CHAPTER 60
He Shao sulked.
At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. Qiao Qiao looked at the caller ID. It was He Shaochen.
She stared at the phone screen for a long time before she sighed weakly and answered the call. "Hello?"
"Why haven't you gone home yet?" The man's voice was filled with anger.
"I'm not in a good mood. I want to walk around." Qiao Qiao answered concisely.
"Heh, take a walk? Do you know what time it is? Why did he send the driver back? Joe Qiao, do you know that it's dangerous to be outside alone in the middle of the night? "He Shaochen's voice came through the screen, and it was still deafening.
Qiao Qiao felt her eardrums vibrate. She couldn't help but frown. Why was this person so long-winded?
She was an adult with normal intelligence. How could she not know her limits when she went out?
She had encountered a lot of unpleasant things today, which made her very frustrated. Now that she was being questioned, Qiao Qiao was also a person with a temper. She immediately said, "None of your business!"
He Shaochen hung up the phone after he finished speaking, ignoring what He Shaochen was about to say.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Qiao stared at the screen for a while. Her heart was pounding. She knew that the consequences of angering He Shaochen were unbearable.
But there were always times when people were willful, right?
What's the point of living if you're always overcautious and overcautious?
Qiao Qiao comforted herself like this while thinking, she didn't believe that person would suddenly appear in front of her and drag her back.
As the saying goes, when a person is down on his luck, even water would be stuck between his teeth. Just as Qiaoqiao was thinking this, she saw a slightly familiar figure coming out of a car and striding towards her.
When Qiao Qiao saw who it was, her body stiffened and she immediately had the thought of running away.
He Shaochen walked towards her with a face full of anger, while her feet seemed to be filled with lead, unable to move.
She could only watch helplessly as the other party walked in front of her. He Shaochen's handsome face was covered with a layer of frost and his dark eyes were filled with anger. "You don't want me to interfere?"
"…"
Qiao Qiao's scalp went numb and her face stiffened. "I … was just joking …"
He Shaochen's sexy lips curved into a perfect arc as he replied to Qiao Qiao. "Ha ha."
It's over!
Qiao Qiao's heart sank. She was about to run away, but her wrist was grabbed tightly by the other party. Without saying a word, he pulled her in the direction of the car, not allowing her to resist at all.
"He Shaochen, what are you doing?"
Qiao Qiao instantly panicked. She didn't dare to make too much of a commotion, for fear that the people around them would notice something was amiss. But if she didn't resist now, she didn't dare to think about how she would be tortured when they returned.
But Qiao Qiao had overlooked a very serious problem, and that was that her resistance was never considered resistance in He Shaochen's eyes.
She didn't even need to think about the outcome. Of course, He Shaochen would drag her into the car. He Shaochen's face was cold as he said coldly, "Drive!"
The chauffeur stepped on the accelerator and the car sped off with a whoosh.
Along the way.
He Shaochen's cold aura caused the entire car to sink into an extremely strange atmosphere. If he had scolded her, perhaps Qiao Qiao would have felt better. But after sitting in the car, this person didn't say a word and it made her very anxious.
It was always calm before the storm.
This strange atmosphere was maintained until they reached the villa. After getting out of the car, He Shaochen took the lead and walked in. Qiao Qiao took three steps at a time and slowly inched in.
Qiao Qiao thought that He Shaochen was going to fly into a rage when they got home. She was already prepared to bear with it, but when they got home, it was still very peaceful. Nothing happened.
But this made her even more anxious.
She was clearly in the right before, but at this moment, Qiao Qiao suddenly felt a sense of guilt. Speaking of which, He Shaochen sent the text because he was worried about her, right? And looking at the situation just now, he should have specially come to pick her up.
Was he afraid that something would happen to her on the way home?
But he didn't have to come personally to pick her up, right? Or did he just happen to bump into her on the way home?
Qiao Qiao felt that the second possibility was more likely. But no matter what, her attitude wasn't very good.
As mentioned before, Qiao Qiao couldn't accept favors and didn't want to owe others. Because of this matter, her guilt towards He Shaochen had been spreading in her heart, making her feel uneasy.
Yesterday, she hated He Shaochen to the core. Today, she suddenly felt guilty towards him. Qiao Qiao felt frustrated and conflicted.
She had been out the whole day and was covered in dust. She felt a little uncomfortable.
Forget it.
She would temporarily forget about this matter and take a hot bath.
With this thought, Qiao Qiao went to pack her toiletries.
After taking her time in the shower, Qiao Qiao passed by He Shaochen's study and saw that he was still looking at official documents. His meticulous and elite look made Qiao Qiao cast sidelong glances at him.
Men who were serious were the most charming. This saying wasn't groundless.
Qiao Qiao stopped at the door. He Shaochen immediately noticed her. He looked up from his documents. His dark eyes were deep and had a fatal attraction.
"What's the matter?"
"Erm, no … I'm just passing by. Sorry to disturb your work." Qiao Qiao felt a little uncomfortable facing He Shaochen. "I'll go to my room now."
"Come in." His commanding tone made Qiao Qiao unable to refuse.
Qiao Qiao stood rooted to the ground.
"I said, come in." He Shaochen ordered for the second time. There was no room for negotiation.
Qiao Qiao sighed and had to bite the bullet and walk in. She put her hands behind her back and asked, "What's the matter?"
He Shaochen glanced at her. "Don't you like to read? Pick one that you like. "
"Erm …" Qiao Qiao blinked. She didn't understand what he meant. "The books here are all collector's editions. You don't mind?"
He Shaochen looked at her expectant and nervous look. The corners of his lips curled up and he snorted. "He Shaochen won't be so calculative over books."
Qiao Qiao thought about it and agreed.
This person could sell dresses and necklaces worth more than ten thousand yuan. Naturally, he wouldn't be calculative over books.
Qiao Qiao looked at the bookshelf, tempted. To her, those books were much more tempting than jewelry and diamonds.
He Shaochen's attitude was very firm. Qiao Qiao knew that it was useless to refuse, so she went to the bookshelf to find a book she liked. She picked out a mystery novel and hugged it to her chest as if she had found a treasure.
She said to He Shaochen, "I'll return it immediately after I'm done reading it. You go ahead with your work. I'll go read it in my room."
With that said, she was about to return to her bedroom. But before she could take a step, He Shaochen said, "Read it here."
"No need." Qiaoqiao didn't even think about it and directly refused.
He Shaochen paused. He looked at her fixedly and said unhappily, "Are you that happy to go against me?"
"…"
This was called going against him?
Qiao Qiao's face froze. She felt that this Young Master was temperamental and hard to please.
