Chapter 1594: Chapter 1594 Every Mont with You (5)
Mom didn’t hear, and continued, “No one is bullying you at the company, right? What are your plans for the future?”
“No one bullies . Shen’s is a large corporation. It’s not so easy to get bullied there,” Xia Chuqing replied. “I plan to stay there for another year and a half, and after that, I’ll return to A City with Dad.”
“You decide for yourself; I can’t give you much advice. No matter what, gaining more work experience is always good. Your dad’s situation may have affected you, but don’t give up.”
“I won’t. I’m very motivated at work now.”
“That’s good.” Mom sighed. “Back then, all your dad’s friends stayed away, even Uncle Song doesn’t associate much with our family now. People are cold. Don’t dwell on the past.”
“Mom, Heng-ge treats quite well.”
“Hmm.” Mom didn’t say much, only that things can’t go back to how they were.
Xia Chuqing chatted with her mother in the kitchen while her grandparents talked in the living room.
That day, Xiao Mo didn’t stay long at the Xia Family’s place. After resting, he planned to head ho.
He left Guai Guai with Xia Chuqing, planning for her to bring Guai Guai back after the holidays.
When Xiao Mo was about to leave, Xia Chuqing escorted him to the door, and Guai Guai reluctantly nibbled on Xiao Mo’s pants.
Xia Chuqing, who was much shorter than Xiao Mo, had to look up to talk to him.
“Aren’t you staying for dinner at my place?” Xia Chuqing asked.
“Next ti, there’s plenty of opportunities,” Xiao Mo smiled, his large hand unconsciously wanting to pat her head.
However, fearing her family might see, Xia Chuqing dodged.
“Who says there are plenty of opportunities? Maybe there won’t be any in the future,” Xia Chuqing said lightly, bowing her head slightly.
As long as ti keeps moving, anything is possible.
Perhaps, upon waking up one day, he’d realize he’s already tired of her.
“Wait for at ho on the fifth day of the New Year, I’ll co to pick you up and take you back to C City,” Xiao Mo looked at her.
For so reason, her evasive gaze irritated him.
“You can’t refuse,” Xiao Mo added.
He could tell she wanted to refuse.
Hearing Xiao Mo’s words, Xia Chuqing thought it over and decided not to refuse. Going back together might be a good idea.
She looked at him and asked, “Xiao Mo, did you deliberately encourage to apply to Shen’s? And intentionally say the secretary’s departnt had a high salary?”
“Yes, is there a problem?”
Xia Chuqing was stunned. She didn’t expect Xiao Mo to admit it so openly.
“Uh… no problem.” Xia Chuqing didn’t see any issue with it.
“Have a happy New Year at ho and work diligently when you return. Try to avoid contacting Song Heng too much,” Xiao Mo warned.
“Heng-ge and I are friends; we’ve been friends for many years.”
“And what about us? What are we?” Xiao Mo retorted.
Xia Chuqing didn’t know how to answer him. For many things, she wasn’t confident enough to give him a clear answer.
“I’ll give you a deadline: tell on the fifth day,” Xiao Mo looked into her eyes.
“…” Xia Chuqing didn’t speak, but she thought she could probably give him an answer by the fifth day.
Many things can’t be figured out in one day, but in five days, surely one can.
“I’m leaving now, take care of yourself, and don’t catch a cold,” Xiao Mo instructed, and even adjusted her coat collar.
The action was quite intimate, and though Xia Chuqing wanted to avoid it, Xiao Mo didn’t let her evade.
“Drive safely,” Xia Chuqing said softly.
“Hmm.”
Xiao Mo didn’t linger any longer, got into the car, and started the engine.
Xia Chuqing watched him leave, standing by the door, feeling inexplicably reluctant to go back inside.
Actually, she knew deep down she’d already known the answer, but even after more than two years, she still liked him.
It’s just that she’d been disappointed once and was afraid to be disappointed a second ti…
“Chuqing!” Mom called out.
It wasn’t until then that Xia Chuqing returned to her senses, withdrew her gaze, and turned to walk back inside.
“Mom.”
“Mr. Xiao has left?”
“Yes, he went ho.”
“He even brought you back on New Year’s Day; you should thank him properly. By the way, do you have feelings for Mr. Xiao?” Mom asked directly.
Just now, seeing them talk at the door for so long, it seed like they were reluctant to part.
“No, he has soone he likes,” Xia Chuqing denied.
“Sigh, for soone like Mr. Xiao, there must be many admirers. Judging by his mannerisms and upbringing, his family background must be pretty good,” Mom said.
“Yes, his family runs a company,” Xia Chuqing replied straightforwardly.
She’d known this for a long ti.
If her dad were still the mayor, they could be considered well-matched, but now, she can’t match up to him anymore.
If she’d known about her family’s troubles two years ago, she would’ve never had the confidence or courage to confess to Xiao Mo.
“Is Mr. Xiao’s ho nearby?” Mom asked with concern while walking ho with Xia Chuqing.
“Not far, it’s in Qingyuan City next to A City.”
Mom is not soone who never steps outside. Even when she was the mayor’s wife, she often helped Xia Yongfang handle various matters.
There are a few companies run by people with the surna Xiao in Qingyuan City, but it’s just that one.
Given their current circumstances, they can’t climb up to the Xiao Family.
Mom could see the disappointnt in Xia Chuqing’s eyes; as soone who had been through it, she understood well.
Mom didn’t ask further and walked ho with Xia Chuqing.
Guai Guai remained cheerful. It’s just that with Xiao Mo gone, it seed a bit down.
From Xia Chuqing’s house to his own was just an hour’s drive. Xiao Mo got ho by the afternoon.
Xiao Mo’s parents were especially happy to see their son return.
Xiao Father glanced into Xiao Mo’s car, snorted discontentedly, and was about to head inside.
“Old man, why are you throwing a childish tantrum again? Co and help our son with his luggage,” Xiao Mother cheerfully remarked.
“He doesn’t have hands to carry it himself, huh?” Xiao Father replied grumpily.
Xiao Mother obviously understood. Xiao Mo didn’t bring a girlfriend back ho. Last night’s phone call must’ve been a tease for his dad!
Xiao Mother took the luggage out from the trunk for Xiao Mo and handed it to the servant.
“Dad, Mom, why do you look so unhappy when I co ho?” Xiao Mo smiled.
“Who’s unhappy? Didn’t I show enough enthusiasm?” Xiao Mother laughed.
Xiao Mo glanced at his dad, “It looks like so people aren’t too happy.”
“Of course, I’m not happy. Didn’t I tell you? Without a girlfriend, don’t bother coming back. Who wants to see you? I’ve seen you for over thirty years,” Xiao Father grunted.
“I want to see him!” Xiao Mother countered him, patting her son’s shoulder. “My son is so handso; I never get tired of looking. Thirty years, or even another thirty, won’t be enough!”
“You!” Xiao Father couldn’t help but blow his beard and glare at Xiao Mother. Really, always undermining him.
