Chapter 327 Between Love and Not Love (4)
After Qiao Mo slipped into the bathroom outside, she was lost in thought for a few minutes before gradually calming down.She looked at herself in the mirror, then lowered her eyes and took off the dress that had been pulled into disarray.
She couldn’t quite explain why.
She just felt that he was particularly frightening earlier, indescribably terrifying.
She took a shower, but Qiao Mo was somewhat distracted.
Calming down gradually, she couldn’t help but wonder if her reaction had been too extreme.
Thinking back on it now, it seemed he hadn’t intended to humiliate her, perhaps she had just misunderstood...
More than half an hour later, Qiao Mo was wiping her hair in front of the bathroom mirror. But her mind was still a mess, unable to stop thinking about his reaction earlier.
Lingering hesitantly, she finally emerged from the bathroom and hesitated at the bedroom door.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally raised her hand and gently pushed the door open. She didn’t quite know how to resolve the previous awkwardness.
The door opened quietly, without making a sound.
But to Qiao Mo’s surprise, the bedroom was empty.
The window facing the sea was half open, the slightly cool sea breeze causing the curtains to flutter wildly.
Yet the entire bedroom was extremely quiet, with no sign of him on the sofa, the bed, or in the bathroom.
Qiao Mo was slightly stunned, then exited the bedroom and turned around, wandering in the living room, but she still didn’t see any sign of him...
Finally, she stopped in front of the study room door.
She didn’t dare to knock, nor did she enter on her own.
She leaned in a bit closer and heard that he seemed to be on the phone, which finally reassured her a little.
However, the soundproofing was good because the door was tightly closed, she couldn’t clearly hear what he was saying.
Anyway, she had no intention of eavesdropping, and she turned back to the bedroom.
...
Inside the study room, Fu Nancheng had a grim expression as he talked on the phone.
"I want to know the specific time and place of Qiao Mo’s accident, as well as her medical and surgery records!"
"Yes, young master."
"And also the orphanage she was at before and her previous name!"
"Yes."
After giving the cold orders, he slowly hung up the phone, but his expression remained somewhat grave, with a rare hint of irritation in his eyes.
Why didn’t she have that birthmark on her body?
...
Qiao Mo spent a long time lost in thought alone in the room, curled up on the sofa hugging a cushion while watching a movie.
Every now and then, she would look up toward the direction of the bedroom door.
But as eleven o’clock approached, there was still no movement from him whatsoever.
Which inevitably made her feel a bit disappointed.
She wasn’t even upset yet, was she? Why wouldn’t he say anything to her...
She...she was just a little frightened by him earlier.
She had never seen him so serious before.
What was it for?
What was wrong with her back?
She hadn’t focused at all on what was happening in the movie, instead feeling only a growing irritation at the various action scenes.
Finally, she realized it was already half-past eleven at night.
Qiao Mo couldn’t help but put down the cushion and once again left the bedroom, intending to see what he was up to.
But after stepping out, she discovered that the living room was empty, and the doors to the guest room and the study were open, also showing no sign of him.
After wandering upstairs, she found the entire second floor empty except for herself.
Qiao Mo couldn’t help but go downstairs to search again.
Nanny Wang quickly came up to greet her: "Miss Qiao, is there anything you need?"
"Oh, nothing..." Qiao Mo glanced at the first-floor living room again before finally retracting her gaze and asked Nanny Wang, "Nanny Wang, is Mr. Fu here?"
"Sir just went out."
Qiao Mo was taken aback, went out?
She truly hadn’t heard a single noise... nor did she expect him to leave so quietly...
