Shen Xin hesitated for a few seconds before telling him the date of her departure.
…
After leaving the hospital and getting into the car, Qiao Chen looked a little dazed.
Even the chauffeur could tell that something was wrong.
“Young Master, are you alright?”
Qiao Chen shook his head. “I’m fine.”
“But you look a little tired? Are you going back to the Mo Residence now, or the Zhushui Villa?”
Zhushui Manor was Mo Xingshu’s farmstead and Qiao Chen’s second home.
Qiao Chen looked tired. “To Jingyang Road.”
The small apartment he bought was on Jingyang Road.
Besides Qiao Mianmian, he hadn’t brought anyone else there.
It was his private space.
Whenever he was troubled, he would go there.
“Jingyang Road? Alright, I’ll send you there right away.” Although the driver was puzzled, he didn’t dare to ask further after seeing his expression.
This Little Master seemed to have a good personality.
He was always gentle and polite to his employees.
But the chauffeur was often in charge of fetching Qiao Chen, and he was good at reading people. He could naturally tell if Qiao Chen was really gentle.
This Young Master seemed to have a good temper.
But it wasn’t that easy.
If he became unhappy, he would lose his temper.
…
At the banquet.
Qiao Mianmian sent Qiao Chen a WeChat message to ask about Shen Xin.
After a while, he replied: [The doctor said that her condition isn’t very serious. She’ll be fine after resting in the hospital for a while.]
Qiao Mianmian was relieved to see his reply.
She’d seen Shen Xin a few times, and because she had a good impression of her, she didn’t want anything to happen to such a beautiful and cute girl.
Qiao Mianmian: [You’re still in the hospital?]
Qiao Chen: [I’m leaving.]
Qiao Mianmian looked at the time and was a little surprised. [Why didn’t you stay in the hospital for a while more? Girls’ hearts are very fragile at such times, and they need someone to care for and take care of them. If you don’t do something now, when are you going to?]
After knowing her brother’s feelings for Shen Xin, Qiao Mianmian was more direct.
Qiao Chen replied a few minutes later.
[She said she was tired, so I left. Moreover, I don’t think there’s a need for me to show off.]
Qiao Mianmian could tell that something was wrong.
She quickly asked: [Why? Don’t you like her?]
Qiao Chen: [Sister, when Shen Xin’s leg recovers, she’ll leave Yuncheng City. I listened to your suggestion and asked her to stay, but she said she has to listen to her family’s arrangements. She and I… are impossible.]
Qiao Mianmian was shocked.
When Qiao Chen talked to her previously, she knew that the friend he was talking about was definitely Shen Xin.
She guessed that Qiao Chen would ask her to stay.
But she hadn’t expected this outcome.
Qiao Chen: [Sister, I’m not coming back. If there’s anything, please help me settle it.]
Qiao Mianmian guessed that he was in a bad mood.
After replying, she felt a little hungry and picked up a plate of desserts.
She looked up and saw Tang Ya sitting opposite her holding a glass of red wine.
