Chapter 1568: Chapter 1568: Don’t Scare Your Sister-in-law (5)
“No one’s fighting you for food,” Xiao Mo said calmly.
“Cough cough…” Xia Chuqing choked.
“Mr. Xiao, um… could you possibly not sit with for als anymore? It feels weird,” Xia Chuqing negotiated with Xiao Mo.
It was indeed weird, with strange looks from all around.
For example, surprise, envy, disdain, indifference…
“Don’t you want to go see your father tomorrow?” Xiao Mo replied.
“…” One sentence left Xia Chuqing speechless.
She had no choice but to lower her head, remain silent, and continue eating.
He can sit wherever he wants, she still wants to see her father, can’t upset him, or else he won’t take her.
Xia Chuqing ate quickly; she just wanted to get to the office sooner.
“Eat slowly, no one’s snatching it from you.” Saying this, he picked so at from his bowl and placed it in hers, “Eat more at, grow stronger.”
Xia Chuqing nearly spat out a mouthful of rice, she glared at him: “Mr. Xiao, I’m not a three-year-old, be mindful of the impression.”
“With your tiny fra…” Xiao Mo looked at her with disdain, giving her a quick glance.
“Can we keep so distance? Rumors are flying everywhere!” Xia Chuqing said discontentedly.
“They’re already flying everywhere. I don’t mind a bit more.”
“I still want to find a boyfriend in the future!”
“Soone who wants you like this?”
“…”
Oh well, Xia Chuqing decided not to argue.
Xiao Mo is purely amusing himself at her expense, can’t do anything about it, he’s the boss, she can only endure.
Xia Chuqing has sharp ears, she heard gossip while eating.
“Seems like what’s said on the forum is true, Mr. Xiao really has a girlfriend.”
“Mr. Xiao is so handso, never seen him in the employee cafeteria before.”
“It’s my first ti seeing him here, he’s even more handso in person than in photos.”
“But Xia Chuqing doesn’t look happy, having such a handso boyfriend, yet not pleased?”
“Hey hey hey, look, Mr. Xiao is serving Xia Chuqing food, so considerate and gentle.”
“Really, I’d be thrilled to have such a boyfriend…”
People were gossiping so loudly that Xia Chuqing couldn’t even lift her head.
She had always been low-key, but after eting Xiao Mo, she couldn’t stay low-key, inadvertently becoming the subject of gossip.
Xia Chuqing glanced at Xiao Mo from the corner of her eye; he looked unbothered, as if he hadn’t heard.
Of course, he pretended not to hear, they were all praises for him.
Xia Chuqing felt extrely awkward, halfway through the al, she stopped eating and simply ran away!
Xiao Mo was caught off guard, not expecting Xia Chuqing to pull such a move on him.
Xia Chuqing fled to the elevator entrance, patting her chest, still shaken.
“Hello, Sister-in-law.” A few guys greeted Xia Chuqing cheerfully.
Xia Chuqing was startled: “You guys… calling ?”
“Yes, you’re Mr. Xiao’s girlfriend, you’re our sister-in-law.”
Xia Chuqing was so scared, she felt flustered, wondering who these people were.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo caught up, smiling slightly at them, and jokingly said: “Don’t scare your sister-in-law.”
“Yes, yes.”
Xiao Mo gave them a look, they understood, and all retreated.
At the elevator door, only Xia Chuqing and Xiao Mo remained, Xia Chuqing wanted to hide, but Xiao Mo casually asked, “What ti are you planning to go tomorrow,” making Xia Chuqing stop running.
“Let’s go early, this ti could you help talk to the prison officials, let stay with my dad a bit longer.” Xia Chuqing pleaded.
“With the way you wouldn’t even finish a al with , how do you expect to help you?”
“…” Xia Chuqing gritted her teeth, does he have to hold a grudge and seize every chance for revenge?
She avoided him for the sake of his reputation, didn’t she?
After so hesitation, Xia Chuqing compromised: “Mr. Xiao… whatever you say, I’ll listen to you.”
“You’ll listen to ?”
“Yes.”
“That’s good.” Xiao Mo’s lips curled slightly, but his expression remained dignified, like a true gentleman.
Xia Chuqing thought, aside from being sowhat unreasonable, Xiao Mo was actually okay.
He took care of her, offering her snacks during afternoon tea, like when she worked overti, he’d wait to go ho with her.
In the evening, Xia Chuqing secretly called the aunt of Mo Family: “Auntie, you said you’d be back in half a month, isn’t it about ti, are you coming back?”
Auntie replied over the phone: “Miss Xia, it’s almost New Year, I really can’t leave, if it’s not too much trouble, could you help a little longer? My family is very busy, my daughter-in-law just had a baby.”
“Ah?” Xia Chuqing blinked, “So you’re returning after the New Year.”
“Oh well, who can resist making money, I really can’t leave.” Auntie sighed.
“I understand, you’re busy.”
Xia Chuqing also thought, who could resist making money, she must be really busy, nothing she can do about it.
“Miss Xia, if you understand, that’s good.”
“Yes yes.”
After hanging up, Xia Chuqing shut her eyes in despair.
Auntie gleefully called Xiao Mo: “Mr. Xiao, just now Miss Xia asked when I would return, I said all that you taught .”
“Hmm, good.”
“Thank you, Mr. Xiao.”
Auntie happily hung up the phone; after all, getting paid without working felt fantastic!
She wished for this day to be every year, this mont to last forever!
…
The next day, Xiao Mo really did take Xia Chuqing to the prison, the visit wasn’t easy, even though he could sway things in C City, in this setting, he had to handle relations properly.
As usual, Officer Wang accompanied Xia Chuqing inside, Xiao Mo waited outside alone.
He calculated, there were about ten days left before the New Year, this girl might feel sentintal again.
With this thought in mind, he called a pet shop.
“Yes, get a small poodle.”
“Hmm, pick a healthy one and prepare the dog food too.”
“As soon as possible, deliver it to my place by 3 PM.”
After the call, Xiao Mo opened the car window to smoke.
This ti, he had arranged with soone inside, put in considerable effort, just so she could talk with Xia Yongfang a few extra minutes.
But from Xia Chuqing’s perspective, half an hour still felt too brief, she couldn’t bear to leave.
As usual, when Officer Wang ca to prompt her again, she reluctantly bid farewell to Xia Yongfang.
“Dad, it won’t be long, only a year and a half left, hang in there, I’ll bring you ho by then.”
Xia Yongfang’s eyes welled with tears: “Okay, okay, don’t worry about Dad, just work hard, always rember what Dad told you.”
“Yes, I rember all of it.”
“Miss Xia, it’s ti to go.” Officer Wang gently reminded.
No matter how reluctant, Xia Chuqing could only follow Officer Wang out.
