Chapter 618: Turmoil (14)
Just as she was hesitating, he had already dragged her through security.Qiao Mo’s mind was a bit dazed, led directly onto the plane by him. It wasn’t until the seatbelt was fastened that Qiao Mo regained her senses: "Weren’t we supposed to fly at three o’clock?"
"I lied to you," he admitted openly.
"Lied... lied to me... why did you lie to me? But my things are still there..."
Seeing her looking nervous and confused, he chuckled, unable to tease her further: "We’ll be back tonight, no need to bring things."
"Ah... ah?" Qiao Mo’s eyes widened, now completely bewildered.
"To... tonight."
"Yeah, not going back home, taking you to Rome."
"Really?" Qiao Mo’s eyes lit up instantly.
"Yeah, really."
"You jerk, you just lied to me earlier!" Qiao Mo was a bit annoyed, this bastard made her cry again.
She really thought he had left without any reluctance, felt so sad that she cried, not expecting he was deceiving her.
He gently pulled her into his arms, and kissed her forehead: "We’ll be in Rome in an hour, I’ll bring you back by six, and then I’ll leave. You better not cry."
"Yeah!" Qiao Mo nodded vigorously, her heart filled anew with a thick sense of joy.
But why was he taking her to Rome, given that time was already tight?
However, as long as she was with him, it didn’t matter where they went.
Qiao Mo dozed a little on the plane, and soon felt they had arrived.
Fu Nancheng had obviously arranged the itinerary completely. After getting off the plane, a driver came to pick them up, and the car drove through the streets of Rome. Qiao Mo curiously pressed against the window, frantically absorbing the art and cultural atmosphere, like a sponge.
Before long, the car slowly came to a stop.
Fu Nancheng got off first and then opened the car door for her: "Be careful."
As soon as he appeared, many women nearby turned to look, large eyes filled with amazement and admiration, some even openly flirting.
Qiao Mo was somewhat displeased, immediately grabbing his big hand, asserting her claim.
He chuckled, in a good mood, leading the way directly.
"Where is this?"
"This is the Trevi Fountain." Fu Nancheng led her to a passageway, but it was narrow and there were many people, so they needed to queue.
"Trevi Fountain?" Qiao Mo asked softly.
"Yeah, you can start thinking of any wishes."
Saying this, Qiao Mo immediately began contemplating seriously.
Wishes... there seem to be quite a few.
She hoped that Qiao Dehou would wake up soon, hoped Xiao Xuan could always be healthy and happy, hoped... her mother could find her happiness again, and hoped... Qiao Yun could recover soon.
Of course, she also hoped to be with this man by her side forever, and have two lively little monkeys with him.
Hmm... the wishes really are a bit many.
"There are a lot of people making wishes here?" Qiao Mo tiptoed, looking ahead.
"Yeah, the Trevi Fountain is the largest and most famous fountain in Rome. It is also the temple of the Roman Sea God Neptune. The name Trevi means three roads because there are three roads extending from the fountain. It became known worldwide after appearing in the movie ’Roman Holiday’." Fu Nancheng slowly explained to Qiao Mo patiently. "The wishing pool symbolizes strength and also symbolizes love. It is said that Romans have a beautiful legend: if you turn your back to the fountain and throw a coin over your shoulder into the pool, you will have the chance to visit Rome again. And if couples throw coins into the pool together, their love will be eternal," Fu Nancheng explained in a low voice.
