Ran up. What''s going on with him kneeling in this company?"


    "Chu An, I know you''ve always been very obedient. As long as you forgive Su Ran, she''ll get up immediately." Su Ran''s mother looked at Qiao Chunan with a gentle expression, waiting for his answer.


    "Let her get up." Although he had told her to get up, it was impossible to forgive what Su Ran had done to her.


    Not to mention the betrayal of the past, just this time, she couldn''t forgive him.


    "Of course, get up. Chu An will forgive you." When Su Ran''s mother heard Qiao Chunan''s words, she immediately pulled Su Ran up and advised with a warm expression, "Don''t blame your father and the others. They are also helpless."


    When Su Ran was forced to kneel before Qiao Chuan An, the string he was holding in his heart broke. His lips were about to bleed and his face looked extremely ugly under the cover of his hair.


    "I won''t let you off!" Su Ran raised his head. His scarlet eyes gave others a terrifying look.


    With these words, Su Ran pushed aside the crowd and ran out.


    At this moment, the thin shaman in the office also came out.


    Looking at Su Ran''s back, the corners of his mouth twitched. He turned to Qiao Chu An and asked, "How do you want to deal with Su Ran?"


    "I don''t know." In Qiao Chunan''s mind, he was still recalling the look that Qiao Chunan had given her. He was stunned. He did not know what to do.


    She definitely hated Su Ran, but she did not know how to deal with her.


    "Xiu Nan, look, Su Ran also apologized to Qiao Chuan An. Can the Su family be magnanimous?" While the two of them were speaking, Su Ran''s father walked out from the crowd.


    His expression was somewhat gloomy, but when he looked at Xiuran, a smile appeared on his face, "We have advised this child for a long time. Now that we have succeeded, I hope that you can do it."


    "I understand. I''ll temporarily stop with the matter of the Su Clan."


    "Why is it temporary?" When Su Ran''s father heard the word ''temporarily'', his expression darkened.


    "How do you know about what happened in the mall?" "What do you want?" the thin cultivator asked, immediately taking back Su Ran''s father''s words.


    The two of them did not talk much before Su Ran''s father left.


    After Suran''s father left, Jojouan went to the CEO''s office with Pershunn.


    He told her about her hand injury, saying that Su Ran had bought it and hurt her.


    Hearing her words, George knew exactly why Su Ran had knelt down to apologize to her.


    It must have been made by a thin bell.

 C68

    After Su Ran came to apologize to her, Qiao Chun An''s heart was filled with mixed feelings, but it did not affect her work.


    On the other side, after Su Ran knelt down to apologize to Qiao Chuan An, his entire mental state collapsed.


    Su Ran had a perverted jealousy of Qiao Chunan ever since Gu Nan''s arrival. Now that she knelt down in front of Qiao Chunan, her original intention of bringing him to the ground completely collapsed.


    During the day, he was suspicious and suspicious, but during the night, he kept arguing so loudly that Gu Nan had no way to sleep.


    Seeing Su Ran like this, Gu Nan was very annoyed. Wasn''t it just kneeling down and apologizing to Qiao Chunan?


    Why did his heart become like this?


    If Su Ran were to continue like this, he would have no way of dealing with Qiao Chunan!


    When Gu Nan saw Su Ran like this at home, he became more and more reluctant to go home and often played outside.


    But now that Su Ran''s mental state was off, he didn''t care what Gu Nan was up to if he didn''t come back.


    Su Ran was in trouble, but no one cared about her.


    The thin cultivator said that he was temporarily not going to deal with the Su Clan. Although his current methods were not as fierce as his methods from before, every day, he would still give the people of the Su Clan a lot of things to do.


    He didn''t have the time to care about Su Ran.


    Plus, this matter was caused by Su Ran in the first place.


    Gu Nan no longer had Su Ran''s questions, but he found that his desire for Qiao Chuan''s possession was growing stronger and stronger.


    Especially after that day in the utility room, he even dreamed of Jojouan for a few nights.


    In the past when he was with Qiao Chunan, it was too late for him to hate her. Now, he still hated her, but he wanted to get Qiao Chunan.


    Gu Nan was used to bearing with his thoughts, so he sent someone to follow Qiao Chuan, wanting to find out his route.


    Qiao Chunan did not know Gu Nan''s thoughts and continued working as usual.


    However, because of the injury to his hand, he had become much more vigilant.


    After saying goodbye, Qiao Chu An got on the bus.


    Looking out of the window, he saw that it was the van from yesterday.


    For the past few days, Qiao Chu An had been feeling that someone was following her.


    However, even if she wanted to, she would not be able to find it. At the same time, she did not dare to find it either. After all, she knew very well that her martial power was of value.


    His hands had yet to fully recover, and his battle prowess was completely trash.


    She wanted to tell Lin Hanyi, but she felt that after she told him, she just needed to worry about her, and there was no way to solve this problem.


    After three days, Qiao Chuan called the police.


    But the police had found nothing, and there was nothing to be done but to tell Jocelyn to try not to be alone.


    He knew that the police were doing their best.


    After all, she only felt that someone was following her and there were no suspects, so it was impossible for the police to send someone to protect her.


    "Qiao Chuan An, I''ve been looking at you absentmindedly. Has something happened?" When Qiao Chunan asked the thin Shura to sign, he asked casually.


    Hearing this, Qiao Chunan raised his eyes and thought for a moment. He decided that he would discuss this with her.


    "Mr. Bo, I have a feeling that someone has been following me recently. But after the police called, they didn''t find out anything. "


    "Someone is following you? Why didn''t you tell me earlier that I would arrange for someone to protect you? " Hearing that someone was following Qiao Chuan An, a trace of darkness flashed across the eyes of the thin cultivator.


    "Will this be too troublesome for Mr. Bo?" Qiao Chuan lowered his head slightly and looked at the documents on the desk. His fingers curled and his heart gradually calmed down.


    It was as if there was some difficult matter that could be solved by talking to the thin Shura.


    "No way, I have to come home to spend the weekend with him. He''s been wanting to come over to see you." The corners of the thin cultivator''s mouth slightly raised as he said with a smile, "I have never seen An An so fond of someone."


    "Yes." Qiao Chunan received the documents and acknowledged the order. Then, he walked outside.


    The thin Xiuran looked at Qiao Chunan''s back. A complex expression flashed across his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.


    After work, Qiao Chuan felt that he had lost the feeling of being spied on by others a few days ago, and his heart felt a lot more comfortable.


    On the other side, Gu Nan''s face darkened when he received the news that he had arranged a stalker for Qiao Chunan, saying that they had no way of doing this business.


    "Gu Nan, where are you going?" Gu Nan wanted to go out and relieve his frustration, but he was stopped by Su Ran, who was sitting in the living room with his hair in a mess.


    Su Ran''s hair was loose and her voice was cold. She continued to give the chilly night a sinister feeling.


    "Who cares where I go!" Gu Nan slammed the door and left. Su Ran raised his head and looked at Gu Nan''s back with bloodshot eyes. At the same time, his hatred towards Qiao Chun An had reached its peak.


    He wished he could rip out Qiao Chuan''s skin and pull out his tendons.


    Qiao Chu An didn''t know Su Ran''s hatred for him. Even if he did, he wouldn''t care.


    That day, Su Ran kneeled down to her. She already knew that Su Ran wouldn''t let her off so easily.


    Of course, she did not plan on letting Su Ran go.


    At the end of the week, Qiao Chuan informed Lin Hanyue and went to the Bo family''s villa.


    This time, the trip to the Bo family''s mansion was the same as usual. The two adults were playing with An An, and Old Master Bo was also being beaten by the police.


    This weekend was just like the three generations of their ancestors.


    In the late afternoon, when the thin elmer offered to send Jojouan away, Jojouan did not refuse.


    She didn''t know if there were any more people following her, but if she went alone, she would be courting death.


    They did not speak along the way, but the atmosphere between them was very strange. It made the air around them seem much thinner.


    When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he was about to get out of the car, his hand on the handle, but he put it down and turned his head to look at the people around him.


    "Mr. Bo, can I ask you a question?" Qiao Chuan''s fingers curled up slightly. His heart beat faster and his eyelashes trembled.


    Seeing the look on Qiao Chun An''s face, Bo Xiuniang chuckled and caressed his head. His face was as cold as ice, causing Qiao Chun An to be a little dazed. "Go ahead, I will speak my mind."


    The warmth that came from the top of his head caused him to dodge to the side, but the blush on his face still crept up.


    "Mr. Bo, I don''t know why you treat me so well. You always say that I''m your employee and that''s how it should be done, but I always feel that I owe you more and more. "


    Qiao Chunan''s eyelashes fluttered as he avoided the line of sight of the thin elementalist. He looked towards the pendant on the carriage, but from the corner of his eyes, he was constantly paying attention to the thin elementalist''s expression.


    "What do you mean, a man is good to a woman?"


    "I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?" Xi Xiuran had not intended to confess, but he could tell that a lot of things had happened to Qiao Chuan these days. He desperately needed a sense of security right now.

 C69

    If his answers were ambiguous, it was very likely that all his efforts would have been in vain.


    "I didn''t intend to confess today, but I was afraid you would think too much." The thin Xiuran looked at the pink tips of Qiao Chuanan''s ears. Just as his hand touched them, he was immediately pushed away.


    At the same time, Qiao Chunan pushed open the door and got out of the car.


    The night wind was blowing, and the ambiguous feeling in the narrow space was dispersed by the wind.


    "Chu An, you have not answered my confession." He got out of the car at Jocelyn''s, followed by the meniscus.


    His slender figure looked exceptionally long under the dim yellow light of the street lamp.


    Hearing the name of the empress, Qiao Chuan was stunned. Since when did the empress not call her Miss Qiao?


    It seemed to have happened after the time when Old Master Bo was hospitalized.


    All sorts of thoughts and emotions surged in Qiao Chunan''s mind.


    "I, I don''t know." He opened his mouth, but in the end could only say this, and ran upstairs.


    Seeing Qiao Chuan An run upstairs, the thin Xiu Nang''s lips slightly curled up, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.


    At this moment, Qiao Chuan who was running back home was gasping for breath while leaning against the wall.


    "What''s wrong with you?" Is there a vicious dog chasing from behind? " Lin Hanxue, who was playing on a flat surface in the living room, saw Qiao Chunan''s expression and couldn''t help but tease, "Could it be that the peach blossoms are here? Are you hiding from the peach blossoms?"


    "You, how did you know?" Qiao Chunan''s breathing was slow, he couldn''t help but look at her after hearing Lin Hanyue''s words, his bright eyes staring at her.


    "Of course, I guessed it. Otherwise, how could I have figured it out by pinching my fingers?" Seeing that, Lin Hanxue put down the plate and walked over to Qiao Chuan. She reached out her hand to scratch Qiao Chuan''s itchy meat. "Who is it after all?"


    "It can''t be a dilapidated demon, right?"


    "Xiaoxiao, could it be that your ancestors were fortune-tellers?"


    The two of them teased each other for a while before collapsing onto the sofa.


    Lin Hanxiao gossiped, "Why did you want to confess?"


    "I was the one who asked. I just wanted to know why he treated me so well. Who knew that he would directly confess?" A hint of regret flashed across Qiao Chuan''s face.


    "Don''t we all know he''s interested in you? You really did go with the flow. " Lin Hanxiao didn''t know what to say to Qiao Chun An.


    "Xiaoxiao, do you think I should accept or reject?" George was lying on the sofa, looking at the chandelier on the ceiling. His voice was full of confusion.


    She liked him a little from the bottom of her heart, but she didn''t want to date or mess with such a troublesome person.


    "Regardless of whether you accept or reject it, I think that it''s impossible for me to let go of my hand just like that." Lin Hanyue only had to see her a few times to know her character, not to mention the people who had been with her for almost half a year.


    She was more aware of her personality.


    Whether she refused or accepted it, he would not give up.


    But she didn''t have the heart to date at the moment.


    "I know that too." Qiao Chuan mumbled a sentence as his mind was in a mess.


    Qiao Chunan''s emotions became even more complicated by the confession, she had thought about everything that had happened in the past few days.


    Even though she was advised by Lin Hanyi, she knew that she was actually moved.


    However, he lacked the courage to move forward.


    Her courage seemed to have been used up that day when she was being selected as a commodity.


    Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, when the Elementalist sent Qiao Chunan home, he saw that Bo Anjin was waiting for him at home.


    "An An, why aren''t you asleep yet?" Tatiana picked him up and the father and son went upstairs.


    "Is Auntie Qiao home yet?" He had been spending a lot of time with Qiao Chunan recently, so he felt that his days were very happy. The happiness on his face made people feel very happy.


    "Yes, I''m home." He placed Bo Anjin on the bed and covered him with a blanket. After thinking for a moment, he decided to ask for help, "Today, I confessed to your Aunt Qiao, but she didn''t answer me."


    "Oh." At first, Bo Anjin didn''t react, but after thinking for a while, he finally understood the meaning behind his father''s words. He immediately jumped up from the bed, "You''re saying that you wanted Auntie Qiao to be my mother, but she refused?"


    "She didn''t refuse. She should still be considering if you can help me tomorrow so Aunt Qiao can be your mother."


    When Bo Xiuran heard the rejection from Bo Anjin, his brows furrowed. How could he possibly allow such an answer?


    "Yes, I want Auntie Qiao to be my mother."


    The next day was Sunday. When he played with Bo Anjin yesterday, he promised to come over today.


    Before leaving, Qiao Chun An''s heart was tangled. She knew that today, she would have to give an answer, but she did not want to go.


    However, she didn''t want to go back on her promise to An Ran.


    Lin Hanxue sat on the sofa and watched Qiao Chun An fiddle with the things in his hands. She was a bit disappointed, so she grabbed the things in her hands to help her put on her makeup.


    "It''s just like usual. Why are you so conflicted?" "Although I feel that there''s something wrong with this person, but since you can''t avoid it, you should face it."


    Lin Hanxia quickly made up Qiao Chu An''s makeup, pushed her out the door, crawled back onto the bed and continued sleeping.


    Qiao Chunan, who had been pushed to the door, shook his head. He suppressed the mixed feelings in his heart and walked towards the mansion with a slight smile on his face.


    This time, she didn''t even get to the Bo family''s villa when she saw two figures, one big and one small, waiting outside the door.


    George''s heart was beating fast, especially when he saw those two.


    The sun was a bit warm, and the wind that blew past his ears sounded somewhat intoxicating.


    "What do you think about what happened last night?" As the family of three walked into the living room, Shuren Burg turned his head to look at Joachim. His voice was a little hoarse, causing one''s ears to itch.


    Hearing her words, Bo Anjin stopped holding Qiao Chunan''s hand and looked up at Qiao Chunan, "Auntie Qiao, just agree to daddy. Daddy said he likes you, and you told me last time that as long as we like each other, you can be my mother."


    "Auntie Qiao, you must like my dad too, right?" Bo Anjin''s eyes were filled with desire, "Aunt Qiao, I want you to be my mother."


    "Then I''ll have a mother."


    Qiao Chunan lowered his head and stroked Bo Anjin''s head. If he refused, there was no way for him to say it.


    She dared not and could not say directly that she did not like the dilemmas.


    Some people don''t really like it because they don''t tell you I don''t like it.


    She was fond of meniscus.

 C70

    Not only because of his help during this period of time, but also because of his charm that made people like him.


    She was also a normal person, and for such an outstanding person, she did not like him much.


    However, Lin Hanxiao''s words were very true. She didn''t have the experience of liking others, and he might have confessed to her for other reasons.


    All sorts of thoughts ran through his mind, but he still couldn''t beat the childish words of Bo Anjin. "Then I''ll have a mother."


    "Well, I like your dad."


    "Really?" The pleasant surprise on Bo Anjin''s face was very obvious. He turned around and hugged the empress''s thigh, happily saying, "Daddy, did you hear? Aunt Qiao agreed to be my mother!"


    "Yes, I heard." A trace of happiness flashed through the thin cultivator''s eyes. His expression also softened a lot. He reached out his hand to caress Qiao Chuan An''s head and gently said, "Then, girlfriend, please advise me in the future."


    Qiao Chuan An lowered his head, the blush on his neck spreading to his face. Slowly, it climbed up to the tip of his ears. From the blush, he spoke up in a low voice. "Yes."


    Bo Anjin skipped into the living room. When he saw his great-grandfather, he immediately told him about the news.


    As for the person who was holding out his hand, he held out his hand and held Qiao Chunan''s hand. The smooth texture of his hand caused the expression in the man''s eyes to deepen a bit.


    Just as the two of them were about to step into the living room, Xi Xiuran lightly kissed Qiao Chunan''s cheek. When Qiao Chunan looked over, he walked forward with a serious expression.


    Qiao Chunan was half a step slower. He reached out his hand to touch the warmth on his cheek. It was as if he could still feel the strong aura of the Xiu Nu around him.


    Old Man Bo saw that the atmosphere of the two people who walked in was different from before. Thus, he didn''t say anything, but his gaze towards the thin elementalist had an additional hint of warning.


    He truly thought that this kid, Qiao Chuan An, was not bad and hoped that his grandson would not bully others.


    Qiao Chunan felt that something was not right throughout the day, but when he saw the smile on Bo Anjin''s face, he slowly suppressed the awkwardness.


    The two of them got along with each other in an ambiguous and warm way that they normally wouldn''t.


    The next day, Qiao Chuan went to work at Shanghua Entertainment and found out that he had transferred back to GM Corporation''s Ministry of Justice from Shanghua Entertainment''s legal department.


    Although Shanghua Entertainment and GM Corporation were in the same building, there was still some distance between them.


    In the past, it used to take a long corridor to find the thin one, but now it only took two or three minutes to do so.


    The GM Corporation''s legal department was not far from the CEO''s office.


    After all, the work involved a lot of legal matters, and the office of the head of the department was closer.


    After hearing this news, Qiao Chun An''s heart was filled with mixed feelings. She was too close to the empress.


    However, going to GM Corporation''s legal department would definitely have more contact with content than Shanghua Entertainment, making it easier for them to engage in commercial disputes.


    The Gu family''s matter against the Qiao family was an economic dispute.


    Knowing that this matter was beneficial to him, even though he was feeling conflicted, he decided to complete the task at hand. He prepared to go to GM Corporation''s Legal Department to take over the job once the transfer was completed.


    Not long after she arrived at the office, she received a call from Shen Lin.


    "Hello, Shen Lin, is something the matter?"


    "I heard that you confessed to Qiao Chunan. And you succeeded?" Shen Lin''s teasing tone was heard from the other side, but it was soon replaced by a tone of integrity. "What are your thoughts on Qiao Chunan?"


    They were well aware of their brothers'' personalities, but even if they were, there were still some things that they couldn''t figure out.


    "I don''t know either." The thin cultivator rubbed his brows, his voice as indifferent as before.


    He didn''t know what to do either.


    He could not possibly have left him.


    Upon hearing the answer, Shen Lin could only slightly sigh.


    He knew some things about the thin elementalist, but he didn''t know what he was thinking.


    Moreover, matters of the heart were not something that could be done as you wished.


    After the two chatted for a while, the thin cultivator thought about what Qiao Chuan An mentioned about Shen Lin and Shangguan Lan and casually asked, "That''s right, how is the matter between you and Shangguan Lan recently?"


    Hearing this question, Shen Lin''s mouth twitched. He was a little annoyed, but he didn''t know what to say.


    In any case, even if he did, he wouldn''t be able to help.


    With Xiuran''s EQ, his secret crush would definitely be blown away.


    He felt that Guan Lan was interested in him. However, as she got closer, she started to retreat again. This sort of feeling was extremely troublesome.


    She had the feeling that she was hanging off her feet.


    There was no doubt that he liked her, and at the same time there was a sense of irritation in his heart.


    He felt that Shangguan Lan was intentionally approaching him, but even if she was approaching him on purpose, he didn''t want to give up.


    Because then he was closer to her.


    He fell in love with her at first sight. He knew then that there was no one else in the world who would make him feel that way.


    Regarding Shen Lin''s feelings, Xiuran had only asked a single question.


    Emotions were like water for a person to drink. It was a warm, cold, and self-aware feeling.


    "What else could it be? Just like that. But you can''t let Official Lan wear small shoes like that." Afraid that his good friend would vent his anger, Shen Lin instructed.


    "Guan Jinglan is the bandit for Shanghua Entertainment. Do you think that I would wear small shoes just for you?"


    "It''s good that you don''t know."


    "I''m hanging up. Don''t look for me for something like that in the future!" There was a cold look in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.


    Everyone had their own paths to follow. He had advised Shen Lin before, but what would happen in the end was none of his business.


    He worked in the office, and he worked hard to finish some of the work he had left behind the previous week.


    At the same time, he spent a day or two to complete the handover. After it was completed, he prepared to go to the GM Corporation''s Legal Department to go through the procedures for entering the office.


    As for what he was thinking, he didn''t care. They were lovers now, but that didn''t mean she had to know everything.


    There were some things that had to be separated.


    After he was done with what he had on hand, he went to the GM Corporation''s legal department to take over the job.


    After the admission procedures were completed, he was brought by the Minister to his own seat in the Ministry of Justice.


    On his first day in the Ministry of Justice, he was made a nuisance of by his colleagues in the Ministry of Justice.

 C71

    "Chu An, your position is here. Someone will arrange for you to work here." The department manager who had brought Qiao Chuan in led him to a seat before leaving.


    His colleague saw that George had sat down near the door and whispered into his ear.


    "I really don''t know how a person who didn''t even get a judicial certificate could enter GM."


    "Who cares how others enter the Ministry of Justice. It is a type of ability when others enter."


    "Humph, that''s true. Having a good background is also a type of ability. I just don''t know if it will drag us down!"


    "Lower your voice. Stop talking and get back to work. There are still a lot of things to do!"


    The members of the legal department of GM''s headquarters all knew some basic information about Qiao Chuan An.


    They even knew that when he hadn''t gotten his proof of justice, everyone was even more unfriendly towards him because of this.


    This was because they had gone through many selections before entering the GM''s Legal Department.


    However, a rookie like Qiao Chuan who had yet to obtain a judicial certificate was able to move from a subsidiary like Shanghua Entertainment to the GM Corporation''s Ministry of Justice.


    This made everyone feel that it was unfair, so no one was satisfied with Qiao Chuan''s arrival at the Ministry of Justice.


    For one person, everyone hoped that she could lighten their burdens. However, for a rookie that didn''t understand many things, they would have more things to do.


    It was not because they despised newbies, but because they felt that Qiao Chuan An did not have the ability to stay in the GM company''s legal department.


    The company had a lot of things to do, and they did not want to return to the job that Qiao Chuan An did. It was a waste of everyone''s lives.


    Qiao Chuan knew that if he were to enter a new place, he would definitely be challenged.


    She also knew that there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in GM''s headquarters.


    It was a very normal thing for a rookie to be troubled.


    And she knew her own capabilities, but the people at the company didn''t. They would think that way, and she could understand that.


    When Qiao Chunan arrived at the legal department that was not far from the president''s office, he knew what was going on. At the same time, he saw Qiao Chunan standing alone inside the office.


    Seeing that she was being made difficult for him, Xiuran''s heart was filled with an indescribable sense of frustration.


    He didn''t want to see Qiao Chunan being made difficult, so he wanted to help her. She was his girlfriend now, there were some things that he needed his help with.


    However, thinking of the stubbornness on Qiao Chuan''s face, he felt that it would be better to ask for Qiao Chuan himself.


    When Jocelyn sent the documents to the office. "Do you need my help with these things?"


    Hearing the question, Qiao Chuan An raised his head and looked from the CEO''s office to the Ministry of Justice. He could see his own position and felt his heart warm up. He shook his head and said, "No need, I can do it myself."


    Qiao Chao An wanted to prove that she didn''t come by the back door, but that she was truly talented.


    This kind of proof was not something that Baoshu could help her with.


    Besides, she would have to work in the Ministry of Justice in the future. If everyone knew about her relationship with Persephone, how could she work with others in the future?


    Seeing the confidence on his face, Xiuran didn''t say anything and just let her go.


    He had to acknowledge Qiao Chuan''s ability.


    He dropped what he wanted to prove, but there was still a lot of pressure on him.


    A few days later, Qiao Chuan successfully obtained the judicial certificate.


    The relationship with her colleagues had eased a little, and after all, she had proven herself to be talented.


    Not long after Qiao Chunan obtained the judicial certificate, Shao Yishuo was preparing to return to his hometown.


    While he was overseas, Shao Yishuo received Qiao Chuan''s contact number.


    When he returned home, he called Jojouan.


    "Hey, Chu An, I''m back."


    After receiving Shao Yishuo''s call, Qiao Chuan''s face revealed a sincere joy, "Do you need us to go and give you a welcoming reception?" "Right, are you still going abroad?"


    Qiao Chuan had heard a bit about Shao Yishuo''s return to the country to set up a law firm.


    "I don''t know. Chu An, do you want to come to my office for an internship when I return home?" Shao Yishuo''s voice was full of smiles as he said, "You should have more work experience since you have the judicial certificate."


    Obtaining a judicial certificate required some necessary internships.


    Knowing that Shao Yishuo''s ability was strong, Qiao Chu was a bit tempted. Especially with the company''s high intensity work, she felt that she was not used to it.


    "I have a job now. I''ll go ask my boss."


    After handing over the documents, Qiao Chuan mentioned to him, "Mr. Bo, he has returned home. I would like to go to his office for an internship."


    "Why do you still call me Mr. Bo?" Bo Xiuniang''s hand that was holding the pen paused for a moment. Hearing the way Qiao Chunan addressed her and then thinking about the way she addressed Shao Yishuo, her face darkened and she raised her head, "Aren''t we boyfriend and girlfriend?


    "Mm, oh. "I want to go to Shao Yishuo''s law office as an internship. That way, when I come back, I can take care of the company''s work."


    The company''s people were very busy, so no one brought Qiao Chunan. If he went to Shao Yishuo''s office, it would be different.


    "Yes." After hearing Qiao Chuan An''s address, Bo Xiuran''s face became less dark, but his mood did not improve at all. He refused Qiao Chuan''s request, "No, you can get an internship at GM Company. You don''t need to go to Shao Yishuo''s office."


    "You went to Shao Yishuo''s office. Do you think you can ever come back?"


    This question was very realistic, the company would not leave her with a position.


    "Oh, I know." When Jojouan heard this, he understood.


    After picking up the documents, he turned around and returned to his office.


    After Qiao Chunan left, the thin cultivator gave Shao Yishuo a call.


    "Shao Yishuo, what''s the meaning of this? Jocelyn is one of my people. " Xi Xiuran was very clear about Shao Yishuo''s playful personality. Since he had invited him, he must have had some thoughts about Qiao Chuan An.


    "When will you change your habit of poaching?"


    "Pui!" What did I dig! Aren''t you men and women! If that''s the case, then I definitely have the right to pursue it! " When Shao Yishuo heard that he was digging, he became somewhat unhappy.


    If he really wanted to dig, he would have done so long ago.


    "I wasn''t a couple last time, but now I am." Xiuran pursed his lips, his voice somewhat cold, "She is now mine!"

 C72

    The corner of Shao Yishuo''s mouth curled into a bitter smile when he heard what she said.


    It was only recently that he felt it. He had also been thinking for a long time about whether he should pursue Qiao Chuan or not.


    He could see that his brother''s love for Jocelyn was not so pure, but now that he knew they were together, he did not think of continuing.


    One had to know that the wall around the thin shaman was not easy to dig, and it was also very easy to get into trouble. Besides, he didn''t like Qiao Chuan that much.


    Much of his liking for her was based on her talent.


    Joachim left the office and thought for a moment. At GM, her ability had also increased by a lot.


    After thinking it through, Qiao Chuan told Shao Yishuo that he was going to make a call.


    There was an apologetic tone in Qiao Chuan''s voice, "Yishuo, I''m sorry, but I can''t come over. I''m doing pretty well at GM now. "


    "It''s fine. You can''t come over. Just stay at GM company. Although the people there aren''t as good as me, there are still some who are truly talented."


    When Qiao Chu An heard this, he couldn''t help but smile. Listening to Shao Yishuo''s words made him feel quite happy.


    As he looked through the window, he knew that Jojouan was calling him to refuse. He felt overjoyed.


    Shao Yishuo heard Qiao Chunan''s rejection and felt somewhat helpless, but he did not say anything.


    "My invitation will be effective for a long time. If you can''t stay at GM, you can come to my office."


    "Yes, I will." Qiao Chuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Shao." With regards to Shao Yishuo''s invitation, Qiao Chunan felt somewhat happy in his heart. This was a form of acknowledgement of her ability.


    "Why should we be so polite!?" If there''s nothing else, then I''ll be the one dying. There''s plenty of stuff to do right now. "


    "There''s nothing else, you can help first."


    After hanging up the phone, Qiao Chunan began to work very seriously.


    Qin Dagang, on the other hand, had not been abroad for long before he had returned home.


    After getting off the plane late at night, he went to find Qiao Chuan An''s residence.


    Qiao Chunan''s contact information at Qin Guan''s office had been blocked.


    And Lin Hanxia wasn''t at home that night, so she went somewhere else to perform with the production team.


    There was a knock at the door, and George didn''t want to open it.


    She had been in this situation a few times, but the knocking only grew louder and louder, and the voices of the neighbors began to argue.


    "Can''t you be more quiet? We still need to go to work tomorrow."


    "It''s just that there''s no need to make such a ruckus. If you want to make a ruckus, go home and make a ruckus."


    "Qiao Chuan, open the door for me."


    The voice was really impatient. He comforted the phone in his hand and went to open the door.


    "Qin Guan, why have you come back?" Not long after knocking, Qiao Zheng An heard Qin Guan open the door. He didn''t want to open the door, but the sound of the neighbors made it impossible for him to hide inside the house.


    In the middle of the night, everyone was in a bad mood.


    "You even asked me how I came back? My life abroad was not easy. This is all your fault!"


    "You are so poor when you are out of the country, what does it have to do with me?" Qiao Chunan''s face was extremely unsightly. He blocked the door and did not let Qin Guan enter.


    What happened last time had put her on guard.


    The door had already been replaced, and it wouldn''t be broken like the last time.


    "How could it be none of your business? If it weren''t for you, would I have gone abroad?" Hearing Qiao Chunan''s words, Qin Guan''s expression became extremely ugly. He clenched his hand into a fist, and the veins on his fist bulged.


    With regards to the concern he had felt with Qin Guan, Qiao Chu An was completely let go this time. He spoke with a voice full of disgust, "Now you blame it on me." If you hadn''t treated me like that, you would have been afraid to go abroad. "


    His intention was to force himself, beat people, and force his way into a house. Which one of these wasn''t a crime?


    "You also study law. What crime did you commit, do you not know? " Qiao Chunan pointed to the door, not even bothering to look at Qin Guan, "Please leave my house."


    "You want me to leave your house? No way." Qin Guan had completely thrown away his usual gentleness and elegance. His entire body was wrapped in gloom, and the gaze he looked at Joachim An with was filled with deep-seated hatred.


    "If it wasn''t for you, I wouldn''t be like this right now. Why don''t you rely on me?"


    If she had relied on him, he would not have done such a thing that day; if she had relied on him, he would not have been jealous of her; if she had relied on him, he would not have come to this.


    "This is the difference between the two of us. I''ll never be able to rely on anyone. " Qiao Chun An heard the meaning behind her words and shook his head disappointedly. "You don''t consider me as an independent person at all."


    "Think of me as your appendage and let me be at your mercy!"


    "You''re farting." Qin Guan''s eyes were dark and fierce, spitting out saliva, "If you really think that way, why did you let me help you?"


    "Open the door for me, or else I won''t mind breaking in!"


    "What are you talking about? I didn''t even let him do anything for me. " Hearing this, Qiao Chuan retorted angrily, "I won''t let you in."


    "If you don''t let me in, I''ll argue so much that you won''t be able to stay here any longer!" Qin Zheng opened the door and beat it. The residents of the district began to curse.


    "If you keep making noise and make me lose sleep, I''ll call the police!"


    "Stop knocking!"


    The surrounding noise made Qiao Chuan''s face turn black. He held the phone in his hand and was prepared to call the police the moment Qin Lie made his move.


    The soundproofing effect of the building was limited to the rooms, and the sound of Qin Guan knocking on the door made everyone on the floor extremely unhappy.


    Everyone had to work the next day, so sleeping at night was very important.


    He had no choice but to open the door to Qin Guan''s room.


    After Qin Guan drove in, Qiao Chuan An took a step back.


    "Qin Creek, there are some things you can''t make any more mistakes on!"


    "Jojouan, how can you be a whore and build a memorial archway?" Qin Guan looked at the resistance on Qiao Chunan''s face. His eyes were bloodshot, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his entire face became extremely gloomy.


    "Qin Ku, you are insulting me!" Qiao Chun An''s expression was dark, and upon hearing Qin Guan''s words, it was as if his dignity had been trampled into smithereens.


    This was her senior brother who had been with her for close to ten years. He actually thought of her in such a way. No wonder he treated her that way back then!


    "Am I insulting you? Then tell me, how did you repay Mrs Qiao''s debts? " Mrs Qiao owed such a huge debt, how could a little girl like her, who didn''t know anything, pay it off?


    He did not dare to think about this at all.


    Especially since she had disappeared for nearly a year.


    "Don''t tell me you didn''t use any shameful methods. Did he sleep with someone? Have you accompanied a lot of people? " Qin Guan''s malicious words made Qiao Chunan''s face pale. While avoiding Qin Guan''s approach, he was also looking for an opportunity to call the police.


    Qin Guan opened the phone and saw Qiao Chuan''s actions. He extended his hand and tapped on the phone. Then, he directly called Qiao Chu An''s phone.


    The phone fell to the ground and shattered.

 C73

    "Where did you get that money?" You know very well that you''ve been caught in pain. " Qin Guan spoke maliciously as he fought with Qiao Chuan.


    Qiao Chunan was stunned by Qin Guan''s words. Taking advantage of the moment that Qiao Chunan was distracted, Qin Guan directly gripped Qiao Chunan''s wrist behind his back. Just as Qin Zhen was about to grab Qiao Chunan''s hands, a thin manicure appeared.


    After receiving the news that Qin Guan had left for the country, he rushed over. He knew that Qin Guan had a perverted obsession with Qiao Chunan.


    Moreover, he had ordered his men to make it difficult for Qin Guan to drive.


    "Qin Kuan, open it. Stop it right now!" The moment he saw Qin Guan attack Qiao Chunan, the thin cultivator stepped forward and punched Qin Guan.


    The two of them started to fight in the living room. Seeing this, Qiao Chu An took a step back and didn''t drag the emaciated empress down with him.


    Qin Guan was knocked to the ground by the protector, he raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, as he glared at Qiao Chun An.


    The corner of his mouth curved up in a sinister smile. He then turned around to look at the thin cultivator, and spoke with a sinister voice as he crawled up from hell, "Mister Bo, do you know who you are protecting?"


    "This woman is purely for money, but she is a person who is willing to do anything. Although Mrs. Qiao owed so much back then, how did she pay it off in one night? I don''t need to say anything more about this, do I? "


    Qin Guan''s eyes were filled with malice. He stood up shakily and looked at Qiao Chun An who was hiding at the side. The malicious smile on his face made people feel annoyed.


    "What has this got to do with you?" The thin cultivator frowned slightly, still protecting Qiao Chunan as before. He didn''t have any suspicions towards Qiao Chunan''s words, but instead said with a very cold tone.


    "Leave immediately. Otherwise the consequences are not something you can imagine. "


    The thin Xiuran didn''t take Qin Tai''s words to heart, but when Qiao Chuan heard his words, he felt a little disintegrated.


    His memories once again returned to five years ago.


    She would never forget the shame a man had left on her.


    He had originally thought that it would be five years of suffering, but now someone brought it up.


    "Heh, I don''t care about the consequences anymore!" Qin Lie staggered towards the door, and when he stepped out of the door, he turned his head to take a look.


    Seeing the unsightly expression on Qiao Chuan''s face, the darkness within Qin Guan''s heart gradually grew.


    He definitely wouldn''t let anyone else have someone he couldn''t get.


    He did not tell this story to her because he wanted her to leave, but because he wanted her to leave on her own accord.


    As long as he wasn''t with him, he had plenty of ways to deal with him.


    Of course, it would be even better if he left Jojouan!


    What kind of person was Qiao Chuan An? After being with him for so many years, he more or less understood him.


    The two understood Qin Zheng''s scheme, he said these words because he wanted to separate them.


    He knew what had happened five years ago, but he didn''t mind. However, he wanted to talk about how he had completely forgotten that memory five years ago. He was very embarrassed about this.


    But even if it was embarrassing, since Qin Guan had told her about it, she had to explain that she didn''t really want him to equate her with a woman who would do anything for money.


    No matter how embarrassing the matter was, she had never regretted it after five years.


    If she did it again, she would still do it.


    Because that was the only way she could pay off so much debt.


    "Sir, I have to tell you about this." The color of Qiao Chunan''s face had already completely disappeared, Qin Guan had a cold smile on his face, a faint trace of cold light flashing across his eyes.


    "But later."


    After a moment, the thin cultivator turned around and closed the door. Qin Si looked at the door that closed, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then walked down the stairs.


    Qin Guan had never thought that his actions today would completely cut off his career.


    Who would dare to trust a lawyer who had always been aware of breaking the law!


    Last time, seeing that Qin Guan had already left the country, he didn''t continue to target him. Unexpectedly, this time, Qin Guan came back to seek death.


    When the door was closed, Jojouan was already in the kitchen, missing a cup of hot water.


    He poured hot water into the cup and pushed it across the table.


    "Drink some water." He ruffled his hair, and the light in his eyes dimmed. His voice seemed to be drifting in and out of his head.


    "There are some things I don''t need to know." Seeing the look on Qiao Chuan An''s face, the thin Xiu Nang could not bear to do so. He extended his hand and grabbed Qiao Chun An''s hand.


    The warm sensation on his hand scared Qiao Chuan so much that he immediately retracted his hand.


    The slippery feeling that hadn''t disappeared for almost six years once again swept over him.


    She had spent five years of unforgettable pain, and once again, she had destroyed his spirit.


    "Sorry, conditioned reflex." Qiao Chu An raised his gaze, an apologetic smile on his face. "I was a little scared."


    "We''re lovers. Your privacy doesn''t need to be told to me." He put his hand down on the coffee table, and his voice was filled with an unspeakable warmth.


    "You have your own privacy."


    "Is that so?" "But I want to tell you."


    She didn''t believe in feelings.


    Even if he swore that he didn''t care right now, what about in the future, what if he got wind of it from someone else?


    Rather than saying it out loud, he might as well say it himself.


    At least when she said these words, she didn''t carry much emotion with her. If it were anyone else, she would have become the kind of person who was willing to do anything for money.


    "I used to be very happy, my mother loved me very much, and although I died a little earlier, my mother did not miss me. After that, dad was alone with me, and then I had a friend. "


    "Oh, right. There''s also a fiance who was engaged since he was young."


    This was the first time she had heard of her past from Jocelyn.


    "When I was still in the Qiao family, I was prepared to be a housewife." At this point, the corner of Qiao Chuan''s mouth revealed a hint of bitterness, but it quickly disappeared. "As a result, the Qiao family collapsed overnight."


    "Before I could react, the Qiao family fell. Mrs Qiao owed a large amount of debt, and my father was imprisoned."

 C74

    "Do you know how I paid it back?" Qiao Chuan''s eyes were a little unfocused. He floated in the air but he did not exert any strength.


    Seeing Qiao Chuan An''s expression, Xiu Nan pursed his lips and looked at Qiao Chuan An. His heart was slightly pricked. "If you don''t want to say it, then don''t say it."


    "There''s nothing you can''t say." Qiao Chuan smiled and his gaze finally fell onto the tea table, "Back then, the Qiao family was in debt and I paid the money for the pregnancy."


    He spoke as if everything that had happened was already over.


    However, her slightly trembling hands showed that her mood was not as calm as it was now.


    A trace of surprise flashed through the thin Shura''s eyes when he heard Qiao Chuan An talk about surrogacy. He did not think that she would actually speak of this matter.


    There was an indescribable awkwardness in the air. It was like a fish out of water, making it difficult for him to breathe.


    With regards to the matter of the surrogate pregnancy that Qiao Chuan An spoke of, Xi Xiuran raised his eyes and looked at the person who hid the pain in his eyes. He felt inexplicably uneasy.


    "Do you know what surrogacy is? Do you know what surrogacy needs to do? " There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were glistening.


    A moment later, the light faded into the corner of his eyes.


    "I''m sorry, but my mood is unstable." There was no hint of sadness on his face, but there was an indescribable feeling of sadness.


    "I gave birth to a child for someone else, willingly." The corner of Qiao Chuan''s mouth raised slightly. His mouth was full of bitterness. "That child paid back my Madam Qiao''s debt."


    At the mention of this, Qiao Chao An felt his heart ache so much that it left his body.


    The month of being wantonly abused by others, the ten months of being pregnant with a child, were all her nightmares that she could not get rid of.


    "I signed an agreement with someone else to sell my child." Smiling, Qiao Chuan felt that he could not even maintain a smile on his face.


    "Chu An, don''t be sad. Perhaps your child is having a good time." Xiuran only felt his heart ache slightly, but he could not say why.


    However, his hand did not allow Qiao Chuan to reject it.


    "He must be doing well." A person who could pay such a high price to have a surrogate pregnancy would at least not mistreat the child in terms of money.


    "However, it is not my child." When she was preparing to impregnate, the child was no longer hers.


    She remembered the agreement they''d signed.


    She wouldn''t go looking for the child.


    It was clearly a deal made with money and goods, but her heart was in pain.


    "Mr. Bo, I''ve thought about it. I think it would be better if we split up."


    Although he was a little disappointed, this was the best choice.


    That year''s memories were too deep. When she thought about it, she felt as if her flesh was being gouged out.


    It was not just the child''s problem, but also his own education.


    I can''t accept what I''ve done, but it''s what reality has to do.


    Hearing the word ''break'' from Qiao Chuan, the surrounding environment instantly became freezing cold.


    "It''s all right. I don''t mind. " A dim light flashed in her eyes as her memories brought him back to those days and nights five years ago.


    If the man from back then was him, he definitely wouldn''t mind.


    Jojouan did not know what he was thinking.


    She was very surprised by his answer.


    He could see that Qiao Chuan didn''t trust him.


    Again, he really didn''t mind.


    "I don''t want to break up with you because of this. It''s something else." She would not regret what she had done. As for whether or not she would mind, she did not really care.


    The reason why she told him about this matter was because she didn''t want him to misunderstand her.


    "That''s because of something else." She still had a lot of things to do, and she wasn''t in the mood to worry about the other half.


    Her current state was purely a burden.


    "For what?" "We are already dating. I will not agree to part ways."


    Jojouan saw the tyranny of the thin man, pursed his lips, and said no more about the breakup.


    One day he would be tired.


    "You can''t just break up in the future," she stressed, seeing that he had finally decided not to insist on breaking up.


    Hearing this, Jojouan lowered his head slightly and replied.


    This relationship, the beginning of his story, he definitely wouldn''t let her end it.


    After saying this, the Elementary Scholar looked at the small house that was just as warm and gentle as the last time they had come. He thought that such a thing had also happened last time, "This place isn''t safe, you should move to my place."


    "No need, this place is quite safe." "I live quite well here, and Xiaoxiao also lives with me."


    The first time she and Qin Guan had a disagreement, it was Qin Guan who wanted to raise her.


    She had had enough of those days when she was at the mercy of others. She did not want to give everything she had to someone else.


    "Safe? Would it be safe to do what we did today? " Hearing that Qiao Chuan An said it was safe, a frosty expression appeared on the face of Xi Qiulin, "This is not the first time something like this has happened to you.


    "I''m here both times. What if I''m not? Did you ever think about what would happen to you? "


    Hearing this, a hint of guilt flashed across Qiao Chuan''s face, but he still firmly refused.


    There were some things in principle that she would not choose to change.


    Dian Xiu saw the determination in Qiao Chuan An''s eyes. She knew that it was impossible for her to live with him, so she said, "In the future, if this happens, just report it to the police!"


    Today, he was worried that it would affect the people on the same floor.


    In the future, this kind of act of sparing his life should be reported to the police.


    The two of them did not talk for long before the thin cultivator left.


    He even forgot to ask her why she came to see him so late at night.


    After he left, Jojouan found it unbelievable.


    If this happened to him.


    She wasn''t even sure she could take it.


    After he left, he instructed his subordinates to let Qin Guan stay in the legal world forever.


    After Jojouan saw off the rune, he closed the door and squatted down in front of the door.


    But this time, Qiao Chuan An did not cry. She no longer had the right to cry.


    She had to be strong. The feeling of discomfort did not help her at all.


    The night was still and silent, and he could not sleep as he looked at the dim bedside lamp.


    A while ago, when he lived with Lin Hanxia, Qiao Chuan thought that he had recovered from his insomnia. He didn''t expect that it wasn''t a good result, but an even deeper one.

 C75

    The dim yellow light shone on Qiao Chuan An''s creamy face and it was very gentle. His long eyelashes trembled and his hands curled up on the blanket. He was curled up into a ball with no sense of security.


    The humiliation of being used by others was like a maggot on one''s bones, following one''s shadow.


    The next day, when Qiao Chuan woke up, his face was extremely ugly. The dark circles under his eyes could not be hidden at all.


    Her face was covered with powder, but it was still impossible to hide the pallor on her face.


    Brushing his teeth and washing his face, Qiao Chuan looked at the sickly, haggard face in the mirror. He lightly patted his own face to cheer himself up.


    Five years ago had passed. She would not return to that place.


    She had a boyfriend who didn''t mind her past. She might even have a very cute son. She should laugh.


    After all, with money and looks, it was still good for her. She should be happy that she met a boyfriend that was difficult to find even with lanterns in hand, right?


    Qiao Chu An looked at the person in the mirror, whose face was covered in tears. He then held up the water and poured it over his face.


    After calming down for a while, Joachim took his bag to the bus stop.


    By the time he arrived at the company, he had already regained the composure of his previous work. No one noticed that she was acting in such a manner.


    I''ve been coming to the company a lot these days.


    In the past, he had not been able to see her for a few days. Not only had he seen her recently, but he had also been brought along by the Ministry of Justice to travel together.


    When Qiao Chunan went to the tea room to pour the water, he raised his head and could only see that the lights in the office were on. However, he couldn''t clearly see what was going on with the people inside.


    However, the people inside could clearly see the people outside.


    When Qiao Chunan subconsciously turned his gaze towards the CEO''s office, the thin Xiu Lun also turned his gaze towards Qiao Chunan.


    Baoshu could clearly see the fear and unease in Qiao Chuan An''s eyes, as well as the calmness he was pretending to have. Perhaps this calmness was not a forced disguise. He could still remember the last time she was hospitalized, she was in a very high mental state.


    After working all morning, just as she was about to go to the cafeteria for dinner, the Tuppence called her to the office.


    There was food on the coffee table in the office, which was specially taught by Lan to mend her body.


    Now you''re here again?


    "Chu An, not long after we left the hospital last time, you need to make up for it." Qiao Chu An looked at the gentleness on the face and pinched his palm. He felt a little pain, but he was not dreaming.


    Seeing that Qiao Chuan An was in a daze, the thin Xiu Nan extended his hand to touch Qiao Chun An''s head, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, "What is it?"


    "Nothing." Qiao Chuan lowered his head slightly and leaned to the side. He had a slight smile on his face. "I was just surprised."


    "Why is it an accident?" "I''m your boyfriend. You have to remember that."


    Why did he feel surprised? It was all because he didn''t consider Ye Zichen as his real boyfriend.


    That day, his confession was successful, and Xi Xiu knew that it was largely due to the existence of Bo Anjin.


    If not for the presence of Bo Anjin that day, he would probably have been rejected.


    Thinking of this, the corners of her lips curled up slowly as she placed the things on the table properly. She rubbed Qiao Chuan''s head and said gently, "Eat more to nourish your body."


    He looked at the gentle smile on her face. It was warm, but more than that, he felt uneasy.


    After lunch, he went back to his office.


    His time at work was exceptionally busy.


    It''s easy to forget things when you''re busy.


    He also knew that Qiao Chuan An''s heart was not at ease right now.


    At the end of the day, when the Shuren girl deliberately watched as he left, she followed him and invited him to her own house as a guest, saying that she missed him.


    He thought about how he had told her about his surrogate pregnancy yesterday. At this time, she didn''t really want to see Bo Anjin.


    This made her feel as if she had betrayed her child.


    She was a little disgusted with herself. Deep in her heart, she felt that she was using Bo Anjin as a substitute.


    "Why don''t you go over? Ann is waiting for you at home. " When Bo Anjin saw the exhaustion on Qiao Chunan''s face, his brows furrowed slightly. He felt that he had underestimated the effect of that incident on Qiao Chunan.


