Shao Jingmo leaned back and folded his hands in front of his abdomen. He looked up at her. “l promised you that I wouldn’t go to the birthday banquet.”

“But if you don’t go…” Qiao Qiao frowned.

Shao Jingmo said, “What will happen if I don’t go?”

Qiao Qiao closed her eyes, looking weak. She shook her head and sat down.

“I’ll listen to your arrangements. I don’t have anything else to say.”

Her face was filled with conflict. How could Shao Jingmo not see it? However, he would not change his mind about what he had already decided. In short, if he did not attend Old Master Bai t s birthday banquet, he had to leave Xingzhou for a day.

Otherwise, he would have to bring Lin Xingruo along and leave Qiao Qiao at home. He didn’t want to see her jealous and angry, so even if it was just for show, he wouldn’t cooperate. As the next business trip was urgent, Shao

Jingmo reminded her, “You don’t have to go back to the office now. I’ll get Dou Ying to send your bag over. Come to the airport with me later.”

Qiao Qiao nodded obediently. “Got it.”

Shao Jingmo picked up his phone and called Dou Ying. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the conference room door.

Shao Jingmo said, “Come in.”

Dou Ying pushed the door open and walked in. She said, “President Qiao, this is Qiao Qiao’s bag.” Shao Jingmo reached out. Dou Ying immediately handed

her bag to Shao Jingmo and said, “President Qiao, the car to the airport is ready.”

Shao Jingmo nodded. “Go do the rest.”

“Okay.” Dou Ying glanced at Qiao Qiao and turned to leave.

Shao Jingmo got up with his bag and went behind Qiao Qiao. He reached out to her. “We should go.”

“Oh.” She put her hand on it.

At this moment, Qiao Qiao’s mood was in a mess. She had a lot to say, but it didn’t seem appropriate to say a word. Once she said it, it would disrupt Shao Jingmo’s plan. Now that Shao Jingmo’s forces were all over Xingzhou, the Bai family had never dared to attack her because they were afraid of Shao Jingmo.

But then again, the Bai family did not dare to offend Shao Jingmo easily. What about Grandpa?

Grandpa was the only one attending tonight. What would the Bai family do to Grandpa?

Qiao Qiao, who had been conflicted for a long time, finally mustered her courage and said to Shao Jingmo when the elevator was about to reach the first floor, “Little Uncle, why don’t you attend Old Master Bai l s birthday banquet?”

Shao Jingmo looked at her sideways.

Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. “If you want to scold someone, scold me.”

Shao Jingmo asked her, “Then what should I scold you about?”

Qiao Qiao said, “Anything is fine, as long as you’re happy.”

Shao Jingmo’s voice was cold. “Is this the solution you’ve thought of for a long time?”

Qiao Qiao bit her lip. “I’m worried about Grandpa. If you don’t go to the Bai family, will the Bai family embarrass Grandpa? Why don’t you take Lin Xingruo with you?”

Ding!

The elevator reached the first floor.

Shao Jingmo held Qiao Qiao’s hand and walked out of the elevator. As he walked, he said, “You just saw me help her up and you ran away from home. How can you tolerate her attending the birthday banquet with me today?”

Qiao Qiao said, “I—

Shao Jingmo stopped in his tracks, and so did Qiao Qiao. He looked at her. “Is it possible, after a sober and rational balance, to find that even something you can’t stand seems to be easy to accept because of some things?”

This question stumped Qiao Qiao, She looked at him nervously. “It’s not…”

Shao Jingmo said, “l don’t want a satisfactory answer. You don’t have to make things difficult for yourself to give me a reluctant answer. I know.” With that, he suddenly let go of her hand.

The moment he let go, Qiao Qiao felt her heart drop.

Shao Jingmo asked one last time, “I’ll give you another choice. Go on a business trip with me, or watch me bring another woman to the birthday banquet?”

Qiao Qiao frowned. “Little Uncle…”

Shao Jingmo said, “You just need to answer.”

It took a lot of courage for Qiao Qiao to say, “You, you go…”

Before she could finish, Shao Jingmo interrupted, “Okay, I’ll go.”

Shao Jingmo returned the bag to her. “Then cancel the business trip. You won’t need to go back to the office now. Try to go back to the Qiao residence as soon as possible.” He finished his instructions and turned to leave.

Qiao Qiao stepped forward and asked, “What about you? Where are you going

Shao Jingmo ignored her and walked out. Qiao Qiao sighed. In the end, she could only take the elevator back to the office alone. When she met Dou Ying on the way, Dou Ying was surprised.. “Aren’t you on a business trip with President Qiao?”
