You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Uncle Liu closed the car door, got into the passenger seat, and turned around to reply, "Everything is arranged. The legal team is already waiting over there."

"OK."

Jiang Che nodded. "Let's go back to the apartment first. I'll go pick up Qinghe."

Uncle Liu hesitated for a moment, "Young Master, isn't it inappropriate to bring Miss Su to that kind of scene?"

After all, they're going to raid the house and settle accounts. What if they scare that girl?

Jiang Che turned to look at the fleeting street scene outside the window, his eyes revealing a coldness.

"Some things, she has to experience them herself before she can untangle her knots in her heart."

If Su Qinghe doesn't hear those people get their comeuppance with her own ears, she'll live in the shadows for the rest of her life.

Besides, he couldn't bear to leave her alone at home.

What if this little girl starts overthinking things again when she's alone?

Upon hearing this, Uncle Liu didn't say anything more and instructed the driver to speed up.

The convoy sped along and soon arrived at the apartment building.

Jiang Che told Uncle Liu and the others to wait downstairs, then turned around and went upstairs.

He took out his key and opened the door, just as he was about to call Su Qinghe's name, a slender figure stumbled and rushed over from the living room.

"Jiang Che!"

Su Qinghe had clearly been waiting at the door to listen for any movement.

In her haste, she didn't have time to put on her shoes and ran barefoot on the floor. Jiang Che quickly took two steps forward to catch her, and then her two small hands tightly hugged his waist.

She rubbed her head against his chest, just like a clingy little kitten.

"Why are you only getting back now...?"

The little girl tearfully accused him, her soft, sweet voice melting hearts.

Jiang Che put his arm around her back to prevent her from losing her balance and falling, and then closed the door behind him.

"It's only a few o'clock and you're already complaining about being late?" He looked down at the person in his arms, reached out and pinched her cheek, teasing her with a hint of helplessness, "If I had evening self-study, it would take me another two or three hours to get back."

Su Qinghe tilted her head back and "looked" at him, tears welling up in her eyes but not falling, clinging to her eyelashes. "But, but I miss you..."

She pressed her face against Jiang Che's chest, listening to the strong heartbeat coming from his chest, and the unease in her heart slowly dissipated.

Having not seen him all afternoon, she stayed alone in this empty house, constantly afraid that Jiang Che might suddenly abandon her.

Only by holding him tightly and feeling his body temperature did she feel alive and exist in this world.

Jiang Che had planned to push her away because he had important business to attend to later.

But the girl clearly had no intention of letting go, clinging tightly to his waist, so he gave up and gently hugged her back instead.

The two of them stood at the door, embracing each other peacefully, like door gods.

After a while, Jiang Che patted her back, "Okay, relax first, I'm going to change my shoes."

Su Qinghe shook her head, her two hands clasped tightly together, refusing to let go.

"No, change it like this."

Jiang Che smiled helplessly, "Alright, alright, let's switch like this, as long as you don't mind the trouble."

He dragged a large pendant and laboriously moved to the shoe cabinet to change into slippers.

Then, like carrying a child, he reached out and supported her legs, carrying her directly onto the sofa in a princess carry.

"Were you a good girl at home this afternoon?"

Jiang Che sat down next to her and casually took her cold little hand and rubbed it in his palm.

Su Qinghe nodded obediently, "Good girl."

"Didn't you do any work?"

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes and scanned the room.

The floor was almost exactly the same as before he left, and the rest of the room was also much the same as before, so it seemed that the girl really hadn't messed things up anymore.

"Really, no."

Su Qinghe held up three fingers and solemnly swore, "I just sat on the sofa listening to online classes, I didn't go anywhere."

To prove she wasn't lying, she pointed to the phone next to her, which was still showing a math class video.

Seeing this, Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, that's more like it."

He rubbed Su Qinghe's hands again, and only let go after feeling the temperature rise slightly.

"Go change your clothes." He patted the girl's head.

Su Qinghe paused for a moment, blinking her eyes in confusion. "Change clothes? Are we going out?"

It should be completely dark outside by now.

Moreover, she heard from the weather forecast that it might snow outside tonight, and it's so cold.

Jiang Che got up and went back into the house, took off his school uniform, changed into a jacket and put it back on. "Okay, I'll take you somewhere."

Su Qinghe immediately gripped the hem of her clothes nervously, "Where are we going?"

She now has a natural fear of going out.

She's fine with staying in familiar places with Jiang Che, like home, or going out to the supermarket, but any unfamiliar environment makes her feel extremely uneasy.

Especially if you have to meet strangers.

Jiang Che saw through her concerns, walked over and patted her head, "Don't be afraid, this isn't a strange place, and I'll stay with you the whole time."

Under Su Qinghe's questioning gaze, he bent down slightly and leaned close to her ear, a mysterious smile curving his lips.

"I'm going to take you back what rightfully belongs to you."

Su Qinghe's heart skipped a beat.

What belonged to her?

Besides Jiang Che, what else does she have that truly belongs to her?

But since Jiang Che said he was going, she would go.

Even if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire, as long as he's by her side, she's not afraid.

"it is good."

Su Qinghe nodded obediently, groped her way to her feet, and walked towards the bedroom.

"Wear something warm, it's cold outside," Jiang Che reminded him worriedly.

"Okay."

A short while later, Su Qinghe came out after changing her clothes.

She wore a white down jacket with a fluffy collar on the hood, which made her small, delicate face look even more exquisite and adorable.

She paired it with fleece-lined jeans and a pair of brand-new snow boots.

She was wrapped up tightly, like a freshly cooked glutinous rice ball, soft, sticky, and adorable.

Jiang Che walked over and zipped her down jacket all the way up until it covered her chin before stopping.

"Let's go."

He took Su Qinghe's hand with practiced ease, much more composed than when he first held her hand.

It was as if Su Qinghe really was his girlfriend, and holding hands became perfectly normal.

The two walked out of the apartment and, as soon as they reached the entrance of the building downstairs, they found that Uncle Liu had already opened the car door and was waiting for them.

"Miss Su," Uncle Liu greeted her politely.

When Jiang Che came downstairs, he mentioned Uncle Liu to Su Qinghe. She politely bowed slightly in the direction of his voice and greeted him sweetly, "Hello, Uncle Liu."

Jiang Che nodded slightly to Uncle Liu, then shielded Su Qinghe's head, shoved her into the back seat, and sat down himself.

"Let's drive," Jiang Che said casually.

"Yes, young master."

The convoy started again and slowly drove away from the residential area, heading towards the villa area on the outskirts of the city.

Sitting in the car, Su Qinghe didn't know where she was going, but the car was driving very smoothly, and she could smell Jiang Che's familiar scent beside her, so her nervousness wasn't so strong.