    "I still have things to do today, so I''ll go tomorrow." The corners of his mouth curled up in a smile. It was clear that he was very tired.


    "What can I do for you?" There was a hint of intimacy in her voice. This was a rare occurrence, and it made Qiao Chun An feel flattered.


    At the same time, he reached out and stroked his hair.


    This time, Qiao Chuan did not speak. His voice was still gentle and filled with a smile. "There''s no need. It''s not a big deal."


    Since there was nothing else to do, she just felt a little tired.


    Not only was he physically tired, he was also mentally exhausted.


    "I''m your boyfriend now. You can ask me to help." His voice was colder than usual, carrying a certain calmness and a sense of security.


    "It''s really nothing." Qiao Chao An shook his head, indicating that there was nothing else. It was just that she didn''t want to face Bo An Jin.


    Xi Xiuran saw through Qiao Chuan''s thoughts. But it was because he saw that he didn''t want her to run away.


    After all, An An was his child, and it was only after the two of them had been together for a long time that they were able to break the ice.


    From yesterday''s words, he knew that Qiao Chuan An was upset over what happened five years ago.


    He didn''t know what he was thinking now, but he didn''t want that memory from five years ago to be so untouchable in George''s mind.


    His feelings for Qiao Chuan were very complicated.


    He wanted revenge, but at the same time, he was a bit reluctant.


    Was this a characteristic of both mother and daughter?


    He did not want to go to the Bo house, nor did he insist that she go.


    However, when he returned home, he saw Bo Anjin waiting for him in the living room. He patted Qiao Chun An''s head and said gently, "An An, your Aunt Qiao''s mood isn''t very good. Please accompany her."


    Hearing this, Bo Anjin looked up, his bright big eyes flashing with suspicion, "Daddy, is Aunt Qiao in a bad mood because of the hand injury? I thought she passed the exam? "


    "Is it because we didn''t celebrate for Auntie Qiao that Auntie Qiao is unhappy?" Shall we celebrate for Auntie Qiao? "


    There weren''t that many twists and turns in the world of children. If they were unhappy, everyone would be happy after a meal.


    After listening to Bo Anjin''s words, Bo Xiuran felt that he should celebrate for Qiao Chuan An.


    There was at least one chance to have dinner together.

 C76

    It was time for the phone call again.


    It was unknown when it started, but they would call each other every night.


    "Auntie Qiao, are you unhappy recently?" Bo Anjin did not ask any further questions. Instead, he went straight to the point and told Qiao Chunan everything that Bo Xiuran had told him when he returned home tonight.


    "Who did you hear that from?" There was no need to think about how Bo Anjin knew that it was definitely the words of the thin Shura, but how could the thin Shura say such things to a child!


    He could not understand what she was thinking.


    However, due to Bo Anjin''s concern, Qiao Chuan felt that refusing to go to see him this afternoon was a bit unreasonable.


    In this world, there was no substitute for anyone!


    She had really given her heart to Bo Anjin.


    "Dad said so. Do you want me to accompany you?" When Bo Anjin said this, he had a little bit of expectation on his face. If Aunt Qiao needs him to come over, he can sleep with Auntie Qiao.


    "En, there''s no need. You can stay at home." Although Qiao Chuan''s mood wasn''t very good, his heart softened when he faced Bo Anjin.


    When Bo Anjin heard Qiao Chuan An''s words, he pouted and unhappily said, "Alright then, but I want to treat you to a meal tomorrow. We can celebrate Auntie Qiao''s passing."


    Qiao Chuan heard this and was surprised. "You little rascal, you still want to treat me to a meal?"


    "Of course, every teacher in our class who gets the little red flower will give candy to eat. Auntie Qiao is so amazing, she definitely has to buy candy after passing the exam. "


    The tone of Bo Anjin''s voice seemed to be filled with sweetness, sweeping away all the fatigue on his body.


    "Alright then, I''ll come look for you guys tomorrow." Qiao Chu An didn''t refuse the invitation. Instead, he accepted the invitation with a smile.


    After the call was over, a smile appeared on Qiao Chu An''s face. Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiuran was feeling quite happy.


    After hanging up, the corners of Bo Anjin''s mouth drew back as he looked at Bo Xiuran, "Daddy will invite Auntie Qiao, we can have dinner together tomorrow."


    "Am I very powerful?" Bo Anjin looked up with an expression like he was being praised.


    Xi Xiuran rubbed his head and smiled gently, "An Xin is the best."


    Bo Anjin''s eyes lit up when he heard the answer.


    The next day, Jojouan left for work as usual.


    However, in the afternoon, when he got off work, he purposely waited for the meniscus.


    The two of them went to the Bo family''s mansion. The person she promised today, Bo Anjin, would go to the Bo family villa to eat.


    With regards to his promise to his children, he would not fail to keep his promise.


    The atmosphere in the car was ambiguous, and he felt something was wrong.


    When they arrived at the Bo family''s residence for dinner, Old Master Bo was there as well. When he saw the two people who entered, his expression was exceptionally warm.


    He didn''t know what his grandson was thinking, but for a good child like Qiao Chunan, his grandson, Bo Xiuran, must have his thoughts about Qiao Chunan.


    After dinner, Shouchuan was ready to send Jojouan home, but Bo Anjin followed him, arguing that he wanted to go to Jojouan''s place.


    He would never go to his room.


    Seeing that there was nothing that could be done, Qiao Chu An could not bear to disappoint Bo Anjin either. She packed up some things, said a few things to the old man, and brought Bo Anjin back home.


    The laughter and cheers of Bo Anjin along the way made Qiao Chunan feel like this was a family of three.


    However, this thought was quickly suppressed by Qiao Chu An.


    The Siren sent Bo Anjin to Qiao Chun An''s room. Seeing that Bo Anjin had entered Qiao Chuan''s room, she also sat down on the sofa beside him.


    Actually, he also wanted to stay, but Qiao Chuan''s room was a 1 room and 1 room, so there was no possibility for him to stay.


    He looked around and let Qiao Chu who was packing his clothes settle down. He smiled and said, "Don''t tell me you want to stay here as well? I don''t have a place for you here. "


    Qiao Chao An could see the meaning behind Bo Xiunan''s eyes. His face was slightly red, but at the same time, he was glad that he was in room 1.


    There was only one room left, and it was impossible to leave all of them behind.


    "Then is it because your room is a bit larger that I can stay?" He took it as the truth.


    "Chu An, this place is too far from the company. How about I send you to an apartment?" When he said this, he was not sure she would agree.


    Last time she said that cohabitation had been rejected, this time she was only giving him a small apartment. She probably wouldn''t think so.


    Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, Qiao Chunan''s folded hands paused for a moment and said, "No need, I live quite well here."


    Hearing Qiao Chunan''s rejection once again, Xiu Yong slowly knocked on the sofa. "Since you want to become stronger, you shouldn''t waste your time on such things."


    "As long as you accept these things peacefully, you don''t have to think too much about it. We''re lovers, and some things don''t need to be sorted out so clearly. "


    Qiao Chuan pulled back the hair by his ear. He looked a little unnatural, but he still firmly rejected the idea.


    Although she didn''t know what it was like for other people to fall in love.


    However, it was impossible for her to live in someone else''s house. Although this place was very simple and was a little far from the company, she had rented it herself.


    This was not an act, but her own bottom line.


    These were some of the ways her mother had been able to get along with her while she was still alive.


    When she was young, she didn''t understand, but she remembered everything.


    She wasn''t sure how far she and the thin girl would go, but no matter how far she went, she wouldn''t accept anyone''s gift.


    Seeing the stubborn look on Qiao Chuan An''s face, Xiu Nan knew that he would not be able to use this move no matter what.


    After Qiao Chuan and Bo Anjin finished washing up, they prepared to go to bed. It was already after 9 in the evening. There was no excuse for her to stay.


    Of course, since he had found an excuse, there was no way that he would let the emollient stay behind.


    Xiuran looked at Qiao Chuan An helplessly and walked out of the room.


    Seeing the sullen expression on his father''s face, Bo Anjin, who was hiding behind Qiao Chunan''s back, covered his mouth and laughed happily.


    Qiao Chu Ran had also seen Bo Anjin''s actions. He could not help but turn his head to look at the thin Xiu Nong, extending his hand to touch Bo Anjin''s head. The corners of his mouth curled up.


    The thin cultivator heard the soft voice of Bo Anjin and turned around to see the two of them covering their mouths. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up as he turned around and left the room.


    When the door closed, Bo Xiuniang smiled and shook her head. However, the two of them had a good time and left him alone outside.

 C77

    Life was very peaceful on Qiao Chuan''s side. However, life on Su Ran''s side was very unpleasant.


    Ever since Gu Nan abandoned Su Ran at home that night, he had been playing around everywhere.


    In the past, they would still care about Su Ran, but now that the Su Clan had shrunk, Gu Nan had nothing to fear.


    He brought his female companion to various events, completely ignoring Su Ran''s existence.


    This was because the Gu Clan''s withdrawal was related to Su Ran.


    At the beginning, Su Ran had allowed Gu Nan''s actions to go unnoticed. He wanted to see if Gu Nan would change his mind.


    However, the more time passed, the more Gu Nan went overboard. Su Ran was unable to bear it any longer.


    Other than the fact that she was jealous of him, she also liked Gu Nan.


    Gu Nan was handsome and dashing, and she treated Qiao Chunan well. How could she not be tempted by such a person by her side?


    Gu Nan brought his girl companion to another party, and when he returned home that night, Su Ran was sitting in the living room. His hair was loose, and his eyes were gloomy. His voice carried a sinister tone.


    "How can you bear to come back? I''m not accompanying your female companion."


    "Though you''re talking nonsense." Gu Nan pulled at his tie, looking annoyed. He had had enough of Su Ran''s neurotic look.


    However, Gu Nan had completely forgotten that he was responsible for a large part of Su Ran''s life.


    "I''m talking nonsense. What do you think these are?" Su Ran threw the magazine on the tea table.


    The tea table was littered with photos of Gu Nan and his female companions. The pictures were especially intimate and sexy.


    "And then, what do you want to say?" Gu Nan''s tone was impatient, he only glanced at the picture on the tea table.


    He did not care about gossip magazines at all.


    "Gu Nan, you said you loved me, how can you be like this now?"


    "I love you? I''m afraid you''re not joking. " Now that the Su Clan was nothing to fear, Gu Nan didn''t give Su Ran any face and directly replied with a sneer.


    In the past, the Su Clan''s support for the Gu Clan''s development was not bad. It was impossible for them to express their dissatisfaction with Su Ran, allowing the Su Clan and the Gu Clan to centrifuge. But now, the Su Clan was useless to the Gu Clan.


    He didn''t need to give Su Ran any face at all. He didn''t need to pretend that he knew Su Ran.


    "What do you mean?" Hearing Gu Nan''s words, Su Ran''s face changed drastically as he started to panic.


    "What do you mean literally?" Gu Nan shrugged nonchalantly and leaned against the sofa, blushing a little as if he was drunk.


    Su Ran moved her twitching fingers when she saw Gu Nan''s expression. Her expression relaxed a little, and with a forced calmness in her voice, she asked, "Are you drunk?"


    "Drunk? What are you thinking of? Is this self-consoling fun? I have no feelings for you. I only made you feel like I''m interested in you because I wanted to make him feel betrayed by a good friend. "


    "What did you say?" Su Ran''s face was filled with disbelief.


    Her hatred for Qiao Chunan came slowly, one step at a time. Especially after knowing that Gu Nan was Qiao Chunan''s fianc¨¦, her jealousy exploded like a volcano.


    But now he had come to tell her that he had teased her because she was a friend of Joachim''s.


    When he heard up to this point, Su Ran completely broke down.


    She thought Gu Nan didn''t dare to admit his feelings for her because he was engaged to Qiao Chunan, but now it seemed that he made her feel feelings for him intentionally.


    "You better take your words back, or else your reputation will be ruined. I have proof that you destroyed Madam Qiao." Even if Su Ran trusted Gu Nan''s words, she wouldn''t let others know that she believed them.


    After all, she stole Gu Nan from Qiao Chun An, and he was one of the few things that could beat him.


    She would not admit her failure.


    When Gu Nan heard Su Ran''s words, his face darkened. He suddenly remembered that the Su Clan had gone against the Qiao clan with him.


    He didn''t expect that the old thing from the Qiao family would still have evidence. This evidence was actually given to Su Ran.


    "Su Ran, why is it you? "What happened just now?" Gu Nan rubbed his forehead, a little dazed.


    "I heard you say Mrs Qiao, what happened to Mrs Qiao?"


    Seeing how Gu Nan was acting, Su Ran''s expression was hard to distinguish. But in the end, he still helped Gu Nan up.


    His voice was a bit absent-minded. "Were you drunk just now?"


    "Drunk? I''m not drunk, I''m not drunk at all. "You bitch, she forced me to say things you didn''t like."


    Hearing Gu Nan''s words, Su Ran''s expression softened a lot. At the same time, he believed that Gu Nan must have been drunk to say that he didn''t really like her words.


    Gu Nan had been with Su Ran for many years, so he was quite clear about Su Ran''s personality. There were still some people in his heart who looked down on Su Ran for being able to fool around with just a few words from him.


    Qiao Chun An didn''t know what had happened here, nor did she know that she had taken the blame for Gu Nan once again.


    The hatred Su Ran felt towards Qiao Chunan was slowly deepened by Gu Nan.


    Time did not slow down because of anyone''s footsteps. The next day, after he woke up, Qiao Chao An and Bo Anjin washed their faces and rinsed their mouths.


    After washing up, Qiao Chunan prepared to take Bo Anjin to the vicinity to buy some breakfast.


    Since he had to be busy at work in the morning, he usually bought some breakfast outside.


    When Qiao Chuan and Bo Anjin went out of the room, they saw the cultivation elder waiting outside.


    He received her and told her to take him to kindergarten.


    Bo Anjin really didn''t want to go, but since Joachim said he would pick him up after work, Bo Anjin was happy to have Bo Xiuran take him to kindergarten.


    As soon as Joachim saw him drive off in one direction, he turned around and walked back to the office.


    When it was time to go to work, Qiao Chao An began to seriously deal with some of the company''s legal documents.


    After Bo Xiuran had sent her to kindergarten, he had also come to the CEO''s office to take care of his own affairs.


    Not long after he started working, Guan Lan came up to Bo Xiuran, wanting to ask him about her subsequent developments.


    "CEO, do you need a female companion recently?" After exchanging a few words with Ai Hui, she made it clear that she was having some difficulties in the entertainment circle, and wanted to see if she needed any help from the PR department.


    When Bo Xiuran heard this question, his brows slightly creased. The affair of making a scandal with him could bring a layer of fame closer.


    The last Shanghainese entertainer would have known that Shouchuan would not refuse such a thing.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have silently allowed Duan Wan to incite rumors about him. It was only because Duan Wan had stepped on his bottom line that he had completely disliked Duan Wan.

 C78

    After confirming that he had not misheard Shangguan Lan''s question, the thin cultivator raised his head and looked at her.


    Shangguan Lan''s appearance was very elegant and gentle, but there was also an alluring look on her face. Was it because she was unsure if this was her wrong understanding?


    Not long after Shangguan Lan arrived, Shen Lin also arrived.


    Shen Lin came to discuss business matters.


    Shen Lin''s eyes lit up when he saw the existence of Guan Guan Lan.


    "Miss Guan is here too. Have you finished discussing your matters?" As Shen Lin said this, he did his best to give a meaningful glance to Jian Chen, telling him to quickly end his conversation with Shangguan Lan.


    "You speak first before the president, I''ll wait at the side for a while." The light from Guan Lao Lan''s eyes fell on Shen Lin, giving him a feeling that he was her world.


    He knew it was an illusion, but he didn''t want to wake up.


    Shen Lin quickly finished his business talk with the thin cultivator and invited Shangguan Lan to go out for dinner.


    "Miss Guan, last time you rejected my invitation, but this time you can''t refuse again." A gentle smile appeared on Shen Lin''s handsome face.


    When Shangguan Lan saw Shen Lin''s expression, her eyes turned and landed on the thin cultivator.


    He saw the thin, long finger holding a pen, and did not pay any attention to the conversation between the two people in front of him.


    "I discussed my future path with the CEO today. Let''s wait for the next time. I''ll treat you to a meal next time." Shangguan Lan''s voice was cool and gentle, making people feel as if they were being pressed.


    "What''s the use of you telling him that?" Shen Lin didn''t care about the name of the Elementary Cultivator, and directly slandered it, "You wouldn''t be thinking of spreading the rumours with him, right?"


    Shen Lin''s face was full of disapproval as he said, "Then do you know how Shang Hua''s pillar Duan Wan, your Little Flower, fell?"


    "How did it fall?" Shangguan Rulan looked at Shen Lin with a gentle gaze and a smile on her face.


    Under the gaze of Guan Lan, Shen Lin felt that even if he were to head to the battlefield now, he wouldn''t feel any fear.


    "It''s because of the scandal with Persephone." He sat on his chair and listened to Shen Lin''s slander towards him. The light in his eyes deepened as he said, "I am not a kind person."


    "Don''t you ever think about having a relationship with a thin elven girl, or something like that." Shen Lin was exaggerating.


    He did not want Guan Lan to place her gaze on the thin cultivator.


    "Shen Lin, I''m still here." The more he listened to Shen Lin''s words, the more overbearing he became. He knocked on the table, indicating to Shen Lin that he should stop there.


    "Oh right, the most important point is that the thin cultivator has a girlfriend now." After saying so, Shen Lin invited Shangguan Lan to have a meal with him.


    When Shangguan Lan heard that Bo Xiuniang had a girlfriend, she lowered her head slightly. The corners of her lips curled up into a smile as she said to Shen Lin, "Then, I''ll respectfully accept your offer."


    This time, Shangguan Lan didn''t reject Shen Lin''s invitation and the two of them went out together.


    Staring at the backs of the two, Xiuran squinted his eyes with an inexplicable expression on his face.


    When Shen Lin and Shangguan Lan came out, they bumped into Qiao Chuan who was heading to his office to hand in his information.


    Because the thin cultivator didn''t like the people in the company who tried to get on the throne, he dealt with a few of these people. So no matter how beautiful the thin cultivator was, none of the girls in the company wanted to get close to him.


    So even if he moved from Shanghua to GM, Qiao Chun An was still the one who sent the materials.


    When Qiao Chunan sent the documents into the CEO''s office, he asked about this matter with some curiosity.


    "Xiu Nan, I just saw Shen Lin and Miss Guan together." Qiao Chun An''s eyes were filled with curiosity. His eyes were exceptionally clear, and his voice was filled with doubt. "What do you think they are?"


    "I''m not gossiping. What relationship they have has has nothing to do with me." The thin cultivator squeezed his hands that were ready to move, his voice was cold and indifferent.


    Hearing the answer, Qiao Chao An''s mouth twitched. He stood at the side and waited for him to sign. "Okay, I was just asking."


    After signing his name, it was time for him to get off work after an hour of work.


    Today, Qiao Chuan An promised to pick up Bo Anjin when he got off work. He sat at his desk and waited for Bo Xiuran to come out of his office.


    And today in the kindergarten, Bo Anjin has always been very obedient.


    When school was about to end, many of the children in the class had already left. Bo Anjin was still quietly sitting in the kindergarten, waiting for Qiao Chunan to come pick him up.


    "Anthea, is your father here to pick you up this time?" The kindergarten teacher thought of Bo Anjin''s father, and his cheeks reddened slightly.


    It wasn''t that he had any other thoughts, it was just that he felt a lot better after seeing a handsome person.


    "Not only my father, but my mother will come with him today." As Bo Anjin said this, he raised his head with a face full of pride.


    "Mother An An An is coming today?" The kindergarten teacher asked curiously.


    They knew that Bo Anjin was the son of Bo Xiuran, but they also knew that he had no mother.


    When Bo Anjin heard the kindergarten teacher''s question, he happily replied, "Of course it''s Mom''s. Today, Mom and Dad will pick me up from school."


    The conversation between the two did not last long. Soon, both of them arrived at the kindergarten.


    After the kindergarten teacher passed Bo Anjing to her parents, he looked at the family of three and whispered, "Don''t tell me that An An really looks like her mother."


    "But didn''t the internet say that Anthea didn''t have a mother? And we don''t see any information about Anthea having a mother here. " The kindergarten teacher talked about these things.


    "How could small citizens like us know about the matters between Wealthy Classes."


    "That''s true."


    What the teachers of the Anan kindergarten thought of him, he did not know.


    Now, the family of three was driving towards a restaurant not far away.


    The three of them chatted and laughed, but in the parking lot next to the restaurant, they met Gu Nan and Su Ran.


    Gu Nan had invited Su Ran out for dinner to apologize.


    At the same time, he wanted to obtain that information.


    After all, this matter was like a ticking time bomb to Gu Nan, and the more he thought about it, the more difficult it had been for Su Ran to control himself. He didn''t want to continue.


    Gu Nan''s face darkened when he saw Qiao Chunan and Bo Xiuran. He was still brooding over the matter of the thin cultivator dealing with the Gu family for Qiao Chunan.


    At the same time, he resented him and thought that he should have loved him, instead of turning around and looking for her.


    He even felt as if the top of his head had turned green. Even if he had nothing to do with him now.

 C79

    Su Ran saw that Gu Nan''s expression was ugly and felt a bit happy. He felt that Gu Nan couldn''t possibly like Qiao Chunan. At the same time, he felt that what happened to Gu Nan last night definitely had something to do with Qiao Chun An.


    "Director Bo, you came over to eat too." No matter how displeased he was, Gu Nan still had a smile on his face as he greeted the thin cultivator.


    The Gu family was not as big as the Bo family.


    There was no way for him to get on bad terms with her now. The Bo family was much stronger than the Gu family. Due to the incident where Qiao Chunan''s hand was injured, their Gu family''s vitality was greatly damaged and they have yet to recover.


    Thinking of this, Gu Nan looked at Qiao Chunan with even more disgust.


    The thin cultivator overheard Gu Nan''s words, but he did not pay any attention to him.


    Instead, he whispered to Bo Anjin who was beside him and chatted with Qiao Chunan.


    Su Ran saw that the three of them had ignored them and felt annoyed. He said, "Qiao Chunan, come over and eat too."


    Su Ran''s expression did not look good, but she still greeted him.


    When she saw Gu Nan standing at the side, she felt a little awkward.


    How could they treat Gu Nan like this?


    Seeing the smile on Qiao Chunan''s face, Su Ran almost couldn''t maintain her smile. Her hatred for Qiao Chunan was so deep that she wasn''t satisfied at all.


    Qiao Chu An didn''t answer her, but Su Ran thought about the time he knelt before him.


    He turned around and saw Bo Anjin beside him.


    Su Ran had an exaggerated smile on his face as he smiled. With a peculiar tone, he said, "Qiao Chuan An, you must be taking care of a child, right? "What, are you going to be a mother of a child?"


    Bo Anjin was still young, so he couldn''t make out the meaning behind Su Ran''s words.


    He was making fun of her for being a stepmother. At the same time, he was also mocking Qiao Chu An for not letting the child go in order to hug him.


    Hearing Su Ran''s words, Qiao Chunan didn''t want Bo Anjin to be injured, so he suppressed his disgust and said to Su Ran, "That''s right. Taking care of a child. Speaking of which, you''ve been married for five years. When will you have a child?"


    Su Ran''s face darkened when he heard Qiao Chunan''s words.


    She had thought about having a baby for five years, but had never gotten pregnant.


    "Qiao Chuan, what do you mean by this?" Su Ran felt mocked by Qiao Chuan. His face was as gloomy as the summer when it was about to rain.


    "An An, come and greet your uncles and aunties."


    Although Qiao Chuan was very impatient with Su Ran and even disliked him, he didn''t show it in front of Bo Anjin.


    Bo Anjin raised his head and looked at the two people beside him. Although he didn''t know why, he just didn''t like them. He felt that their expressions were very ugly.


    Although she didn''t want to pay attention to them, when Aunt Qiao asked him to come and greet her, Bo Anjin obediently listened to her and greeted them.


    "Hello, uncle and aunt."


    As for Bo Anjin, his obedient expression made Su Ran even angrier.


    She hated children. It wasn''t that she couldn''t have children, but that she didn''t want to!


    Although she was comforting herself, Su Ran was still very frustrated.


    Seeing Su Ran''s expression, the two of them were afraid that Su Ran would harm their child. After exchanging a few words, they walked towards the interior of the restaurant.


    Su Ran looked at the backs of the two as the anger in his eyes burned like fire. He couldn''t kill the two in front of him.


    Of course, Gu Nan''s expression didn''t look any better. Today, he was completely ignored by the thin Shura and Qiao Chuan An. This kind of feeling made Gu Nan''s expression look exceptionally gloomy.


    Su Ran thought of Bo Anjin and Qiao Chuan''s words, "Gu Nan, I want a child."


    "Don''t tell me about the baby." He didn''t really like Su Ran so how could he let her give birth to her own child? How could he shake off Su Ran when he had a child in the future?


    When the three of them headed to the private room, Bo Anjin raised his head and asked, "Dad, who are Auntie Qiao and the others?"


    "They are just strangers, you don''t need to care about them." He answered directly.


    Hearing that they were strangers, Bo Anjin didn''t ask about their relationship and instead started talking about the kindergarten.


    However, after walking a few steps, Bo Anjin pulled on the Shura''s hand and asked in a low voice, "Then is the story of Auntie Qiao being my mother true?"


    As she said this, her eyes sparkled.


    Although he knew that Auntie Qiao would be his mother, but he did not get an accurate answer, so Bo Anjin was still a little worried.


    When Bo Anjin asked this question, he didn''t lower his voice. Qiao Chun An''s face turned red as he listened to it. He didn''t know how Bo Xiushan would answer, but deep down, he was hoping that Bo Anzhen would be able to fool him.


    However, he didn''t have any intention of trying to fool her. Instead, he squatted down and said seriously to Bo Anjin, "Your Aunt Qiao will be your mother in the future."


    "Really? That would be great. "


    Hearing this answer, Bo Anjin skipped towards the restaurant.


    Looking at Bo Anjin''s back, Qiao Chu An shook his head and followed.


    "Sir, madam, what do you need?" After the three entered, the waiter walked down enthusiastically.


    "Ask my son." When the three of them arrived at the private room, Bo Anjin was sitting between the two of them.


    "Sir, your child is so cute. Little friend, what do you need to eat?" The waiter placed the menu in front of Bo Anjin.


    Although Bo Anjin didn''t know how to read words, but there were pictures on the menu.


    After ordering his dishes, Bo Anjin passed the menu to Qiao Chunan, "Mom, you order too. I know you like the soup, so I''ll order all of it for you."


    "Madam, your child is so obedient." The waiter couldn''t help but praise Bo Anjin for his good behavior.


    Hearing the waiter''s words and seeing the look of anticipation in Bo Anjin''s eyes, Qiao Chunan did not correct him. He did not refute the way Bo Anjin addressed him. Instead, he handed the menu over to him, "You order too."


    Not long after, when Qiao Chunan went to the toilet, Bo Anjin turned around and asked her, "Auntie Qiao did not refuse. Is it true that he will be my mother?"


    "Yeah, it''s true. Didn''t you see that the auntie said we were a family of three?"


    Qiao Chunan returned from the toilet and saw Bo Anjin looking at him with excitement. He curiously asked, "En, why are you looking at me like that?"


    "That auntie just said we''re a family of three."


    Seeing the expression on Bo Anjin''s face, Qiao Chuanan didn''t have any thoughts of stopping. He turned his head to look at Bo Xiuwen, but Bo Xiuzhi remained calm and didn''t say anything to reject him.


    When Bo Anjin saw this, he slowly rubbed his body against Qiao Chuan''s chest.


    They had a very enjoyable meal.

 C80

    After the meal, Shuren was ready to walk Jojouan home.


    Bo Anjin wanted to stay the night, but was rejected by Qiao Chunan. "An An, let''s go home first. You can come back later to play when you have the chance."


    "Then can I come and stay with you in the future?" Bo Anjin was unhappy, but he knew that it was not good for him to stay with Auntie Qiao all the time.


    After all, he was staying here, and his father was going to wake up early to pick him up.


    He didn''t know how to answer, so he said, "You can come and stay with Auntie Qiao when you have the chance."


    "What opportunity?" Bo Anjin turned his gaze onto his father with a puzzled expression. How did his father know that Auntie Qiao would let him stay with her?


    "When your Aunt Qiao marries me."


    Hearing this, Bo Anjin turned to look at Qiao Chunan, "Auntie Qiao, you have to marry my father as soon as possible."


    Before he knew how to answer, he said something and drove her home.


    After the two of them arrived home, Bo Xiuniang and Bo Anjin finished washing their faces and rinsing their mouths. After seeing Bo Anjin lying on the bed, Bo Xiuniang returned to her room.


    Because today, Qiao Chunan went to pick up Bo Anjin from school and promised to be his mother, he was always a little too excited to sleep.


    After lying on the bed for a long time, Bo Anjin stealthily got up and ran towards the room where Bo Xiuran lived. He wanted to talk to her.


    Bo Anjin sneaked into the room of the Shuriken. He noticed that his father was drinking. His expression was not very happy.


    The room was normally closed, but today he did not pay much attention.


    The slightly tipsy lady, Lan Shuiyan, did not notice that Bo Anjin had come to her room.


    Right now, his heart was in a mess. He did not know what kind of feelings he had towards Qiao Chuan An. He really wanted to take revenge, but he couldn''t bear to. If he didn''t take revenge, then he felt that he hadn''t been able to avenge his mother.


    Although Bo Anjin was young, he had grown up with Bo Xiuran. He knew very well that his father was not happy at this moment.


    Although he didn''t know the reason, he felt that this matter was very likely to have something to do with Auntie Qiao. After all, he had only met Auntie Qiao alone today.


    His own father wasn''t happy right now, so Bo Anjin didn''t look for him.


    He turned around and went back to his room to sleep.


    Bo Anjin really wanted to tell Auntie Qiao about this, but it was very late, so he didn''t call her. However, he remembered in his small notebook that he had to tell Aunty Qiao about this tomorrow.


    He wanted Auntie Qiao to be his mother, but at the same time, he didn''t want his father to be unhappy.


    The next day, Bo Anjin woke up. After washing up, he used his home phone to quietly make a call. At this time, he was almost at the company''s office.


    "Auntie Qiao, Auntie Qiao, after I saw dad coming home last night, I sat alone drinking. Do you think he''s unhappy?"


    Hearing this, Qiao Chuan An was stunned for a moment. It was difficult for her to imagine the drunk appearance of the thin Shura. "Then, An An, why isn''t your father happy?"


    "I think it''s because of Aunt Qiao, because we saw you yesterday." A child''s thinking is not comprehensive, and can only be based on their own experience.


    "It''s you and your dad who only met me, but your dad left me and met a lot of people." While explaining the problem to Bo Anjin, Qiao Chuan punched in a card beside the company.


    After explaining the problem to Bo Anjin, he hung up as he was about to go to kindergarten.


    Not long after Joachim hung up on her, she went to the president''s office.


    Looking up, he saw no expression on her face.


    Of course, what Bo Anjin said was related to what happened last night. Even if she wanted to look at it now, she wouldn''t be able to tell what expression it was.


    He didn''t see anything special about it, so he didn''t pay much attention to it.


    As for what Bo Anjin said about her, even Qiao Chun An was unable to figure out what he had done to be related to her.


    It wasn''t that he didn''t believe her, but he felt that this matter didn''t have anything to do with her, just as she had explained to her.


    After putting this matter aside, Qiao Chuan went into the office to work hard.


    In the course of the week, Jojouan got along better with the people in their office.


    At first, people didn''t like Qiao Chuan because she didn''t have much ability and thought that she would drag them down.


    Now that he found out that Qiao Chuan was quite capable and had received the information quickly, he could even help a lot. This way, it would be easier for them to accept him.


    The people in the office were all friendly to him now.


    When the department manager saw that everyone was in a harmonious atmosphere, he agreed to go to the cafeteria tonight to eat and welcome the new members.


    But it''s not just a welcome for new members, it''s also a mealtime event within the department.


    Qiao Chuan An was a gentle person. She would easily get along with other people if there was no one who was particularly against her.


    When the department was having dinner in the dining hall, the department manager raised his head and saw the thin Xiu Lan walk in from the private room in the dining hall.


    When the department manager saw him, he went up to greet him.


    "CEO, you came here to eat too?" Although the department manager was enthusiastic, he was not flattering.


    "Hmm, your department is having a meal here?" His voice was cold and his movements graceful and charming. His gaze was cold and indifferent as he turned to the people who were eating at the table. With a glance, he saw Qiao Chuan in the middle of the crowd.


    Qiao Chuan was petite. He looked especially gentle as he sat in the middle of a group of people.


    "Alright, you guys go ahead. I''m leaving first." He nodded to the department manager and walked into a nearby box.


    After Bo Anjin left, the people in the Ministry of Justice also began to discuss with each other.


    "What kind of girlfriend do you guys think the CEO of a rich guy would find?"


    "It must be a rich family of similar wealth and looks. Otherwise, do you think it would be the story of Prince Charming and Lady Hui?"


    "I know it definitely can''t be us. We can''t even gossip."


    People like them, who had already entered society, did not believe the stories of Prince Charming and Cinderella.


    In any case, Cinderella was the daughter of the Count.


    After everyone teased each other for a bit, they did not say anything about it anymore. After all, they were students of the law, and they knew what kind of misunderstanding they would cause if they were to say something.


    After all, they were gossiping about the CEO''s matters. If these words were to reach the CEO''s side, it would not be good for them.


    From time to time, Qiao Chunan would converse with the people around him, but his attention was focused on the thin elementalist.

 C81

    Just now, when she saw the gaze of Xiuran, she had a feeling that her heart had been thrown into disarray.


    After the meal, their relationship did not improve much, but at least they became more harmonious.


    After dinner, the department manager went to pay the bill, but was told that someone had already paid the bill.


    "Who would pay us?"


    "It must be the CEO. Otherwise, who would pay for it?"


    "Why would the CEO want to pay us?"


    "We met the CEO this time and were lucky to meet us. Otherwise, what would have been the outcome?"


    Every department''s dinner was shared evenly, so the restaurant they came to wasn''t cheap. If someone were to treat them, they would lose half a month''s salary.


    After dinner, they still planned to go out to play, so Qiao Chuan An said goodbye to everyone and did not follow them.


    When he was about to take the bus home, he glanced to the side and spotted the car.


    Jojouan had taken most of the car before, so when he looked at the parking lot next to them, he spotted the car immediately.


    However, this car was not a regular one, so the company didn''t notice it, but even if they did see it, they wouldn''t think much of it.


    After all, didn''t they just run into the emaciated Siren while they were eating?


    When she saw him looking at her, she flashed her light and told him that she was being told to get in the car.


    When the unit was done, Jocelyn quietly got into the car.


    "I missed you." After Jojouan got into the car, the emirate came over and fastened the seat belt for him.


    A warm breath fell on his face, making him uncomfortable. His face immediately turned red.


    "Didn''t we just meet at the office today?" What are you talking about, didn''t we just meet just now?


    "We just met."


    "We just met." He had just met her, but still missed her a little.


    He didn''t even know how to face her, especially when he thought of his initial goal of getting close to her.


    "Then why did you say you wanted to." Qiao Chunan tried his best to lean his body backwards, avoiding the Shuriken that was getting closer and closer to him.


    The aura coming from the thin Xiuran caused Qiao Chun An''s brows to furrow. She was not used to being too close to others. This way, she would have a feeling that she could not hide from them.


    She hadn''t had any problems with this before, but after five years and a month, she was not used to getting too close to people.


    "What''s wrong? "Uncomfortable?" After he fastened Qiao Chuan An''s seat belt, he sat down in his own seat. Seeing that Qiao Chun An''s gaze was somewhat evasive, he stretched out his hand to touch Qiao Chunan''s head, but was dodged by Qiao Chunan.


    "There''s no discomfort. I''m just feeling a bit uncomfortable." With a smile on his face, he said to the thin cultivator, "I can do this kind of thing by myself."


    "Mm, got it." He could feel that Qiao Chuan An liked him, but at the same time, he was also afraid of him, or perhaps, some of the more aggressive men.


    The light outside the car was a bit dim. It was quite a distance from the restaurant to Qiao Chuan''s house, but the two of them did not speak.


    Qiao Chunan did not know what to say. It was clear that Xi Xiuran did not want to speak.


    Half an hour later, Qiao Chuan''s home arrived.


    "Then I''ll go up first, Xiu Nan." After getting out of the car, Qiao Chuan said a few words to the thin shaman in the driver''s seat and prepared to go upstairs.


    However, just as he was about to leave, Xi Xiuran came out of the car and took his hand. His face was blurred under the street light.


    "I''ll go up with you." There was a hint of confusion in her reserved voice.


    Qiao Chunan turned around and looked at the thin scholar holding her hand. He smiled, his face looking especially gentle under the street light. "No need, I can go up myself."


    "I''ll go up with you."


    The atmosphere between the two was a bit weird and ambiguous.


    Jojouan did not try to dissuade her. He pulled his hand away and she followed her.


    "What happened to you today? "It feels weird." When Qiao Chunan and the thin man walked up the stairs, they turned their heads to look at the people beside them. Their voices were soft and filled with doubt.


    "Nothing, I just want to go up with you."


    The tall figure of the man was caught in the light of the corridor next to them. He looked exceptionally handsome.


    "Alright, I''m at the door now. You can leave now." When he said this, he lowered his head slightly and rummaged through his bag for the key.


    From this angle, he could just make out Jojouan''s spin. Her fluffy hair looked especially soft under the light.


    Just as he was about to open the door, he found the key.


    Xiuran wrapped his arms around Jochu An''s waist from behind and rested his head on Jochu An''s neck. His warm breath made Jochu An''s body move uncomfortably.


    "Xiu Nan, let go of me, I''m going in." Joachim nudged the man behind him.


    Xiuran also obediently let go of Qiao Chuan An.


    Just when he thought this was over, she pushed him against the wall, lowered her head, and pressed her lips against his.


    Qiao Chuan felt as if a thin breeze was wrapped around his entire body.


    His heartbeat sped up, and he felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his chest.


    Jojouan pushed the emirate hard, turned around and ran into the house.


    Leaning his back against the wall, he thought about what he had just felt and his face turned red.


    The thin Xiu Nan pushed open the door and looked at the lights in the room. He reached out his hand to cover his chest. He also felt that something was off. Thinking of this, he couldn''t help but sneer.


    Playing a love game and losing himself in it?


    His gaze was complicated under the light of the stairs.


    After standing at the door and waiting for a while, he called Shen Lin and Shao Yishuo to let them drink together.


    In fact, he didn''t drink much, but he would occasionally meet up with Shen Lin and Shao Yishuo.


    The two of them didn''t say anything and directly came out after receiving the phone call.


    This time, the three of them did not go to a bar, but to a clubhouse.


    The bar was noisy, and the atmosphere there was something Shao Yishuo liked. The thin Xiu Lan and Shen Lin could accept this, but they did not like it.


    When Bo Xiu arrived at the clubhouse, Shen Lin and Shao Yishuo had already ordered some wine.


    "Why did you want to treat us to a drink today?" When Baoshu had just arrived, Shao Yishuo had already poured a cup of wine and handed it over to him with a mocking smile on his face.

 C82

    "Aren''t you going to go back to China? I''m here to give you a welcoming reception. " The expression on her face eased up a lot as she took the wine cup from Shao Yishuo''s hand.


    Hearing this, Shao Yishuo curled his lips and said, "You''re still talking about it. I wanted Qiao Chuan to come to my office, but you didn''t even let her come."


    "Those are my people. How could I place her beside a pack of wolves?" As the light in her eyes shifted, she placed her finger, which was clearly defined by her joints, on the wine cup. Her actions were both reserved and elegant.


    Shen Lin, who was standing beside them, listened to their conversation. His eyes were filled with the expression of someone who wanted to watch a good show.


    "Shao Yishuo, you know that Qiao Chunan is the girlfriend of Bo Xiu, right?"


    "Get the hell out of my way, how could I not know about this?" Shao Yishuo rolled his eyes and pushed Shen Lin to the side.


    His good opinion of George had always been based on her ability.


    Well, it was also related to looks.


    However, compared to his brother, these things weren''t that important.


    After all, there were so many beauties in this world. It was impossible for him to give up that large forest for a single person.


    Upon hearing Shen Lin''s words, the protector turned his gaze to Shen Lin, an indescribable look appearing in his eyes.


    "Why are you looking at me? Did you want to invite us out for a drink today? "In the past, I was always taking care of my children at home." Shen Lin raised his brows, not concealing the gossip in his eyes at all.


    "What''s going on between you and Guan Lan?" However, he didn''t answer Shen Lin''s question. Instead, he mentioned another person that Shen Lin didn''t know how to answer.


    Shao Yishuo, who was sitting on the sofa, heard the conversation between the two and said in astonishment, "Alright, Shen Lin, you brat, you''ve also found a girlfriend!"


    "How come I don''t know about this?" Shao Yishuo took a cup of wine and slowly placed it on the tea table. "Come, come. This is your punishment!"


    "What are you talking about? She''s not my girlfriend! " Shen Lin took the wine from Shao Yishuo, a rare depressed expression on his face.


    It had to be known that among the three of them, Shen Lin''s character was extremely comfortable, and he didn''t have the slightest bit of gloominess.


    "What''s wrong? Did something bad happen? Do you need this bro''s help! " Shao Yishuo had a malicious smile on his face, causing goosebumps to appear all over Shen Lin''s body.


    "Get the hell away from me. If you dare to provoke her, I''ll beat you to death!"


    Shen Lin and Shao Yishuo sat on the other side of the table, chatting while looking at the wine with a strange expression.


    The two chatted for a while before they saw the dazed Xiu Lun sitting beside them.


    "I can assure you, the Bian Xiuran is thinking of spring!" Shao Yishuo swirled his wine cup with an unfathomable smile on his face.


    Shen Lin directly pushed Shao Yishuo to the side and said, "Scram, anyone with eyes can see such a thing, fine!"


    While the three of them were drinking, Jojuan was still thinking about why the cultivation method today was so abnormal.


    However, in the end, Qiao Chuan was unable to think of any possibility.


    The next day, at work, as soon as he got out of the elevator, he met the menagerie who was coming out of another elevator.


    When he saw Xiuran, he immediately turned around and walked into his office.


    She couldn''t help but wonder, why would a CEO come here earlier than her?


    The thin Xiu Nan saw Qiao Chuan An''s dodging movement, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, he only felt that it was funny.


    When did he become a monster?


    The more she wanted to avoid him, the more he didn''t want her to have her way.


    When it was time for him to go to work, he gave the order that he would visit the company today.


    Everyone in the company found it strange to receive the order from the secretary of the thin-haired man.


    "Chu An, what do you think of this CEO? Weren''t we supposed to be patrolling the sub-departments?" "Why are you thinking of patrolling our departments today?" His colleague next to him leaned over and said to him.


    "I just arrived, so I''m not too sure." Qiao Chuan pinched his fingers and stopped writing. "Let''s work. We have no problems anyway."


    The people in the office only exchanged a few words before they started to work.


    After all, the company had a lot of things to do, so it didn''t leave much time for them to talk about these things that had nothing to do with work.


    The thin cultivator quickly brought the Ministry of Justice to patrol the area. He stayed at Qiao Chunan''s position for a few seconds, causing his heartbeat to quicken. He was afraid something unexpected would happen.


    However, Bian Shuang saw that Jojuan was embarrassed and came to where she was several times.


    Not long after they went to other departments, some of them came to their department.


    "Chu An, I really feel that the CEO''s inspection is a bit strange. There''s nothing wrong with our department, why does it feel like the CEO is targeting our department?"


    The colleague at the front table couldn''t help but start talking to him the second time he left.


    "I also think it''s strange, but let''s work hard." After suppressing the thought of gossiping at the front table, Qiao Chunan sent Bo Xiufang a text.


    "Xiu Nan, can you not stay in our department? Your colleagues all thought it was strange."


    As soon as he heard his cell phone ring, he knew that it must have been from Qiao Chuan.


    Looking at the words written on it, the corners of the thin cultivator''s mouth slightly raised. At that time, he would stop his inspection and return to his office. He did like to tease Qiao Chuan, but he did not dare to tease her directly.


    Otherwise, there wouldn''t be such an interesting thing happening in the future.


    "Mm, then I won''t come. Wait for me this afternoon. Grandpa wants me to take you home for dinner. " Tuppence also sent a text message back to Jocelyn.


    The sound of his phone vibrating on the table made him open his phone to have a look.


    She saw that her grandfather had written that he wanted her to go to eat. Was this to meet her parents?


    Qiao Chao An''s expression was slightly nervous. He used to go to the Bo family with his children, but now he went to the Bo family as the girlfriend of Bo Xiu Rou.


    Thinking of this, she felt like she didn''t know how to move her hands and feet.


    On the other side, Xi Xiuran did not know that a text message from him had made Qiao Chun An at a loss of what to do.


    When it was time to get off work, when he saw that everyone in the office had left, the feeling of nervousness returned.


    In the afternoon, she worked hard to make herself forget about meeting her parents tonight, but as the people in the company slowly walked away, the nerve-wracking feeling returned.


    Xi Xiuran also knew that Qiao Chuan An did not want others to discover the relationship between them. Although he felt helpless, he still waited for the company members to finish their work before leaving the CEO''s office.


    "Let''s go, our family is still waiting for us." When he saw that she was still sitting in the office, he knocked on the door.

 C83

    Only when Baoshu came to call Jojouan did he come out of his own world. He calmed himself down and followed him down the stairs.


    But to prevent the security guards from seeing it, Jojouan and Persephone went their separate ways.


    It was funny to see him like this.


    However, he still listened to Qiao Chuan An''s words.


    After he got into the car, he quickly fastened his seat belt. Ye Zichen turned his head to look at her smiling eyes, while the blush on his face immediately appeared.


    "Chu An, why do I feel like we''re interacting with each other underground?"


    "Of course not," Qiao Chu An looked out of the window with some uneasiness.


    He just smiled and drove back to the Bo family''s mansion.


    After parking the car, Qiao Chuan saw Bo Anjin who was waiting for him on the side.


    When Bo Anjin saw Qiao Chuan, he immediately reported to him, "Auntie Qiao, I''ll bring you to see the eggplant I grew today. It''s all good now, I grew the eggplant at noon today."


    Qiao Chuan held the hand of Bo Anjin and walked towards the garden in the backyard of the villa.


    The branches of the eggplant were still green with furry thorns, but they were old.


    The thin one did not follow them, but went into the living room.


    Originally, Qiao Chunan planned to buy some things. However, he was told to treat this as a normal meal and didn''t bring anything with him.


    But even so, he bought some fruit.


    Of course, the fruit had been brought into the living room by the shaman himself.


    After they finished looking at the eggplant on the flowerbed, they returned to the living room.


    The sky was still bright, but the living room was already lit up.


    The table was already set up with food, waiting for the two of them.


    "Grandpa Bo." When Qiao Chuan saw the old man waiting in the living room, he greeted him with a faint smile.


    Old Man Bo nodded and let Qiao Chun An sit down.


    After the last time when Old Master Bo was hospitalized, Qiao Chunan''s relationship with Old Master Bo had improved a lot. Now that they had a relationship as thin as a rune, it was as if they were relatives.


    "Little Qiao, this grandson of mine is a little bored. When he makes you angry in the future, tell me and I will help you." During the meal, the old man said some things about the rune, but Qiao Chunan just listened and didn''t say anything else.


    "Not at all, the people here are very good." Jojouan did not refuse, but he also complimented her on it.


    The smile on Old Man Bo''s face became much more sincere when he heard Qiao Chuan An''s praise of Bo Xiuran.


    Bo Anjin also joined in the conversation. The conversation at the table was very warm.


    Just when Old Man Bo was saying when they would get married and that Qiao Chunan would be embarrassed, the phone of the thin shaman rang.


    Not many people knew about the personal phone call.


    Thus, when the phone rang, the voices of the people at the dining table became quieter.


    "Hello, Shen Lin. Is something the matter?" He looked at the phone with Shen Lin''s number on it, got up, picked it up and walked towards the French windows.


    After saying a few words, the thin cultivator immediately responded, "Yes, I understand. I will come over immediately."


    After hanging up the phone, he walked over and informed the three people on the table that he was ready to leave.


    Looking at the expression on his face, Jojouan could not tell how important it was to get him out so quickly.


    Old Man Bo saw Qiao Chuan''s expression and comforted, "You don''t have to worry. That grandson of mine does have some ability. Come, let''s continue eating."


    Hearing Old Man Bo say this, Qiao Chu An thought for a bit. Since he couldn''t help anyway, he might as well relax and wait for when he needed help.


    After putting this matter down, the atmosphere at the table became relaxed once more.


