Shao Jingmo did not say anything, which meant that he agreed. He kept his gaze on her, watching the expression on her face slowly change from very surprised to only slightly surprised.

It was indeed expected for Qiao Qiao. He did have someone he liked.

“Oh.” She actually didn’t look that calm. She just pretended to take her time with an “oh” to show that she knew. Right on the heels of that, she said, “It’s a good thing to have someone you like. 1 was originally worried that getting married because of our agreement would affect your relationship with the person you like.”

Shao Jingmo’s gaze stopped on Qiao Qiao and he said word by word, “It won’t affect her. She’s with me.’

So they’re together. Was this… an affair?!

As soon as this thought popped into her mind, Qiao Qiao quickly came to her senses. She and Shao Jingmo were getting married by agreement. When they registered their marriage, she had already made the request that no one could interfere with each other’s private lives.

In other words, even if Shao Jingmo had an affair, she had agreed in advance.

However, the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. Qiao Qiao’s face turned visibly ugly as she suddenly stood up.

Shao Jingmo asked gently, “What’s wrong?”

What’s wrong? Can’t you tell? I’m angry! Qiao Qiao realized that she had made her anger too obvious. Would Shao Jingmo suspect that she liked him? Bah! She didn’t like him. Other than being handsome, rich, and gentle, what was so good about him?!

Ahhh!! Why should she be angry and think of him well! You’re hopeless, Qiao Guigui!

“Nothing.” Qiao Qiao said nonchalantly, “l just ate a little too much and couldn’t digest it. I stood up and walked around.”

Shao Jingmo said, “Remember to eat digestive pills before dinner.”

Qiao Qiao said perfunctorily, “Got it.”

After lunch, Shao Jingmo left her office. Then, Qiao Qiao didn’t see Shao Jingmo again for the entire afternoon. Instead, she saw Song Yun.

When she first met Song Yun, Qiao Qiao didn’t feel a little panicked. This panic was because she had now taken over the position of Mrs. Shao, making Song Yun unable to show her face without an identity.

“Qiao… Qiao?” Song Yun called her name uncertainly.

At that moment, Qiao Qiao was following Dou Ying. Along the way, Dou Ying introduced Qiao Qiao to the management and took her to meet her colleagues from the same department. Qiao Qiao listened especially seriously and didn’t notice Song Yun walking over from the side. Until she heard someone call her.

Qiao Qiao only knew that this woman was the woman she had seen around Shao Jingmo this morning. She was not sure that she was Song Yun until Dou Ying officially introduced her. “Qiao Qiao, this is the director of the planning office, Song Yun.”

After confirming the other party’s identity from Dou Ying, Qiao maintained a professional smile. “Hello, Director Song.”

The smile on Song Yun’s face looked much more natural than the professional smile on Qiao Qiao’s face. “l heard President Qiao mention you. I heard that Secretary Dou is taking care of you for the time being. I saw you walking together just now. I guess you’re Qiao Qiao, right?”

Qiao Qiao forced a smile, wanting it to be more natural. “It’s me, but I’m just a new employee. I haven’t even seen the President. Why would President Qiao mention me?”

She guessed that Song Yun must know about her relationship with Shao

Jingmo. However, because this was a company, she naturally wouldn’t say it. She didn’t want Song Yun to find trouble with her in the future, so she simply said that she wasn’t familiar with Shao Jingmo. It all depended on Song Yun.

However, Song Yun’s expression was not surprised. She went past the previous topic and asked, “Where are you going?”

Dou Ying replied, “I’m bringing her to meet her colleagues from the same department.”

Song Yun said, “l remember that she has a separate office. Secretary Dou, just teach her useful practical things. She doesn’t have to maintain interpersonal relationships with other colleagues.”

Qiao Qiao chimed in at the right moment. “l think since I work here, it’s necessary to get to know my colleagues.”

Song Yun glanced at Qiao Qiao. “That’s good. I’ll go up first.” With that, Song Yun turned to leave.

After Song Yun left, Qiao Qiao immediately asked Dou Ying, “Is she opening gambit?”

Dou Ying raised her eyebrows. “You think so?” Qiao Qiao nodded.

Dou Ying shook her head. “I’m not sure.”

Qiao Qiao said, “Wily old fox.”

Dou Ying turned her face to the side and suppressed a smile. Qiao Qiao thought that Dou Ying didn’t want to talk to her, so she didn’t talk about anything other than work.

It was time to get off work.

Qiao Qiao stood obediently in a conspicuous place and waited for Shao Jingmo. At this moment, her colleagues from the company came out one after another. Those who had already seen Qiao Qiao would greet her, and Qiao Qiao would respond.

She waited for a while before she finally saw Shao Jingmo. She was about to go forward when she noticed that Song Yun was following him out. Qiao Qiao immediately suppressed her smile. She turned around, not wanting to see the scene of a perfect match.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Jingcheng standing behind her. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and said sourly, “You saw it too, right?”

Jingcheng was confused. “See what?”

Qiao Qiao pointed behind her. “Look at them. They’re so compatible.”

She thought Jingcheng would echo her, but he said, “They don’t necessarily match.’

Qiao Qiao grinned. “Really?”

Jingcheng pointed behind her. “Those are two men. I don’t think they match.”

Qiao Qiao looked back. It was really two male colleagues walking together, talking and laughing. She was speechless. The further back she looked, the more she saw Shao Jingmo and Song Yun standing there without leaving.

Song Yun was saying something, and Shao Jingmo was listening attentively. Qiao Qiao walked down the steps angrily. “Go and wait in the car!”

Jingcheng immediately followed. A few minutes later, Shao Jingmo walked to the car. Jingcheng, who had been standing guard outside the car, lowered his voice and said to Shao Jingmo, “Third Master, Miss seems to be jealous.”

Although Jingcheng looked like he was not scheming, he was actually very scheming.

However, Shao Jingmo did not take his words seriously. “She won’t be jealous. She’s just angry after waiting for too long.”

With that, Shao Jingmo was about to get into the car when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said, “Let’s not go home first. We’ll change our route to the mall.”

Jingcheng asked, “Should we clear the area in advance?” Shao Jingmo said, “No need. She likes lively places..”
