Chapter 2203: Chapter 7: How Did You Survive Abroad for Four Years?
Qin Qingqing and her father, Qin Mu, went back to A City to visit her grandparents on both sides.
After staying there for a week, she received a call from the secretary of the Haochen Group’s president, saying that there was something important, and a shareholders’ meeting had been temporarily convened. She was asked to come back for the meeting.
“Qingqing, since the group has matters, you should go back tomorrow.”
In the courtyard.
Sitting next to her, Qin Mu, seeing her hang up the phone, gently comforted the troubled Qin Qingqing, “You grew up in G City, it would indeed be difficult to get used to developing in A City.”
Last night at the dining table, Qin Qingqing suddenly told them she wanted to stay in A City and not return to G City.
Upon hearing this, Qin Qingqing’s grandparents from both sides were delighted.
Her parents were both only children, and her mother, An Lin, had passed away four years ago, although Qin Mu had spent half his time over the years in A City accompanying the four elders.
But they still hoped Qingqing would stay.
Old Man Qin even said he’d hold a banquet to invite all the young talents of A City… to show their welcome for her decision to stay.
“Dad, why don’t you go back? If there’s truly something at the group, I wouldn’t understand it and wouldn’t be of any help.”
Qin Qingqing really didn’t want to go back.
That night, when Mo Ziye drove Shi Xi away in a luxurious business car, she saw Shi Xi looking at him with a smile as beautiful as a blooming flower.
Mo Ziye bringing her back for a family gathering indicated Shi Xi’s importance in his heart.
She didn’t want to stay in G City, didn’t want to become the target of any woman’s resentment.
Qin Mu shook his head with a smile, “How can that be? You’re now the major shareholder of the group. I’ve already transferred all my work, and you’ll be in charge from now on.”
“But…”
Qin Qingqing frowned.
“Qingqing, have you not forgotten Ziye?”
Qin Mu’s sudden words caused Qin Qingqing’s expression to freeze.
Her grip on the phone tightened inexplicably, and she forced a somewhat unnatural smile, “Dad, how could that be?”
“Since you haven’t forgotten Ziye, then you should go back.”
“So, Dad, are you going back?”
“I won’t go back. You were able to take care of yourself for four years when you were abroad, and I believe you can take care of yourself now.”
“I was originally planning to wait for my cousin to return from the army and meet with him…”
Qin Qingqing was a bit depressed.
A few days ago, she talked on the phone with Tang Jinchen, and he told her he’d be back in a few days.
They even planned to hang out then.
“If you miss Jinchen so much, I’ll have him visit you in G City when he returns.”
The next day, Qin Qingqing bought a ticket and flew back to G City.
Interestingly, she ran into Mo Ziye at the airport.
When her gaze landed on that imposing figure, a hint of astonishment flashed in Qin Qingqing’s beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
The next moment, seeing Shi Xi walk up to him, she averted her gaze and quickened her pace to move forward.
“Miss Qin.”
She hadn’t walked far when someone called her.
Qin Qingqing rolled her eyes.
Feeling the gaze cast on her from behind, she slowly turned around to look at the handsome couple standing a few steps away.
“Miss Qin, what a coincidence, are you also returning from out of town?”
When Shi Xi mentioned “also,” there was an inexplicable three parts boastfulness and proud sweetness.
As she spoke, she turned to glance at the man beside her.
She said, full of happiness, “I’m also back from out of town, Ziye specially came to pick me up. Miss Qin, it’s lunchtime now; would you like to join us for a meal? Ziye, you wouldn’t mind having Miss Qin join us, right?”
Mo Ziye did not smile from beginning to end, his handsome brow was cool and detached.
His long, deep gaze seemed to look at Qin Qingqing, yet also seemed to penetrate her, gazing elsewhere.
“No, being the third wheel would mean I’d never get married.”
Qin Qingqing smiled faintly as she declined.
Upon speaking, she sensed that person’s expression cool slightly.
Shi Xi, however, giggled, “Miss Qin, such a pretty and outstanding girl like yourself, how could you not find someone to marry? Could it be that you have a date with someone else, which is why you don’t join us for a meal?”
As if to affirm her words.
She had just finished speaking when a man’s voice came from behind, “Qingqing.”
“Why did you walk so fast? Here’s some water and medicine, take it first.”
As the man spoke, he stepped past Shi Xi and Mo Ziye, handing a bottle of mineral water and medicine to Qin Qingqing.
His care was unhidden in his words.
“Miss Qin, your boyfriend is truly considerate, are you feeling unwell?”
Shi Xi turned to look at the man, his looks were decent, but naturally, there was no comparison to Mo Ziye beside her.
“Yang Xiaofeng, thank you…”
Qin Qingqing took the medicine from Yang Xiaofeng’s hand, initially planning to say that her headache was gone, so she didn’t need to take the medicine.
But before she could finish, a cold male voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm interrupted her, “Don’t you have the common sense that you should go to the hospital if you’re sick? Randomly taking medicine, aren’t you afraid of being poisoned? How did you survive those years abroad?”
“Qingqing just has a headache from a cold, I bought a cold medicine; it won’t be poisonous.”
Hearing his words, an awkward look flashed across Yang Xiaofeng’s face.
He had just recognized Mo Ziye’s silhouette.
Originally, he had no intention of greeting him, as Mo Ziye’s aura was too strong and cold, making people feel pressured.
But his mocking words brought back memories of years ago, when he stood outside their classroom warning him.
Forbidding him from giving Qingqing chocolates.
The hand by his side clenched unconsciously.
He pressed his lips together and said stiffly, “Mo General and Miss Shi are public figures; staying in such a place for too long will attract reporters. Qingqing, I’ll take you home first.”
“I’ll take the medicine first.”
Qin Qingqing smiled as she said to Yang Xiaofeng and really lowered her head to take the medicine.
However, in the next second, the medicine in her hand was snatched away by someone.
She raised her head, looking at Mo Ziye, feeling breathless as she did.
The aura around him was somber.
“…”
Shi Xi wanted to say something.
But she opened her mouth and didn’t dare to speak.
Yang Xiaofeng’s expression shifted several times, his face slightly flushed red, but suddenly he didn’t know whether to speak.
The atmosphere was awkwardly stagnant.
During the confrontation between Mo Ziye and Qin Qingqing, it seemed as if everyone else around became invisible.
Qin Qingqing slightly opened her lips, about to ask Mo Ziye to return the medicine when the fresh scent of masculinity unexpectedly brushed across her nose.
Her small hand was grasped by a large one.
That familiar warmth seeped into her skin, causing her heartbeat to halt.
Her pupils widened, “…”
“You should go back to rest first, I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”
Mo Ziye’s words were not directed at Qin Qingqing but at Shi Xi.
He said nothing to Qin Qingqing, just dominantly pulling her forward with long strides.
Leaving Shi Xi and Yang Xiaofeng standing shocked, watching him lead Qin Qingqing away.
