Madam Jiang was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, "You are living well here, why do you want to move out?"

Yan Shixun smiled and declined, "Madam, after all, we have come from afar and our identities are unknown. If something unexpected happens, it will easily cause trouble to your house. So I won't bother you. Thank you for your warm hospitality during this period. I am very grateful! Qinghe and I have already discussed it. We will pack up and move out tomorrow morning."

Madam Jiang wanted to continue trying to persuade her to stay, but Jiang Yaonian suddenly looked at Qinghe and asked, "Have you discussed it?"

Qing He was startled, because Yan Shixun had never told her about this...

But seeing that everyone was looking at her, she said, "Well, what my cousin means is what I mean!"

Madam Jiang continued to persuade him, "You are unfamiliar with the place, and it's not safe to live alone outside. Why bother looking for another place? You can talk to me every day, so that I won't be alone..."

Qinghe looked at Yan Shixun with some embarrassment...and when she saw that he didn't say anything, she smiled and shook her head!

Madam Jiang was somewhat surprised why Jiang Yaonian did not try to persuade him to stay, so she reminded him, "Nian'er, don't you have anything to say to Qinghe?"

Yan Shixun also asked in confusion: "Mr. Jiang, just now at the second gate, didn't you say you had something to say to Qinghe?"

Qinghe lowered her head uneasily.

Jiang Yaonian said calmly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Madam Jiang reminded him, "Qinghe will leave tomorrow..."

Jiang Yaonian looked at Qinghe and said, "It's okay, I can go find her."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Shixun suddenly lost his composure!

The reason why he wanted to move away was to avoid Jiang Yaonian! How could he be allowed to go to Qinghe privately again? So he hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiang, let's talk now. We may not be free tomorrow. An acquaintance invited Qinghe and me to visit his home tomorrow afternoon..."

Jiang Yaonian smiled and said, "Your acquaintance doesn't know Qinghe, so you can just go to the banquet by yourself. It won't affect my conversation with Qinghe."

Yan Shixun's face changed after hearing this, and he didn't say another word...

A sumptuous welcoming banquet ended in a dull atmosphere...

After dinner, Yan Shixun chatted with Mrs. Jiang about family matters for a while and then went back to rest.

Madam Jiang held Qing He's hand and continued to persuade her to stay, "Child, I'm really worried about you living alone... If nothing happens, it's fine. If something happens, I really can't explain to your grandmother..."

Qinghe didn't say anything.

She doesn't want to stay here!

Whenever I think of the night when I was tortured by Jiang Yaonian, a strong hatred arises in my heart!

Madam Jiang frowned and asked, "Did Nian'er offend you in some way? Or did the maids and servants in the mansion make you unhappy? Why do you suddenly want to leave?"

Jiang Yaonian said leisurely: "She is afraid that if she continues to live here, you will recognize her as your granddaughter-in-law..."

Madam Jiang asked in surprise, "Wouldn't it be good to be my granddaughter-in-law? You two had such a good relationship two years ago, how come it changed so suddenly?"

Qing He was afraid that she would not be able to get away if she continued to sit there, so she stood up and said, "Madam, it's getting late, you should go to bed early. I'll take my leave now!"

Old Madam Jiang hurriedly said, "Nian'er, you two go back together!" and then urged her grandson to accompany Qinghe back to the villa.

Jiang Yaonian stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back!"

The two left the upper room and came to the other courtyard.

Qing He thought Jiang Yaonian would take the opportunity to pester her, but Jiang Yaonian just told her to go to bed early and call the maid if she had any problems, then turned and left.

This actually surprised Qinghe... She didn't know what he was up to.

Just as she took off her hairpins and prepared to go to bed, she suddenly heard Yan Shixun whisper outside: "Qinghe, are you asleep?"

Qinghe quickly tidied herself up, opened the door and said, "Brother Shixun, is there anything else?"

Yan Shixun nodded and said, "Well, I have something in my heart that I want to tell you. Go back and put on some clothes, and let's go for a walk in the garden!"

Qing He turned around and closed the door, then walked down the stairs and said, "No need, let's go!"

The two of them came to the garden under the moonlight and took a walk in the night filled with the fragrance of flowers...

Yan Shixun said with great emotion: "You have suffered a lot during the days when I was away. Mr. Jiang must have made things difficult for you, right?"

Yan Shixun didn't believe that he would miss such a good opportunity!

From the first moment he saw Qing He after returning, he had already guessed something from her haggard face...

I know that the powerful and lustful tycoon must have made things difficult for her!

So he went out to find a house in the afternoon, as he didn't want Qinghe to see that despicable and shameless man every day!

Qing He stopped, looked at him gently and said, "No, Brother Shixun, you have done more for me! If it weren't for you, I would be the one who died of poisoning in the teahouse, and you were wrongly imprisoned because of me..."

Yan Shixun said sincerely: "Since grandma asked me to escort you back, I must protect your safety!"

Qing He was deeply moved...

Although this cousin has no blood relationship with her, he is very kind to her. She said sincerely: "Brother Shixun, although we are not related by blood, you are as good as my own brother..."

Yan Shixun looked at her affectionately and said, "If you are willing, I want to protect you for the rest of your life and let you live a carefree life..."

Qing He lowered her eyes sadly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I don't have the qualifications... You will definitely meet a perfect girl in the future..."

Yan Shixun interrupted her and said, "No! In my heart, you are the most perfect girl in the world!"

Qing He smiled sadly and shook her head, saying softly, "How could that be! I am alone, my parents are missing, and I am pregnant with a child of unknown origin. How can I be worthy of you?"

Moreover, she had been raped by a strange man who claimed to be her husband... From whichever perspective, Qinghe felt that she was not worthy of this handsome and well-born cousin.

Although this cousin had shown a strong liking for her since the first day they met, Qinghe knew that they were not a good match and had never expected to have such good luck.

Yan Shixun said sincerely: "No! You have always been a gentle and beautiful girl in my heart! Whether it is your appearance, temperament, or conversation, you are the type I like. I have never felt that you are unworthy of me! Besides, we are not really related by blood. When my grandmother comes, I will ask her to marry you to me!"

Qing He said in panic, "No! Cousin, don't tell grandma about this! I won't agree to marry you!"

Yan Shixun said angrily: "Why? Is it because my family background is not as good as Jiang Yaonian's?"

Qing He looked at him in disbelief and asked, "What did you say?"

Yan Shixun looked at her seriously and asked, "Are you in love with Jiang Yaonian?"
