I've only been married once in my life.
After putting on her clothes, Qiao Qiao's face was a bit dark. She frowned and warned: "Today's matter must not be revealed. Otherwise, you better be careful in J Country."
Her expression was just like a young wife who had just been bullied.
"Ah, baby, aren't you being too heartless? Getting off the bed, you immediately turn hostile. Speaking of which, in your current condition, can you really walk? " He Shaochen's line of sight sized up Qiao Qiao's body. His handsome face revealed a trace of an evil smile.
This stinking rogue!
The veins on Qiao Qiao's forehead popped out. She angrily glared back at He Shaochen and fiercely said: "Rest assured, I'm fine!"
But when she stood up, the discomfort in her body caused her face to turn pale.
He Shaochen saw that her whole body was slightly trembling, as if she was trying to endure something. His smile deepened, "Are you sure?"
"I'm very sure!"
Qiao Qiao clenched her teeth and left the room.
He Shaochen left an office for her. When she saw Adam in the room, she didn't know why she felt a bit guilty, as if she had done something bad.
She walked over and lightly coughed to attract Adam's attention.
"Your highness, you've come."
Adam raised his head with his usual smile.
Qiao Qiao awkwardly smiled. She nodded and said: "En, sorry for making you wait. How many documents are left?"
"Those that aren't too important, I've already helped you review them. You can take a look at them briefly. There are some that require your personal attention. I've already categorized them. You can take a look at them later." Adam was still so considerate.
Qiao Qiao nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
She walked over and sat on the chair. The pain in her waist made her expression change.
"Lilith, what's wrong?" Adam noticed Qiao Qiao's abnormality.
Qiao Qiao clenched her fists and shook her head. "No … nothing. Let's get to work."
She lowered her head, not daring to look into Adam's eyes.
At this moment, Adam's voice was heard. "Your Highness, are you really going to stay here forever? If a princess of a country doesn't stay in her own palace and comes to live in another country's embassy, it will affect you if others take the opportunity to spread the news. "
Qiao Qiao kept her head down. Her eyes were glued to the words on the document as she replied to Adam, "But didn't He Shaochen say that he wouldn't spread any negative news?"
"That man can indeed control the media, but there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. The citizens will find out sooner or later. What do you want them to think then? At the end of the day, whether or not we can successfully ascend to the throne depends on the public election in August this year. Their support is the most important. "
"…"
How could Qiao Qiao not know this?
If she could, she wanted to move out of the embassy immediately.
But if that man didn't get what he wanted, he would definitely think of many ways to force her to submit. She didn't have that much time to waste on him.
Moreover, if He Shaochen really cooperated with Ravel, it would be a big blow to them.
After weighing the pros and cons, Qiao Qiao still decided to stay here even though she knew that this was a wolf's den.
"Since I've already promised He Shaochen, I'll accompany him while he's in J Country. Anyway, he can't stay in J Country forever, right?" Qiao Qiao said.
Adam was silent for a moment before he said coldly, "Your Highness Lilith, have you actually fallen in love with Mr He again?"
Qiao Qiao froze and retorted, "No."
"But your actions don't match your words."
"…"
Qiao Qiao tightened her grip on the pen.
"Because he's pursuing you again, so you have feelings for him again? Could it be that you've already forgotten the harm he caused you? "
"No, I haven't forgotten!"
Qiao Qiao pressed her head and retorted.
She was unusually frustrated.
Adam saw that she was starting to get agitated and his dark red eyes darkened. He put his hand on her shoulder and said unhurriedly, "Your Highness Lilith, as long as it's someone who has hurt you before, no matter how well he behaves afterward, the scars of the past will not disappear."
"I know!"
"I don't want to interfere with your relationship, but I don't want your lover to be someone who can hurt you at any time."
"I know!"
"So, please don't let anything like what happened today happen again, okay?" Adam's voice was low and his hand gently stroked Qiao Qiao's neck. Qiao Qiao dodged as if she had been electrocuted. She pressed her neck and her eyes widened as she looked at him in astonishment.
