The Cold War
"I'm just being bothered by a scoundrel."
Andol's heart was beating wildly, but she tried her best to suppress her nervousness.
"Scoundrel? He dares to bully our An family, does he want to die? Do you need me to solve it? "
An Ziyan was being kind, but Andol was not in a good mood. She scratched her head and said impatiently, "Brother, I can solve my own problems. Don't worry about me."
After that, she turned off the phone and threw it aside.
She rubbed her eyebrows, thinking about how to proceed with the next step of the plan.
An Ziyan, who was hung up on, was confused. He could not help but curse, "What an ingrate. She has no conscience at all."
If he did not care about her, who would meddle in other people's business?
"Ziyan, how is it? Is Ah Duo still unwilling to see me? "A man wearing glasses and looking well-behaved asked in a low voice.
An Ziyan was stunned. He looked at the man opposite him and knew that things were not going well.
Because of Andol's words, he forgot the real reason why he called Andol. This time, he wanted to ask her to meet someone, but who knew that she would hang up after saying a few words.
In the end, An Ziyan could only laugh and let the matter pass. He did not know how many times he scolded Andol in his heart.
On the way back, the more An Ziyan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Dr. Jiang, why did this name sound so familiar?
For some reason, he suddenly thought of the famous old Chinese doctor, Dr. Jiang, in A City. That person suddenly moved abroad. He was a little surprised at first, but that hospital was under Andol's jurisdiction, so he did not interfere.
From what Andol said today, she seemed to be pestered by Dr. Jiang.
Although Andol did not take him seriously, if she was really in trouble, he still had to help.
"Hey, help me investigate a person …"

Family He.
Qiao Qiao was lying on the bed reading a book. He Shaochen had just finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom.
"It's late. Sleep early." He Shaochen walked over. He wiped the water off his hair with one hand and took the book from Qiao Qiao's hand with the other.
Qiao Qiao was still engrossed in her book when it was suddenly taken away. She looked up at He Shaochen and smiled faintly. "I took a nap at noon, so I'm not very sleepy now."
He Shaochen could not help but be absent-minded at her reaction. He remembered that if he had done this in the past, this girl would definitely angrily express her dissatisfaction. But now, she would no longer do that.
From the moment she lost her child, Qiao Qiao seemed to have matured. At the same time, she became much quieter.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face? "Qiao Qiao saw that He Shaochen had been staring at her. She could not help but touch her face and ask with a smile.
He Shaochen sighed softly. He put the book on the bedside table and sat on the edge of the bed. He pulled Qiao Qiao's neck over and pressed his forehead against hers. He said faintly, "Qiao Qiao, do you want to go out for a walk? You'll be bored out of your mind if you stay at home all the time."
"Can I?"
Qiao Qiao's amber eyes clearly lit up. But very quickly, she seemed to have thought of something and the light disappeared in a flash. She pressed against He Shaochen's forehead. Her long eyelashes drooped slightly as she said worriedly, "Forget it. I know that the people in J Country are still watching me. If I go out casually, there might be an accident."
Ever since she found out the truth, Qiao Qiao finally understood why He Shaochen had always been against her going out without notice.
"It's okay. I won't let such an accident happen to you again. Definitely."
"Shaochen …"
Qiao Qiao held He Shaochen's hand and found that his hand was as cold as ice. Her heart thumped and she said numbly, "Shaochen, your hand is so cold …"
He Shaochen's expression froze for a moment. He calmly pulled his hand out of Qiao Qiao's grasp.
This action made Qiao Qiao slightly stunned.
He Shaochen laughed lightly and pretended to be relaxed as he said, "So what if my hand is a little cold? After all, it's almost winter. It's not a big deal if my hand is cold, right? "
Was that really the case?
Qiao Qiao tilted her head and looked at him. "But you just took a shower, right?"
Under normal circumstances, a person's hand should be very warm after taking a shower, right? Besides, the temperature in the house had always been constant. How could his hand be cold for no reason?
"…"
He Shaochen was speechless for a moment. He reached out his hand and pinched Qiao Qiao's cheek. "Don't be so suspicious. I just washed my hand. It's just that my hand is a little cold."
Qiao Qiao was not stupid. How could this excuse fool her?
She thought of something and said, "By the way, Professor Su called me recently. He said that you haven't been to the laboratory for a long time. Are you very busy with work?"
Moreover, Professor Su's tone was unfriendly. He seemed to be very dissatisfied.
It was obvious that he was really angry.
When He Shaochen heard Su Yanmo's name, he immediately thought of that fake smile on his face. Speaking of which, he had not been going to the laboratory much recently. That was because the doctor in charge of his body had developed a new medicine to suppress his cold disease. Therefore, he did not go to the laboratory as diligently as before.
