âWhat meeting? Why didnât I know?â
âLetâs go.â
âHey, hey, hey. Why didnât you inform me in advance about the meeting? Shao
Jingmo, walk slower. Itâs easy to fall if I donât see the way clearly.â
âThen Iâll carry you.â
âDonât you dare!â
âl dare!â Before Qiao Qiao could protest, Shao Jingmo picked her up in front of
Father Qiao. Before he left, he specially said to Father Qiao, âIâll leave first.â
Father Qiao was dumbfounded as he watched his daughter be carried away by Shao Jingmo. Mother Qiao walked to Father Qiaoâs side and nudged him with her elbow. âIsnât it strange?â
Father Qiao hissed. âYoung menâs way of dealing with relationships is simple. When they make a fuss, they ignore each other for a month. When they reconcile, he immediately hugs her. Thereâs nothing strange about this though. I havenât found anything strange about what Guigui does since she was young.â
Mother Qiao looked worried. âIâm just worried about what will happen if Guigui really falls into it.â
Father Qiao smiled and said, âItâs normal for her to like him.â
âThe matter with the Bai family hasnât been resolved yet.â Mother Qiao reminded in a low voice, âIf Shao Jingmo can really keep the Bai family in
check, he wouldnât have dragged it out until now. Do you think the Bai family is really to be trifled with? Iâm afraid that Shao Jingmo will go back on his word. At that time, our Guiguiâ¦â
Father Qiaoâs expression turned serious. In the end, he said nothing and turned to go in with a dark expression.
Shao Jingmo carried Qiao Qiao into the car. She was dissatisfied. The first thing she did after he put her in the car was to kick him with the tip of her high heels. The force wasnât heavy, but it wasnât light either. Qiao Qiao herself felt the pain for him. But Shao Jingmoâs face did not even frown. She moved closer. âDoesnât it hurt?â
Shao Jingmo said, âBe gentler next time.â
Qiao Qiao deliberately mocked him. âYouâre pretending so well. I thought you were really made of iron.â
Shao Jingmo stretched out his arm and naturally placed it on her shoulder. He asked her, âWhere are you referring to?â
The smile on Qiao Qiaoâs lips disappeared. She raised her hand and pushed him away. âBe serious.â
Shao Jingmo, who had been pushed away, leaned over again. âWhat are you thinking?â
Qiao Qiao glared at him. âShut up.â
Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows in surprise. âAre you scolding me?â
Qiao Qiao raised her leg again. âNot only am I fierce to you, but Iâm also kicking you.â With that, she kicked him, but this time, she deliberately restrained the strength of her kick. Unexpectedly, when she kicked him this time, her ankle was grabbed. She kicked him twice and could not pull back. âShao Jingmo, let go if you have the ability.â She felt that this posture was a little dangerous.
Especially the dress she was wearing. If she wasnât careful, it would be exposed.
Shao Jingmo pressed the switch with his other hand, and the front panel slowly rose, blocking the view in front of her. Qiao Qiao!s almond-shaped eyes widened slightly. This was the first time she had seen Shao Jingmoâs car raise the partition since she sat in his car.
Usually, when the partition was raised, they were going to do something bad. Qiao Qiao bit her lip and stared at him defensively. Shao Jingmo slowly massaged her ankle. âAre you afraid that Iâll eat you?â
Qiao Qiao said, âDo you dare?â
Shao Jingmo chuckled. âOf course.â
Qiao Qiao shut up. â
Knowing that she couldnât afford to offend a man who had just started eating, Qiao Qiao could still hide. She immediately pounced on him and wrapped her arms around Shao Jingmoâs neck. âIâll be good. Donât bully me, okay?â
With that, Shao Jingmoâs pupils darkened, and his Adamâs apple bobbed. He asked her in a low voice, âSay that again?â
Qiao Qiao was a little afraid, because Shao Jingmoâs gaze seemed to be about to eat her up in the next second. âIâll be good. Donât bully me, okay?â
He lowered his head and kissed her lips. âOkay,â he whispered back to her.
She wasnât relieved to hear his answer, because the hand heâd used to grip her ankle hadnât let go. The repeated, neither light nor heavy rubbing made her heart itch and feel dangerous. Just as she had expected, Shao Jingmo did not let her off easily.
He kissed her again and again until the lip gloss on her mouth was gone. After he took his hand away, Qiao Qiao dared to ask, âWas the brown mark left on your hand the one I made?â
He didnât take it seriously, and she didnât mention it. He raised her hand to look at it, then lowered it. âThink of it as the brand you marked on me,â he said playfully.
Qiao Qiao frowned slightly. âWhy didnât you pull your hand away when I bit you that day? You knew how willful I was, but you still deliberately provoked me and said that it didnât hurt at all as I didnât eat. I donât believe that it really
didnât hurt.â
Shao Jingmo said truthfully, âIt hurts.â
Qiao Qiao complained to him, âThen why did you stillâ¦â
Shao Jingmo said, âl thought youâd be fine after venting.â
Qiao Qiao was speechless. She couldnât help but think of some details. Shao Jingmo was always protective of her and obedient to her. He would respond to everything and consider her feelings immediately. He was lukewarm to her because she said that she had to keep her distance. So he was restraining himself.
A guess gradually appeared in Qiao Qiaoâs mind. She suddenly turned to look at him.
Shao Jingmoâs gaze was on her. When she turned around, they looked at each other. He asked, âWhat do you want to say?â
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and asked uncertainly, âShao Jingmo, have you liked me since a long time ago?â
