Qiao Xin and Xiao Long looked at each other for a while, until finally, Xiao Long bent down to help Qiao Xin up. Their gazes were hard to decipher at all, even now Qiao Xin was about to turn her gaze away. Xiao Long slowly wiped Qiao Xin's tears dripping down her cheeks, then he hurriedly took off his coat and put it on Qiao Xin's body. Without a word, but enough to flatter Qiao Xin with Xiao Long's attention, then Qiao Xin's already icy hand was tightly gripped by Xiao Long and invited to rush off to get into the car.

Meanwhile, Xuan Cheng, who was watching from a distance because his car had not had time to turn around, could only guess who the male figure who had come to pick up Qiao Xin was. Because of his faint stature, Xuan Cheng was sure that the figure was not Tao at all. He has a tall, stout posture with an unmistakable style as if he was a very charismatic figure. Then Xuan Cheng let out a deep breath, speeding up the car without a word.

Was it Qiao Xin's lover?

Those words kept haunting Xuan Cheng's mind so vividly, and for some reason, his mind began to be disturbed by it.

"Why don't you just go home? Shouldn't you have gone home earlier?" Xiao Long looked questioning, causing Qiao Xin to glance at him with that annoyed look.

"Wouldn't you be angry if I went home and didn't wait for Tao? I'm sure if I did you'd be angrier and settle down on me," Qiao Xin replied.

Xiao Long's jaw hardened. He glanced at Qiao Xin then took a deep breath until the car stopped at a red light for quite a while.

"I want to obey you, you said if I will go and return with Tao, then I will," Qiao Xin spoke again. However, Xiao Long remained silent as if the anger was still in his heart and was reluctant to leave. "I've told you a bit about you in Mei, although she also doesn't know that my relationship with a man who is like a demon king is not just a lover's relationship, but a husband and wife relationship, and of course she doesn't know who the demon lord I'm talking about is. to her,"

Xiao Long glanced back at Qiao Xin, who had already lowered her face deeply, and then she took another deep breath.

"I haven't dared to wear our wedding rings yet, but I will when I'm ready. I mean, I hid this marriage in front of everyone, not because I was afraid that everyone would say I was a widow when the divorce happened. It's just that I don't want traces of our marriage, and your identity exposed. You certainly know very well how clever people and technology are these days that can skin anyone very easily, and I don't want you to get in trouble either. I mean, it's true that you announce yourself that you already have a wife, but don't you think that they know that your wife is me? Just an ordinary woman who could even be said to be from a poor family and lacked education and high standing? Then you will be made difficult, especially why should you make it difficult for you when this marriage is only for a short time? Wouldn't that be tiring?"

"I'm hungry, what do you want to eat?" asked Xiao Long, who had ignored Qiao Xin's lengthy remarks.

Qiao Xin couldn't help but hold her breath, and she didn't expect Xiao Long to choose to avoid the matter that made him angry.

"Xiao Long, I want to discuss this. I-"

"I don't want to talk about it anymore," Xiao Long cut in. Qiao Xin turned her head back, her gaze on Xiao Long's face, which still looked so cold. "Just do what you want, I'll do what I want too. Is it even?" he continued later.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm hungry, I want to eat. What do you want to eat?" repeated Xiao Long ignoring Qiao Xin's question again.

Qiao Xin seemed to take a deep breath, and then she chose to give up. As long as Xiao Long doesn't dwell in it anymore, it doesn't matter if Xiao Long doesn't bring up this matter again.

"You're not angry anymore?" Qiao Xin asked. Xiao Long was still silent. "If you say you're not angry anymore, I want to eat. But if you're still angry, we'd better go straight home."

Xiao Long glanced at Qiao Xin, who was already looking at her intently, then Xiao Long chuckled.

"Irritating."

"Smile, your face is scary when you're angry, you know you're really like a demon lord when you're angry," said Qiao Xin.

It wasn't long before Xiao Long smiled broadly as he showed it to Qiao Xin, making Qiao Xin smile too.

"Okay, I want to eat mutton leg, drink beer, and spicy chicken leg, it looks like sweet spicy shrimp is also delicious, ah or we eat cold noodles on the corner, it's also famous for being very delicious."

"You, is your stomach a trash can? Why eat so much!" Xiao Long protested.

"Why it can not? I waited for Tao to come for hours even until midnight. Don't you know how hungry I am waiting for Tao, huh? Irritating!" Qiao Xin protested.

