Shao Jingmoâs voice turned cold. Without explaining anything, he followed her words. âThatâs right. Just like you said, how can 1 not have had a woman at my age? Iâve had many women before. Iâve never raised many. One at a time.â
âRaise?â Qiao Qiao caught this keyword. âWhoa, youâre really something. You donât date seriously, but youâre raising lovers, right?â
Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. âItâs so troublesome to have a girlfriend. I still have to chase her away after breaking up. Just raise one every time. After our relationship ends, sheâll take the money and leave. Then Iâll change to the next one.â
Qiao Qiao silently gritted her molars and glared at Shao Jingmo angrily.
However, Shao Jingmo did not mind her gaze. âDo you still want to know more about my private life? I wonât describe the details. Youâre still young, so itâs not appropriate for you to hear too much. But I can still tell you how many people Iâve dated and what style I like.â
âWho wants to hear about your affairs!â Qiao Qiao gritted her teeth. âIâm not interested at all.â
Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. âThen I wonât say anything.â
âl donât like to hear it either.â Qiao Qiao left angrily.
Shao Jingmo grabbed her wrist and reminded her in a low voice, âl told you to go upstairs after dinner.â His cold tone was unquestionable.
Qiao Qiao had been afraid of his expression in the past. Although he wasnât fierce to her, his aura was intimidating. As time passed, she avoided him every time she saw him. But now, she realized that she wasnât afraid at all even when Shao Jingmo put on the expression she was most afraid of in the past.
But she hated it when he relied on his strength to hold her wrist and not let go! In a fit of anger, Qiao Qiao raised his hand and bit down on his wrist. She bit down hard. However, no matter how hard or painful it was, Shao Jingmo did not even frown. He even teased her, âIs it because you havenât had dinner that you donât have much strength?â
Qiao Qiao bit harder. When she released her mouth, she swung it hard again. This time, she actually shook off his hand. âDidnât you say I didnât have the strength? Didnât it hurt? Then why didnât I use much strength to shake you off?â she sneered.
Shao Jingmo looked at her face that had regained its vivid emotions. âHave you vented your anger?â
âIâm not angry.â She sat down again.
From the looks of it, she was not leaving. She sat there obediently and waited for dinner.
Tonightâs dinner was clearly different from usual.
Usually, Qiao Qiao would cooperate with Shao Jingmo to show Old Master Qiao the details of the âgood relationship between husband and wifeâ. Tonight, Qiao Qiao didnât even act. She ate with a cold expression the entire time.
She had not eaten lunch and was extremely hungry now. She looked like she had not eaten for three days.
Mother Qiao was very worried and said, âEat slowly. No one is snatching it from you. Be careful not to choke.â
âIâm hungry.â Her cheeks puffed and her words slurred.
Mother Qiao asked, âThen what did you have for lunch?â
This time, Qiao Qiao swallowed before answering. â1 didnât have much of an appetite at noon. I didnât eat.â
âYou didnât eat lunch?â Mother Qiaoâs voice rose several decibels.
The atmosphere in the dining room suddenly fell silent. Mother Qiao looked at Qiao Qiao, Father Qiao looked at Qiao Qiao, Old Master Qiao looked at Qiao Qiao, and even Shao Jingmo looked at her.
Qiao Qiao wasnât used to everyone looking at her at once. âl just donât have an appetite, so I didnât eat.â
Mother Qiao said angrily, âEven if you donât have an appetite, you have to eat some snacks to fill your stomach. You canât not eat anything. Itâs not good for your stomach, understand?â
Qiao Qiao said perfunctorily, âItâs just this once. It wonât happen again.â
âItâs only one time now. If I donât nag till your ears have calluses, there will be three or four more times in the future. Over time, this stomach disease will accumulate, Do you think I donât know that all illnesses are dragged out of you young people?â
Mother Qiaoâs words rendered Qiao Qiao speechless.
Old Master Qiao put down his chopsticks and said, âOnce a person is unhappy, they wonât have an appetite. However, you have to remember your motherâs words just now. No matter how bad your mood is, you canât treat your body badly.â
Qiao Qiao nodded. âl know. Grandpa, donât look at me. Hurry up and eat.â
Father Qiao also said a few words.
Only Shao Jingmo was very quiet.
The next day.
Qiao Qiao didnât go to the company with Shao Jingmo. She asked Father Qiao to send her. Just as Father Qiao was about to agree, Shao Jingmo asked, âWill you never go to the company with me again?â
Qiao Qiao replied, âYes.â
Shao Jingmo did not force her to leave with him. He said to her, âUp to you..â
