Chapter 20
....He knew what life was like for her in the Qiao family. It had been like this since she was young. Qiao Ya would get plenty of expensive stuff which she had to live without. Fortunately, she did not really mind. It was just that sometimes when she really wanted something, she would talk about it again and again to Li Yan. “Big brother, what does the ice cream Qiao Ya is eating taste like? It looks really tasty.”
Li Yan would then reply, “It’s spicy.”
“Ah? It’s definitely not tasty, then.”
Li Yan would then laugh as he looked at her. Now that Qiao Mu thought about it, he was definitely laughing because of how stupid she was. She used to believe in everything he said.
He would then buy her an ice cream, and she would eat it so messily that her lips were full of cream. She would then ask him, “Big brother, do you want to give it a try. There’s some cream on my lips. Do you want to lick it?”
Qiao Mu was surprised at how good her memory was. She had actually forgotten a lot of things that had happened when she was young, but after she met Li Yan again, she could not help but recall a lot of memories she shared with him.
When she regained her senses, she saw that Li Yan was walking toward him. She froze and looked vigilantly at him as he approached her. She clutched her blanket tightly.
Li Yan’s expression turned dark. Her vigilance had put him in an extremely bad mood.
Li Yan stood beside the bed and leaned closer to Qiao Mu, supporting himself by placing a hand on the bed. Qiao Mu vigilantly inched backward to keep a distance from him.
His handsome countenance was right before her face. Whenever he was expressionless, his face was ice-cold, and he emanated an extremely icy aura that radiated from the inside to the outside. For some reason, this made her anxious.
Li Ya said in a low voice, “You want money so that you can buy luxury goods?”
“Yes!” Qiao Mu nodded vigorously.
“Is there anything else you want?”
“Nothing else!” At this moment, Qiao Mu forgot how anxious she was. She suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, and it was as if she could see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Li Yan’s gaze fell upon her exposed shoulders. Her skin was as fair as a flawless piece of jade, and it was tremendously soft too.
His eyes darkened with desire. He picked up his suit jacket and walked out of the room after saying coldly, “Come to my company on Monday.”
Qiao Mu widened her eyes and said nothing. ‘Does this mean that he has agreed to it?’
…..
Qiao Mu’s entire body was aching as she left the hotel room. Li Yan had left after saying those words, and she did not have time to ask him if he would be giving her money when she headed to her company on Monday.
Just as Qiao Mu was about to exit the hotel, she saw Yao Shu in the hotel lobby. Qiao Mu walked over to her and asked, “Young Shu, why are you here?”
Since she was showing up so early in the morning in the hotel lobby, she was probably checking out instead of checking in.
Yao Shu blushed and smiled shyly. “Mu Mu, I confessed last night, and he said yes!”
Qiao Mu froze and asked in astonishment. “Yao Shu, don’t tell me that you were… staying with him here last night?”
Yao Shu was blushing, and she did not deny it. Qiao Mu immediately understood what was going on. Were things not progressing a little too fast? They were spending a night together right after they started dating?
Erm, she did not seem to be a position to comment on this. After all, Yao Shu was spending the night with her boyfriend, but Qiao Mu spent the night with her uncle…
Qiao Mu’s cell phone started ringing. It was a call from Han Su. Qiao Mu could vaguely remember that she had bumped into Han Su after she was drunk. She quickly answered the call.
Han Su asked, “Mu Mu, you were drunk yesterday, and Li Yan left with you. Is he really your uncle?”
Qiao Mu did not remember what she had said last night. She replied, “He is, Senior Han Su. Don’t worry, I’m okay. Thank you for your help, but I don’t think that the nightclub is a suitable place for me to work at. I won’t be going there anymore.”
After Qiao Mu thanked Han Su, she hung up. However, she saw that Yao Shu was fixing her gaze on her.
“Mu Mu, you were talking to Senior Han Su, weren’t you? Are you very close to him?”