    "You said my mother did this when she was in school?" There was a gentle smile on his face when he heard Old Man Bo talk about his mother.


    Her mother had always been gentle in her mind, and she had never expected to be so lively.


    "At that time, your mother was the dream lover of many of our students. In other words, she was now a goddess." Old Master Bo was an old man, but his heart was not.


    He didn''t want to sound like an old man at all.


    "Your mother, your father, and Gu Yu, my good-for-nothing son. Of all the students I''ve taught, they''re the most noisy." When he said these things, there was a clear look of nostalgia in Old Man Bo''s eyes.


    It was easy to imagine the mood of the white-haired old man giving away the black-haired man because of the accident that happened to his parents.


    At this point, Qiao Chu An changed the topic.


    She had heard from the old man that her parents were the old man''s students. However, she didn''t know that the father was not only a classmate of hers, they seemed to have a good relationship.


    Even Gu Nan''s father Gu Yu had a good relationship with her parents.


    But why had they come this far?


    Jocelyn doesn''t know about these things.


    After chatting for a while, seeing that it was already late, Qiao Chuan asked to leave.


    Old Man Bo did not force Qiao Chu to settle down.


    After finishing washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Qiao Chunan followed the advice of the old man and asked the Bo family''s driver to take her home.


    After all, it was quite dangerous for a girl to ride alone at night.


    When he returned home, it was inconceivable that his parents could be on good terms with her father.


    Last time she only thought it was an ordinary classmate, she didn''t expect that their relationship wasn''t too bad.


    After Qiao Chunan finished his washing up, he went to sleep, while the Mentor was busy with his work. "


    The phone call that he received was from Shen Lin.


    Shen Lin''s company was related to the development of the internet. He received news that someone was preparing for the Black Dragon''s Scripture.


    Guan Guan Lan was specially invited by Lan Shuyan from overseas to make Shanghua Entertainment the leading company in the entertainment circle.


    And as the trump card of their company, it was impossible for him to leave any black spots.


    When Bo Xiuran saw Shen Lin, he had already called Guan Lan, his manager and the company''s chief steward over.


    Shen Lin had helped Qiao Chunan suppress the blacklisted material previously, so he had some experience in handling this matter.


    When Shangguan Lan saw Shen Lin, her eyes flashed, but she quickly suppressed it.


    The group discussed for nearly an hour before coming up with a plan.


    Of course, this plan would not damage her image as a government official. Of course, there were still a few other options.


    Shen Lin knew that his opponent''s company was preparing to use the internet for a long time, but he didn''t know which side they were going to use or what they were going to use.


    Guan Jinglan was the pillar of Shanghua Entertainment, so it was impossible for her to fall like that.

 C84

    By the time he had finished preparing for the aftermath of this incident, it was already 11 PM.


    When he drove back to the house, the crescent moon hanging on the black curtain was pale white.


    The next day, when Qiao Chuan An went to work, he met his former colleague from Shanghua Entertainment at the elevator.


    "Why are you here so early today?" Qiao Chunan stayed in Shanghua Entertainment for a few months and knew that his colleagues in the Ministry of Justice had strangled him at eight-thirty every day. It was not early at all.


    "Chu An, you don''t know about this, but our rival company is preparing the Underworld officials. We, the Ministry of Justice, should be busy with this." When one of his colleagues saw him, he immediately complained.


    Because no matter what, at one point someone began to go black. Since the Public Relations Department had responded, the Ministry of Justice had to follow along as well.


    They had to file the lawyer''s letter that was to be sent out, and they had to file the case that was to be filed.


    "The officials'' classic has been cheated?" Hearing this news, Qiao Chu An was surprised. However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was normal.


    After following Shangguan Lan for a period of time, she naturally knew her opponent''s ability to attract gold. With such a person around, her opponent''s company would definitely think of ways to pull her down.


    After all, the entertainment circle only had so many top tier resources. Since they were taken over by the government officials, the others naturally had no other choice.


    "That''s right, Shangguan Lan is the pillar of our Shang Hua City. It is impossible for her to be betrayed by us from above. We have to be prepared for it."


    "Then you guys should be busy." Once the problem arose in Shanghua, the Ministry of Justice was extremely busy.


    "Yeah, my elevator is here, I have to get busy."


    "Alright, you can go now."


    When the elevator reached the Shanghua floor, one of his colleagues told him and immediately went back to his office.


    Qiao Chu An went to his office, thinking that this was probably the reason why Xi Qiulin had suddenly left last night.


    Entertainment companies make money this is a needless thing to say. At the current stage, GM was on the right track, and only Shanghua Entertainment was still in the process of development.


    Thinking about the government, Qiao Chuan An had a good influence on this person.


    She knew he was a good guy when she worked with her team.


    She didn''t know about the other celebrities, but she knew that they were better than Duan Wan.


    Similarly, when the flowers are red and the sun shines bright, the officials'' classics didn''t have Duan Wan''s overbearing and domineering feeling.


    Not long after he left for work, he arrived at the CEO''s office.


    After knowing that Bo Xiuniang was here, Qiao Chuan decided to ask about the matter of Guan Lan.


    Shangguan Lan could be considered one of her superiors.


    After all, she had been with her team for a long time.


    Holding the documents in his hand, Qiao Chuan walked into the CEO''s office while watching the brave warrior''s expression.


    Before this, their department had thought of coming into close contact with the CEO, but they had never survived for more than three days before being defeated.


    It had been almost half a month since they had last thought of the matter.


    He really was a brave warrior!


    As for the other aspects, they never thought of them at all.


    The main reason was that the lesson from the past was still bloody and sparkling. No one was thinking of using their position to hook up with the Shuriken.


    After Qiao Chuan entered the office, he handed the documents over to the mending officer. After he was done signing, he asked about the matter regarding Guan Lan.


    "Xiu Nan, I heard that Miss Guan will have someone disrespect her recently. What happened?"


    "Nothing." The thin cultivator passed the signed documents to Qiao Chunan. He was not willing to talk about the matter with Guan Zhilan.


    Seeing this, Qiao Chao An did not ask any further. He held the documents in his hand and walked out of the CEO''s office.


    However, a complicated smile appeared on his face.


    When Qiao Chunan walked out of the office, Xiu Nang pressed his forehead and saw that the work on his hands was done.


    The Public Relations department under his command was ready to act. When the situation was such that he had to, he would release the blacklisted material against his family members.


    At the same time, he also picked out Shanghua Entertainment''s resources to once again select the famous Shangguan Lan and arranged for her to have a few conversations with fans.


    These things were very busy, and Qiao Chu An could feel that the thin Shura was very serious in doing these things. She didn''t bother him and returned to the spot where they used to be.


    She had never looked for her alone, except to ask for his signature.


    Xi Qiulin had been busy dealing with the matter of the government officials being blacklisted. Qiao Chunan had also been busy with some legal matters related to the GM company. The two of them were very busy.


    The previously ambiguous atmosphere disappeared with this hustle and bustle.


    And Bo Anjin alone at home is also very unhappy.


    Her father didn''t have time to spend with her, and even the time he spent on the phone with Auntie Qiao every night was shortened.


    Seeing her father leave early and return late every day, Bo Anjin curled his lips unhappily. He knew that once his father got busy, it was very easy for him to forget about everything else.


    Now, he really wanted Auntie Qiao to be his mother. The last time Auntie Qiao went to the kindergarten to pick her up, the teachers knew that he had a mother, but the classmates didn''t.


    Every time he told them he had a mother, they always said he was lying, but he wasn''t lying at all. He had a mother.


    Auntie Qiao was his mother.


    It was all his father''s fault, his father was useless. It had already been a few days, and Auntie Qiao was still Auntie Qiao, not his mother.


    Another day, when Lan Qing returned late in the morning, Bo Anjin was waiting for him in the room.


    When he opened the door, he saw a person sitting on the sofa in his room. His voice was gentle as he walked over, bent down, and rubbed Bo Anjin''s head, "An An, why are you here? Why aren''t you going to sleep? "


    "Dad, I''m waiting for you." Bo Anjin''s face was tense as he looked up at Bo Xiuran with a solemn expression.


    Seeing this, Xiu Yin was amused, she rubbed her head, then asked with a smile: "An Xin is waiting for daddy, what''s the matter? Do you want to sleep with Dad tonight? "


    "No, An An is a big child, I won''t sleep with dad anymore." Anthea felt that she was a big child and that she couldn''t stick to her father anymore. Besides, he wanted to sleep with her now.


    "Then why are you looking for daddy?" Originally, he was still feeling somewhat tired. However, after seeing Bo Anjin, he felt that his spirit had improved a lot.


    He sat beside Qiao Chunan, tilted his head to look at the round cheeks of Bo Anjin. The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, he felt that it was nice to have a child.


    "Dad, you''ve been busy these past few days and haven''t been able to spend time with me. Aunt Qiao also hasn''t had the time to come and play with me. I''m very bored by myself." Extremely boring. "And very unhappy."

 C85

    In order to prevent her from failing his words, Bo Anjin had even specially added the word ''special'' to let her know that he was truly bored and unhappy.


    "Then does An An want Father to accompany you?" A smile appeared on the lips of the thin cultivator as he jokingly asked Bo Anjin.


    Bo Anjin did not understand Yu Di''s teasing. All he knew was that he wanted his parents to accompany him.


    "I want Daddy and Auntie Qiao to stay with me."


    "Alright, I''ll bring Auntie Qiao to pick you up from school tomorrow." Looking at the serious expression on Bo Anjin''s face, the thin Xiuran did not continue teasing him. Instead, he gave an answer to Bo Anjin''s question.


    After receiving her promise, Bo Anjin immediately jogged back to his room.


    Looking at the back view of Bo Anjin''s trotting figure, the empress couldn''t help but shake her head with a smile. After that, she went into the bathroom to wash her face and rinse her mouth.


    Putting everything else aside, he had been missing her quite a bit as he hadn''t seen her for the past few days.


    The next day, when Jocelyn came to hand in the information, he told her about it.


    "Chu An, let''s go to pick An An up after work today. He hasn''t been having a good time these two days." The hand holding the pen in Bo Xiunan''s hand paused for a moment. His reserved and indifferent expression softened a lot when he mentioned Bo Anjin.


    Hearing this, Qiao Chuan An looked up at him and asked without thinking, "Why are you unhappy?"


    When she asked the question, she realized that she had overstepped her boundaries and lowered her head in annoyance.


    After seeing Qiao Chuan An''s appearance, the expression on the face of the thin Shura slightly faded, but he suppressed it for a moment. "That means we don''t have time to accompany him."


    "Alright, let''s go pick him up after work today." Qiao Chunan was very sensitive to the changes in a person''s mood. She didn''t know if it was because she showed too much concern for Qiao Chunan that he felt uncomfortable.


    After he finished this sentence, he did not say anything else.


    Since Qiao Chunan didn''t say anything, naturally, Xiuran didn''t ask anymore.


    After working like this for the entire day, it was afternoon when he finally got off work. Just like before, the rest of the people in the company had all left.


    Because Qiao Chunan had already gone to Bo Anjin''s school, he was still going to be the same teacher from last time.


    After taking over Bo Anjin from their teacher, the family of three went to a nearby restaurant to eat.


    There were no unpleasant people or things at dinner tonight.


    Bo Anjin ate very happily because he called Auntie Qiao his mother. Auntie Qiao did not reject him, as expected, this restaurant was his favorite restaurant.


    At other times, Bo Anjing would not dare to call Qiao Chuan An''s mother. When he used to call her that, Aunt Qiao was very unhappy and explained to him why she couldn''t call her mother that.


    But in this restaurant, Auntie Qiao would not blame him.


    After dinner, Bo Anjing wanted to go back to her own home so she could separate from Aunt Qiao. Bo Anjin was very unhappy, holding Qiao Chuan''s hand all the way home.


    "Auntie Qiao, I don''t want to go home today. I want to stay at your place." As Bo Anjin continued to speak, his pitiful expression softened Qiao Chuan''s heart.


    However, for no reason, she had left her child with him. Just thinking about it made her feel that she had let down her cultivation.


    After all, this child was him. How embarrassing was it for her to take over someone else''s child like this.


    "An An, go home with your dad. Your dad doesn''t have time to accompany you these days, so you spend more time together." Qiao Chao An could not think of a compromise, so he could only say this.


    She did like Anthea, but Anthea was still the child of the thin shaman.


    She couldn''t possibly deprive her child''s father of his time with him because she liked him.


    "Then why don''t dad come with me to Auntie Qiao''s house?" Bo Anjin''s eyes were wide and bright. When he said those words, they were very clear.


    But when she heard what he said, she blushed.


    Her house was a room and a room, so it was impossible for her to let Shura live there.


    "Auntie Qiao''s family is so small. You saw it when you lived with Auntie Lin in the past. How could you ask your dad to live with you now?"


    Qiao Chunan took a deep breath, pressed down on his beating heart and whispered to Bo Anjin.


    He could clearly see the gentleness in the eyes of Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin through the rearview mirror. It was as if there was a layer of peaceful light surrounding him.


    "Then how about Auntie Qiao moving?" I want to live with Auntie Qiao. When Auntie Lin comes back, I can stay in a first year university room. "


    After listening to Qiao Chuan An''s words, Bo Anjin also remembered that Auntie Qiao''s family had another Auntie Lin.


    "That''s right, Auntie Qiao, where is Auntie Lin going now?"


    "Auntie Lin has been going to perform recently. She will probably be back in a few months." A tour like this usually took several months to end.


    As for moving, she didn''t have that idea yet.


    She was still rejoicing at the fact that her home was one room and one room. Otherwise, she would not know how to reject Bo Anjin''s words.


    Qiao Chuan let out a sigh of relief, but he did not expect that even if there was a room and a room, he would still be able to squeeze the thin manicure inside.


    If she had known that even a single room would be able to accommodate her, she would not have been glad that her house was a single room.


    "Then Auntie Qiao, let Dad and I send you upstairs." After Bo Xiuran parked the car, Bo Anjin immediately followed Qiao Chunan out of the car and let him out as well.


    Qiao Chuanan did not think much of it. He directly let Bo Anjin follow Bo Xiuniang upstairs.


    After entering the living room, Qiao Chuan gave Bo Xiuyi a cup of hot water and sat in the room for a while. Seeing that Bo Xiuren had no intention of leaving, he turned to look at Bo Anjin.


    "An An, it''s time for you to go home and rest." Qiao Chuan felt embarrassed and decided to chase him away. It was worth it to let him leave first. If he did that, he would definitely leave.


    Bo Anjin sat on the sofa and held Qiao Chuan''s hand. His eyes darted around, but he had no intention of leaving.


    "Auntie Qiao, I want to stay with you, I don''t want to go!" Bo Anjin was making a ruckus, but he did not want to leave.


    Seeing this, there was nothing that could be done. There was no way that she could have Bo Anjin directly taken away by the thin elementalist.


    "Then be good, Auntie Qiao will let you stay here." Qiao Chun An was very soft-hearted towards Bo An Jin. After a short while, Qiao Chun An agreed.


    "Mhmm, I''ll be good. Then Auntie Qiao, can you tell me a story together with dad?" I haven''t heard you two tell stories with me yet. "


    Bo Anjin jumped up from the sofa and hugged Qiao Chuan. He had a very happy expression on his face.

 C86

    Seeing her so happy, he didn''t even want to call her home now.


    As long as Anthea was happy.


    "Then let''s go wash up now." Qiao Chao An rubbed Bo Anjin''s head and led him to the bathroom. On the other hand, Bo Shougong was sitting on the sofa outside, listening to the conversation inside the sanitary towel. The corners of his mouth curled up into a gentle smile.


    After the two of them had washed up, Bo Anjin laid on the small bed beside Qiao Chuan''s bed. This bed was bought for him by Bo Anjin the first time he came to stay.


    After that, the few times that Bo Anjin slept in that small bed.


    Of course, he had no objections to the small bed. As long as he lived with Aunt Qiao, he felt that he had a mother, so sleeping in the small bed was quite comfortable.


    The room was carpeted. Jojouan sat on the carpet and told a story to Bo Anjin. At Bo Anjin''s request, the Shura entered his room.


    Although Lin Hanxia also had some things, they weren''t many. Every time she performed, she had to take a lot of things with her.


    Bo Anjin pulled the two of them to tell him a story. By the time he had coaxed Bo Anjin to sleep, it was already very late, and Qiao Chun An''s legs were already numb.


    When he was about to get up, he couldn''t help but fall to the side.


    When Baoshu saw this, he immediately reached out to hug Qiao Chuan.


    Qiao Chun An turned his head to look at the girl. He felt a little embarrassed, but he didn''t want to wake up Bo An Jin. He whispered, "Thank you."


    "I''m your boyfriend, it''s only right for me to do these things." Xiuran picked up Qiao Chuan An and placed him on the bed. He rubbed his leg and said softly, "I''ll massage your leg. This way, you won''t feel uncomfortable sleeping."


    "It''s fine if I come myself. You can go back now, otherwise it''ll be too late and it won''t be safe to go home." Qiao Chuan stopped Xiuran''s hand and said embarrassedly, "I''m too small here, otherwise I would have left you here."


    "I just need to sleep on the sofa outside. You can go to sleep now." Ai Hui was not that foolish. At this time, he was alone, and he wasn''t going home.


    "Good night." He was about to say something when he got up and planted a kiss on his forehead. Then he left the bedside lamp and walked out of the room on long, long legs.


    An indescribable feeling of warmth washed over him as he watched her back.


    He went to the sofa outside. Looking at the sofa, the empress''s mouth twitched. He did not even know what disease he had contracted to make himself sleep on the sofa.


    However, when Bian Shuang went to wash up, Qiao Chun An still got up and took out the new bed sheet that he had bought last time.


    Although the weather wasn''t too cold, it was too much to let the thin shaman sleep on the sofa. Since he didn''t want to leave, she had to at least let him sleep comfortably.


    However, the thought of moving home emerged in his mind.


    She knew that she could not bear to part with Bo Anjin. If he suggested this idea again, she would not let him sleep on the sofa every single time.


    Without mentioning anything else, he was her last time. How could he keep sleeping on the sofa last time?


    When he finished washing up, he saw that there was a blanket on the sofa. The smile on his face never left it.


    The next day, when Qiao Chuan woke up, he found that Bo Anjin was already awake, even lying on the bed beside him.


    "An An, why are you awake so early?" Qiao Chao An reached his hand out from under the blanket, rubbed Bo Anjin''s head and got out of bed.


    When he walked out of the room and saw Bo Anjin laying out breakfast on the tea table, he almost rubbed his eyes to see if what he saw was real.


    "You''re awake? I just told Little Li to buy breakfast, so you can eat whatever you want. In a while, we''ll send An An to school together with you. " Baoshu greeted him as if he were his master when he saw him coming out.


    When Qiao Chuan walked into the bathroom, he discovered that there was some toothpaste and a toothbrush on the toilet towel. There was an indescribable feeling of discomfort.


    However, before she could say anything, Bo Anjing had told Qiao Chunan to hurry out to eat breakfast, otherwise it would be cold.


    Qiao Chuan shook his head. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he walked out without thinking about anything else.


    After breakfast, Qiao Chunan was a little dizzy as he accompanied Bo Anjin to school.


    Qiao Chun An held Bo An Jin''s hand and handed him over to the school teacher. Bo An Jin had been skipping the entire time. The excitement on her body made Qiao Chun An feel a little funny.


    Of course, Qiao Chunan didn''t know what Bo Anjin was excited about.


    He probably wanted to show that he had a mother in front of his classmates.


    Qiao Chunan waved to Bo Anjin as he entered the school. Then, he turned around and got into the car.


    The two went to work together, but when they were almost at the office, Qiao Chuan got off the car and did not sit together in the company''s parking lot.


    When Qiao Chu An arrived at the office, his colleague looked at her curiously. "Chu An, you always come half an hour in advance. Why are you only here today?"


    It was not because he felt that Qiao Chuan An had not come to work earlier, but because he was curious.


    Their work was divided up. Even if someone worked overtime, they would still be doing their own thing. There was no need for a team to work overtime for one person.


    "It was a bit late to send my friend''s child to school." As for whether this friend was a boyfriend, Qiao Chuan felt it was better not to say anything about it.


    "Oh, so that''s the case. No wonder, now the child ¡­" His colleagues also started to talk about their children. However, when they were at work, the two of them clearly ended the topic.


    The thin lips of the man who had heard her say ''friend'' curled as he passed by her, but his expression remained aloof and aloof.


    After working all day and just as he was about to get off work, Qiao Chao An received a call from Bo Anjin asking her to pick him up from school. She even said that she had been bullied by the school kids.


    When Jojouan heard this, he went to the kindergarten himself without even giving notice.


    Not long after Jocelyn arrived at the kindergarten, the Shuriken arrived.


    Qiao Chuan chatted with the teacher and found that the problem wasn''t too serious. However, he needed the parents to accompany him.


    Knowing this, Qiao Chun An did not reject Bo An Jin''s request to stay with her.


    While Qiao Chunan was chatting with the kindergarten teacher, Xi Shuiyan went to find Bo Anjin.


    "An An, tell me what''s going on." Bo Anjin was his own child. What kind of character did he have? How could he not know?


    Don''t look at the normally cute and well-behaved Bo Anjin, but deep down he belonged to the Bo Family. The restless blood of the Bo Family didn''t stop at all.

 C87

    In the past, he was bullied by his kindergarten friends, so he had to return the favor.


    He knew that he had his father to protect him from. As long as he didn''t make any mistakes in his principles, his father would definitely help him.


    He had sent Bo Anjin to this kindergarten for almost two years and had always been told by the dean that he had bullied other children. But now, he had been bullied by another child. This was simply inconceivable.


    "Isn''t it all your fault? If you hadn''t failed, I would have stayed with Auntie Qiao a long time ago." Looking at her father, Bo Anjin pouted and said in a dissatisfied tone, "You only came to live with me yesterday. Father, you have to quickly marry Auntie Qiao and bring her home."


    Hearing Bo An Jin''s words, Bo Xiuran reached out his hand to rub Bo Anjin''s head in amusement. He said earnestly, "An An, there are some things that cannot be rushed."


    He still hadn''t figured out his own thoughts, so he naturally couldn''t rush these things.


    Although Bo Anjin was smart, he did not know much about these emotional matters. All he knew was that he wanted his mother.


    And Auntie Qiao was the most suitable person to be his mother.


    "If you don''t work hard, then I''ll help you." Bo Anjin glanced at the little girl as if she was a little adult. With such a stupid expression in his eyes, the little girl found it funny.


    For his own son, he was indulgent.


    He felt rather indebted to his son. Now that the child was happier, the guilt in his heart lessened.


    "Then what are you going to do?" A hint of amusement flashed in the thin Shura''s eyes, but it did not dampen Bo Anjin''s enthusiasm.


    He knew his son had a lot of evil ideas, maybe he really would make Qiao Chu''s room not so deep.


    It was unknown if it was because five years had been too big of a blow to Qiao Chuan An that she had always been indifferent to people. Only when she was facing her friend did her expression soften a little.


    Although Qiao Chun An usually looked like a dough that could be kneaded by anyone, but the ice in her heart was standing on end and she didn''t put many people and things in her heart.


    Even if it was him, he could feel that she had a sliver of meaning to him. But even if she told him about the past, she still didn''t open the door to her heart.


    He was both at a loss as to what to do and a little amused at the same time.


    He wanted to break that layer of ice at the bottom of her heart, but that layer of ice had been reinforced by him before.


    "I want to move into Auntie Qiao''s house. This way, you can have more time to come find me and interact more with Auntie Qiao." While Bo Anjin was speaking, his gaze would occasionally glance at the Xiu Nun beside him.


    Seeing that he didn''t have any intentions of opposing her, he continued, "This way, I can still know if there are any other uncles that have feelings for Auntie Qiao."


    Alright, in truth, the reason why Bo Anjin talked so much about flowers was because she wanted to move in with Qiao Chuan An.


    He just likes to live with Auntie Qiao.


    Bo Xiuran also saw the meaning behind Bo Anjin''s words, but he did not say anything. He was very optimistic that he could use Bo Anjin as an excuse to meet with Qiao Chun An.


    He could tell that Qiao Chuan was easily softhearted towards Bo Anjin.


    If it wasn''t for Bo Anjin''s argument last night, he would definitely be kicked out of the Bo house like last time.


    "I can promise to stay in your Aunt Qiao''s house, but you have to listen to your Aunt Qiao." He did not reject Bo Anjin''s request. He only made some requests.


    While Bo Anjin and Bo Xiuran were speaking, Qiao Chunan''s side had also finished talking.


    Qiao Chunan brought Bo Anjin back to his home. As for Bo Xiuran, he didn''t mention that he wanted to live with Qiao Chunan at this time.


    After all, this room was a little small, so he couldn''t possibly sleep on the sofa.


    Besides, he still knew that he had overdone it.


    Qiao Chunan held Bo Anjin''s warm hand. When they arrived at the car, Qiao Chunan seriously said to Bo Anjin, "An An, you have to remember this. There are a lot of people who love you in this world, so don''t be unhappy about those who don''t love you. "


    "You live with people who love you. We can''t like everyone, but we have to learn to like ourselves." When he said these words, he became gentle and anxious.


    Gentle was meant for outsiders, but gentle was meant for people that they approved of.


    "I know." Bo Anjin lowered his head and played with his hands. He felt that he was being a little too naughty, causing Aunt Qiao to worry.


    But he really wanted to be with Auntie Qiao.


    He didn''t think Aunt Qiao would blame him.


    He will be good and obedient in the future.


    "Auntie told you this not because she wants to blame you, but because our An''an was very cute. Don''t be unhappy because of others."


    Seeing that Bo Anjin had lowered his head, Qiao Chuan couldn''t help thinking about it. Her words shouldn''t have hurt the child''s self-esteem. He reached out his hand and rubbed Bo Anjin''s head.


    "I''m not unhappy." Bo Anjin held Qiao Chuan''s hand, his eyes shining, "Aunt Qiao, what are we going to eat tonight? Still going to the restaurant? "


    "No, I''ll do it at home tonight." It wasn''t that he felt unsanitary when he went out to eat every day. Rather, he went out every day to eat. Even then, he no longer had the pleasure of cooking by himself.


    "Mhmm, then let''s go home to eat. Auntie Qiao, I want to eat ¡­" Joachim took her hand, and they sat in the back of the car, while Pershunn once again acted as the driver.


    Originally, Xi Xiuran wanted to go get a meal, but when he sent Qiao Chuan and the others home, he received a call from the company.


    During this period of time, Guan Lan''s matters were still in the process of being resolved, and it was impossible for Xiuran to leave. Yesterday, he only had the time to pick up Bo Anjin because he had specifically ordered the subsequent matters.


    After the man left, Qiao Chunan brought him to the supermarket and they happily made dinner together.


    The more she stayed with him, the more Bo Anjin wanted him to be her mother, preferably as soon as possible.


    Time passed slowly like this, and finally, the matter of Shangguan Lan was settled. Not only did this result cause the opponent to make a mistake, it also increased her reputation.


    As Qiao Chuan was Shang Hua Entertainment''s legal advisor, he had helped a lot when dealing with the matter regarding Guan Lan.


    Qiao Chunan''s impression of Guan Guan Lan was very good, and their relationship was getting better and better when it came to dealing with this matter.


    While Lin Hanxiao was on a business trip in another city, Qiao Chuan finally made a good friend in this city.


    Of course, Qiao Chuan told Lin Hanyue about this too.


    Not only was Lin Hanxiao not sad, but he was actually very happy that Qiao Chuan An could make friends with him.


    After staying for a few days with Qiao Chun An, Qiao Chuan sent Bo An Jin home.


    After all, she wasn''t his child, so how could he let his child stay where he was?

 C88

    After a day''s work, Jojouan received an invitation from Guan Lan. The better they went together to a private restaurant.


    Now that Shangguan Lan was a big star, she naturally had to pay more attention to this aspect of things.


    "Chu An, the food in this restaurant is not bad." Shangguan Lan entered and hung up her clothes. Her entire demeanor was cold, but her eyes were filled with spring water, making people''s hearts tremble when they looked at her.


    "Mm, this one is pretty good." Qiao Chunan was once the first lady of S city. He had a basic understanding of S city.


    Of course, she had changed a little after not coming back for a few years, but now that she had been back for almost a year, she had become more familiar with strange places.


    While the two of them were talking, Qiao Chuan''s mobile phone rang.


    "Sorry, I need to answer a call first." Seeing that it was a call from Bo Anjin, Qiao Chuanan informed Guan Lan before going to the other side to answer the phone.


    Shangguan Lan looked at Qiao Chunan''s back, her eyes flashed, and all sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind.


    When Qiao Chu An picked up the phone, he heard an angry voice, "Auntie Qiao, my dad is on a business trip, I''m a pitiful nobody. Do you want to take me in?"


    "If you don''t take me in, I won''t have a place to go. I''m just a little pitiful ~"


    Listening to Bo Anjin''s naughty words, Qiao Chun An couldn''t help but laugh out loud, "Don''t say anymore, come over. I''m eating with an aunt right now. How about I come over to pick you up after dinner?"


    "Auntie Qiao, I''m so hungry. I haven''t eaten in a long time. Can you give me some food to eat?" When Bo Anjin saw the words on the television, he still learned it all.


    "Where did you learn this? Come on, come on, it''s where we ate two days ago. " Qiao Chunan did not doubt that the Bo Family abused him at all. She could clearly see the status that Bo Anjin had in the Bo Family.


    "I learned from TV." When Bo Anjin heard Qiao Chuan''s reply, he immediately called for the chauffeur to take him to Qiao Chuan''s side.


    After hanging up the phone, Qiao Chuan informed Shangguan Lan.


    "Lan Lan, my friend''s child is coming over soon. I''ll treat you to a meal next time." Qiao Chuan was afraid that Guan Lan didn''t like children, so he suggested the next meeting.


    "What next time? We haven''t finished eating yet this time." Shangguan Lan looked at Qiao Chuan An and retorted, "It''s not like I''m being shameful."


    There was nothing shameful about it, so she knew that the child she was referring to should be the child of the empress.


    The two of them waited over here and called a waiter in to add some of her favorite dishes.


    Half an hour later, under the lead of Bo Anjin''s bodyguard, they arrived at the private room.


    "Thank you Auntie, my mom is inside." Bo Anjin''s melodious voice came from the door. Qiao Chun An heard the voice and pushed his chair away to get her.


    "Auntie Qiao, I''m here." Jojouan opened the door and was greeted by the rush of Bo Anjin into her arms.


    After sending off the waiter and the bodyguard, Qiao Chao An held Bo Anjin''s hand and walked to the private room.


    "An An, this is Aunt Guan." Qiao Chunan introduced to Bo Anjin.


    Bo Anjin glanced at Guan Lan a few times. Although he felt that this auntie was very beautiful, he still liked Auntie Qiao more.


    "Hello Auntie Guan." Bo Anjin obediently greeted Shangguan JingLan before sitting down next to Qiao Chuan An.


    Qiao Chuanan didn''t introduce Bo Anjin to Guan Lan, he only mentioned that he was one of her friends'' children.


    Shangguan Lan looked at the relationship between Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin. Her heart was a little complicated, but she didn''t say anything else.


    After dinner, Qiao Zheng An brought Bo Anjin back to his house. During this time, Bo Xiu Ming was on a business trip, and while Bo Anjin was staying at her house, Qiao Chun An also called to inform Bo Xiuran.


    The thin elder did not refuse, while the thin elder also had a sense of support.


    There were a lot of old men in the Bo family, and the children also needed a female role.


    Qiao Zheng An would first send Bo Anjin to kindergarten, then work. After work, he would go back to pick her up from school.


    These few days, Qiao Chun An really felt like he was taking care of a child.


    She spent most of her free time on Bo Anjin.


    Although he was a bit busy, he had a very happy life.


    Another night, when Joachim received the news that Bo Xiuran was coming back, he knew that Bo Anjin was going back to the Bo house tomorrow.


    Qiao Chu An was a little reluctant.


    These past few days, their relationship had truly deepened by a lot.


    At the same time, he thought of his own child. I wonder how her child is, whether her mother will love him, whether his father taught him.


    "Auntie Qiao, what''s wrong?" When Bo Anjin saw the unhappy expression on Qiao Chunan''s face, he immediately reached out and touched Qiao Chunan''s face. His voice was filled with concern, "Did An An angered you?"


    "No, no, An An is so cute. How could she make Auntie angry? Auntie just thought of some unhappy things and it has nothing to do with An." Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, Qiao Chunan was a little angry at himself for being distracted by his children.


    When Bo Anjin saw that there was no longer any unhappiness in Qiao Chuan An''s heart, he also happily ate his meal.


    On the second day, Qiao Chao An told Bo Anjin about the matter of Yu Rou''s return.


    Today was a Saturday, so she agreed to come back at 6 pm to pick up Bo Anjin.


    After dinner, he said to Bo Anjin, "An An, your dad will come over later to pick you up. You have to behave yourself when you get home."


    "Oh." Although Bo Anjin was happy to hear that his father had returned, he was still unhappy to think that he couldn''t live with Auntie Qiao.


    "Then Auntie Qiao, when can you be my mother? I want to live with Mom and Dad. You can move to my house, I''ll definitely be very obedient. "


    Once again, Bo Anjin advised Qiao Chunan that he really wanted Auntie Qiao to be his mother.


    "An An, this matter cannot be rushed. Isn''t it good for us to be like this now?" Qiao Chunan was somewhat embarrassed and did not know how to answer this question.


    She still hadn''t figured out the relationship between her and Xi Xiuran, so how could she move to the Bo family right now?


    "It''s not good at all. Now that dad is back, I want to go home. You''re not in that home anymore, but I can''t see dad since I''ve been living here."


    Boya Jin held his breath, looking like he was about to cry. Seeing this, Qiao Chu An was at a loss on what to do. He had no idea what to do.


    Coincidentally, at this moment, the doorbell rang, freeing him from such an environment.

    When he opened the door and saw the thin one, he let out a sigh of relief and let her in.


    "What happened to An An?" Seeing that Bo Anjin seemed like he was about to cry at any moment, he raised his eyebrows and curiously asked, "Could it be that you found out that I was happy when I came back?"


    When Bo Anjin saw that the thin Shura came in, he immediately went forward to hug him on the thigh. With his bright and big eyes, he asked, "Daddy, when will Aunt Qiao become my mother? I want to stay with Auntie Qiao. "


    "Very, very soon." Xiuran''s gaze fell onto Qiao Chuan An''s body. For a split-second, he was frozen, but he suppressed it in an instant.


    When Bo Anjin heard his father''s words, he immediately laughed. At the same time, he reached out his hand to pull Qiao Chuan''s sleeve, raised his head and said happily, "Auntie Qiao, dad said you will soon be my mother."


    Seeing that Bo Anjin was smiling so happily, Qiao Chu An reached out his hand to pinch his round face. He neither explained nor admitted anything but just smiled.


    After the Shuriken gave Bo Anjin a good turn, Qiao Chuan An was lying on the sofa by himself with a dejected look on his face.


    She knew that what he had just said was only for the child, but the moment he said it, she was moved. His heart was beating rather fast.


    However, she quickly adjusted her state of mind.


    Some things that don''t belong to you, don''t even dream about it.


    After all, it was too hard to be frugal.


    She was someone who had truly tried to be frugal.


    She didn''t want to let herself fall into that uncontrollable whirlpool again.


    Looking at the empty room, Qiao Chu An sighed and washed the dishes in the sink.


    "An An, help me clean that piece of cloth." After saying this, Qiao Zheng An suddenly realized that Bo Anjin had gone home.


    He turned around and picked up the cloth that was placed on the short stool beside him.


    This was something that Bo Anjin had intentionally placed here, saying that when Aunt Qiao had finished washing, he could also help from the side.


    After forcing himself to put down these things, he turned around and went back to his room to wash up. If he really couldn''t do it, he would just watch TV and read books. She should be used to living alone.


    On the other side, Bo Xiuran and Bo Anjin went home.


    When Bo Anjin was about to leave, he grabbed his hand, "Dad, why haven''t you married Auntie Qiao back yet?"


    Hearing Qiao Chunan''s question, the thin cultivator stopped and turned around. He sat beside Bo Anjin and said, "An An, matters of the heart must be settled slowly. Don''t worry."


    "I''m very anxious! "I''ve already done that and even lied to Auntie Qiao, but you still haven''t married Auntie Qiao back yet!" Speaking of this matter, Bo Anjin was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.


    "What did you lie to your Auntie Qiao about?" Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, Bo Xiuran only felt that it was funny.


    His son was too warm-hearted. He had originally wanted to rely on him to get close to Qiao Chunan, but he couldn''t wait to push himself over.


    "I don''t feel cute at all about being invited to the parents anymore. If Aunt Qiao finds out that I lied to her, she might not like me anymore."


    Speaking of this matter, thinking that Auntie Qiao might not like him, Bo Anjin started to cry without any warning.


    "I don''t want Auntie Qiao to not like me, I don''t want Auntie Qiao to ignore me. Dad, hurry up and marry Auntie Qiao and bring her home. That way, he will like me more and mom can forgive the child."


    "Where did you learn all this?" Listening to Bo Anjin''s words, Bo Xiuniang could not help but laugh. However, even after laughing, her heart felt somewhat uncomfortable.


    In terms of deceit, he was the one who had deceived Qiao Chuan.


    I just don''t know what she''ll think of him when she finds out the truth.


    However, he would definitely tell her the truth once she had given her all of her heart.


    "I just know." Bo Anjin sobbed a few times, "Dad, you still haven''t answered my question!"


    "Don''t worry, Auntie Qiao will definitely be your mother." He had to say it to her, but he couldn''t say when it would be.


    He didn''t even want to fight anymore.


    He always felt that Qiao Chuan An''s influence on him was too great.


    So much so that he almost forgot that the reason why he let her get along with Bo Anjin was not only to compensate her, but also to get revenge on her.


    "Daddy, that''s what you said. If you didn''t let Auntie Qiao be my mother, I won''t bother with you anymore!" I will do as I say! "


    Bo Anjin raised his fist and said seriously, "Of course I will continue to help you. Dad, you have to work hard too!"


    "You have to do what our teacher said, work hard! If you don''t work hard, you will only fail! "


    Listening to the childish words of Bo Anjin, Yu Xiang wanted to laugh. How come he found that this child was becoming more and more amusing?


    He was even selling chicken soup in front of him.


    "Okay, dad will work hard." A gentle light shone in her eyes. No matter what had happened to Jojen, An''an had brought him so much joy that he did not want to disappoint him.


    As for the revenge against Qiao Chuan, he thought about it. However, he had planned for such a long time, he could not let it go so easily.


    However, he was still a bit annoyed, so he decided to stay away from Qiao Chunan for a while to take a look. He felt that he should calm down and think about what to do.


    Qiao Chao An didn''t know what the emaciated empress was thinking. Instead, she recalled her time with the emaciated empress.


    After returning home, she was invited to work in the Ministry of Justice at Shanghua Entertainment.


    At that time, she still didn''t have a judicial certificate, but Shang Hua Entertainment had greatly improved her ability. Later on, Yue Ran helped her deal with some of the methods Su Ran used to deal with her several times.


    Afterwards, he accompanied him on a business trip, interacted with Shen Lin and Shao Yishuo, and then went back to the Bo family''s matters.


    As well as after she was injured, the thin cultivator made a move towards the Su Clan and the Gu Clan, telling Su Ran to kneel down and admit his mistakes.


    In the end, she became his girlfriend because of Bo Anjin. She had spent too much time together with him over the past year. So much had happened that she even began to admire him from the bottom of her heart.


    At the same time, she vaguely felt that some things were too coincidental.


    It was not that she suspected that he was being nice to her, but that he was being too nice to her.


    However, these things were just like that. Before long, her father would be out of prison, and now she still needed to earn more money. Once her father came out, she would be able to raise him.


    As for the house, it was time to change.


    If her father wanted to live with her, it was too small now, and even if she didn''t live with him, she would have to move to a closer place.


    Easy to take care of her father.

    After he put down the matter with Xiuran, Qiao Chun An started to seriously investigate the surrounding housing resources.


    GM''s salary was not low. Within a reasonable range, she could make her life more comfortable.


    On the second day, he went to work and did not bring home his emotions.


    But when he went to get her to sign, for the first time, he did not enter the CEO''s office.


    The CEO''s secretary told her to just hand the documents over to the secretary. She didn''t need to go in.


    Knowing this, Qiao Chu An was shocked.


    However, he didn''t show it on his face. Instead, he thanked the secretary warmly and returned to his office.


    The people in the office were surprised to see her out so quickly.


    "Chu An, why did you come out so quickly?" Have the documents been signed? " Much of the information in the Ministry of Justice required the CEO''s signature, so it was a little strange to see that Qiao Chun An would return so soon.


    Hearing about his colleague''s culture, Qiao Chuan smiled and said, "The CEO probably felt bored staying there when we went to hand in the information. She told me to give the information to the secretary and send it to us after she was done."


    However, he still gently answered the question that his colleague asked him.


    "Of course, this is all my guess. Right now, the information is all given to the CEO to handle."


    "Ah?" Leave it to the CEO. Who knows when it will be in our hands! " Hearing Qiao Chu An''s words, a burst of wails came from the office. One must know that the reason they had their president sign the documents was because they were in a hurry.


    If he were to do this now, he would definitely be able to do it for an hour or two at night, or even a day or two.


    After Qiao Chunan told this news to his colleagues, he returned to his seat. He felt a bit wronged, but he also understood that it was due to the good fortune of being separated.


    He didn''t even hesitate to use this method to make her understand.


    He probably didn''t want to see her at all.


    Qiao Chuan understood this, and of course he was very cooperative with the emollient''s actions.


    The two of them rarely saw each other in different offices. They purposefully avoided each other for a whole week and never saw each other again.


    At the end of the week, Bo Anjin called him to ask him to come out with him.


    "An An, I need to see my dad this weekend, I''ll come and play with you when I have time, okay?" Qiao Chuan looked at the street light of his district. His eyes flashed with gentleness and his voice was very soft.


    It had been months since he had last seen her father. He wanted to see her father again to see what he had in mind once he came out.


    As for the news about the Resurrection and Gu family, she could just take it from them. She wouldn''t let them off easy.


    All her father needed was peace and old age.


    The next day, he made an appointment to see his father.


    On the other side, Bo Anjin was very unhappy to be alone in his room.


    This week, he had only received six phone calls from Aunt Qiao, and he hadn''t even seen her once.


    His father was a liar and said that he would marry Auntie Qiao back. Now, he didn''t even see Auntie Qiao''s face anymore.


    Bo Anjin stayed in the room, but Xiuran didn''t know how to persuade him. He knew that the further he went, the more he was unhappy.


    Originally, he thought that Qiao Chun An would come today and even thought of a way to hide. However, he did not expect that Qiao Chun An would not come.


    Bo Anjin spent a very unpleasant weekend at home, while her father talked about what he was going to do when he came out.


    However, Qiao Zhen didn''t give him an answer. He just said that they would talk about it when the time came.


    By the time the workday was over, Jojouan was, as usual, avoiding the minuet.


    As he thought of staying away from Jocelyn, he did not look for her.


    At home, Bo Anjin felt that his days were getting more and more difficult. Now, other than calling Qiao Chunan every night, he wouldn''t even be able to see him anymore.


    After another day of being refused by Qiao Chuan to meet him in kindergarten, Bo Anjin felt that he should talk to his father.


    Why did his company have so many things to do? Why did they even have the time to connect him to his school?


    Just when Bo Anjin was about to go and talk to Yu Di, he heard it. "Shen Lin, I''m going to talk to him about the matter you mentioned last time."


    She rubbed her forehead, feeling as if there was a stone blocking her path. Hearing her words, Shen Lin got up from his seat in surprise.


    "That''s such a small matter, why do you want to go personally?"


    "It''s nothing. It''s just that there are some things that I want to see more clearly. I keep having the feeling that something is out of my expectations." When she said this, her tone was clearly very complicated.


    Shen Lin also understood the meaning behind his words. He helplessly sighed, "But I''ve already given that matter to someone else. You should look for something else. If you want me to say, you should look at your own thoughts. Why do you need to hide?"


    I didn''t dodge." "The word ''shun'' and ''cool'' were clearly heard by the man standing in front of the door.


    As for the denial, he didn''t hear it at all. He only knew that the reason he hadn''t seen Auntie Qiao these few days was because his father was hiding from Auntie Qiao.


    If Aunt Qiao knew about this, she would definitely avoid his father.


    No wonder these few days he called Auntie Qiao and Auntie Qiao did not agree.


    Thinking of this, Bo Anjin''s eyes lit up like water, and he wanted to cry.


    However, he did not directly ask the thin Shura, but went downstairs. His father did not work hard, and he still wanted to escape, so he would just work hard on his own.


    Anyway, he had to make Auntie Qiao his mother.


    It was night, and Bo Anjin told the driver to take him to Qiao Chunan''s place. The driver didn''t dare to send him off, so he called Bo Xiuran.


    After receiving a phone call from the driver, he immediately rushed down from the second floor.


    "An An, where are you going this late at night?" Xiuran looked at the sofa in the living room and the tense An Jin. He couldn''t help but soften his voice and touch his head, "It''s so late, go to your Auntie Qiao''s place. Maybe she has already gone to sleep."


    "You''re disturbing your Auntie Qiao like this." He knew what Bo Anjin was concerned about, so he took this matter as an example. Once he said it, Bo Anjin did not go to find Qiao Chun An at this time.


    "An An, if there''s anything you need to tell daddy, dad will definitely do it."


    "Father, you are a man who goes back on his words! Teacher said that he would make a promise, but you even lied to a child! " As Bo Anjin said this, his eyes were filled with tears, and his voice also sounded like he was crying.

 C91

    Seeing Bo Anjin like this, the original willful thoughts that he had always felt about An Xin disappeared. He reached out his hand to hug An An Xin and comforted her, "An Xin can''t say that about Father. What do you want that I didn''t help you with? "


    "I want Auntie Qiao to be my mother, you clearly said it very quickly," Bo Anjin raised his head, his face was covered in tears, making Bo Xiuran''s heart hurt, "In the end, you didn''t make Auntie Qiao my mother, and you even thought of running away."


    After being questioned by Bo Anjin, Xiu Nan was speechless. However, he still didn''t understand his own intentions. He could only say, "This is the lord''s decision, don''t worry about it too much."


    "I knew my father was a bad father!" With that said, Bo Anjin broke free from the Shura''s embrace and ran back into his room.


    Looking at the back of Bo Anjin who was like a ball as he ran up the stairs, he could not help but shake his head and did not chase after him.


    As for his relationship with Qiao Chunan, he had yet to sort it out. However, he still missed her after not seeing her for a week.


    However, because he missed her, he dared not contact Qiao Chunan. He was afraid that things would get out of hand.


    On the other side, the past week''s evasion of the thin cultivator siren made the barrier in Qiao Chunan''s heart even stronger. He was even glad that he did not give his heart up.


    She could take back that tiny bit of interest, even though it was a bit difficult.


    George looked at the professional book on the desk in a daze, but he suppressed the worry in his heart after a while.


    Right now, she didn''t have the time to be sad or sad. She had a lot of things to do, including the matter of the Qiao family''s Gu family and her father.


    Even if he didn''t put it down, he couldn''t.


    If he didn''t want to see her, then she wouldn''t even be able to see him.


    After doing all this, Qiao Zheng An once again placed his attention back on the professional books.


    As for Bo Anjin, she missed him for a while, but since she was prepared to break off the connection between her and Bo Anjin, they should slowly break off the connection.


    Children were full of energy. Perhaps today, he really liked her, but after seeing someone else, he would quickly forget about her.


    The next day was Monday, and Jojouan was living the same life as the previous week, unconsciously avoiding the mending.


    No one in the company had noticed anything amiss. As for handing the documents over to the president, that was also left to others.


    In the past, this matter belonged to her because the people from the Ministry of Justice did not want to be baptized by the cold gaze of the CEO. In the past, this matter belonged to her because the people from the Ministry of Justice did not want to be baptized by the cold light of the CEO.


    As for the people in the CEO''s office, seeing that the person who sent the documents was no longer Qiao Chunan, they felt a sense of annoyance, and this feeling was getting stronger and stronger.


    A week''s time was enough for him to put aside all his goodwill towards Xi Mian and focus on his work.


    The work was getting back on track, even without having to work overtime.


    In the past, Qiao Chuan would usually only leave after everyone had left. Now, he left after work with his colleagues.


    While Jojouan was waiting at the station with his colleagues, Bo Anjin called. Bo Anjin had his own cell phone, but basically he wouldn''t use it.


    "Auntie Qiao, I went to your house after school today, I''m waiting for you to come back!" Qiao Chuan picked up the phone. Before he could say a word, he heard Bo Anjin say that he would come to her place.


