When Qiao Qiao heard this, her face darkened. She pouted and said in a muffled voice, âShao Jingmo, I knew that youâve always been ambitious and good at pretending. Youâre a baddie. I want to tell Grandpa that youâve never been kind.â
She struggled to free her hands. This time, she actually broke free. It was so easy that Qiao Qiao was stunned for a few seconds. Qiao Jingmo looked at her. âWhy arenât vou going?â
Qiao Qiao gritted her teeth. This was a blatant provocation!
âJust you wait. Iâll go tell Grandpa now!â She turned around and walked into the room.
Not only did Qiao Jingmo not stop her, but he also did not follow her in. He just stood where he was and quietly watched her return to Old Master Qiaoâs room.
At that moment, Qiao Qiao had already reached the door. She suddenly paused and turned around to look at Qiao Jingmo, who was still standing there. He had his arms crossed over his chest and was looking at her calmly. The smile on his lips looked so mocking!
Thatâs right, mockery!
Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and closed her eyes tightly. In the end, she turned around and stood in front of Qiao Jingmo.
Qiao Jingmo asked her, âWhy are you back again?â
Qiao Qiao clenched her fists by her sides. âIâm not a fool. I know youâre waiting to see me make a fool of myself. Iâm a little slow sometimes, but Iâm not stupid! Now that the entire Deep Blue is in your hands and Grandpa is sick in bed, so what if I tell Grandpa? Donât say that Grandpa wonât believe me. If Grandpa believes me, what can it changeâ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiao Qiaoâs voice grew softer as she spoke. It was not that she did not have the confidence, but she recognized the truth in front of her.
In the Capital.
Today was also a single-line mission, and everyone completed it very smoothly.
Li Xiwu had just finished filming for the entire day. She raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was almost six oâclock. Han Qianye was going back to the Han Residence. She had wanted to bring Li Xiwu back with her, but Li Xiwu wasnât very familiar with the Han Family and didnât want to get used to it, so she rejected her.
Han Qianye did not force her. She handed Li Xiwu a cup of hot milk tea with a straw. âThis cup is for you.â
Li Xiwu declined politely, âIâm not drinking anymore, you can have it.â
Han Qianye kept pushing the cup towards Li Xiwu. âI canât drink so much by myself. Drink a few mouthfuls and give me the rest.â
Hearing that Han Qianye wanted her to drink first before giving the rest to her, Li Xiwu felt that this was not a good idea. âWhy donât you keep it? I donât really want to drink anything too sweet right now.â
Han Qianye immediately added, âThis cup of milk tea is half sugar. It wonât be very sweet.â
Then, she handed the straw to Li Xiwu.
Li Xiwu had no choice but to think about it. If not for the fact that the variety show had just ended and there were still staff members passing by, she would have thought that Han Qianye had put something in the milk tea and was waiting for her to drink it.
Although the likelihood of worse is also low.
Li Xiwu held down the cup of milk tea. âWhy donât you give me this cup of milk tea? Iâll treat you to another cup next time.â
Seeing that her plan was about to fail, Han Qianye sighed in her heart. âThenâ¦
Iâll give it to you.â
Li Xiwu took the cup of milk tea with both hands.
At this moment, the car that came to pick Han Qianye up had already arrived. Han Qianye looked at the car parked by the roadside and then at Li Xiwu, who had received the milk tea. She hesitated for a few seconds before getting into the car.
The car window rolled down and Han Qianye waved her hand. âGo home early.â
Li Xiwu agreed. âOkay.â
After watching the car drive away, Li Xiwu retracted her gaze and looked down at the cup of milk tea in her hand. Since the straw had already been inserted, Li Xiwu couldnât just leave it there. She took a sip.
It was indeed half sugar. It wasnât too sweet, and it was still warm. There were pearls, and it tasted very good. The kind that one couldnât help but take a second or third sip after taking a sip.
She quickly drank half a cup.
Night fell early in this weather. It would be dark in a few minutes. Li Xiwu put her charger and hair clip into her bag and waited for Pei Jingzhou to arrange for a car to pick her up.
At this moment, Xue Jinzhu was talking to her âboyfriendâ , Gu Lanshi.
Xue Jinzhu laughed loudly without caring about her image. She pushed Gu
Lanshi very naturally. âHahaha, youâre too funny. So youâre a funny man.â
And with that, Xue Jinzhu ran over to Li Xiwu and grabbed her arm. âSister Li, I thought he was a scholarly guy. I didnât expect him to be a funny guy.â
Li Xiwu changed the way she held the cup of milk tea to prevent it from spilling out. Hearing Xue Jinzhuâs words, her lips curved. âIs that so?â
Xue Jinzhu laughed hysterically. âThatâs right, thatâs right. I only found out that heâs a funny man after interacting with him. Unfortunately, I haveâ¦â
Li Xiwu raised her other hand to her lips. âAhem, ahem!â
Xue Jinzhu reacted quickly and immediately stopped what she was about to say. There were still some people who had not left, especially Min Hanrongâs group, who were chatting with Tang Xian. Xue Jinzhuâs voice was so loud, so it was better to restrain herself.
At that moment, Gu Lanshi also walked over.
âMiss Li.â Gu Lanshi smiled and greeted Li Xiwu. âWe meet again.â
Not long after Gu Lanshi arrived, he got out of the car and started chatting with Xue Jinzhu. On the surface, the two of them were âboyfriend and girlfriendâ, but their private friendship was also improving. They were mainly worried that something would go wrong during the recording, just in case. Li Xiwu saw Gu Lanshi, her expression was indifferent. âMr. Gu.â
Li Xiwu still remembered what happened at the Li Mansion that dav. This person probably knew her⦠No, he probably knew Li You, which was why he wanted to help her recover her memory. However, Li Xiwu was very resistant to his arrangement.
After all, they did not know each other. The only time they had interacted was on the show.
Gu Lanshi saw the indifference in Li Xiwuâs eyes, but this did not stop him from saying, âMiss Li, are you free tomorrow?â
Before Li Xiwu could say anything, Xue Jinzhu interrupted, âAre you going to ask Sister Li out? That wonât do. Sister Li is married and her husband is super handsome. Although youâre also very outstanding, I think Sister Liâs husband should be more outstanding than you.â
Gu Lanshi: â
Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. âAlthough Iâm off tomorrow, I still have work and personal matters to deal with tomorrow. Iâm sorry, Mr. Gu.â
In other words, she didnât have time. Although she did not say it too clearly, the meaning was very clear.
Gu Lanshi looked regretful. âThatâs a pity. I originally planned to tell Miss Li some things.â
Li Xiwu narrowed her cold eyes and her expression darkened.
Xue Jinzhu did not know anything. At this moment, her face was filled with curiosity. âWhat do you want to tell Miss Li? Can I listen?â
Gu Lanshi glanced sideways at Xue Jinzhu and smiled gently. âSomething more important. â
Xue Jinzhu immediately closed her eyes. âOh my god! Why are you so good-looking?!â If Brother had not come, her soul would have been stolen.
Li Xiwu sighed, âWhen tomorrow?â
Gu Lanshiâs gaze returned to Li Xiwu. The two of them looked at each other and he said slowly, âAny time tomorrow is fine. It depends on your schedule..â