Adam's eyes were a little hazy. He said indifferently, "As your executive officer, I have no right to interfere with your private life. However, this is a crucial moment in whether or not you can seize the throne. Please consider the consequences before you do anything."
Adam used honorifics again.
Qiao Qiao knew that He Shaochen had left many scars on her neck. She lowered her head and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face. She said with difficulty, "I … I understand."
What she did with He Shaochen today couldn't be hidden from Adam's eyes.
The feeling of being seen through was terrible.
She shouldn't have indulged herself.
— —
Qiao Qiao locked herself in the office until late at night.
The door was suddenly opened.
He Shaochen walked in.
"Baby, do you know what time it is?" He Shaochen had that terrifying smile on his face again.
Qiao Qiao's hands paused. She put her hand to her forehead and said, "Mr. He, if I remember correctly, you said that you wouldn't interfere with my work!"
"I did say that." He Shaochen nodded. "But you're not sleeping at this time. You'll only be tired tomorrow and it'll affect your work even more!"
"Don't worry about me. My nutritionist isn't just for show."
Qiao Qiao's hands started moving again as she immersed herself in her work.
He Shaochen couldn't help frowning when he saw her cold tone and different attitude.
Why did it feel like something was wrong?
During the day, this woman could still bicker with him and get angry because of his teasing. Why did she become so cold now?
He looked at Adam, who was standing behind Qiao Qiao. He narrowed his eyes and the other party sneered at him.
Sure enough, this man had said something again.
If he didn't get rid of this man, regardless of whether Qiaoqiao had a good impression of him or not, in the end, it would definitely return to zero.
He Shaochen's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
What should he do?
He really wanted to kill someone.
Qiao Qiao finally finished all her homework around three o 'clock in the morning. She then noticed that He Shaochen had disappeared again.
She stretched lazily, feeling a little sleepy.
"You've worked hard today, Lilith."
Adam tidied up her desk.
Qiao Qiao shook her head. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. You don't have to go back tonight. Just rest here."
It was more than an hour's drive from the embassy to the palace. He had to rush over at seven o 'clock in the morning. There wasn't much time to rest at all.
However, Adam refused. "No need. I'm afraid that Mr. He won't be happy if I stay here."
Qiao Qiao got up. "I'll talk to him."
Adam stopped her. "I have something to do and need to go back to the palace. It's getting late. You should rest early. There's a lot to do tomorrow."
Qiao Qiao hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Then you can go back first. I'll talk to He Shaochen again and transfer you here."
"Yes."
After seeing Adam off, Qiao Qiao was about to go back to her bedroom to sleep. However, she suddenly realized a problem. She had woken up in He Shaochen's bedroom. After that, no one had introduced her to her room. Where would she sleep later?
She had been so busy that she had forgotten about this.
She had just turned around when she saw He Shaochen leaning against the wall.
The room was very dark. Qiao Qiao was shocked when he didn't say a word. She patted her wildly beating heart and took a deep breath. She asked, "It's so late. Why aren't you asleep?"
He Shaochen glanced at her. His voice was slightly cold as he said, "Aren't you awake too?"
"I haven't finished reviewing the documents. Do you think I don't want to sleep?" Qiao Qiao looked away.
Because of what had happened during the day, she didn't want to face He Shaochen.
There was an indescribable awkwardness.
Then she heard He Shaochen say, "Oh, what a coincidence. I'm waiting for my wife. Do you think I don't want to sleep?"
"You got married again?" Qiao Qiao was still a little confused. She was still wondering when He Shaochen had gotten married again.
He Shaochen chuckled. He straightened up and walked elegantly to Qiao Qiao. He said meaningfully, "I've only gotten married once in my life."
"Then …"
Qiao Qiao was about to speak when she suddenly realized something. She glared at him angrily. "Are you kidding me?"
He Shaochen chuckled. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so stupid."
"You!"
Qiao Qiao was about to explode when He Shaochen suddenly picked her up by the waist.
"What are you doing?"
Qiao Qiao was shocked.
