Early the next morning, Jiang Luyao woke up from the pain.

She just wanted to turn over, but every nerve in her body seemed to be hurting, which made her suspect that she didn't have a lingering night with Qiao Mucheng last night, but was beaten up by him.

Maybe it was because she hadn't exercised for a long time, so after tossing a little longer last night, the muscles of her whole body began to protest.

But it was also because of this accident that she woke up earlier than Qiao Mucheng today.

Turning his head slightly, he looked at Qiao Mucheng's sleeping face.

Only then did she realize that it was the first time she had seen him sleeping so closely.

He didn't have the indifferent feeling that he usually exuded, but became very calm, looking gentle and harmless.

The long eyelashes cast a small shadow, perhaps because he was about to wake up, trembling slightly, making Jiang Luyao's heart tremble.

The thin lips that were pursed lightly outlined an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and she was born with a gentle temperament.

She couldn't help but stretched out her hand, and traced lightly along the arc of his lips, but accidentally touched the corner of his mouth, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

Before Jiang Luyao could retract his outstretched hand, it hung awkwardly not far from his face. He was stunned for half a second before suddenly retracting it. Then he turned over and got out of bed, and fled into the bathroom.

Qiao Mucheng raised his hand to touch the place where her fingers touched just now, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.

Jiang Luyao hid in the bathroom with an embarrassed look on his face.

How could the undead have woken up at that time?Could he have misunderstood something and thought he had some special interest in him?

In fact, even she didn't know why she acted that way just now, it seemed that when she was staring at him, she subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch his face.

It's as if a voyeur was caught by someone, and now he is ashamed to face others.

After hiding in the bathroom for a long time, a voice finally came from outside the door: "How long are you going to stay in there?"

Jiang Luyao responded with a guilty conscience: "There are so many bathrooms at home, why do you have to wait for this one!"

However, in the next second, he pushed the door open and walked in.

"I like this one," he said, walking to the sink and picking up his toothbrush.

Jiang Luyao gave him a blank look without a word, walked around him and walked out.

After skillfully putting on her makeup and changing her clothes, she sat on a chair and rubbed her sore arm, just in time for Qiao Mucheng to see her right after she came out.

"If you exercise more in the future, you won't have sore muscles." When he spoke, there was a half-smile on his face, which seemed to mean something.

It was obviously a normal sentence, but Jiang Luyao blushed when he heard it.

What does he mean by exercise...?
"Dirty!" She glared at him, got up and walked out.

Qiao Mucheng didn't take it seriously: "An obscene person will hear the meaning of obscenity."

Jiang Luyao only thought he was deaf and ignored him.

For the next period of time, maybe it was because Kang Yatong's hidden danger was eliminated, and Zhuang Huici didn't come to find trouble because of the unhappiness with Qiao Mucheng last time, so Jiang Luyao's life was very comfortable.

Even Jiang Wanxia hadn't contacted her for a long time, which gave her an illusion, as if she was just living a very ordinary life, without intrigue or entanglement, and she... really was Mrs. Joe.

The only thing she misses from time to time is the e-mail from a stranger she received last time, and all kinds of guesses about her eldest sister.

That person didn't reply to her later, and Qiao Mucheng didn't give her any feedback. It seemed that the email was just an accident.

It happened that Qi Sizuo had stayed in China temporarily since the last case, and would not be returning to the United States in a short time, so she sent him those photos and asked him to find out the location of the photos for her. .

This is the only clue she has, and she can only look it up from here.

In the company, she is still a little assistant without any real power. Her daily job is to sit in a daze in her seat, occasionally bickering with Qiao Mucheng, which is very boring.

When she was bored, she suddenly received a call from Jiang Xinyan.

"Yaoyao, last time I asked you to go shopping, but then I was busy with the new company, so I didn't contact you until now, you don't blame me, do you?"

Jiang Luyao almost forgot the agreement with her, because she had too many things to think about, and such trivial things as shopping were naturally easily forgotten.

"How could it be? In fact, I was busy with a lot of things before, and I was not free until recently."

"That's great, are you free this weekend? It's the place and time we agreed on last time, how about it?"

Jiang Luyao thought for a while, she was indeed a little bored recently, and it would be nice to have someone to accompany her to go shopping, so she agreed.

After hanging up the phone, she subconsciously glanced in Qiao Mucheng's direction, and was relieved to see that he was busy with his work with his head down, not paying attention to his situation.

For some reason, Qiao Mucheng was always full of hostility towards Jiang Xinyan, and every time he wanted to get close to her, he would come out to obstruct her.

