"Of course, you’re my husband. If I don’t care for you, who else would I care for?"
Wen Ran nodded earnestly.
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes imdiately filled with laughter. Although they were an old couple, their love had not diminished over the years.
Hearing Wen Ran say such things, his heart instantly felt like it was overflowing with happiness.
"Ranran, just for those words, I’ll have to call Ziye later and give him a piece of my mind, urging him to hurry and settle down so it doesn’t delay our world travel plans."
"We’ve played enough in the last few years, and now I really want to hold my grandchildren."
——
Far away on a business trip, Mo Ziye really had no idea Shi Xi would go to the company to find Qingqing.
Receiving a call from his father, Mo Xiuchen, and listening to his stern questioning and reprimand, Mo Ziye finally understood the rough situation.
"Dad, I understand. I’ll handle this matter."
In the hotel, Mo Ziye stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with the docunts he just read still on the coffee table behind him.
His father’s voice, Mo Xiuchen, ca through his ear, "Ziye, we don’t care who you’re dating, but if you let those chaotic people disturb Qingqing again, we’ll take her to the Imperial City."
"Dad, does Mom think the sa?"
"Indeed, it’s the shared thought of your mom and ."
"Dad, rest assured, if this happens in the company for the second ti, I’ll willingly resign from my position as president."
"Are you threatening ?"
Mo Xiuchen coldly sneered in anger.
Mo Ziye appeared calm and composed, and his voice was cool and clear, "Dad, you’re overthinking it. It’s just my own idea."
After finishing the call with his father, Mo Ziye hesitated for a mont.
Returning to the sofa, he lit a cigarette, leaning his tall figure back into the sofa.
He took a couple of puffs and then picked up his phone from the coffee table, dialing Qin Qingqing’s number.
Shi Xi had created quite a scene but hadn’t called him.
As Mo Ziye waited for Qin Qingqing to answer the phone, he took another drag on his cigarette.
Thinking of sothing, he stubbed out the remaining cigarette in the ashtray.
The phone rang for a long ti with no answer.
A hint of irritation crept onto Mo Ziye’s brows, and the chiseled features of his face took on a hardened edge.
She wasn’t answering his call.
He then dialed Zhang Minghui’s number.
Two minutes later, Qin Qingqing’s voice finally ca through.
It was faint, just like the slightly chilly weather outside the window, "Hello!"
"I didn’t know Shi Xi would go to the company to find you. She called in the morning saying she’d return to G City today, and I told her I was going on a business trip."
Mo Ziye explained calmly.
On the other end, there was silence.
He didn’t know if Qin Qingqing heard his explanation.
After waiting a few seconds, Mo Ziye called out, his voice slightly deepened, "Qingqing."
"I heard you. I’m busy now. If there’s nothing else, let’s hang up."
Qin Qingqing was indifferent to his explanation.
She didn’t even want to continue the conversation.
This left Mo Ziye feeling stifled in his chest, his tone losing the warmth and patience it had earlier, "If you don’t like Shi Xi, just tell . As long as you say so, I’ll break up with her imdiately."
After a brief silence, Qin Qingqing’s soft and gentle voice ca through, "Brother Ziyi, such jokes are not funny at all. Shi Xi is your girlfriend. As long as you like her, it’s fine."
"Suit yourself."
Mo Ziye said this and hung up angrily.
Qin Qingqing, you’re so proud!
——
"Qingqing, did Ziye call to apologize to you?"
At Haochen Group, Zhang Minghui saw her staring blankly at her phone by Qin Qingqing’s desk.
A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he smiled slightly, asking.
Qin Qingqing’s thoughts were interrupted. She looked up and handed the phone back to him, "No."
He wasn’t apologizing at all.
So impatient, was he the sa with Shi Xi? Or had all his pampering and gentleness been given to another woman, and with her, he was so easily irritable?
"Ziye said he just found out about Shi Xi’s matter, and asked to co and find you. I thought he was apologizing."
Zhang Minghui’s eyes held confusion, giving Qin Qingqing a concerned look.
Qin Qingqing smiled indifferently, "Little Hui, go back to your work."
"Are you free tonight?"
Zhang Minghui didn’t leave right away but looked at her and asked.
"Is there sothing?"
"If you’re free, let’s have dinner together. Many new restaurants with good flavors have opened in G City during the years you weren’t here."
Qin Qingqing suddenly understood, "I probably can’t make it these days. I have guests at ho."
"Huh?"
"My cousin ca to G City to see . I can’t leave him and go out to eat. Let’s wait until he leaves, and then I’ll treat you."
As she spoke, a bright smile spread across Qin Qingqing’s face.
Watching her brilliant smile, Zhang Minghui nodded unconsciously, "Alright, you’ll treat then."
——
Qin Qingqing kept busy until the end of the day without taking a break.
She didn’t have the ti to ponder what Mo Ziye ant by those words, or why he suddenly got angry.
Leaving the office, she saw Zhang Minghui waiting there, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you ho."
The two walked out of the company, and Qin Qingqing imdiately spotted Tang Jinchen waiting by the roadside.
He was driving her family’s car, standing tall and handso in the sunset, looking carefree and dashing.
"Brother Little Hui, I won’t need a ride with you. My cousin ca to pick up."
Upon reaching the roadside, Qin Qingqing saw that Ye Zhan was also sitting inside the car.
In contrast to Tang Jinchen, who was leaning against the car like a model, Ye Zhan stayed low-key, seated inside.
It was only when Qin Qingqing approached the car that he opened the car door for her from inside.
With a smile, he spoke warmly, "Qingqing, hop in."
"Why are you here too? I thought it was just my cousin."
As Qin Qingqing spoke, she turned to look at Tang Jinchen.
Why is Ye Zhan in the back seat out of the two of them?
Tang Jinchen t her gaze, smiling as he explained, "Ah Zhan and I are taking turns as drivers each day. Get in, Auntie is already preparing dinner."
Once inside the car, Ye Zhan smiled warmly, "Jinchen and I will be your drivers in G City for these few days, taking you to and from work."
"There’s no need. I can drive myself tomorrow."
"We can’t just eat and stay for free. Besides, you don’t need to worry about our driving skills."
"You’re staying at the Mo family, not at my house."
"The Mo family is letting stay because of you. Besides, even while I’m staying at the Mo family, I eat at your house."
Not just in the morning, even today at noon, Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen had lunch at the Qin family’s house.
Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran’s gracious invitations had been politely declined by them.
Ye Zhan simply explained that he was in G City for a mission, which had an irregular schedule and didn’t want to keep them waiting for his als.
He wasn’t lying.
Today, they had lunch at Qin’s house as late as two in the afternoon.
Saying this, Ye Zhan handed Qin Qingqing a delicate box, "I heard you like chocolate, so I just bought so."
