Qiao Qiao nodded and replied, “l know.”
Actually, Qiao Qiao realized that her mother didn’t look too happy. Could it be because she said that Little Uncle took her to work overtime that she came back so late? Before she could think too much, Mother Qiao came down the last step. ‘You only say that you know. Forget it, forget it. I can’t be bothered to talk to you. Go up and wash up early and sleep.”
Qiao Qiao replied obediently, “Got it.” She went upstairs first. Halfway to the corridor, she realized that Shao Jingmo was still downstairs. Shao Jingmo raised his chin at her, indicating for her to go up first. Qiao Qiao nodded and went up first.
Mother Qiao came over after pouring the water. When she saw Shao Jingmo standing there, she slowed down. “Nothing happened today, right?”
Shao Jingmo did not put on any airs in front of Mother Qiao and replied, “Nothing. We’re just working overtime.”
Mother Qiao nodded, then asked, “Has the company been busy recently?”

Mother Qiao’s lips curled into a smile. “Jingmo, you can’t say that. At the very least, Guigui can share some of your burden in the company. This is also what Dad wants to see the most.’
Shao Jingmo’s voice was cold. “I will definitely not let you down.”
Mother Qiao held the thermos and was about to go upstairs. When she walked past Shao Jingmo, she paused for a moment and looked sideways at him. “She hasn’t even lived her life clearly. How can she live the life of two people seriously?”
Shao Jingmo frowned slightly.
Mother Qiao paused for a moment and continued after a moment of silence, “Besides, Guigui has been used to being heartless since she was young. She always speaks and does things like a child, and her emotions are often too unstable, giving her father and me a headache. But you’re completely different. You’re a mature and steady person. In the future, the person who can be by your side must be a generous, sensible, and obedient girl.”
Shao Jingmo raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He replied casually, “Is that so?”
“That’s right.” Mother Qiao smiled. “As you know, no mother will think that her daughter is lousy, but she’s still young. She’s just a child.”
Shao Jingmo lowered his hand and echoed in a calm tone, “Mrs. Qiao is right. She’s insensible, young, and willful. We’re not compatible.”
These words were too sharp.
Mother Qiao’s expression darkened. “Rest early.” With that, Mother Qiao took the thermos and went upstairs.
Shao Jingmo raised his head slightly and watched Mother Qiao leave. There was a shadow in his eyes, hiding a cold shock. He didn’t go upstairs. Instead, he turned to the bar and grabbed a bottle of Western wine. He poured half a glass and drained it, then slammed it down on the bar.
But in the second before the bottom of the glass was about to hit the bar, he steadied his grip and finally placed the glass gently on the bar.
He couldn’t disturb her.
Just as he was about to pour a second glass of wine, a hand reached over and pressed down on the bottle in his hand. He didn’t even have to turn his head to know that his little girl had come down.
After Qiao Qiao pressed down on the bottle in Shao Jingmo’s hand, she quickly snatched it away and asked, “It’s such a good thing to drink. Why didn’t you call me along?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShao Jingmo pushed the glass in front of him away and said, “I’m not drinking anymore.”
Qiao Qiao smiled playfully. “You stopped drinking the moment 1 arrived?”
Shao Jingmo turned around and leaned his elbows on the bar counter. He looked at her with a smile. “Since my wife is here, I have to be more self-conscious.’
“Stop joking.” Qiao Qiao imitated his posture and rested her elbows on the bar. “I went to knock on your door just now and realized that you didn’t come up at all, so I came down to look for you. Then I saw that you’re actually drinking alone here. Are you unhappy? Tell me and make me happy.”
She was being sarcastic. She was deliberately teasing him, hoping to make him feel better. She would find a chance to ask him why he was drinking too much. However, Shao Jingmo did not give her a chance to ask. He held her hand. “I’m not drinking anymore. Go up and sleep.”
Qiao Qiao stubbornly refused to leave and chased after him. “Why can’t you tell me? Is it a business secret?”
Shao Jingmo was silent for a moment before answering her under her gaze, “I’m thinking about holding a wedding after settling the matter with the Bai family.”
Qiao Qiao looked unconvinced. “You’re drinking here just because you’re conflicted about this?”
“Why are you sure I’m drinking alone?” he asked with a smile.. “What if I’m enjoying this?”
