If you say so, I'll believe you.
The meeting was finally over.
"Even Mr. Botelli said that you are indeed very suitable to be a translator. Are you sure you don't want to consider this career?"
He Shaochen asked.
Qiao Qiao shook her head. "No. If I wanted to be a translator, I would have graduated years ago. Since I have decided to pursue an academic career, I will not change my mind."
"…"
He Shaochen saw no hesitation in Qiao Qiao's amber eyes.
Although Qiao Qiao did not care about what kind of work she did, he was a little unhappy. Was she always in the academic field because of that Xu guy?
"Don't overthink it. The reason why I insist on pursuing academia is because I have spent too much effort on this. I don't want to give up halfway."
Seeing He Shaochen's expression, Qiao Qiao knew that he had misunderstood and immediately added another sentence.
He Shaochen snorted coldly. He looked straight at Qiao Qiao. "Is it really not because of Xu?"
Qiao Qiao's mouth twitched. There was no end to this.
He wanted to deny it.
But when he thought about it, since he had decided to try to get along with He Shaochen, he should try his best not to hide anything from him. Otherwise, it would become a hidden danger one day.
"Um … Actually, Professor Xu was one of the reasons …"
As soon as Qiao Qiao said that, He Shaochen's face darkened. His face darkened, and a cold aura emerged from his body.
"Joe Qiao, you …"
"Don't be angry."
Qiao Qiao grabbed He Shaochen's hand, looked around, and whispered, "This is the airport. Don't ruin your image."
He Shaochen said coldly, "Heh, you're really a busybody."
At the mention of Xu Anting, it was as if he had eaten gunpowder.
Qiao Qiao grabbed onto He Shaochen and said to Ling Yu, "Secretary Ling, please drive the car over."
"… Okay." Ling Yu nodded hesitantly. In the end, he still went to get the car.
Qiao Qiao exhaled and said to He Shaochen in a negotiating tone, "Don't be angry. I'll explain it to you slowly, okay?"
He Shaochen snorted coldly, but still agreed.
In the car, He Shaochen no longer had the serious look he had when he met Mr. Botelli. Instead, he became the arrogant young master again. He sat in the car with an arrogant look on his face as he looked at Qiao Qiao, who was sitting beside him.
"You can explain now."
"…"
Although Qiao Qiao was willing to explain, when she saw He Shaochen's arrogant attitude, she still had the urge to slap him.
"First of all, the purpose of my explanation is not because I'm guilty. I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble because of this matter. Don't get it wrong." Qiao Qiao said seriously.
He Shaochen snorted and did not say anything.
However, the meaning in his eyes was very clear. You'd better give me a satisfactory answer.
Qiao Qiao suddenly did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"I did have a crush on Professor Xu, and it was because of his influence that I decided to pursue an academic career …"
He Shaochen could not listen to half of her words. His face was dark, and his words were sarcastic.
"Hehe, you don't even want your dreams for a man? Qiao Qiao, are you stupid? "
This woman really dared to say that.
Did she think that he was not angry enough and wanted to add fuel to the fire?
Qiao Qiao glared at him. "Can you not interrupt me? Let me finish what I'm saying. "
He Shaochen snorted coldly.
"If it weren't for you, I might have continued to have a crush on him. One day, I might not be able to hold it in anymore and directly go to Professor Xu …"
"Qiao Qiao, that's enough. Do you know who you are? You're He Shaochen's woman. How dare you flirt with other men!"
"He Shaochen, that's enough. Can you finish listening to me?"
Qiao Qiao was also a little angry. This young master's temper was coming out again.
"Am I spoiling you too much? How dare you talk to me like this?" He Shaochen leaned forward and accurately clamped Qiao Qiao's delicate chin. However, he did not use any strength.
Qiao Qiao glared at him without backing down. "Shouldn't you be spoiling me?"
Even Ling Yu, who was driving in front, almost slipped and hit the car on the side when he heard such bold words.
Miss Qiao, you really dared to say that!
She thought that He Shaochen would definitely mock her, but this time, he miraculously did not say anything.
Qiao Qiao's face was a little hot. She regretted what she said just now. Fortunately, He Shaochen did not say anything this time. Otherwise, she might really find a hole to hide in.
She sighed softly, sorted out her emotions, and said, "I'll tell you directly. It's impossible between Professor Xu and me, so you don't have to be angry because I'm Professor Xu's student."
He Shaochen felt inexplicably good when he heard this.
However, He Shaochen was a tsundere, so even if he was in a good mood, he would not show it.
He Shaochen's sexy thin lips curved slightly, but his face was still cold. "Why should I believe you?"
Qiao Qiao shrugged indifferently.
"I don't expect you to believe me. I just feel that I have to say it. It's up to you to believe me or not."
"You're quite open-minded."
He Shaochen's face darkened.
Did she not think of using practical actions to express her feelings?
She wanted to gain his trust with such a simple sentence? What right did she have to do that?
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. "I can't control your thoughts. If you misunderstand, I can't do anything about it."
"Hmph."
He Shaochen looked away unhappily. Clearly, he was not satisfied with Qiao Qiao's answer.
Qiao Qiao saw this and did not try to pacify him. Her thoughts were simple. She had already explained the situation clearly, so He Shaochen's decision was not something she could control.
Even if she coaxed him now, it would be useless if he had doubts in his heart.
She might as well put him aside and let him figure it out himself.
Qiao Qiao had given herself two days off. There were a lot of things to do at school, so she had to think about how many days she would have to stay up to make up for the work that she had missed.
Just thinking about it gave her a headache.
After a short while, He Shaochen turned his head awkwardly. He stared at her and asked, "You really don't have feelings for that Xu guy?"
Qiao Qiao turned around and looked at him. She did not know whether to laugh or cry.
So he was still conflicted.
He was someone who could make the country tremble with a stomp of his feet. Yet, he was conflicted over such feelings. If it were in the past, Qiao Qiao would have thought that this kind of person was very childish. But now …
She felt that he was quite cute.
"You won't believe that someone who has had a crush on you for seven to eight years suddenly says that they don't have feelings for each other …"
"I believe you," He Shaochen suddenly said in a serious tone.
"Huh …"
Qiao Qiao was stunned.
He Shaochen's dark eyes shone with a deep light. He looked at her seriously and said word by word, "As long as you say that you don't have feelings for each other, I will believe you."
"Dong!"
