Qiao Qiao hung up his coat and came over. She saw a rose in Shao Jingmo’s palm.
“Who sent it?” he asked, looking at her.
This tone sounded inexplicably interrogative to Qiao Qiao, but she didn’t lie to Shao Jingmo. “It’s… from Bai Chen.”
Shao Jingmo was not surprised to hear this name. “He was here.”
Qiao Qiao nodded. “Yes, he came once.” Afraid that Shao Jingmo would be angry and think that she had come into contact with the Bai family, she deliberately explained, “But I didn’t let him in. I only spoke to him through the door. The bodyguards you arranged can prove it.”
Shao Jingmo walked up to her with the rose in his hand and asked, “What did you talk about?”
Qiao Qiao tried to take the rose from his palm. “He took advantage of your absence to fool me and even changed his surname to trick me into opening the door for him. I’m not stupid. How could I open the door for him just because he changed his surname?”
Shao Jingmo raised his hand slightly and avoided her hand, not letting her take the rose away. “You didn’t open the door for him and even took his roses.
Do you know what this means?”
The smile on Qiao Qiao’s lips slowly disappeared. “Why so serious?” She pointed to the rose in his palm. “The reason I took his flowers was because I didn’t open the door for him to come in. He’d been standing outside the door for so long that I was overflowing with goodwill. I only took one. I won’t take it again.”
Shao Jingmo looked at the vase on the table. Although he didn’t say anything, he took one look at the vase and Qiao Qiao knew something was wrong. She quickly explained, “l didn’t bring these flowers up.”
Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. “Is that so?”
Qiao Qiao felt a little aggrieved. “Mom brought me milk and brought it up. She said that this rose is very beautiful. Coincidentally, there are no flowers in my room. It looks good.”
“It looks good…” Shao Jingmo’s fingertips loosened slightly.
Just as the rose was about to fall from his hand, he suddenly pinched the flower just as it was about to leave his palm. Qiao Qiao didn’t know what he was going to do. But she soon found out. She saw Shao Jingmo shatter the flower with her own eyes before turning to leave.
Qiao Qiao was stunned for a few seconds until Shao Jingmo opened the door. She reacted and immediately chased after him. She pressed the open door and refused to let him leave. “Why are you so angry? Didn’t I explain everything?”
Shao Jingmo looked very tired. “Move aside.”
Qiao Qiao really didn’t understand why he was so angry. “Are you so angry because I accepted a rose from Bai Chen?”
Shao Jingmo did not say a word.
However, that cold expression and attitude had already silently said everything.
Qiao Qiao really felt that he was being too overbearing, but she thought about how angry she had been when she only saw him help Lin Xingruo up.
Thinking about it this way, Shao Jingmo’s anger seemed understandable.
She had never convinced herself before half a minute had passed. She blocked his way and did not walk away. “l can explain in more detail and clearer than that about Bai Chen giving me flowers. I’ll answer whatever you ask, including everything I said to him. Isn’t that enough?”
For the first time, she put on such a low front in front of him. However, he was Shao Jingmo. She was willing to lower her attitude in front of him. “Don’t be angry. I promise you that I won’t accept anything from Bai Chen in the future.’
She said as much. However, Shao Jingmo said, “Are you done?” Qiao Qiao was stunned.
Shao Jingmo said, “Move aside after you’re done. I’m tired.”
Qiao Qiao was in a daze until Shao Jingmo left her. She stood at the side in a daze and watched him leave.
“Shao Jingmo!” Qiao Qiao shouted at his back. However, Shao Jingmo had already walked away and did not look back. Qiao Qiao didn’t chase after him. Instead, she raised her hand and slammed the door, scolding, “Stupid bastard!! I’ll at least listen to you when I’m angry. What about you? You’re not even willing to listen to a word of my serious explanation. Do you think I have to have you…”
The more she scolded, the softer Qiao Qiao’s voice became. She slowly squatted down and hugged her knees. She pouted aggrievedly. “It seems that you’re really the only one, you stinky bastard…”
Qiao Qiao was silent for dozens of seconds, looking forward to Shao Jingmo’s return in ten seconds.
But ten seconds passed, thirty seconds passed, and two minutes passed. Shao Jingmo still didn’t come back. Qiao Qiao’s legs were numb from squatting. When she stood up, she almost fell..
