Qiao Qiao is depressed.
He Shaochen returned home around nine o 'clock in the evening. When he came back, he found that the study was still lit. He gently opened the door and found Qiao Qiao reading under a table lamp. She didn't even seem to notice his return.
The soft light spread evenly on her face, making her beautiful and delicate face look even more gentle and beautiful.
He Shaochen was absorbed in watching until the servant reminded him, "Young Master, do you want me to prepare supper?"
He Shaochen was stunned. He looked at the servant with a reproachful gaze. Qiao Qiao also raised her head because of the commotion. When she saw He Shaochen, she smiled and said, "You're back."
"Mm." He Shaochen smiled and nodded.
He walked in and stood beside Qiao Qiao. Looking at the title of the book that Qiao Qiao was reading, he smiled helplessly and said, "You really like to read mystery novels ~"
Qiao Qiao closed the book and turned to look at He Shaochen with a faint smile. "Because it's very interesting."
The two of them went downstairs and had some supper together.
He Shaochen found that Qiao Qiao was a little absent-minded, so he asked, "What's wrong? Not to your liking? "
Qiao Qiao shook her head. "No, it's delicious."
"Then why do I feel that you're not very happy?" He Shaochen was straightforward with his words.
Qiao Qiao paused. She put down her fork and picked it up a second later. She smiled faintly. "You must be mistaken."
"Really?" He Shaochen raised his eyebrows. His eyes were locked on Qiao Qiao's face, but he could no longer find any negative emotions on her face.
Perhaps it was just his imagination?
He Shaochen sighed inwardly. The company was preparing for a big project these days. He was so busy every day that he didn't have the time to observe Qiao Qiao's mood changes.
The two of them were limited to the short time they had supper at night.
After that, He Shaochen threw himself into his busy work. In order not to disturb Qiao Qiao's rest, the two of them slept in separate rooms. At night, Qiao Qiao lay on the soft bed. She hugged her pillow and a trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes.
He Shaochen didn't mention a word about Andol's matter.
She reckoned that this wasn't a big deal to him at all. Or perhaps, she really cared too much about it. It wasn't worth mentioning at all.
She was being too petty …
Qiao Qiao buried her head in the pillow and tossed and turned. She didn't fall asleep until it was close to morning.
When she woke up, He Shaochen was naturally gone. That day, she was alone in the house, and Family He went to visit relatives and friends.
When she was alone, it was still a little lonely.
Qiao Qiao shook her head hard and forced herself to wake up. Didn't she spend her days like this before?
Last year, what was she doing at this time?
She seemed to be celebrating the New Year with her family. But this year, she was in A City. Because of the New Year, the school was also on holiday, and the classmates she knew had gone home.
She logged on to EMS to chat, but it was the New Year. Everyone was with their families. Who had time to chat with you?
In the next few days, Qiao Qiao saw He Shaochen less and less because he came back later and later, he even slept in the company.
Weren't they supposed to take a break during the New Year? Why was he still so busy?
Qiao Qiao was puzzled. Then, her sister-in-law Lin Lang joked, "Aren't the leaders of the country working during the New Year? The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Since Brother is in charge of such a big He Conglomerate, it's natural for him to be so busy, right? "
Qiaoqiao felt that it was a little strange for her to say such words in front of Linlang, who was happily living in her own home.
Was He Shaochen the only one who was responsible for such a big family?
What were the others doing?
"Haha, sister-in-law, I have an appointment with a friend. I'll take my leave first. Bye bye ~"
With that, Lin Lang left like a gust of wind.
Qiao Qiao didn't have time to say a word before she disappeared. Qiao Qiao couldn't help but sigh. This little girl was really energetic.
At night, He Shaochen finally came back.
Qiao Qiao saw that He Shaochen was cold and felt a little sorry for him. She said, "You have to work in moderation. You'll ruin your body."
He Shaochen smiled and rubbed Qiao Qiao's head. "You're becoming more and more like a good wife and mother."
Qiao Qiao slapped his hand away in annoyance and said, "I'm serious."
"I'm serious too."
He Shaochen noticed that Qiao Qiao's brows had a trace of loneliness. He handed his jacket to the servant and walked over to hug her. He said gently, "I've been a little busy at the company these days and neglected you. I'm sorry."
Qiao Qiao leaned into He Shaochen's warm embrace and took a few deep breaths. He had a very pleasant scent on him and it was very captivating. The gloominess of the past few days seemed to have dissipated very well.
She grabbed his shirt tightly and gently rubbed against him like a puppy.
He Shaochen stroked her back helplessly and said, "Silly girl, have you been too bored these days?"
"…"
So he had noticed it too?
She had probably been too obvious, hadn't she? He Shaochen was already so busy, yet she was still frowning. Wasn't she being too insensible?
She replied in a low voice, "Sorry … I shouldn't have added to your troubles."
"It's not your fault. Mom and Dad should be visiting relatives and friends these days. Why didn't you go with them when you were bored?"
Qiao Qiao continued to bury herself in He Shaochen's embrace and said in a muffled voice, "You weren't there."
Indeed, there were many relatives and friends in a large family, but they were far from being as close as a typical family. Qiao Qiao wasn't familiar with those people to begin with. Without He Shaochen by her side, she didn't want to go out even more.
This was also the reason why she had been so bored these days.
She was basically the only one in the main residence. Everyone else was busy visiting relatives.
"Silly girl, you'll have to face those people one day."
"I know," Qiao Qiao said in a muffled voice.
However, she hadn't been in a good state these days and really wasn't in the mood to deal with those people.
"Then do you want to make a trip back to the Xu residence first?" He Shaochen suggested.
As soon as he said that, Qiao Qiao was immediately stunned. She looked up at him in astonishment, "You want me to go back to the Xu residence?"
He Shaochen brushed the loose hair in front of Qiao Qiao's forehead and said casually, "Yes, because I've been busy with work these days. It's boring for you to stay at home alone. Why don't you stay at the Xu residence?"
Qiao Qiao bit her lip and asked, "But what will you do if I leave? You'll be alone in the Family, he … "
"Hehe, you say it as if you can do anything." He Shaochen sneered.
"…"
Qiao Qiao immediately retracted her head.
Although she was unwilling, she couldn't object!
"Sorry, the things I learned can't help you at all …"
