Because the style of this thing is quite complicated, and Jiang Qi just did it herself, so her hair was all tangled up on it. Bai Qianyu could only pull out Jiang Qi's hair one strand at a time and straighten it out.

This process took a long time. Jiang Qi was a little bored and just happened to remember something, so she said, "Qian Yu, I want to ask you something."

"You ask." Bai Qianyu replied softly without stopping his hands.

"Do you still like me now?"

Bai Qianyu paused for a moment: "Why do you ask?"

"I want to marry you, are you willing?" Jiang Qi raised her head and looked at Bai Qianyu with a serious expression.

Bai Qianyu looked down at Jiang Qi and his gaze met her eyes. The peach blossom eyes that always contained only smiles were now full of seriousness.

Bai Qianyu was stunned. Jiang Qi was serious and was not joking with him.

"Are you serious?" Bai Qianyu was still unsure.

"Yes." Jiang Qi answered seriously, looking at him firmly.

Bai Qianyu didn't reply, but moved his gaze back to Jiang Qi's head and continued his hand movements.

Only after the lock of the hairpin was pulled out did he start to ask, "Why do you want to marry me?"

"Because you're the best fit for me right now."

"Suitable?" was a question. He wanted to know what Jiang Qi meant.

Jiang Qi thought for a moment and said seriously: "You have no power or influence. Your social circle is very clean. As for your family, you are no different from an orphan now. There is no problem with your character. Besides, I have known you for a long time. We are very familiar with each other in every aspect. So I think you are a more suitable marriage partner." Jiang Qi listed all the conditions he could think of one by one.

After Jiang Qi finished speaking, Bai Qianyu completely took off the hair crown on her head: "Then, what about He Sangran? You should have also sensed the relationship between him and me, do you mind?"

"Do you mind my relationship with Gu Jingcheng?"

"No." Bai Qianyu replied softly.

"That's all. Everyone has a past, there's no need to care so much about it. The only thing I care about now is whether you still like me and are willing to marry me?"

Bai Qianyu took a step back, squatted down with Jiang Qi's hair crown and lockpin in his hands. He looked up at Jiang Qi and said seriously, "I said two years ago that I liked you when I saw you. After knowing you for a week, I decided that you would be the only one I would marry in the future. It's the same now."

After hearing this, Jiang Qi's peach blossom eyes smiled again and she looked at him with a gentle smile, indicating that she was very satisfied with this answer.

But Bai Qianyu called softly, "Jiang Qi." Then he continued seriously, "I really want to have a home with you. Not just a marriage. Are you willing?" Because his voice was so low, it was a little hoarse.

Jiang Qi's smile faded after she finished speaking. She knew what Bai Qianyu meant. But she restrained her emotions in the next moment.

Bai Qianyu had been watching Jiang Qi's reaction. He clearly saw that the expression on Jiang Qi's face gradually became complicated. Then he frowned and said with a somewhat disgusted tone: "You, took my hair crown." Before Bai Qianyu could react. Jiang Qi continued: "You, took my hair crown to propose to me? You should at least buy a decent engagement ring."

Bai Qianyu was instantly amused by Jiang Qi. He stood up, his serious expression gone, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll beg you when I'm ready."

"Let's talk about it later." Jiang Qi replied very arrogantly.

"Let's go home now, miss."

"Okay, let's go." He stretched out his good hand. Bai Qianyu immediately cooperated and took his hand, and went to the roadside to hail a taxi with Jiang Qi.

As for that topic, the two of them tacitly stopped talking. Bai Qianyu knew that Jiang Qi had rejected him. And Jiang Qi also knew that Bai Qianyu disagreed. What he wanted was a wife who was a long-term partner, but Jiang Qi could only give him a marriage relationship. As for how long this relationship could last, she didn't know.

Back in the residential area, the taxi first dropped Jiang Qi off at the door of Jiang's house. Bai Qianyu wanted to take Jiang Qi inside. But Jiang Qi made it clear that she didn't need to, and didn't even let Bai Qianyu get out of the car. As soon as she closed the door, she asked the driver to drive, and then she limped to the door of her house, holding her waist. She fell down hard, and although there was a carpet, her butt was still very painful.

When Jiang Qi reached the front door, he looked at the open door of his house and was a little confused. He locked the door when he went out, so why is it open now? Did Lin Yue open it?

"Ayue!" Jiang Qi walked into the front door of her house cautiously, put her hair crown on the table at the door, and picked up a broom beside the door.

She called out to Lin Yue as she walked, but no one responded. She walked through the courtyard to the main hall, the door of which was also open. Jiang Qi took a deep breath and calmed down. She called out again, "A Yue?" and then tried to walk in.

Suddenly, a force pressed down on her shoulder and she was hit. Jiang Qi jumped up and threw the broom in her hand backwards instantly. But in an instant, the broom was still in the air when a force made it slip out of Jiang Qi's hand. It was so fast that it seemed as if Jiang Qi had thrown it out herself.

Before Jiang Qi could react, she heard Lin Yue's voice: "What are you doing?"

Hearing the voice, Jiang Qi calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Lin Yue. Zhi Ze said, "You want to scare me to death."

"You scared me to death. What are you doing? You've been sneaking around since you walked in, even holding a broom."

Jiang Qi lost her composure immediately after hearing this: "You actually knew I called you as soon as I came in, couldn't you just answer me?"

