Chapter 328 Between Love and Not Love (5)
"When did he leave?"Nanny Wang checked the time and replied again, "It’s probably been about two hours already."
Qiao Mo felt a little disappointed inside, but still thanked Nanny Wang, "Okay, thank you, Nanny Wang."
After speaking, Qiao Mo then turned and went upstairs.
Her pink little lips involuntarily pouted slightly, seemingly a bit dissatisfied.
If it was two hours ago, then it was probably around nine thirty.
Why did he suddenly leave without a word...
Back in the bedroom, she didn’t feel like watching a movie anymore.
She took out her phone, fiddled with it for a while, and couldn’t help but open his number, tempted several times to dial it to ask where he’d gone, and whether he was coming back.
But after hesitating for a long time, Qiao Mo ultimately tossed the phone aside, and started to roll around on the bed.
Really...
Why on earth does she want to call him?
Shouldn’t the one who’s angrier be herself...
She tossed and turned in bed for a long time until finally, around one in the morning, she gradually fell asleep.
But she didn’t know if it was because he wasn’t there.
That night, her sleep was especially restless.
Around six in the morning, Qiao Mo was woken by the cold. She groggily got up, intending to raise the room’s temperature a bit.
But when she looked at the temperature, she paused again.
Twenty-three degrees, that’s right.
Clearly, for so many years, she had been used to this temperature...
Why does she feel cold now?
Is it because she’s gotten used to his embrace?
She turned and looked at the side next to her; he hadn’t come back all night. Dropping her head, she inexplicably felt a bit listless.
Since the competition just ended, there wasn’t much work to be done. So for three whole days, Qiao Mo stayed at home.
But to her disappointment, she didn’t see any sign of Fu Nancheng for these three days.
It was not until the fourth day that Qiao Mo finished her breakfast.
Sitting on the sofa, listlessly flipping through a fashion magazine.
A sound of footsteps slowly approached, steady and strong.
She immediately straightened up from the sofa, looking toward the direction of the stairs.
A second later, a handsome face came into her view.
Qiao Mo was a bit nervous, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and just stared at him in a daze without speaking.
Fu Nancheng also slowly stopped at the top of the stairs, similarly quietly looking at the woman on the sofa.
There was a slight pain in his heart...
In these past few days, he had sent people to investigate the time when she had her accident.
They had agreed to meet on the eighth, but her accident happened on the twelfth of that month...
Even the hospital’s medical record was on the twelfth.
He once thought that something happened to her before the eighth, which was why she couldn’t meet up in time.
But if she fell from a terrace at a party on the twelfth, then why didn’t she show up on the eighth? Why was she still attending a party on the twelfth?
Besides that... he carefully sent someone to check her files.
Indeed, she was adopted by Qiao Dehou from the orphanage, but the records mentioned were not from Chaoyang Orphanage where he took her that day, but from the likewise now-demolished Red Star Orphanage in the city.
And there was that birthmark... why didn’t she have it?
His eyes reddened a bit, and even from a distance, Qiao Mo could detect the bloodshot in his eyes.
There were two dark grey shadows under his eyelids, seemingly especially weary.
Qiao Mo inexplicably felt a bit heartbroken... yet also felt that his gaze toward her... seemed unusually complicated.
After a long while, Fu Nancheng withdrew his gaze, his expression very calm.
He went upstairs directly into the study, as if he hadn’t even seen her.
Qiao Mo was taken aback, looking at the empty direction of the stairs, her body went limp, and she didn’t come back to her senses for a long time.
