On the verge of a breakdown.
He Shaochen did not mind Qiao Qiao's cold attitude. After he brought Qiao Qiao downstairs, he instructed the movers to listen to her instructions and left with Lingyu.
When he reached the entrance, he suddenly thought of something and said to Qiao Qiao, who was checking his luggage, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Qiao Qiao's eyes moved slightly, and she instantly understood He Shaochen's meaning. She put down the things, looked at He Shaochen, and said lightly, "No."
He Shaochen's face instantly darkened. There was a hint of oppression in his eyes. "Are you sure?"
She narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "Yes."
He Shaochen's face darkened. He turned around and walked over to Qiao Qiao. He looked straight at her and asked, "When family members go out, shouldn't they say 'be careful'?"
Qiao Qiao looked at him indifferently. She wanted to ask him if he was her family.
Could it be that this was not a forced transaction?
However, if she really said it, it would probably cause another storm. She really didn't have the energy to torment herself anymore.
Therefore, he was so cold that there was not a trace of emotion, as if he was reading it out loud. "Be careful on the road."
He Shaochen knitted his brows when he heard such a perfunctory tone. He looked at Qiao Qiao coldly with a complicated expression. Looking at the time, Ling Yu hurried over to He Shaochen and said, "He Shao, it's almost time."
Qiao Qiao glanced at Ling Yu and continued to pack her things. He Shaochen's eyes darkened when he saw her acting as if there was no one else around.
After a while, Qiao Qiao didn't look at him at all. He Shaochen's eyes became colder.
He turned around impatiently. "Let's go."

With the movers, Qiao Qiao's luggage was quickly settled in the room furthest away from He Shaochen's bedroom. Because there were helpers to clean, it saved a lot of trouble.
When everything was settled, it was almost six or seven in the evening.
She was drenched in sweat the entire afternoon. Her clothes stuck to her body, and it was uncomfortable. After thinking about it, she decided to take a shower.
When she was done, it was almost eight in the evening.
She didn't know when the dishes were placed on the table downstairs, and they were still steaming hot. Qiao guessed that the helpers came by while she was taking a shower.
Just as she was staring at the table of food in a daze, a slightly plump middle-aged woman happened to walk out of the kitchen and bumped into Qiao Qiao.
After taking a shower, Qiao Qiao changed into a nightgown. But the parts that were supposed to be perky were perky, and the sight of her made one's heart itch.
The middle-aged woman was called Auntie Wang, and she was a very perceptive person. Her eyes quickly sized up Qiao Qiao's body, and finally landed on Qiao Qiao's beautiful face. She suddenly understood something, and a look of understanding appeared on her face. Then, a look of disdain appeared on her face.
That kind of undisguised disdain made Qiao Qiao feel helpless.
"Miss, Mr. He called me just now, and I knew you were at home. I cooked a little late tonight, so don't be angry."
"Um … Thank you."
Qiao Qiao nodded, and didn't dare to look at Auntie Wang's naked eyes.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. When you're done eating, just leave the food on the table. I'll clean it up tomorrow morning."
"Um … Okay."
Qiao Qiao's slightly subdued behavior surprised Auntie Wang. This kind of middle-aged woman was born with a spirit of gossip.
Auntie Wang saw that Qiao Qiao was easy to talk to, as if she suddenly had a strong advantage. She shook her head and advised in a tone of an elder, "Miss, there's something I don't know if I should say."
Qiao Qiao looked at her and didn't say anything.
"You're such a young and beautiful girl. Of all the things you do, why …" Auntie Wang's eyes looked as if she expected better from Qiao Qiao Qiao. "Do this kind of shady business?"
Auntie Wang hit the nail on the head.
Qiao Qiao's face turned pale. The feeling of being caught red-handed made her feel ashamed.
She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to. Wasn't she He Shaochen's mistress now? Since she had signed the contract, what right did she have to explain?
But somewhere in her heart, she felt like she couldn't take it anymore.
She felt so uncomfortable that she was about to die.
Qiao Qiao didn't even know when Auntie Wang left. She stood there like a stone statue.
After a long time, a teardrop, like a bead with a broken necklace, streaked across her cheek without any warning. It was shockingly hot. Only then did Qiaoqiao come back to her senses. On the verge of collapse, she burst into tears.
She didn't want to stay here. She didn't want to be seen as a degenerate mistress.
But if she left, their relationship would be exposed. At that time, she would be ridiculed and looked down upon by more people.
Qiao Qiao had never felt so helpless. Why did her life turn upside down like this? Why did the nightmare have to befall her?
Why?
Why?
She cried harder and harder. She couldn't stop her tears. Her slightly thin body curled up and squatted on the ground. She cried like a child who was lost and couldn't find her way home.
When He Shaochen came back, he saw this scene.
Qiaoqiao's tear-stained little face was deathly pale. She was trembling so much that she was almost unrecognizable. Her low, hoarse sobs were even more heart-wrenching.
He Shaochen didn't know how he felt at that time. But when he saw her like that, his heart twitched violently and hurt terribly.
He walked in front of Qiao Qiao and bent down to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. He said in an awkward and gentle voice, "Don't cry."
Hearing his voice, Qiaoqiao's unfocused eyes suddenly regained some color. Her amber eyes glanced at him, and she suddenly began to struggle violently. She shrieked, "Get out, get out of my sight!"
He Shaochen didn't move. He just looked at her silently.
Qiao Qiao saw this and reacted even more violently. She seemed to have gone crazy. She clenched her fists and punched him fiercely. "Bastard! He Shaochen, you're a bastard! "
He still allowed Qiao Qiao to go crazy.
This state lasted for a long time. When Qiao Qiao was tired from hitting him, she could only pant slightly and stare at him with red eyes. He Shaochen suddenly smiled faintly. It was a little cruel.
"I see that you haven't eaten the food on the table. Is it not to your taste?"
After struggling for so long, she got such a reaction from the other party.
Qiao Qiao suddenly felt helpless. She vented her emotions and calmed down a little. She just looked at He Shaochen coldly and asked, "He Shaochen, why don't you die?"
He Shaochen's expression didn't change. He just stayed silent for a long time.
After a while, he smiled indifferently. "With you around, how can I bear to die?"
Hearing such a handsome man say such words to her, generally speaking, women would be a little dazed. However, Qiao Qiao didn't move at all. "Don't you think that's too hypocritical?"
"Ha, I thought you'd be very moved."
"Sorry to disappoint you."
"It's okay. One day, you'll open your heart to me."
