Lin Xingruo paused and the smile on her lips widened to the maximum. She looked harmless. âBut sometimes good looks might not be suitable.â
The air was suddenly quiet.
Qiao Qiao raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Lin Xingruo.
The smile on Lin Xingruoâs face was as bright as before. âSister Qiao Qiao, am I right?â
Lin Xingruoâs thoughts were too obvious. She didnât hide them at all, allowing Qiao Qiao to see them clearly. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she could tolerate it. She looked at Lin Xingruo and smiled. âSister Xingruo is too right. It might not be suitable. Iâm not the only one who has to remember this sentence, You have to remember this sentence too.â
Old Master Qiaoâs voice came. âAlright.â
Qiao Qiao and Lin Xingruo looked at Old Master Qiao at the same time.
Old Master Qiao smiled and said, âl know that the two of you are close. There are too many things to talk about the moment you meet. Thereâs plenty of time later. It doesnât matter if you didnât chat for a while tonight.â With that, Old Master Qiao looked at Lin Xingruo. âXingruo, are you ready? If youâre ready, weâll set off for the Bai family.â
Lin Xingruo said, âGrandpa, Iâm ready.â
Old Master Qiao nodded. âThen letâs go.â
Lin Xingruo walked forward and stood beside Mother Qiao. âAunt, let me do it. â
Mother Qiao smiled and made way. âBe careful.â
âl know,â Lin Xingruo replied, then pushed Old Master Qiao out.
Soon, two servants came in to help.
In addition, Shao Jingmo had also returned. He got out of the car and personally helped Old Master Qiao into the car. Lin Xingruo stood at the side shyly, her eyes never leaving Shao Jingmo.
Mother Qiao glanced sideways at her daughter. âAre you jealous?â
Qiao Qiaoâs gaze met Shao Jingmoâs for a moment. He didnât seem to see anything wrong with her. When Lin Xingruo got into the car, he got in too. As the car drove away, Qiao Qiao retracted her gaze and answered Mother Qiao untruthfully, âIâve never liked to be jealous since I was young. I donât know what itâs like to be jealous at all.â
Niother Qiao laughed at her. âThen why do you look so lonely?â
Qiao Qiao didnât realize that her emotions were all on her face at this moment.
She only restrained her expression when she heard Mother Qiaoâs reminder. âl just donât understand why Grandpa insisted on calling Lin Xingruo.â Mother Qiao pulled Qiao Qiao to the cafeteria.
Mother and daughter sat opposite each other. Mother Qiao asked her, âWhy canât it be Xingruo?â
This sentence brought back a lot of Qiao Qiaoâs troubled past.
She raised her wrist and rested her chin on her palm. She told Mother Qiao some of the past. In the end, Qiao Qiaoâs tone unconsciously became much heavier. âIn short, as long as itâs something I have, unless she doesnât like it. Once she likes it, she will definitely want something like me. As time passed, I wonât let her know if I meet something 1 like or something fun.â
Mother Qiao said, âl know all this.â
Qiao Qiao said nothing.
Mother Qiao asked, âThen are you worried that Xingruo will snatch Jingmo from you now?â
This question was a question of death.
Qiao Qiao didnât dare admit her feelings for Shao Jingmo in front of her mother, but it would be against her conscience to say that she didnât care. Even if Shao Jingmo wasnât here, she didnât want to say that.
âAlright, donât be so difficult. Mom wonât ask anymore. Itâs just the three of us for dinner tonight. After dinner later, go to bed early. When you wake up, a lot of things will be resolved.â
Qiao Qiao nodded. âGot it.â
The dishes were served one after another.
Mother Qiao got up. âIâll get your father.â
Qiao Qiao nodded. âOkay.â
As soon as Mother Qiao left, the servant who came in walked to Qiao Qiaoâs side. âMiss, someone is here to visit.â
Qiao Qiao asked, âWho is it?â
The servant said, âThe other party said that he drank with you at Bar Buff. Youâre friends. His name is Bai Chen.â
The moment she finished speaking, Qiao Qiao suddenly stood up. âBai Chen?â The maid nodded.
Qiao Qiao hesitated for two seconds before saying, âIâll go take a look first.â
The Qiao residenceâs iron door was not opened for Bai Chen. At this moment, Bai Chen was holding a bouquet of red roses and leaning against the iron door.
Seeing Qiao Qiao come out, he immediately stood up straight and looked at her. âI thought you wouldnât see me.â
Qiao Qiao stood inside the door and looked at Bai Chen through the metal door. âYouâre already here. Bai Chen, youâre bold enough to wrap a bouquet of roses. Where did you get this?â
Bai Chen smiled. âl bought it on the way here, I wonder if you like it?â
Qiao Qiao was surprised. âYou bought me flowers?â
Bai Chen nodded. âYes.â
Qiao Qiao looked puzzled. âYou came to my house and even bought me flowers. Bai Chen, what exactly do you want?â
The smile on Bai Chenâs lips deepened. âGuess.â
âAre you a child? You want me to guess? Let me tell you, leave now, or Iâll let the dog bite you.â Qiao Qiao pretended to be fierce.
She had no ill intentions towards Bai Chen. Because he was not a real member of the Bai family. But she would not get close to Bai Chen because he belonged to the Bai family.
However, Bai Chen did not leave because of her tone. He held the bouquet of roses in one hand and placed his other hand on the door. âThereâs a happy occasion in the Bai family tonight. Iâve never been liked by the Bai family, and I donât have anywhere to go tonight. I wanted to buy a bouquet of flowers to freeload from you. Why donât you take me in on account of how pitiful I am?â Qiao Qiao snorted. âAre you teaching me to lure wolves into my house?â
Bai Chen asked, âDo you know what the Bai family is planning to do tonight?â
Qiao Qiao glanced at him. âWhat do you mean? What are you trying to say?â
Bai Chen knocked on the iron door three times. âIf you want to know what happens next, please open the door..â