    Qiao Chuanan was still thinking about slowly leaving Bo Anjin''s life. Right now, he had no intention of leaving.


    Just as Qiao Chunan was about to reject him and let him go home, Bo Anjin''s phone call ended.


    When she called back, the phone was already turned off.


    Hearing the gentle girl say that the phone had been turned off, Qiao Chu An was so angry that he almost laughed.


    This An An was simply too smart.


    After receiving the call, the bus arrived. After bidding farewell to his colleagues, he took a bus back to his house.


    When he went upstairs, he saw Bo Anjin waiting for him at the door with both hands on his face.


    When she heard the sound coming from the stairs, she immediately raised her head. Seeing that it was Qiao Chuan, her eyes quickly lit up. "Auntie Qiao, I missed you so much!"


    Originally, he had wanted to blame them all, but after seeing the appearance of Bo Anjin, he had forgotten about everything.


    "An Xin can''t be so willful in the future, otherwise her family will worry about her." Qiao Chunan greeted Bo Anjin''s bodyguard at the side, then squatted down and said to Bo Anjin in a serious tone, "You''ll be coming over soon. Tell me in advance, I''ll go get you."


    "Mm, I won''t, as long as you don''t hide from me, Auntie Qiao." Bo Anjin held Qiao Chuanan''s hand with a smile on his face. As for whether or not he would do that in the future, it would depend on whether or not his Auntie Qiao was hiding from him.


    Don''t think that just because he was young he didn''t know anything.


    He''s smart.


    The phone calls these few days were getting shorter and he could tell that his aunt Qiao wanted to slowly get away from his life, but he finally had a mother and he wouldn''t give up.


    "Auntie Qiao, I want to eat the winter melon soup. Should we go to the supermarket to buy the winter melon?"


    When Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin went to the supermarket, the police received the news.


    Bo Anjin forced the driver to take him to Qiao Chunan''s place.


    Upon hearing this, Shiyunan heaved a sigh of relief.


    After finishing what he had to do, he drove over to Qiao Chunan''s place.


    Joachim did not know that Bian Shuang would come immediately, and was still in the kitchen making Bian Jin his favorite food.


    In the past, Qiao Chuan An wouldn''t do such things. Later on, when Mrs Qiao fell, she would learn anything. Now, everything was fine.


    "An An, go and see who it is. I''ll open the door later." Qiao Chun An usually wouldn''t let Bo Anjin open the door. After all, if a child was taken away when the door was opened, it would be very troublesome.


    When Bo Anjin saw his father through the crack below the door, his mouth twitched. He didn''t want his father to come in, but he knew that there were some things that required his father''s consent.


    Just like how he wanted Auntie Qiao to be his own mother, he had to marry his father and Aunt Qiao.


    "Auntie Qiao, it''s my father. Do you want to open the door for him?" Bo Anjin ran over to Qiao Chunan. Seeing him kneading the dough, he felt very happy.


    As for the people waiting outside, hmph, who told him to be so disappointing, let him wait outside for a while.


    Hearing that the person outside was the thin one, Qiao Chuan was stunned for a moment before he realized that his child was here. It was normal for him to come over, "Open the door with him. It''s a bit cold right now, so you should go inside to warm up."


    Bo Anjin listened to Qiao Chuan''s words. Even though he was a bit unhappy, he still went to open the door.


    "Dad, why are you here?" Bo Anjin pouted his face. At first glance, it was clear that he did not welcome his father.

 C92

    "What''s wrong? Don''t you welcome Dad? " The thin Shura rubbed Bo Anjin''s head, the corners of his mouth curled up as he turned to look at Qiao Chun An who was busying himself in the kitchen.


    At this time, Siu Xiuran really felt like he was going home.


    His wife was busy in the kitchen, his child was waiting for him to come home.


    Thinking of this, a faint light flashed through her eyes.


    "Dad, why are you here?" Mr Bo did not say whether he was welcome or not. Instead, he used his actions to show that he was not.


    "I came to take you home." Xiuran didn''t say anything and directly revealed his purpose for coming here.


    When Bo Anjin, who was originally a bit unhappy, heard the words of the Elementary Scholar, he immediately cried out, "I don''t want it! I want to stay here! Daddy, get out! You have to leave right now!"


    Qiao Chun An who was in the kitchen heard Bo An Jin''s crying and immediately walked out after putting the steamer into the steamer. "What happened?" Why are you crying? "


    Qiao Chuan''s gaze fell on the emaciated body. It was obvious that his gaze was full of reproach.


    Seeing that Qiao Chuan An was like this, the thin Shura coughed and revealed an awkward expression. He did not know why the child cried so suddenly.


    "Be a good girl, An An, be a good girl and stop crying." Qiao Chunan held Bo Anjin in his arms and comforted him for a while before letting him stop.


    "Anthea, why are you angry with your father?" Qiao Chuan''s voice was very gentle, which made Bo Anjin want to tell him that his father failed to fulfill his promise.


    But he also knew that after he said that, it was even more impossible for his father and Aunt Qiao to be together.


    "Daddy is a bad daddy! Auntie Qiao, I want to live with you, I don''t want to live with dad! " Bo Anjin sobbed as he said, "I''m not going home!"


    "Ah, An An. Your father loves you so much and always wanted to be a good father. If you tell your father clearly, he will know what to do in the future. How about we go home and have a nice chat with Dad tonight? "


    "No, I don''t want to!" When Bo Anjin heard he was going home, he immediately started to cry.


    Qiao Chuan comforted her for a while, but the more Bo Anjin shouted, the more furious she became. She was crying until she felt like she couldn''t breathe. Qiao Chuan was afraid that the child was hurt, so he turned to Bo Xiuran and said, "Bo ¡­ Xiu Nan, let An An stay here for the night. Come and pick him up tomorrow. "


    Originally, they wanted to call him Mr. Bo, but in the end, the relationship between the two of them was not revealed. Even if the two of them didn''t understand each other''s intentions, the relationship between a man and a woman was still with them.


    "Mm, alright then." Seeing that Bo Anjin''s face had turned red from crying, he decided not to bring him back unyieldingly.


    When Bo Anjin heard his father agree to stay here tonight, he stopped crying.


    After Bo Anjin stopped, Qiao Chunan brought him to his room. He took out a toy for him to play with while he walked out to talk with Bo Xiuran.


    "Xiu Nan, what happened between you and An An?" Qiao Chunan sat at the other end of the sofa. His gaze towards the thin Shura was not the same as it used to be. Instead, it was more mature.


    Seeing this, Xiuran''s eyes narrowed, and his voice became hoarse, "I don''t know. This is the first time I have a child. I have no idea what sort of child he is."


    He sighed and gave up the idea of talking to her, ready to go to the kitchen and see if she was cooking the steamed buns.


    "Chu An." When Qiao Chuan An entered the kitchen, the emirate gave a cry, and when Qiao Chuan An turned to look at him, the emirate smiled, a smile that was much warmer in the dim light.


    "What''s the matter?" Qiao Chunan saw the expression on Jian Chen''s face and felt a little dazed. However, he quickly retracted his spirit.


    "I''m fine." "Yes!" Baicao replied with a smile, but did not say anything else.


    After dinner that night, Bo Anjin did not clamor for the two to tell him a story like last time. He could not find an excuse to stay, so he left.


    Bo Anjin looked at his father''s lonely back and curled his lips. It was all because of his father''s stupidity. Otherwise, he would have long lived together with Aunt Qiao and himself.


    "Auntie Qiao, are you going to send me to kindergarten tomorrow? I don''t want my father to send me away. " Bo Anjin whispered to Qiao Chuan while he was sleeping.


    Qiao Chunan also saw the father and son pair''s interaction at the dinner table. He could not help but have a headache, but he did not reject Bo Anjin''s request.


    On the second day, while Jojouan was preparing to take Bo Anjin to kindergarten, the car was already waiting downstairs.


    "Xiu Nan, why are you here?" When Qiao Chuan saw Bo Xiushan coming over, he was a little stunned. The Bo family wasn''t close to this place. How early did he come over?


    "Send An An to the kindergarten, then take a bus to the company. It''s a bit far." His fingers were resting on the steering wheel, and his bony fingers were exceptionally beautiful.


    Qiao Chuan glanced at it for a moment before retracting his gaze.


    He brought Bo Anjin to a seat at the back.


    As for refusing, Qiao Chu An could not do such a thing.


    After all, Bo Xiuran and Bo Anjin had a bad temper and the Bo Xiuran wanted to repair this relationship. As an outsider, she had no right to refuse.


    Besides, she really did like An An. Naturally, she also hoped that An Xin would be able to get along well with her father.


    When Bo Anjin saw Bo Xiushan, a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes. Qiao Chunan also saw this and sighed inwardly. After all, they were father and son. How could there be so many contradictions?


    After sending Bo Anjin to the kindergarten, Qiao Chunan went to the company with Yu Di in his car.


    As usual, when they were still a few minutes away from the company, Qiao Chuan got off the car.


    Their relationship at the company was similar to the previous week, and did not ease because they sent Bo Anjin to kindergarten.


    When the thin one returned to his office, he couldn''t help but press his forehead when he saw the documents his secretary had brought over. However, he had given the order, so he couldn''t change it.


    Qiao Chunan was not as conflicted as Xiu Nan. He continued to do his own stuff. However, he checked on the care of a 5-6 year old child in his spare time.


    He also knew that the emotions of the child at this time were very sensitive and needed his parents to take care of him.


    Since Anthea didn''t have a mother, he felt that he should put more thought into her.


    When they got off work, Qiao Zheng An asked Bo Anjin to go home obediently. At that time, Bo Anjin agreed to go home, but when he returned, he saw Bo Anjin waiting at the side.

 C93

    "An An, why didn''t you go home?" When Qiao Chuan saw Bo Anjin, he was very surprised.


    When Bo Anjin saw Qiao Chunan, his face was first filled with happiness, but soon it turned into tears. "Auntie Qiao, don''t hate me, okay? I really will obediently go home."


    "No, ask him, I have to go home." After he went home, he came back.


    Originally, he wanted to blame her, but seeing that Bo Anjin was crying so miserably, he couldn''t say anything. However, he knew that her actions were very wrong.


    If it gave Anthea the feeling that once he cried, she would forgive him for his poor mental posture.


    Children could be spoiled, but they couldn''t be used to it. Otherwise, it would be extremely troublesome when they grew up.


    After Joachim took her home, he called her.


    It was a very pleasant surprise for Xi Xiuran to hear from Qiao Chun An, but when he found out the reason for her call, he sighed.


    There seemed to be only one little girl left between him and Joachim.


    Originally, he had planned to use Bian Jin to get close to Qiao Chunan.


    But now, his relationship with Qiao Chunan was only a thin layer of An Jin.


    "I''ll be right over. Let''s have a chat." After he hung up the phone, he drove directly to Qiao Chuan An''s place.


    On the other hand, after Qiao Chunan had explained things to Bo Anjin, the latter had nodded his head. However, no one could say for sure whether or not he had listened.


    Half an hour later, Shura arrived at Jojouan''s house.


    Qiao Chunan only made a few dishes tonight, but he didn''t make the soup like yesterday. He also made some very cute steamed buns for Bo Anjin.


    But stir-fried dishes are also Bo Anjin''s favorite food.


    When Qiao Chuan said that he wanted him to go home, Bo Anjin cried non-stop. Facing such a person, Qiao Chun An had no temper at all.


    After dinner, Qiao Chun An talked about how to calm Bo An Jin''s emotions. Bo An Jin secretly revealed his face as he looked at the two people sitting on the sofa with a glimmer in his eyes.


    He knew that they would only be together when it came to him.


    Knowing that Auntie Qiao and her father were discussing her matters outside, Bo Anjin sat in his room, propped up his head and sighed, "An-An is the most useful, daddy is simply too stupid."


    As they were discussing how to educate An An, they had no idea that An An was looking down on them.


    While the two of them were talking about An Xin''s safety, they had also forgotten about the conflict between them. Or perhaps, it could be said that their eyes were fixed on Bo Anjin and they did not have the time to start a conflict.


    By the time the two of them had finished talking, it was already very late. However, Qiao Chunan did not leave behind the Shuren. The Shuren had also consciously left the place.


    The next day, the thin one was still waiting for him downstairs.


    After sending Bo Anjin to kindergarten, the two of them continued to talk in the car about him. However, unlike yesterday, they didn''t even talk much.


    When they arrived at the company, he withdrew the instructions he had given to the CEO last week.


    After receiving this order, the department manager handed the task of signing the president to Qiao Chuan An. Of course, the people from the Ministry of Justice were happy with the cancellation of the order.


    because it really does speed up their productivity.


    Qiao Chuan was stunned when he received the news. However, no one knew what he was thinking.


    Jojouan worked with the exception of the time when he submitted the information and how it changed last week.


    He would not speak to her like he did in the past, as if he was doing his job.


    Xi Xiuran did not know what Qiao Chun An was thinking and did not know what to do. The relationship between the two of them continued to be stiff.


    However, when they got home, their relationship had eased up a lot because of Bo Anjin.


    In the afternoon, after kindergarten was out of school, Bo Anjin told Qiao Chunan to pick him up. Qiao Chunan was afraid that the driver would send him over, so he prepared to pick him up himself.


    However, Xiuran didn''t follow him. There were a lot of things happening at the company during this period of time.


    Since Qiao Chuan was with GM, he naturally knew how much work the CEO had to do every day.


    But no matter how late she worked, she would come to see him every day.


    This went on for almost a week. Since Bo Anjin didn''t want to go back to the Bo family, Bo Xiuran came to visit him every day.


    Seeing the fatigue on her face, Qiao Chunan''s heart ached, but he didn''t invite her to stay.


    Since he came here, he could only live on the sofa. No matter how tired he was, he would still sleep in his own bed.


    Another night, Qiao Chunan sent Xiu Nan away. He said with a bit of embarrassment, "Xiu Nan, I''m really sorry. How about you go and bring An An home tomorrow so he won''t come to my place."


    It was not like that, he thought.


    "What do we do about An An''s crying?" The words of the thin Xiuran directly choked back the words that Qiao Chuanan wanted to say.


    It wasn''t that she didn''t want to pick up Bo Anjin, but even if she didn''t pick him up, he would still come to her place. He even kept on crying, saying that she didn''t want him anymore, that she didn''t like him anymore.


    Every time she heard Bo Anjin''s words, she couldn''t help but soften her heart and say that she wouldn''t let him in. In the end, she would still let him continue staying here.


    "What exactly is going on between you and Ann? "Why is it that after so many days, the relationship between the two of you still hasn''t calmed down? Your body won''t be able to take this kind of coming and going." He looked at the tired expression on her face, and his voice was filled with pain.


    A warm feeling ran through his heart. It was rare for him to see her so concerned. He smiled and said, "It doesn''t matter, I''m still healthy. You should go back to sleep."


    The two of them did not talk much, and Qiao Chu An let the thin Shuriken go back.


    He could get home earlier if he left earlier.


    After seeing him off, Qiao Chuan An and Bo Anjin discussed, "An An, can you forgive your father? Your father will not be able to bear it by going back and forth like this every day. "


    "I forgave my father, but I just didn''t want to go back." Bo Anjin shifted his body to a different position with his back facing Qiao Chuanan and said in a muffled voice, "Auntie Qiao only loves my father, not me."


    Seeing Bo Anjin like this, Qiao Chu An didn''t say anything. He rubbed Bo Anjin''s head and said in a very gentle voice, "Auntie Qiao, you''re not unkind. Be good."


    "I want to live with Auntie Qiao. If you don''t want daddy to live with you, then come over." Bo Anjin turned over and looked at Qiao Chunan with his bright and clear eyes. His eyes were slightly red. "I also feel sorry for my father, but I want to be together with Aunt Qiao."

 C94

    Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, Qiao Chunan did not say anything else and just let out a long sigh.


    "I''m rather small here, your dad can''t come and stay. If you have enough time with Auntie Qiao, you should go home earlier."


    Qiao Chuan did not compromise. Did she really feel that sleeping on the sofa was more tiring than driving?


    After hearing Qiao Chuan An''s words, Bo Anjin did not know what to do. However, he really did not want to go home. Furthermore, he felt that once he went home, he would not be able to find a reason to come here.


    On the second day, when the two of them were escorting Bo Anjin to the kindergarten, Qiao Chunan looked at the black eyes of Bo Xiushan and lowered his head slightly.


    He had been home early and late for almost a week now. Plus, the company had a lot of things to do, and he even brought some documents with him when he came over.


    After sending Bo Anjin to the kindergarten, Qiao Chuanan thought for a moment. He turned his head and looked at the people beside him, "Xiu Nan, if you don''t mind, I''ll give you a bed at home. If you''re tired, you can sleep at my place tonight."


    Qiao Chuan An subconsciously clenched his fists as he said this. After saying this, he felt a bit embarrassed. He could just ask the CEO of GM Corporation to live in her small place, but he also planned to set up a random bed.


    "Really? I certainly wouldn''t mind. " Hearing Qiao Chuan An''s words, the thin cultivator looked at the people around her and saw that her ears were slightly red. All the fatigue from this period of time had been completely wiped away.


    When they got to the usual place, Xiu Lan placed Qiao Chu down and called his secretary to tell him to deliver some of his daily necessities to Qiao Chuan.


    The secretary was aware of the relationship between Xi Qiulin and Qiao Chuan An, but he did not speak of it.


    This was also the reason why this secretary had been able to stay by the thin Shura''s side for so long.


    The secretary also didn''t have the key to his address, so he prepared everything and left it in the guard room.


    When he got off work in the afternoon, he would prepare these things.


    Qiao Chunan who was in the office did not know that someone had already treated her place as their own.


    Qiao Chunan was very serious at work. He was called over by the Tinker Siren at lunch time and returned to the food that he had taken care of when he was injured.


    Jojouan wanted to refuse, but he was stumped by the words of the empress.


    After work in the afternoon, after Qiao Chuan went to pick up Bo Anjin, he received a call from his secretary.


    There was one copy of the call from the secretary of Bo Xiuran. When he first received the call, he found it very strange.


    Of course, looking at the pile of items outside his room, it was even more strange.


    Bo Anjin and Bo Xiuran''s secretary also knew each other.


    "Uncle Bai, is this daddy''s item?" Bo Anjin asked as he looked at the items on the wall. He had seen some of them before in the room with the Elementalist.


    "Yeah." Secretary Bai agreed and then said to Qiao Chun An, "Miss Qiao, these are the CEO''s things. The CEO said he will stay here for a while."


    Hearing this answer, Qiao Chuan was speechless. She had just said it this morning. Now, it was like she was moving.


    However, he did not refuse and allowed Secretary Bai to bring the items in.


    Bo Anjin was very happy to see his father doing all this. He knew that his father had finally become smart and moved in with Auntie Qiao.


    After putting everything away, Secretary Bai left as well.


    Qiao Chuan sighed as he looked at the place where another person was living.


    At the same time, she made up her mind that she must rent a new house.


    This place was too small, and it was hard for the three of them to squeeze in.


    Joachim, to say nothing of anything else, put the matter of the move in his heart.


    When night came, the smile on Bo Anjin''s face never stopped.


    With such an obvious expression on Bo Anjin''s face, it was only natural that Xiuran could see it.


    When he went to wash his face and rinse his mouth, he was met with a question from the girl.


    "An An, you are purposely throwing a tantrum with me, aren''t you?" The question was answered with a tone of certainty. Seeing that his father finally understood this, Bo Anjin sighed and said, "Dad, you''re finally smart again."


    "How could you have lived here without me!" There was a complacent look on Bo Anjin''s face, causing him to laugh.


    "That''s because your Auntie Qiao''s heart softened, and she felt heartache that I''d come to see you these past few days." Xiuran pinched Bo Anjin''s nose, the corners of his mouth raised, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.


    As for his son''s method, he had accepted it.


    If it weren''t for him, Qiao Chu An definitely wouldn''t have let him stay here.


    Just like a while ago, even when he was about to fall asleep with his eyes squinted, she still woke him up and told him to go home and sleep.


    She would have let him sleep on the couch before they were estranged.


    But after a week of their estrangement, he was no longer qualified to sleep on the couch.


    If he hadn''t reported here for the past week, he would have been tossed aside to who knows where by that heartless woman.


    He still did not know what kind of feelings he had for Qiao Chunan, but he knew that he would not let go. He would not let Qiao Chunan out of his hands.


    Needless to say, he wanted her.


    After Qiao Chuan finished washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he saw that it was father and son talking with their heads down. He let out a sigh of relief.


    In any case, she hoped that Anthea would get along well with her father.


    Although the room was not big, he moved the sofa over to a different spot and set up the bed of the mending officer. As for the clothes, he put them into a storage box beside him.


    After he packed his things, he was glad that Lin Hanyue didn''t live here at this time, otherwise she wouldn''t have let him stay here.


    Of course, with Lin Hanxiao here, she wouldn''t let Baishou live here.


    As for why she was living here alone, she agreed to let Bo Xiuniang stay here. The reason wasn''t something that Qiao Chun An thought about.


    After settling these matters, the family of three fell asleep.


    In the almost a year since he had returned to the country, she had not been so afraid of the dark that she would not even have to turn on the bedside lamp.


    This point only changed after the arrival of Bo Anjin.


    Children can''t sleep with the lights on and the sleeping environment will be bad.


    As for the one who lived in the living room, he looked at the arrangement of the living room and couldn''t help but twitch his lips. He had never thought that he would one day live in someone else''s living room.


    If his brothers saw this, they would probably laugh him to death.

 C95

    When he woke up in the morning, he was always a little embarrassed to see her, but after a day or two they got used to each other.


    The relationship between Bo Anjin and Bo Xiuran had improved.


    In the morning, the two of them went to take her to kindergarten and then to work together.


    After work, he would pick up Bo Anjin from school. Sometimes he would go back to the supermarket, sometimes he would take a walk in the small garden downstairs.


    The past few days of interaction had really made him feel like a family of three.


    Seeing that their relationship was getting better and better, Qiao Chunan let out a sigh of relief.


    She really hoped that the relationship between father and son would slowly recover.


    Seeing this scene, she felt that she wasn''t the cause of the estrangement between them.


    Qiao Zheng An was actually quite afraid of this. She was truly afraid that because of her existence, the relationship between Bo Anjin and the Shuren girl would not be good.


    She still remembered the first time she met Bo Anjin, how she had eaten snacks in her office.


    One had to know that in the office of such a aloof and reserved person, there was the smell of snacks. She knew that this person was really indulgent towards Bo Anjin.


    He truly doted on his children.


    On Friday, another week.


    Just when Qiao Chuan thought Bo Xiuran was about to bring him home, Bo Xiuran offered to take him to the party.


    In the evening, when Qiao Chuan An was sitting in the kitchen at dinner, the thin Shura leaned on the door of the kitchen. In the evening, when Qiao Chuan was sitting in the kitchen at dinner, the thin Shuren leaned on the door of the kitchen.


    "Ah?" Charity dinner? No, I haven''t been to a party in a long time. " She hadn''t been to a party like this for a long time.


    Ever since Mrs Qiao fell and when she went abroad a few years ago, she had never attended any of the domestic gatherings.


    "You''re my girlfriend, it''s normal to go to dinner with me." The thin Shuren did not pay attention to Qiao Chuan An''s refusal and insisted that she go with him to the banquet.


    Qiao Chuan thought about it but still did not refuse.


    It was time for her to return to that circle.


    There were some things she had to go back to.


    Bo Anjin, who was helping Qiao Chuan, heard his father invite Auntie Qiao to the party. "Auntie Qiao, you can go. Daddy used to be very lonely at parties."


    He was a good helper to Father, so Auntie Qiao would definitely agree to go to the banquet.


    Qiao Chunan, who was already emotionally moved, was waved around by Bo Anjin and said a few words before nodding his head.


    When Bo Anjin saw Qiao Chuan nod his head, he turned around and winked at his father, thinking that he was indeed very powerful.


    He did not explain to Bo Anjin why he agreed to let him think it was due to him.


    After all, only this kind of person would help him create an opportunity in a place he didn''t know about.


    Bo Anjin didn''t know that his father had already treated him as the bond between him and Qiao Chunan. He was also very happy that he could help his father chase Aunt Qiao.


    The next day, Jojouan was going to choose some of her most economical clothes and accessories for the party.


    However, before he could leave, he was brought to a specially made place.


    As for calling a stylist to his house to make a pose, Shou said he could not afford to lose face.


    It was fine if he knew that he lived in the living room, but if other people knew that he lived in the living room, he would not accept this at all.


    Of course, he was also looking for a new house, and he knew that once his father was released from prison, he would have to move.


    In order to avoid the possibility of living in the living room, he felt the need to look for the right house.


    Bian Shuang took Qiao and Bian Anjin to one of his often-made studios, where the stylist had a lot of clothes and jewelry.


    Qiao Chu An also knew about the stylist family. Thus, he did not say much and let the stylist take action.


    She had also attended banquets before, so she did not have much doubt in the stylist''s skills.


    While Jojouan was doing the modeling, Bo Anjin and Bi Xiuran also did the simple modeling.


    Men''s styles were always simpler than women''s.


    After finishing her styling, Xiuran sat down on the sofa and waited for Jojouan.


    Bo Anjin, on the other hand, stayed by Qiao Chuan''s side until he was done with his mannequin. His mouth was almost closed.


    In the mirror, Joachim saw himself. He looked like a ghost, something she used to know, but now that he was back in his familiar disguise, his mood was no longer the same as it had been before.


    When Qiao Chu An turned his head and saw Bo An Jin''s expression, he couldn''t help but ask: "What''s wrong? It''s that exaggerated? "


    "Auntie Qiao, you''re so beautiful."


    "You already know what beauty is at such a young age?" Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, the smile on Qiao Chunan''s face became very obvious. Women liked to be praised for their beauty.


    "Of course I know, thinking about Auntie Qiao is beautiful." After saying this, Bo Anjin did not forget to call out to her, who was sitting on the sofa, "Dad, do you think Auntie Qiao is beautiful?"


    The moment Qiao Chunan finished his pose, a trace of amazement flashed across his eyes.


    He had always known about Qiao Chuan''s beauty. However, he had not expected that Qiao Chuan, who was disguised as a beauty, would be so breathtaking.


    He stood up and walked to the side of Qiao Chuan An. He rubbed Bo An Jin''s head and turned his head to look at the person beside him. His clear voice carried a trace of gentleness. "You''re so beautiful like this."


    Hearing the compliment, Qiao Chuan An''s face turned red before he quickly suppressed it down.


    "Thank you."


    After the family of three finished dressing themselves, they headed towards the banquet.


    At the banquet place, he realized that this was a banquet that many business people would come to.


    Looking at the socialites inside, he actually felt a little nervous.


    It had been a long time since she''d been in a place like this.


    She could even remember some familiar faces, but they probably wouldn''t remember her.


    She used to have her own small group, but after Mrs Qiao''s fall, that small group dissolved.


    Of course, Su Ran was in that small group.


    The thin cultivator could see that Qiao Chunan was nervous. He reached out his hand to let Qiao Chunan hold onto his arm. As for Bo Anjin, he was walking in front by himself as if he was walking for Qiao Chunan.


    "Don''t be afraid, just as usual." When they appeared at the dinner party, arm in arm, he turned his head and spoke to Jocelyn.

 C96

    When her warm breath hit his ear, she forgot all about the tension of the party, leaving only the thrill of the warm breath in her heart.


    Seeing that Qiao Chuan An''s ears had turned red, the thin Xiu Nong''s lips curved up in a smile. His long legs took care of Qiao Chuan''s footsteps. The two of them were like a pair of mummies.


    When Qiao Chunan appeared at the banquet site, holding the hand of the thin Xiu Lun, Su Ran, who came early, saw Qiao Chunan.


    Looking at the family of three, Su Ran''s teeth started to itch with hatred. He wanted to bite the three of them to death.


    When Su Ran saw the gazes of the three people on the stage fall on him, he had the urge to kill Qiao Chun An immediately.


    "Did you see that? This looks just like a family of three. Could it be that this is the lovely wife that young master Bo has been hiding all this time?" The group of sisters beside Su Ran were gossiping in hushed voices about the couple at the entrance.


    "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn''t hear my father say that Young Master Bo was married. However, the looks of these three people are truly quite high. "


    "I also think that the child looks so cute." Su Ran''s heart was about to explode as he listened to the surrounding people praising Qiao Chuan.


    Their expressions were extremely ugly. When the surrounding people saw Su Ran''s expression that seemed like he was going to eat someone, they naturally moved to the side to hide. They were afraid that Su Ran would suddenly go crazy and hurt them.


    On the other side, after Qiao Chunan and Bo Xiuniang entered the hall, they felt all sorts of gazes falling upon them. They felt their backs straighten, and their aura was no weaker than the people around them.


    Xiuran also felt the aura from Qiao Chuan An''s body and the curve on the corner of his mouth became more obvious. He knew that she was hiding him a while ago.


    As the former number one lady in City S, how could she be an extremely weak employee?


    Although he liked to tease her, he liked her to display her brilliance in front of everyone.


    The two of them walked in through the door, and Xiu Lan brought Qiao Chuan An to her friend''s side.


    Everyone had their own circle. It just so happened that the circle that Bo Xiuyi and Qiao Chunan brought over happened to belong to was Shen Lin''s circle.


    They had known each other for ten years, and their relationship was deep.


    Of course, apart from these friends, there were also a few others who nodded and made friends with him.


    "Bo Xiuran, you finally brought your girlfriend out!" A acquaintance who nodded in the mall saw the thin cultivator coming over. He picked up a wine cup and walked over. His eyes glanced at Qiao Chuan An, then they landed on the thin cultivator.


    One had to know that a person who could be brought out of such a banquet at least had a certain status in the heart of the emollient.


    Qiao Chuan also knew this person. She had talked about business with this person''s company. This person''s company was not bad and could be considered one of the top three in the industry.


    Of course, she knew a little more about it. This Director Wang''s daughter had once clearly stated that she liked the cultivation of a thin, thin, young girl.


    This was what Shao Yishuo had told her after he became her girlfriend.


    Although she refused to go to Shao Yishuo''s law office, the relationship between the two of them didn''t disappear because of this.


    "Yeah, my girlfriend, Chu An, this is Director Wang, you can call me Director Wang." He introduced Director Wang to Qiao Chuan. Of course, he also made it clear that the person beside him was his girlfriend.


    After receiving the answer from the thin scholar, Director Wang casually said a few words of courtesy and did not say anything more.


    His attitude indicated that Qiao Chuan An was his girlfriend. As for whether he could become Lady Bo, although it was possible, it was very likely that he would become Lady Bo.


    Joachim followed her, listening to him introduce her to the people who greeted her, and at the same time revealing the fact that she was his girlfriend.


    He also knew that she was thinking that she was his man.


    Qiao Chun An''s heart was a little complicated. Previously, she thought he was just playing around with her and now she was introduced to his friend. Perhaps the reason he was introducing her to him was because he was trying to explain things to her.


    However, most of them still acknowledged her position.


    Being able to introduce him to this circle was definitely a form of acknowledgement.


    It was not an existence that could be abandoned at any time.


    The expression on Qiao Chuan''s face was as gentle as ever. When others greeted her, she could not find any fault with her manners.


    Bo Anjin also stayed by Qiao Chuan''s side. When people asked her who he was, she would answer, because she was his mother.


    Originally, there had been some who had been watching the show from the sidelines, but after hearing Bo Anjin''s answer, no matter what they had in mind, their faces returned to normal.


    "I have something to take care of over there." Bo Xiuniang brought Qiao Chuan to meet his friend. After seeing the person he wanted to meet at this charity dinner, she told him.


    Qiao Chun An looked over to the leader of the business circle and knew what he was planning. He nodded and said softly, "You can go, I will greet you."


    "An An, you have to listen to your Aunt Qiao. "If anyone dares to bully your Auntie Qiao, as a man, you must protect your Auntie Qiao."


    After bowing his head and giving an explanation to Bo Anjin, he stood up and walked towards the big boss.


    "Got it, I will protect Auntie Qiao." Bo Anjin raised his little arm, indicating that he would definitely protect his mother.


    In Bo Anjin''s heart, Qiao Chuan An was already his mother.


    Qiao Chunan stood at the side and listened to the conversation. He could not help but find it funny. Since when was she so useless?


    And Anthea to protect him.


    However, he did not stop her from speaking. After all, she was teaching An An An the responsibility to protect the girl.


    "An An, let''s go. I''ll take you to the side to eat some cake." After seeing Bo Xiuran leave, Qiao Chao An held Bo Anjin''s hand and led him to a nearby table.


    Although the guests at the dinner party rarely ate anything, other than food, there was nothing else for children to do at such a boring party.


    At the kitchen table, Jojoun selected some of his favorite cakes and set them down on the sofa beside him with his plate.


    Just as Qiao Chuan was about to choose some small cakes for Bo Anjin, Su Ran walked up to him.


    When Su Ran saw that both Bo Xiuran and Bo Anjin were not by Qiao Chunan''s side, he could not help but feel angry and wanted to vent his anger on them.


    "Qiao Chuan, you sure are capable!" Su Ran crossed his arms over his chest as he tilted his head back slightly. The arrogant expression on his face was especially obvious as he replied, "I''ve only known you for a short period of time and you''ve already become a concubine."


    "I don''t dare, not as strong as Miss Su." Qiao Chun An stood up and stabbed Su Ran in the mouth.


    When Su Ran heard Qiao Chuan''s words, his anger rose up in an instant.

 C97

    "It''s your own incompetence. Your fianc¨¦ hates you. Otherwise, how could I be with him?" Su Ran had a proud expression on his face. When he spoke of Gu Nan, there was a trace of bashfulness in his eyes.


    Looking at Su Ran''s expression, Qiao Chu An felt depressed. She had the feeling that no matter what she said, Su Ran would change the topic to Gu Nan.


    Qiao Chu An had no idea what was going on in Su Ran''s brain.


    Of course, the reason why Gu Nan was always on the tip of Su Ran''s tongue was because he snatched Gu Nan from Qiao Chun An''s hands.


    It was as if the person who snatched it was extremely fragrant.


    For the most part, Su Ran felt that he had defeated Qiao Chuan in this matter.


    "Stop, emphasize one thing. That''s your husband, not my fianc¨¦." Qiao Chunan felt nauseous whenever he mentioned Gu Nan. He didn''t want to talk about Gu Nan at all to Su Ran.


    "Hehe, your former fianc¨¦ is now my husband." Su Ran acted like he didn''t understand a word and emphasized Gu Nan''s right of ownership in front of Qiao Chunan.


    Hearing Su Ran''s words, Qiao Chu An felt that it was funny. Of course, the corners of his mouth raised into a smile, "Picked up a pile of dog shit and even gave it to him! Heh, I really don''t know what kind of taste you have. "


    After saying this, Qiao Chuan immediately felt embarrassed and said, "Look at me, I haven''t learned anything good abroad in the past few years, but I''ve learnt quite a lot of bad things. If there are any offenses, please be magnanimous, Madam Gu."


    With regards to Su Ran and Gu Nan''s loathing for him, Qiao Chunan had completely abandoned his usual ways, and he spoke very straightforwardly.


    Of course, the sarcasm in her words made Su Ran feel as if she was holding something in her throat.


    Su Ran was choked up and was unable to speak when he saw Qiao Chuan like this.


    "Qiao Chun An, I didn''t expect you to fall. Before, you were the first lady in S City, but now, you have become the one who swore. Tsk tsk."


    After reflecting for a while, Su Ran smiled as if he had finally defeated Qiao Chunan. When he spoke, his tone was one of condescension.


    "Is that so?" Qiao Chu An took a step back when he saw Su Ran''s expression. He was afraid Su Ran would make a move. "Someone said that you cannot bite back if you are bitten by a dog. Otherwise, you''ll become a dog."


    "I won''t bite the dog, but I will beat the dog to death! As for the method to kill the dog, that will depend on whether the dog hates it or not in front of me. "


    Qiao Chunan''s personality was not like that of a bun. On the contrary, he was vengeful. However, no one could see this clearly.


    Xiuran didn''t know, Su Ran didn''t know, and Gu Nan didn''t know either.


    After Qiao Chuan finished mocking Su Ran, he prepared to walk to the sofa at the side. However, Bo Anjin was still waiting for him there.


    Su Ran was shocked by Qiao Chuan''s words for a moment, but he soon recovered. He cursed in his heart. When Su Ran thought of the admiring looks that Qiao Chuan had cast at him, he could not bear it any longer.


    Just then, a waiter walked over with a glass of red wine. Su Ran tripped over the table curtain.


    When Su Ran came to find Qiao Chunan, the thin Xiu Lun who was chatting with the big boss of the business circle noticed him out of the corner of his eyes.


    He was very clear about the conflict between Qiao Chunan and Su Ran.


    He was worried that he had been hurt by Su Ran without any precaution.


    "Sorry, I have something to take care of." Seeing that Su Ran was about to trip over the waiter, the thin Xiu Lun informed the people beside him and immediately ran over.


    Just as the thin cultivator ran over to Qiao Chunan''s side, the waiter poured a cup of red wine onto Qiao Chunan''s body with a ''shua'' sound.


    The thin cultivator saw this and immediately held Qiao Chuan, using his own to block off the incoming red wine.


    Before he could react to what had happened, he was surrounded by the thin elmer.


    He knew that the smell of the red wine in the air had reached his nose, and he finally understood what had happened.


    Blinking his eyes, Qiao Chuan''s nose was pressed against the thin Xiu Nang''s chest. The heat from his chest was transmitted over, causing Qiao Chun An to feel a little embarrassed. His face slowly turned red.


    After a while, Qiao Chuan pushed the emaciated emirate. His voice was filled with worry as he said, "Are you alright? Why are you here? Have you finished talking about the things over there? "


    Qiao Chunan knew all about that big boss. Was it okay for the thin shaman to just come over like that?


    "You should ask me if there''s anything wrong with that. Why are you so careless? Su Ran told you that you don''t know how to hide."


    His voice was cold as he released Qiao Chuan An from his arms. He checked her body and found that there was no alcohol on her. Only then did he feel at ease.


    Qiao Chunan was stunned by the girl''s urgent words. He heard the dripping sound and looked down to see the water dripping onto the woman''s clothes.


    His heart was extremely complicated.


    After letting Qiao Chuan An out of his arms, Xiuran took off his suit. There was still alcohol on the suit, and even his shirt had been dyed red.


    "Are you all right? I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have been so mean to you. " Seeing that Qiao Chunan did not say anything, Bo Xiushan thought that his words were too harsh and apologized.


    When the people around him heard the words of the protector, they all wished that they had never appeared before.


    Were they here to eat dog food?


    It seemed like Bo Shaoyang cared a lot about his girlfriend!


    Hearing her words, Qiao Chu An came back to his senses. He pursed his lips and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you alright?"


    Having lived with Baoshu for a while, Qiao Chunan knew that Baoshu had some obsession with cleanliness. Although it wasn''t serious, it was impossible for him to wear this sort of outfit that had been drenched in red wine.


    At this moment, the waiter also reacted.


    Seeing his own wine sprinkle on top of the thin Xiuran''s body, his face turned pale, and he couldn''t help but apologize, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to do that."


    As for the matter of someone tripping over him, the waiter didn''t say anything, because whether or not someone tripped over him, the red wine in his hands would be spilled.


    The spilled wine had already offended one person, and if he were to say that he had tripped over another person, he would definitely offend another person.


    Someone who could trip him was definitely not someone to be trifled with.


    "I''m fine." Seeing that Qiao Chuan An finally came back to his senses, Bo Xiu Yi let out a breath of relief. He turned his head to look at Su Ran, who was standing at the side.


    "Miss Su, you must give me an explanation for this matter!" As for the waiter who was apologizing at the side, he knew that Su Ran wasn''t him. He had clearly seen Su Ran''s actions.


    "What has it got to do with me?" Su Ran unconsciously took a step to the side. However, his expression was extremely calm, as if he hadn''t seen her do anything just now.


    Perhaps to Su Ran, she just didn''t do it.


    In any case, she felt that her methods were very well hidden, so no one would know that she had made a move.

    "Miss Su, aren''t you going too far by doing this?" The thin Xiu Nan placed Qiao Chu An behind him and looked at Su Ran with a stern expression. Su Ran''s legs had become weak from the pressure.


    "What has it got to do with me? I didn''t do anything. " Su Ran''s face was filled with rage as he forcefully suppressed his fear of the protector.


    "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, it''s all my fault, I didn''t do it on purpose." The waiter kept apologizing on the side.


    When Su Ran heard the waiter''s apology, he became full of vigor, "Did you hear that? The waiter said it was his fault and you''re still trying to pin it on me. What is the meaning of this?"


    Qiao Chuan listened to what the thin cultivator said and looked up. This was the first time that such a clear anger had appeared on the cold face of the thin cultivator. His heart softened and the way he looked at the thin cultivator became much gentler.


    "It doesn''t matter if you don''t admit it. Let''s go watch the surveillance!" Grabbing Qiao Chuan An''s hand, Yu Xiuniang suppressed the anger that was rising in her heart, and her expression became colder and colder.


    Hearing that, a hint of panic flashed across Su Ran''s face. At the same time, she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Look, what are you looking at?"


    After Su Ran said this, he watched as the thin scholar lowered his head to speak to Qiao Chuan An before walking away.


    However, everyone around them saw Su Ran''s performance. He knew that Su Ran must have done it.


    At the same time, he also knew the extent of Yu Di''s concern for Qiao Chuan An.


    He was able to notice what was happening in this direction when he was talking to the big boss, which showed how much he cared about Qiao Chuan.


    Because of this, he did not hesitate to be so tough on a woman.


    Although Su Ran was not a good person, he was still aggressive towards him. This was also a sign of how much Xi Lun valued Qiao Chuan An.


    All of the men present had different opinions of this action, but the ladies were very respectful.


    This was because it was very easy for a lady to bring a person who was being protected by a scholar into one''s heart. Many people were envious of the person who was being protected like this.


    Su Ran glared at Qiao Chunan before he left. Qiao Chunan knew that Su Ran had left as well. He was angry, but he also felt sorry for her and helped her block Su Ran''s vicious plans.


    "I still have something to do. I''ll come pick you up after dinner."


    He took off his suit jacket and handed it to the attendant beside him. His shirt was still stained with red liquid, and just as he was about to leave, Joachim took his hand.


    "You actually didn''t have to come." Even if she didn''t escape the red wine in the waiter''s hand, nothing would happen to her.


    As a lady who had attended such parties, she usually had two evening gowns.


    It was to deal with such an emergency.


    "I know, but I said I would protect you." The thin cultivator touched Qiao Chuan An''s somewhat cold face and smiled. "Even if I know that you have no problems, I will still worry."


    After saying this, he walked over to the big boss of the business circle.


    Qiao Chun An stood still for a while, listening to the waiter''s constant apologizing voices, and said that nothing was wrong. Then, he walked over to the corner where Bo An Jin was sitting.


    Just now, Bo Anjin came over and told him that he was going to the toilet, so he wasn''t there at that time.


    "Auntie Qiao, what happened just now?" How can I listen to them talk about my father? " Bo Anjin was dressed in a small suit and looked especially round and cute.


    The warm hands were pressed into Qiao Chuan''s hands. His words were soft. "Did Father beat down the bad guys and save Auntie Qiao?"


    However, his eyes were sparkling. Obviously, he was very interested in what those people had said just now.


    Jojouan knew that this was the time to establish a strong impression of his father with Bo Anjin, so he did not hesitate to praise Bo Xiuran.


    "That''s right, your dad is awesome. He even beat the bad guys to save Auntie Qiao." Jojouan rubbed Bo Anjin''s head. The praise in his words for Bo Xiuran made his eyes light up.


    "In the future, as a man, An An, you must remember to protect girls." He felt it was necessary to teach Anthea that she had a sense of responsibility.


    A man may not be handsome, he may not have money, but he must not have a sense of responsibility.


    "Yes, I will also protect Auntie Qiao in the future." Bo Anjin knew that as a man, he had to protect the girl well.


    "Of course you can''t see a pitiful girl, so you went up to protect her. There are some girls who have vicious thoughts, you also need to be good at observation, don''t be blinded by what is happening right in front of your eyes."


    Qiao Chun An saw that Bo An Jin really took his words to heart. He couldn''t help but think of Su Ran and blurted out some of his thoughts without thinking.


    She didn''t know if teaching her children like this was wrong, but she didn''t want An An to be fooled by some girls who used her weak appearance to deceive them because of her teachings.


    "Yes, I know. I only want to protect Auntie Qiao." Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, Qiao Chuan laughed and explained in detail to him.


    Anthea was still young, so she couldn''t understand what Qiao Chuan was saying. However, he remembered one thing. They had to protect her like how his father protected Aunt Qiao.


    So Auntie Qiao would like him.


    Just like when Auntie Qiao mentioned her father, the smile on her face was very obvious. Just like when he thought Auntie Qiao could be his mother.


    So, did Auntie Qiao fall in love with her father?


    Then could Auntie Qiao be his mother?


    "Is that so? Is that so? Then Auntie Qiao, you like Daddy? " When Bo Anjin heard his father''s praise, he was very happy and asked the question that he was most concerned about.


    Hearing Bo Anjin''s question, Qiao Chu An was a little stunned. He couldn''t help but ask himself, "Do I like him?"


    If she were to say that she liked him, she would definitely like him. Otherwise, she wouldn''t be unhappy because of his estrangement from her previously.


    But if he liked her enough to get her to marry him, it wasn''t to that extent yet.


    Bo Anjin was not satisfied with Qiao Chuan''s answer. He pulled Qiao Chuan''s hand to let him recover from his thoughts.


    "Auntie Qiao, do you like my dad?"


    "Your father is fine." Joachim knew the reason Anthea had asked this question, and did not answer directly.


    She knew that once she replied that she liked it, Bo Anjin would ask her immediately when she would marry her father.


    When Bo Anjing heard Qiao Chuan''s answer, his mouth twitched in dissatisfaction. Just as he was about to continue asking, Qiao Chun An led him to stand up.

 C99

    "Let''s go over there. Your Uncle Shen is here." Seeing Shen Lin and Shangguan Lan appear at the banquet, Qiao Chun An was prepared to bring Bo Anjin along.


    The brilliance of Guan Lan was enough to move even Qiao Chu An''s heart, let alone the rest of the guests at the banquet.


    "Lan Lan, Shen Lin, you''re here." Qiao Chuan and Bo Anjin went up to greet Shangguan Lan and Shen Lin.


    When Shangguan Lan and Qiao Chunan came into contact, they found out that their interests and interests were similar and naturally became friends. Of course, the two of them got along well, and both Bo Anjin and Shen Lin knew about it.


    "En, I''m coming over. An An, I haven''t seen you for a few days, you''re becoming more and more adorable." Shangguan Lan rubbed Bo Anjin''s round face, her watery and seductive eyes had a hint of warmth in them, making Shen Lin, who was standing beside her, unable to look away.


    Seeing Shen Lin''s expression, Qiao Chu An could only shake his head and laugh.


    A few days ago, Bo Anjin had met Guan Zhilan and knew that this auntie liked to touch his face. When Guan Zhilan reached out her hand, he hid behind Qiao Chunan.


    However, he did not escape from the clutches of Shangguan Lan.


    With a taut little face, Bo Anjin earnestly said, "Auntie Guan, you can''t touch my face like you want. Also, you should call me handsome, not cute!"


    Seeing the look on Bo Anjin''s face, Qiao Chuan found it funny.


    When Guan Lan saw this, he wanted to rub Bo Anjin''s chubby face even more, but Shen Lin stood at the side and said, "An An An, even children say they are cute. Only at my age can you say that you''re handsome."


    "Uncle Shen, I think you''re jealous of my cuteness. Aunt Guan did not touch your face!" Bo Anjin made a face at Shen Lin, then hid behind Qiao Chunan.


    When Shen Lin heard what Bo Anjin said, his gaze unconsciously shifted to Guan Lan. His ears were slightly red, and upon seeing Shen Lin''s expression, the smile on his face became even more gorgeous.


    A clear and cold aura emanated from his body, but when paired with those eyes that exuded an attractive aura, the demon-like aura from Shangguan Chenlan''s body became even more bewitching.


    Seeing Shen Lin''s expression, Qiao Chu An lowered his head and chuckled.


    Shen Lin heard Qiao Chuan''s laughter and unconsciously scratched his head. He then gave an awkward smile to Qiao Chuan.


    "Don''t tell me what An An said is true? Are you jealous of him?"


    But there''s no use being jealous. You''re not as cute as An An." When Shangguan Lan said this, she rubbed Bo Anjin''s head and whispered to An An An, "Ah, An An. Your Uncle Shen isn''t as cute as you.


    "Did you hear that, Uncle Shen? Even if you are handsome, Aunt Guan will not touch your face." When Bo Anjin saw that Shen Lin was not even talked to by his aunt, he raised his head with a complacent expression on his face.


