Meeting Xu Anting Again
The calmness and calmness from before instantly fell apart.
She felt her blood flow accelerate, and her face quickly turned red and hot.
She didn't quite understand the principle behind this. Just one sentence actually made her heart beat faster, and she couldn't control herself.
"Oh … Thank you …"
The temperature in the car quickly rose. Qiao Qiao felt that there was insufficient blood supply to her brain, and her mind was a little muddled. She didn't even dare to look at He Shaochen's face, which made her feel particularly uneasy.
He Shaochen refused to let her go. He leaned forward and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Then tell me, do you still have feelings for Xu?"
Qiao Qiao didn't know if she still had feelings for Xu Anting. She only knew that if He Shaochen got close to her again, she would probably die of heart failure due to her accelerated heartbeat.
At this moment, He Shaochen's phone suddenly rang.
He Shaochen ignored him and continued to stare at Qiao Qiao, waiting for her answer.
Qiao Qiao felt her scalp go numb. She quickly averted her gaze and pointed at the phone. "Phone!"
"Don't change the subject. Answer me first." He Shaochen was surprisingly persistent.
Hearing that, Qiao Qiao knew that she couldn't avoid it.
However, she clearly knew that it was impossible for her to say that she didn't feel anything without a guilty conscience.
He Shaochen had said so seriously that he believed her, so she was even more unwilling to hide anything from him, even though he might get angry again.
She struggled for a moment between the kind concealment and the cruel truth, but she still didn't want to go against her heart.
Qiao Qiao sighed and said frankly, "I don't know."
"Joe Qiao, you …"
He Shaochen gritted his teeth.
Qiao Qiao bit her lip, lowered her head, and said, "I can only say that Professor Xu and I will not develop any other relationship apart from that of a teacher-student relationship. Even if I have feelings for him, it's impossible, so …"
Qiao Qiao didn't notice that He Shaochen's face darkened as she spoke.
"So, I'm actually just a spare tire for you to settle for, right?"
He Shaochen's voice suddenly turned cold. It was so cold that there was no trace of emotion.
Qiao Qiao was stunned. She raised her head and found that He Shaochen's face had turned gloomy, and his body was emitting a faint chill.
Her heart trembled. She knew that no matter how tactful she was, she had angered him. Just as she was about to explain, He Shaochen spoke again.
"Joe Qiao, you're really something. In your eyes, I, He Shaochen, am just a defective product that can't achieve your love, right?"
He roared angrily.
He had never felt so hurt and disappointed before. For the first time, someone could trample on his self-esteem with just a few words.
Joe Qiao, you're really something!
Qiao Qiao didn't know which of her words had touched He Shaochen's delicate nerves. Her face turned pale.
He Shaochen was willing to trust her, and she didn't want to lie to him. So, she just spoke her truest feelings. It seemed that she was still wrong …
"I didn't …"
Think that you're just …
Before she could finish her sentence, He Shaochen said angrily, "I must be crazy to be entangled with a woman like you!"
Thus, Qiao Qiao was kicked out of the car again.
This was the second time.
Fortunately, He Shaochen didn't leave her in the wilderness this time, and she had her wallet and phone with her.
However, this kind of method was very hurtful. That young master probably didn't think that his behavior would hurt other people's self-esteem.
That's right. Who asked him to be a young master? How could he really be considerate of others?
She sighed and stood there for a while. Then she started to walk to the bus stop, ready to take the bus back.
To be honest, she didn't think that He Shaochen would think so deeply.
Qiao Qiao always found fault with herself when she encountered problems. She thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that she was quite bad.
She hadn't sorted out her feelings for Xu Anting yet, but she ran to He Shaochen and said that she was willing to try dating him. How was this different from a fickle woman?
Joe Qiao, how did you become like this?
She didn't know how long He Shaochen would be angry this time, but when she saw his angry and sad expression, Joe Qiao felt guilty. She even thought of apologizing.
But when it came to relationships, was an apology useful?
If it was useful, there wouldn't be so many infatuated men and resentful women in the world.
Qiao Qiao was very upset. She didn't know whether it was because she was tired of her uncertainty or because she thought of He Shaochen's disappointed expression.
She waited for the bus while thinking about how this matter would develop.
He Shaochen seemed to be really angry this time. Would he really not want to see her again?
If that was the case, she wouldn't be as relaxed as before. She would feel a little depressed and flustered.
"Joe Qiao, why are you here?"
A familiar and pleasant male voice came.
Qiao Qiao turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Anting parked his car on the side. He leaned half of his body out to look at her.
"Professor Xu …"
Qiao Qiao said in surprise.
She suddenly felt a little funny. What she was afraid of really happened. In the past, she couldn't wait to spend more time with Xu Anting. Unfortunately, he was always on business trips and she couldn't see him.
Now, she didn't want to see him, but she kept bumping into him.
God was really playing a big joke on her.
"This place is quite far from the school. Why are you here alone?" Xu Anting got out of the car and walked to Qiao Qiao.
He was wearing a smoky gray slim-fit shirt with dark patterns. He looked fashionable and handsome. He was a completely different person from the meticulous white coat he used to wear.
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. She smiled faintly and replied, "I came out to do something."
It was Qiao Qiao's first time seeing Xu Anting since they parted that day. The two of them tacitly didn't mention He Shaochen. It was as if nothing had happened that night.
Xu Anting's gaze also swept over Qiao Qiao's body. There was a hint of surprise in his gentle eyes. "You're also wearing business attire?"
"Ah? Oh … "
Qiao Qiao looked at the clothes she was wearing today. Because she was going to send Mr. Botelli off with He Shaochen, she was wearing formal business attire.
She recalled how the two of them worked together yesterday. Although it seemed like a smoke-free war, it was exciting and enjoyable. However, she didn't expect that the two of them would fall out again so soon.
She still felt a little upset.
Xu Anting saw the faint disappointment in Qiao Qiao's eyes and his heart skipped a beat.
Why was she disappointed?
Was it because of that man?
He pursed his lips slightly and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists. There was a faint dull pain in his heart. Finally, he squeezed out a smile and said, "You look very beautiful in business attire."
Qiao Qiao didn't feel the slightest ripple in her heart when she heard that. She pursed her lips and smiled.
