Mother and Daughter Meet
When Freja saw Qiaoqiao staring at her face, she couldn't help but smile. She touched her face and asked, "Excuse me, is there something dirty on my face?"
"Eh?" Qiao Qiao realized that she had been staring at someone else's face. She blushed and quickly apologized. "Sorry, I was too engrossed."
Freya picked up all the documents. "It's okay."
Qiao Qiao still felt that the woman looked familiar, but she really didn't know her. Seeing that the documents were stained with dust, she felt apologetic. "Sorry, I was too engrossed in my thoughts just now and didn't see you."
"No, it's my fault for leaving in such a hurry." Freja shook her head. She noticed that the gauze wrapped around Qiaoqiao's hand was still faintly red. She couldn't help but frown. Her slender fingers touched the gauze and said, "The wound on your hand is bleeding."
"Uh, it's not a big deal. Please don't mind it." Qiao Qiao quickly put her hand behind her back and smiled embarrassedly.
Freya shook her head. "This is not a small matter. The wound is probably still bleeding. It's wrapped in bandage now. It will hurt when I remove it later. My house is nearby. If you trust me, come back with me. I have a very effective medicine to stop the bleeding."
"This …"
Anyone with common sense would know that she shouldn't go with a stranger.
Qiao Qiao's rationality told her that they were just strangers who had met once. She couldn't accept the woman's invitation. However, looking at the woman's sincere gaze, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but agree.
This feeling was really strange.
She thought that she was a rational person, but when she saw the woman, she had an urge to get closer to her, hoping to understand her better.
When she came back to her senses, she was already at the woman's house.
Qiaoqiao was startled and immediately jumped up from the sofa. She grabbed her hair in annoyance. She must have lost her mind. Why did she follow a woman whose name she didn't even know to her home?
She wanted to leave quickly, but Freya just walked out of the house with a bottle of ointment, a brand new bandage, and cotton swabs in her hand.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Uh … I'm sorry to come to your house. Well …" Qiao Qiao couldn't tell Freya's age from her perfect and exquisite face. She only felt that she was very young and should be only a few years older than her.
Freya smiled and said, "Just call me Freya."
"Freya?" The woman had a typical face from A Country.
"I'm a J Country citizen. I came to A Country for work reasons," Freya explained.
"I'm Qiao Qiao."
"Oh? Then can I call you Qiao Qiao? "Freya's smile deepened.
Qiao Qiao nodded. "Sure."
She let Qiaoqiao sit back down on the sofa and carefully helped her remove the gauze that was wrapped around her wound. The gauze was stuck to the wound, and when it was removed, there was a slight tingling sensation, causing Qiaoqiao to involuntarily frown.
Seeing this, Freya paused and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Qiao Qiao squeezed out a smile and shook her head. "It doesn't hurt."
Freya didn't say much, but her movements were much gentler. She carefully applied the ointment on Qiao Qiao's wound. It was cool and the burning sensation on the wound didn't seem to hurt as much.
"It shouldn't hurt as much now, right?" Freya asked as she helped Qiao Qiao put on a new bandage.
Qiao Qiao nodded in amazement. "It doesn't hurt anymore. Freya, your ointment is amazing."
A faint smile appeared on Freya's exquisite and perfect face. She said heartily, "Then I'll give this ointment to you. Your wound doesn't seem to be healing so easily. This should be able to help you."
"How can I do that?" Qiao Qiao quickly shook her head.
This ointment was very effective and probably very expensive. She couldn't accept it.
But Freya's attitude was very firm. She reached out and gently tucked Qiao Qiao's hair away from the side of her face. Her beautiful eyes were gentle and warm. "I don't know why, but when I see you, I feel an indescribable sense of intimacy. I believe this is what people call fate."
An indescribable sense of intimacy?
Qiao Qiao looked straight at Freya and said seriously, "Actually, I feel that way too."
So when Freya invited her to her house, she knew that she should reject her, but she couldn't help but follow along. She felt an inexplicable sense of trust.
She felt that this woman wouldn't hurt her.
Freya smiled faintly and retracted her hand. "Since that's the case, you can accept the ointment. I don't usually need it anyway."
"This should be very expensive, right?" Qiao Qiao was still a little hesitant.
She didn't deserve it.
Freya's gaze was fixed on the ointment. She narrowed her eyes and said indifferently, "It's just a medicine that has been passed down in my family. It's not worth much. If it can help someone in need, then its true value will be reflected."
