Chapter 222: Mr. Fu, Rest Assured (4)
After returning to school at noon, Qiao Mo began browsing men’s suits that had been popular in the last two years, starting to prepare for the second round of the qualifying competition.Until evening, her phone suddenly rang.
The name Fu Nancheng appeared clearly on the screen, and Qiao Mo was startled for a moment. She looked at her other roommates, then stood up and went to the balcony to answer the call.
"Mr. Fu?"
"Come downstairs."
The deep, cool voice was as domineering as ever.
Before Qiao Mo could speak, he had already hung up.
As she looked up, she saw a black Ferrari parked at the corner not far from the dormitory building.
Seeing this, Qiao Mo didn’t ask any more questions. She grabbed a coat and hurried downstairs.
...
Inside the car, Fu Nancheng watched Qiao Mo approaching slowly, feeling somewhat irritated.
He didn’t expect to run into her at the mall in the morning, and he had always been afraid she might misunderstand.
But after an entire afternoon, he realized that he was overthinking.
She didn’t care who he was with at all?
She was neither interested nor would she ask about it.
He lowered his gaze to conceal the hint of self-mockery in his eyes.
Indeed, she never loved him to begin with.
How could he expect those youthful feelings and naivety to make her love him?
After Qiao Mo opened the car door and got in, she quietly glanced at Fu Nancheng.
Didn’t he pretend not to know her this morning?
Why would he come to the school to find her now...
"Nancheng, why did you come over?"
He glanced at Qiao Mo indifferently, took a bag from the left side, and handed it to her.
Qiao Mo suspiciously opened it and found that it was the same bluish-gray gauze dress she had tried on at DG’s earlier in the day, stunning her for a moment.
"Why didn’t you buy it?" His dark eyes stared at her, speaking in a deep voice.
Qiao Mo remained silent. After encountering him and that woman, her mind had been in disarray, and she hadn’t paid much attention to the dress.
Plus, it was quite expensive, so she didn’t buy it.
It’s just that...
"Why... did you buy it?"
He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I bought it because you looked good in it."
Qiao Mo gazed at him in a daze, her ears inexplicably turning a little red.
After a long while, she avoided his gaze and softly said, "Mr. Fu, you really don’t need to buy things for me. You’ve already helped me a lot."
His eyes gradually turned cold, and he lightly pursed his thin lips: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Even knowing that if she cared, she wouldn’t go an entire afternoon without even a text message.
But at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a hint of expectation in his heart.
Expecting her to be jealous, to feel envy...
Or even if she simply asked, it would be enough.
Qiao Mo was taken aback, only feeling that his aura suddenly became cold, and the temperature in the car dropped by a few degrees.
Is there anything else to say?
Is there anything else to say...
Listening to this nonsensical question, Qiao Mo thought for a long time and finally said, "About what happened this morning, don’t worry, Mr. Fu. I won’t ask about things I shouldn’t, I didn’t see anything I shouldn’t, and I definitely won’t mention it to anyone..."
"Get out of the car."
Before she could finish speaking, he suddenly laughed softly and interrupted her with a cold voice.
Qiao Mo turned her head, only to see his eyes were ice-cold, with a hint of mockery and impatience in his expression.
"Nancheng..." Qiao Mo spoke softly, feeling that he seemed suddenly unhappy.
But wasn’t this what he wanted to bring up?
"Get out of the car!"
His tone was a bit harsher.
Seeing this, Qiao Mo withdrew her gaze and, without lingering, got out of the car and left.
Just as she stood steady, the car roared past her without the slightest hesitation...
Qiao Mo looked down at the dress in her hands and couldn’t help but lift her head to look at the car’s shadow again. Soon, it disappeared into the night...
