Chapter 3, how can you know the joy of fish if you are not a fish

Thus, although the butler slowed down, the car did not come to a stop

Is it not your intention

Cheng An'an had grown accustomed to his emotions not being outwardly expressed, yet now this lack of extraneous sentiment left her somewhat at a loss... but continuing to remain in this stalemate...

Since you, General Qin, are getting engaged, it seems I should also maintain a distance from you, General Qin

Seeing her expression, one can tell that the two have quarreled again. Today is her day of triumphant return, yet she was thrown onto the street by Qin Mo in the middle of the night. It is best if no paparazzi captured this moment; otherwise, one can only imagine how ugly the headlines in tomorrow's newspapers would be

Qin Mo furrowed his brow, neither confirming nor denying, "It is not my intention"

He held a cigarette between his fingertips, flickering dimly.

Fortunately, there were not many cars on the road late at night. A vehicle behind was following at a considerable distance. When it saw someone jump out of a car ahead, it slammed on the brakes and nearly hit Cheng An'an, who was so startled that he immediately shouted, "Are you crazy!"

Cheng An'an was taken aback, her complexion slightly pale.

You do know that I have a shoot tomorrow. I'm going to sleep now, you take care of yourself, and remember to close the door properly. " After saying this, she ignored him and went straight into the bedroom, closed the door, and went to sleep.

Cheng An'an looked at the smile at the corner of his mouth, just waiting for his next words, "Get lost"

Upon hearing her words, George's expression changed immediately. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the skin was indeed broken, with some blood and a bruise. Cheng An'an's complexion was so fair and translucent that the wound appeared rather shocking.

However, this unintentional action unexpectedly caused Qin Mo's expression to darken

"No need." Qin Mo interrupted him, "Drive back to the old residence."

A luxurious RV has been parked at the back door for a while, with the rear window open, allowing the fine strands of rain to be blown inside, dampening the sleeves of the man who is fastening his exquisite cuff.

In the dead of night, how could Qin Mo possibly leave her behind? It was merely a hope that she would realize her current isolated and helpless situation and voluntarily soften her stance, thus continuing to obediently stay by his side

Even if it is not your intention, it is still something you have implicitly accepted

His tone was gentle, yet there was a cold severity between his brows. The butler in the front seat sensed that something was amiss and gently cleared his throat

Cheng An'an quietly listened to Qiao's scolding before tugging at his sleeve and pointing to her left foot, "Help me bandage it, make it look as serious as possible"

As soon as she heard the sound of the engine behind her, Cheng An'an turned around and saw that the luxurious RV had already disappeared into the distance

Cheng An'an is a woman of great discernment. When he promised her this status, she no longer dared to seek anything else. During the six years by his side, he gradually taught her how to conduct herself, how to see through hidden enemies, and how to strike a fatal blow.

Cheng An'an let out a cold snort, raised her fingertip, and tilted his chin, "Are you really going to get engaged to Su Xintong?"

As Cheng An'an turned around, she saw the expression on his face, and only then did she remember what she had just done. She quickly raised her arm and leaned closer to him, saying, "If you don't mind me leaning all over you, then I have no objections."

Seemingly having discerned her thoughts, he paused for a moment and coldly said, "Why aren't you coming over yet?" Although it is merely a light drizzle, prolonged exposure will still lead to catching a chill

Cheng An'an naturally understood, yet deliberately pretended not to know, and abruptly pulled open the car door and jumped out.

With this thought in mind, she stopped a few steps away, gazing at Qin Mo with her innocent eyes, yet she did not take another step forward

Why make things difficult for yourself

The moment she opened the car door, Qin Mo's expression changed. Realizing what she was about to do, he reached out to pull her back, but he had already missed the best opportunity, watching helplessly as her fingertips brushed against his without being able to hold her back

Cheng An'an leaned against him, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the red lip print on his shirt. Unable to resist her good mood, she reached out to touch it and asked, "So, Miss Su, are you feeling jealous?"

Thank you. She humbly expressed her gratitude and casually added: I jumped off the train

Cheng An'an repeated these words in her heart, yet her disdain only grew. In this world, if he wished it, no one could defy his will. Who would dare to manipulate his life

Noticing the man's action, the butler acting as the driver inquired, "Should I go and invite Miss Cheng out?"

Cheng An'an coldly looked back and asked, "Do you have any medicine?"

Furrowing his brow slightly, he glanced at his watch and was already beginning to feel a bit impatient

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows; it was truly a once-in-a-century occurrence to hear her explain herself. However, he remained impassive on the surface and simply opened the car door, coldly instructing, "If you don't get in, you can walk back yourself."

The car was parked not far away. Cheng An'an glanced over and saw Qin Mo looking at her through the rearview mirror. She raised her middle finger and stood up, supporting herself on her knee

Qin Mo lowered his head to glance at her hand, and without saying a word, he took off his own clothes and casually threw them onto the passenger seat before draping them over her. Noticing that she remained obedient, he reached out to touch her forehead, only to realize that it was slightly warm, likely indicating that the effects of the alcohol had not yet worn off.

And he indeed did not disappoint her expectations, pushing her away and淡淡地 commanding, "Get out of the car."

As Cheng An'an opened the door, she immediately saw the car, and upon noticing Qin Mo squinting his eyes while sizing her up, she felt a chill run down her spine, realizing that she might have gone a bit too far.

