CHAPTER 82
Stockholm syndrome
It was not easy to get a compliment from He Shaochen. Qiao Qiao felt that it was already good enough that he did not speak ill of her. She smiled and said, "You flatter me."
Seeing Qiao Qiao's smug look, He Shaochen could not help but smile and add, "You're indeed my woman."
The smile on Qiao Qiao's face suddenly froze. She glanced at him and sneered. "What does this have to do with you? Don't flatter yourself."
What did he mean by "as expected of his woman"? Could he not be so shameless?
He Shaochen wasn't annoyed. His handsome face curled into a smile as he sized up Qiao Qiao with a playful expression. His dark eyes stared straight at her.
"I'm curious, how many languages do you know?"
If she was a student who specialized in languages, it was very common for her to learn one or two languages. However, according to the information he had obtained, Qiao Qiao studied in the Materials and Chemistry Department. Could she really multitask and learn so much?
Qiao Qiao felt that there was no need to hide this, so she answered honestly. She said in a very normal tone, "I've learned eight languages, as well as some local slang in Country A. If you include them, there are 13 languages in total."
Eight countries!
Not to mention Ling Yu, even He Shaochen was moved by her words.
"Eight countries? Do you know what that means? "
He Shaochen's eyes were burning. Some people only knew one mother tongue in their whole life, but she could speak eight languages so easily?
If she wasn't joking, then she was really an all-rounder.
What an amazing talent for languages.
Unknowingly, Qiao Qiao's image in the eyes of the two had also become lofty. They had always thought that she was just a bookworm, who knew that she had so many undiscovered secrets.
"It's just a hobby," Qiao Qiao said calmly.
When a person was especially passionate about something, they would naturally have the motivation to learn.
However, Qiao Qiao did not know that some people, no matter how passionate they were, would never reach the level that she did.
"You should be a translator, instead of devoting yourself to studying that boring academic field."
He Shaochen gave a pertinent comment.
If she continued on the path of a translator, she would definitely become popular in the future.
Qiao Qiao lowered her head and casually flipped through the documents, smiling without saying a word.
He did not know that her dream in the past was to be a translator.
For the sake of this dream, her secret efforts were definitely not as simple as what she said just now. However, for the sake of Xu Anting, she still gave up this original intention.
If He Shaochen knew the reason why she gave up being a translator, he would probably fly into a rage again.
"You just need to translate your words to the Z country's clients, right?"
Qiao Qiao.
"Yes, it's a big occasion. You haven't seen the world, so don't be scared silly."
He Shaochen always liked to tease Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao glared at him. How dare he be so arrogant when he was asking for help!
Perhaps because she felt that the other party had something to rely on her, Qiao Qiao's courage grew a little. She gained confidence in her heart and pretended to be cold as she said: "Young Master He, I've helped you so much. Shouldn't you give me some reward?"
"Reward?" He Shaochen looked at her, amused.
Qiao Qiao heard his tone. It seemed that he was surprised that she would say that.
It couldn't be, right? How could such a big financial group be so stingy? Did he want her to be free labor?
"Don't tell me you still want to squeeze me dry?" Qiao Qiao pouted unhappily.
Evil capitalism.
He Shaochen was angry and amused at the same time. He had already given her the black card. Why would he cheat her of her money? However, since she wanted a reward, wouldn't it be tacky to talk about money?
He signaled for Ling Yu to leave. Ling Yu understood. He packed his things and walked out of the office.
In a moment, only He Shaochen and Qiao Qiao were left in the huge office.
Qiao Qiao's amber eyes widened. Wait, why did she suddenly have an ominous feeling?
He Shaochen stood up. His slender body was wearing a smoky gray handmade shirt. The smooth lines outlined his perfect body. The top two buttons were unbuttoned, revealing his sexy collarbone.
A man who seduced others.
He closed in on Qiao Qiao step by step. Qiao Qiao could only retreat step by step.
However, after taking three or four steps back, his long hand grabbed her and brought her over. He Shaochen hugged Qiao Qiao's slender waist and looked at her uneasy look. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Don't you want a reward? I'm your reward. How about it? "
"Who wants you?" Qiao Qiao's face flushed red.
He Shaochen pinched her chin. His gaze was extremely cold. "You dare not to want it?"
"Can you not be so unreasonable?" Qiao Qiao said angrily. She pushed He Shaochen's hand away.
"I'm only unreasonable to you."
He Shaochen was in a good mood. He took a sip of water on Qiao Qiao's lips. He was very satisfied to see Qiao Qiao's hateful and angry look, but she didn't dare to resist.
He stroked Qiao Qiao's head and smoothed her messy hair. "If you do well tomorrow, I can consider fulfilling one of your conditions."
Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up.
He Shaochen immediately realized what she was thinking. He immediately added, "But if you're talking about leaving, you don't have to say anything."
"You call this fulfilling one of my conditions?"
"Yes." He Shaochen declared domineeringly.
Qiao Qiao endured for a long time before she managed to stop herself from punching him. Alright, it was better than nothing.
After a while …
"Can you let go of me?" Qiao Qiao twisted her body uncomfortably. How long did he want to hug her? Wasn't it hot?
He Shaochen continued to hug Qiao Qiao without realizing it. He even hugged her tighter as if he was playing a prank. He rested his chin on Qiao Qiao's shoulder and sniffed the faint smell of disinfectant on her body.
"Your body is very hot. It's very comfortable."
"My high fever has just subsided. My body hasn't recovered yet. Hey, where are your hands touching?" Qiao Qiao unhappily pried away the wolf's claws that were trying to sneak under her clothes.
This was the office. Could he be more professional?
He Shaochen became a rascal with a hint of frivolity. A lazy smile appeared on his handsome face.
He gently bit Qiao Qiao's lips. "Qiao Qiao, you're actually not very resistant to me, right?"
"What?"
"After being with me for so long, don't you like me at all?"
Qiao Qiao was speechless. This person was too narcissistic.
"I heard from Lingyu that I was drunk yesterday and he asked you to pick me up. You didn't sleep in the middle of the night and insisted on coming over. Are you afraid that I'll be snatched away by another woman?"
"No, you're thinking too much." Qiao Qiao retorted righteously.
"Then why did you come? You knew that I would say bad things to you. Why did you still come? "
"I just …"
Qiao Qiao was halfway through her sentence when she met He Shaochen's deep eyes that seemed to suck her in. She stopped breathing and couldn't say the words that were at the tip of her tongue.
"Actually, you kind of like me, right?" He Shaochen had a charming smile on his face. He was very proud.
Qiao Qiao was a little confused. Speaking of which, she didn't know if she was crazy yesterday. She actually agreed to pick He Shaochen up. However, Qiao Qiao couldn't accept that she liked him.
But why did He Shaochen think that she liked him? Why did her heart beat so fast?
