Chapter 398

Li Chengyao got out of the car and opened the door for Qiao Si himself.

Qiao Si was a little embarrassed. After getting off the car, she said gratefully, "Mr. Li, thank you for sending me back tonight."

"You're welcome." Li Chengyao always spoke just right, so that Qiao Si wouldn't feel any discomfort.

Qiao Si nodded, "Then...thank you, I'll go back first."

"Um."

Turning around, Qiao Si walked towards the Qiao family's castle villa.

Li Chengyao looked at Qiao Si's back for a long time before leaving.

…

"Miss……"

The servants of the Qiao family were very happy to see her and immediately embraced her.

Qiao Si faced them with a slight smile, and had to admit that family was always the best.

Several servants were busy serving tea and water to Qiao Si, but Qiao Si sat quietly on the sofa in the hall, waiting for someone.

One of the servants asked, "Miss, will you stay here tonight?"

Joss shook her head, "No, I'll go back to the apartment later."

The servant was disappointed, "Miss, why do you want to move out? Without you at home, the house has always been deserted."

"I hope to go outside and exercise."

"But I heard from my mother that you suffered a lot..."

"fine."

While the servant and Joss were chatting, the light from two cars shone into the villa.

Knowing that he had returned, Qiao Si put down the coffee she was drinking and stood up.

Qiao Che walked in from outside and was surprised to see Qiao Si already waiting at home.

Seeing Qiao Si staring at Qiao Che, the servants became angry and hurriedly retreated.

"What's wrong? Looking at me like this?" Qiao Che walked to the second floor without stopping to talk to her.

Qiao Si stepped forward and blocked Qiao Che's steps.

Qiao Che's dark eyes were introverted, and his indifference was replaced by a hint of depth.

"You said you asked me to accompany you to the banquet to help your family negotiate business, but you kept me aside the whole time. What's the point of asking me to go to the banquet?" Qiao Si glared at him hard, feeling aggrieved.

It's hard to control your temper in front of him.

Qiao Che narrowed his narrow black eyes slightly, "I thought you were already very familiar with the future partners of the Qiao family."

Qiao Si was stunned, "What kind of familiarity?"

"Li Chengyao, the future partner of Qiaojia Winery."

Qiao Si's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this, "You mean Mr. Li?"

"Didn't he tell you when we danced together?"

Dance together...

It turned out that he saw her dancing with Li Chengyao.

Qiao Che passed her and continued upstairs.

Qiao Si froze on the spot for a few seconds, and then she caught up with him and found that he had already walked into the room.

When she was about to enter the room, she suddenly stopped in front of his door.

In fact, this room was not his, but hers. Unexpectedly, after she moved out, he would directly occupy her room.

He didn't know how he could know that she was stopping in front of the door when he was loosening his tie with his back to her. He said, "Why, you don't dare to come in?"

Qiao Si bit her lip.

Qiao Che had turned around and looked at her with a chuckle.

She saw that two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his strong muscles. Her face couldn't help but blush slightly, and then she looked away. "You said that Li Chengyao is a joint venturer of our winery. I want to know who he is.

What status?"

"Seventy percent of the owners of high-end hotels in France. Their hotel properties are spread all over the world. They are the 32nd on the Forbes wealth list. He is 33 years old and unmarried."

Qiao Si was stunned.

Qiao Che walked up to Qiao Si and touched her head, "Now do you know why I asked him to be your partner?"

Joss hasn't come back to her senses yet.

Qiao Che smiled lightly, "Because he can bring unlimited benefits to the Qiao family."

Qiao Si lowered her head and said, "So you arranged for me to come tonight because you want me to get to know him."

"Of course, women will always play a dominant role in communication... Besides, he seems to be quite interested in you." Qiao Che turned around and walked towards the back of the room.

"I'm not a social butterfly." After saying this, Qiao Si turned around.

She felt angry for no reason, which made her feel very uncomfortable at the moment.

"Wait." Qiao Che suddenly called her.

"What to do?" She stopped walking and turned her back to the room.

He walked out of the room and came to her, holding a red square jewelry box in his hand.

She didn't want to look at him and turned her face aside.

"You women should have similar visions. You can see if this bracelet is suitable for a first date."

Qiao Si suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the box in his hand, "A date? You...which woman are you going to date?"

Qiao Che only said a faint "Yeah".

Joss suddenly remembered that he was particularly close to a woman tonight, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is it the older woman at the banquet?"

Qiao Che frowned and said, "How old is she? She is only twenty-seven years old."

"That's bigger than me."

"Of course, you are still a child."

"You are the child..."

Qiao Che smiled and shook his head, "You will never grow up."

"It doesn't matter whether I grow up or not..." After that, he grabbed the jewelry box from Qiao Che's hand and took out the bracelet inside.

This is a platinum bracelet with a very simple and elegant design. The most expensive thing is the row of red diamonds inlaid on it.

The bracelet is very beautiful and suitable for giving as a gift.

Qiao Si put the bracelet back into the box and asked, "Aren't you obsessed with Qu Ranran? Why do you still think of dating other women?"

Qiao Che said, "Liking a woman and marrying a woman are two different things... Marriage is a decision that every mature man needs to make when he meets the one he thinks is right."

Qiao Si didn't expect that Qiao Che would mention the word "marriage" to her. She spat out in disbelief, "Are you planning to get married?"

Qiao Che refused to deny it.

Qiao Si's thin body trembled obviously, "But you just met her tonight."

"When you look at a person, the first glance is enough."

"But..." The voice suddenly choked in her throat, and Qiao Si could no longer speak.

Qiao Che didn't notice Qiao Si's expression. He turned around and walked into the room, "You didn't say anything. It seems like this bracelet is suitable for giving away."

Looking at his back, Qiao Si didn't speak for a long time.

She didn't know how long it took before she took steps in a daze.

While in the villa garden, she met Tang Kai.

Tang Kai saw her pale expression and couldn't help but be concerned, "Miss Qiao Si, what's wrong with you?"

Joss shook her head, looked up at the sky, and murmured, "I just want to go home."

"I send you."

Qiao Si shook her head and refused, "The driver will take me there."

Qiao Si smiled and waved to Tang Kai, then slowly walked out of Tang Kai's sight.

It started to drizzle in the sky, and there was rain on her face...and tears.

These uncontrollable tears are not because of Tang Kai, but in memory of...the most beautiful first love ever.
