With all the commotion, it was almost noon.
Xiyan ignored him and turned to leave.
The next second, her arm was grabbed tightly by Ou Jue, his voice sharpening as his volu slightly increased. "Xia Xiyan, I’m talking to you!"
"I’m not hungry, I don’t want to go to the amusent park. I just want to go ho right now."
Ou Jue stared at her for a long mont before slightly parting his thin lips. "No."
"I want to go ho." Xiyan repeated firmly.
"I said no. You have to stay by my side all day today."
"Ou Jue!" Xiyan was completely furious now. She shook off his hand and snapped, "If you’re so free, why don’t you call Assistant Chen back to personally send Qiao Qianmo ho! Earlier at the hospital, when you stopped Qiao Qianmo from leaving on her own and said Assistant Chen would take her, didn’t you see the grin on her face almost reaching the heavens? If you sent her yourself, your so-called cousin would probably feel like her heart just blood into a garden!"
After being with Ou Jue for so long,
They had never once quarreled face-to-face like this.
And never this fiercely.
What’s more, they were fighting over another girl.
Ou Jue’s tone was icy, "Must you always make a scene because of Qiao Qianmo?"
In his mind, Qiao Qianmo was nothing more than a cousin, nothing else.
What on earth was this silly girl struggling over?
Hearing Ou Jue’s words, Xiyan was so angry she almost laughed.
What did he an, *I’m making a scene*?
Qiao Qianmo clearly liked Ou Jue.
Was I wrong in saying that?!
"Get out of my way!" Xiyan furiously pushed him aside and stord off.
anwhile,
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Qiao Qianmo looked as demure as ever, but her eyes were subtly checking the car’s side mirror.
The car had already driven a dozen ters ahead, but she could faintly see that Xiyan and Ou Jue seed to be arguing.
As he drove, Assistant Chen asked, "Miss Qianmo, you’ll be heading back to S country soon, right?"
Retracting her gaze, Qiao Qianmo sat even more delicately upright. "Yes."
She was about to return to S country.
As though recalling sothing, Qiao Qianmo let out a soft laugh. "Brother Ou and Sister Xiyan really do have a great relationship."
Assistant Chen nodded vigorously, almost like a bobblehead. "Absolutely, absolutely. Our young master spoils Miss Xia endlessly. I’ve been working for him for so long, and I’ve never seen him so patient with anyone before."
When it cos to Miss Xia, he practically spoils her to the skies! It’s who has to endure their constant displays of affection over and over again.
Hearing Assistant Chen’s words, Qiao Qianmo pressed her lips together into a faint smile and said nothing further.
After returning ho, Qiao Qianmo sat on the sofa, lost in thought as she stared at her phone.
Finally, her thumb slid over the contact list, searching for a number.
Elsewhere,
Madam Ou was out shopping when her eyes landed on a light blue dress displayed in a shop window.
The sales assistant greeted her with a warm smile. "Madam, you have excellent taste. This design is the latest from our designer and looks particularly stunning on fair-skinned girls."
Without even glancing at the price tag, Madam Ou imdiately said, "I’ll take it. Wrap it up for ."
This dress would be absolutely perfect for that girl, Xiyan.
Just as she was about to swipe her card, her phone rang.
Checking the number, she answered. "Hello?"
"Auntie, I have so earth-shattering news."
"Oh? What is it?"
Qiao Qianmo lifted her gaze, enunciating every word slowly. "My dad has located Miss Susan in S country."
That single sentence caused Madam Ou’s Black Card to slip from her hand and fall to the ground. "What did you just say? Who did he find?!"
