Chapter 1844: Chapter 1864: There Are Tall Trees in the South (170)
Qiao Qiao felt uneasy being watched by him, but forced herself to stay calm, "I’m just asking."
Qin Shaojin said, "My sister, Qin Shaoling."
Qiao Qiao stood there, trying hard to imitate a look of shock and surprise, "I even saw her during military training back then!"
Qin Shaojin looked at Qiao Qiao without saying much, it wasn’t convenient to talk, after all, he was on an undercover mission.
They were family members, so they would be informed.
Qiao Qiao softly said, "My condolences."
Qin Shaojin stood there, eyes deep, without a word.
Qiao Qiao glanced at him, it was a genuine sadness, the sorrow of losing a loved one, having gone through the same experience, she understood!
She whispered, "Sorry."
"It’s okay." Qin Shaojin said softly, looking down at the phone in his hand, "So what will you use these days?"
Qiao Qiao remembered she had a package to pick up at two o’clock, she glanced at the time, it was half-past one, "Can you wait half an hour? I have a package to collect."
Qin Shaojin nodded and handed the phone back to Qiao Qiao.
The two of them found a quiet place, sitting far apart.
Qin Shaojin smoked.
Qiao Qiao looked at her phone.
Several times she wanted to ask him about Qin Shaonan, but was afraid of feeling upset if she asked, so she stayed silent.
After smoking half a cigarette, Qin Shaojin’s elegant hand rested on his knee, he looked at Qiao Qiao, "Aren’t you going to ask about my second brother?"
Qiao Qiao then lifted her head to look at Qin Shaojin, "I don’t know how he’s... how he’s doing?"
She originally wanted to ask if he was well? But no matter how she questioned, it wasn’t appropriate; anyone would know that being isolated for investigation due to military leaks would not be easy, asking would just make her seem foolish.
Qin Shaojin looked at Qiao Qiao and saw the suppressed emotions hidden deep in her eyes.
What was she suppressing? What was she hiding?
Qiao Qiao met his gaze, feeling a kind of illusion of being seen through in one glance, she quickly turned her head, looking towards the other side.
She would never tell Qin Shaojin about the pregnancy.
If Qin Shaojin knew, then the Qin Family would know, and he would also find out.
She was afraid he would take everything on himself!
Recalling the information she looked up online, people who secretly took photos of fighter jets could get three to five years in prison, and that was for amateurs, not involving high-level secrets.
But he was involved with secrets probably much more serious, not just twenty years; if severe, he might face the death penalty!
Qin Shaojin watched Qiao Qiao and clearly observed her fear and anxiety.
Qiao Qiao sensed his gaze and didn’t dare to look at him.
The atmosphere remained bizarrely tense until her phone rang.
She answered it, hearing her package had arrived at the school gate, she softly asked, "Which gate?"
Hearing it was the east gate, Qiao Qiao stood up and walked towards the east gate.
Qin Shaojin glanced her way, got up, and followed.
Ten minutes later, they reached the east gate.
Qin Shaojin stood to the side, watching the delivery man find Qiao Qiao’s package among the pile and hand it to her.
While Qiao Qiao signed, Qin Shaojin glanced at the package and noticed no information from the sender, he softly asked, "What did you buy?"
Qiao Qiao signed her name, returned the pen to the delivery man, and turned back to look at Qin Shaojin, "Clothes."
Qin Shaojin stood there, lit a cigarette, and remained silent.
When the delivery man tore off the outermost label, he looked at Qiao Qiao, "Open it and check."
Qiao Qiao thought of the maternity clothes she had bought; the top would show nothing special, but the waistband of the pants was distinctive, obvious at first glance!
She looked up at Qin Shaojin, "I... I bought some small clothes, do you want to see too?"