"How would I know what you're going to do? You're like a thief, with a broom in your hand."

"If you didn't open the door, would I have to come in with a broom? How would I know who is home? Didn't I tell you to lock the door, why did you open the door?" Jiang Qi was so angry that she relaxed and supported her injured butt. Knowing that no one was home and she didn't need to care about her image, she turned around and limped into the main hall.

"It's not me who opened the car." Lin Yue defended herself aggrievedly.

"It wasn't you who opened it, he opened it himself!" Jiang Qi said as she walked into the hall. Her voice was not lowered at all.

"I..." Lin Yue was interrupted by Jiang Qi just after saying a word.

"Okay, stop talking. Get me a glass of water. I'm dying of thirst." After saying that, she walked directly to the sofa and gently tried to sit down. She kept her head down while walking and didn't even look at the room.

After sitting down, a glass of water was handed to her. Jiang Qi took it and drank it without thinking, then continued: "I was really screwed by you this time. I was in so much pain when I fell. The loss of this meal is too big. By the way, bring my hair crown in. It's still at the door." After she said that, she looked up and saw a few suitcases in the living room. She asked: "What are these?" After that, she raised the cup and drank a sip.

"It's... my luggage."

Jiang Qi hadn't swallowed the water in her mouth yet, and the cup was still sending water to her mouth, when a strange and gentle male voice came over. Jiang Qi looked in the direction of the voice in a daze.

Beside her was an extremely unfamiliar face. Jiang Qi was sure she didn't know this person, and the water in her mouth reached her throat. She couldn't hold it back and coughed it out. The water was like a shower, all sprayed onto the shirt of the person in front of her.

"Cough... cough... cough..." Jiang Qi couldn't stop coughing because the water choked her trachea. The man leaned over and stroked Jiang Qi's back and asked, "Don't be anxious, go slower."

Jiang Qi raised her right hand and gently stroked her lips. She waved her hand repeatedly with her intact left hand. She said with some difficulty that she was fine.

Lin Yue was watching from the side, and from that angle, she couldn't tell if it was because of coughing. She clearly saw Jiang Qi blushing, and even her ears were slightly red. So she walked over and helped her breathe. Then she handed her the cup again: "Drink some more water to suppress it."

Jiang Qi took the cup and took a deep breath, then took a sip of water and swallowed it slowly, suppressing the urge to cough. She took a few more deep breaths. Finally, she managed to breathe smoothly. Then, she thanked the person first, then turned to look at Lin Yue and asked with an unnatural expression, "When did the guests come to our house?" Her voice was still a little hoarse.

"My aunt just brought it back."

"My mom?!" Jiang Qi couldn't believe it.

"Yeah." Compared to Jiang Qi's shock, Lin Yue nodded calmly.

"She's back?!" Jiang Qi was even more shocked.

"Jiang Qi." Before Lin Yue could speak, a voice came from above the stairs.

Jiang Qi was very familiar with this voice. She slowly raised her head and saw a person who was very familiar to her in her memory, a person who couldn't be more familiar, standing on the stairs and looking at her quietly.

Jiang Qi immediately stood up, smiled awkwardly, and called out, "Mom, you're back."

"Where have you been? Why didn't you answer the phone?" Shi Jinhua said as he walked down.

"I... went to attend Grandpa Gu's birthday party. My phone was left with Gu Jingcheng." Jiang Qi thought for a moment before replying, then silently hid his right hand into his sleeve.

After Shi Jinhua came down, he saw Jiang Qi's current appearance clearly. He frowned and asked, "You went to the banquet. How come your hair is disheveled?"

"Well, I think the hair crown is too heavy, so I asked Qian Yu to help me take it off when I get out."

"Why were you taking off your makeup outside? Don't tell me that's how you came back." Shi Jinhua's tone suddenly turned bad.

Seeing that Shi Jinhua looked unhappy, Jiang Qi immediately said, "No, no, no, absolutely not. I promise that no one will see me like this."

Shi Jinhua looked at her doubtfully. Jiang Qi changed the subject and asked, "Mom, there are guests at home. Would you like to introduce them to me?"

"Oh, by the way, come here." He stretched out his hand and pulled the person over, with a smile on his face. "Xiao Luochun, this is my daughter Jiang Qi."

"Hello, Sister Jiang." He greeted her softly, his black eyes looking at her timidly and clearly.

"Hello." Jiang Qi's heart softened when she was called. She looked at the person in front of her and deliberately softened her voice.

Lin Yue couldn't help curling her lips as she watched. She knew Jiang Qi too well. Jiang Qi was always soft-hearted and never hard-hearted. She liked this kind of soft, bunny-like person, regardless of whether he was a man or a woman, not to mention that the other person was such a good-looking person.

After the two of them greeted each other, Shi Jinhua continued to say to Jiang Qi, "This is little Luo Chun, three years younger than you." Shi Jinhua looked at his daughter with a gentle gaze. After a pause, he continued, "His surname is Ming, and he is the fiancé chosen by your grandmother for you. He has already been decided."

Jiang Qi took a while to process the words in his mind before reacting, and his expression cracked: "Huh?" He looked at Shi Jinhua in disbelief.

"Your fiancé has already been chosen. Xiao Luochun is here to marry you."

Jiang Qi's face was completely expressionless. She looked like she was petrified.
