Chapter 682 - 692 Follow-up (4)
So she plans to start working at Louis’s company tomorrow.She already informed Louis this afternoon, and will report promptly tomorrow.
By the time Qiao Mo finished her tasks, it was nearly ten o’clock; she seemed to have become accustomed to sitting on the sofa waiting for him every day.
But as it approached eleven, she decided not to wait any longer.
She turned off the lights early and went to bed.
When Fu Nancheng returned, he was just on the second floor when he saw that the bedroom lights were already off.
He stopped for a moment, then quietly entered the bedroom, standing by the bed to look at the sleeping woman.
With some longing, he reached out to stroke her hair, and after a long while, gently planted a very soft kiss on her forehead.
Early the next morning.
Because she had to go to work, Qiao Mo woke up very early, but she was still a few minutes later than Fu Nancheng.
Seeing her start to pack up and change into a white suit, he sat at the dining table somewhat dazed.
Qiao Mo was still a bit late, walked to the table, picked up a sandwich, and headed downstairs, never once greeting him.
His heart ached, and he stood up saying, "Xiao Mo."
Qiao Mo paused slightly.
"Where are you going?" He looked at her back, a trace of unease in his eyes.
"To work."
He unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his coat and took a step forward, "I’ll drive you."
"No need."
Fu Nancheng didn’t argue with her, but he already walked ahead of her, directly having the driver prepare the car.
As Qiao Mo walked out the door, he was already standing in front of the car, holding the door open for her, the intention clear.
Qiao Mo glanced at him, didn’t refuse, and got into the car, sitting in the passenger seat.
Perhaps wanting more time alone with her, Fu Nancheng didn’t call the driver, instead preparing to drive her to work himself.
Qiao Mo lowered her head, took two bites of the sandwich in her hand, then set it aside, losing her appetite.
Only after she put the sandwich down did he start the car.
The car gradually got on the road, and the two remained silent, the silence carrying a hint of awkwardness.
After the car drove for more than twenty minutes, it slowly stopped by the roadside.
He opened the car door and got out, causing Qiao Mo to hesitate for a moment, watching him walk towards a breakfast shop, somewhat lost.
Retracting her gaze, her eyes were slightly moist.
He said to give him a little time, but who could tell him how long this time would be.
Qiao Mo lowered her eyes, quietly sitting in her seat.
Ten minutes later, Fu Nancheng returned with two breakfasts in his hands, seemingly worried she wouldn’t like them, so he bought quite a lot, knowing Qiao Mo was always picky about her food.
Receiving the large box of breakfast in her hands, Qiao Mo glanced at him, making no sound.
She opened the box and looked inside, there were a few small buns, a bowl of congee, as well as fried eggs, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and egg cakes.
It was quite a bit of rather light Chinese breakfast, enough for two men, and likely too much to finish.
Qiao Mo looked at it, but didn’t start eating.
She recalled that he seemed to have only eaten two bites in the morning before rushing to drive her to the company.
After a moment of silence, she finally said softly, "Do you want to eat some too?"
Fu Nancheng lightly pressed his lips together, looked at her lost in thought, his eyes slightly red.
This seemed to be the first time she had spoken to him since the last time.
Seeing him look over, Qiao Mo withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes again.
He spoke gently, "You eat first, I’ll eat afterward."
Qiao Mo nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and ate a little more.
She still ate very little, but even taking one or two bites of each thing was enough to ease his mind a little.