Xiao Long was silent again, and then he tried to find the whole place to eat using the help of a map. After arriving, Xiao Long spread his eyes on the area.

"They said this place is the most visited. But how can I eat in a shabby and dirty place like this? The food must be unclean and not tasty," Xiao Long muttered. He immediately screamed when he saw Qiao Xin about to open the door. "What do you want to do?"

"Get out, eat. What's more, really?"

"No, let's just go to the restaurant."

"No, I like this place."

"No."

Qiao Xin looked at Xiao Long while glaring, causing Xiao Long to clear his throat as well. Then he also got out of the car.

"My expensive belly, my expensive suit, my expensive body and my handsome face, you know I really am not fit to sit here," Xiao Long protested again.

Qiao Xin snorted, then she pulled Xiao Long's hand closer and ordered some food for the two of them.

Xiao Long didn't seem to protest anymore, and his eyes seemed to be searching for something. Then he rose again from his uncomfortable seat.

"Where are you going?" Qiao Xin asked. Xiao Long seemed to chuckle.

"I'm leaving for a while, don't finish the food, greedy!"

"Tsk!"

Qiao Xin could only wait, watching Xiao Long walk while running a little. I don't know what Xiao Long will do because Qiao Xin is already busy with the dishes she ordered. But when she was about to eat first, Qiao Xin thought of Xiao Long again, making her couldn't help but wait for Xiao Long even though she was starving.

After a while, Xiao Long came back with a bag in his hand, then he sat down and handed the bag to Qiao Xin.

Qiao Xin, who saw, seemed to be frowning. How could she not? The bag that even Qiao Xin didn't know was in. How could it be handed over to her just like that?

"What's this?" Qiao Xin then asked.

With a lazy expression on her face, Xiao Long chuckled again, looking at Qiao Xin, who seemed to be getting more and more talkative about having to talk a lot right now.

"I saw behind there was a toilet. Quickly change your wet clothes with this. I don't want you to catch a cold and catch a cold."

The silence was what Qiao Xin was doing now, and she didn't expect Xiao Long to pay much attention to her. But then Qiao Xin smiled wryly. Whatever Xiao Long did was really like a husband's attention to his wife, but all that attention was fake. How could it not be, just like what Xiao Long believed before, if he was going to make this contract marriage like a real marriage, then maybe that's how Xiao Long was doing right now. Because Xiao Long was too serious about his responsibilities. Yes, Qiao Xin knew about it, and now her job was to enjoy all the attention from Xiao Long before it disappeared, with a note that she had to be self-aware so as not to get carried away by this attention from Xiao Long.

"Alright Mr. Han, Lady Han will change her clothes. Don't eat it, or I'll chop you up."

"I don't even want to eat, how can a Mr. Han ask you to eat food in a place like this."

"Tsk!"

Qiao Xin immediately walked away, causing Xiao Long, who seemed to have folded his arms across his chest, to pay attention to all the dishes on the table. Xiao Long's stomach was hungry, and his nose was quite tempted by the delicious aroma that came out of all the dishes there. But when Xiao Long saw the plate and some visitors who came, he was reluctant to eat. How can he eat in a place where the poor often go? It was against Xiao Long's habit once. Then Xiao Long looked at the sky, and the rain had slowly subsided, making Xiao Long smile too.

"You're not eating?"

Xiao Long turned his head to see Qiao Xin had already changed clothes. Even the sweeter that Xiao Long bought along with his trousers fit Qiao Xin's body perfectly. Xiao Long didn't expect his choice to look cute when worn by Qiao Xin.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you fascinated by me?" asked Qiao Xin, who had already eaten the food before her. Xiao Long chuckled.

"I just didn't think that there was a woman who was so suited to wearing cheap clothes. I think your qualities are really reflected very clearly," Xiao Long sneered. Qiao Xin didn't respond to that, and then Xiao Long looked at Qiao Xin, occasionally he swallowed his saliva unconsciously. His stomach was rumbling now. "I couldn't find a decent shop here, so I bought you some makeshift clothes," he explained later.

Qiao Xin just smiled how not. According to Qiao Xin, Xiao Long's clothes were expensive, but how could that man say such things.

"I-"

Xiao Long's words were interrupted when Qiao Xin fed the shrimp that Qiao Xin had separated from its shell right into Xiao Long's mouth. Xiao Long was silent for a moment, and then he started chewing the slush in silence.

"Isn't rundown food delicious?" Qiao Xin then asked with a smile.