    As for the cute matter of ''children'', it was completely forgotten by Bo Anjin.


    Hearing this, Shen Lin felt even more embarrassed.


    Of course, this feeling didn''t last long.


    The thin Shuren was chatting not too far away. Seeing that Shen Lin had arrived, he calmed down.


    However, they didn''t talk for long before Gu Nan and Su Ran appeared in front of Qiao Chu An.


    Since Su Ran could come to this place, Gu Nan would definitely be here as well.


    When Qiao Chu An saw Gu Nan, he was a bit irritated.


    But this was a charity dinner. No matter how much Qiao Chunan hated Gu Nan, he didn''t show it. He just showed a faint expression on his face.


    Bo Anjin held Qiao Chunan''s hand. He knew that Auntie Qiao didn''t like Gu Nan very much, and he didn''t like Gu Nan either.


    Anyway, he didn''t like people that Aunt Qiao didn''t like.


    Gu Nan''s eyes lit up when he saw Guan Lu Lan standing next to Qiao Chuan. He wanted to step up and greet her, but he felt that she looked familiar.


    "Young lady, have we met before? "You look very familiar." Gu Nan smiled. It was easy for people to get a good impression of his handsome, sunny appearance.


    When Shangguan Lan saw Gu Nan, her eyes turned and landed on Su Ran, who was standing next to Gu Nan. She laughed softly, her voice clear and melodious, "Sir, your way of speaking is out of date."


    "Gu Nan, are you here to get Su Ran to come and apologize?" Qiao Chunan stood in front of Shangguan Lan, pulling Gu Nan''s gaze away from her.


    Shen Lin stood at the side, watching Gu Nan come over to strike up a conversation. His expression was somewhat ugly; it was with great difficulty that he managed to get Shangguan Lan to agree to join him in the banquet.


    "Apologize? "Apologize for what?"


    Gu Nan reluctantly shifted his gaze from Shangguan Lan to Qiao Chunan. His eyes were filled with pride. He thought that Qiao Chunan had done what he did to attract his attention and prevent him from looking at other women.


    Thankfully, Qiao Chu An didn''t know what was on Gu Nan''s mind. Otherwise, he would have been so disgusted that he wouldn''t even be able to eat.


    "Are you not here to get Su Ran to apologize?" The puzzled look on Qiao Chun An''s face made Su Ran''s expression turn ugly.


    Before Gu Nan could say anything, Su Ran spoke up first, "Qiao Chunan, what nonsense are you spouting? I didn''t do anything wrong? Why should I apologize to you? "


    "Auntie Qiao, was it this auntie who tripped the waiter?" By the side, Bo Anjin had clearly heard Qiao Chunan''s words. Naturally, he could tell that Qiao Chunan was dissatisfied with this auntie.


    Bo Anjin''s clear voice was clearly heard by everyone present, and all eyes fell upon him at the same time.


    Being stared at by everyone, Bo Anjin did not show any sign of fear. Instead, he clearly stated his views.


    "Auntie Qiao and the other uncles and aunties don''t know each other, and only know you. If it wasn''t you, who else would it be?" At this time, Bo Anjin also remembered that his aunt and uncle was the same one he had met in the restaurant last time.


    Father and Auntie Qiao had clearly said that they were not familiar with each other, but now they actually hurt his father and Auntie Qiao. This was completely unforgivable!


    "If you don''t have any proof, then don''t spout nonsense, child!" When Su Ran heard Bo Anjin''s words, her face immediately darkened. Especially when her gaze fell on Su Ruo, she was unable to bear it any longer.


    "An An, what happened just now?"


    Shen Lin came late, not knowing what had just happened.


    Hearing Shen Lin''s question, Bo Anjin looked up and saw his father, who was discussing something at the side. He loudly said, "It''s this auntie who tripped the waiter. In order to save Auntie Qiao, my father''s clothes were drenched in alcohol!"


    The words that came out of Bo Anjin''s mouth were very clear, causing everyone to turn to look at the thin cultivator.

 C100

    His shirt was stained with an irregular layer of red, and everyone present could tell what was going on.


    He couldn''t help but look down on Su Ran. At the same time, he once again sighed in admiration at how the thin Xiuran had defended Qiao Chu An.


    There was no man who did not care about his reputation. Someone who did not have a strong heart would not be able to hold on to his clothes and chat happily even after blocking a disaster for his girlfriend.


    Shen Lin also turned his gaze over and saw the red wine on the back of Jian Chen''s hand. He couldn''t help but chuckle. As the younger brother of the Lan Clan, he had some understanding of their turtle hair''s character.


    He didn''t expect the thin Xiu Nan to have this kind of appearance.


    Could it be that he had really fallen on Qiao Chu An''s body?


    While he was thinking this, Shen Lin''s gaze fell on Qiao Chunan.


    It was undeniable that Qiao Chunan''s appearance today was similar to that of the former number one lady in S City.


    When Bo Anjin was reprimanding Su Ran, there was a complex expression in Guan Lan''s eyes as he looked at the Mimi. The expression in his eyes was obscure and unfathomable, and no one could understand the information in his eyes.


    When Su Ran heard about this matter with Bo Anjin, he wanted to reach out his hand to pull Bo Anjin away. He wanted to cover his mouth to stop him from talking any further.


    When Qiao Chu An saw Su Ran''s actions, he immediately pulled Bo Anjin behind him. His cold expression was the same as the cold expression of the thin Xiu Lun.


    "Su Ran, what are you trying to do? Are you angry from embarrassment? " The expression on Su Ran''s face became even more unsightly as Qiao Chuan pulled down his face.


    However, when Gu Nan saw Qiao Chunan''s expression, a sinister look flashed across his face. He squatted down and said to Bo Anjin, "Little friend, there are some things you shouldn''t say. Be careful not to speak carelessly."


    "Gu Nan, what nonsense are you talking about?" Hearing Gu Nan''s words, Qiao Chu An rubbed Bo Anjin''s head and calmed him down. He looked at Gu Nan with a face full of cold. "I think you''ve lived for a few decades for nothing. Disgusting!"


    "Do you know what you''re talking about, Jojouan?" Gu Nan heard Qiao Chuan An''s words and immediately stood up. He stretched out his hand, but was stopped by the person behind him.


    "Mr. Gu, this is a charity dinner, not the Gu family that you''re putting on a show for!" The aloof and aloof voice of the protector came from behind Gu Nan, making him feel a little uncomfortable.


    Gu Nan put down his hand and twisted his uncomfortable wrist. The corner of his mouth twitched, "Then this is not the Bo family where you turn black and white!"


    "Reversing black and white? Heh, looks like your wife hasn''t told you what she did before. " Xiuran walked over to Qiao Chunan from beside Gu Nan, rubbed his head, and asked softly, "Did no one make things difficult for you just now?"


    "No, have you finished talking?" He pursed his lips, a hint of shyness on his face, but his bearing was still as steady as ever.


    "Dad, with me protecting Auntie Qiao, Auntie Qiao will definitely be fine!" When Bo Anjin saw that his father had arrived, he felt more like a rooster than a rooster. He nearly raised his head to claim credit for his actions.


    Although the thin one was talking over there, his attention was focused on it.


    Naturally, he knew that Qiao Chuan An was not bullied.


    Even if Bo Anjin wasn''t of any use, Shen Lin was still here. As a brother, Shen Lin definitely wouldn''t sit idly by when he saw Qiao Chunan being criticized.


    "Ann''s great. I''ll get Aunt Hu to add a chicken leg for you when we get home tonight." With a smile on his face, he followed after Bo Anjin.


    "Only one?"


    "Could it be that you''re protecting Auntie Qiao because of the chicken leg?"


    Hearing his father slandering him like that, Bo Anjin immediately retorted, "No way! Dad, don''t speak nonsense!"


    Seeing how worried Bo Anjin was, Qiao Chu An waited for him and asked, "Why are you shouting at An An when you''re such a big person?"


    The three of them sounded like a family of three.


    Guan Lan stood beside Shen Lin, looking at the three of them. A trace of ridicule flashed across his face, but a moment later, he suppressed the mockery in his heart.


    "Feng Xiuran, if the Gu Clan really wants to fight against the Bo Clan, you won''t be able to get anything good out of it!" Gu Nan was so pressured by Yu Di that he couldn''t breathe, especially when he saw Qiao Chuan and Yu Yi stay next to Yu Nan, he couldn''t quell the anger in his heart.


    "Then give it a try!" With regards to Gu Nan''s level of threat, the thin cultivator didn''t take it to heart. Would the Gu Clan really fight against the Bo Clan? Would he, as the head of the clan, not know?


    Gu Nan didn''t know what to answer, but it was hard for him to accept her leaving like that.


    If he just left like that, what would the others think of the Gu Clan?


    "Are you really going to fight with the Gu family over a woman?" Gu Nan''s face became darker and darker, but at the same time, his anger towards Qiao Chuan An became deeper and deeper.


    This would not have happened today if it hadn''t been for George.


    "Your wife offended my girlfriend, offended my future wife. Do you think this matter can be resolved so easily?" There was a cold look on the face of the thin cultivator, making Gu Nan unconsciously tremble.


    He thought back to the time when Su Ran had taken action against Qiao Chunan, causing the Gu family and the Su family to suffer a great loss of vitality.


    The most important reason why his Gu family did not receive such a huge injury was because he had shown mercy. Of course, this did not exclude the fact that he made Su Ran kneel down and apologize in time.


    "Madam? "You want to marry Jojouan?" Upon hearing the words of the thin cultivator, Gu Nan, who had an ugly look on his face, suddenly turned into a man called Bao Gong.


    He had always regarded Qiao Chu''an as the only person he had no interest in. There was absolutely no way that he would be able to find someone else.


    Su Ran, who was at the side, looked exactly the same as Gu Nan when he heard what Xiao Xiu Nan said.


    She hated him, and if he did marry her, she was no match for him.


    Thinking up to this point, Su Ran felt hatred in his heart.


    When the other people at the scene heard this, they were also stunned.


    They had never heard of any scandal, the only one of which was that the Monk Hua Entertainment was in charge. However, that incident had already happened a long time ago.


    Furthermore, the people in their position had never seen anything like this before.


    It''s not so easy for a star to marry into a rich family.


    However, what they didn''t expect was that right at that time, the thin cultivator actually had a fiancee without any change in his expression at all.


    Some of the people present knew Qiao Chuan, and were very clear on what Mrs. Qiao had once looked like.


    However, these matters had nothing to do with them. At most, they would just treat it as a topic of discussion.


    When Qiao Chuan heard this, he was also a little taken aback.


    How come she never knew what he was planning to do?

 C101

    When Bo Anjin heard his father say so, he was afraid that he wouldn''t be able to jump up and give Bo Xiu Lan a smack.


    His biggest wish during this time was for Jojouan to be his mother.


    Qiao Chunan felt a little embarrassed at her words. He reached out his hand to rub her head, his eyes looking down.


    "You finally did a straightforward thing, Shuren." When Shen Lin saw that the thin shaman was serious, he couldn''t help but feel happy for him.


    Shen Lin''s words made Qiao Chunan feel even more embarrassed. His gaze unconsciously shifted to Guan Xiang Lan, wanting to say something to change the topic.


    One must know that as long as one has eyes, they would be able to tell that Shen Lin is interested in Shangguan Lan.


    However, when Qiao Chunan turned his gaze towards Shangguan Lan, he found that Shangguan Lan was staring at the side of the Lan''s face with a dazed and a complicated expression.


    However, he did not understand what kind of feelings they were. He could only put this matter down in his heart.


    At the same time, he remembered the time when he had been shopping with Lin Hanxia, he had encountered the incident where Guan Lan had alighted from the car.


    Although he said that he would only be a subordinate to Guan Guan Lan.


    But what the relationship was, he said, was only known to the person involved.


    She believed in the shaman, but she also believed in her eyes.


    After Diao Xiuran announced his relationship with Qiao Chunan, Gu Nan glared at Su Ran and walked to the other side. He knew that he was no match for the thin elmer now.


    He could only temporarily evade the sharp edge of the thin Emblem.


    After Bo Xiuran finished talking, he brought Qiao Chuan to continue meeting with his business partners.


    Of course he brought Bo Anjin along as well.


    There were very few people who took their children to the charity dinner, but the emollient was just a weirdo. No one felt that it was strange that he had brought his child out.


    Bo Xiuniang and Qiao Chunan went to see their business partner, while Shen Lin also brought the officials to the side.


    Although Bo Xiuran and Shen Lin were friends, their businesses were not the same.


    Dinner parties were usually used for people to communicate with each other.


    "This is Director Wang, he''s our company''s partner." Baoshu led Qiao Chunan and introduced him to everyone he knew.


    Bo Anjin followed closely behind her, calling out ''uncle'' to her one by one.


    Bo Anjin was a very adorable young man. Naturally, he ate very well amongst the group of middle-aged uncles.


    At the same time, he did not forget to mention Qiao Chuan. He would often mention him.


    He talked about how Auntie Qiao was doing. When others asked about his relationship with Qiao Chuan, Bo Anjin always said that Auntie Qiao would be his mother.


    Those present were all elites, how could they not know the reason for this action.


    Wasn''t it just to make them recognize him, so that they wouldn''t accidentally hurt him later on?


    Of course, the most important thing was to show off and find a girlfriend in front of them.


    After walking around, Qiao Chuan had pretty much gotten to know everyone.


    Since Bo Anjin was still young and a little tired, he brought him to the sofa to rest.


    When Qiao Chuan arrived beside the sofa, he saw Guan Guan Lan sitting there.


    Shangguan Lan''s expression was a little tired, but even so, it was still a lively and fragrant scene.


    When Bo Anjin saw that it was Shangguan Lan, he knew this aunt. It seemed like she had a good relationship with Auntie Qiao.


    After making sure that Shang Guan Lan was not in danger, Bo Anjin fell asleep while resting his head on Qiao Chuan''s thigh.


    When Qiao Chuan saw that Shangguan Lan was here, his emotions became complicated. She was sure that she had not misjudged Shangguan Lan''s expression. Even when he met Shen Lin at the back, the expression on Guan Lan''s face was still complicated.


    Even her attitude was subtle.


    She didn''t even know what she was thinking, but it definitely had something to do with her.


    "Lan Lan, why are you thinking of coming here with Shen Lin today?" Qiao Chunan patted her back while casually chatting with Shangguan Jinglan.


    "Shen Lin?" At the mention of Shen Lin, Guan Lan lowered her eyes with a baffled expression. In any case, she couldn''t tell what Qiao Chuan was talking about, "He''s a good person. He said he needed a girlfriend, so I came over. "


    Regarding the relationship between him and Shen Lin, Guan Lan did not say it explicitly, but similarly, she did not show any expression of shyness or joy.


    It was like mentioning a stranger.


    "Lan Lan, can I ask if you have misunderstood me?" Qiao Chao An couldn''t directly ask if she was related to Mian Xiu, so he took a detour and said, "I found out that you are a little strange today."


    "Is that so?" Shangguan Lan''s expression was cold, but the words she said seemed to come out from her nose, "Are you trying to ask me what relationship I have with the CEO?"


    When Shangguan Lan mentioned this issue, her face held a trace of mockery. "I don''t have anything to do with him. I just want to tell you that he is not a good person."


    Having said so, Guan Lan stood up and prepared to walk to another location of the banquet.


    However, when he walked up to Qiao Chunan, he bent down slightly and a delicate fragrance wafted into Qiao Chunan''s nose. "He really isn''t a good person."


    Qiao Chunan raised his head and looked at the back view of Guan Jinglan with mixed feelings.


    She didn''t know how to explain this feeling. It felt like her heart was stuffed with a phone number. She was very depressed, but at the same time, she was at a loss of what to do.


    She had a feeling that things were not as simple as that.


    She had no idea what was the relationship between Guan Lan and Yu Rou.


    What if there really was something going on between Guan Guan Lan and Yu Rou? Why did he introduce himself to everyone today? Then what kind of existence was Shen Lin?


    As Qiao Chu An thought about these things, his mood became even more chaotic.


    Time slowly passed. When it was almost the end of the banquet, the thin Shuriken came over.


    "An An has fallen asleep. I''ll carry him up." The Elementary Cultivator who came over saw Bo Anjin sleeping on Qiao Chun An''s thigh. He couldn''t help but sigh lightly and pick up Bo Anjin.


    "Is your leg okay? Is there any numbness?"


    "It''s fine, it''s fine. You carry him to the car first, I''ll be right there." Qiao Chao An rubbed his numb legs and raised his head to look at the thin Shura beside him. "You can go. I will be fine very soon."


    Bo Anjin was sleeping soundly in the Shura''s arms. Qiao Chunan didn''t want him to wake up from his sleep, so he spoke softly.


    "Then wait here for me. I''ll be right over." He carried her into the car on his long legs and prepared to go back to the dinner table to pick her up.


    But Jojouan had followed him out.


    Seeing this, the emaciated lips of the emirate curled, but she did not say anything else. Closing the car door, she drove to the Bo family''s villa.

 C102

    Originally, she planned to return to the small apartment that he lived in, but he refused. She thought that it would be a weekend tomorrow and that she should let the child go home.


    At least the old man hadn''t seen Bo Anjin in a long time.


    She could not just forget the old man in her house.


    He sat in the driver''s seat and looked at Qiao Chunan''s expression through the rearview mirror. He asked casually, "Are you unhappy?"


    With regard to the expression on his face, he could clearly distinguish it.


    He thought she should be happy that he had introduced her to someone today.


    He didn''t expect that he would be so depressed.


    "I''ve had a good time. Thank you for what you''ve done for me today."


    After hearing Qiao Chuan An''s thanks, Xiu Nan was not only not happy, his mood turned from happy to gloomy.


    He and Joachim had been too polite, too polite, not between a couple, not between them.


    He did not know what he was thinking, nor did he know what relation he had to the emperor.


    When the three of them returned to the Bo family, the old man still hadn''t slept. Seeing the three of them dressed like this, a trace of gratification flashed in his eyes.


    He didn''t think he was far from his grandson''s marriage.


    No one knew what Old Man Bo was thinking, but just as he was about to be carried to bed, Bo Anjin suddenly woke up.


    Seeing the familiar surroundings, Bo Anjin looked around but didn''t see Qiao Chuan An. He opened his mouth and said with a tearful voice, "Dad, where is Aunt Qiao? Does Auntie Qiao not want me anymore? "


    As soon as Qiao Chao An finished using the toilet, he heard Bo An Jin''s crying and quickly walked towards her room.


    "An An, what''s wrong?"


    Hearing Qiao Chu An''s voice, the tear-stained Bo An Jin immediately grinned, "Aunt Qiao, you''re still here? I thought you didn''t want me anymore. "


    "An''an is so cute, how could I not?" Qiao Chunan patted Bo Anjin''s head. His expression was very gentle, and his words were like the spring rain. This caused Bo Anjin''s uneasy heart to immediately calm down.


    Bo Anjin really enjoyed this lifestyle. Every day, his parents would send him to school and pick him up after work.


    He would not be told by the children in kindergarten that he was a motherless child.


    He could pull Jojouan along and tell the children who said he had no mother that this was his mother.


    He wanted Jojoun to be his mother, but Jojouan was not his mother yet, so Bo Anjin always felt uneasy.


    Auntie Qiao was afraid that one day, she would no longer be his mother.


    "Then, Auntie Qiao, can you promise me to stay here with me? I''m afraid that you''ll leave if I fall asleep." Although Bo Anjin took Qiao Chuan''s words to heart, he was still afraid.


    The smile on Qiao Chuan An''s face was still very gentle. After patting Bo Anjin''s head, he got him to wash up and then sat down on the bed to tell him a story.


    When the topic came to the point where Bo Anjin was about to fall asleep, Qiao Chuanan was about to leave when he suddenly heard a mutter from Bo Anjin, "Mom."


    When he heard the name ''Bo Anjin'', tears began to flow down his face.


    In order not to let the Shuriken see that something was wrong, he turned and left.


    When she came to the Bo house, the steward had prepared a guest room for Jojouan.


    After seeing the look on Qiao Chunan''s face, Bo Xiuran was a little worried, so he followed him out.


    "What''s wrong?" The thin Xiuran touched Qiao Chuan An''s hair behind his back, his expression softening a bit. It was no longer as indifferent as before.


    "Nothing." Qiao Chao An wiped the water from his eyes. He turned his head to look at the Xiu Lan. His eyes were shining, making him look even more pitiful.


    Baoshu saw the look on Qiao Chunan''s face, and his heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head, and just as his lips were about to reach Qiao Chunan''s face, he was dodged by Qiao Chunan.


    "Chu An, we are in a relationship of a man and a woman." The thin one held him in her arms, her voice a little hoarse.


    Qiao Chunan felt his heart beat a little fast, but he still felt vexed over the relationship between the two of them.


    She was somewhat against being in close contact with others, but as a couple, she couldn''t possibly be lacking in close relationships.


    "Give me some time." Qiao Chunan pressed his hands against the thin shaman''s chest, his face was full of shyness. The sadness caused by the mother''s name had dissipated by a lot.


    Baoshu let out a light sigh and brought Jojouan into the guest room.


    "I saw that you were in a bad mood. What was the reason?" It wasn''t that he needed to be clear about what was going on, it was just that he felt that the communication between the two of them was too little.


    In the past, he was used to using her as a cut-in point, but without her, he found that she was basically unable to talk to him.


    "No reason." Joachim did not want to talk about it.


    She had told him about it before, and she had told him then and there that he didn''t mind, but she didn''t want to talk about it now.


    She missed her children.


    Especially when Bo Anjin was calling her mother in her dreams, she wondered if her child would call her mother in his sleep as well.


    She didn''t know anything about the child.


    He didn''t even know what kind of person the child''s father was, much less what would happen to the child''s mother.


    Even though she kept comforting herself that if that person could use such a high price to impregnate her, he would definitely treat the child well.


    However, this self-consolation, in one day did not know the news of her child, her heart can not really calm down.


    "If you have anything to tell me, I can definitely help you." Baoshu held Qiao Chunan''s hand with a serious expression on his face. He was solemnly making a promise to Qiao Chunan.


    Qiao Chunan raised his head and looked at her. His heart felt warm as the expression on his face softened.


    Thinking about the power of the emollient, he thought he might be able to find out something about her child.


    She didn''t want to do anything, she just wanted to know how the baby was doing.


    He opened his mouth, but in the end, Qiao Chuan shook his head and did not speak of what had happened at the bottom of his heart.


    She felt that she was willing to accept her past, but not necessarily willing to help her with it.


    No matter when the child was born, she did give birth to a child.


    If she had been focusing her energy on that child, she would not have wanted it.


    Seeing that he had no intention of talking, Bian knew that he was tired and prepared to leave.

 C103

    When Xiuran left, he looked at his shirt which was still stained with red wine and could not help but say, "Xiuran, thank you so much today."


    "There''s no need to thank me. You''re my girlfriend, so you should do these things." "Good night. I wish you a good dream."


    "Good night, good dream." Joachim said good night to Perseus and closed the door.


    After washing up, Qiao Chu An''s emotions were still mixed. However, he didn''t think too much and fell asleep.


    The dinner tonight had drained his energy.


    When he woke up the next day, he thought about his promise to Bo Anjin and immediately went to the bathroom to wash up.


    When she came out, Bo Anjin was already in her room, even waiting for her outside the bathroom door.


    "Mom, you''re still here." Seeing that he came out of the bathroom, Bo Anjin breathed a sigh of relief. He was still wearing his pajamas and pulled on his clothes.


    "An An, why are you here so early?" After finishing his shower, Qiao Chu An went out. He was obviously shocked to see Bo Anjin.


    "I was afraid you''d leave, Mom. You said you wouldn''t leave me." Bo Anjin held onto Qiao Chuan''s calf with a pitiful expression on his face. "Mom, you won''t leave me, right?"


    "An An, you can''t call me mother. I haven''t married your father yet." Qiao Chao An was somewhat conflicted over the issue of how they should address each other.


    Usually, when she went out, Anthea would call her mother occasionally, but she couldn''t refuse every single time, so sometimes she would acquiesce.


    But now that they were at the Bo family''s residence, Qiao Chuan didn''t want the Bo family to misunderstand.


    Qiao Chuan rubbed Bo Anjin''s head and said with a gentle voice, "I will not go back on what I promised you."


    "Okay, Mom." This time, Bo Anjin didn''t have any intentions of doing as Qiao Chuan said. He found that as long as there weren''t any excessive demands, Aunt Qiao would agree to them.


    "An''an." Qiao Chunan''s voice was a bit loud.


    "Mom, you already said that you won''t abandon me. Now that you''re with my dad, you''ll definitely be my mom. Why can''t I call you Mom?"


    Hearing Qiao Chuan An''s shout, tears welled up in Bo Anjin''s eyes, causing him to feel relieved.


    Seeing this, Qiao Chu An knew that there was no way to change the name. At the same time, he didn''t want to make An An''s heart hurt.


    A name soon? Why bother so much?


    "Mom, I haven''t brushed my teeth yet. I''m going to brush my teeth now. You have to wait for me to have breakfast with you." Bo Anjin pulled at Qiao Chuan''s hand, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face. "Mom, you have to wait for me."


    "Why don''t you come with me to my room?" Bo Anjin carefully observed the expression on Qiao Chuan''s face. Other than helplessness, there was no hint of displeasure on her face. Thus, he kept his mother by his mouth.


    "Mom, let''s go to my room."


    Being stared at by the bright eyes of Bo Anjin, Qiao Chunan was left with no choice but to shake his head and follow Bo Anjin to his room.


    It was only seven in the morning.


    Bo Anjin came over as soon as he woke up.


    Qiao Chunan was in the room where Bo Anjin was washing his teeth and changing his clothes. When it was almost 7: 30, someone knocked on the door.


    Not long after, a person walked in.


    "Chu An, you''re up so early?" At the same time, she turned to look at the man wearing a coat beside her.


    Did he call the person over?


    When Bo Anjin saw the meaning behind the gaze, he could not help but raise his head with a pleased expression on his face, "Mom, my clothes are not easy to wear. Can you come over and help me?"


    At the moment, Bo Anjin was wearing a small waistcoat, which made it a little difficult to get into.


    Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, Qiao Chunan did not refute his address and walked over to help him dress.


    Seeing this action of Qiao Chun An''s, the thin Shura couldn''t help but raise her eyebrows. In the past, whenever Bo An Jin called out to her mother, she would always refute, but this time she actually agreed.


    Bo Anjin''s eyes sparkled as he looked at Xiuran. The smile on his face was very obvious, as if he was saying, Look, Auntie Qiao is finally my mother now.


    Regarding this idea of Bo Anjin''s, Qiao Chuan did not have any feelings. On the other hand, he gave Bo Anjin a thumbs up, indicating that he had done a good job in this matter.


    Seeing this expression, the smile on Bo Anjin''s face became even more pronounced.


    Qiao Chuan didn''t know about their expressions. He was just thinking about his own child while he was dressing Bo Anjin.


    Shaking his head, Qiao Chu An suppressed the various thoughts in his mind.


    Today was the weekend, and George had promised to take Bo Anjin out to play.


    Of course, the Asherah would follow him out.


    After a day of playing, Bo Anjin was very happy. He felt that his dream had finally come true, having a father and a mother.


    At night, after Qiao Chunan coaxed Bo Anjin to sleep, he went back to his room. His emotions were in turmoil.


    The day she played with Bo Xiuniang and Bo Anjin made her miss her child even more.


    The reason why the original her had been able to suppress her thoughts was because she had no way to find out about her child''s whereabouts.


    But now, all she needed to do was ask for help from the Shura, and she would definitely know the situation of her child.


    After thinking about it for a long time, Joachim decided to leave the matter to Persephone.


    As for the others, she was afraid of bringing unfavorable effects to the child, but it would not be such a problem if she were to hand it over to the thin-skinned man.


    After making up his mind, he went to the room where Shuriken was staying and looked for him.


    It was ten o''clock in the evening, and the thin-shaven man was still awake, still in the study.


    He knocked on the door and was called in.


    The decorations of the study are cold and hard, which is in line with the taste of the scholar.


    "Chu An, why aren''t you sleeping at this time of the night?" The thin Shuren saw Qiao Chuan An come in and put down the brush and rubbed his forehead. Then, he gathered the information in his hand, got up and sat on the sofa beside Qiao Chuan An.


    "Xiu Nan, there''s something I want you to help me with." Qiao Chuan lowered his head slightly. A trace of unease flashed across his face, but he soon calmed down.


    "If there''s anything you need help with, just say it. If there''s anything I can do, I''ll definitely help you."


    The sound of her laughter broke Qiao Chu An''s hesitating thoughts.


    "Xiu Nan, I want you to help me look up information about my child." Qiao Chu settled in for a while and finally said what he wanted to say.


    Hearing Qiao Chuan An''s words, the expression on the thin Xiu Nong''s face immediately darkened. However, Qiao Chuan An lowered his head and did not notice the thin Xiu Nang''s defense.


    After waiting for a while, Qiao Chunan didn''t hear a reply. He raised his head and saw that the face of the thin cultivator was very ugly.


    "Chu An, I can''t agree to this." His voice was cold as he rejected Qiao Chuan An''s request.


    Originally, he had hoped that Xiuran would help her deal with this matter. However, after being hit on the head like that, Qiao Chunan was a little confused. He muttered: "Why?"


    "Chu An, since you''ve already signed the contract, you must abide by it. Also, what''s the use of finding out about the child?"


    There was a chill in her voice that brought him back from his trance.

 C104

    "I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have asked for your help. I think we should calm down. " Jojouan lowered his head and moved back a step, one step away from the light.


    She had originally thought of this possibility and knew that her request was a bit too much. However, Xiuran''s forceful rejection made Qiao Chun An uncomfortable.


    It wasn''t that she didn''t know that what she was doing was wrong, but there were some thoughts that she couldn''t control.


    She wanted her own child, even if she had sold it.


    Although it was very hypocritical and she hated herself for it, she really couldn''t stop worrying about her child. How was he? Did he get bullied? Did his parents treat him well?


    Seeing that Qiao Chuan had taken a step back, Baoshu knew that his attitude just now had hurt him.


    He put down the ugly expression on his face and said in a softer voice, "Chu An, you have to think about An''an. If An An knew that you were worried about another child, he would definitely be sad."


    When Qiao Chuan heard the answer, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.


    She really liked being safe and didn''t want to suffer, but at the same time, she also wanted to know news about her child.


    "I know, I won''t let you look into this anymore." Qiao Chunan pushed open the door of the room and staggered back into his own room.


    As for whether or not he would let someone else help him with this matter, he had not decided yet. However, she would not let him help her with this matter.


    Xiuran looked at Qiao Chuan An''s back and pressed his forehead with his hand, feeling a little annoyed.


    It was impossible for him to investigate this. If he let Qiao Chun An know that he was the same person from five years ago, perhaps she would have just left him.


    He had a good grasp of her personality. It was obvious that she was soft on the outside but tough on the inside.


    She seemed delicate and weak, but her personality was especially strong.


    She wouldn''t have done that five years ago. If he had a weaker personality, he might even commit suicide.


    He didn''t dare to gamble, he didn''t dare to bet on his position in her heart.


    He didn''t know when he put Qiao Chu in his heart, but he knew very well that he didn''t want Qiao Chuan to know that it was him.


    He originally wanted to take revenge, but now he couldn''t.


    Whether he should give up or not, Siu Siin felt that it was better to leave it to the time.


    He was a man who had never believed in time. What he said about giving time to decide was purely to give himself a way out.


    To put it bluntly, he did not want revenge anymore.


    But what would happen in the end, he didn''t want to think about.


    At the same time, back in his own room, he was feeling conflicted.


    She felt that she had been spoiled by the thin shaman. She felt that she had relied on the thin shaman to help her with so many things in order to come up with such an unreasonable request.


    He was right.


    He clearly signed the contract himself.


    Why did he regret signing the contract now?


    Qiao Chunan looked down on him.


    Qiao Chuan An hugged his legs at the foot of the bed, his chin resting on his knees. He was curled into a ball.


    Qiao Chunan warned himself repeatedly that he should never think of that child. He should never think of that child.


    She would only bring trouble to the child now. There could be no other help.


    She could not be that selfish. She could not destroy the child''s childhood because of her own selfishness.


    She definitely could not investigate where her child was. If her child''s father knew about this, her contract would be ruined.


    Qiao Chunan stared at the decorative design on the side of the bed while admonishing himself in his mind.


    After he had hypnotized himself, he fell into a deep sleep.


    When he woke up the next morning, it was almost ten o''clock.


    Qiao Chunan opened his eyes and looked at the bright sky. He blinked his eyes. He had given away a lot of things that he had been suppressing.


    She had already buried the child deep in her memory, just like she had done abroad for the past five years. As long as she didn''t think about it, she wouldn''t feel uncomfortable.


    Not long after Qiao Chuanan woke up, Bo Anjin walked in with hot milk bread.


    Bo Anjin''s small face was round, and when he was carrying the tray, his head was visibly trembling.


    "Mom, you''re awake. I''ve brought you breakfast." Bo Anjin placed the breakfast on the tea table and climbed onto Qiao Chuan''s bed. His eyes were shining, "Mom, I''m awesome."


    "Un, great. An''an sure is great." Joachim rubbed Bo Anjin''s head and kissed him on the cheek.


    Bo Anjin felt a little embarrassed by Qiao Chunan''s kiss, but he still had a very happy smile on his face.


    "Why is An An getting up so early today?" Qiao Chuan was washing his face and chatting with An An. "Why didn''t you come and get me?"


    "Dad said Mom was tired yesterday and needs to rest more today." Bo Anjin sat on the sofa at the side, swinging his legs. He continued to smile as he looked at Qiao Chun An who was washing his face in the bathroom.


    For the past two days, the fact that Qiao Chun An was here really made Bo Anjin feel like his parents were with him.


    For such a life, Bo Anjin was extremely happy.


    He even thought about taking his parents to the kindergarten with him.


    Let those kindergartens say he has no mother to meet all the children, he has a very beautiful, very gentle mother.


    That day, Little Fatty saw it all by himself. Those children did not believe his words, he would definitely let them see his mother.


    Even the teacher knew that he had a very beautiful mother.


    Thinking of these things, Bo Anjin was very happy as he watched Qiao Chuan An''s figure.


    He was no longer a motherless child.


    When Qiao Zheng An finished washing his face and came out, he saw Bo Anjin giggling by his side. He could not help but ask, "What is An An thinking? So happy. "


    "I''m thinking about my mom. Mom, when the next time we are going to have a child, you come with dad. I''ll let Little Fatty and the others know that I have a mom too. I''m not a motherless child!"


    When Bo Anjin said this, he raised both his hands, indicating that he definitely wouldn''t allow those kindergarten students to look down on him.


    Looking at the smiling face of Bo Anjin, Qiao Chunan forced himself to hide the pain in his heart. He smiled at Bo Anjing and said, "Yes, yes. Next time I will accompany you to participate in the kindergarten''s children''s event and let them know that An An is the most favoured child in the family."


    When Bo Anjin heard Qiao Chuan''s words, his eyes lit up. "Mom, it''s breakfast. Dad specifically asked me to prepare this for you."


    "Where did your father go?" Joachim looked at the breakfast on the table and picked up the glass of milk. The milk was still warm, so it was the perfect time to eat.


    Qiao Chuanan didn''t expect to wake up late today. She remembered that she had set the alarm, but why didn''t it ring?


    Thinking about this, Qiao Chunan took his phone from the bedside table.


    He turned on the computer and found that the alarm clock on it had been turned off.


    He thought he had turned it off last night, so he did not think too much about it.


    "Right, An An, how did you get in?" Only then did Qiao Chuan remember to ask this question.


    In her years abroad, she had developed a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder. When she slept there, she would check the lock repeatedly to see if it was locked.


    She didn''t have much money while she was overseas, and her living place wasn''t that good. When she returned home at night, she had to check whether the door was closed or not a few times.


    Foreign countries were not safe, and the sense of danger she needed was slowly cultivated by her after witnessing some of the things that happened around her.


    "Uncle butler has the key. I asked him for it." Bo Anjin rolled his eyes and continued, "Uncle Butler got up very early. As long as you go out, you will be able to see him."


    Hearing Bo Anjin say so, Qiao Chuan did not take the matter to heart.


    With regards to the housekeeper having the key to the guest room, he did not think too much about it. She didn''t know what kind of lock it was.


    "An An, have you made any other arrangements today?" Jojouan had no other plans this weekend, so he decided to spend the next two days accompanying Bo Anjin.


    After Bo Anjin heard that Qiao Chunan was going to play with her for another day, he thought for a moment and said to Qiao Chunan, "Mom, let''s go play building blocks. Dad bought me a castle some time ago, I haven''t finished stacking it up yet."


    Hearing about the building blocks of the castle, Qiao Chuanan thought for a moment. He didn''t refuse and carried down the dining plate. Then, he accompanied Bo Anjin to the toy room next door.


    The toy house was full of toys. Qiao Chuan saw clearly that the toys he bought were all placed in the most eye-catching place. The biggest place in the room was filled with piles of bricks.


    Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin spent the entire day piling up the building blocks before they finally managed to pile up the rudiments of the castle.


    It had to be said that this game was very suitable for time-consuming games.


    It was almost nightfall, and he was ready to stay at his own place.


    After staying at the Bo house for the past two nights, he felt a little embarrassed and didn''t want to stay any longer.


    When Bo Anjin heard that Qiao Chunan was leaving, he immediately started a ruckus and wanted to go home with Qiao Chunan.

 C105

    The family of three led a sweet life for Qiao Chuan, but it was true that two days had passed since the incident with Su Ran.


    After the party, Su Ran went to find Gu Nan.


    Gu Nan''s attitude towards Su Ran had long since changed, especially after the Su Clan''s assets had been reduced, especially after Su Ran had implicated the Gu Clan in being suppressed by the Bo Clan.


    "Gu Nan, are you interested in Shen Lin''s girlfriend?" Su Ran had placed all of her hopes on Gu Nan, so she was very familiar with his movements.


    He glanced at her and she knew what he was thinking.


    In the past, she could not care less about her companions, but she could not do so for those in the government.


    The woman was too beautiful.


    Su Ran was confident in his appearance, but this confidence in his appearance was incomparable to that of Shangguan Lan.


    It was just like how fireflies dared to compare with the light of the sun and the moon.


    "What are you talking about?" Hearing Su Ran''s question, Gu Nan became impatient. He pulled at his tie, revealing his red neck. The way he looked at Su Ran became colder and colder.


    Su Ran was naturally very clear about the change in Gu Nan''s feelings.


    But even knowing how cold Gu Nan was to her, she didn''t want to let go of him.


    She had nothing to compare to Qiao Chuan An. If Gu Nan abandoned her, she wouldn''t be able to imagine how Qiao Chun An would mock her.


    It could be said that Gu Nan was Su Ran''s lifeline.


    She could not let go.


    "I''m spouting nonsense? How can you not know how exposed your eyes are when you look at that little star Shangguan Lan? "If you had known she was Shen Lin''s woman, I''m afraid your Gu Clan wouldn''t have wanted it!"


    Su Ran looked at the impatient expression on Gu Nan''s face and felt a little disintegrated.


    When Gu Nan heard Su Ran''s words, the veins on his forehead popped out.


    He really didn''t like how others looked down on the Gu Clan.


    Now that Su Ran had said that his Gu family couldn''t even compare to Shen Lin''s company, Gu Nan''s bottom line had been completely crossed.


    "What did you say?" Gu Nan walked in front of Su Ran with fury. He reached out his hand to pinch her neck and said with a vicious expression, "Say what you just said again?"


    When Su Ran saw Gu Nan''s expression, a trace of fear flashed past her eyes. However, she was suppressed after a short while and pushed Gu Nan away with both hands and feet. Her voice was quiet and hoarse, but the meaning behind her words was not to give in.


    "What do you want me to say? That you can''t compare to a thin shaman? Or are you saying that you are unable to defeat Shen Lin? "


    "You slut, keep talking nonsense! Let''s see you spouting nonsense! "


    Hearing Su Ran''s words, Gu Nan''s anger rushed to his head. However, he didn''t want to panic and let go as he felt the strength under his hands weakening.


    Gu Nan put Su Ran down, coughed a few times, and with a pale face, he said, "Gu Nan, you better kill me, or I''ll carry you and die with me!"


    Gu Nan had originally calmed down and was infuriated by Su Ran. He immediately stretched out his hand, wanting to strangle Su Ran to death.


    At this time, Su Ran grabbed the bedside lamp and swung it at Gu Nan''s head. As the two of them were beating each other, Gu Nan knocked Su Ran unconscious.


    Only after watching the chaos in the room did Gu Nan finally wake up.


    Gu Nan''s intelligence returned to normal after he had awoken. He got someone to get Su Ran out of the country, and wanted to announce that Su Ran had gone abroad to study.


    It had been two days since Gu Nan sent Su Ran out of the country.


    After hearing this news, Qiao Chu An was stunned for a moment.


    As Su Ran''s best friend, she naturally knew that Su Ran didn''t like to study. Why would he want to study abroad?


    However, Qiao Chunan did not know the details and had no way to know. He just threw this information to the back of his mind.


    At work, Qiao Zheng An once again saw Guan Lan go to the CEO''s office to look for Lan Shuyan. He felt a little uncomfortable, she always felt that he had some feelings for Lan Shuyan.


    But judging from the dinner party that night, Shen Lin was very fond of Guan Lan.


    That day, Shen Lin''s gaze never left Guan Lan.


    He did not want to have anything to do with the official scriptures.


    Especially after what Guan Lan said to her that day.


    When he was giving the materials to the thin elementalist, Qiao Chunan told him about this matter.


    "Xiu Nan, I always feel that Guan Lan is interested in you." Joachim learned not to beat around the bush, and didn''t want his words to change to something else, so he said it very straightforwardly.


    The first thing Shura thought of when he heard her say this was that she was jealous.


    But after a while, he realized that he was overthinking it.


    Even if she was jealous, she wouldn''t have said it so bluntly.


    "No, I don''t mean anything to her." He placed the pen in his hand down, and with a solemn look on his face, he said, "I am only interested in you."


    Hearing the sudden confession, Qiao Chao An felt embarrassed for a moment. His face was slightly flushed, but he did not forget his purpose in coming over to talk about this matter.


    "Mister Shen likes Miss Guan. If Miss Shang really likes you, there will be some trouble later on." Jojouan did not want to see a gap between Shen Lin and Xi Xiurin because of this.


    After listening to Qiao Chuan An''s words, he thought for a moment and decided to ask Shen Lin out for a chat at noon.


    He was a man, perhaps unaware of what she meant to him.


    "I will ask Shen Lin out for a chat during lunch time. Come with me." After thinking about it for a moment, the thin Xiu Nan took this matter to heart.


    Hearing this, a warm feeling flashed across Qiao Chunan''s heart. He felt that his opinion was not considered nonsense by others. On the contrary, it attracted the attention of the thin cultivator and made him feel happy.


    He did not refuse her permission to come with him.


    It was lunchtime, and he went out with her.


    Of course, they didn''t let the people from the company find out that they went out with them.


    The restaurant was not far away from where Shen Lin''s restaurant was. Not long after he arrived, Shen Lin came over as well.


    "Why did you want to treat me to a meal?" Is this considered inviting a friend to dinner after the relationship is decided? "


    After Shen Lin arrived, he sat opposite of Qiao Chunan and Xiuran. He looked at the two seated side by side with a teasing expression on his face.


    "The reason I called you over today is to talk to you about the bureaucracy." The thin Shuren did not say anything, but went straight to the point.


    Shen Lin originally had a casual expression on his face. However, when he heard the thin cultivator''s words, he couldn''t help but straighten his body. At the same time, he looked at the thin cultivator, as if he was sizing him up.

 C106

    "You brought your girlfriend here to tell me about the matter of Guan Lan. I''m afraid that won''t be too good, right?" Shen Lin unconsciously clenched his hands, his expression turning unsightly when he said those words.


    "This is exactly what Chu An told me. She said that Guan Lan likes me a little." When he said those words, Shen Lin''s expression became extremely ugly.


    Qiao Chunan saw that the two of them were in a state of tension and did not know where to place his hands or feet. He felt that he had messed up his plan today.


    "Then what did you call me here to say? Does that mean you have more charisma? " Shen Lin had a few words to say.


    How could he not know about the attitude of the government officials towards him.


    It was because he knew about this that he was afraid of being revealed.


    He didn''t want to look so petty.


    However, his heart had always been with Guan Lan, so he couldn''t help but be humble.


    "Mister Shen, I didn''t say anything about how charming he is. He didn''t even realize that Miss Guan liked him. I was the one who told him that."


    Qiao Chu An saw that the situation was getting worse, so he came out to take the blame.


    "This is my feeling. If you feel that something is wrong, then come at me. Xiu Nan told you this matter because he wants to solve it. He does not want Miss Guan to affect your relationship."


    The expression on Qiao Chu An''s face was especially solemn. His voice was also slowly getting stronger, calming down Shen Lin''s fidgety.


    By his side, when he saw how much Qiao Chunan cared about his relationship with Shen Lin, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.


    He felt that Qiao Chuan An had really put him at the bottom of his heart.


    Although she still found it hard to be intimate with him, he believed that his sweet life with him would soon come.


    "I know, I know." Shen Lin muttered to himself.


    How could he not know?


    He was the person involved, and he knew it better than anyone else.


    It was just that he wanted to pretend that he wasn''t clear.


    "Then do you know why you are still with Shangguan Lan? Can''t we just separate from her? " "When you saw her, I said she wasn''t suitable for you."


    "If you say it''s not suitable, then it''s not suitable? So what if she likes you? I''ll make her like me. " Shen Lin rolled his eyes and was extremely dissatisfied with what he said.


    If he could control his heart, if he could say he didn''t like it, he wouldn''t like it. Would he want to be like this?


    Hearing Shen Lin''s words, the thin Xiuran didn''t know what to say, so he simply didn''t say anything.


    Qiao Chu An, on the other hand, listened to Shen Lin''s words.


    This matter was truly inhumane.


    Just like her, when she returned to her hometown, she didn''t think that she would ever find a boyfriend.


    One had to know that the first time she saw him, she was terrified of him.


    Unexpectedly, he was his boyfriend.


    And now she was worried about the relationship between him and his brother.


    It had to be said that this matter was very strange and very moving.


    "Then Mister Shen, if there is anything between Miss Guan and Xiu Lan that makes you uncomfortable, you must know that it is impossible for Xiu Lan to have any feelings for Miss Guan."


    Qiao Chun An had worked in Shanghua Entertainment before, so he naturally knew a little about the entertainment industry''s operations.


    When Shen Lin heard Qiao Chuan An''s words, he couldn''t help but turn to Qiao Chunan and pursed his lips. "You seem to be protecting him now?"


    "He''s my boyfriend, it''s only right for me to protect him." Even if there were some things that he didn''t need, she would still do what she needed to do.


    Hearing Qiao Chuan An''s words, although the smile was not obvious, there were still some smiles. There was even a trace of pride in his heart.


    When Shen Lin saw the expression on her face, he found it hard to believe what he saw.


    "Alright, you guys are amazing." Shen Lin also didn''t want to talk to them about this matter. Otherwise, the one who would be injured in the end would still be him.


    Who asked him to talk about single people?


    He was even called over to talk about how someone he liked liked others.


    For some reason, he felt sorry for himself.


    After finishing his meal, Shen Lin left.


    He decided that the next time he ate alone with this couple, he would be a pig!


    After Shen Lin left, Qiao Chuan An and Bo Xiuran went back to work at the company.


    Of course, it was still Qiao Chunan who returned first.


    After all, if the CEO wanted to get off work, she would do so. There was no need to be on the HR department.


    In the afternoon, after work, the two of them went to the kindergarten to pick up Bo Anjin from school.


    One had to know that the matter of taking over Bo Anjin''s class had lasted for a period of time. Originally, he had told Bo Anjin that the two of them would not go together, but he did not agree to it at all.


    Of course, Bo Anjin would not agree to it. It was with great difficulty that he finally had his parents come to pick him up from school. He had only agreed to it because he was a fool.


    In the previous few times when Qiao Chuan An went to pick him up, he had always called for his auntie. Today, when his mother came to pick him up, he would definitely call for his mother in front of other people.


    Bo Anjin had been thinking about it during class all day, but when school was over, only his father came to pick him up.


    Bo Anjin was a bit unhappy.


    "An An, what''s wrong? If you''re unhappy, dad will come over to pick you up? " When Bo Xiuran saw the unhappy expression on Bo Anjin''s face, he could not help but bend down and rub Bo Anjin''s head. Their eyes met.


    Bo Anjin pouted and said unhappily, "Dad, you didn''t even ask Mom to come down to pick me up."


    "Then do you dislike your father?" The thin Shura did not explain the reason, but directly took himself for an example.


    Bo Anjin thought for a moment, but he did not turn his back on his father. All he wanted was for his parents to come and pick him up.


