Will You Hold My Hand Again?
"Youjia, why are you looking for me so late at night?" He Shaochen had completely adjusted his mood. The emotional fluctuations he had in front of Qiao Qiao earlier had all been restrained by him, and he was once again calm and composed.
Lin Youjia's smile froze for a moment before it blossomed again. She said to He Shaochen, "Big Brother Shaochen, I heard that you're going to be busy late at night, so I specially brought you a bowl of ginseng soup."
He Shaochen's gaze shifted from Lin Youjia to the ginseng soup on the coffee table. He then calmly looked away and said bluntly, "The ginseng soup seems to have turned cold."
Qiao Qiao's mouth twitched when she heard that.
This person is too direct!
"Eh?" Lin Youjia looked at the bowl of ginseng soup in hindsight. It was still steaming hot a moment ago, but now it had turned cold.
The delicate greenhouse flower's eyes instantly reddened as she muttered, "Yes, it's already cold …"
"Let the servants do this in the future. You're Family He's guest, so don't do this again. If my mom finds out, she'll definitely reprimand you." He Shaochen brought Mother He out.
It was your mom who told me to do this!
Lin Youjia really wanted to be Mother He, but Mother He had just warned her not to say that she told her to do it. So now, Lin Youjia could only reply in a muffled voice, "Okay, I understand."
"If there's nothing else, go back to your room and rest. It's not good for a girl's skin to sleep too late."
How could Lin Youjia not understand such an obvious order to chase her away?
She resisted the urge to cry, lowered her head, and said in a trembling voice, "Okay … I … I understand … Big Brother Shaochen, Big Sister Qiao, you … you should rest early. I … I'll go back first!"
With that, she ignored the ginseng soup and quickly left the villa.
Looking at Lin Youjia's departing figure, He Shaochen narrowed his eyes and ordered the servants who stayed behind, "Pack up."
"Yes."
Qiao Qiao whispered into He Shaochen's ear, "Aren't you going overboard?"
He Shaochen glanced at her and said disapprovingly, "Don't tell me you really don't understand why my mother brought Youjia here?"
"Uh … this …"
Qiao Qiao lowered her head and looked at her toes. In fact, she was also vaguely aware of it. She just didn't want to admit it.
"Since Youjia is here, she must have agreed to my mother's request. If I show any goodwill to her, she will probably show off. Do you think that will be a good thing for you?"
"Hehe … I don't think it's anything good …" She was probably depressed to death.
He Shaochen turned her face and made Qiao Qiao look at him. Then, he said seriously, "I won't allow anyone to come between us. If anyone dares to charge forward without fear of death, I can only make them suffer."
He Shaochen's face was serious. Qiao Qiao's heart skipped a beat when she saw that. However, she didn't feel afraid. Instead, she felt sweet. She nodded and agreed, "He Shaochen, you're right."
She suddenly felt that He Shaochen's EQ wasn't as low as she thought. Sometimes, he could see things very clearly and knew how to deal with them in order to make the other party back off.
"Hehe, I suddenly have a whole new level of respect for you," Qiao Qiao said with a smile.
"Oh?"
"He Shaochen, it's a waste of your talent not to be an emotional expert." She remembered that last time when she asked He Shaochen for An Ziyan's phone number on behalf of Yue Xin, he had also analyzed it clearly and logically.
He Shaochen raised his eyebrows, "If I were to become an emotional expert, those people would probably lose their jobs. For the sake of our country's GDP, I'd better continue to be the CEO."
"Heh, I gave you the color and you started to dye it?"
Qiao Qiao laughed even more happily. The haze in her heart seemed to have been swept away by He Shaochen's attitude and actions.
He Shaochen pinched Qiao Qiao's face in annoyance and said unhappily, "You're taking advantage of me? You were frowning just a moment ago, and now you're laughing more happily than anyone else. Qiao Qiao, why are you so fickle? "
"It's a woman's privilege to change her face! Which woman doesn't do that? "
"Whatever you say makes sense."
He Shaochen shrugged.
After the two showered and changed into pajamas, they were together again. Qiao Qiao was reading when she suddenly remembered something. She looked up at He Shaochen and said, "Shaochen, I met An Ziyan today."
He Shaochen frowned at the mention of An Ziyan. He looked at Qiao Qiao unhappily, "How did you meet him?"
"Heh heh, by chance. When I accompanied Youran to Hai Lan International, I saw him shopping for clothes with a woman."
"Oh …"
After listening to Qiao Qiao's explanation, He Shaochen returned to his calm self, "And then?"
"And then he told me that Andol would be coming back after the International Ballet Competition …" Qiao Qiao felt that it was necessary to tell He Shaochen about this. Although he might know about it earlier than she did, she still wanted to see his reaction.
A woman in love couldn't be trusted.
During the day, she swore to He Shaochen that she would believe him, but at night, she couldn't help but come to see his reaction after hearing the news.
He Shaochen's expression didn't change when he heard it. He just responded indifferently, "Oh, I know that. She went abroad to further her studies for the competition. Of course, she would come back after the competition."
So he knew about this too?
But wasn't this person's reaction a little too calm?
She kept staring at He Shaochen's face, as if she couldn't stop until she saw something. He Shaochen felt uncomfortable under her burning gaze. He glared at her and asked, "What are you doing?"
Qiao Qiao touched her chin and asked curiously, "Why do I feel that your reaction is too calm?"
He Shaochen raised his eyebrows, "How do you think I should react?"
Qiao Qiao giggled as she leaned on him and said, "Andol is your ex-girlfriend, right? Don't tell me you're not moved at all by her return? "
"What do you want me to be moved by?" He Shaochen realized that he was getting more and more attracted to this woman.
Qiao Qiao began to play with her fingers and said softly, "I heard people say today that men are especially concerned about things that they can't get. When you broke up with Andol, she dumped you, right? Don't you have the slightest intention of getting her back? "
The corner of He Shaochen's mouth twitched. He couldn't wait to hold Qiao Qiao down and beat her up. He smiled faintly and said, "Since she has already let go of my hand, why should I be so thick-skinned as to chase her back? He Shaochen hasn't fallen to that point yet! "
Qiao Qiao laughed when she heard that. "Yes, yes, yes. Why would a young master like you do something so shameful? I'm overthinking it. "
"Hmph, stop thinking about these things. It's meaningless."
