On the other end of the line, Mother Qiaoâs tone was unreadable. She only asked, âWhere are you?â
Qiao Qiao said, âOutside.â Mother Qiao said, âWhere outside?â
Qiao Qiao tried to lie. âJustâ¦â
But before she could tell the lie, Mother Qiao interrupted. âYouâd better tell the truth.â
Qiao Qiao choked. âAt the Tianfang Water Pavilion.â
The call suddenly fell silent. Mother Qiao didnât ask anything else for a long time. Qiao Qiao poked her head out and glanced in the direction of the kitchen. It was impossible to go back tonight.
How could she bear to go back now when she had run away from home and used her willfulness to exchange for some alone time?
Fortunately, Mother Qiao did not say that she wanted her to go back. She only asked her, âHave you had dinner?â
Qiao Qiao replied, âNot yet. Little Uncle is cooking now.â
Mother Qiao nodded. âThen eat. Come back early after work tomorrow.â Qiao Qiao asked, âWhatâs the matter tomorrow?â
Mother Qiao said, âNothing much. Now that your cousin is here, itâs good to accompany her.â
Qiao Qiao agreed. âGot it.â
At the same time as the call ended, Shao Jingmo came out of the kitchen with two bowls of seafood noodles. He shouted, âQiao Guigui, wash your hands and eat the noodles.â
Qiao Qiao went to wash her hands and realized that Shao Jingmo had even placed chopsticks for her. She sat down and picked up her chopsticks. âIâm still blessed with food.â
Shao Jingmo pushed the plate of octopus sauce in front of her. âYouâre lucky just by eating a bowl of noodles. Youâre too easily satisfied.â
Qiao Qiao scooped a spoonful of octopus sauce into the noodles and stirred it evenly. âIâm not greedy to begin with. Iâll be satisfied with a little.â
Shao Jingmo looked at her. âThen I hope youâre a little greedy. After all, the money your husband saved up for you over the years is enough for you to squander for a few lifetimes.â
Qiao Qiao took a slurp of noodles, her expression as satisfied as her mood.
âIâm a person who spends a lot. What if I finish spending it in advance?â
Shao Jingmo stirred the noodles in his bowl. âThen Iâll continue to earn until you have enough to spend.â
Qiao Qiao was satisfied with this dinner.
The portion was better, and she wouldnât be especially full. If she hadnât remembered to maintain her figure, she probably wouldnât have been able to help but pick another handful of noodles from Shao Jingmoâs bowl.
Fortunately, she held back.
After dinner, she accompanied Shao Jingmo to clear the dishes. After that, the two of them watched a movie together. Qiao Qiao thought that she was the only one paying attention. Shao Jingmo just accompanied her to watch casually.
However, she realized that when she was excited, Shao Jingmo could follow up with two sentences about the plot development. She also asked with a very surprised expression, âYouâre watching?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shao Jingmo raised his hand and tapped her forehead. âThen do you think Iâm sitting here with you and not watching it?â
She giggled and snuggled into his arms as she continued to watch the entire movie. At the end of the film, she didnât know how she got together with Shao Jingmo. She forgot the beginning and the process.
After that, it was out of control.
It was very late. Shao Jingmo carried Qiao Qiao into the bathroom in the bedroom. The sound of the water didnât stop for a long time. When they came out again, it was already late at night.
Qiao Qiao fell asleep as soon as she fell into bed.
The next morning, Qiao Qiao was woken up by Shao Jingmo very early. If it was Sunday, she would definitely be angry when she woke up, but she had to go to work. She endured it, but she silently scolded Shao Jingmo thousands of times.
They arrived at the company.
Shao Jingmo took Qiao Qiao to the top floor for a meeting. Qiao Qiao was almost yawning the entire time. She had no choice. She couldnât help it. She was too sleepy.
Song Yun, who was sitting beside her, asked her, âDid you not sleep well last night?â
Qiao Qiao was about to yawn for the fifth time when she heard Song Yunâs question. She quickly adjusted her expression. âl didnât sleep well.â Song Yun asked, âStaying up late to play with your phone?â
Qiao Qiao said, ââ¦Yes.â
Song Yun reminded her, âTry not to stay up late playing with your phone. Itâs not good for your eyes and your physiology will be imbalanced.â
Qiao Qiao buried her face in her hands. âYes, Iâll be careful.â
Song Yun kept feeling that there was something wrong with Qiao Qiaoâs reaction, but she didnât intend to ask further. Just as she was about to look away, she was suddenly attracted by a mark on Qiao Qiaoâs neck.
After seeing the mark, Song Yun finally understood why she felt that Qiao
Qiaoâs reaction was not right. Song Yun smiled meaningfully. Coincidentally, Qiao Qiao looked up and saw the meaningful smile on Song Yunâs face. At that moment, Qiao Qiao really wanted to find a gap to hide in.
âQiao Qiao!â Shao Jingmo shouted.
For a moment, everyoneâs eyes fell on Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao tensed up and looked at Shao Jingmo in confusion. âPresident Qiao, whatâs wrong?â Shao Jingmo said, âCome on a business trip with me later.â
Qiao Qiao asked, âBusiness trip?â
After the meeting ended, the others left the meeting room one after another, leaving only Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo. They were both still sitting.
Qiao Qiao asked curiously, âHow long is the business trip?â
Shao Jingmo said, âWeâll be back tomorrow morning.â
Qiao Qiao stood up.. âIsnât it Bai Fengjiangs birthday banquet tonight? Arenât you going?â
