âYou canât talk too much, right?â Qiao Qiao turned around and left. âIâll tell Little Uncle tonight that you didnât follow the code of due diligence and left me to go out to play alone in the company.â
Jingcheng followed Qiao Qiaoâs footsteps and said as he walked, âMiss, tell me yourself. Will Third Master believe you?â
Qiao Qiao said, âThen Iâll get Little Uncle to fire you.â
Jingcheng said, âNo, Third Master wonât fire me.â
Seeing that Jingcheng was stubborn, Qiao Qiao snorted. âIâm the lady boss now. Shao Jingmoâs woman in name. I can fire you on his behalf.â
Jingcheng was terrified. âMiss, donât talk me out of it so easily. Iâll tell you, but you canât tell my Third Master.â
They entered the elevator at the same time. There was no one else in the elevator at this time, only Qiao Qiao and Jingcheng. Qiao Qiao leaned against the elevator wall and snorted with laughter. âAre you stupid? How could 1 tell him?â
Next, Jingcheng honestly explained to Qiao Qiao why Shao Jingmo didnât answer the phone and where he had gone after sending her back to the companyâ
Qiao Qiao frantically pressed the elevator switch. Jingcheng was stunned for a few seconds, then asked in a daze, âMiss, what are you doing?â Qiao Qiao wasnât very calm. âOf course to find Shao Jingmo.â
Jing Cheng asked, âMiss, do you know where Third Master is?â
Qiao Qiao turned her head and looked confused for a few seconds. âIsnât it the Bai family?â
âl didnât say that Third Master went to the Bai family. I only said that Third Master went to meet the people from the Bai family. However, the venue was decided by the Bai family, but itâs definitely not in the Bai residence,â Jingcheng said.
Qiao Qiao slowly retracted her hand from pressing the elevator switch. âHe beat up that person from the Bai family last time. Wonât he be in danger when he goes to see the Bai family this time?â
She did not deny that when she heard from Jingcheng that Shao Jingmo had gone to see the Bai family, her mind was filled with other than going to Shao Jingmoâs side, she was also worried about his safety.
âMiss, donât worry. Third Master has his own arrangements before doing anything. Although Third Master left me by your side, this doesnât mean that
Third Master doesnât have other bodyguards by his side. Moreover, with Third Masterâs current status and influence in Xingzhou, the Bai family isnât just stupid enough to dare to attack Third Master.â
Jingchengs words calmed Qiao Qiao down a lot. The Bai family was at least afraid of Shao Jingmoâs current status in Xingzhou. Perhaps they were just sitting down to drink tea and chat this time. There was no need to make a fuss.
And there was still more than a month before her birthdayâ¦
Qiao Qiao wasnât in the mood to work this afternoon. From time to time, she would ask Jingcheng, who was standing in the corner like a statue, âIs Little Uncle back?â
Jingcheng shook his head. âMiss, not yet.â
Qiao Qiao was very disappointed. Even though she asked every once in a while, it was still the same answer.
It was time to get off work in the afternoon.
When they got into the car, Qiao Qiao tried to persuade Jingcheng. âWhy donât we pick up Little Uncle first?â
Jingcheng said, âl canât go without Third Masterâs order and address.â
Qiao Qiao said angrily, âAlthough itâs unlikely that the Bai family will act rashly, arenât you worried that something will happen to him?â
Jingcheng didnât say anything and focused on driving.
Qiao Qiao silently took out her phone and called Shao Jingmo. The other party couldnât picked up the call for the time being. It was still the same as before. She didnât know if he deliberately didnât answer her call to make her worry.
Oh no, he could be inconvenient to answer. After all, he didnât know sheâd worry about him.
Back at the Qiao residence.
Qiao Qiao didnât show any strange expression in front of Father and Mother Qiao. During the meal, everyone seemed to have an unspoken mutual understanding not to mention Shao Jingmo. At that moment, Qiao Qiao understood that her parents and grandfather knew that Shao Jingmo had gone to see the Bai family today.
Only she didnât know. And she shamelessly found out from Jingcheng later. Late at night.
Qiao Qiao heard the engine of a car. Although it was very soft, she was not asleep at this time, so she heard it very clearly. She immediately got out of bed and quickly went to the window and looked down. When she saw the car, her eyes were filled with smiles. âYouâre back.â
She quickly shuffled out the door and slipped around the corner of the stairs to wait for him to come up. Listening to the approaching footsteps, she timed her appearance and appeared in front of Shao Jingmo. âYouâre back.â
Shao Jingmo did not react in shock or surprise. He raised his hand and loosened his tie. âYouâre still awake.â
Seeing his expressionless face, Qiao Qiao quickly restrained her smile and asked carefully, âDid the negotiation with the Bai family collapse? Iâll see if youâre injured. Did the Bai familyâ¦â
âNo.â Shao Jingmo pushed her away and walked past her. âIâm fine. Go to bed early. Donât stay up late.â
âI stayed up late because of you. I donât usually stay up late.â She didnât know why heâd given her a cold face as soon as she got back. Come to think of it, was it because of the argument with her a month ago?
It seemed so. He had ignored her in the car today.
Qiao Qiao followed him. âl know you went to see the Bai family. You donât have to ask me how I knew. I forced Jingcheng to tell me. I was just very⦠a little worried about you.â
Shao Jingmo had already walked to his bedroom door, and Qiao Qiao had followed him here. He turned sideways. âNothing happened when I met the Bai family. Donât worry. Go back to sleep early.â
With that, he opened the bedroom door and was about to go in.
When he turned around, Qiao Qiao grabbed his tie and questioned him angrily, âShao Jingmo, why are you so strange? Sometimes youâre especially good to me, and sometimes youâre especially cold to me, as if Iâm your emotional trash can. Iâve ignored you for a month, but you really didnât take the initiative to say a word to me. Am I still your wife?!â
Shao Jingmo lowered his head to look at the tie she was holding. Then, he looked at her and said in a calm tone, âWeâre getting married by agreement.
Donât you know best?â
A rhetorical question rendered Qiao Qiao speechless..
