He Shaochen's body was so cold.
"Since you've decided to give it to me, it's mine. Give it to me."
He Shaochen was the only person who could ask for a birthday present so confidently.
Qiao Qiao felt her heart pounding wildly. She calmly took a step back and raised her brows with a smile. "Mr. He, I was the one who bought it, so I have the receipt. I don't think the rights to it belong to you, right?"
"Oh really?"
He Shaochen stepped forward. In the blink of an eye, he had Qiao Qiao pinned against the edge of the table, making it impossible for her to retreat.
His gaze was a little too intense. His pitch-black eyes seemed to be burning with a dark, icy flame. There was a dazzling smile on his handsome face as he looked down at Qiao Qiao, who looked unnatural. He teased, "Mrs. He, you're mine. Why would I care about those little trinkets?"
Shameless!
Qiao Qiao cursed He Shaochen harshly in her heart. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her amber eyes had a rare clarity. She smiled kindly and said, "Mr. He, your delusions are a little ridiculous. I suggest you see a psychiatrist."
Weren't they just short of a divorce agreement?
How could he have the cheek to say something like that?
"Mrs. He, do you want me to prove that we're husband and wife? I don't mind showing it to others. "He Shaochen's voice was low and raspy, which sounded very ticklish.
When she saw him tug at his collar button, Qiao Qiao's face immediately fell.
She knew that He Shaochen was a man of his word. Since he said that, it meant that he really wanted to do it.
What kind of joke was this? He wanted to embarrass himself, but she had no obligation to embarrass herself with him.
"Isn't it just a scarf? If you like it, take it. "Qiao Qiao shoved the scarf into He Shaochen's arms. She pushed him away and walked out.
But before he could take a few steps, He Shaochen grabbed his wrist.
A faint voice sounded behind her. "Joe Qiao, how have you been recently?"
Although his subordinates had reported that she was doing well, He Shaochen wanted to hear from Qiao Qiao herself. It seemed that this was the only way to make him feel at ease.
Qiao Qiao had her back to him. She wanted to struggle, but it was as if all the strength in her body had been sucked out. She lowered her head, and her eyes, which were covered by shadows, showed signs of struggle, pain, and forbearance.
At this point, what was the point of asking these questions?
Then, she broke free from He Shaochen's hand.
Because he used too much strength, he staggered a few steps forward, but he didn't look back.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Calmly, she said, "You don't have to worry about me. I'm doing very well and I'm very happy …"
"Is that so?"
He Shaochen stared at Qiao Qiao's back. Recently, her mental state was indeed much better than when she was in the Family He. Perhaps it was the right decision to set her free.
He walked past her and said, "I hope you can always be happy."
Qiao Qiao froze as if someone had cast a spell on her. She bit her lower lip hard and told herself, "Of course I'm happy. I'm really happy right now."
Why did she feel so sad when she was so happy?
While He Shaochen and Qiao Qiao were talking, Xu Xiaoxuan and Ling Yu stayed in the car. The car was diagonally opposite the cafe, so they could see their every move clearly.
Xu Xiaoxuan leaned against the car window and asked blankly, "Hello, Secretary Ling. Let me ask you something."
Ling Yu snapped out of his daydream and said politely, "Go ahead, Miss Xu."
Xu Xiaoxuan turned around and looked at him seriously. "He Shaochen actually loves Qiao Qiao a lot, right?"
He Shaochen's attitude towards Qiao Qiao was completely different from how he treated them. Xu Xiaoxuan didn't know if it was because of her imagination, but she felt that He Shaochen's gaze towards Qiao Qiao was always full of affection.
"He Shao loves Young Mistress, of course!"
Ling Yu answered firmly.
He was the witness of their love. No one could say that more confidently than him.
"But if he loves her, why are they living separately?" Xu Xiaoxuan couldn't understand why they were in such a situation. Was it because of her?
If that was the case, Xu Xiaoxuan felt very guilty.
When Ling Yu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. "Sometimes, people who love each other don't necessarily get happiness … He Shao just doesn't know how to express his thoughts."
"Is it because of me?" Xu Xiaoxuan bit her lip. "If that's the case, I can explain. But why did He Shaochen stop me? If I explained it clearly just now, Qiao Qiao would definitely reconcile with him, right? "
Xu Xiaoxuan wasn't the only one who couldn't figure it out. Even Ling Yu was puzzled.
"He Shao's thoughts aren't easily understood. He naturally has his reasons for doing this."
"Even if he loses the person he loves?" Xu Xiaoxuan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Ling Yu shook his head. "I don't know about that."
Although he was He Shaochen's secretary, he was still an outsider. There were many things that he didn't know. The only thing he could do was follow He Shaochen's instructions.