    Seeing that he had pacified her, the two of them walked to the car parked beside them.


    "Mom, I have a good lesson today." When Bo Anjin saw Qiao Chuan An, he immediately stepped forward to hug him.


    Qiao Chuanan did not refuse and carried Bo Anjin to the back of the car.


    "Ann''s great." Joachim did not mind his praise.


    "Then Mom should have given me a reward." Bo Anjin raised his head and waited for a while for Qiao Chun An to kiss him.


    "What reward do you want?" There was a very gentle smile on Qiao Chuan''s face. Feeling his mother''s love towards him, Bo Anjin couldn''t help but grin.


    He pointed at his own face, "Mom, after you praised me yesterday, you gave me a kiss. I want it now too."


    After listening to the conversation between the two, the thin Shuren Phoenix who was following behind Bo Anjin raised an eyebrow.


    Qiao Chuan placed a kiss on Bo Anjin''s face, causing him to smile like a flower.


    Bo Anjin took the small bag in her hands and rolled his eyes. With a sincere expression, he said, "Mom, dad is very obedient too. You also have to give him a kiss."

 C107

    What Bo Anjin had said had succeeded in making Qiao Chu An blush.


    However, looking down at the sparkling eyes of Bo Anjin, he found it hard to refuse.


    Hearing what Bao An Jin said, the man''s gaze unconsciously fell on Qiao Chun An''s face.


    Seeing that her cheeks were flushed and she didn''t have any intention of going forward, she tactfully rubbed her mother''s head, "Your mother is a bit shy. Besides, a man can''t be described as obedient."


    After saying this, Bo Xiuran turned around and walked to the driver''s seat so that he would not be uncomfortable.


    He had his own chauffeur, but he didn''t usually call for a chauffeur at work.


    Especially during the period when he was chasing after Qiao Chuan, he had basically driven his own car.


    "Mom, why did dad say that a man can''t be described as obedient? Just now, you said that I was obedient, do you think that I''m not a man?" Bo Anjin held onto Qiao Chunan''s arm, his bright eyes filled with questions.


    Teachers say they are good children, but Dad says good is not used to describe a man, Bo Anjin is a bit confused.


    "Because your father is no longer a child. He has become a man. You have not grown up yet. You can only describe it as being well-behaved." Qiao Chuan could only use his own understanding to make Bo Anjin understand the problem.


    As the thin Shura listened to their conversation, the gentleness in his eyes became even more apparent. Even his lips curved up in a very obvious smile.


    Tonight, Qiao Chunan had promised Old Man Bo to bring An An home for dinner.


    Yesterday, An An had caused quite a ruckus. Qiao Chunan had agreed to spend the night with her, but at the same time, he had also made Bo Anjin agree to stay with him at home for a few days.


    Thinking of his great-grandfather, Bo Anjin did not say much and agreed to the request that Qiao Chuan An make to stay with the Bo family.


    When the family of three returned to the villa, the kitchen servants were already busy.


    "Great-grandfather, I''m back!" Bo Anjin put down his schoolbag and ran over to the old man''s side.


    "You still know how to come back!" Old Man Bo hadn''t been home for the past few days. Although Bo Anjin had stayed at home for two days, he hadn''t actually seen Old Man Bo.


    Bo Anjin could be considered as someone who was raised by Old Master Bo.


    After all, Bo Xiuyi had to busy herself with work, and the only person at home to take care of Bo Anjin other than the nanny was Bo Laozi.


    Therefore, Bo Anjin''s feelings for Old Master Bo were very deep.


    "Great-grandfather, I brought my mother back for dinner." There was a complacent look on Bo Anjin''s face. Old Master Bo also kindly smiled, but did not voice any objections.


    On the other hand, Qiao Chunan was a bit shy when he heard this. However, he did not avoid the old man''s gaze.


    Old Man Bo already knew that his grandson liked Qiao Chuan. Although he didn''t realize it himself, he had seen it clearly from the sidelines.


    Now that he had caught up with Qiao Chunan, he could be considered lucky to have a grandson.


    "Chu An, did you really agree to marry my grandson?" Old Man Bo was in disbelief. His own grandson was still able to get himself such a good wife?


    "We are now male and female friends." As for what would happen in the future, that was something that would happen in the future. At the very least, their current relationship was that of a couple.


    "Of course, my mother is mine." When Bo Anjin heard this, he immediately replied, "Father, don''t you think so?!"


    Before she could understand the meaning behind Bo Anjin''s words, Old Man Bo''s question caught her off guard, "When will the wedding be held?"


    "While I still have the energy, I can advise you guys."


    When the thin cultivator heard this question, his gaze shifted to Qiao Chuan who was sitting beside him. Qiao Chun An could feel his gaze falling on him. His feet moved slightly, and his head lowered.


    His fingers slightly curled up. Undeniably, this was the intention to refuse.


    Xi Ran understood what Qiao Chuan meant and vaguely said, "There is no rush. Chu An and I are getting along. We need time to get to know each other."


    Hearing this, Qiao Chuan An heaved a sigh of relief. She had never thought about marriage.


    For her, even the relationship between a man and a woman was a stopgap.


    Old Master Bo also noticed that there was something wrong with their relationship, so he stopped talking about it.


    On the other hand, Bo Anjin was eager to give it a try when he heard about the wedding.


    "Mom, dad, if you''re having a wedding, I''m going to be a flower boy!"


    Hearing this, Qiao Chuan An could only smile helplessly. He did not reply, but also did not refute her.


    Of course, Bo Anjin took Qiao Chuan''s lack of retorts as a tacit acknowledgement that he was going to be a flower child for his parents'' wedding.


    After this matter had been brought up, the thin Xiu Lang changed the topic.


    Qiao Chunan finished his meal and chatted with Old Man Bo for a while before preparing to go home.


    This matter had already told Bo Anjin that although he was still unhappy about it, he did not cry when he agreed to his mother''s request.


    On the other hand, the thin Xiu Lan wanted to send off Qiao Chuan, but he was rejected by him.


    These days he had been very tired. Even after playing with her for two days, his face was full of fatigue. Naturally, he did not want to be given this gift.


    Joachim got into the Bo family''s car and went to his own apartment.


    But just as she was about to return to her study, she was called back by the old man.


    "Xiu Nan, what are you thinking?" Old Man Bo''s voice was filled with the heaviness of experience, and his words were very clear, "I keep feeling that your feelings for Chu An are a bit complicated."


    "Grandfather, you''re thinking too much. This is a matter between us." She did not want to discuss her feelings with her grandfather, much less analyze them with him.


    "Then when will you marry Chu An?" This time, Old Man Bo did not give any hint, and instead directly asked this question.


    He could see the feelings that she had for him. Now that he had feelings for her and was a man and a woman, why not marry a little more directly?


    "Grandfather, I have my own plans for this matter. You don''t need to ask about this matter." After saying this, the thin cultivator directly walked into the study.


    The old man looked at the fleeing figure of the thin cultivator and lightly sighed. The children had their own children and grandchildren. As an old man, he couldn''t care less.


    As for the Mentor who had returned to the study room, he was feeling somewhat conflicted.


    He wanted to marry Jojouan now, but Jojouan didn''t necessarily want to marry him.


    What''s more, he was hiding things like opinions from her. He couldn''t imagine what would happen between them if she knew about it.

 C108

    Qiao Chao An couldn''t help but smile as he thought about their day together after returning home.


    She''s had a good time these days.


    Although she was still somewhat against the occasional intimate contact with the emaciated emirate, she was no longer against the emaciated emirate.


    Especially when he talked about Shangguan Lan today, his first reaction was to explain to her that he didn''t like Shangguan Jinglan.


    Thinking about these things, Qiao Chuan slept very peacefully at night. He did not wake up often before this.


    On the morning of the second day, Qiao Zheng An opened his eyes and unconsciously looked around. Only when he didn''t see An An did he remember that An Xin was staying at the Bo household.


    After cleaning himself up, Qiao Chuan An went to work in high spirits.


    After the results of the Judicial Exam came out, Qiao Chao An directly gave his judicial certificate.


    These days, when he was working, Qiao Chun An found some deficiencies in his work. When he was free from work, he would chat about the problems he had encountered at work.


    Shao didn''t hide anything from her because she refused to work at his law firm.


    Qiao Chunan had a good impression of Shao Yishuo.


    Of course, one of the reasons was because Shao Yishuo was the brother of the thin Shura, and he also treated Qiao Chuan as a friend.


    As for Shao Yishuo, even though he had received Qiao Chunan''s question, his heart was still in turmoil. However, he did not express it out loud.


    When he brought up the issue again, Shao Yishuo directly asked Qiao Chao to help him.


    Qiao Chunan thought about how he had relied on Shao Yishuo''s help during this period, and how his proficiency had improved greatly. Thus, he did not reject this request.


    She also wanted to help Shao Yishuo do something so that she could repay the favor.


    Although it was impossible for him to pay it all back, at least it made him feel relieved.


    "Chu An, are you coming home this weekend?" On Friday, the Elementary Scholar took advantage of Jojouan''s visit to deliver the information and asked a question.


    "This weekend?" I need to help Shao Yishuo, I''m afraid I don''t have time. I told An An about this and we''ll have dinner together tonight. "


    When Xi Xiuran mentioned this question, he did not hide it and directly told her that he had something on his mind. He even told her about what happened.


    "Shao Yishuo has so many lawyers, why would he need your help?" The hand holding the pen was a little tight, and his brows were slightly knitted. He raised his head and looked at Qiao Chunan with a serious expression.


    "Actually, it can''t be considered as a help. Shao Yishuo said to bring me." Qiao Chunan had worked with Shao Yishuo before, so he knew that working with him could help him improve faster.


    Therefore, when Shao Yishuo called her over, she didn''t refuse at all.


    Other than wanting to repay this favor, there was also the thought of improving himself.


    "Oh, so it''s like that. I''ll give it to you when the time comes. It just so happens that I have something I need to talk to him about. " The thin Shuren said this with a serious face, and so did Qiao Chuan.


    After all, these two were brothers, so it was normal for them to meet and discuss things.


    As for the matter of the thin Xiu Lang going to guard against Shao Yishuo, it was impossible for him to be discovered.


    On Saturday, Shuren went to Jojouan''s apartment to pick him up and go to Shao Yishuo''s law office.


    When Shao Yishuo first found out about Qiao Chuan''s arrival, he was very happy and even had a hairstyle.


    However, when he saw the thin scholar beside Qiao Chunan, he had a complicated expression on his face.


    Of course, there were no other expressions.


    Shao Yishuo arranged a few tasks for Qiao Chunan. The thin cultivator, Lan Yifan, sat to the side and watched. He did not stop Qiao Chun An and Shao Yishuo''s conversation.


    He knew that Qiao Chun An valued his knowledge very much. Even at night, he would read and play with them.


    If she hadn''t lived with him, she probably wouldn''t have gone to bed so early.


    Several times when he went to the bathroom he could see the light coming out of her door.


    "Yishuo, can you take a look at this for me? Is it this rule? I think it could be called robbery, but it feels like theft. " Looking at the file on the table, he turned to ask the people around him.


    At this time, Shao Yishuo was still dealing with the documents in his hands. After hearing Qiao Chuan''s words, he stood up and walked over to take a look.


    The two of them moved closer to each other. Although Xiuran felt uncomfortable, Qiao Chun An did not notice that her attention was focused on the case in her hands.


    One must know that most of the things she studied were commercial crimes, so she didn''t have much contact with these kinds of civil and criminal cases.


    After all, she had entered Shanghainese Entertainment from the beginning, and then went to the GM''s Legal Department. Regarding this, the only thing she really lacked was some actual physical training.


    "This case, you''ll have to see the results of this case and some of the means by which he executed it." When Shao Yishuo mentioned the analysis of this case, his heart was somewhat restless.


    How could he not know about this as a prodigal son who had experienced this for a long time. However, Qiao Chunan wasn''t someone he could touch. He didn''t want to ruin his ten years of friendship with a woman.


    After answering this question, Shao Yishuo was called out by the thin Xiu Nun.


    The conversation between the two of them outside was not known to Qiao Chuan. She was trying hard to laugh at the information in her hands.


    She discovered that her vision was somewhat limited. If not for coming here, she would not have discovered that her gaze was limited to GM Corporation''s business disputes.


    But many of those commercial disputes were actually conventional means, and once you understood a pattern, it was easy to infer it from one to the other.


    And now, she had a myriad of cases in her hands, which made her realize her inadequacies even more.


    On the other side, Xi Shuo and Shao Yishuo arrived at Shao Yishuo''s office.


    "Xiu Nan, what are you thinking of doing here today?" "You don''t think I will do anything to him, do you?" Shao Yishuo immediately used the flower to block her way.


    When the thin cultivator heard Shao Yishuo''s answer, he only smiled and did not mention this matter. Instead, he mentioned some of the shortcomings of the law firm, Shao Yishuo.


    If he went to S City, there would be some famous firms. Although Shao Yishuo was quite famous, he still had some shortcomings towards some of the local law firms.


    "I didn''t come here to tell you this, I just wanted to tell you ¡­" He pointed out the inadequacies of Shao Yishuo''s law firm and offered his help at the same time.


    As for the matter with Qiao Chuan, he believed that Shao Yishuo knew how to choose.


    Besides, he also believed in his brother''s character.


    When Shao Yishuo heard what Jian Chen said, he couldn''t help but pout his lips. It wasn''t easy to get his eyes on someone who wanted to develop in the long run, but this person was his brother''s man.


    He knew that a brother''s wife was not to be trifled with.


    Besides, he wasn''t sure he could get past the thin one.

 C109

    He knew some of the means of the thin cultivator, he did not want to be enemies with the thin cultivator. Besides, ten years of love between them wasn''t just talk.


    After the conversation was over, the thin man said a few words to Jojouan and prepared to leave. Of course, before he left, he told Joachim that he would come pick her up when he was done with her affairs.


    "En," Qiao Chu An replied and continued with the matter at hand.


    Shao Yishuo saw that Qiao Chunan was taking this job so seriously, so he didn''t think about anything else. Instead, he explained those complicated cases to Qiao Chunan seriously.


    At the same time, he also handed the method of how to obtain evidence in some cases to Joachim.


    They were lawyers, you know, and sometimes they were hired by a criminal suspect to be the defendant''s lawyer and the prosecution''s lawyer to question them in court.


    Some sources of evidence must know how to get it.


    Qiao Chuan learned a lot of useful things from Shao Yishuo.


    Before leaving, Shao Yishuo gave Qiao Chuan some information.


    Looking at the information, Qiao Chunan was very happy. He even listened to her praise Shao Yishuo while she was picking him up.


    "Xiu Nan, you don''t know, Yi Shuo is too powerful." When he spoke of this, his eyes glowed as if he had seen his beloved.


    Seeing the look on Qiao Chuan''s face, Xiuran felt a little unwell in his heart.


    He thought that Qiao Chunan had never even seen him with such a gaze before, so he was very happy when Shao Yishuo was mentioned.


    "Look, he gave me this information. When I finish looking through it, my professional level will definitely improve by a large margin."


    Qiao Chuan could not stop talking about this matter. After a few sentences, she realized that there was no response from the people around her. At this moment, she noticed that something was wrong.


    "What''s the matter with you?" During the time Qiao Chunan and the thin cultivator were together, he rarely saw the thin cultivator like this. He was a little stunned and could not help but open his mouth to say: "Isn''t it that I have talked too much?"


    After thinking about it, Qiao Chu An could only come up with this possibility.


    To prevent Qiao Chuan An from thinking too much about it, he directly said, "I ate the wrong food. You''ve been praising my brother."


    He kept his eyes on her, and when he heard her words, his cherry mouth opened slightly, revealing his red tongue.


    After a long while, Qiao Chuan''s face turned red as he shifted his gaze from the thin shaman to the front of the car.


    Her cheeks were burning a little. She had never thought that she would be able to say something so gritty from her mouth.


    "What''s wrong? Can''t believe it? I was just listening to you praise Shao Yishuo, you don''t even know how terrible my heart feels. "


    Afraid that Qiao Chuan didn''t believe him, the thin one stopped the car. Qiao Chuan said with a serious expression, "Feel it, it''s still uncomfortable now."


    Jojouan''s hand was pulled toward his chest.


    Feeling his heart thumping, Qiao Chu An felt as if it was boiling water. He quickly retracted his hand.


    "Have you touched it? It still feels uncomfortable." The thin Xiuran looked at Qiao Chuan An''s face and couldn''t help but laugh out loud as his face turned red all the way down to his neck.


    Only when he heard her laughter did he regain his senses.


    "Are you kidding me?" Qiao Chunan''s face was slightly red. Although his voice was rather high, he did not seem angry. Instead, it gave off a charming feeling.


    "No, I''m not teasing you. I''m really sad." The emaciated Shura''s voice was somewhat low, and when he said these words, his face carried a sad expression.


    Seeing the look on her face, Qiao Chuan immediately explained. "I only admire Yishuo from the perspective of her work. I absolutely have no other intentions."


    "Don''t be sad, okay?" Qiao Chunan had never comforted anyone before, so the person who comforted him the most should be Bo Anjin.


    But the way to comfort Bo Anjin, Qiao Chuan still can''t do it.


    "You said that Shao Yishuo''s ability is particularly helpful to you, but do you think that I''m useless to you?" He knew that a proper display of weakness would help the relationship between them.


    Hearing Xiuran''s weak voice, Qiao Chuan immediately explained, "No, no. You''ve helped me so much, how can you not help me at all?"


    "You are much stronger than One Shot."


    The dissatisfaction in her heart slowly disappeared as she heard Qiao Chuan An praise her. She held him in her arms and said, "I am relieved to hear you praise me like this."


    He could feel the warmth from the shaman''s chest, and the heat that had not dissipated once again engulfed his neck.


    He pushed, but didn''t push.


    For a long time, he held her in his arms.


    It was only when the phone rang that Xi Qiushan let Qiao Chuan off.


    Seeing that the number on the phone was from Bo Anjin, Qiao Chun An hung up after saying a few words that he would pick up.


    After staying with the Bo family for a few days, Bo Anjin had been arguing about staying with Qiao Chu An. No one could persuade him otherwise, so he could only agree.


    It took Joachim a week or two to find a new apartment, not far from the company, and the rent was within her means.


    However, he had not finished moving the things, and had planned to use this weekend to move them all.


    She had come to help, of course, knowing that she was going to move, and had even offered some advice when he chose the house.


    The reason, of course, was that he wanted to live in it.


    The house that Qiao Chuan chose this time had three bedrooms and two living rooms. She had prepared her father''s room.


    Today, when Qiao Chunan went to help Shao Yishuo, Xi Shuo went to help Qiao Chunan move.


    Originally, Qiao Chun An didn''t want to help her, but he was rejected by her because he was her boyfriend.


    It was at this point that he thought of a rebuttal.


    The two of them went to the Bo family to pick up Bo Anjin. Meanwhile, Old Master Bo had already gone to chat with his old buddies.


    Qiao Chunan still hadn''t returned the rent, and now he was returning to the narrower room with Bo Anjin.


    His belongings were still there, too. Qiao Chuan looked at the room that he had lived in for more than half a year and felt some affection for it.


    He picked up Bo Anjin and thought that it would be a weekend the next day. Qiao Chunan wanted to call Bo Xiuran home to rest.


    Bo Anjin saw through Qiao Chuan''s thoughts and directly said, "Mom, why did you chase dad away? Dad has to move you tomorrow. "


    Listening to Bo Anjin''s words, Qiao Chu An felt that he had gone a little too far and stopped talking about it.


    After all, today, Bo Xiuran had helped her move to her home for an entire day. If she were to kick him out, it would be too much for her.


    Besides, there was still this thin bed in the living room. It would definitely be okay to live here.

    The thin Shuren watched as he was left behind by the words of Bo Anjin. He could not help but feel a bit stifled in his heart.


    He was relying on her to get closer to Qiao Chunan.


    But luckily, An Xin existed. Otherwise, he really wouldn''t have any other choice.


    Qiao Chuan made dinner for the father and son. After he coaxed Bo Anjin to sleep, Qiao Chuan got up and continued to look at the documents Shao Yishuo gave him.


    When he saw it in the middle of the night, he saw it and tried to stop it, but Jojouan refused.


    Thinking that the next day was the weekend, he did not stop her.


    But the next day, when he woke up, Jojouan was already making breakfast


    Seeing that Qiao Chuan had woken up so early, Bo Anjin frowned. He wanted to say something, but seeing that Qiao Chuan was in good spirits, he suppressed the words he wanted to say.


    At the end of the week, it took Jojouan and Xi Qiulong a whole day to move their things.


    After they moved to their new home, Qiao Chao An and Lin Hanyue sent it to their new home.


    At a place that Qiao Chuan An didn''t know of, the thin Xiu Nong also quietly brought his things over.


    He even took the guest room next to Qiao Chunan''s.


    As for Qiao Chunan''s room, he wanted to move in, but there was definitely no chance of that happening now.


    When he returned from the phone call, he found that the room next door had been occupied by the thin handshake.


    "Xiu Nan, are you not planning to return to your own home?" The room he rented was filled with mending items, and it made his head hurt.


    Isn''t that what cohabitation means?


    "An''an wants to live with you. As your father, I will definitely move over." It was so natural that he could not even think of a word of rejection.


    As for Bo Anjin, who was playing by the side, he also added on, "Mom and Dad and I are a family, so of course we have to live together, right, Mom?"


    Listening to Bo Anjin''s clear words, even if Qiao Chunan wanted to say no, he had no other choice.


    Otherwise, how was she going to answer Bo Anjin''s question?


    This matter was settled just like that. Bo Xiuran''s mood was exceptionally comfortable, but of course, Bo Anjin was also very happy.


    After all, he was now a child that both his parents had.


    After he was done packing, Qiao Chao An and Bo Anjin went to the nearby supermarket.


    When he chose this place, it was mostly because there were a lot of storefronts around. When he needed to buy things, it would be more convenient.


    He still had a few things to deal with.


    But it was also agreed that they would call him when they were done buying things.


    After all, as a man in the family, if his wife and children bought something, he would definitely have to go and help pay for it.


    He was living with Qiao Zheng now, it was impossible for her to be the one to spend all the money.


    Qiao Chun An brought Bo An Jin to buy some food. Originally, Qiao Chun An didn''t intend to hand over the restaurant, but when they were almost done buying things, Bo An Jin shouted for Qiao Chun An to buy him some snacks.


    At the same time, Bo Anjin called Bo Xiuran and told him to come out and pick them up.


    They had been shopping in the supermarket for almost an hour, and the things that needed to be settled were almost done.


    After bringing the two of them home, they had dinner, and then the thin Shuiren would hand over his living expenses.


    As for the salary card, he didn''t dare give it to Qiao Chuan because he was afraid that she would misunderstand his thoughts.


    "There''s a little money in this. Consider it my living expenses." When she said this, she was a little nervous, afraid that Qiao Chun An would reject her directly.


    "Are you really planning to stay here forever?" Qiao Chao An looked at the bank card on the table and frowned. He wanted to reject the card, but seeing the look of anticipation on Bo Anjin''s face, he said, "Then take An Xin along."


    Seeing that Bo Anjing wanted her father and mother to live together, Qiao Chun An didn''t reject her wholeheartedly.


    Of course, Qiao Chuan didn''t accept the money from the bank card on the table. After all, she could afford to pay for a meal.


    After dinner, Qiao Chuan An coaxed the empress to sleep and went out to the living room to read.


    She was still holding the information that Shao Yishuo had given her yesterday. The more Qiao Chunan read, the more he felt that the information was beneficial to him, to the point that he couldn''t give up.


    When he came out to pour the water, he saw Jojouan reading a book beside him.


    "Why aren''t you asleep yet?" Xiuran walked to Qiao Chuan An''s side and looked at the information in her hand. He frowned slightly. "You''ve been staying up all night. Has your body suffered?"


    "I didn''t stay up all night. I had enough sleep at your place two days ago." Qiao Zheng put down the information in his hands and pressed his forehead. His voice was gentle, but the sleepiness on his face could not be resisted.


    Dian Xiuran looked at the sleepy look on Qiao Chuan''s face and reached out his hand to touch Qiao Chuan''s face. He said with a pained heart, "You don''t have to fight like this."


    "I don''t. This is something I like." Jojouan jerked his head back, dodging the thin shaman''s hand, and prepared to return to the room.


    However, just as he stood up, he felt a bit dizzy and fell directly onto the sofa.


    When the thin cultivator saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He did not think too much and directly used his hand to cover Qiao Chun An''s waist.


    Before he could move to the side, the two of them fell onto the sofa. In order to avoid hurting him, the emaciated empress had directly placed a cushion on the sofa, using it as a human cushion.


    Although the sofa was soft, the fall was enough to knock the thin elementalist''s head down. At the same time, Qiao Chuan An pressed down on the thin elementalist''s body.


    "Xiu Nan, are you alright?" Qiao Chunan immediately wanted to crawl out from the thin elementalist''s words, but he still felt a little dizzy. Instead, he fell back onto the thin elementalist''s body.


    "It''s fine if you don''t move. If you move again, I''m not sure if anything will happen to you." With a beauty in her arms, especially if this person was the one she loved, she wasn''t sure if she would be able to do anything else.


    Hearing her words, Qiao Chuan An''s face immediately turned red, but he dared not to move recklessly.


    After resting for a while, the emirate directly carried him into the room.


    Qiao Chunan placed his head on the thin shaman''s chest. As he listened to the sound of his heart beating, he felt somewhat at ease.


    She put Qiao Chu on the bed and put her hair behind her ears. She said softly, "Don''t be so tired in the future. I will feel sorry for you."


    "Good night, good dream." After saying this, Bo Xiuran placed a kiss on Qiao Chuan An''s forehead.


    After that, he turned off the light and went out.


    After the thin shaman left, the place where the thin shaman had kissed him felt warm in his heart.


    She knew she was tempted.


    He had emphasized how many times he couldn''t move his heart, but he still hadn''t been able to control the fondness in his heart.

 C111

    On the second day, he got up. It took him a while to realize that he had moved.


    He had not expected to sleep so soundly last night.


    In the past, she would not have slept soundly for a few days even if she had gone to another place. She did not expect that she would not have slept soundly last night.


    After sitting on the bed for a while, he opened the door and left the room.


    While he was renting the house, Joachim had already planned to prepare a separate room for her.


    The boy was almost six years old and could not stay with his mother.


    As he was leaving the room, he heard sounds coming from the kitchen.


    It had to be known that he had just moved out yesterday. There were some things he hadn''t prepared yet, so at most, he could cook noodles in the kitchen.


    No one in her family was able to enter the kitchen, and as for the meniscus, it was completely ignored by Jojouan.


    She had never thought about going into the kitchen.


    "Anthea, what are you doing in the kitchen?" Bo Anjin went into the kitchen with Qiao Chunan, and Qiao Chunan subconsciously assumed that the one in the kitchen was Bo Anjin.


    Qiao Chu An was afraid that Bo Anjin would be hurt, so he walked a few steps into the kitchen. Why are you here too? "


    In the kitchen, Bo Xiuren and Bo Anjin were cooking noodles.


    Bo Anjin held the scallion in his mouth while Bo Xiufang mixed the sauce beside him.


    "Mom, you''re up. The noodles will be ready soon." When Bo Anjin heard Qiao Chuan calling out to her, he turned around and replied, "Dad said that you were tired yesterday. Today, we two men should take good care of the only lady in the family."


    "Only you would. What can you do at such a young age? "


    Although there was an expression of disapproval on his face, he was actually very happy.


    "I''m a man. There''s so much I can do." Hearing her mother belittle her, Bo Anjin was not happy. He turned to his father and said, "Dad, tell mom that I''m awesome!"


    When Qiao Chuan entered the kitchen, the emaciated empress stopped what she was doing and listened to the conversation between the two. There was a trace of gentleness in her eyes.


    "Yes, An An is amazing." Toshiba did not hesitate to praise Bo Anjin.


    When he heard that, he didn''t know what to say.


    In the past, she had played the role of praising An An. How could she turn dark in just a day?


    However, he was very happy to have someone to eat breakfast for him.


    The three of them did not chat for long in the kitchen. After they finished their breakfast, they sent her to school with Qiao Chuan.


    When Joachim was working for the company, he found that she was becoming more and more adept at the company''s matters.


    After getting the hang of it, it was inevitable that he would want to further improve his ability.


    While Qiao Chuan was dealing with the company''s matters, at around ten o''clock, Shao Yishuo called him.


    "Hello, Yishuo, is there something you need?" When Qiao Chuan saw Shao Yishuo''s phone call, he felt a little puzzled.


    You know, they hardly ever call directly.


    It wasn''t anything to avoid suspicion, the two basically contacted each other on WeChat.


    "Can''t I look for you if I''m fine?" There was a smile on Shao Yishuo''s face as he replied, "Of course not. You never looked for me before."


    "I''m not joking. I''ve applied for an opportunity to interact with a famous professor in the legal world. From Tuesday to Friday, I''ll have to see if you have the time to do so."


    Shao Yishuo didn''t say much to Qiao Chuan because he was afraid that he wouldn''t be able to control his emotions.


    If anything happened to him, not only would the relationship between Qiao Chun''an and the Persephone be affected, but he would also be far away from him.


    "I have time, I have time." Qiao Chun An was very happy to hear Shao Yishuo''s words, so he quickly agreed.


    How could she not want to go to such an opportunity with a well-known professor in the legal world?


    She already knew what opportunity Shao Yichuo was talking about, but she didn''t have any kind of guide, no matter how much she wanted to go there, she couldn''t do anything about it.


    As for asking her for help, she had never thought about it.


    Now that this opportunity was right in front of her, how could she not seize it?


    After talking to Shao Yishuo for a while, Qiao Chunan was very happy.


    After hanging up the phone, Qiao Chunan, who was in the midst of being happy, was struck down by a few words from his colleague.


    When his colleague heard that he had time, he couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows and ask, "Chu An, where did you get the time?" "I think it''s better for you to think of a way to get leave from the department head."


    Hearing his colleague''s words, the smile on his face faded.


    Of course, it wasn''t because he didn''t want to go to the dean''s office to ask for leave, but because he didn''t want to discuss this with Bo Xiuran and Bo Anjin.


    "Just pour me a bucket of cold water, I''m going to ask the Minister to take a leave of absence right now." With a smile on his face, Qiao Chuan replied to his colleague before heading to the Minister''s office.


    He told the minister that he could easily get a leave of absence.


    After all, this was a form of improvement for herself.


    But she was a little worried. She didn''t know what to say to the Persephone.


    "Chu An, sign this information with the CEO." Just as he was thinking about what he should say to the Shura, the minister placed a stack of documents on his desk.


    With a stack of documents in hand, Joachim entered the CEO''s office.


    Qiao Chunan looked at the sign of the Elementary Scholar and his lips moved a few times. However, he did not mention that he was leaving the day after tomorrow.


    "What''s wrong with you? Is there something you want to tell me? " When Qiao Chuan An came in, the thin cultivator noticed that she had a hesitant expression on her face. He wanted to see how she would be able to say it out loud.


    However, he didn''t expect that he still hadn''t said it out loud when he was about to leave.


    Was he that terrible?


    Thinking of this, the thin cultivator couldn''t help but think about his own style.


    He didn''t think he was scary at all, especially in front of her.


    "Xiu Nan, I''m going to A City from Tuesday to Friday. I''ll let you know." To a minister like her, all she had to do was ask the minister for a leave of absence, but Persephone was her boyfriend, and that sort of thing had to be said.


    After listening to Qiao Chuan An''s words, the smile on his face faded a lot.


    "Are you going with Shao Yishuo?" There was a hint of bitterness in her voice when she said this, but Joachim did not hear it.


    "That''s right, this opportunity was won over by me in a single blink of an eye." After saying this, Qiao Chu An''s tone was filled with gratitude towards Shao Yishuo.


    "I don''t have any objections to that, but if An An doesn''t see you, he will definitely make a ruckus. You can explain it to him tonight." Xiuran lowered his head and did not look at Qiao Chuan An. Instead, he started looking at the documents on the table again.


    But the document read for a long time, not even going through one.


    And when Joachim saw that he had begun to work, he did not stay to disturb him, but left with a special care.

 C112

    When Qiao Chunan left, the thin cultivator raised his head, his brows slightly knitted together. He felt a little displeased in his heart.


    He knew that Qiao Chu An didn''t have any feelings for Shao Yishuo and that Shao Yishuo would control him, but he still felt a bit unhappy.


    However, he didn''t say anything about it.


    Did he tell others that his girlfriend was on a business trip with his brother, that he was jealous?


    He couldn''t say such words out loud.


    After receiving the answer from the thin Shura, Joju thought that as long as he could make Bo Anjin happy, he would have no objections when she was away on a business trip.


    Although he couldn''t have any opinions while she was on a business trip, she really did put the thin hair Xiuran in her heart. When she was doing something, she would definitely take into account her boyfriend''s feelings.


    This was not due to a boyfriend, nor was it because she didn''t have her own opinions. It was because she treasured this relationship, so some things couldn''t be done by herself alone.


    By the time it was time to get off work, Qiao Chuan was ready to tell Bo Anjin about it.


    The two of them went to pick up Bo Anjin.


    During this time, the old man went to visit friends, Bo Anjin has been clamoring to live with Qiao Chuanan.


    Qiao Chunan was reluctant to refuse, so Bo Anjin naturally stayed with him. Naturally, the thin elementalist also came along with them.


    After receiving Bo Anjin from the kindergarten, Qiao Chuan told Bo Anjin about this matter.


    "An An, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. I will be back in a few days." When George said this, his voice was very soft.


    "Mom, are you going on a business trip with Dad? Can you take me with you? I''ll be good. " Bo Anjin pursed his lips. His face was filled with displeasure, but he did not directly make a ruckus.


    He knew that his mother did not like him to cry.


    "No, I''m going with your Uncle Shao." Qiao Chao An felt that there was nothing to hide, so he directly said it and promised, "When the time comes, bring An An An some toys."


    "I don''t want toys. Mom, take me with you. Uncle Shao definitely won''t mind." When Bo Anjin heard that his mother went with Uncle Shao, a nervous expression immediately appeared on his face.


    He wanted his mother. He didn''t want her to change his father.


    "What kind of expression is that?" Seeing the nervous expression on Bo Anjin''s face, Qiao Chu An couldn''t help but pat his head and ask with a funny face, "Don''t be so serious, child."


    Bo Anjin''s face turned sullen as he glanced at the nearby Xi Di, who glared at him. His gaze was very direct, showing that his father was not going to live up to his expectations.


    When Bo Xiuniang saw this, she only rubbed her head and did not say anything else.


    He went to see the conversation of the famous teachers in the legal field. This was something that Qiao Chao An wanted to do, so naturally, he would not stop it.


    He didn''t want to use this matter to test the fact that their relationship wasn''t too strong.


    The most important thing was that he did not want to see Qiao Chuan disappointed.


    "Then mother, you have to come back early!" I''ll miss you. If you don''t come back after a while, I''ll be a child without a mother''s pain. "


    The childish words of Bo Anjin made Qiao Chuan want to laugh, but he also solemnly promised Bo Anjin that he would return on time.


    When the three of them reached home, Qiao Chunan entered the kitchen, and the thin shaman and Bo Anjin went in to help.


    This morning Shouchuan found out that it was a great pleasure to work in the kitchen with his family.


    After the family of three finished cooking dinner, the emirate sighed with emotion.


    He had never felt such a warm atmosphere since he was young.


    Xiuran looked at Bo An Jin and Qiao Chunan with a gentle gaze. Qiao Chunan''s entire being was very gentle.


    She had never imagined a family cooking together like this.


    But now that she had done it, she felt her heart warm.


    After the three finished their dinner, they walked for a while before telling a story to Bo Anjin.


    After coaxing Bo Anjin to sleep, the two of them stood back in the living room.


    "Are you unhappy today?" He hadn''t noticed it before, but after having dinner and taking a walk, he noticed that she was talking about the displeasure on her face when she went to the Exchange tomorrow.


    "Nope." As for him being jealous, would he say that?


    Especially with Jocelyn.


    "Is it because the two of us are going to A City?" There was only one possible reason for her displeasure today.


    "Nope." The thin cultivator was stubborn and did not want to talk about this matter. Instead, he changed the topic, "Take a look and see if you have anything missing. Tomorrow you are going to A City. There are some things that need to be prepared."


    "You''re really not unhappy?" It was not that she wanted an answer, but that she found it a little strange.


    "No, let''s go. Hurry up and pack up." Xiuran sat on the other side of the sofa, his handsome face looked especially gentle under the dim light.


    Without being able to get an answer, Qiao Chuan did not hesitate. As he entered the room, he said to the thin cultivator, "I will be back earlier."


    The thin Shura looked at the closed door of Qiao Chuan An, the corners of his mouth slowly curving upwards.


    Just now, when Qiao Chuan had surrounded him and asked him if he was unhappy, he had actually felt that he was being spoiled.


    Although this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, but he still cherished this way of getting along with her.


    At the same time, he felt an involuntary panic spreading throughout his heart.


    There was no point in thinking about it. After staying outside for a while, he went back to his room.


    The next day, after Buchanan and Joachim had gone to kindergarten, they drove Joachim to the airport.


    The plane ticket was decided after Shao Yishuo told her about this matter.


    Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the airport.


    When they arrived at the airport, Shao Yishuo was already waiting for Qiao Chunan in the airport''s waiting room.


    After the three of them met, they didn''t talk for a while before Shao Yishuo took Qiao Chuan''s luggage and left for the transport.


    "Why did I send you here?" Shao Yishuo had thought that he knew a lot about the thin elementalist, but he hadn''t expected that the thin elementalist would become his wife, so Shao Yishuo was unable to accept this.


    "He''s my boyfriend. Is there anything wrong with sending me over?" Qiao Chuan raised his eyebrows with a gentle smile on his face.


    "My heart hurts! Is it really good for you to show love in front of a single dog like me? " Shao Yishuo had an extremely sunny smile on his face. As he said those words, the corner of his mouth lifted into a big smile.


    However, no one could understand the bitterness in his mouth.


    "Of course not." Qiao Chu An had a bashful smile on his face as he said this. At the same time, he teased Shao Yishuo, "As long as you want to, you can get rid of me."

 C113

    "It''s not that easy." After Shao Yishuo said this, he didn''t say anything else.


    In the past, he was a carefree person and didn''t care about these things. Now, he had someone he liked, but that person was already a brother to him.


    Qiao Chunan really did like the minuscule girl. Even though he had retained his love, he still felt a sense of desecration.


    However, Shao Yishuo was not a person who was in love with a girl. Although this kind of thing was very difficult to put down, but he also wouldn''t use this kind of thing to make himself feel uncomfortable.


    After seeing Shao Yishuo and Qiao Chuan pass the ticket check-in, it took him a while before he was able to reopen the company.


    He knew that he had fallen in love with Jojouan.


    The reluctance in his heart reached its peak as he watched Qiao Chunan and Shao Yishuo leave together.


    After the thin cultivator returned to the company, he thought about this matter from the bottom of his heart. His expression remained aloof and aloof, but the employees that entered the CEO''s office all felt that the CEO today was in a bad mood.


    Shen Lin came to the company to look for Bo Xiuran because of some business.


    After having a few words with Bo Xiuniang, he was a bit curious as to what was on his face.


    He knew very well what kind of person Bo Xiuran was.


    Killing decisively in the shopping mall was not something that could be done without any hesitation. Even when it was a difficult situation, one would not put on such an expression. On the contrary, it was a confident expression.


    In the words of the thin Shuiren, only when he showed his power would his partners believe him.


    "Xiu Nan, what happened to you?" I''ve never seen you like this before. " Shen Lin leaned back on the sofa with a teasing expression on his face. "Why doesn''t he look so confident in the past?"


    Hearing Shen Lin''s words, the thin Xiuran looked at him with a cold expression, "For a single person like you, there are some problems that you cannot understand."


    "What don''t I know?" Shen Lin straightened his body, a bitter look on his face. However, he hid it after a short while, turning his head to look at Bo Xiushan with a gossipy expression.


    "Tell me, I know a bit about relationships." In order to strengthen his credibility, Shen Lin said, "The first method you used to chase after Qiao Chuan was something that you and I thought of."


    At that time, he had noticed that the man''s attitude towards Jojouan was a little strange.


    One must know that among the two of them being able to walk together, there was also his support.


    If it weren''t for the fact that he proposed to use Bo Anjin as an opening, he might still be on his guard against Qiao Chuan.


    The thin Xiuran looked at Shen Lin with a hint of distrust. However, Shen Lin might have given a satisfactory answer to the matter of him lying to Qiao Chunan.


    Thinking like this, he asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time.


    "Shen Lin, say, if you find out that someone is hiding something very important from you, will you forgive him?" It was impossible for Xiu Nan to explain this matter in detail. After all, with Shen Lin''s brain, it would be very easy for him to guess what the other party was thinking.


    After all, many people were talking about a friend of mine, a colleague of mine. How could someone like them, who had been in the mall for a long time, not understand?


    It was all a ruse.


    When he said something like that, it was mostly because of him.


    Of course, that didn''t mean he was his friend.


    "That depends on what it is." Shen Lin turned to look at the thin Xiuran. Seeing that there was no expression on his face, he knew that it was impossible to use his expression to differentiate between the two of them. Thus, he gave his opinion.


    "Since you''ve already asked, that matter is definitely not something that can be ignored. It''s best for you to explain this to Qiao Chun An."


    "Don''t look at me with such an expression. Since it''s an emotional issue, this must be related to Qiao Chun An." Shen Lin stared at Xiuran with a cold gaze, "Could it be that you have other people?"


    He knew that Shen Lin would definitely be able to guess who that person was.


    "Come to think of it, Xiu Nan, what did you hide from Qiao Chuan An?" Shen Lin had an obvious gossipy expression on his face as he maliciously asked, "Do you need my help with this matter?"


    "How can you help? None of my own things have been done. " The expression on the face of the thin cultivator was indifferent. He knew that the matter that he had hidden from Qiao Chuan An was very serious.


    If he had known that he was the same person from five years ago, he could not believe how he would have felt about her.


    If she knew his purpose, would he be completely out of the game?


    Shen Lin sat on the sofa and looked at the colorful expression on the thin Xiu Lan''s face for the first time. Shen Lin sat on the sofa and looked at the colorful expression on the thin Xiu Lan''s face for the first time.


    "After all, the earlier you tell him, the lower the damage. If your relationship gets deeper and deeper, then the damage to Qiao Chun An will get bigger and bigger."


    Although Shen Lin had never been in a relationship before, he had clearly seen all of this.


    He believed that he would be able to see it clearly, but he was still an insider. Even if he could understand it, his state of mind was different from an outsider''s.


    As an outsider, he naturally could tell this to Qiao Chunan directly by asking Bo Xiuran to explain it to him.


    However, he had to think about what he should say, and what kind of reaction Qiao Chunan would have.


    "Xiu Nan, if you still want to be with Qiao Chun An, say it earlier. Otherwise, if you think it''s not appropriate for you to break up with him, you can come back later."


    This was the only way for Shen Lin to express his opinion.


    There was no need for him to know what Yu Di and Qiao Chun An were hiding.


    After all, that was their business.


    Don''t tell me the secret, or it won''t be a secret.


    "Plus, with how much Qiao Chunan likes Bo Anjin, there''s still a layer of bond between the two of you."


    Shen Lin''s words had crossed Xiu Nan''s mind, but after thinking about the time he and Qiao Chunan had spent together, he somehow didn''t want to break this peace and tranquility.


    "I know, thank you so much for today." In the end, he still planned to wait for Qiao Chuan An''s return before confessing the past to him.


    No matter what happened, he couldn''t keep it a secret anymore.


    Otherwise, if it really came to a point where he couldn''t salvage the situation in the future, he would cry.


    Shen Lin couldn''t help grinning when he heard what he said. "When you get married to Qiao Chuan An in the future, remember to get me some money for the matchmaking ceremony."


    Xiuran turned his head and said with a face full of ridicule, "You still lack this little money?"


    "My mind!" "It''s not a waste of my advice!" Shen Lin smiled and replied, "This is a matchmaker, I definitely have to pay for the matchmaker''s money."

 C114

    After chatting for a bit, Shen Lin left.


    However, before he left, he emphasized to the thin cultivator, "There are some things that should be done sooner rather than later. Otherwise, once the suppuration from the wound becomes terminal, there will be no hope for it."


    Shen Lin was quite sensitive on this aspect. He knew that what Bo Xiu Yin hid from Qiao Chun An was definitely not a small matter.


    Otherwise, why would the people who killed in the past be so preoccupied with their own matters?


    After Shen Lin left, he began to work on the documents that he had not finished reading.


    After his conversation with Shen Lin, the courage he had built up within him vanished completely by the time he finished reading the documents in his hands.


    Dian Xiuran was a smart person, his EQ was also online, how could he not have thought about this before?


    However, thinking about it and being able to do it were two different things.


    Plus, not many people knew about it, and he wondered what it would be like if he could keep it a secret.


    Could he hide it for the rest of his life?


    Unbeknownst to him, Shura had already planned for the rest of his life.


    Of course, Qiao Chun An didn''t know about this. She was still chatting with Shao Yishuo on the plane.


    When they got off the plane, the two of them went to the meeting place.


    After putting down his luggage and taking a short break, Shao Yishuo brought Qiao Chunan to the exchange meeting of the famous professor.


    Shao Yishuo was very famous in the legal world, and even he was held in high regard by others.


    Qiao Chunan followed behind Shao Yishuo, not showing any sign of cowardice. He even proposed a development method that would make people''s eyes light up.


    Shao Yishuo watched as Qiao Chunan slowly chatted with the others and couldn''t help but smile. He turned around and started to chat with the people he used to know.


    After one day, Qiao Chuan felt that he had grown a lot. At least, his perspective had broadened.


    Shao Yishuo had also witnessed Qiao Chu An''s growth. He felt a bit sour in his heart, but at the same time, he also felt happy that Qiao Chu An was able to make such progress.


    In the evening, Shao invited Qiao Chu An out for dinner.


    After some thought, Qiao Chu An agreed.


    However, while he was ordering, Jojouan''s phone rang.


    Looking at the name on the phone, the look in Qiao Chuan''s eyes softened. Shao Yishuo could clearly see the scene on the side.


    A trace of sadness flashed past his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.


    At the same time, he also started to order his dishes.


    He already had an idea of what kind of taste Jojouan liked. He had probably known about it when he had hosted him on a business trip abroad.


    "An An, did you listen to the teacher in school today?" Qiao Chunan''s expression was very gentle as he spoke. His voice was also very gentle.


    "I''m very obedient. Mom, when will you be back?" Bo Anjin held his phone, looking at his father who was sitting beside him, seriously listening to his own call. He felt a little unhappy.


    His father was so useless.


    He actually didn''t even dare to call his mother.


    "I still have two more days. It''ll be quick." While Qiao Chuan was speaking, Shao Yishuo had already chosen the menu.


    Qiao Chuan An looked at the menu and directly agreed. The smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest.


    When Shao Yishuo saw Qiao Chunan''s expression, he felt somewhat depressed in his heart.


    However, such feelings could not be revealed to the public.


    "Mommy, Mommy, are those professors old grandpas with white hair and green clothes and big glasses? That''s the way I watch my professor on TV. "


    Hearing Bo Anjin''s words, Qiao Chun An recalled that they had watched a show together, in which there was a very reasonable old grandpa.


    That old grandpa is a learned professor.


    He wore green clothes, large glasses, and a head full of white hair.


    The corners of Qiao Chuan''s lips curled up and his voice was as gentle as the spring water in a mountain, "That''s not true. The professors are also ordinary people. They are only slightly better than others in a certain field, so they are not that exaggerated."


    "An An, don''t you remember that your great-grandfather is also a professor?" Qiao Chunan knew a little about Old Man Bo.


    When Bo Anjin heard this, he pondered for a moment. However, he was unable to find the answer to this question from his memory.


    "So great-grandfather is also a professor." Although Bo Anjin did not know, but this did not prevent him from worshipping the professor.


    In that early childhood program, Bo Anjin''s favorite was the professor who knew a lot.


    After chatting with Bo Anjin for over 10 minutes, the dishes in the restaurant had already been served.


    "An An, I''m almost done eating here. I''ll call you after dinner."


    It was originally very impolite to call people when he came out to eat. Although he was very familiar with Shao Yishuo, there were still some things that couldn''t be done too casually.


    At the very least, he couldn''t be so reckless just because he was a friend.


    "Okay then, Mom, remember to call me when you get back." Bo Anjin reluctantly hung up the phone.


    After seeing that Bo Anjin had hung up the phone, the Siren''s gaze shifted to his face.


    "Daddy, don''t look at me. Mommy didn''t say to call you."


    At this time in Bo Anjin''s room, he wanted to let Bo Anjin talk about him.