"I've been a little busy recently. When I'm free, I'll look for him."
"Is it because of me?" Qiao Qiao asked again. She pursed her lips and said, "Is it because I want to take revenge on those people from J Country that you're so busy that you don't have time to go?"
"You're thinking too much."
He Shaochen looked away when he said this.
Qiao Qiao turned He Shaochen's face again. She stared straight at him and said seriously, "Shaochen, let me get involved. I want to personally make those who killed my child receive the punishment they deserve."
Now, she was like a canary in a cage. She was living a luxurious life, but it was monotonous and boring.
"The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body."
It was this sentence again.
Qiao Qiao shook her head. "I'm already better."
"No, you haven't fully recovered yet." He Shaochen shook his head. His gaze was affectionate and persistent. "Before you fully recover, I won't let you get involved in this matter. I'll deal with those people from J Country one by one. If you want to be Queen, I'll help you. You just need to wait obediently for me to win the crown for you."
"In any case, you just don't want me to get involved, right?" Qiao Qiao was disappointed and a little annoyed.
Why did he never give her a chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with him?
"Qiao Qiao …"
"I'm sleepy. Let's sleep."
Qiao Qiao turned her back to He Shaochen and lay down. She covered her head with the blanket, refusing to communicate with the outside world.
He Shaochen looked at Qiao Qiao, who had wrapped herself into a ball, and a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes.
He knew what Qiao Qiao was thinking, but he didn't want her to get hurt. So even if she couldn't understand, he would still be stubborn. Because this was the best way to protect her.
He turned off the lights.
He turned over and got into bed, preparing to sleep.
However, the chill in his body was getting stronger and stronger, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.
This was the side effect of the new medicine. Although it could reduce the frequency of the cold relapse, the body would become as cold as ice. As the number of times he took the medicine increased, this phenomenon would only increase day by day.
His back was against Qiao Qiao, but he could also feel that Qiao Qiao was shivering because of the cold air emitted from his body. He could only move as far as possible, hoping that the cold wouldn't wake her up.
However, even if he had already slept at the edge of the bed, Qiao Qiao would still shiver because of the cold.
After a few days, Qiao Qiao finally caught a cold.
"Achoo!"
At the dinner table, Qiao Qiao sneezed without any symptoms, and everyone at the table stared at her in unison.
"Qiao Qiao, did you catch a cold?"
Father He asked with concern.
Recently, Father He had been at home more often.
Mother He also asked unexpectedly, "The weather has turned cold recently, and your body is weak. Remember to wear more clothes."
Qiao Qiao was flattered by so many people's concern for her. She waved her hand and smiled, "Maybe I didn't cover myself with a blanket yesterday and caught a cold. Dad, Mom, don't worry."
"Ask someone to boil some ginger soup for you later. It's been quite cold recently. By the way, I remember that Shaochen's birthday is next week, right?"
Mother He suddenly mentioned this matter.
Qiao Qiao looked up in astonishment, "Shaochen's birthday is coming soon?"
Oh no, she didn't seem to care about this matter.
Because she often couldn't even remember her own birthday, let alone other people's birthdays.
"Yes, but Shaochen hasn't celebrated his birthday at home for a long time. Usually, his friends celebrate for him." Speaking of which, it was because this family was too inhumane.
Mother He's eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness.
"Oh, I see."
Qiao Qiao drank the soup, but in her heart, she had an idea. Should she prepare a gift for him? The last time she celebrated her birthday, He Shaochen's "sea of flowers" was still unforgettable to her.
However, because of what happened a few nights ago, they were a little angry, so He Shaochen couldn't be seen during the day again.
What an unforgiving man.
Forget it, she was a magnanimous person and wouldn't stoop to his level. Today, she would reconcile with him.
Qiao Qiao thought awkwardly, but who knew that that night, He Shaochen would propose to sleep in the guest room.
When he took his pillow and walked out of the room, Qiao Qiao felt uncomfortable. She hugged her pillow and sat on the bed looking at the man who had already walked to the door. She couldn't help but say, "What's the point of doing this? I only said that I wanted to participate in your plan. Do you have to be so angry? "
He Shaochen's hand that was about to open the door froze. A trace of suspicion flashed across his eyes. After a second, he realized what was going on. Was this girl still upset about what happened that night?
But … it was good that she continued to misunderstand.
He Shaochen's face instantly darkened, and his voice turned cold as he said, "Don't you think that your temper is too big? You throw a tantrum at the slightest disagreement. I used to spoil you too much. "
"What did you say?"
Qiao Qiao's amber eyes were filled with disbelief. She thought that she was hallucinating.
What was this person talking about?
"Anyway, you should reflect on yourself. Since you are already Family He's Young Madam, you should act like a future Madam."
With that said, he opened the door and walked out.