"…"
Freya made it sound so convincing that Qiao Qiao couldn't refuse anymore. She kept the ointment properly and thanked her again.
Freya didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her rigid manner.
After watching Qiao Qiao leave, Freya slowly closed the door with a bright smile on her face. This happy mood lasted until she saw Father He.
"Are you that happy to see your daughter?" Father He teased as he sipped on his black tea.
Freya played with her hair. There was an obvious smile on her beautiful face and her tone was much lighter than before. "After so many years, this is the first time I've spoken to that child. It's not too much to be happy, right?"
She recalled the conversation with Qiao Qiao and couldn't help but laugh. She covered her mouth and said, "That child's well-behaved manner is so funny. I don't know who she inherited it from. Luo Weino and I are clearly not honest people."
Father He added kindly, "I guess this is what they mean by negative is positive. You husband and wife are both full of bad ideas, but the child you gave birth to is a simple and honest person."
"Heh, she is indeed an honest child." Freya's smile faded. "So even if she is wronged, she won't say it out loud. Today, she had a very deep cut on her palm …"
When Father He heard this, he immediately understood what was going on.
He sighed slightly and said, "Yixuan is too stubborn. I guess she made things difficult for Qiao Qiao at the hospital."
Freya's eyes flashed. She said lightly, "As her husband, you should spend more time with her. Madam Qiu is a very traditional woman. You and the children are her whole world. If you accompany her, her condition will improve a lot."
Father He elegantly took another sip of his black tea.
He didn't seem to be affected by Freya's words. It was hard to associate such a person with the worried husband who had found out about Mother He's angina the other day.
Father He said calmly, "I love Yixuan very much, but I also hate being restrained."
"Does Madam Qiu make you feel restrained?" Freya raised her eyebrows.
Father He spread his hands. "Just as you said, she is a very traditional woman. If I spend all my time with her, I will feel very restrained."
When she heard this, Freya said mockingly, "Is this the reason why you have a mistress outside?"
It was actually very awkward to be pointed at like this, but Father He had long practiced the ability to remain calm and collected in any situation.
So when Freya pointed at him and said that he had a mistress, there was nothing to be ashamed of. Instead, he felt that it was natural.
Father He glanced at her and said, "This is very normal, right? To be honest, before Luo Weino met you, he was also a playboy. Who knew that he would meet such a bad person? "
Freya raised her chin arrogantly and smiled. "I didn't stop him from having other women outside."
Father He sneered and said teasingly, "You didn't stop him, but if he really went to find other women, he would probably be made into human shaved ice by you."
Freya's beautiful eyes wandered. She propped her chin on her hand and stirred her coffee with a spoon. She smiled innocently and said, "But the truth is, after being together with me, he never looked for other women. After all, I can't imagine that Luo Weino would betray such a loyal person like me."
Here we go again.
Father He couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and sigh. "Compared to Luo Weino becoming a henpecked husband, I am more curious about your innate confidence. No, should I say narcissism?"
"Haha, a man who can't be loyal has no right to talk about the deep bond between me and Luo Weino." Freya smiled and the smile gradually disappeared. What followed was a solemn coldness. "So, I won't let anyone who participated in that assassination go."
"Freya …"
Father He looked at Freya worriedly. He saw her stand up and straighten her wrinkled skirt. She said in a very calm tone, "The child of the An family seems to have discovered Qiao Qiao's identity, but he was intercepted by my people. That child isn't stupid and didn't make a sound, so I showed mercy and didn't take his life."
Father He didn't even blink. He didn't seem surprised.
"The people from J Country have probably sneaked into A Country. I will send more people to watch Qiao Qiao and protect her safety."
"Thank you." Freya gave Father He a big smile and reminded him, "But you made such a big move, I think Shaochen might have noticed something. If I'm not wrong, he will come back to find you soon."
Freya's predictions had never been wrong.
If she said so, then the truth would really develop as she said. Many times, Father He suspected that she had the ability to predict the future.
He had a headache and held his forehead. "It seems that I can't go back to Family He for the time being."
"I advise you to go back once. If you are discovered, then tell them frankly. I won't hurt my son-in-law." Freya smiled and shrugged. "After all, I think your son is more reliable than you sometimes."
"Are you kidding me?"
Father He's mouth twitched.
Freya added, "At the very least, your son is more devoted than you."
