Jingcheng scratched his head. âI thought you knew, Miss.â
Qiao Qiao put down her chopsticks and exhaled. âYou didnât make it clear. You only said that 1 donât have to order lunch. Then I thought he ordered it for me. I didnât expect him to come down and eat with us.â
Just as he finished speaking, Shao Jingmoâs voice came from the door. âEat first if youâre hungry. Thereâs no need to wait for me.â Qiao Qiao turned to look at Shao Jingmo. He must have heard her conversation with Jingcheng. He walked over and draped his jacket over the arm of the sofa, then sat down opposite her. âJust the two of us. As long as Iâm not here, you eat first.â
Qiao Qiao looked at the cold and oppressive face opposite her and answered untruthfully, âItâs alright. Iâm not very hungry.â
Shao Jingmo looked at her and asked, âThen do you want to eat now or later?â
Qiao Qiao said angrily, âl said Iâm not very hungry. Itâs not like Iâm not eating now. What am I eating later? The leftovers you left behind?â
âIf you donât eat, Iâll wait until you do. Thereâs no leftovers,â he said.
Qiao Qiao was slightly stunned. Not daring to think too much about it, she picked up her chopsticks. âThen letâs eat.â
Shao Jingmo smiled. Apart from some subtle sounds during the meal, neither of them spoke. In the end, Qiao Qiao put down her chopsticks first. Shao Jingmo looked up and asked her, âArenât you going to eat more?â
âIâm full,â she said.
Shao Jingmo did not ask further and continued to eat. The atmosphere between the two of them wasnât very good. Although Qiao Qiao didnât speak with a gun and a stick, her tone was cold, making people have no desire to continue the conversation.
She didnât get up to leave. She just sat there and watched him eat quietly. After staring for a long time, she finally couldnât suppress her curiosity and asked, âLittle Uncle, do you have someone you like?â
Shao Jingmo had already finished his meal and was about to drink a bowl of soup. He looked up at her upon hearing her question.
As they looked at each other, Shao Jingmo!s gaze was deep and obscure. Qiao Qiao couldnât understand what kind of gaze it was at all, but the nervousness in her eyes was clearly seen by Shao Jingmo.
Qiao Qiaoâs expression became unnatural. âl was just asking. I didnât mean anything else.â
Shao Jingmo put down the bowl of soup. âDid you suddenly want to ask casually, or did you think about it for a long time before asking?â
Why are you asking so clearly!
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. Her expression was clearly very unnatural, but she still pretended to be calm. âDonât you think the atmosphere is too quiet? 1 was just looking for a topic to ask. I really didnât mean anything else.â
After pretending to be calm, she continued the topic in order to make it seem more real. âLittle Uncle, you didnât answer me just now. Is it because you donât want me to know? Actually, thereâs nothing to hide. We both know about our marriage agreement. You wonât interfere in my private love life. Itâs the same for me,â
With that, she secretly glanced at Shao Jingmoâs expression. Fortunately, he did not pull a long face. However, he had always been a person who did not show his emotions. She still had to watch his expression.
Shao Jingmo lowered his eyes and looked at the bowl of soup in front of him.
He rejected it faintly. âThis is my personal relationship. No comments.â
Qiao Qiaoâs small face tightened. âThen if I tell you about my personal relationships first, will you tell me?â
Shao Jingmo looked up at her and said, âTell me.â
Qiao Qiao asked, âl want a definite answer from you.â
Shao Jingmoâs emotions were as calm as water. âSure.â
Unexpectedly, he was quite straightforward.
Qiao Qiao leaned forward with her upper body. In order to pry into Shao Jingmoâs personal feelings, she confessed her personal feelings to him. She cleared her throat and said solemnly, âl have someone I like in the capital.â Of course, this person was Li Xiwu!!
Qiao Qiao thought that she had brushed him off, but she ignored Shao Jingmoâs insight. He asked calmly, âIs it that Miss Li?â
Qiao Qiao:
Shao Jingmo smiled playfully. âSo your orientation is female.â
Qiao Qiao: â
In just two minutes, her orientation was redefined by Shao Jingmo. Qiao Qiao was on the brink of tears. Why was it so difficult to get information out of Shao Jingmo? But at this point, Qiao Qiao still didnât want to give up. If she couldnât figure it out, she would just ask directly.
Hence, she mustered her courage. Just as she was about to ask, Shao Jingmo replied calmly, âThereâs a girl Iâve liked for years.â
Qiao Qiaoâs eyes widened and her voice rose.. âYouâve liked her for many years?â
