Capítulo 1569: Chapter 1569: Don’t Scare Your Sister-in-law (6)
When she walked out, the weather was bleak, and leaves fell from the branches, landing on Xia Chuqing’s shoulders.
Her eyes began to heat up, and she quietly wiped away her tears.
Halfway through, Xia Chuqing stopped in her tracks, tugging at Officer Wang’s sleeve and whispering, “Officer Wang, can I ask you about sothing?”
“I cannot disclose confidential matters, I’m afraid.”
Officer Wang looked at Xia Chuqing solemnly.
“Um… did President Xiao often co to the prison before?” Xia Chuqing asked.
“He has been here.”
Xia Chuqing blinked, puzzled. What did “has been here” an?
“How many tis has he been here? What did he co here for?”
“You can ask President Xiao directly. I think he treats you differently than others,” Officer Wang said with a smile.
“I… I’m afraid of him… I don’t dare to ask, that’s why I’m asking you.” Xia Chuqing admitted, her face still showing a timid expression.
“Ha.” Officer Wang laughed, “President Xiao is a good person; he just seems a bit serious. If you ask him, he won’t eat you.”
As they walked and talked, Officer Wang didn’t seem to have any intention of revealing more.
There was no choice; they had reached the gate, and Xia Chuqing couldn’t ask further.
Xiao Mo’s car was parked on the vacant lot outside the prison, and he was alone, leaning against the window smoking.
When Xia Chuqing ca out, she brushed away the stray locks beside her ear and glanced at Xiao Mo.
“Go back with President Xiao,” Officer Wang said.
“Alright.” Xia Chuqing had no choice but to walk toward Xiao Mo’s car.
Seeing her return, he extinguished the cigarette and smiled slightly.
Xia Chuqing skipped over, occasionally seeing Xiao Mo smile made the whole ti feel much warr.
However, he didn’t smile often.
“Did you see him?” Xiao Mo started the car.
“Yes.”
“Is your heart still aching?”
The car slowly drove out, heading from this quiet and empty area toward the city.
“It’s not as painful as it was at first.” Xia Chuqing admitted honestly.
At first, her heart felt like it was being twisted with a knife, but now, with the buffer of ti, it’s much better.
Xiao Mo didn’t ask more; he knew she wouldn’t be able to get over it anyti soon.
“President Xiao, thank you for bringing here,” Xia Chuqing still expressed her gratitude.
Even though this man often inexplicably loses his temper, and his words are sharp, his heart isn’t that dark.
“I said it was on the way.”
“Oh, then where are you going later?” Xia Chuqing asked.
“Later, I need to go to Lang Ge Electronics. I’ll drop you off by the roadside, and you can go ho by yourself.”
“Okay.” Xia Chuqing agreed.
Due to the long distance, they had been driving for a long ti, and the car was still in the desolate, remote outskirts.
Xia Chuqing chatted with him, “What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll cook when we get back.”
“Anything.”
“Oh, okay. President Xiao, honestly, is my cooking edible?”
“Barely edible.”
“I’m sorry for you; the aunt might return after the New Year, so please bear with it a little longer.”
“Hmm.”
Xia Chuqing didn’t know what expression Xiao Mo had on his face, maybe her dishes are really that bad?
“Do you have any plans for the New Year?” Xiao Mo casually asked.
“Go back to A City to see my mom and grandparents.” Xia Chuqing lowered her head.
As an unfilial daughter, she hadn’t been ho for several years.
So much had happened at ho, and she knew nothing about it.
“Do you want to take you ho?”
“Hm?” Xia Chuqing thought she misheard, widening her eyes, she quickly waved her hand, “No need, I can fly back on my own.”
“I ant that it’s on the way; I also have to go back. My ho isn’t far from A City. If you co with , I won’t be too tired driving back.”
“That far and you’re driving?”
“Yes.”
“Well, I’ll think about it.”
“I think you probably won’t be able to buy a plane ticket.” Xiao Mo said blandly.
“I’ll check when I get back…”
Xia Chuqing also felt that she probably wouldn’t be able to get a ticket, not just plane tickets, but probably not even standing tickets for a train.
It’s only about ten days until the New Year…
“As you like.” Xiao Mo didn’t insist, just leaving two words.
By the ti they drove out of the suburb, it was already afternoon.
Xia Chuqing looked at Xiao Mo with concern, “President Xiao, are you hungry? Why not eat sothing before working?”
“I’m not hungry, just make sure you eat.”
Xia Chuqing’s heart felt warm, Xiao Mo was rare warm like this, and his tone was very gentle.
“Make sure you eat on ti; otherwise, it’ll harm your stomach.” Xia Chuqing advised.
“Since when are you caring for people?” Xiao Mo turned to look at her, with a smile of indeterminate aning in his eyes.
“I was just casually asking, if you get hungry, no one will take to see my dad next ti.”
Xiao Mo didn’t retort, just curved his lips with a smile.
At an intersection, Xiao Mo dropped Xia Chuqing off.
Afterward, Xia Chuqing took a bus back to the villa.
Xiao Mo had no choice but to take a detour in the city, since he himself had lied and said it was on the way…
Xia Chuqing was in a good mood today; she was very grateful to Xiao Mo, so she planned to cook a few more dishes for dinner.
As soon as she returned, she began to busy herself, completely absorbed in her work.
Around three in the afternoon, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Huh, would there be people coming to Xiao Mo’s place?
Xia Chuqing curiously went to open the door, and as soon as it opened, she heard the barking of a puppy!
“Ah…” Xia Chuqing was especially surprised; the puppy was so cute!
The store attendant delivering the dog smiled, “Are you Mrs. Xiao?”
Hm? Mrs. Xiao? She was not…
“Hello, you are…” Xia Chuqing couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s like this, Mr. Xiao ordered a puppy at our store, saying it’s a New Year gift for Mrs. Xiao.” The attendant smiled brightly.
The puppy in his arms poked its head out, very lively and active, its big eyes blinking at Xia Chuqing.
The puppy was so adorable it lted Xia Chuqing’s heart.
Even though she wasn’t Mrs. Xiao, there was no one else here, probably the attendant mistook her for Xiao Mo’s wife.
“Was it Xiao Mo, Mr. Xiao who ordered it?” Xia Chuqing confird again.
“Yes, it was Mr. Xiao Mo,” the attendant looked at the order again, “It also has Mr. Xiao’s phone number, you can see.”
Xia Chuqing looked and indeed, it was Xiao Mo’s phone number.
“Woof woof…” The puppy looked eagerly at Xia Chuqing, wanting to jump out of the attendant’s arms.
Seeing the puppy so cute, Xia Chuqing couldn’t resist wanting to take it ho, so she nodded, “Okay, thank you. Has it been paid for?”
“Mr. Xiao paid for it and also bought a lot of dog food.” The attendant smiled.
“Thank you very much, thank you.”
Xia Chuqing was delighted. Last ti she saw a puppy on the roadside and didn’t buy it, she didn’t expect Xiao Mo to be thoughtful enough to buy her one.
This puppy’s small head, curly fur, big watery eyes, really made her like it even more.
“You’re so well-behaved and cute.” Xia Chuqing patted its fur.