Qin Mo looked at her for a moment, then suddenly laughed, his long fingers gently tapping on the car window, one tap after another

What Qin Mo provided her with was not merely fame and fortune, nor vanity, but a love that Cheng An'an secretly cherished in her heart and could not share with anyone. To her, Qin Mo was merely a constant bed partner; if there was anything different, it was that her shelf life was relatively long, allowing him to sleep with her for six years without feeling bored to this day

As soon as the words were spoken, George was instantly petrified

Qin Mo seemed not to have heard, remaining silent for a moment before shaking his fingertips, watching the dust settle. He pressed his lips tightly and extinguished the glowing cigarette butt with his fingertip. "Give her another ten minutes..."

Seeing her expression was not good, his brows furrowed even tighter, "If you don't like it, I will clarify this matter tomorrow"

Initially, she agreed to follow him, until he said it was over, and that there would be no entanglements. But now, he is about to get engaged, and she is still by his side. Is she not to be his secret lover?

Almost simultaneously as the words fell, I saw that figure approaching with a small bag in hand

Indeed, acting in films has its benefits. Last time, during that fight scene, she jumped off the car more than ten times to achieve her current level of continuous arm and leg movements

She once had unrealistic fantasies, wondering if he might have even a slight affection for her... However, this dream did not last long before he personally crushed it with his fingertips, smiling as he placed the shattered pieces in front of her for her to admire

"Soul淡." She muttered a curse under her breath and took out her phone to call George

Qin Mo did not respond to her, but tightened his arms to lift her and place her on his lap. "Have you had enough fun tonight?"

The sky has darkened, and it has started to rain lightly again.

Qin Mo lowered his head to look at her, his expression focused and serious, "Cheng An'an, say it again!"

Although the car window had been securely closed by him, a wave of cold air suddenly intensified at this moment

Her eyes were as moist as if they contained water, with a slight intoxication that had yet to dissipate, her cheeks flushed, which stirred his heart and mind

Thinking of this, she stepped closer and said, "I didn't mean to stand you up; it's just that they all got drunk and wouldn't let me leave."

Next, it was inevitable that he would point at her forehead and curse at her. Cheng An'an had long since become accustomed to this, lowering her head and allowing him to vent his anger. When she felt that the time was about right, she finally jumped down from the sofa

Secretly relieved that Qin Mo still had no intention of getting out of the car, she simply turned around and left. Unfortunately, the heel of her shoe had broken, and as soon as her left foot hit the ground, a sharp pain shot through her. Looking down, she noticed that her left foot had been scraped at some point, and it was now burning with pain. Resolutely, she decided to go barefoot, tossing aside her shoes and limping forward.

Cheng An'an was stung by his seemingly weak words, and she raised her gaze to him, "How should we clarify this? Should we break off the engagement?"

I had anticipated she would say that, and Qin Mo pressed his lips together, becoming increasingly displeased, "Did I say that this is the end between us?"

He gently patted her and softly coaxed, "If you want to break off the engagement, then let it be."

However, he does not seem to have any intention of letting her go

Now, he is finally getting married. She has been by his side, smiling charmingly for so many years, and she can finally breathe without caution, no longer yearning for even a little warmth from him

The moment the door closed, all that could be heard was George shouting at the top of his lungs: "Cheng An'an, are you really happy like this!"

Cheng An'an covered her mouth and yawned, took a sip of the milk beside her, and casually said: "I had a quarrel with Qin Mo, and then he asked me to get out of the car, so I just left."

Cheng An'an's temper flared up in an instant, and after staring into his eyes for a long time, she suddenly calmed down. "Why bother?" After a pause, she added, "I am not anyone to you, so why should you accommodate my wishes? You are my benefactor, and everything should be according to your will.

Seeing George's ghostly expression, she rubbed her forehead and humorously explained: "Don't worry, it just looks more serious than it is. As long as you see I can still move freely, you know the problem isn't that big. But since it's not every day I get injured, wouldn't it be a waste not to make a fuss about it?"

Cheng An'an was taken aback, and the smile at the corners of her lips faded away, "How can one know the joy of fish if one is not a fish"

Seeing her gaze sharp enough to kill, the car owner merely cursed and retreated back into the driver's seat, making a turn before driving away

Or it can be said that they are indeed lovers

George scolded her all the way home, Cheng An'an has two apartments in City A, one of which Qin Mo often visits, while this one is solely hers, and Qin Mo rarely comes over.

He treats her exceptionally well, so well that even Cheng An'an, a woman known for her rationality and cold-bloodedness, cannot help but fall for him.

Cheng An'an then swayed as she sat into the car, the space left for her by Qin Mo was limited, and as soon as she sat down, she was pressed against him. Thinking about her damp arm and knowing that this man had a serious obsession with cleanliness, she instinctively turned to the side to avoid him

Cheng An'an seemed oblivious, tilting her head to look at him, "Do you really wish for me to beg you not to leave, not to ruin the beautiful moments we once shared?" After saying this, she found it amusing herself and let out a cold laugh.

George's movements came to a halt, growing increasingly exasperated, "It really isn't easy for you to get out of the car like this."

Seeing that she did not come over, he just stood there

This action startled George, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. "My little ancestor, you still have to film tomorrow. Can you take it easy? Ever since I signed you, I have developed heart problems even though I didn't have any before."

The butler paused for a moment, unable to help but furrow his brow, "Should I ... ... "

She raised her eyes to look at the pitch-black surroundings; the cold wind and rain indeed felt rather chilly

Upon her suggestion, George naturally understood her meaning and could only resign himself to fetching the medical kit. "I say, little ancestor, other stars are most afraid of getting injured. Yet here you are, deliberately causing a fuss. How did this happen!"

Cheng An'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief, shot him a cold glance for a moment, and then turned to open the door