Ling Yu didn't know that because of his words, Xu Xiaoxuan was even more determined to resolve the conflict between Qiao Qiao and He Shaochen.
She always felt that it was because of her that Qiao Qiao and He Shaochen fell out. Therefore, it was only right for them to reconcile.
I must think of a way to make these two people reconcile!
Xu Xiaoxuan clenched her fists and secretly made up her mind. Since He Shaochen didn't work, she would change her target to Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao seemed to be easy to talk to, so she should listen to her explanation.
At this time, He Shaochen also got into the car with a gift bag in his hand.
Xu Xiaoxuan curiously asked, "Hey, what's this?"
He Shaochen calmly put the gift bag down beside him. He glanced at her coldly and said in an indifferent tone, "What does it have to do with you?"
It was obvious that his attitude was bad.
Xu Xiaoxuan was so angry that her face turned red. She gritted her teeth and said, "He Shaochen, you're really annoying! Can't you change your bad temper? "
He Shaochen heard this and sneered, "Do I need you to like me? My temper has nothing to do with you. If you want to act, then act well. You have no right to interfere with other things. "
"You …"
Xu Xiaoxuan felt that she was about to explode.
"Ha."
He Shaochen snorted and turned his face to the side without a trace of guilt. He used to be like this. He never cared about what others thought of him and didn't care about other people's feelings.
Until Qiao Qiao appeared …
…
"Qiao Qiao, are you okay?"
On the way back, Freya saw that Qiao Qiao was in low spirits and was worried.
Qiao Qiao touched the wrist that He Shaochen held. There was still a faint chill on it. She muttered, "His hand is so cold, like ice."
"Qiao Qiao, what did you say?"
Qiao Qiao turned around and looked at Freya seriously. She said, "Freya, He Shaochen's hand is very cold."
"Oh, it's been cold recently. It's not strange that his hand is cold." Freya didn't care.
However, Qiaoqiao felt that there was something fishy about this matter. She grabbed Freya's hand and said seriously, "That's not right. Last time at the He family, when he grabbed my hand, I also felt it. His hand was very cold, much colder than a normal person's. Do you think his cold illness has worsened?"
"But according to my people's investigation, the medical team in charge of him has developed a new medicine. With that, his illness should be suppressed."
He Shaochen was Qiao Qiao's husband. Freya naturally paid attention to his health.
"Is that so? That's good … "Qiao Qiao seemed to be relieved after hearing this. However, her brows were still tightly knitted. Obviously, she was still worried.
Freya saw her worry and sighed. "If you're really worried, I'll ask people to step up the investigation so that you can rest assured."
Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up. She said blankly, "I haven't said anything yet …"
"You haven't said anything, but your eyes have already betrayed everything." Freya helplessly poked Qiao Qiao's forehead. She smiled faintly and said, "I thought you had already given up on Shaochen. It turns out that you're still …"
"I'm a little hungry. By the way, are we going home to cook or eat outside?" Qiao Qiao suddenly interrupted Freya.
It was obvious that she didn't want to continue this topic.
Freya saw Qiao Qiao's deliberate avoidance and understood that she still had a knot in her heart. She wasn't very good at participating in other people's relationships. She always felt that outsiders couldn't interfere, so she didn't try to persuade her anymore.
Since that day when she saw He Shaochen, she had a few peaceful days.
During this period, Freya had been sending people to investigate Dr. Jiang. If there was really a problem with the tonic, she would never let that person get away with it.
However, Freya didn't know that there was someone who was more active in the investigation than her. This person was An Ziyan.
Ever since Andol unconsciously said those words, this matter buried an invisible bomb in An Ziyan's heart. He always felt that this matter couldn't be separated from her.
"Master An, our people have found Dr. Jiang's whereabouts."
"Oh? Where is he now? "An Ziyan rubbed between his eyebrows and asked.
"In C Country, with his lover."
An Ziyan heard this and raised his eyebrows. "That old man is quite flirtatious. Can he handle it at his age?"
"Master An …"
"Ahem …" An Ziyan coughed softly. The topic of women went astray. He said seriously, "Bring him back to China. I have something to ask him in person."
"Yes …"
The subordinate was about to turn and leave, but An Ziyan stopped him. "I'll go and find him in person."
If he brought Dr. Jiang back to China, he didn't know what would happen. It was safer for him to go abroad.
"Book me a ticket to C Country immediately."
"Yes."
Everything was carried out in secret. Andol didn't know about it. All her thoughts were now on how to capture He Shaochen's heart again.
Although she didn't take Xu Xiaoxuan seriously, the fact was that there was news about the marriage between the Xu family and Family He in A City.
This made her anxious.