    However, Bo Anjin didn''t mention anything about him. Instead, he mocked his father.


    Hearing her son''s words and looking at her son''s disappointing eyes, the thin Shura felt as if his breath was stuck in his chest.


    On the other side, after Qiao Chuan hung up, he apologized to Shao Yishuo.


    "Yishuo, I''m very sorry. I talked to you on the phone for so long right after we came out for dinner."


    Shao Yishuo raised his eyebrows, his expression didn''t show the slightest bit of oddity. Instead, he openly looked at Qiao Chunan, his tone carrying a teasing tone, "What''s wrong?" Anthea called you? "


    The few of them all knew about An Xin''s relationship with Qiao Chuan.


    Sometimes, Shao Yishuo even thought to himself, how come I don''t have a son that I can help with?


    "That''s right. An Xin was in a rather bad mood a while ago. She has been sticking close to others recently." When he talked about Bo Anjin, he could see a gentle glow on Qiao Chuan''s body. At the corners of his eyes, he could see his mother''s concern and love for him.


    Shao Yishuo couldn''t wait to scratch the wall when he saw Qiao Chuan like this. How come he didn''t have such a obedient son!


    Everyone thought it was very strange when they found out that Bo Xiushan had a child. Although they didn''t say anything, they still decided that it was inconceivable that Bo Xiushan would allow someone else to give him a child.


    Who would have thought that An An would be able to become his father''s godly assistant?


    Not every woman wants to be a stepmother, you know.


    Especially young women who don''t want to raise their children directly.


    It was largely because of Bo Anjin that he was able to be with her.


    Although he had a certain degree of liking for the thin elementalist, without him there was no telling how many years he would have to wait.

 C115

    As the younger brother of the protector, how could Shao Yishuo not understand the protector?


    However, no matter how upset he was, he definitely wouldn''t do something like snatching his brother''s wife.


    "I''ve never seen An An so attached to someone." Shao Yishuo wasn''t lying. In the past, there were many people who wanted to get close to him through Bo Anjin.


    For those people''s gifts, Bo Anjin would accept them, but he had never seen anyone that he was closer to.


    They all said that Bo Anjin was a little imp. They clearly knew that they were using him to get close to their father, but not only did they not object, they even took out their father from time to time to earn some snacks.


    Of course, they had asked about Bo Anjin''s actions before.


    He said that since those people wanted to be his mother, he wouldn''t take too much from them.


    When he heard Bao Anjin''s tight-lipped face saying these words in a very serious manner, it almost made him and Shen Lin go crazy from laughter.


    He was very fond of his son and did not strike a blow to his enthusiasm.


    Otherwise, Duan Wan wouldn''t have been able to leave the Bo family villa.


    "This is probably fate between us." He did not know what to say, so he could only push this matter away.


    The first time she met Bo Anjin, she felt very close.


    As they spent more and more time together, she also began to like An Ran more and more.


    He even unknowingly thought of himself as An Xin''s mother.


    None of this was due to the fact that Bo Anjin was the son of Bo Xiuyan.


    On the contrary, she was able to slowly accept the thin siren because the thin siren was Bo Anjin''s father.


    Those who knew of their love for each other were very clear on this point.


    Just like the thin shaman, he was also very clear on this matter.


    It was because he knew about this that he did not dare to say that he was that person.


    In the past, he only had possessive desires for Qiao Chunan. He even wanted to see her face after knowing the truth, but now, he did not want Qiao Chunan to know the truth.


    He even wanted to erase what he had done before.


    However, it was just a simple thought. Not to mention that five years had passed since that incident, even Bo Anjin was a living proof of it. No matter what, this matter could not be treated as if it had never happened.


    After dinner, Qiao Chuan and Shao Yishuo returned to the hotel together.


    The exchange that they were participating in was in the living room below the hotel. It was also convenient for those who were participating in the banquet to find a place to rest.


    After returning to his room, Qiao Chunan tidied up the things he had learned that day and called Bo Anjin.


    When she promised her child, she would not break off the engagement unless she was forced to.


    After all, he was teaching his children to keep their promises.


    "Hey, Mom, you finally called me. I''m almost asleep." As soon as he called, he was picked up on the other side.


    At the same time, the soft voice of Bo Anjin could be heard.


    "You''re tired? I''ll call you tomorrow. " After saying this, Qiao Chunan stood up. Looking at the bright moon outside the window, he suddenly had the urge to go home and coax An Xin to sleep.


    An''an really gave Qiao Chuan a sense of home.


    It was no wonder that many divorce cases where a woman could endure for so long were due to the existence of a child.


    She did not judge whether those people had made the right choice or the wrong choice, but the idea of cutting through thorns and thorns for her child was something she had never understood before, and now she could understand it.


    "Daddy, you squeezed me." Just as Qiao Chunan was about to call Bo Anjin to sleep, he heard him grumbling from the other side.


    "Mom, look at dad. He won''t call you himself, so he''s right next to me, listening to us talk. Say a few words to him now. "


    There was a hint of complaint in Bo Anjin''s voice. However, he also felt pity for his father as he handed the phone over to him.


    Qiao Chunan had not seen the scene on the other side, but he could somehow imagine it.


    Thinking of that scene, Qiao Chunan laughed.


    At the same time, a clear voice came from the other side, "Chu An, are you used to this in A City?" How was your harvest today? "


    When he received the phone call from his son, he was prepared to say a few words.


    "It''s pretty good. I feel like my knowledge has increased a lot when I communicate with them." He chose one or two things to talk about during the exchange.


    However, he did not speak for long before he said directly, "Xiu Nai, An An said that he is a little tired. You should bring him to bed first."


    "Mom, I''m not sleepy. I just wanted to tell you that I''ve been waiting for a long time." When Bo Anjin heard Qiao Chuan mention him, he immediately said, "Mom, you don''t even know, dad just scolded me, saying that you only called me and didn''t call him."


    "How could I be mean to you?" After hearing this, Bo Xiuniang didn''t even think about rebutting. At most, his face would be a bit unpleasant, but there was definitely no fierce child.


    "How are you not? The way you looked at me scared me." Bo Anjin looked up with a face full of pride, "Just like now, mom, now that dad has you, won''t he love me?"


    At the bottom of Bo Anjin''s heart, he was a little worried. However, it was not that he was worried that his father would not want him, but rather that his mother would really like him.


    Although there were many thoughts in his mind, the most important one was still his mother.


    "Of course not. Anxiety is the most important thing in my heart." Qiao Chuan heard the conversation. The smile on his face was very obvious, and his voice was gentle. "Then let''s ignore your father now. It''s just the two of us, okay?"


    "Then no." When Bo Anjin heard that his mother regarded him as the most important person, he was very happy. He looked at his father and whispered, "Father is so pitiful. Mother, you can still take care of father."


    As he listened to the two of them talk, he felt a dark cloud over his head. When had he felt pity for them?


    Why didn''t he know?


    "Alright then, I''ll listen to An Xin." Qiao Chunan had never thought that Bo Xiuniang would be jealous of a child like Bo Anjin. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.


    "It''s already very late, An An An needs to go to bed early." Seeing that it was already nine o''clock, Qiao Chunan said a few words to Bo Anjin and was about to hang up.


    After seeing Bo Anjin bid farewell to Qiao Chuan An, he hung up the phone.


    He couldn''t help but be stunned. He hadn''t even said a few words before hanging up?

 C116

    After hanging up the phone, Bo Anjin looked at Xiu Nan, who was standing beside him. He curled his lips and said with a disappointed tone, "Dad, you can call Mom yourself!"


    Asking him for everything, he had to put in a lot of effort, okay?


    Being stared at in such a manner by Bo Anjin made her both angry and amused.


    "You little rascal, all you know is to talk about your father." The empress rubbed Bo Anjin''s head, tucked him in, and left the room with her cell phone.


    Outside the room, the thin shaman really had a headache.


    He truly felt that he had no status. He was also the CEO of a large company, how did he become like this?


    Just as he was thinking about calling Joachim, he received a call from him.


    "Hey, Chu An, I thought you were going to ignore me like you said to An An." After saying this, Bo Xiuniang felt like he was in a hurry to answer Qiao Chun An''s call.


    "Then An An said that you were so pitiful, I still have to pay attention to you when you call me that." When he said this, there was a slight smile on his face from the corner of his eyes.


    "Are you just going to listen to An An''s words?" When she said this, the bitterness in her tone was clear.


    "You really are jealous of your son." At the words of the emirate, he found them funny.


    Hearing the laughter coming from the other side, the expression in the thin cultivator''s eyes became much gentler. "You are with me. Is it because of An''an?"


    He could not answer the question.


    Even though the only reason he had agreed to it was because An''an had always been by his side, it would have made him sad if she hadn''t agreed. There was no way for him to refuse her.


    But in fact, she had some feelings for him.


    "You don''t need to answer. I know that." After pausing for a moment, she continued, "Do you think I should be jealous of this?"


    Shuren found a very good reason for her jealous behavior.


    Hearing that, Qiao Chu An did not know how to reply.


    The two chatted for a while. The thin Xiuran didn''t want to disturb Qiao Chuan''s rest. Although he was a bit reluctant, he still hung up the phone.


    Qiao Chuanan obediently hung up the phone.


    In the following two days, Qiao Chun An became more and more adept at this exchange. As he chatted with the experts of the legal world, he became more and more confident.


    Every night for the next two days, Bo Anjin would call him every day.


    Of course, Bo Xiuran, like that day, was still rubbing against the phone of Bo Anjin.


    As the family of three chatted, it could be seen that their relationship was very good.


    Just before the end of this trip, Shao Yishuo once again invited Qiao Chun An out for a meal and to take a look at the night scenery of A City.


    Qiao Chunan thought about his promise of Bo Anjin''s gift, but he did not decline and directly followed Shao Yishuo out.


    Not long after the two of them left, a call from Bo Anjin arrived.


    "Mom, mom, are you coming back tomorrow?" There was joy in Bo Anjin''s voice, and Qiao Chuan was very happy to hear it.


    "Yeah, I''ll be back tomorrow."


    The two sat in the car as Shao Yishuo listened to Qiao Chuan''s phone conversation with Bo Anjin and Bi Xiuran. In his heart, he was forcing himself to disappear due to his fondness for Qiao Chuan.


    As far as he was concerned, Qiao Chuan An already had a steady relationship with him. If he liked him, it would only be troublesome.


    Furthermore, during this period of interaction, he was envious of the relationship between Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin.


    After all, he couldn''t possibly rob his brother''s girlfriend in the first place.


    Shao Yishuo slowly relaxed. After he saw Qiao Chuan hang up the phone, he couldn''t help but tease, "We came out twice and you fed me dog food twice. You really are a raw producer of dog food!"


    Hearing Shao Yishuo''s teasing, there was a smile on Qiao Chu An''s face, but he did not refute him.


    She had never thought that she would have such a relationship with Bo Xiuniang, but she would not refute what had already happened.


    "I never thought that Xiu Nong would be the first to find a girlfriend between us." After Shao Yishuo had suppressed his feelings for Qiao Chuan, he shifted the topic to the thin Xiuran.


    "I never thought I''d be with him." When Qiao Chunan said this, he was very straightforward. However, the happy smile on his face made people dazzled.


    She had never thought that she would ever find someone. She thought that she would be alone for the rest of her life.


    The goal for her survival was to take revenge on the Gu Clan and the Su Clan.


    She had once minded the sudden appearance of someone else in her life, but in the end she had still included him in her plans for the future.


    Although it was a bit sudden, since there was already a person here, she wouldn''t push him away.


    The two of them got out of the car. Shao Yishuo looked at Qiao Chunan through the lights of the street. With a faint smile on his face, it was easy to be captivated by him.


    Chuckling, Shao Yishuo turned around and led Qiao Chu An to a restaurant.


    Although this relationship hadn''t started to end yet, he would still remember that he once liked a person and had a feeling of being moved.


    Qiao Chunan didn''t know what Shao Yishuo was thinking, he just felt that he was looking at him with a nostalgic look.


    After some thought, he felt that he had seen wrongly, so he put this matter to the back of his mind.


    The restaurant that Shao Yishuo brought Qiao Chuan to was in a better environment. There was a shopping mall nearby.


    After they finished their dinner, Qiao Chuan went to the mall and bought some toys for Bo Anjin.


    Shao Yishuo also left with Qiao Chuan.


    After all, letting a woman shop outside at night was not safe.


    After Shao Yishuo had put down his share, he considered Qiao Chuan a friend.


    Originally, Qiao Chuan An''s personality was quite gentle. Being friends with her made him feel like he was being taken care of.


    Although Shao didn''t need to be taken care of, he still enjoyed the feeling.


    People in their circle rarely had real friends.


    Everyone had their fair share of face. When there were benefits, everyone would earn money, and when there was danger, everyone would split up and go their separate ways.


    This was the most common occurrence for them.


    There were a lot of dirty things in every circle, and there were very few people who knew about the worldly matters and didn''t know about the matters of the world.


    It just so happened that Qiao Chuan An was such a person.


    She knew about the dirty things in this circle, but she also had a good attitude towards those she met.


    This kind of thing might seem silly to others, but to people like them, who have lived in mud ponds for a long time, they would know how serious this quality was.


    It was just as the old saying went, it was easy to add flowers to a flower, but difficult to provide coal in the midst of snow.


    Shao Yishuo followed Qiao Chuan around the children''s area and had several toys in his hands. However, he didn''t see one that was bought by the thin cultivator, so he couldn''t help but ask, "Did you buy all these for An An? Didn''t you buy some from Xiu Nan? "

 C117

    "Him? I can''t afford anything for him. " When he said this, it was purely a joke.


    Shao Yishuo also saw through it and stopped talking about this matter.


    The emollients'' items were basically custom-made, and they were rarely bought in this kind of shopping mall.


    If he bought it, it would be difficult for him to use it or not.


    If she used it, it would mean that Persephone really liked her. But even if he really did like her, she didn''t want anyone to see that he used those things.


    If he didn''t use it, it was inevitable that he would think about it.


    Of course, the most important thing was that no matter what it was, she didn''t have that much money to spend.


    After all, although giving gifts valued her heart, she couldn''t give them things that were too cheap. It would be better to give something that cost her own effort.


    Qiao Chu An bought some puzzle pieces for Bo Anjin and then went back to the hotel with Shao Yishuo.


    However, before he left the shopping mall, he brought some local specialties with him.


    She was afraid that if she didn''t bring anything with her, that Shuren Mina would definitely be jealous of her.


    He really didn''t know how a grown man could be so jealous.


    However, when he thought of this, the smile on his face was very obvious.


    Shao Yishuo, who was standing beside Qiao Chuan, saw that he was overjoyed because of his poor cultivation and completely suppressed the emotions in his heart.


    In the few days that Qiao Chuan had been out with Shao Yishuo, he had truly treated Shao Yishuo as a friend.


    In the past when he was with Shao Yishuo, apart from his outstanding ability, the most important thing was that he was also a good friend of the Lan Shuo. But now, she also truly considered Shao Yishuo a friend.


    The next day, Joachim flew back to S City.


    He already knew when the flight would be, but he wondered if he should pick it up.


    Although it had only been a few days, it felt like a long time.


    Because the next day was a weekend, Bo Anjin did not go to school. Instead, he woke up early in the morning.


    "Dad, why aren''t you done cleaning up yet? We need to hurry up and pick up Mom." Bo Anjin also knew from yesterday''s phone that his mother would be at the airport this morning, so he kept arguing about picking her up at the airport.


    However, his father didn''t move at all, which infuriated Bo Anjin.


    "Dad, are you going to the airport or not?" Bo Anjin''s face tightened up. He was afraid that if he wasn''t careful, his mother would have disappeared.


    "Kids shouldn''t keep a straight face." After a long moment of hesitation, she decided to go and fetch Qiao Chun An.


    There was no doubt that he wanted to see her.


    As for the other things, we''ll talk about them later.


    "Then hurry up, I''m going to pick up Mom!" Seeing that her father had finally made a move, Bo Anjin continued to urge him.


    "Your mother''s plane isn''t that fast. What are you in such a hurry for?" Although he told her not to worry, he was also eager to see Qiao Chun An.


    Of course, Bo Anjin was still young at this time, so he couldn''t understand the hidden feelings of the Bian Xiuran.


    The two of them arrived at the airport. When they saw that there was still half an hour before the flight time was up, they became a little listless.


    Even though there was no one urging him on, the mini repair car didn''t budge at all.


    Half an hour later, Qiao Chunan and Shao Yishuo finally came out of the passageway.


    When Qiao Chuan came out from the passageway, he saw a young and a old man waiting for him at the side.


    Seeing them, the smile on Qiao Chuan''s face was very bright.


    When Bo Anjin saw Qiao Chuan, he too waved his arm. However, there was no expression on his face. However, there was a burning look in his eyes as he looked at Qiao Chuan An.


    Not long after, Qiao Chunan arrived at the side of Bo Xiuran and Bo Anjin.


    "Xiu Nan, I didn''t expect that you would come to pick up the plane one day." When Shao Yishuo saw him, he patted him on the shoulder with a mocking smile on his face.


    "Alright, I won''t disturb your family of three anymore. I''ll be leaving now." Shao Yishuo took his luggage, waved his hand at Qiao Chunan, told Shao Yishuo, and walked to the other side.


    Before he could say anything, all he could see was Shao Yishuo''s back.


    With a helpless smile, he followed the thin Shura toward the place where he parked the car.


    "Mom, mom, is it fun to go out this time?" Qiao Chunan held on to Bo Anjin''s hand and the two of them walked while whispering to each other.


    Sheehan pushed Joachim''s suitcase behind him.


    When they arrived at the parking lot, Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin were seated in the back row, chatting about the trivial matters they had spent the past few days in.


    "You guys call me every day at night, why is there so much to say?" He felt that he had been ignored and could not help but open his mouth to look for existence.


    "This is a little secret between mom and me. Dad, hurry up and drive." Before he could reply, Bo Anjin had already spoken.


    Hearing this, Qiao Zheng An smiled helplessly.


    With a smirk on his face, he said, "So I''m the driver of both of you now?"


    When Qiao Chuan heard this, his thoughts became a little unfocused. All the attention was focused on the mother and son, and he felt some joy in his heart.


    "Daddy, it''s good that you know this. Hurry up and drive." Bo Anjin did not know how to restrain himself. In any case, he was his father.


    Without further hesitation, he turned around and went to the driver''s seat.


    The mother and son duo continued to chat behind them.


    "Mom, you don''t know. These few days, Dad has been urging me to call you, and he has been listening to us talk." The topic of conversation had unknowingly shifted to this.


    This was something that Qiao Chun An knew.


    He had thought that it would only be the first day, but he didn''t expect that Xi Qiulin would be beside him for the next few days.


    Every night, after she had called Anthea, she would call the Perseus.


    "Then don''t you want to talk to me?" Qiao Chu An smiled and rubbed Bo Anjin''s head, his expression was especially gentle.


    When Bo Anjin heard Qiao Chuan An''s words, he immediately retorted, "I think so. Otherwise, Daddy wouldn''t be able to move me."


    When Bo Anjin said those words, he raised his head with a very complacent expression on his face.


    "But Daddy misses you too."


    As Bo Anjin said this, he looked at Qiao Chunan with his round eyes and noticed that his mother''s face was flushed red. He was very happy.


    He felt that it wouldn''t be long before his mother would be able to stay at the Bo house.


    Then they could live together forever.


    He didn''t have to have to go home every time to live with his mother.


    He liked his mother, but he also wanted to be with his father and great-grandfather.


    Qiao Chao An was unaware of what was on Bo Anjin''s mind. If he knew, his heart would probably soften even more.

 C118

    After all, a child who knew how to love others was also very painful.


    Seated in the driver''s seat, he also heard what Bo Anjin had to say.


    Listening to the mother and son pair''s words, the gentleness in Jian Chen''s eyes became more and more obvious. The cold expression he had on his face was completely unable to be expressed by the two people behind him.


    The family of three went to the restaurant they frequented.


    He had enjoyed his meal.


    When he got home, he took out everything he had bought.


    "Mom, you bought me so many toys." Bo Anjin''s eyes were wide open as he looked at what he had taken out of his mother''s suitcase.


    Although the people who wanted to be his mother used to buy toys for him, he did not like them too much. He just accepted them based on the principle of not wasting anything.


    However, he was very fond of the toys that Qiao Chuan An bought for him.


    The thin Shura sat on the sofa and saw Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin taking out one toy after another. His eyes flashed with a ghostly light as he waited for Qiao Chunan to buy him something.


    However, when Qiao Chunan finished rummaging through his luggage and still found nothing of his own, he could not help but feel his face darken.


    After being happy for a while, Bo Anjing finally reacted to her father''s unhappiness.


    He didn''t need to think to know why his father was unhappy.


    After all, he had received a gift from his mother, but his father had not.


    Mom really liked him the most.


    "Mom, didn''t you buy Dad a present? You see, Daddy is not happy. " As soon as Bo Anjin finished speaking, Qiao Chao An''s gaze turned to the thin Xiu Lun''s face.


    Although he tried his best to hide his black face, it was useless. It was obvious that he wasn''t very happy.


    "Xiu Nan, I don''t know what you like so I didn''t buy it. You don''t mind, do you?" There was a light smile on Qiao Chuan''s face, and his heart heated up.


    Can he say he cares?


    He could only say that he didn''t mind at all!


    "I don''t mind." Bo Xiuniang shook her head. The unsightly expression on her face was much better, but she still felt a bit unhappy.


    "I specifically bought some of City A''s specialties for you. I''ll make some for you guys to eat when the time comes." After thinking for a moment, Qiao Chu An added.


    After the toys were removed, Bo Anjin was also a little tired. Thus, Qiao Chunan coaxed Bo Anjin into going to sleep.


    After coaxing Bo Anjin to sleep, when Qiao Chun An came out, he met the thin manicured young man sitting on the sofa in the living room.


    "Chu An, how have you been these past few days?" While Bo Xiu Nan was asking this, his gaze was fixed on Qiao Chun An. His gaze was burning, causing Qiao Chun An''s face to turn slightly red.


    Hearing the question, Qiao Chuan An sat down beside her and began to talk about the interesting things that had happened in the past few days.


    Although there were calls every night, there were some things that could not be explained through the phone.


    As Qiao Chuan spoke of these things, his eyes lit up and his words were filled with admiration for the words and actions of the professors.


    Listening to Qiao Chuan An''s words, Xiuran felt some pressure, and even some worry, but most of them were happy for her.


    To be able to do what he liked was already something worth being happy about.


    The Shuren girl listened to him and unconsciously wrapped her arms around his waist. By the time he could react, the Shuren girl had already turned her head towards him and was pressing her lips against his face.


    "Don''t move, let me hug you." Jojouan heard the word and obediently listened to it.


    Although there were still some people who didn''t like being in intimate contact with her, but since she was her boyfriend, Qiao Chunan didn''t refuse.


    He knew that there were some things he could not do before he gained the full trust of Jocelyn.


    The two of them did not talk for long before Qiao Chunan went to bed.


    The next day was the weekend, so he rested for a day inside the house, consolidating what he had learnt a few days ago.


    Lan also stayed home, while Feng Anjin stayed in the living room to play with her toys.


    The family of three truly felt at home.


    On Monday, he went to work.


    When he arrived at the office, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.


    However, Qiao Chu An didn''t think too much about it. He just thought that the company had more things to do during the days he was on leave.


    Of course, it was just as George thought, the company had a lot more things to do.


    It was exactly because of this that the people in the office were very unhappy with Qiao Chuan''s decision to take a few days leave.


    Although the company''s matters were divided among everyone, the salary was also determined by these points. However, if one person applied for leave, then the matters that were assigned to her would definitely be handed over to others.


    GM had a lot of things to do in the first place. For someone like Qiao Chuan, who had applied for a few days of leave, there would naturally be some people in the department who did not like it.


    After it was time to start work, everyone was busy with their own work and did not talk too much about it.


    However, when Qiao Chuan An went to drink tea, he heard the voice of someone from his office.


    "Do you think Qiao Chunan came in as the CEO?"


    "How should I know about this? I just heard from the people at Shanghua Entertainment that the relationship between the CEO and Qiao Chun An is very deep."


    "Is that so? I really didn''t see that kind of person. "


    "It''s said that she doesn''t know the face of others, how would you know what kind of person she is? "Besides, when she entered our department, she did not even get a certificate. If not for relying on others, how could she have entered here?"


    After all, GM is a large company, and our department''s staff are all top students with several years of experience. A person who has just returned from a short period of time and has worked in Shanghua Entertainment for more than half a year without taking any examinations would not be able to enter. "


    "Alright, let''s not talk about this anymore. I remember that when Qiao Chunan first went to Shanghua Entertainment, someone behind her back said that she came here to take the unwritten rules. At that time, Shanghua Entertainment expelled several people."


    "Alright, alright, I won''t say anymore. I have a lot of things to do, so I have to hurry up and do them. I have to blame Qiao Chu An for taking a leave of absence these few days."


    As the sounds of the conversation faded away, George came out from the corner next to the tea room.


    The hand holding the cup was pinched until it turned white.


    She still had some impression of her colleague talking about Shanghua Entertainment, and that was when she had her most difficult time.


    Not long after returning home, Su Ran had slandered her for hugging her thigh, as she met the head of the Night Meeting.


    The news was later suppressed with the help of Shuriken, and the company''s colleagues were not talking about it.


    At the time, she didn''t know that the company was put down for her.


    When he thought of the thin Xiu Lan, Qiao Chuan''s face finally changed.

 C119

    She wasn''t the same person who had just returned. After half a year of hard work, even though she still minded his words, it was normal for her to oppose him in the workplace.


    Her mind was already slowly becoming stronger as she polished them.


    After covering up his unsightly expression, Qiao Chao An took the water and left for his office.


    When he was about to go back with the water, he bumped into the colleague who had just been talking to him about her. When the colleague saw him walk out of the tea room, a look of shock flashed across his face.


    Qiao Chuan did not care about this. Instead, he returned to his seat with a calm expression.


    There were a lot of things that needed to be done at work, so Qiao Chunan was very busy. He had no mood to pay attention to the slanderous slandering that others had done to her. At the same time, he was also thinking about his future.


    She didn''t think she would get any promotion at GM anymore, but because she was here, and she was the one who helped when she returned home.


    Regardless of whether it was a relationship between a man and a woman, she still had some feelings for the GM company.


    As he was delivering the documents to her for her signature, she noticed that something was wrong with his face.


    "What''s wrong with you? Has he been bullied? " The pen in Bo Xiuniang''s hand was heavy. She was upset that someone might have bullied Qiao Chunan in her company.


    "Nope." Qiao Chunan raised his head and looked at the slightly angry expression on the face of Xi Xiuran. After thinking for a bit, he knew where his brain had gone, "I wasn''t bullied. I was just told that I relied on you to enter the company."


    The kind of people who said bad things about her behind her back didn''t mean much of a bully.


    Qiao Qiuan directly told her what had happened. She was afraid that if she didn''t tell him what had happened, she would think more about it.


    "Is this not bullying?" "Then do you need to change your job?"


    "No need, I''m fine here." Jojouan had not promised to change jobs. She liked to use the law to solve the problem.


    Right now, the GM company was doing pretty well, with the exception of a few talkative people.


    The thin one knew that Qiao Chuan An would not leave, so he did not speak of it.


    "If you get bullied, then tell me, this company is mine, it doesn''t make sense for you to be bullied here." The words of the thin cultivator elder were very overbearing.


    Jojouan''s heart warmed when he heard her say so.


    The feeling of having someone to protect him was truly good.


    The two of them did not talk about this matter, and instead talked about going to pick up Bo Anjin from school later.


    After Qiao Chunan entered the office, the lady who had said bad things about him in the tea room saw that he was not at her desk, so she asked her colleagues.


    After knowing that Qiao Chuan An went to the CEO''s office, that female colleague''s face became very ugly.


    She thought he was going in to sue her.


    It was her who spread the rumours that Qiao Chunan was so arrogant due to his position as the CEO.


    Knowing that Qiao Chuan An went to the CEO''s office, he felt a little guilty, but at the same time, anger rose at the same time.


    After finishing his conversation with Bo Anjin, Qiao Chunan left the office and returned to his desk.


    Not long after he sat down, the person who had spoken ill of him in the tea room came over.


    "Qiao Chuan, where did you go?" The one who spoke ill of others was called Zhuang Li. She was dressed in a suit and looked especially overbearing.


    Qiao Chun An was busy with this matter, and upon hearing the voice, he unconsciously frowned. He raised his head and looked at the denouncing person in front of him. His tone was flat, but it was clear from Zhuang Li''s ears that Qiao Chun An looked down on her.


    "Zhuang Li, I don''t need you to report where I''ve gone to." Joachim''s face was not ugly, but it was not pretty either.


    It was already good enough that no one would dare to talk to her like that, even if they didn''t want to get even with other people. However, it was better not to think too much about it.


    "Did you just go to the CEO''s office?" Zhuang Li''s voice was not concealed at all, and everyone in the office had the same thought as Zhuang Li.


    They knew that he was relying on the CEO to get in. They weren''t very clear on their relationship, but they were definitely a lot closer than ordinary employees like them.


    "What does it matter to you where I go?" When Qiao Chu An saw Zhuang Li''s overbearing appearance, the anger within his heart was ignited. However, his words were not intense.


    She did not want to make things difficult for her.


    Zhuang Li didn''t want to argue with Qiao Chunan, so she went straight to the point, "Did you just report it to the CEO?"


    "Do you have any reports that are worth my writing about?" Qiao Chuan An put down the pen in his hand and stood up. He pointed to the corridor and said with a calm tone, "Now, get out of here."


    "I don''t have any reports worth beating, but you can slander me." Zhuang Li''s high-pitched voice made all the colleagues who were working diligently look over.


    "It''s business time now, so I''m not here for you to spout nonsense." Qiao Chuan ignored Zhuang Li.


    As for telling her that she wasn''t going to complain, she probably wouldn''t listen.


    It had to be known that once someone had a preconceived idea, no matter how others said it, she would always think that they were trying to quibble.


    Qiao Chunan was too lazy to spend his energy on telling Zhuang Li that she didn''t even hear what was being said.


    "Yo, what does my lack of wasted time have to do with you? Do you really have a relationship with the CEO? Why else would you care so much? "


    Zhuang Li mocked and ridiculed, causing Qiao Chun An''s expression to grow colder and colder. She admitted that she was not someone who was easily angered, but when someone mentioned this kind of thing, she was especially irritated.


    In this world, women were not the only people who looked down on women. There were also women who were mixed up in this.


    Why would a woman make things difficult for a woman? It just so happened that women liked to make things difficult for women.


    "Zhuang Li, I have no objections to you wasting your time. I still need to work, you''re disturbing me." George didn''t want to make his words sound bad.


    After all, in an office, if one didn''t look up, they would see others. Some things didn''t have to be done in such a way as to cause such a ruckus.


    "Do you still need to work? You took a few days off last week, what other work do you need? I think you''d better go home and be kept. "


    Zhuang Li thought of Qiao Chunan''s good temper as vanity, and her tone was even more aggressive, "Did you go to complain just now? "Isn''t it?"


    "I don''t care if you think I have or not, do you need me to answer?" Qiao Chuan was very calm. In his heart, he was looking down on Zhuang Li''s actions.


    Wasn''t it just because he was afraid of complaining?


    What is there to be afraid of?

 C120

    Besides, she didn''t complain.


    Zhuang Li was originally a bit guilty, but when she saw Qiao Chunan''s appearance, the anger in her heart flared up.


    "You also said that you didn''t go and complain, was it easy for me to come to this company? It''s because people like you make it harder and harder for people like us to work hard. "


    The more Zhuang Li spoke, the more she felt wronged. Looking at the relaxed expression on Qiao Chunan''s face, she became even angrier, "Just based on your looks alone, you seduced the CEO. Why are you working here?"


    "Zhuang Li! If you keep talking nonsense, I will sue you for slander! " Hearing Zhuang Li''s words, Qiao Chuan''s face turned ugly. She was able to stay in the company because she had her own ability.


    "I''m afraid of you? What I said was the truth! " Zhuang Li''s eyes were a little red. She looked at Qiao Chuan An with disdain, but also with fear.


    Hearing Zhuang Li''s words, Qiao Chuan was so angry that he started trembling. He said, "Zhuang Li, I''ve been here for one or two months. I haven''t finished the work that the minister entrusted me with. Don''t spout nonsense here!"


    "Heh, who knows if the department has sided with you. They are giving you some simple jobs!" Zhuang Li''s expression was completely like she was going all out, and the more she spoke, the uglier her words became.


    The department manager had already come out when the two of them were arguing.


    He originally wanted to bring Zhuang Li away, but after hearing Zhuang Li''s words, he stood on the spot with a dark expression, waiting to see just how many problems she would come up with.


    "Since you''ve already decided that I''m going to sue, then I''ll sue. What about it?" Qiao Chunan had a temper as well, and he was not someone who could be easily crushed.


    Zhuang Li had originally been feeling somewhat aggrieved. Seeing how unrepentant Qiao Chuan was, her taut bowstring broke.


    "What did you say?" You actually dared to complain! " Zhuang Li walked forward and pushed Qiao Chuan. Her expression was exceptionally horrifying.


    Qiao Chuan was caught off guard and he was immediately pushed to the ground by Zhuang Li. His forehead hit the corner of the desk beside him and blood started to flow out.


    When the two of them started arguing, someone said it even more softly.


    When he rushed over, he saw that Jojouan was lying on the ground, blood spurting from his forehead. He immediately stepped forward to support Qiao Chunan as he looked around.


    Xiuran''s face was dark, as if his entire body was surrounded by a layer of black gas, which made him feel fearful.


    The people who were originally surrounding him suddenly took a step back.


    "Who did it?" It was only then that Zhuang Li realized that she had made a mistake, and she immediately hid behind the crowd.


    Just as the thin elementalist was about to capture the person, Qiao Chuan An who was lying on the ground pulled the thin elementalist''s sleeve and said softly, "Take me to the hospital."


    She didn''t want to upset her colleagues about her.


    This matter was originally a matter between Zhuang Li and her, but seeing how Bo Xiuran was so angry, he was going to be angry with all his colleagues.


    The black colour on the face of the thin cultivator turned even more intense when he turned his head to look at the blood-red color on Qiao Chuan An''s forehead.


    However, he did not continue to stay, but his heart had already made a note for these people.


    Zhuang Li was relieved when she saw that he was carrying him away, but at the same time, she was also disgusted with him.


    He also said that it had nothing to do with the CEO. The one hugging him like this was a blind person.


    The thin cultivator drove Qiao Chuan An to the hospital.


    "Xiu Nan, don''t get angry with the people from the Ministry of Justice, okay?" Joachim sat in the emergency room, waiting for the doctor to bandage her. At the same time, he tugged at the person standing beside him. He had a pitiful expression on his face.


    "Chu An, we have to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they will continue to do this next time!" Shuren did not understand what it meant for Jocelyn to give those words.


    They had bullied her, and she should have let him take care of them.


    Why was it that he was unwilling to be bullied by those people?


    "Xiu Nan, I don''t want them to suffer unnecessary losses because of my matter." Qiao Chunan lowered his head. Although he did not see the expression on her face, he knew that she was a little down at this time.


    "It''s not because of you. I''m not paying them to talk nonsense." The anger on his face did not subside. He really did not understand what Qiao Chuan An meant by saying this.


    Joachim''s hand was only curled up, and there was a look of embarrassment on his face. She knew that the shaman didn''t understand why she was doing this, and she wanted to take care of them.


    But after that?


    He was the president, the man who paid them, and they wouldn''t bother with him.


    But in the end, all the consequences had to be borne by her.


    There were many ways to bully people in the workplace. He could protect her once, but could he always protect her?


    She was the one who spent her days and nights with those people in the office.


    If she were to offend all of them, there would be no need for her to do her work.


    They would certainly not cooperate with her in the future.


    This way, she wouldn''t be able to finish what she had.


    Moreover, if this went on for too long, even if other people didn''t dare to speak ill of her due to her presence, she wouldn''t even have the face to stay here any longer.


    As the president, this was something that the top management didn''t understand.


    She had not understood it before, but life had taught her too much.


    Even if she told him these thoughts, it was one thing if he could understand them, but it would make her lose her dignity completely.


    She couldn''t rely on him all the time.


    Pian Xiu saw that Qiao Chun An didn''t say anything and felt a sour feeling in his heart. He felt that he was trying hard to do a good job as a boyfriend, but Qiao Chun An didn''t understand him at all.


    This is what two people in different positions need to think about.


    "Alright, alright, alright. I won''t blame them. Alright, alright, please don''t be angry." Bian Shuang stood to the side and waited for a long time, but Qiao Chunan did not give in. He had no choice but to lower his body and think of how Qiao Chunan would give in to him.


    He embraced her and let her lean into his arms. His tone was very gentle.


    Seeing her like this, Qiao Chuan An''s heart was filled with a sour feeling.


    She was very serious about this relationship, but there were some things that could not be settled simply by having feelings.


    There was still a big difference between their attitudes towards things.


    The thin cultivator saw that he was already like this, but Qiao Chuan still didn''t raise his head. He panicked and quickly squatted in front of Qiao Chuan, carefully lifting his head.


    Looking at the tears on Qiao Chuan''s face, the panic in his heart increased. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, his emotions slowly became complicated.


    He stood up, his face ugly and his voice cold. "Chu An, are you angry with me because of them?"


    "Xiu Nan, there are some things that you don''t understand." Qiao Chuan shook his head. He was the son of heaven, and she was the daughter of a rich family.

 C121

    If she had never been rich, she would not have touched these things.


    However, because she was once the daughter of the Qiao family and even the number one lady in S city, she knew many things.


    She was not angry with him because of her colleagues, but with herself.


    She didn''t want to be a canary. She wanted to be a falcon with its wings spread.


    She knew that he did not want her to be a canary, but this was often expressed in his manner and speech.


    Originally, these things hadn''t exploded out because the relationship between the two of them was still very strong.


    But now she saw the problem between them.


    These problems weren''t formed overnight. It would be even more troublesome to solve them as well.


    "Then tell me, if you don''t, how would I understand?" Xiuran''s face was unsightly as he stood at the side. His voice was somewhat hoarse, "Could it be that you think I don''t understand and you want to escape?"


    "If I had wanted to run away, I would not have told you about it."


    "I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to." He knew that his expression was a little ugly, but he could not help it.


    He listened to the meaning of her words. It was all because they were inappropriate.


    He wouldn''t have felt it before, but now that his relationship with her had deepened, she made him feel at home, and he wouldn''t let go.


    "Alright, let''s not talk about this anymore. I won''t go against those people from the Ministry of Justice." In the end, he had to compromise.


    Joachim saw the reluctance to compromise, sighed inwardly, and closed his mouth to talk about it.


    After a while, the doctor came out and bandaged Jojouan, and the thin man took him straight home.


    As for going to work, he asked for a leave of absence.


    Qiao Chunan didn''t want to return to face his colleagues'' complicated gazes, so he didn''t refuse to take her back.


    After he sent Qiao Chuan home, he returned to the company.


    He had promised not to deal with those who came to watch the show, but he did not plan on letting go of the person who had pushed Jojen down.


    He didn''t dare to stay in the company for someone who dared to commit murder in the company.


    When the people from the Ministry of Justice saw that Xiuran had returned, a trace of unease flashed across their faces.


    When he returned to the office, Shuren called for a staff member and asked him to fire the person he was arguing with. At the same time, he told everyone in the company that such a thing was not allowed to happen again in the company.


    When the people from the Ministry of Justice received the notice and saw Zhuang Li being called out by the HR Department, they felt a sense of sadness.


    Noticing the department head''s abnormal mood, the minister could not help but sigh. However, he did not want to offend the CEO again, so he held a short meeting.


    They were told not to wear tinted glasses, and they were not being criticized by the president. Perhaps one of them was Jojouan, who pleaded for mercy.


    As for Zhuang Li, there was no reason for her to make a move.


    Everyone was a student of the law, so they knew the crime of harming others.


    How could such a person remain in their department?


    His company didn''t accept everyone.


    These words made everyone think for a while. Although they were still a bit dissatisfied, it was still much better.


    After returning home, Jojouan did not take any rest and decided to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Bo Anjin and the others.


    After Bo Xiuran left his shift, he went to pick up Bo Anjin by himself.


    When Bo Anjin saw that there was only one person, he asked, "Father, where is mother? Why didn''t mom come and pick me up? "


    "Your mother was injured today, so you have to be good when you go home." However, he didn''t hide anything from Bo Anjin. Instead, he told the whole story to Bo Anjin.


    "Did you have a fight with your mother?" Hearing her words, Bo Anjin immediately grasped the main point, "You want me to go back and coax Mom?"


    "After coaxing your mother, your father will receive a reward." He didn''t try to conceal his thoughts. After all, An''an was his godly assistant. There were many things that An''an could not handle.


    Bo Anjin looked at his father as he held his head in front of him. He sighed in his heart. Why did he always have to endure pain that did not belong to someone of his age?


    "Daddy, Mommy is hurt, but you still quarrel with her. You don''t know how to feel sorry for Mommy." Even now, Bo Anjin didn''t take the reward given by Xiuran seriously. His mother was angry, regardless of whether his father gave him a reward or not, he still had to coax her.


    When Bo Anjin returned home, he couldn''t help but run over to Qiao Chuan and hold his hand. He had a pained expression on his face as he asked, "Mom, does your forehead still hurt?"


    While Qiao Chun An was busy working in the kitchen, Bo An Jin was hugging his leg. Qiao Chun An rubbed Bo An Jin''s head and said softly, "It''s okay, I don''t feel pain anymore."


    "Chu An, why are you so busy cooking when you''re back?" Why aren''t you resting? " The emaciated empress also walked in. Seeing that Qiao Chun An was busy in the kitchen, her eyebrows creased. It was obvious that she didn''t want her to tire herself out.


    "I can''t rest." Qiao Chao An replied once and then said nothing else.


    The empress knew that her argument with Qiao Chuan An made her a little uncomfortable, so she did not come to disturb him. Instead, she went to the living room.


    When Bo Anjin saw that his father had left, he rolled his eyes and asked, "Mom, is there anything else I can help with?"


    "No, go out and stay with your father. This place will be fine soon." Within a few hours, Qiao Chunan had finished preparing the dinner. He did not need Bo Anjin''s help at all.


    "Mom, do you dislike me because of dad?" Bo Anjin pursed his lips and said in a weak and tearful voice, "You would have asked me to help in the past."


    Qiao Chun An saw that Bo Anjin was crying, so he was at a loss on what to do. He squatted down and explained to Bo An Jin seriously, "I don''t hate you. An An shouldn''t think too much. Every time you think too much, I''m very sad."


    Qiao Chun An knew that Bo An Jin was sticking to her, and he also knew that she was sensitive to the fact that she didn''t have a mother. However, this was not the reason why he often suspected that she would turn her back on him and ignore him.


    "Mom, I won''t, so you have to promise me that you won''t leave me." Bo Anjin knew that he had to stop when he was about to do so. He raised his head and looked at Qiao Chunan with a pair of bloodshot eyes.


    Qiao Chunan''s heart softened under Bo Anjin''s gaze. Without thinking too much, he gave his own promise, "Of course, I won''t leave you."


    This was also the reason why she had such a huge disagreement with Bo Xiuyi, but she had never thought of leaving straight away.

 C122

    "Then can you not be angry with daddy? I''ll be unhappy too when I see you guys are unhappy." Bo Anjin carefully glanced at Qiao Chunan, his face revealing a little expression that said he wanted his parents to get along with him.


    "I''m not mad at your dad, how did you know that?"


    Jojouan wondered if the thin man had told Anthea about this.


    "You didn''t talk much to Dad just now." Bo Anjin still wanted his father to be with his mother, so he definitely wouldn''t tell her that it was his father who told him about it.


    Qiao Chao An thought about his expression and couldn''t think of anything else.


    He didn''t think too much about it.


    On the other hand, the man sitting in the living room was relieved when he heard the conversation in the kitchen and knew that his son had pacified Qiao Chunan.


    Although Qiao Chuan was not angry at Xiuran, he still minded a little from the bottom of his heart.


    At the same time, she knew that Anthea coming to talk to her about this matter must have something to do with the meniscus.


    In the evening, after dinner, Siu Hsien went to the kitchen and washed the dishes.


    He didn''t ask for a nanny to stay at Qiao Chunan''s place. After all, the house was too small and there was no room for a nanny. Besides, they were often away, so there was nothing to do at all.


    After the baby was five or six years old, there were some things that needed to be done by himself.


    When Bo Anjin had finished his shower, Qiao Chuan went to coax the child to sleep.


    Last night, when Qiao Chuan walked out of the door of Bo Anjin''s room, he met the thin Xiuran who was waiting for him in the living room. "Chu An, come, let me change the medicine with you."


    He remembered everything the doctor said in the hospital today.


    Without rejecting her offer, he sat down beside her and waited for her to apply the medicine.


    The wound was not very deep, and it was also on his forehead. It was much easier to deal with, and there was no disfigurement.


    Of course, even if there was a scar, there were still a lot of ways for her to remove it.


    The two of them had a bit of an ambiguous relationship. Although they had different opinions, they were unable to resist this kind of endocrine hormone.


    Of course, the two of them did not take a step forward. They were only guarding at a suitable distance and not making anyone feel uncomfortable.


    After finishing applying the medicine, the thin cultivator went back to his room. Qiao Chuan An looked at the thin cultivator''s back and sighed. Then, he went back to his room.


    On the second day, after the two of them sent her to kindergarten, they also went to the company.


    The atmosphere in the office was rather strange.


    She thought it must have been yesterday when Bian Niang had come to support her.


    Could she blame him?


    Definitely not.


    She was his girlfriend, and there was no problem with it.


    She had thought a lot about what had happened yesterday. She had thought about it from her point of view, but from her point of view, what he had done was not a problem at all.


    But without it, she would have to bear the consequences.


    When Qiao Chunan entered the office, he found that Zhuang Li''s seat was empty.


    Thinking about it must have been done by Shuryama.


    However, there was nothing to say. After all, Zhuang Li had injured someone at the company. He was worried that she would be secretive about the matter, so he was relieved that she was gone.


    She really didn''t know how to face Zhuang Li.


    The kind of person who said bad things about her behind her back didn''t feel the slightest bit of guilt when they saw her back. Instead, they wanted to push her down and make her afraid.


    Thus, the purpose of her words being buried was achieved.


    She didn''t know what to say to such a person.


    She wasn''t a white faced girl, anyone could pinch her.


    The expression on Qiao Chuan An''s face was very calm as he sat down at his desk.


    His colleague who was sitting in front of his desk saw that he had arrived. He had an embarrassed look on his face, but there was also a trace of concern on his face. "How''s your forehead? Is it serious? "


    The colleague sitting in front of him was the only one who had a good relationship with him. In this awkward moment, she was the only one who came out to try to ease the atmosphere.


    However, the effect was not too obvious.


    It was reasonable to say that everyone should have taken care of Qiao Chunan. However, the reason why Qiao Chunan was injured was because of their lack of concern. Thus, they did not dare to go forward.


    Seeing his colleague sitting at the front table looking a little awkward, Qiao Chuanan smiled faintly. His voice sounded a little shallow, "It''s nothing serious. It''s just a layer of skin that was broken."


    "It''s good that you''re fine." His colleague did not know what to say, so he turned away.


    Looking at the awkward scene in the office, Qiao Chuan knew that only time could ease the awkwardness.


    Not to mention them, she was a little disappointed yesterday as well.


    She had thought that she wasn''t that familiar with the people in the office, but she also hadn''t gotten to the point where she didn''t even try to persuade Zhuang Li to scold her.


    Normally, she would leave late and when someone in the office asked for her help, she basically agreed to help with small matters.


    She didn''t do this to get others to repay her, but she didn''t want to make them talk about herself behind her back instead of telling them what she had done.


    The Head of Department had already agreed to her request for leave. Furthermore, she didn''t want to delay any further, so why would they say behind her back that she was so arrogant because she relied on such a thin shaman''s power? She had never been so arrogant before.


    Not long after Qiao Chuan arrived at the office, the Minister also came.


    Ask Jocelyn to come into the office and talk.


    The Minister knew a little about Qiao Chuan''s origins. It was precisely because he knew a little about him that he knew that he had gone overboard yesterday.


    At that time, he just wanted to see how ugly Zhuang Li''s words were, he never thought that someone as honest as Zhuang Li would actually make a move.


    She hadn''t expected Zhuang Li to make a move.


    Not to mention that the CEO wanted to fire Zhuang Li, even he couldn''t allow such a blabbermouth person to stay in the department.


    There were many capable people in the world, and she was not the only one.


    "Chu An, I''m so sorry about what happened yesterday. I just wanted to hear how ugly Zhuang Li can sound. I didn''t expect her to make a move. I''m sorry, I couldn''t stop Zhuang Li in time."


