Chapter 1184: Chapter 1197: Assault (3)
Xu Yuan lay there with her eyes closed, her voice calm and unremarkable as she spoke.
Xiaoying’s heart was pounding. She glanced at Xu Yuan under the moonlight shining through the window and said, "Got it," and then lay there without daring to make a sound.
Xu Yuan lay there with her eyes closed, listening. It was clear Xiaoying was not asleep.
She lay still.
Until dawn, Xiaoying didn’t make any move.
Seeing Xiaoying walk to Qin Huan’s bedroom, she followed over.
Qin Huan was holding a phone, sending a text, "Qiao Qiao, are you really planning to come back?"
"Mm."
Qiao Qiao glanced at Nini. If possible, she would prefer never to return to Hong Kong in her life, but—
Her gaze dulled as she looked away, not daring to think further.
Anyway, she had to go back now!
"Nini, come here."
Nini walked over to Qiao Qiao, gave her a kiss, and looked at Qiao Qiao with innocent, big, glass-like eyes, "Mom, when are you coming back?"
Qiao Qiao picked Nini up, kissed her on the cheek, "Very soon."
Nini bit her little lip, looking at Qiao Qiao, without speaking.
Very soon?
She says very soon every time, but then leaves for a year and doesn’t come back! Is mom leaving and not returning?
Qiao Qiao pinched Nini’s little braid, "Are you upset?"
Nini said nothing, holding her stuffed doll tightly, grasping it repeatedly.
Being upset is written all over her face, it’s so obvious, mom, do you even need to ask? Seriously, how can you have such big eyes and not see that!
Qiao Qiao gave Nini another kiss, "Good girl."
She wanted to say that this time mom will keep her word, but—
The words caught in her throat, even she wasn’t sure, how could she promise Nini?
Nini looked at Qiao Qiao, unable to do anything while being unhappy, mom has to leave, just like the sun will rise again tomorrow!
She perked up and smiled, "Alright, then you should go and return early. Don’t look so glum, Miss Qiao Qiao, otherwise, you’ll never get married! I’m still waiting for you to find me a handsome daddy."
Qiao Qiao picked up Nini, hugging her tightly, "Okay, this time mom will bring back a handsome guy just for you, how about that?"
Nini freed one of her chubby little hands and offered a high five to Qiao Qiao, "It’s a deal."
Qiao Qiao said, "It’s a deal."
Nini thought about mom’s business, "Mom, will we still have a business later?"
Qiao Qiao was about to speak when she saw a bunch of messages on WeChat, opening them—
Qin Huan, "Qiao Qiao, Hong Kong is very chaotic right now, you should wait a while before coming back."
"Are you there?"
"Qiao Qiao?"
"It’s really unsafe, both the Qin Family and the Huo Family are involved, can’t go into details here."
Qiao Qiao looked at it, her gaze lingered on the words Qin Family for a long time, staring in a daze.
Nini glanced at Qiao Qiao, pouted, leaned over, and peeked at the phone. There was nothing there, just a sentence. Some words she knew, others she didn’t yet.
But she recognized the word Qin!
Because it was in her diary, is mom thinking about that man named Qin Shaonan again?
Sigh, she should have gotten this woman married off sooner, to prevent her from always pining over her ex! One breakup, and it’s lasted this long.
Qiao Qiao snapped back to reality and raised her head, seeing a pair of eyes inquisitively watching her.
If it’s unsafe, so be it, she couldn’t wait any longer, she had to go back now!
...
Qin Huan waited a long time, not seeing Qiao Qiao’s reply, getting worried. Qiao Qiao coming back at this time was really too dangerous!
Seeing Xiaoying there, she said nothing.
After Xiaoying left, she looked at Huo Jinnan, "Qiao Qiao is coming back."
