I'm free at last.
"Before I tell you my reason, can you tell me what your mother's reaction was after you came clean with her?" Qiao Qiao asked seriously and calmly.
He Shaochen snorted coldly, his gaze drifting. "There's no reaction."
He didn't want Qiao Qiao to feel burdened because of this.
Qiao Qiao's amber eyes flashed and she smiled faintly. "No reaction? It can't be. Isn't your mother furious because of what you said? "
As she spoke, she shook her head. "No, she shouldn't be angry. After all, she's a lady from a prestigious family. Even if she's angry, she should still be very reserved …"
He Shaochen didn't quite agree with Qiao Qiao's words. He recalled Mother He's angry face and raised his eyebrows. "Do you think everyone can abide by those rules like a robot? We're all humans, and we all have emotions. If we're really angry, they won't care about etiquette and dogma. "
Qiao Qiao laughed when she heard that. "Looks like your mother is indeed very angry."
He Shaochen's expression froze. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked.
He glared at Qiao Qiao with dissatisfaction. This woman was quite smart when she set a trap for him, but why was she like a blockhead when she was with others?
Qiao Qiao didn't care what he was thinking. She continued, "Look, if you stand up for me, your mother will only be angrier. You can bear it for me today, but what about tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow? As long as your mother doesn't sincerely accept me, similar things will continue to happen. Can you bear them for me one by one? "
"I can!" He Shaochen said without hesitation.
Qiao Qiao shook her head. She touched He Shaochen's hand and smiled bitterly. "Maybe you can, but I don't want to see you fall out with your mother again and again because of me."
"Joe Qiao …"
Qiao Qiao pressed He Shaochen's mouth with her finger. "Don't say that you're willing to do anything for me. Do you think that's what I want to see?"
"…"
"You don't know, but I've seen similar things happen to my brother before. My sister-in-law and my mother have always been at odds, and they often quarrel whenever they disagree. My brother is caught in the middle, and it's very difficult for him. On one side is his wife, and on the other side is his biological mother, whose blood is thicker than water. When the two of them quarrel, he doesn't know who to help, and it's even worse if he doesn't help. Anyway, no matter what he does, he won't be able to help either side.
"You stood up for me today. Not only will your mother not change her impression of me, but she will also think that I was fanning the flames from the side. Her impression of me will also worsen. How do you want us to get along in the future?"
"Is this the reason for your silence? Do you know that if you continue for a few more days, you'll be on your last breath! "
"I know, of course, I know. But your mother won't really want my life, right? I believe that people's hearts are made of flesh. I'll do my best to meet her requirements. Maybe your mother will change her impression of me. "
"But it might also make her worse!" He Shaochen poured cold water on her.
Qiao Qiao shrugged helplessly and smiled. "Of course, this is also one of the possibilities."
He Shaochen looked at Qiao Qiao's bitter smile, and his heart twitched. He had mixed feelings. "Is it worth it to torture yourself like this for such a possibility?"
"It's not about whether it's worth it or not. It's only about whether you're willing or not. You can withstand the pressure from your family for me, so why can't I change your mother for you? I believe that there will be a win-win situation in the end. "
He Shaochen didn't know what to feel. He felt that he should feel sorry for her, but after hearing Qiao Qiao's words, he felt very touched.
He reached out and pulled Qiao Qiao into his arms. His voice was so gentle that it could almost kill. "Qiao Qiao, meeting you is the greatest fortune in my life."
He recalled how Qiao Qiao had always said that she didn't deserve his love and had even listed a lot of shortcomings for herself.
But in his opinion, she had too many to count.
She was very strong. When she encountered difficulties, she wouldn't run to ask for help immediately. Instead, she would think about the possibility of solving the problem on her own.
She was very gentle and always put herself in other people's shoes. She wouldn't do things that would make things difficult for others.
She was very kind and liked to help others. She wouldn't say bad things about others, and she wouldn't take revenge on others because she had been wronged, although he didn't like this good point very much.
Qiao Qiao leaned into his arms. Her ear was pressed against He Shaochen's heart. She closed her eyes and listened to his strong heartbeat. She replied, "Shaochen, meeting you is also the greatest fortune in my life."
A smile finally appeared on He Shaochen's face. He stroked Qiao Qiao's long hair and said gently, "Although you said so, I've already laid out my cards with my mother. Then you'll have to follow the new schedule. Give yourself a break for the next few days. You haven't seen your friends for a long time, right? You can go and play with them. "
"Really?" Qiao Qiao was stunned. She gently pushed He Shaochen away and looked into his eyes. She felt that this surprise had come too suddenly.
He Shaochen smiled and pinched her nose. "When have I ever lied to you?"
Qiao Qiao giggled and hugged He Shaochen's neck. She leaned forward and kissed his thin lips. He Shaochen was only stunned for half a second before he hugged her back and deepened the kiss.
His hands began to move restlessly all over Qiao Qiao's body.
This time, Qiao Qiao didn't struggle. She went along with He Shaochen's movements. She felt as if his hands had lit a ball of fire on her body. It was very hot.
It wasn't clear who crossed the line first, but the two of them fell onto the bed together.
They were like water and milk, and there was no distinction between them.

In the afternoon, Qiao Qiao got dressed and was about to go out.
"I'll be leaving first."
Qiao Qiao's face was full of smiles. She had been in Family He's house for so many days without any contact with the outside world. Qiao Qiao felt as if she was about to be cut off from the world.
Being able to rest that day was undoubtedly good news for her.
He Shaochen raised his eyebrows and curved his lips. There was a meaningful look in his eyes as he asked, "You're leaving just like that?"
Qiao Qiao immediately understood what he meant. She giggled and walked over to him. Then she stood on her tiptoes and gave him a big kiss in front of everyone.
"I'm going out."
He Shaochen was in a good mood after receiving a kiss. He didn't stop her. He nodded and said, "Go ahead. But remember that Family He has a limit. Don't go too crazy."
Qiao Qiao nodded repeatedly and giggled. "I know, I know. I'm just going to hang out with Youran and the others. At most, I'll shop a little later. I'll pay attention to the time!"
"That's fine. You're calling me again."
"Got it!" With that, Qiao Qiao was like a little bird that had been released from its cage. Her feet were like the wind as she left the house.
