With Zhou Qishen as a cover, Chen Zhijing's attitude changed. Even when they met again afterwards, he maintained a friendly demeanor and a proper distance, which truly solved a concern that had been bothering Jiang Xiao.

So many years have passed, Jiang Xiao had long forgotten some of the details, so how could she remember someone she had only met once?

If she hadn't returned to the original location and hadn't been reminded by the other party, she might really not have remembered it. Fortunately, Zhou Qishen could remember it so clearly.

Jiang Xiao suddenly thought of something, and her delicate eyebrows wrinkled, showing a hint of surprise. She looked at the person in front of her and asked, "Then didn't you recognize me from the beginning?"

Zhou Qishen lowered his eyes and smiled, looking at her eyes full of tenderness, and said: "Otherwise why would I care about you at that time?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao was stunned at first, then she couldn't help but lower her head and smiled, raising her eyebrows: "Does it mean you won't care if it's someone else?"

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Zhou Qishen's smile deepened, as if he found her question amusing. He stared into her eyes and finished his words in a hoarse voice: "Leave it to the police."

This reminded Jiang Xiao of what happened on the day they first met in the parking lot. No, it should be said that it happened on the day they met again. Indeed, it was really worth calling the police. When Zhou Qishen softened his heart and agreed to take her home, she felt strange.

Now think about it, who would bring a stranger home for no reason? It turned out that Zhou Qishen had known her for a long time.

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but sighed: "To be honest, when we first met, I really didn't expect that we had met before, and I didn't expect that you would still remember me after so long. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't..."

At this point, Jiang Xiao paused, as if she couldn't help it, and started laughing again with her hand on her forehead. She was really embarrassing herself. The first time they met, she called Zhou Qishen her boyfriend, and the second time they met, she called him husband.

I have to admit that the fate between them is really wonderful.

Zhou Qishen's gaze was fixed on the shallow dimple at the corner of her mouth, and gradually became obscure.

Of course he remembered her. After all, she was a star with high exposure. Whether it was the advertisements throughout the streets or private celebrity gatherings, he would always pay attention to news about her, intentionally or unintentionally.

But this was just his one-way understanding of her. For Jiang Xiao, she might know that he existed in the circle, but there were not many ways to get to know him. And according to common sense, she didn't need to get to know a stranger too much.

Zhou Qishen was very clear about this truth, so he didn't blame her for not remembering him. No one had to keep a person in their memory, and it didn't matter if they forgot. But the deeper his feelings for her, the more he demanded.

He hoped that she would remember him, but unfortunately, reality was often contrary to one's wishes.

He was already very happy that she could remember part of it.

Zhou Qishen's eyelids drooped for a second, but only for a moment, and then he started to smile again, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth: "Beautiful and interesting people are always memorable."

Jiang Xiao leaned against the door and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye: "Then did you propose a marriage agreement because I'm beautiful and interesting?"

Jiang Xiao paused for a second, then remembered something and answered herself, "Oh no, I almost forgot. You said that my family has been pressuring me lately. In your eyes, I should be just a tool for emergencies. And you also said that it doesn't matter who I marry."

Hearing this, Zhou Qishen's expression became a little complicated, and he said: "Xiaoxiao, what I said doesn't mean that I will really marry another woman. If I really had such an idea, I would have married someone else a long time ago. How could I be single until now?"

Jiang Xiao pretended to be angry and frowned, then asked back without any emotion, "Oh, really?"

Seeing that she didn't understand the implication of his words, Zhou Qishen paused and remained silent for a long time. When he spoke again, his hurried voice gradually turned into a calm inquiry: "Of course, the reason I said that was just to let you let down your guard."

He just took advantage of her situation at the time and made excessive demands, otherwise it would be difficult for her to marry him.

Jiang Xiao looked dazed, and recalled what Liang Cheng said in Hengdian. Liang Cheng said that Zhou Qishen had been interested in her for a long time...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao touched the tip of her nose and was speechless.

After a while of stalemate, Zhou Qishen suddenly said, "Don't you need me to stay tonight?"

This topic was too far-fetched. Jiang Xiao's eyes widened slightly, and she recalled the time when she was in poor health and shamelessly "begged" him to stay and sleep with her. A trace of embarrassment flashed under her thick eyelashes, but she quickly calmed down, "Well, that's not necessary."

The main thing is to throw it away after use and turn your back on people.

Perhaps she felt that saying just a few words would make her seem unkind, so in order to avoid misunderstanding, Jiang Xiao added: "Didn't Aunt Huang prepare a room for you? It's just for one night, there's no need for you to stay."

"Okay, sure, that's fine." Zhou Qishen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said several words in a row while laughing.

He added: "In that case, you have to let me go in and get my luggage."

Jiang Xiao pursed her lips, a little surprised that he didn't take the luggage to his room just now, so she took a step back: "Then come in."

Just as Zhou Qishen was about to take action, a mellow and powerful voice came from not far away: "What are you doing standing at the door?"

