Chapter 508: Worried About His Kidney
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The night passed peacefully.
Although Qiao Qiao was worried that there was no one beside Shao Jingmo, she was actually not of much use here. Besides, she slept so soundly at night that she didn’t even know when she went to bed.
As Shao Jingmo was hugging her, it affected his wound as expected. He endured the discomfort from his waist injury and leaned over to tuck her in.
Qiao Qiao turned around and hugged Shao Jingmo’s arm, rubbing her cheek against the back of his hand.
Shao Jingmo tried to pull his arm back, but she seemed to treat his arm as some important treasure. She hugged it tightly and did not let go. She even said something at the corner of her mouth. It was too soft for him to hear.
Shao Jingmo hesitated for a moment before lying down beside her.
As soon as he lay down, Qiao Qiao followed the heat on his body and moved over. He glanced at her and took the opportunity to pull his arm out of her arms and extend it to the back of her head. She immediately found the most comfortable position in his arms.
Shao Jingmo looked at the girl in his arms and said softly, “You came here yourself.”
Qiao Qiao was already asleep. She had no idea how much she had taken the initiative to snuggle into Shao Jingmo’s arms after falling asleep.
The next morning, a thin mist of frost had condensed on the window.
Qiao Qiao woke up from Shao Jingmo’s arms. She rubbed her eyes and wanted to stretch, but she couldn’t stretch her arms. Her palm touched a warm hard lump. She thought it was the sofa wall, so she arched against it again.
She suddenly realized that something was How could the sofa be so warm? And there was a faint smell of iodophor…
Thinking of a certain possibility, Qiao Qiao’s eyes suddenly widened. She raised her eyes and looked at the scene in front of her. She was so frightened that she suddenly sat up straight and became completely energetic.
Shao Jingmo had been sitting at the head of the bed for half an hour. He did not get out of bed or disturb her sleep. He sat quietly until she woke up faintly. He watched her stretch and arch into his arms. Finally, he saw her react belatedly. After sitting up straight, she looked at him with a shocked expression.
They looked at each other for a moment. The air was so still it was awkward.
“Did you sleep well last night?”
It was Shao Jingmo who spoke first and broke the awkwardness between the two of them.
Qiao Qiao’s face heated up. She glanced away and didn’t dare to look at him. She whispered back, “Yes, I slept very well.”
She was warm the entire night. She was even wondering why the air conditioner was not as comfortable as last night’s sleep. It turned out that she was sleeping in Shao Jingmo’s arms. She was really good!
She just couldn’t remember when she’d gotten into bed. She lowered her head and quietly checked her clothes. They were all fine and there was nothing wrong. Then, she moved her limbs slightly. There was no soreness.
Fortunately, Shao Jingmo was a gentleman and did not do anything to her last night. Her thoughts were all expressed in her actions, making it difficult for Shao Jingmo to ignore them. “Don’t worry. With my current situation, I can’t do anything to you.”
These words were meant to reassure Qiao Qiao, but after hearing them, Qiao Qiao automatically understood another meaning. “Little Uncle, your injury is on your waist and abdomen. That position is close to your kidney. Did it hurt your kidney too?”
When Qiao Qiao asked this question, there was clear stupidity in her eyes. At first glance, she didn’t sound like she was teasing. She just wanted to know if the wound on his waist and abdomen would hurt his internal organs.
This was also why she was sometimes sneaky, but sometimes clearly stupid. It was because she kept asking inappropriate questions at the wrong time.
For example, at this moment.
Shao Jingmo looked at her. “Are you worried about my injury or my kidney?”
Qiao Qiao answered truthfully, “Both.”
Shao Jingmo’s gaze deepened. “It didn’t hurt my kidney, and it doesn’t affect it much.’
Qiao Qiao said, “That’s good.”
She smiled. She was happy for Shao Jingmo. At least his internal organs weren’t hurt. As she smiled, the smile on her lips gradually froze. She suddenly looked at Shao Jingmo and quickly waved her hand to explain, “To be clear, I was just worried that you would hurt your internal organs. I didn’t mean that.”
What did that mean? She had just realized.
Did Shao Jingmo think that she was worried about her future sexual happiness? God, she really didn’t think that way!
Seeing that Shao Jingmo didn’t say anything, Qiao Qiao thought that he didn’t believe her. She quickly tidied her clothes and continued to explain to him, “I really didn’t covet you. I didn’t think about the future. I was really just worried about your health.”
Since she had already explained it so clearly, Shao Jingmo shouldn’t have misunderstood, right? She glanced at Shao Jingmo’s expression. Tsk, he didn’t look too good. Why did he seem even angrier after she explained?
It must have been those words that offended him. She would definitely think before she spoke next time. She couldn’t think or say anything else.
Qiao Qiao quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw that Shao Jingmo had also woken up and was standing in front of the French window to answer the call. Qiao Qiao slowed down and walked towards Shao Jingmo quietly.
Shao Jingmo was still wearing the black shirt from yesterday. It was a little wrinkled after a night, but it did not matter. At this moment, he was holding his cell phone in one hand to listen to the phone, and his other hand was in his pocket. His tall figure stood there like a human wall.
She had seen his figure last night, but she had not been in the mood to admire it carefully. Now, she secretly regretted not taking a second look.
It was rare to see a man in his thirties who took such good care of his figure.
She walked to Shao Jingmo’s side. When he noticed her appearance, he naturally glanced sideways at her, then looked away and continued to listen to the phone. Qiao Qiao didn’t disturb him. Bored, she raised her hand and drew on the French window in front of her.
She drew a flower, a cloud, and a smiley face. Finally, she wrote her name and smiled happily. She smiled foolishly and did not notice that Shao Jingmo was looking at her and making those lively expressions.
He looked at her for a long time until the person on the other end of the line finished reporting the matter and ended the call. Only then did he turn around. When he moved, Qiao Qiao sensed something and turned around, restraining the expression on her face.
“Little Uncle, are you done with the call?” she asked with a smile.
Although she called him Shao Jingmo yesterday, that was yesterday. Ever since she woke up this morning, she had been calling him Little Uncle obediently. Her tone was not as arrogant as yesterday.
Shao Jingmo put away his phone. “Just wait by the side for as long as I answer the call. What’s the matter?”
Qiao Qiao clasped her hands in front of her and said bashfully, “Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you want to continue staying in a hotel.” “Depends.” Shao Jingmo asked her, “Where do you want to live?”
Qiao Qiao said, “The hotel might not be that safe. I have to go to the MO residence first, then to the Li Mansion. Xixi said that when you come, we’ll stay at the Li Mansion together. It’s safe there.”
She used to be very bold, but it was different now because her personal safety was threatened..
