“You can’t talk too much, right?” Qiao Qiao turned around and left. “I’ll tell Little Uncle tonight that you didn’t follow the code of due diligence and left me to go out to play alone in the company.”
Jingcheng followed Qiao Qiao’s footsteps and said as he walked, “Miss, tell me yourself. Will Third Master believe you?”
Qiao Qiao said, “Then I’ll get Little Uncle to fire you.”
Jingcheng said, “No, Third Master won’t fire me.”
Seeing that Jingcheng was stubborn, Qiao Qiao snorted. “I’m the lady boss now. Shao Jingmo’s woman in name. I can fire you on his behalf.”
Jingcheng was terrified. “Miss, don’t talk me out of it so easily. I’ll tell you, but you can’t tell my Third Master.”
They entered the elevator at the same time. There was no one else in the elevator at this time, only Qiao Qiao and Jingcheng. Qiao Qiao leaned against the elevator wall and snorted with laughter. “Are you stupid? How could 1 tell him?”
Next, Jingcheng honestly explained to Qiao Qiao why Shao Jingmo didn’t answer the phone and where he had gone after sending her back to the company—
Qiao Qiao frantically pressed the elevator switch. Jingcheng was stunned for a few seconds, then asked in a daze, “Miss, what are you doing?” Qiao Qiao wasn’t very calm. “Of course to find Shao Jingmo.”
Jing Cheng asked, “Miss, do you know where Third Master is?”
Qiao Qiao turned her head and looked confused for a few seconds. “Isn’t it the Bai family?”
“l didn’t say that Third Master went to the Bai family. I only said that Third Master went to meet the people from the Bai family. However, the venue was decided by the Bai family, but it’s definitely not in the Bai residence,” Jingcheng said.
Qiao Qiao slowly retracted her hand from pressing the elevator switch. “He beat up that person from the Bai family last time. Won’t he be in danger when he goes to see the Bai family this time?”
She did not deny that when she heard from Jingcheng that Shao Jingmo had gone to see the Bai family, her mind was filled with other than going to Shao Jingmo’s side, she was also worried about his safety.
“Miss, don’t worry. Third Master has his own arrangements before doing anything. Although Third Master left me by your side, this doesn’t mean that
Third Master doesn’t have other bodyguards by his side. Moreover, with Third Master’s current status and influence in Xingzhou, the Bai family isn’t just stupid enough to dare to attack Third Master.”
Jingchengs words calmed Qiao Qiao down a lot. The Bai family was at least afraid of Shao Jingmo’s current status in Xingzhou. Perhaps they were just sitting down to drink tea and chat this time. There was no need to make a fuss.
And there was still more than a month before her birthday…
Qiao Qiao wasn’t in the mood to work this afternoon. From time to time, she would ask Jingcheng, who was standing in the corner like a statue, “Is Little Uncle back?”
Jingcheng shook his head. “Miss, not yet.”
Qiao Qiao was very disappointed. Even though she asked every once in a while, it was still the same answer.
It was time to get off work in the afternoon.
When they got into the car, Qiao Qiao tried to persuade Jingcheng. “Why don’t we pick up Little Uncle first?”
Jingcheng said, “l can’t go without Third Master’s order and address.”
Qiao Qiao said angrily, “Although it’s unlikely that the Bai family will act rashly, aren’t you worried that something will happen to him?”
Jingcheng didn’t say anything and focused on driving.
Qiao Qiao silently took out her phone and called Shao Jingmo. The other party couldn’t picked up the call for the time being. It was still the same as before. She didn’t know if he deliberately didn’t answer her call to make her worry.
Oh no, he could be inconvenient to answer. After all, he didn’t know she’d worry about him.
Back at the Qiao residence.
Qiao Qiao didn’t show any strange expression in front of Father and Mother Qiao. During the meal, everyone seemed to have an unspoken mutual understanding not to mention Shao Jingmo. At that moment, Qiao Qiao understood that her parents and grandfather knew that Shao Jingmo had gone to see the Bai family today.
Only she didn’t know. And she shamelessly found out from Jingcheng later. Late at night.
Qiao Qiao heard the engine of a car. Although it was very soft, she was not asleep at this time, so she heard it very clearly. She immediately got out of bed and quickly went to the window and looked down. When she saw the car, her eyes were filled with smiles. “You’re back.”
She quickly shuffled out the door and slipped around the corner of the stairs to wait for him to come up. Listening to the approaching footsteps, she timed her appearance and appeared in front of Shao Jingmo. “You’re back.”
Shao Jingmo did not react in shock or surprise. He raised his hand and loosened his tie. “You’re still awake.’
Seeing his expressionless face, Qiao Qiao quickly restrained her smile and asked carefully, “Did the negotiation with the Bai family collapse? I’ll see if you’re injured. Did the Bai family…”
“No.” Shao Jingmo pushed her away and walked past her. “I’m fine. Go to bed early. Don’t stay up late.”
“I stayed up late because of you. I don’t usually stay up late.” She didn’t know why he’d given her a cold face as soon as she got back. Come to think of it, was it because of the argument with her a month ago?
It seemed so. He had ignored her in the car today.
Qiao Qiao followed him. “l know you went to see the Bai family. You don’t have to ask me how I knew. I forced Jingcheng to tell me. I was just very… a little worried about you.”
Shao Jingmo had already walked to his bedroom door, and Qiao Qiao had followed him here. He turned sideways. “Nothing happened when I met the Bai family. Don’t worry. Go back to sleep early.”
With that, he opened the bedroom door and was about to go in.
When he turned around, Qiao Qiao grabbed his tie and questioned him angrily, “Shao Jingmo, why are you so strange? Sometimes you’re especially good to me, and sometimes you’re especially cold to me, as if I’m your emotional trash can. I’ve ignored you for a month, but you really didn’t take the initiative to say a word to me. Am I still your wife?!”
Shao Jingmo lowered his head to look at the tie she was holding. Then, he looked at her and said in a calm tone, “We’re getting married by agreement.
Don’t you know best?”
A rhetorical question rendered Qiao Qiao speechless..
