Chapter 684 - 694 Follow-up (6)
Qiao Mo let out a soft laugh, unsure if she was laughing at the answer or at herself: "Did you two sleep together?"Qiao Mo spoke bluntly, yet clearly saw a trace of anger in his eyes, which quickly turned into heartache.
"Say it again." Fu Nancheng’s thin lips trembled lightly, his chest nearly exploding.
Qiao Mo’s eyes were also red, yet she pulled her lips into a smile: "I’m asking if you two slept together?"
"Is that how you see me?" He roared, his large hand gripping her shoulder painfully, the anger and pain inside him nearly consuming her.
Qiao Mo felt dizzy from his shaking, yet was rendered speechless by his questioning.
"Speak!" He demanded harshly, his voice so cold it sent a shiver down Qiao Mo’s spine.
She avoided his gaze, turned her head to look outside the car window, gently biting her lip.
Seeing her silence, he finally calmed down a bit, releasing her somewhat weakly.
As soon as he let go, Qiao Mo opened the car door without looking back, walking quickly without looking at him once.
Fu Nancheng’s eyes were bloodshot, with a loud ’bang’, he punched the steering wheel heavily, his gaze frighteningly dark.
Qiao Mo had no idea how she made it upstairs, especially being her first day at work, going up and down in the elevator with an endless stream of people coming and going, only to suddenly realize she had even forgotten which floor the office was on.
Inside the elevator, quite a few people were discreetly sizing her up, considering the aftermath of the wedding hadn’t faded yet.
Even though not many discussed it before, now seeing Qiao Mo appear, they couldn’t help but whisper about it.
But Qiao Mo had no mood to deal with these things; she stood alone in a white suit at the back row of the elevator, eyes red, losing herself in thoughts of his earlier words.
Should she not have doubted him?
Should she have trusted him...
But as a woman, she understood very well that the bent pin at the back of the earring only dropped off due to getting snagged by clothes.
Before long, her phone rang, snapping her back to reality; it was Louis calling.
"Xiao Mo." Louis spoke warmly.
"Ah, I’m here. But I don’t know which floor."
"It’s on the seventeenth floor; I’m waiting for you at the elevator on the seventeenth floor."
"Okay, I’ll be there soon."
Qiao Mo mustered up her energy, waited a while, then walked out of the elevator.
Louis immediately approached her: "I’ve heard about the wedding, it was really unexpected that Fu Nancheng could be so unreliable; it’s truly infuriating."
Qiao Mo smiled lightly, not wanting to bring up the matter again.
Louis led her towards the office while speaking warmly: "My mom and I were going to attend your wedding that day, but just as we were about to leave, my mom suddenly fainted, so I took her to the hospital, which is why we couldn’t make it to your wedding. I meant to tell you this, but I heard about what happened that day and worried you, so I never mentioned it."
"Aunt Xu fainted? How is she now?" Qiao Mo asked, a bit anxious.
"Don’t worry, don’t worry, she’s fine now. She was discharged yesterday. She wanted to come see you, but when she heard you were starting work today, she said she’d come to the company this afternoon to see you, and asked me to show you around first to get acquainted."
Qiao Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief, though she hadn’t known Aunt Xu for long, she had a great impression of her, and found her very close during their interactions. She really liked her.
"And you? How are things with Fu Nancheng? Did he give you an explanation, have you two made up?"
Hearing this, Qiao Mo gently shook her head: "Not yet."
