Chapter 576 Graduation (12)
She planned to design a light-colored qipao for her then, pairing it with a pearl necklace or a pair of jade earrings, just thinking about it felt breathtakingly beautiful.With work matters settled, Qiao Mo was in a good mood.
However, Fu Nancheng, worried about her being overworked, exchanged a few pleasantries with Xu Wan and Louis before insistently driving her home.
The atmosphere in the car was quite harmonious.
Qiao Mo turned her head and softly said, "Aren’t you going back to the company? Just let the driver take me home."
Fu Nancheng did not speak; in fact, there were indeed many things to deal with at the company that afternoon. After all, a few months ago there was the acquisition of the Shen family, and not long ago the downfall of the Chen family, plus Fu Zhiyuan constantly watching like a hawk, so he was actually very busy.
But strangely, just seeing this little thing in front of him, he couldn’t bring himself to leave.
But who would have thought, even though he couldn’t bear to leave her, she was calmly urging him to go, leaving Fu Nancheng a bit disheartened.
"Hey... what are you thinking? Do you still have work? How about we drop you off at the company first, and then I..."
Before she could finish, her lips were seized passionately; he leaned in, grasping her chin, lightly nibbling: "You little heartless..."
"Hmph... be gentle."
His large hand caressed her small face, speaking softly: "Flirting like that right in front of me, do you think being pregnant will grant you a death-free token."
Qiao Mo’s petite face flushed slightly: "I didn’t... I wasn’t flirting."
"Say you weren’t." His gaze darkened a bit. It seemed like the most troubled person with this pregnancy was still himself.
Tenderhearted...
Seeing him so close, Qiao Mo felt a bit embarrassed, holding a trophy between them, trying to push him away.
"Stop fooling around, are you going back to the company or not?"
"Not going."
"You’re not busy today?" Qiao Mo was a bit surprised.
"Going home first to deal with you." He straightened up and spoke slowly.
Qiao Mo dared not make a sound. Facing his suggestive eyes, she immediately turned her head to look out the window, but couldn’t help letting her mind wander.
Deal with her... how will he deal with her?
She’s pregnant now, can’t do that...
Not sure what came to mind, Qiao Mo gently clenched her small hands, pulling them back slightly.
Seeing her little gesture, his large hand covered her small hand, slowly saying: "You seem... very nervous."
"I’m not... why would I be nervous?"
Qiao Mo immediately withdrew her hand, her heart pounding rapidly.
...
After returning home, Fu Nancheng had someone prepare dinner, planning to have some video meetings in the study and handle some work over the phone after dinner, thus avoiding going to the company.
Qiao Mo was well-fed and slightly absent-minded on the sofa.
Not sure if it was due to the post-dinner blood sluggishness or just a side effect of pregnancy making her drowsy.
After taking a bath, she sat on the sofa, nodding off repeatedly, hardly catching anything from the movie she was supposed to watch.
Only after the movie finished did Qiao Mo rub her eyes, slightly clearing her head.
It was already eight o’clock...
She glanced toward the direction of the study, he seemed to still be inside having a meeting, looking quite busy.
Yet Qiao Mo couldn’t explain it; even if he wasn’t beside her, as long as he was at home, her mood inexplicably improved.
Picking up the remote, she switched through a few channels until a news broadcast caught her eye, leaving her momentarily stunned.
Clutching the remote a bit tighter, Qiao Mo watched the television screen, somewhat dazed.