    The Minister had always been direct with his words and didn''t beat around the bush. He directly spoke about what he didn''t manage to stand up for yesterday and apologized at the same time.


    Honestly speaking, she didn''t think that Zhuang Li would suddenly make a move yesterday.


    Otherwise, the scene behind would not have appeared.


    "It''s nothing. The minister didn''t expect it either." Qiao Chuan had a good impression of the minister. After all, the minister had helped her a lot.


    Yesterday, so many people didn''t stand up for her. Even if she wanted to blame them, she wouldn''t be able to.


    Besides, it wasn''t his duty to not help others.

 C123

    Qiao Chunan came out from the minister''s office with a complicated feeling in his heart.


    How could she not know what they were thinking? But whether she could accept it or not was another matter.


    Although she didn''t want him to help her vent her anger in front of Xiuran, she still had some enmity towards those people in her heart.


    It was likely that today, when the Minister had asked her to not argue with them, he had also indicated to her that he would not make things difficult for her in the future.


    After receiving such accurate information, Qiao Chao An''s mood improved a little.


    She hadn''t had much contact with the people in the office in the first place, and as long as they didn''t make things difficult for her, she had no intention of settling the score with them.


    After all, she didn''t have the ability to do so right now.


    As for finding the empress, she didn''t rely on anyone else for this sort of thing.


    None of this was known to him.


    Perhaps if she knew, she would only say it in a hypocritical manner, but to her, this was her true intention.


    Returning to his seat, he began to work seriously.


    At noon, the thin one called Jojouan directly to his office.


    He was originally hiding from others, but now he was very direct.


    Qiao Chunan knew what Xi Shuyan was thinking. Since they were hiding it from the company, they might as well go straight to the point.


    Therefore, he didn''t think about anything else and just went straight to the place when the Shuren girl called her over.


    Lunch was one of the more famous restaurants in the town of Perseus, and it was known as the nuptials for Jocelyn.


    But he could only accept it.


    When he returned to the office after lunch, he could feel her gaze on him, but she couldn''t care less now.


    Anyway, they could say that she wouldn''t be the one to suffer in the end.


    The other people in the office saw that there was no expression on Qiao Chuan''s face. They had a lot of thoughts and emotions. At the same time, their attitude towards Qiao Chuan had changed.


    He did not call out casually like he used to, but there was a hint of fawning in his voice.


    Faced with such a change, Qiao Chu An could only smile.


    Isn''t it human nature?


    In the afternoon, after work, Qiao Chuan An went to the kindergarten with Siu Hsien to pick up Bo Anjin and bring him home.


    As for the family mansion, after Qiao Chuan mentioned it a few times, he didn''t mention it again.


    The two of them seemed to have treated the place Qiao Chuan rented as their home, and they started to have more things.


    Qiao Chuan didn''t say anything as she saw this. She said that they wouldn''t bring anything back with them anyway.


    Bian Shuang went to the kindergarten to pick up Bian An, while Qiao Chu An sat in the car and watched the other parents of the kindergarten slowly walk to the car parked beside them, holding the hands of their children.


    His thoughts were in a mess.


    She barely thought about her children these days.


    Even if he thought about it now, it only lasted for a moment before vanishing from his mind.


    It wasn''t that she didn''t want to, but reality forced her not to think about it.


    When Xiuran came back and saw Qiao Chuan, his heart skipped a beat. However, his expression didn''t change and was very calm. "Chuan, what are you looking at?"


    At the side, Bo Anjin also asked, "Mom, are the children outside as obedient as me?"


    Hearing the voices of the two people behind him, Qiao Chuan turned around with a gentle smile on his face. He reached out his hand to pat Bo Anjin''s head and gently said, "An An is the most obedient. I was just a bit lost in thought."


    Bo Anjin didn''t think too much about it. He felt that since his mother had already said that he was lost in thought, he didn''t continue asking.


    On the other hand, the thin Shura saw the expression on Qiao Chuan An''s face and thought a little too much.


    After all, no matter how smart Bo Anjin was, there were some things he did not know.


    For example, he didn''t know that Qiao Chuan An was her biological mother at all.


    He was even less aware of the problems between his parents.


    "Then you guys sit down, I''ll go drive." After carrying Bo Anjin to the back of the car, he went to the driver''s seat and drove.


    Bo Anjin sat on the chair next to Qiao Chuan.


    "What''s wrong with you? Is there something you want to say to me? " Qiao Chu An looked at Bo Anjin''s hesitant expression and found it very funny. He rubbed Bo Anjin''s head and said with a smile, "Is there anything you can''t tell me?"


    When Bo Anjin heard Qiao Chuan''s words, his eyes lit up and a big smile appeared on his face. One look and one could tell that he was very excited.


    "Mom, Mom, this weekend, our kindergarten will have a sports event. I was taking part in a running competition, and the teacher said he can invite Mom and Dad to watch it together."


    Speaking of this matter, Bo Anjin''s face lit up. He held Qiao Chunan''s hand and kept shaking it. "Mom, why don''t you come with me?"


    "Will you come with me?"


    Qiao Chun An''s heart was about to melt from the shaking of her hands. However, she was now the girlfriend of the empress, not his mother, so her status wasn''t suitable at all.


    "An An, I''m afraid this won''t do." When Qiao Chun An said this, his face showed that he was in a difficult position. She didn''t want to reject An An''s request at all, but there was really no way for her to lick her face.


    What do you think? This makes the other parents of the kindergarten want to be at peace.


    His face, which had originally been brimming with energy and vigor, immediately shriveled down upon hearing Qiao Chuan An''s words.


    He didn''t let go of Qiao Chuan''s hand. Instead, he tightened his grip. However, Bo Anjin''s hand was too small to feel anything even if he squeezed it tighter.


    "Mama, why? "Why not?" When Bo Anjin said this, his disappointed expression made Qiao Chun An''s heart clench.


    If Bo Anjin caused a ruckus, Qiao Chun An would feel better. However, with Bo Anjin''s obedient appearance, he felt that he had made an unforgivable mistake.


    "Chu An, why aren''t you going?" While Bo An Jin was feeling sad, Lan did not try to comfort her. Instead, she asked him something.


    Hearing this, Qiao Chuan An raised his head and looked at the driver''s seat. "Xiu Lan, you know it."


    Bo Anjin looked up after hearing what Qiao Chuan said, his eyes filled with water vapor, "Mom, what does daddy know? "Did Daddy not let you go?"


    As Bo Anjin said this, he shifted his gaze from Qiao Chunan to the Shuren girl.


    Seeing this situation, Qiao Chun An didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. He turned around and explained to Bo An Jin: "An An, even though you keep calling me mother now, I didn''t stop you, but whether it is in terms of blood relation or law, I''m not your mother."

 C124

    Joachim did not push the blame on the Shuriken.


    She did not want their relationship to be affected in any way by her being an outsider, or else she would be guilty.


    "No, you are my mother." When Bo Anjin heard Qiao Chuan An''s words, he became a little anxious. His small face revealed a hint of anxiousness, and his voice sounded especially serious, "You are my mother, you promised."


    "An''an." Qiao Chao An was at a loss for what to do, especially looking at Bo Anjin''s appearance. It was as if if if she said that she was not his mother, he would immediately cry.


    "Mom, you are my mom." Bo Anjin didn''t care that much. He threw himself into Qiao Chuan''s arms and nudged her, refusing to admit that she was not his mother.


    In his mind, she was his mother.


    Qiao Chuan raised his head and looked at her, imploring her to help him.


    As he drove, he pretended not to see Qiao Chuan like this.


    After a long while, Bo Xiuniang finally spoke up, "Even An An has let you go, isn''t that just a matter of name? If you''ll excuse me, we''ll go and get the card tomorrow. "


    Hearing those words, Qiao Chun An''s pupils dilated and he quickly waved his hand, "No need, no need, I can go."


    As for the embarrassing words he had said earlier, he swallowed them all.


    She believed that it would be possible for her to pass on as the girlfriend of the emaciated empress.


    After consoling himself for a while, Qiao Chu An finally suppressed the shock of hearing the news.


    Seeing that Qiao Chuan An was unable to dodge in time, the thin Shura could not help but find it funny. At the same time, she knew that she was truly unwilling or unprepared to be together with him.


    Otherwise, when they heard this news, it would not be out of fear, but out of joy or shyness.


    It was more likely that she had never considered him as the other half of her future.


    Thinking of this, Xi Xiuran''s mood became somewhat complex.


    However, no one could understand this complexity.


    As for Bo Anjin, when he heard that Qiao Chuan An had agreed to watch his match, he immediately jumped up.


    "Mom, did you really promise me to go watch my match? Really, you aren''t lying to me? " After being happy for a while, Bo Anjin opened her bright eyes and stared at Qiao Chuan An.


    Qiao Chunan saw how cute Bo Anjin was and did not resist at all. "Mm, I will not go back on my promise."


    Bo Anjin also knew that since his mother promised him, she wouldn''t go back on her word. The smile on his face was very obvious, even when he got off the car, she was still jumping around.


    A good mood can easily infect someone else.


    Seeing that Bo Anjin was so happy, all the tangled thoughts in Qiao Chuan''s mind were all gone.


    After all, the most important thing was for the child to be happy.


    And as for the gossip, can''t the thin siren solve it?


    After all, the child was his, and he must have been even more anxious.


    It was not that Qiao Chu''an did not love Bo Anjin, but she was controlling her love for Bo Anjin.


    She was afraid that she wouldn''t be able to take it back in the future.


    As for the idea of starting a family with Shura, he had never considered it.


    There might have been one, but it was quickly abandoned by him.


    After all, her current position was too far away from that of a thin shaman.


    She was not a fledgling. She had lived abroad for five years, and the hardships of life had taught her some things.


    "Chu An, An An was a very sensitive child. If anything happens in the future, I hope you won''t refuse."


    "But, I ¡­" Joachim pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.


    "Don''t you believe that if you hadn''t agreed to go to the kindergarten with An An, he would have gone into hiding tonight and cried."


    Hearing her words, Qiao Chuan''s gaze shifted to her. "Have you done this before?"


    "Yes." The thin one didn''t say much, but Jojouan understood what the thin one had meant.


    She couldn''t imagine herself without agreeing to see Bo Anjin''s sports meeting at once because of the provocation of Bo Xiuran, who would hide and cry by herself.


    Just thinking about it made it difficult for her to breathe.


    "Don''t just look at how he usually makes a ruckus, but at the bottom of his heart, he really cares about these things." He did not exaggerate.


    Bo Anjing was running in front. Seeing that his parents did not catch up, he ran back with a big smile on his face, "You guys are too slow. I''ve already reached the elevator door."


    "Of course we''re not as peaceful as he is. After all, he has to participate in the sports meet." Qiao Chu An rubbed Bo Anjin''s head. The gentle smile on his face gave off a halo under the setting sun, giving off the impression that he was an angel.


    When Bo Anjin saw this scene, he was exceptionally happy. His mother was indeed the one and only person in this world. "Mom, you''re so beautiful."


    "You talk too much." The family of three said this and went home.


    When he got home, Qiao thought that Bo Anjin would be competing in the tournament and would need to prepare some pre-match training.


    He then suggested some exercise to Bo Anjin and how to protect himself on the field.


    "Mom, are you going to help me train?" After listening to Qiao Chuan An''s words, a look of eagerness flashed across Bo Anjin''s face. He wanted to tell Qiao Chuan everything that his mother had just told him.


    Qiao Chunan only gave a general idea. At the end, it was still Bo Xiushan and Bo Anjin training together.


    She herself went into the kitchen.


    She felt that she needed to make up for it with both of them.


    The family division of labor was especially harmonious.


    Later that night, after Joachim had coaxed her to sleep and listened to her mother talk in her sleep, he suddenly realized that there were some things he had not done very well.


    For example, she had rejected Bo Anjin because she felt that it was inappropriate. She had never thought about what the bottom of Bo Anjin''s heart was thinking.


    "Is Anthea asleep?" As soon as he went out, he saw the Shuriken, who was waiting in the living room.


    "Yes, I fell asleep." Qiao Chuan sat down next to the thin one and pondered for a moment. Then he said, "Isn''t it too much of a lack of fatherly love and motherly love? You need to spend more time with Ann. "


    "I''ve already tried my best to accompany him. As for motherly love, just accompany him for a bit. He really likes you." As he spoke, he kept his eyes on her, trying to read something in her face.


    Hearing her words, Qiao Chuan An did not refuse. After thinking it over carefully, he nodded his head.


    She would have spent more time and energy on Bo Anjin without having to say anything.


    The two chatted for a while before returning to their respective rooms.


    In the next few days, after the two of them took An An home, they would train together with him.


    Sometimes it was a thin one, sometimes it was an old one.


    The family got along extremely harmoniously.


    On the day of Bo Anjing''s sports event, Bo Anjin woke up very early and dressed exceptionally handsomely. Of course, the equipment was rejected by Qiao Chunan.

 C125

    After changing into a new set of sports clothes, the family walked towards Bo Anjin''s kindergarten.


    Holding one in each hand, Bo Anjin was in a very good mood. When he saw his friends, he introduced them one by one, "Little Fatty, this is my mom and this is my dad."


    "This is our little friend from the Enlightenment. He looks really cute." When Bo Anjin brought Qiao Chunan to look for his good friend, Qiao Chunan also squatted down with a warm smile on his face.


    Originally, there were some nervous chubby kids, but when they saw how amiable An An''s mother was, they released her. They extended their chubby hands out like little adults. "Hello, Auntie. I''m Duan Qiming."


    "Hello Young Master Bo, Miss Qiao." Duan Qiming''s parents were beside him as well. When Bo Anjin came over to greet him, they also greeted him.


    "An An, this time, are you coming with your parents to win the championships?" Duan Qiming''s mother didn''t say anything else. Instead, she teased Bo Anjin.


    As for the fact that his own child was called Little Fatty, Duan Qiming''s mother didn''t care at all.


    In her eyes, her child was round and cute.


    Originally, Bo Anjin''s name was not "Little Fatty" after Qiao Chunan corrected him. In the end, Little Fatty thought that Bo Anjin was no longer playing around with him.


    In the end, he did not care about the title.


    After all, Duan Qiming liked it when people called him Little Fatty, so she couldn''t say anything, could she?


    After chatting for a while, Bo Anjin brought his parents to the side of the other children.


    After a walk, the kindergarten friends all knew that Bo Anjin had a very good-looking mother.


    Bo Anjin felt the gazes of the people around him falling on him. His chest was puffed up, giving him a sense of confidence.


    Seeing this, Qiao Chuan only felt that it was funny. He also tried to stop it.


    When it was time for the games to begin, Shuren spoke to the parents of some of the children and went to find Jojouan. The two of them sat in a nearby seat and watched a group of kids compete.


    This kindergarten was a private kindergarten. Basically, the people it received were the children of their circle, so the parents were basically familiar with each other.


    They knew even Qiao Chunan.


    After all, they could all see the attitude of Xi Qiulin at that charity dinner.


    There was also no one who didn''t have the face to run out and feel uncomfortable.


    After all, people who were married and had children didn''t see things as important as before.


    On the stage, Qiao Chunan and Bo Xiuran watched Bo Anjin doing warm-up exercises, and couldn''t help smiling at each other.


    Bo Anjin reported a total of two projects, one was to run back and forth and the other was to jump rope.


    The first thing to do was jump rope.


    When Bo Anjin was ready, his gaze shifted to his parents in the stands.


    After the start of the competition, Qiao Zheng An heard the surrounding parents cheering for their children. Although they were a little embarrassed, they followed the others and shouted out.


    As soon as she saw him, she called out to him, and she called out to him herself.


    "An An, you can do it!"


    "An An, you can do it!"


    When Bo Anjin heard his parents'' voices, he waved his hands even faster.


    In the end, although he did not win first place, the smile on his face was really big. His face was red and his eyes were sparkling.


    "An An, it doesn''t matter if you don''t get first place, it''s more important to participate." Afraid that Bo Anjin was unhappy, Qiao Chuan comforted him softly after he came down.


    While drinking the water, Bo Anjin''s eyes sparkled as he looked at his parents. With a sweet voice, he said, "I''m not unhappy. I''m very happy, especially hearing my parents cheering me on."


    Bo Anjin didn''t try to hide his happiness at all. Only now did Qiao Chun An feel that he was a little narrow-minded, but he was still very happy.


    Bo Xiuniang stood to the side and watched the smile on Bo Anjin''s face. Seeing the gentleness in Qiao Chunan''s eyes, her heart felt especially warm.


    But then she remembered that she had hidden it from him. If she had known about it, wouldn''t that be the end of the scene?


    Thinking of this, the smile on Bo Xiuran''s face faded, but he quickly changed the topic, returning the topic back to Bo Anjin.


    "An An, you have to be careful when you run later."


    "I''ll be careful."


    "I didn''t get first place on the jump rope. My next round trip will definitely get first place. None of them are as fast as me." When Bo Anjin said this, his face was filled with confidence.


    Seeing the expression on Bo Anjin''s face, the two of them did not say anything to hurt his confidence. After all, it was a good thing for a child to have confidence.


    After resting for a while, the next match began.


    Bo Anjin also looked at his parents and gave them a big smile. After getting ready, a whistle sounded. Just as he was about to run forward, he tripped and fell.


    The moment they saw Bo Anjin fall to the ground, Qiao Chunan and Bo Xiuran immediately ran towards the stage.


    When Bo Anjin fell to the ground, he did not cry. His face was taut and he wanted to stand up by himself, but he did not.


    Qiao Chunan immediately went up on the stage and picked up Bo Anjin.


    "An An, are you alright?"


    When he was carried off the stage, there were tears in Bo Anjin''s eyes, "Dad, mom, I have no way to get first place anymore."


    After all, his parents were watching over him. In the end, he fell down just like that.


    He hadn''t been crying at first, but after being comforted by Qiao Chu An, he couldn''t hold it in anymore.


    "It''s okay, it''s okay. We''ll come again next time. An An, are there any injuries?" Qiao Chunan held on to Bo Anjin while he consoled her and checked to see if he was injured.


    "I''m not hurt, not at all." As Bo Anjin said this, his face contorted in pain. Qiao Chunan lowered his head, looked at his broken leg, and immediately carried him out the door.


    After Bo Xiuran said that to the kindergarten teacher, he immediately took over Bo Anjin from Qiao Chuan and the two of them walked towards the hospital.


    "Dad, mom, I''m just a small wound." Bo Anjin felt a little embarrassed as he was being carried by Bo Xiushan. He revealed a pitiful expression on his face.


    "Isn''t that just going to the hospital?" The thin Shuyan did not pay attention to Bo Anjin''s cute act. In any case, he had to go to the hospital.


    When Bo Anjin saw his father being so heartless, his gaze fell on his mother. However, when he saw the disapproving expression on Qiao Chuan''s face, he could only pout his lips and reluctantly went to the hospital.


    For the hospital, Bo Anjin had no good impression at all.


    That was true. Who would have a good impression of a hospital?

 C126

    Lan and Qiao Chunan brought him to inspect. Fortunately, it was only a light injury, not a serious one.


    While Qiao Chuan An was fetching the medicine, Bo Anjin raised his head and looked at his father who was sitting beside him. He couldn''t help but ask in a small voice, "Dad, when are you going to marry mom?"


    "I heard you telling Mom about the pass the other day." Bo Anjin''s face was filled with a ''don''t try to fool me'' expression, which made Bo Xiuran look extremely funny.


    She had no idea when she would marry him.


    In the past, he had wanted to lie to Qiao Chuan. But now, he had truly fallen in love with him.


    If it was before, he would have immediately proposed to her, but now that they had truly fallen in love, he was actually a little fearful.


    He was even more worried that the truth of what he had been hiding would be exposed, and Qiao Chu An would kick him out.


    "Anthea, there are some things that I can''t do just because I want to." He didn''t know how to explain this to her, so he had to be vague.


    "Then is it that Mom doesn''t agree, but you didn''t even ask Mom, how do you know Mom won''t agree?" Bo Anjin felt that his father was lying to him.


    "I really want my mother to be my real mother." Don''t underestimate Bo Anjin, but there were some things that he understood.


    For example, the matter of receiving a certificate, or the matter of arranging a wedding.


    Duan Qiming had told him all these things before.


    Every now and then, his parents would stay home and talk about the marriage certificate. They would even say that if they didn''t have a child, they wouldn''t go and get one.


    Bo Anjin felt that he was also the child of his parents. Why didn''t they accept the certificate just because they had him?


    Was it because she wasn''t her mother''s biological child that her mother wasn''t willing to get the certificate from her father?


    The more Bo Anjin thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He even vaguely felt that his mother wouldn''t want him just because she had other children.


    He didn''t want to be a motherless child. He wanted his mother to be his mother.


    A child was still a small child. Sometimes, the difference between their emotions was even more obvious.


    "Dad, why don''t you marry Mom earlier? If I don''t become my mother, what should I do? " Having been in contact with Qiao Chuan An and enjoyed the days of his mother''s love, Bo Anjin did not want to go back to the life he had in the past no matter what.


    "I''ll ask your mother about this and see what she thinks. If she agrees, we''ll get married immediately."


    Only after receiving such an answer did Bo Anjin feel satisfied.


    When Qiao Chuan came in, Bo Anjin''s eyes were filled with surprise and joy.


    "Mom, mom, dad has something to talk to you about." When Bo Anjin saw Qiao Chunan enter, he immediately pushed his father out.


    "Anything to say?" At the same time, he held the ointment in his hand, bent down, and began to apply the ointment on Bo Anjin''s body.


    Originally, he had called for the nurse to come apply the medicine. However, Bo Anjin was still wailing. Thus, this matter had fallen onto Qiao Chu An.


    Qiao Chunan''s hands moved very gently. He waited for a while and finished applying the medicine on Bo Anjin''s legs. However, Qiao Chunan still didn''t hear him and couldn''t help but raise his head to look at him.


    "Don''t you have something to say?"


    When Qiao Chunan lowered his head and applied medicine to Bo Anjin, the Elementalist gave him a glare. Immediately, he started to think about how he could ignore this topic.


    "An An, he said he wants to eat a small cake, and when I said I was going to cook it for him, he told me to tell you because he was afraid you wouldn''t let him eat so much." Xiuran threw the pot directly onto Bo Anjin''s body.


    When Bo Anjin heard his father''s words, his mouth twitched, but he did not refute. He knew that his father was useless.


    However, he still had to give face to his father.


    Otherwise, if her mother felt that her father was too useless and didn''t want him anymore, what would happen to him?


    To be a motherless child again?


    He didn''t want it.


    The family of three didn''t stay in the hospital for long, as Bo Anjin''s injury was only a minor bruise and wasn''t too severe. They were discharged from the hospital and returned home.


    When they got home, Qiao Chunan played with Bo Anjin.


    The thin one went off to work.


    Originally, the company had a lot of things to do during this period of time.


    Bo Anjin was also obedient and didn''t insist that his father stay behind.


    In any case, at the current stage, as long as he had a mother, it would be fine.


    Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin were playing jigsaw puzzles together. Basically, it was still Bo Anjin playing on the side, while Qiao Chunan was watching from the side.


    Only when Bo Anjin didn''t know what to do did Qiao Chunan remind him from the side.


    The two of them played like this for the whole afternoon. When it was almost time for dinner, Qiao Zheng An went out to prepare dinner.


    However, Bo Anjin hid in the house and called his father, telling him to be sure to ask when his mother planned to marry him tonight.


    "Did you hear that? "Dad, if you don''t work hard, I won''t have a mother anymore." There was a trace of atmosphere in Bo Anjin''s voice. He kept feeling that his father hadn''t tried hard enough.


    In fact, he didn''t really put in much effort.


    Especially after he really liked Qiao Chunan.


    He wanted to go one step further with George, but at the same time the things he had done before were so deep in his heart that he did not dare to go one step further.


    It was impossible for him to tell this to Bo Anjin.


    Even if he told her, she wouldn''t understand.


    "I understand, I will try my best. You''re just a kid, why are you worrying so much?" As for getting Qiao Chuan to be with someone else, that was impossible.


    Even if he owed her for this, it was impossible for her to leave him.


    The toughness in his bones didn''t diminish at all. Even though he was acting so soft in front of Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin, his methods were very tough.


    When it was time for dinner, Shuren went home.


    After dinner, Qiao Zheng An changed Bo Anjin''s medicine and coaxed him to sleep.


    As for the wound on his forehead, it was almost healed.


    When Qiao Chuan walked out of Bo Anjin''s door, as expected, he saw the thin elementalist.


    She didn''t believe what Bo Xiuran said in the hospital today, but she knew that Bo Anjin was unable to say it out loud.


    "Today, An An said something that you want to tell me. What is it?" Qiao Chun An sat beside the emaciated emirate and raised his head. A pair of clear eyes stared directly at the emaciated emirate.


    The thin cultivator felt uneasy, especially under the direct gaze of Qiao Chuan An.


    "Don''t tell me about the little cake." Although she did not allow Bo Anjin to eat too many small cakes, but it was not to the point that she needed Bo Xiuran to be a lobbyist.


    "Anthea told me today that she wants you to be her mother." "What do you think?"

 C127

    "Am I not now Anthea''s mother?" Before he could react, he asked a question in return.


    When he said this, she immediately understood what he meant.


    Was this a proposal?


    Or was she overthinking it?


    "You are now Anthea''s mother. "Then would you like to be Ann''s mother?" The two sentences didn''t seem to make much of a difference, but Qiao Chuan knew what they meant.


    She was Ann''s mother, everyone thought so.


    Asking her if she was willing to be An An''s mother was implicitly asking her to marry him.


    Having understood the meaning of her words, Qiao Chun An''s face was burning. He didn''t know if he should agree or not, so he mumbled, "I''m An An''s mother now. This is actually quite good."


    This kind of state was naturally good, one could advance, one could retreat.


    "Then what do you think about getting married?" The thin one asked bluntly.


    Qiao Chunan''s face turned red when he heard the straightforward question. His heart was beating fast. She had some expectations for the marriage, but that was after she had avenged the Gu family.


    However, she couldn''t say this kind of thing out loud, let alone for her boyfriend to hear.


    "Marriage, marriage is a natural thing."


    After saying this, Qiao Chao An went straight back to his room.


    Xiuran looked at his back and thought about the blush on his face. He was stunned.


    At the same time, he felt some bitterness in his heart.


    It was rare for him to reveal such an emotion, but he just happened to run into such a person.


    His heart was on her, and she liked him, but he had done his own sins, leaving a gap between them that only he could see.


    After returning to the bedroom, Qiao Chuan was holding his chest and the blush on his face had not disappeared at all.


    There was no doubt that she was fond of the pencil-thin.


    Although their way of thinking and behavior were far apart, she still liked him.


    She had always been a troublesome person. If she had not really fallen in love with Perseus, she would not have let him live in her house.


    Even if she was in love with Bo Anjin, she wouldn''t like her father too.


    A thin cultivator had the ability to make others like him. Regardless of background, appearance, or speech, he was a rare partner.


    As for finding a partner and not looking for one''s past, that was a lie.


    After all, those things also constituted a person''s basic attitude to the world.


    Although he did not like her because of his background, it was inevitable that her background would be of great help to her.


    After all, how could a normal employee have that much power when it came to the things that the thin elmer had done to help her?


    Qiao Zheng An patted his face, suppressing the blush on his face.


    Although she liked the emollient empress, there were some matters that had yet to happen. For example, the Gu Clan and the Su Clan were still around. For example, her father was yet to be released from prison.


    These things needed her to think about.


    She was past the age when she could feel anything, and there was no background for her willfulness.


    Thinking about these things, Qiao Chuan''s memories went back to the time when Mrs Qiao was still alive.


    She was very nostalgic for the blissful life she had as a child, and now that she had a family, she was very grateful to her daughter.


    Not only did he like the atmosphere of the house, but so did Qiao Chuan.


    She also wanted to have her own home, a place that didn''t need much, where she could live with her father and live in peace.


    As for the Shura, she didn''t have the ability to get him to join her.


    Of course, today''s words made Qiao Chuan wonder what kind of Huai An he would be like in his own life.


    Thinking back and forth, it was probably more or less the same as now.


    Actually, Qiao Chuan An was a bit moved by what Jian Chen had said.


    She also wanted a home.


    The thin Xiu Nan who was outside the door also saw Qiao Chuan An''s anticipation, but at the same time, she also saw her worry.


    Actually, she wasn''t the only one who was worried. Didn''t she also have her own concerns as well?


    Qiao Chuan thought about it for a long time. In the end, he still didn''t know what to do, so he could only drag it out.


    After sitting in the living room for a while, he returned to his room.


    When he woke up the next day, seeing the strange atmosphere between his parents, he couldn''t help but think about what his father had told him.


    Dad had never lied to him. He must have asked Mom that question yesterday.


    Did his mother not agree with his current reaction?


    But why?


    Although he despised his father, his father was able to attract so many beautiful aunts.


    Why did Mom marry Dad not far away?


    "Mom, mom, did dad propose to you last night?" Bo Anjin did not know how to be tactful.


    When she said this, her eyes were still sparkling, as if they had already agreed to marry each other.


    "Who told you that? Child, don''t think too much." Being frightened by Bo Anjin''s words, Qiao Chunan almost choked on his saliva.


    With a caring tone, he said, "You still say that An An is only a child. Look at how much you''ve choked yourself with your water, you must be quite capable."


    There was a hint of gentleness in Qiao Chuan''s voice as he said this. When he turned his head and saw the expression on the man''s face, he was slightly frightened.


    However, he quickly recovered his wits.


    When Bo Anjin saw his mother like this, he shook his head like a little adult, "Mom, you''re definitely not getting married because of dad, right?"


    "Daddy can''t even take care of people, no wonder Mommy doesn''t want to marry daddy anymore." Bo Anjin sat on the sofa, both his hands supporting his face. With a heavy tone, he said, "It seems that I will be a motherless child again in a short amount of time."


    "What nonsense are you talking about?" Qiao Chuan rubbed Bo Anjin''s head with a smile on his face. He found Bo Anjin''s words to be quite funny.


    "What nonsense am I spouting? Mommy, where do you think Daddy is dissatisfied? You tell me, I''ll supervise Dad and get Dad to fix it. "


    Hearing this, both of them felt a little awkward, but at the same time, they also felt that it was very funny.


    "Why are children thinking so much? Daddy and Mommy have their own thoughts on this."


    While he was laughing, he was also a bit troubled. How could this child not trust his father?


    "Relying on you? I don''t have a mother if I rely on you. "


    Bo Anjin glared at Yu Rou and ran over to Qiao Chun An''s side. He held Qiao Chun An''s hand with a serious expression on his face. "Mother, please pity my father. If you dislike him, then I won''t have a mother."

 C128

    "What are you talking about, child?" Qiao Chuan had a face full of amusement. "This is something that I won''t say anymore in the future. Otherwise, I will not be happy."


    After hearing Qiao Chuan An''s words, Bo Anjin did not say anything and just pouted.


    What''s wrong with him wanting Mom and Dad to be together?


    Why did everyone treat him like a child?


    This is very annoying.


    It was not as if he did not know about Bo Anjin''s thoughts, nor did he not want him to have the love of his parents.


    They all had their own plans, and some things couldn''t be so easily agreed to.


    Hence, Bo Anjin was only unhappy for a moment before he calmed himself down.


    "Mom, can I have a little cake today? I''m wounded. " Bo Anjin pointed at his broken legs and directly mentioned his benefits as a wounded person.


    "Alright, alright, alright. I''ll make you a small cake today. Then, do you want me to help you make it?" Qiao Chu An didn''t reject Bo Anjin''s idea. Instead, he brought up the matter of asking Bo Anjin to help him.


    "Of course I''m here to help. Dad is also here, right?" Bo Anjin rolled up his sleeves at the side and looked at the girl beside him. His eyes darted around as he tried to think of a way to let his parents have more contact with him.


    He believed that as long as his mother knew more about his father, it was because she had married him.


    Although Dad was stupid, he was still better than the others.


    After all, it was his father.


    With such thoughts on their faces, how could the two adults not understand? But they did not say anything, as it was purely a matter of the time they had spent together as a family of three.


    After the three of them finished their breakfast, they started to make the small cakes.


    Jojouan loved to do these things. When he was overseas, he had to learn to do everything he could. Although he hadn''t done it for a while, he still remembered the steps he had taken.


    As for the oven, the egg dispenser, and the stirrer, they had all been sent to the supermarket.


    "An An, help me stir up this egg yolk. I''ll give it to you after your dad divided the chicken meat with the egg white. You can make this." In the afternoon, the family of three began preparing the cake in the kitchen.


    As for whether or not they could eat it in the end, it didn''t matter whether it looked good or not.


    To make a cake is to deepen the feelings of a family.


    "Daddy, aren''t you too stupid? Even the egg yolk ran into the egg white." When he was dividing the egg white and egg yolk, he couldn''t control his hand and allowed the yolk and egg white to be stored together in the basin below.


    As the thin one was raised a little too high, the egg yolk would scatter if it fell.


    Qiao Chunan heard the father and son conversation. His expression was very gentle and he didn''t go up to correct them. Anyway, they had a lot of eggs, so they just needed to slowly get rid of them.


    "Then An An, how about you help me?" He had never taught his children, but he had often let his son do it.


    When Bo Anjin heard his father''s request, he immediately took it and hummed, "Dad is indeed useless. Look at me, I must be really strong."


    After Bo Anjin finished praising himself, he took out an egg from the side clip and knocked it on the side of the bowl. The impact was too small and it did not shatter.


    Bo Anjin only felt a little embarrassed. After all, his father was watching by the side, so he exerted strength, causing the egg white and egg yolk to directly enter the bowl before he could take out the egg dispenser.


    "Father, this ¡­" Bo Anjin lowered his head and looked at the egg at the bottom of the bowl. He looked a little embarrassed.


    After all, he had just mocked his father, and he had failed in the blink of an eye.


    If Bo Anjin was a little older, he would know that this was the feeling of having failed because of being postured.


    "It doesn''t matter, Daddy just failed. Anthea will try again." He did not say it was safe, but comforted him and asked him to try again.


    When Bo Anjin saw that his father didn''t say anything about him, he felt quite uncomfortable. After all, he had said something about him just now.


    This time, he did not let the egg yolk and the white egg directly reach the bottom of the bowl. However, when he poured the yolk and the egg white into the dividing machine, with a shake of his hand, the yolk and the white egg still entered the bottom of the bowl together.


    "Father ¡­" Bo Anjin was on the verge of tears, but his expression was one of shyness.


    "Knowing it isn''t easy anymore?" Only now did he reveal the reason he wanted to make Bo Anjin understand the situation, "So, there are some things that seem simple, so please do not casually comment on them."


    "Of course, I''m your father. It doesn''t matter if you just casually say it, but in front of outsiders, don''t say it like that."


    It wasn''t that he couldn''t protect her, but that she would learn to grow up sooner or later.


    Qiao Chunan listened to the conversation between Xi Shuiyan and Bo Anjin. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up and his expression was very gentle.


    "Then is it possible for me to tell you what I know?" Bo Anjin was also a very stubborn child. Since he couldn''t say what he had never done before, then shouldn''t he say what he had done?


    "An An, not every child wants you to be so good. Some things you can do, do not mean that other children can do them."


    Bo Anjin somewhat understood his father''s words. It was like running, no one in his class could compare to him.


    "Then I can''t say anything." Bo Anjin was a bit depressed, but he didn''t want to say anything about it. He just didn''t want to let it go.


    When Qiao Chun An heard this, he knew that Bo Anjin had a little temper, so he walked over and rubbed Bo Anjin''s head. He lowered his head and looked at Bo Anjin as he said in a very gentle tone, "Then why do you want to speak about it, An An?"


    "Are you comfortable after you finish talking?" Jojouan did not object to the child''s willingness to show himself, but it was not good to overdo it.


    "Mmm mmm mmm, after saying those words, I feel very comfortable in my heart." Bo Anjin nodded his head, agreeing with Qiao Chunan''s words.


    After he finished speaking, he felt extremely happy in his heart.


    "After that, have you ever thought that what you just said would make your father uncomfortable? or will it make your classmates uncomfortable? " Qiao Chu An didn''t feel that it was a bad feeling. Instead, he used another convenient method.


    "Would Anthea be unhappy if someone said she was stupid?" Qiao Chu An picked An An up and placed her on a nearby stool. Then, he sat down beside her.


    "Then I say, An''an is stupid. Will he be happy? Will he not want to talk to me?" Although he said those words, Qiao Chun An''s face was very calm.


    This was the first time Bo Anjin had seen Qiao Chuan''s expression. He did not know why, but he felt some fear in his heart, but most of all, he felt sad.

 C129

    "Mom, I will be very obedient. Don''t leave me behind." Bo Anjin started to cry all of a sudden.


    Seeing Bo Anjin crying like this, Qiao Chu An was at a loss on what to do. She had no idea how the situation had turned out like this.


    "An An, don''t cry, your mother didn''t leave you."


    Bian Shuang saw that Bian An''s face was full of tears, so she went forward to hug him. Seeing the look of helplessness on his face, she held him in her arms too.


    "Your mother didn''t reject you. She was just trying to reason with you." Xi Xiurin continued to comfort Bo Anjin.


    At first, Qiao Chun An was a little confused. Then, he reacted and said softly, "Mom didn''t reject you. Mom just made you misunderstand. Don''t be sad, okay?"


    Bo An-jin did not react for a long time. When he heard Qiao Chuanan''s words, he looked at him with his big watery eyes and said with a tearful voice, "Is what mother just said true? You won''t leave me? "


    "I won''t, An An is so cute. Even if I throw your father away, I won''t throw you away." Qiao Chunan struggled out from the Embroidered Witch''s embrace and took her into his arms. His expression was very serious.


    Qiao Chuan''s words succeeded in making Xi Xiuran choke.


    What did he do wrong?


    Why would they bring the topic to him?


    "Then mother will hook up with me so that I will believe what you said."


    In the end, Qiao Chunan and Bo Anjin hooked up to coax him.


    The afternoon''s worth of time between father and son ended, and both Qiao Chunan and Xi Xiuran were exhausted.


    This time, Qiao Chun An clearly understood how much Bo An Jin cared about the mother and son relationship and how much she cared about her.


    Although the whole weekend was a bit noisy, but in the end, the family of three still had a very happy life.


    The distance between the family of three closed once again.


    It was another day of work after the weekend.


    As usual, Qiao Chunan made the thin cultivator put him down halfway. When he was about to arrive at the GM''s office, he was stopped by Gu Nan who was waiting for her.


    Qiao Chunan''s face darkened when he saw Gu Nan.


    She had a bad impression of Gu Nan. He was the person she hated the most, especially after she went to his company to discuss things.


    Gu Nan looked at Qiao Chunan''s cold face and didn''t say anything else. He just said, "Qiao Chunan, I know how you pay off your debts."


    Hearing Gu Nan''s words, Qiao Chun An''s face did not show much emotion, it was still as cold as before. "What do you want to say? Just say it, I don''t want to walk in circles with you."


    Knowing how she was going to pay off her debts was something she had already seen through.


    This sort of thing couldn''t threaten her now.


    If he wanted to use this matter to scare her, then he was wrong.


    "I know how you paid your debt. If you want to know what I know, then come with me. Otherwise, I will announce how you paid your debt."


    Gu Nan had a smile on his face, as if his suggestion would not be rejected by Qiao Chu An.


    Qiao Chunan wanted to reject her, but then he thought that she should know from Gu Nan who that man was and how her child was doing.


    After thinking about it, he decided not to say anything else.


    "So long as I follow you over, you''ll return the information in your hands to me?" Qiao Chunan probed a bit. Although she didn''t think Gu Nan knew who that person was, she didn''t want to give up the chance to know how her child was doing.


    When Gu Nan saw Qiao Chunan''s moved expression, a strange smile appeared on his face. He immediately opened the door and let Qiao Chunan sit inside.


    Qiao Chunan looked at the seat on the passenger seat that Gu Nan had opened, and his expression turned ugly.


    He did not sit on it.


    "What is it? When I was still your fiance, this position was something that you''ve always occupied. Why do you dislike this position now? " Gu Nan said this with obvious mockery on his face.


    "Eh, it''s fine if you don''t want to sit." Gu Nan thought about what he had planned for today, so he didn''t say anything and just opened the door to the back seat.


    Qiao Chuan saw the strange smile on Gu Nan''s face and became vigilant. At the same time, he used the phone as a shortcut.


    As long as Gu Nan acted in any other way, she could get him to call the police.


    After he finished all of this, he calmed down and got into Gu Nan''s car.


    Gu Nan saw Qiao Chunan take out his phone with a mocking smile on his face. "What?" Worried that I would harm you? "


    "I''m calling the company for leave. It''s Monday, so I don''t want you to go to the company." Gu Nan mocked Qiao Chuan, and he sent Qiao Chuan back.


    Before, when she was still the Qiao family''s daughter, she naturally didn''t have to work. Now, she was just a employee. If she didn''t work, she wouldn''t even be able to support herself.


    "Heh ~ If you want to be like me, then you can resign." Gu Nan''s voice was surprisingly gentle. "I can raise you."


    The two of them knew very well which kind of nurturing he was referring to.


    Hearing Gu Nan''s words, Qiao Chun An''s face turned ugly. At the same time, he remembered what happened at Gu Nan''s company.


    If it weren''t for the fact that her child was too important to her, he wouldn''t have wanted to get into Gu Nan''s car.


    "Hello, Division Minister. I have something to attend to today and can only come over at noon. If you need anything, just leave it on my desk." Qiao Chunan ignored Gu Nan''s words and called his department head.


    The Minister was concerned about Qiao Chu An. Qiao Chu An did not explain anything. He just said that he had some private matters to settle.


    The fact that Qiao Chuan An applied for leave had already caused some dissatisfaction in the company. However, after the incident last time, this dissatisfaction was suppressed.


    He knew it wasn''t good to ask for another leave of absence, but there were some things she didn''t care about.


    After the call, Gu Nan parked his car in the parking lot of a clubhouse called Red Maple.


    Qiao Chunan and Gu Nan walked into the Red Maple Club together, and the waiter brought them into the private room.


    "Chu An, what would you like to drink?" There were a lot of services provided, but Gu Nan had brought Qiao Chun An in to discuss some matters.


    After all, the security of the clubhouse was generally better.


    Qiao Chunan didn''t want to order, but when he saw that Gu Nan didn''t want to order, he decided to order a cup of tea.


    Very quickly, the tea was served.


    "Chu An, how long do you think it''s been since we sat down and started chatting?" Gu Nan didn''t speak of the matter directly. Instead, he spoke of the things that had happened between them in the past.

 C130

    However, Qiao Chunan didn''t recall the past together with Gu Nan. Instead, he listened with an ugly expression as he recounted the past.


    "Are you done?" There was a certain coldness in his expression. She felt disgusted by what he said about the past.


    She had thought that the two of them had some feelings for each other, but the reason for the Qiao family''s actions was because the Gu family was at the most important point.


    He even heard from Su Ran that Gu Nan had been pretending when he was with her before.


    The more she talked about the past, the more silly she felt.


    Otherwise, why couldn''t he see through her sincere or fake intentions?


    "Chu An, you weren''t like this before. Although you were cold in the past, you don''t want to bite anyone like this." Gu Nan poured water for Qiao Chunan as he smiled.


    Seeing the smile on Gu Nan''s face, Qiao Chun An felt foolish. He had really gone with Gu Nan.


    "If you don''t tell me, I''ll leave right now. As for you wanting to let go of the thing in your hand, you can put it away." Seeing that Gu Nan was looking left and right, he knew that there was a high chance that he did not have any decisive information.


    When Gu Nan saw Qiao Chunan''s expression, the warmth on his face was completely gone.


    "What is it? "You don''t believe that I have the information?" The corner of Gu Nan''s mouth curled up slightly, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. "Look and see, is that you?"


    After saying this, Gu Nan threw a photo at Qiao Chunan''s face.


    He took the picture off his face.


    She looked at the photo. It was a picture of the man she''d been taken to.


    Although it was a bit blurry, she immediately recognized it.


    Gu Nan saw the change in Qiao Chunan''s expression, so he thought he had grasped Qiao Chunan''s weakness. He crossed his legs and sat on the sofa with a confident smile on his face. "I believe I didn''t lie to you this time, right?"


    "As long as you follow me, I promise I won''t publish this information." Gu Nan didn''t like Qiao Chuan An, but he had always treated him like his own.


    Originally, Qiao Chunan had escaped his control, but now that he was back, he wanted to take control of Qiao Chunan.


    Gu Nan''s heart was very gloomy, especially after getting close to Qiao Chunan. He felt that those days had been a terrible blow to his dignity.


    Hearing Gu Nan''s words, Qiao Chun An''s face became very ugly. She felt very uncomfortable looking at Gu Nan.


    Especially when she thought back to when her father was in trouble and she hadn''t even gone through the Gu Clan''s door. She even had the thought of perishing together with the Gu Clan.


    Later on, she thought about her father in prison, and only then did she survive.


    "Gu Nan, you''re dreaming!" He stood up and prepared to leave.


    Gu Nan grabbed Qiao Chunan''s hand and pushed him back into his seat. Then he sat back down.


    "Chu An, I don''t want to use force. Let''s talk about the past and try to improve our relationship." Gu Nan had a gloomy smile on his face. He looked at Qiao Chuan An viciously.


    Qiao Chun An looked at Gu Nan and thought back to what she had done to him in Gu Nan''s company.


    He was a little nervous, so he called the Shura.


    However, the call did not get picked up. Qiao Chunan simply hung up and repeated the process twice.


    Jojouan thought that with his intelligence, he would understand what was going on.


    It was still a little strange for the thin elementalist to know that Qiao Chuan An was on leave, but he didn''t say much.


    In less than an hour, he had made two calls.


    Naturally, he knew what this meant.


    He had installed a GPS system in Qiao Chu An''s phone, and this was something that Qiao Chu An knew as well.


    However, she didn''t feel that this was the thin Xiuran infringing on his privacy. Instead, she knew that she was protecting her and trying her best to protect Bo Anjin.


    This was why George Chu''an had set the phone number of the meniscus as the shortcut key.


    Persephone would know where she was at the first possible moment.


    After receiving the call from Jocelyn, he immediately rushed over.


    At the same time, Qiao Chunan was fighting with Gu Nan.


    Qiao Chuan did not answer that Gu Nan wanted her to be his man.


    Not mentioning being his person, she would only vent her anger now if she wanted to kill him.


    Gu Nan was talking about their past, and Qiao Chun An just responded occasionally.


    Gu Nan saw this and thought that Qiao Chunan still had feelings for him. Just as he was about to step forward, someone knocked on the door.


    The impatience on Gu Nan''s face spilled out, but the knocking continued. There was nothing he could do, so he went out and opened the door.


    After the door was opened, Gu Nan saw the thin one, and his face immediately darkened. He gloomily looked at Qiao Chunan, the meaning in his eyes obvious.


    Did you call him over?


    Gu Nan knew it was Qiao Chuan''s call without a need for an answer.


    But he looked at her the whole time and did not see when she had notified anyone.


    However, he was not thinking about that now. With the advent of cultivation, he knew that he would not be able to complete the mission he had come up with today.


    "Young Master Bo, why do you want to come here?" Gu Nan stood against the door, not wanting to let Xi Qiulin in.


    However, Qiao Chunan had to wait for a long time before he could get the thin Shura to come. He definitely wouldn''t remain silent.


    "I''m here to pick up my girlfriend." He pushed Gu Nan away and went into the box, pulling her out of the box by the hand.


    Gu Nan opened his mouth, wanting to tell Baisu to stop.


    However, Ai Hui was unable to open his mouth because of Ai Hui''s imposing manner.


    Not to mention that the power behind Bo Xiuran was much more powerful than Gu Nan''s, so no matter how much he hated him, he couldn''t say anything else.


    Qiao Chunan didn''t say anything to Gu Nan, he just took off the photo that Gu Nan had left on the table before he went to open the door.


    Bian Shuang held Qiao Chunan''s hand and walked him all the way to the parking lot.


    Knowing that they were in the car, the thin cultivator''s face eased up, but his voice was still cold. "Why did you come out alone to see Gu Nan? Aren''t you afraid that something might happen? "


    Arriving at the clubhouse and seeing that it was Gu Nan who opened the box, the thin cultivator had a bit of fear in his heart. He was afraid that Qiao Chunan would be injured.


    When she saw that he was safe, she felt relieved, but at the same time, she did not understand. How could she just ignore her own safety like that?


    "What can happen to me? Didn''t I contact you? " Qiao Chunan didn''t take much notice of what Xi Xiuran had said. She had a clue now, and as long as she followed it, she would definitely be able to find her child.


    As a mother, she wanted to see her child. She didn''t think she was wrong.


    She wouldn''t bother her child because she wanted to know how he was doing.
