Chapter 1849: Chapter 1869: Southern Tall Trees (175)
Qiao Qiao was initially nervous again, but hearing Qin Shaoling’s words, she gradually felt at ease.
The two were led out of the suite, into the elevator, all the way to the parking lot on the second underground level.
Half an hour later, thirty black Mercedes cars left the hotel.
Qiao Qiao and Qin Shaoling sat together.
Qin Shaoling couldn’t see Qiao Qiao, but she could hear her breathing, "We’ll be there in another hour."
Qiao Qiao replied, "Mm."
Qin Shaoling said, "You’re different from what I imagined."
Qiao Qiao responded, "You’re different from what I imagined too."
Qin Shaoling smiled and didn’t say anything further.
Qiao Qiao asked, "Do you plan on hiding this for a lifetime?"
Qin Shaoling let out a bitter laugh, "Probably so."
Qiao Qiao clearly heard the helplessness and unwillingness in her tone.
Indeed, there are too many times when we are powerless.
Qin Shaoling said, "You may not understand the military side. The military secrets from you this time are classified as Level 1 confidentiality, so having you leave my second brother was an act of desperation."
Qiao Qiao’s hand involuntarily touched her abdomen, "I know."
Thinking about going back to that ghastly place again! Qin Shaoling felt uneasy all over and didn’t speak further.
About an hour later, the car stopped, the door opened, and several people came over, leading Qiao Qiao and Qin Shaoling out of the car.
Qiao Qiao could hear Qin Shaoling’s breathing, forcing herself not to be nervous.
They walked for about half an hour before she heard the sound of a door opening, then closing.
A few minutes later, the black cloth covering her eyes was torn off.
Qiao Qiao opened her eyes to a sunlit, beautiful room.
It was indeed decorated very nicely, like a princess’s room.
Besides her, there were two men who had brought her in the room.
The man looked at Qiao Qiao, "Miss Qiao, please rest first."
Qiao Qiao nodded, watched them leave, and quietly walked to the balcony. Only then did she realize that this place was an island!
Obviously, she had been in a car the whole time, not on a boat. How did she get back to the island? Strange!
However, the scenery on the island is particularly nice!
But, alas, she wasn’t in the mood to enjoy the scenery now, not knowing where Qin Shaoling was or when she would come to find her.
It wasn’t until dinner time that someone took her to have dinner.
Arriving at the restaurant, she saw Qin Shaoling wearing a silk long gown and another mysterious man!
The man wore a silver Fox Demon mask on his face, sitting there with an aura of malevolence.
Qiao Qiao glanced at him, feeling the strong presence emanating from the man, wisely refrained from looking further, and sat there quietly waiting for the meal.
Ji Bo glanced at Qiao Qiao, "Still quite smart."
The man’s voice was particularly nice, yet not purely pleasant, carrying a power that deterred defiance.
Qiao Qiao sat quietly, not speaking.
Ji Bo looked at Qin Shaoling, "If you would always be as well-behaved as Qiao Qiao, it would be better, or I will break your legs."
The voice was gentle, yet it conveyed a hint of cruelty.
Qin Shaoling laughed softly, "Why don’t you just shoot me dead?"
"Not worth it."
Ji Bo responded lightly.
Qiao Qiao listened to their conversation, quietly speculating on their relationship.
Lost in thought, exquisite dishes appeared in front of her.
She came to herself, looking up to see Filipino servants shuttling between the kitchen and the restaurant.
In just a moment, the large dining table was filled with various delicious-looking and aromatic dishes and soups.
Ji Bo looked at Qiao Qiao, his voice mild, "Miss Qiao, feel free."
Qiao Qiao nodded, speaking softly, "Thank you."
