One Week Is Too Long
Qiao Qiao sniffled and turned her face away. "No one."
"No one makes you look so aggrieved?" He Shaochen snorted and wiped the tears off her face. "In Country A, there is no one that I, He Shaochen, cannot touch. Who is it?"
Whoever dared to bully his woman would definitely not be able to survive in this country.
"No one, really."
"Qiao Qiao, you …"
He Shaochen was a little annoyed. Why was this woman so stubborn? He had already said that no matter who it was, he had the ability to deal with them. What was she afraid of?
Qiao Qiao lowered her head. She had her own considerations.
There was no point in telling him about her meeting with Mother He today.
Everyone had different standpoints and it was normal for them to not get along.
Even if she told He Shaochen, he wouldn't really do anything shocking. Instead, it would be difficult for him to be sandwiched between her and his mother.
Anyway, Mother He wouldn't be so free as to come looking for trouble, right?
It wasn't a big deal to bear with it for a while. Moreover, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
"No one bullied me. I just …"
"Just what?" He Shaochen stared at her. If she couldn't give him a reasonable explanation, he would teach her a lesson!
Qiao Qiao paused for a moment. Her mind was racing as she tried to think of a better reason to brush him off.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
A few seconds later, she said, "I'm a little homesick."
"…"
He Shaochen looked at her suspiciously. "Homesick? Your family isn't in City A? "
Qiao Qiao shook her head. "It's in City D."
It was a few thousand kilometers away. It was quite far.
He Shaochen looked at her and confirmed again. "You're really just homesick?"
Qiao Qiao nodded as if she was afraid that the other party would not believe her. "I haven't been back for almost half a year. I only talk to them on the phone. I don't even know how they are doing."
He Shaochen seemed to accept this reason. He tugged at Qiao Qiao's face, feeling both annoyed and amused. "How old are you? Homesick? Isn't that childish? "
Qiao Qiao slapped his paw away and glared at him. She retorted, "Homesickness is childish? He Shao Master, your way of thinking is very childish, just like those chuunibyou youths. "
"What Chuunibyou?" He Shaochen was always puzzled by Qiao Qiao's words, but his intuition told him that they were not good words.
"Their values haven't matured yet, and they're still very paranoid."
He Shaochen was furious when he heard this.
He was so angry that he wanted to pull the other's face again. Qiaoqiao had the foresight to cover her own face and angrily accused: "Moreover, you will often do childish things like pinching people's faces."
"Ha, so this chuunibyou is tailor-made for me, right?"
Qiao Qiao's eyes flashed slyly. She smiled faintly. "It's good that you know."
"Qiao Qiao, do you think I'm a fool?"
Qiao Qiao was astonished. "How did you know?"
He Shaochen's veins bulged. This damned woman, did she think that she could do whatever she wanted just because he doted on her?
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Qiao Qiao's tear-stained eyelashes and saw her gradually revealing a smile. In the end, he sighed.
Forget it, he could not be bothered to argue with her.
"Can I go home?" Qiao Qiao asked tentatively.
He Shaochen gave her a sideways glance. "I'm not imprisoning you. If you want to go home, you can go home."
"Really?" Qiao Qiao had been worried about this matter. What if He Shaochen did not agree? She did not expect him to be so easy to talk to.
He Shaochen laughed when he saw Qiao Qiao's expression as if she had seen a great bargain.
"I won't restrict your freedom, as long as there's a limit."
"Mm, thank you."
Qiao Qiao said as she prepared to go upstairs to pack her luggage.
He Shaochen asked, "Do I need to book a plane ticket for you? What about the school? "
"I've already booked a train ticket, and the school has also applied for leave from the counselor."
"…"
So she had already planned this a long time ago and was just waiting for his approval?
He Shaochen put on a fake smile. When he saw Qiao Qiao packing her luggage, although she was busy, her face was full of smiles. He suddenly felt a little upset.
Was she that happy to leave him?
He leaned against the door and looked at Qiao Qiao lazily. He asked casually, "How long will you be back for?"
"Mm? I took a week's leave. "
"That long?" He Shaochen frowned.
"Long?" Qiao Qiao paused. She looked up and saw He Shaochen's face darken. He was glaring at her unhappily, his eyes clearly saying "I'm very angry".
Qiao Qiao's mouth twitched. Was a week very long?
"I haven't been home for a long time. It's about a week."
"Can't you shorten the time?" Did this woman have any concept of time? A week was enough for him to buy a large chain company.
"I'll waste two days on the train. I only have five days to spend with my family, okay?" Qiao Qiao folded her luggage neatly and put it in her luggage.
"Didn't I say I'd booked a plane ticket? Why did you insist on taking the train? "
Qiao Qiao answered curtly, "It's cheap."
He Shaochen was so angry that he laughed.
"How much cheaper can it be? Qiao Qiao, you're a top student. Don't you know the value of time? You wasted two days for a few hundred dollars. Do you know how to calculate? "
His company's earnings were in the hundreds of millions in the past two days.
Qiao Qiao's face fell when he yelled at her.
She had nothing to lose. "Sorry, I just don't know how to calculate."
If she could afford it, she would of course choose the fastest flight. However, she was just a student. Her living expenses were all supported by her scholarship. Of course, she would save as much as she could.
After weighing the pros and cons, taking the train was the most cost-effective and affordable option.
Of course, for a young master like He Shaochen, it was hard for him to understand.
"I'll book a plane ticket for you."
Someone said domineeringly.
"No need. I've already booked a train ticket."
"Return it."
"No. If you return it, you'll only get half of the money back. It's not worth it."
"Qiao Qiao, are you trying to piss me off?" He Shaochen glared at her fiercely. This damned woman. Was He Shaochen short of money?
Did he need to be so calculative?
"I didn't mean that. But if you insist on thinking that way, I can't help it. Anyway, I'm going back for a week. You said you'd give me my freedom." Qiao Qiao's words made He Shaochen suffer an internal injury.
He punched the wall in annoyance and turned to leave.
Qiaoqiao glanced at He Shaochen's back as he flashed past and smiled.
She seemed to have angered him a little too much. Wasn't she too evil?
Actually, it was not impossible to come back earlier. Anyway, the transportation was so convenient now. As long as she wanted to, she could go back whenever she wanted.
She'd better pacify him first.