Fortunately, he finally didn't intervene this time, otherwise he would inevitably have to entangle with him for a long time.

The appointed time came soon. On the afternoon of the weekend, Jiang Luyao got dressed and was ready to go out.

Qiao Mucheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book, when he saw that she was going out, he casually asked, "Where are you going?"

Jiang Luyao put the bag on his shoulder with a flick of his hand, and said with a cool face: "You don't care."

After she finished speaking, she quickly walked out of the living room without waiting for Qiao Mucheng to ask any more questions.

Qiao Mucheng, who was behind him, frowned, and waited until she drove away from Bieyuan before taking out her mobile phone and making a call.

Jiang Luyao drove to the agreed place, and happened to meet Jiang Xinyan in the parking lot of the shopping mall.

They haven't seen each other since the last reception, so when they saw each other again this time, Jiang Xinyan was also extraordinarily enthusiastic, pulling Jiang Luyao to ask questions.

The two chatted while walking towards the mall.

This shopping mall is owned by the Imperial Group, and it has just opened recently, so there are quite a few customers in the shopping mall.

"Yaoyao, do you think the employees in this mall know you?" Jiang Xinyan asked curiously.

Jiang Luyao smiled, even she didn't dare to confirm this.The last time she announced her identity in a high-profile manner at the reception, as an industry under the Imperial Group, theoretically speaking, the employees here should know her.

"It's good if you don't know each other. It's just for shopping. I don't want to be bothered by them."

If you really let them know that the wife of the president is here, and give her some special treatment, then this street will be uncomfortable.

When he was talking, he suddenly found that there were many people around not far in front of him, who seemed to be watching something lively.

With a curious expression on her face, Jiang Xinyan pulled her towards the crowd.

Before he got close, Jiang Luyao heard a familiar and harsh voice saying, "Call me! You don't even ask who I am, and you dare to damage my things, and the villain will sue first!"

What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet Tang Jiaren here.

Squeezing to the front of the crowd and taking a look, Jiang Luyao roughly understood what happened.

There was a pile of broken glass scattered about, apparently something had just been broken.There was an overturned lunch box next to it, and the soup and rice in it spilled out, and part of it splashed on Tang Jiaren's clothes, which looked particularly conspicuous.

A young girl who looked a little thin was falling not far away, crying in fear. There was an obvious wound on her hand, as if it had just been scratched by glass.
And Tang Jiaren's bodyguards were beating the girl.

Jiang Luyao frowned. How could this be a high-end shopping mall under the Empire Group, so someone beat up people openly, and the security guards didn't care?

Immediately, she saw the security guard standing at a loss, looking at Tang Jiaren's expression of daring anger but not speaking, obviously knowing her identity, so she didn't dare to offend her.

Judging by the girl's clothes, she should be the cleaning staff of the shopping mall. She probably blamed Tang Jiaren for accidentally breaking the things Tang Jiaren bought and spilling vegetable soup on her clothes.

Before Jiang Luyao said anything, Jiang Xinyan couldn't stand it any longer, and walked over to question the security guard, "Are you just watching them beat people like this?"

The security guard looked at Tang Jiaren in embarrassment, and hesitated to say why.

Tang Jiaren's sharp gaze shifted to Jiang Xinyan in an instant, looked her up and down, and then revealed a puzzled look.

"It's you……"

She obviously recognized Jiang Xinyan.

"Stop it first!" she told the bodyguard.

"Miss Tang, we met once at the reception last time, so I think you should still remember me." Jiang Xinyan greeted her with a smile.

Tang Jiaren snorted coldly, as a tacit consent.

"So? You want to meddle in my business today?"

Jiang Xinyan asked again: "I don't know what this girl did wrong? You let a few big men beat up a weak girl, isn't that unreasonable?"

Tang Jiaren looked down at the shivering girl on the ground, and a look of disdain flashed in her eyes.

"I have to ask the staff of the mall, why do such low-status people walk around in such a high-end shopping mall? Not to mention breaking my things, and staining my clothes. Blame me for not seeing her while walking, do you think I should hit her?"

Jiang Xinyan frowned, thinking about how to refute her, Jiang Luyao walked forward unhurriedly, but the target was not Tang Jiaren.

"Is the company hiring you security guards just to let you watch the show? Some people are committing crimes openly here, and if you don't drive them out, what are you doing?"

She walked directly towards the security guards and ordered domineeringly.

The security guards didn't react for a while, and looked her up and down. Although they knew that this was probably someone they couldn't afford, they really didn't know her, and they didn't know why she ordered themselves confidently.
