Chapter 503: Worried About Him

Translator: Henyee Translations    Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Qiao didn’t pick up Shao Jingmo at all when she reached Terminal Three. When she called him, she found out that he had already left the airport and had arrived at the hotel he was staying at. He was simply toying with her!

Qiao Qiao was furious. When she was on the phone with Shao Jingmo, she was obsequious. After the call ended, she kept cursing. “This dog man! No! He’s not even a man! He should be a dog! Is it fun to play with me? Can’t you tell me before you go to the hotel? I made a wasted trip! Dog, dog, dog!’

She thought her scolding was pretty nasty. But the driver and Dao Xi in front of them couldn’t help but laugh.

However, Dao Xi was a little surprised. Wasn’t it a little immoral for Miss Qiao, as a niece, to scold her biological uncle like this? Forget it. This wasn’t his business. When people were angry, they really couldn’t control their mouths.

Besides, Miss Qiao’s Little Uncle was indeed unkind. He knew that they would pick him up, but he went to the hotel alone first. Seeing that Qiao Qiao was furious, Dao Xi comforted her and asked, “Miss Qiao, are you going to the hotel now?”

“What am I going for! I’m not going!’

Qiao Qiao didn’t even think about it and said she wouldn’t go,

Dao Xi naturally listened to Qiao Qiao. She turned around and instructed the chauffeur, “Go back to the old residence.’

The chauffeur agreed and changed the route.

The atmosphere in the car quickly quietened down.

Qiao Qiao stopped scolding. She looked silently at the buildings that kept retreating outside the car window. Under her vision, they were colorful and dazzling. The night scenery on this road was indeed beautiful.

As she watched, she recalled the call with Shao Jingmo just now. Shao Jingmo sounded very tired when he spoke to her. Was he very tired? Or was he not feeling well?

She thought about it for a long time and kept fighting in her heart. Seeing that they were less than two minutes away from the MO residence, Qiao Qiao finally changed her mind and shouted, “Stop the car!”

The chauffeur found a suitable spot and pulled over. When the car stopped, Dao Xi turned around and asked, “Miss Qiao, where… Hey, Miss Qiao, where are you going?”

Qiao Qiao had already opened the car door. “l remembered that I have something to deal with. You guys can go back first. Don’t wait for me.”

With that, she pushed open the car door and got out.

Dao Xi immediately got out of the car and went forward to block Qiao Qiao’s way. “Miss Qiao, Matriarch has instructed me to stay by your side and protect you until you return to the MO residence.”

Although Li Xiwu hadn’t mentioned Qiao Qiao’s matter to Guan Suling, she had specially mentioned the matter of ensuring Qiao Qiao’s safety. Guan Suling had remembered it in her heart, which was why she had sent the most trusted Dao Xi to send Qiao Qiao to the airport.

Dao Xi was worried that Qiao Qiao would leave alone at this time. If anything happened, he wouldn’t be able to report back.

Therefore, he could only forcefully stop Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao didn’t want to trouble Dao Xi. She just didn’t want to trouble them. After a few words of communication, she returned to the car under Dao Xi’s persuasion and gave the address she was going to.

When Dao Xi heard it was some hotel, he instantly understood what was going on. It turned out that Miss Qiao was still worried about her Little Uncle on the surface and wanted to go over and take a look.

The hotel was not far from here. After arriving at the hotel more than ten minutes later, Dao Xi personally sent Qiao Qiao up. She found the door number and raised her hand to knock, but no one came to open the door. Dao Xi asked, “Miss Qiao, are you sure it’s this room?”

Qiao Qiao was very sure at first. She had already read the hotel location and door number Shao Jingmo had sent her many times in the car.

Now that Dao Xi had asked, she was suddenly not so sure. She picked up her phone and looked at it. She repeatedly compared it to the room number. When she was sure, she said, “It’s this one.’

Dao Xi said, “Then I’ll go to the hotel front desk.”

Qiao Qiao nodded. “Thank you.”

After watching Dao Xi leave, Qiao Qiao leaned against the door frame and waited. She didn’t know if it was really such a coincidence, but not long after Dao Xi left, the door opened. Qiao Qiao was stunned for two seconds, then quickly stood up and looked up at the person inside.

It had been a while since she last saw Shao Jingmo. When she saw him again, she almost thought that she had knocked on the wrong door. The person inside did not look like the usually well-dressed Shao Jingmo.

He looked extremely haggard. It was as if he was terminally ill.

Qiao Qiao  had never seen Shao Jingmo like this before and was almost frightened. She stuttered for a long time and couldn’t say a word. She just stared at him in a daze.

Shao Jingmo’s gaze stopped on Qiao Qiao’s beautiful face. His eyes were calm. After looking at each other for a moment, he spoke first. “It’s been a few days since we last met. Don’t you recognize me?”

Qiao Qiao suddenly came back to her senses. This time, she was certain that the person in front of her was Shao Jingmo. Although he looked haggard and not as high-spirited as usual, she could tell that it was Shao Jingmo’s voice.

She quickly adjusted her expression and retorted, “That’s right. It’s only been a few days since we last met. How is Little Uncle terminally ill? The New Year is in twenty days. Can you last until the New Year?”

Faced with Qiao Qiao’s mocking tone, Shao Jingmo didn’t mind. Before turning around and going in, he threw her a sentence. “Don’t worry. I won’t let you be a widow for three to five years.”

The sneer on Qiao Qiao’s lips faded a little as she followed Shao Jingmo in. “If I understand correctly, I’ll really be a widow in three to five years?”

“l can die early, too, if that’s how you interpret it,” he said in a flat tone.

Qiao Qiao’s expression suddenly changed. She was shocked and surprised, but she quickly regained her composure and thought that Shao Jingmo was joking. If she wanted him to die early, would he really die early? Hah, the real probability was that he was not dead even after she died.

Qiao Qiao didn’t take it seriously. “That’s not funny at all.”

Shao Jingmo turned around. Qiao Qiao stopped abruptly and bumped into him a little later. “What? Are you angry because I didn’t catch your cold joke?”

She was a little bolder now and was not as afraid of him as before. Moreover, he did not bring anyone with him when he came to the capital this time. It was equivalent to being alone. She even had the confidence to speak to him. Shao Jingmo’s expression was unreadable. “You think this is a joke?”

Qiao Qiao shrugged. “Isn’t it?”

Shao Jingmo retracted his gaze. “Yes.”

Qiao Qiao smiled. “l told you so. But although your cold joke isn’t funny, it’s indeed a little cold. Who says they can die early?”

She said the last sentence casually, but when Shao Jingmo heard it, his depressed mood actually eased a little. Even the wound on his waist did not hurt so much. The young lady’s words were occasionally infuriating, but sometimes they were sweet.

Unknowingly, a smile appeared on his lips. Qiao Qiao had caught him. She guessed that it was because of what she had just said that his expression improved a little..