Mr. Xu slowly walked up the stairs, his suspicious eyes swept between the two of them, "Didn't you say you were going to wash up and rest?"

Jiang Xiao looked over when she heard the voice, a trace of inexplicable guilt flashed across her face, and she quickly explained, "He's here to pick up the luggage."

Mr. Xu showed an expression of "I see." He then glanced at Zhou Qishen who was about to walk into the room. When he spoke again, it was with a warning tone: "After you get your luggage, go back and rest quickly."

"Okay, teacher." Zhou Qishen agreed obediently.

Seeing this, Mr. Xu returned to his room with peace of mind.

After watching Mr. Xu leave, Jiang Xiao winked at Zhou Qishen and asked him to come in and get his luggage.

The house was brightly lit, and two suitcases were quietly placed in the corner. Zhou Qishen took the black suitcase and was about to leave, but his eyes accidentally swept across the back of Jiang Xiao's neck and frowned: "What's wrong with your neck?"

Jiang Xiao subconsciously raised her hand and touched it, a little confused: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Qishen took two steps towards her and took a closer look. He found a red bump on the back of her neck, which looked like a mosquito bite. Because her skin was as white as snow, the red spot was very eye-catching.

"It should be a mosquito bite." Zhou Qishen told his guess truthfully.

Although she was bitten, it didn't feel itchy, so Jiang Xiao didn't take it to heart. Just as she was about to open her mouth to chase the man away, she raised her eyes and met Zhou Qi's deep, ink-black eyes.

He looked at her and sighed softly: "Xiaoxiao, we haven't seen each other for a while."

"Hmm?" Jiang Xiao was a little confused.

They haven't seen each other for a while indeed. It's been almost a week since they parted in Beijing, right? She couldn't remember it clearly, but so what?

Zhou Qishen reached out, wrapped his strong arms around her slender waist, placed his palm on her cheek, raised his thin lips slightly, and said slowly: "So you really don't need me to accompany you tonight?"

The force around Jiang Xiao's waist suddenly tightened, and then she realized what he meant by his sudden words just now. It turned out that they were based on what happened in Hengdian before.

"I was sick then, but I'm fine now." Jiang Xiao pushed his arm and mentioned Mr. Xu to suppress his impulse: "Besides, my grandfather said that we have to sleep separately here."

It is natural for a couple to sleep together, but because they had concealed it from their elders first, it is understandable that her grandfather cannot accept that his granddaughter sleeps with his student for the time being. If they don't sleep in the same room, then so be it. She doesn't think it's a big deal.

She originally thought that Zhou Qishen had the same idea as her and wanted to follow the wishes of his elders, but who would have thought that he actually wanted to disobey her grandfather.

"Okay, I'll just ask you a question. If you answer truthfully, I'll leave." Zhou Qishen held her waist and refused to let go, as if he was determined that he would only leave if she answered his question.

Jiang Xiao was amused by his childish behavior, but could only follow his words and say, "Ask."

"Why did you agree to a marriage agreement with me? I don't believe you did it to get revenge on Zhou Wenting."

Jiang Xiao's eyes widened. She didn't expect that his question would be this. Not only did he ask, but he also blocked her way out. At that moment, she seemed to be frozen, unable to move.

Yes, the reason that she is willing to sacrifice the rest of her life just to get revenge on her ex-boyfriend is really an insult to her intelligence.

Jiang Xiao was speechless, and said somewhat disappointedly: "Okay, okay, you never believed what I said."

"That also requires that what you say can convince people." Zhou Qishen curled his lips and smiled.

"Can I not tell you? Isn't it enough as long as the result is what you want? Does the reason matter? Although I do have other purposes, I will never do anything to harm you."

Even if Jiang Xiao was beaten to death, she would never tell Zhou Qishen about the existence of the system, so apart from laughing it off, she couldn't reveal a single word to Zhou Qishen.

Zhou Qishen saw that she was hesitant to speak, and understood that she might have something to hide, but from her reaction, at least it could be confirmed that she did not agree to the marriage agreement just for Zhou Wenting. As long as this was confirmed, other concealments seemed to become less important.

"I can ignore your reasons and stop asking, but..."

He paused for too long, and Jiang Xiao couldn't help but ask, "But what?"

"I just want to be by your side, do you understand me?"

"Huh?" The surprise in Jiang Xiao's eyes slowly turned into confusion, and then gradually became unbelievable.

"From the moment we met again, I didn't want to miss you, nor did I want to give you to someone else." Zhou Qishen leaned over and stared at her, speaking word by word: "Just as you said, I want the outcome between us to be what I want."

As the two looked at each other, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but hold her breath. His pair of dark eyes were as black as the night, and she couldn't see the bottom when she looked at him.

The next second, the man's forehead and nose touched hers, with a slight warmth, like an electric current passing through his limbs and bones, and he said, "I don't want to get divorced in this life."

At the same time, Jiang Xiao heard the system prompt sound in her mind after a long time.
