Chapter 323: Chapter 323: How to Woo Your Wife_1 Chapter 323: Chapter 323: How to Woo Your Wife_1 As soon as she left the company, she saw that the moving company and housekeeper were already waiting at the gate.
“Miss Qiao, right? We’re here to help with your move. Don’t worry, we work efficiently and we should be finished by the end of the morning.” The uncle stepped forward, seeming rather enthusiastic.
“Thank you, I appreciate your help, I’ll lead the way.” Qiao Xiaren pulled out her keys from her bag, opened the car door and bent over to get in. Under the sunlight, her exquisite profile cast a beautiful silhouette.
Knowing his place, Si Limo went around the front of the car and got into the passenger seat from the other side. Qiao Xiaren took a glance at him but did not urge him to leave. Si Limo understood–this was a good start.
“That text message you sent me the other night, what did you mean by that?”
Resting his face on one hand while lightly stroking his chin with the other, he glanced at her sideways, a deepening smile in his eyes. She was so adorable, how could he like her so much?
“Can’t you understand Chinese?” Qiao Xiaren shot him a glance and continued driving without distraction. His gaze was too invasive, as though making her feel a creeping sense of alarm.
“I understand the text, but I’m unclear about the intention behind it. Do you think that counts as accepting me? Speaking of which, Ranran is 18 years old this year, already an adult.” Si Limo’s lips curled up into a soft smile.
Qiao Xiaren didn’t respond. If he wanted to know her intentions, he would have to guess for himself.
Ranran had said that they would be together after finishing filming “Prague Lovers”. Si Limo’s eyes, glistening with a hint of serene blue, would definitely ensnare her if she really took that step towards him and drag her deep into his swamp, trapping her forever.
“So, you love me after all.” Si Limo sounded a bit smug, “Finally, you want me now?”
He teased her subtly and effortlessly, nearly making Qiao Xiaren burst into laughter. If he was this shameless now, what would he be like in the future? Xiaren was someone who was unfamiliar with men and couldn’t fathom their intentions.
She was even more confused about matters of love.
“How come I never noticed how talkative you are before?”
Fortunately, the distance to her apartment wasn’t too far. The car stopped out front as soon as she stepped on the gas pedal. She was about to unlock the door when she felt a warm breath by her ear.
“In the future, I’ll talk more.” He slightly rubbed her shoulder, “This year you turned 18. By the time you’re 20, marry me.”
Remembering the agreement for a three-year wait, Qiao Xiaren felt this was far from a compromise, rather more like a tyrannical command.
“Si Limo, I said we would discuss this after the drama ends. What are you doing now?” Qiao Xiaren pushed against his chest with her hand, “There’s still a few months left, what’s the rush?”
“Of course, I’m in a hurry, I can’t bear to wait.””
Though others often referred to him as an iceberg, Si Limo felt the equivalent of crashing into an iceberg whenever he encountered Qiao Xiaren. She didn’t have the daintiness and amiable charm of other girls but she was the best in his eyes.
He was on the verge of winning his wife over, he didn’t mind having a bit more skin in the game, actively flirting with her.
“Alright, others must be anxious waiting.” Qiao Xiaren pushed him off, a faint blush creeping up her cheeks. She got out of the car, slightly flustered.
Si Limo didn’t rush to leave the car, he just watched as Qiao Xiaren’s figure hastily receded. His hand rested on the top of the seat, a soft curve appeared on his lips.
There wasn’t much to move from the apartment. The villa in Lishui, on the other hand, needed a lot of new furniture. Qiao Xiaren had listed all the necessary items a few days ago and made the orders online. Now, all that’s needed was for the moving company to transport them.
