Episode 2 'Threads into the Heart' - Wife Stealing Story: The Little White Rabbit Gets into the Trick
Chapter 461
Qiao Si looked at Qiao Che with wide eyes, very nervous and worried.
Qiao Che's cold and cold face gradually turned soft after hearing his subordinate's response on the phone.
Qiao Si clearly saw the changes on Qiao Che's face, and she asked anxiously, "How is it?"
Qiao Che smiled and put the phone next to Qiao Si's ear.
Qiao Si took the phone blankly, and Rachel's childish voice came from inside, "Is it uncle?"
Joss exclaimed, "Rachel?"
Rachel also became excited when she heard Qiao Si's voice, "Mommy!"
"Rachel, where are you? Are you okay? Tell mommy quickly..."
"Mommy, why do you ask me so many questions at once..."
"Mommy is so worried about you, is something okay?"
Rachel on the other end was very confused, "Mommy, I'm fine. Uncle Zhang is taking me home."
"Uncle Zhang?"
Qiao Che interjected, "He is the one who looks after Rachel in Paris."
Hearing Qiao Che's explanation, Qiao Si nodded blankly, "Are you with Uncle Zhang now?"
Rachel spit out happily, "Yes...Uncle Zhang took me to eat a lot of things and bought me a lot of toys..."
Qiao Si breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't hold back her tears, "Baby, you scared mommy to death..."
When Rachel heard Qiao Si's crying voice, she was confused, "Mommy, what's wrong with you? I'm fine, I just went home tonight..." Realizing her mistake, Rachel's voice became smaller.
Qiao Si wiped away her tears and spoke righteously, "Rachel, didn't Mommy tell you that you can only leave the kindergarten if your grandma comes to pick you up?"
Faced with her mother's sternness, Rachel lowered her voice, "Mommy, I know I was wrong...but I didn't mean to wait for my grandma to pick me up. It was the last arithmetic class and I didn't want to go to it, because the teacher taught her every day.
Those, I already know those..."
"Then you can't skip class."
The little sweetheart didn't say anything there, looking very aggrieved.
Xiao Zhang's voice then came from the phone, "I'm sorry, Miss Qiao, I took Rachel out of the kindergarten... Before the arithmetic class, Rachel was not in a good mood. I asked her why she was in a bad mood, and she told me
She said that she didn’t want to take arithmetic class because she knew all the content in arithmetic class... I was afraid that she would be unhappy, so I asked the teacher to take one class off and let Rachel finish school early. I told the kindergarten teacher to tell her mother
Yes, for some reason, the teacher didn't seem to tell my mother, which caused the misunderstanding... I just received a call from my boss and I realized the seriousness of the matter."
After learning the whole story, Qiao Si breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mommy, don't blame Uncle Zhang. I asked Uncle Zhang to take me to play... Mommy... I'm sorry, I won't dare next time." Rachel said pitifully on the other end of the phone.
Qiao Si, who had just calmed down her worries, was reluctant to attack Rachel. She softened her tone and said, "Mommy, I don't blame you, but next time, no matter where you go, remember to call Grandma Pa or Mommy.
Otherwise we will be worried, you know?"
"I see."
"Hey... you call Grandma Pa now, Grandma Pa is almost dying of anxiety."
"Oh... Mommy, Uncle Zhang is already calling Grandma Pa."
"That's good... just go home with Uncle Zhang. You won't let Mommy and Grandma Pa worry anymore."
"Um……"
"good."
"Mommy, when will you come back?"
"Soon, mommy will return to Paris in the next two days."
"Will uncle come back with you?" Rachel asked expectantly on the phone.
Qiao Si glanced at Qiao Che and said, "Uh..."
Rachel hurriedly interrupted Qiao Si's words, "You must come back with uncle. I miss uncle so much..."
Qiao Si gave a vague "Huh".
Rachel was very happy and said, "Mommy, uncle promised to buy me a gift, you have to remind him not to forget..."
"Um."
After ending the phone call with Rachel, Qiao Si's worried expression had faded away, leaving only joy.
"Thank you." Qiao Si handed the phone to Qiao Che.
Qiao Che then threw the phone to the servant, Lian Lian stepped forward and stretched out his hand to wipe away the remaining tears on Qiao Si's cheek, and said hoarsely, "Look at you, you panic when you encounter Rachel... Since I promised you that I will protect Rachel
He is very considerate and will naturally not let anything happen to Rachel in Paris."
Qiao Si said a little aggrievedly, "How did I know that Rachel left with your people?"
"Later I will ask someone to find out why the kindergarten teacher didn't tell his mother what Xiao Zhang said, otherwise it would have caused such a big mistake."
Qiao Si nodded, "As long as Rachel is fine..."
Qiao Che smiled and pushed Qiao Si into his arms, "Fool, how could I let anything happen to our daughter?"
Leaning against Qiao Che's chest, Qiao Si felt extremely warm. You know, the moment she learned that Rachel was missing, her whole body lost its warmth.
She didn't know why, leaning in his arms, she felt so at ease.
Qiao Che lowered his head slightly and saw Qiao Si leaning in his arms with her eyes closed. He was very satisfied and couldn't help but kiss the top of her head. The faint fragrance of her hair penetrated his nose, and he spoke softly
spat out, "You were just scared, weren't you?"
Joss nodded.
Qiao Che closed his arms and hugged Qiao Si, "It's okay, I'm here."
Qiao Si was attached to the warmth of being held by him at this moment, her mind fell into a blank, she just wanted to be held by him like this.
It wasn't until tens of seconds later, when she came out of her trance, that she suddenly raised her head from his chest.
He looked at her, his eyes as deep as pool water.
Only then did Qiao Si realize that she had just been addicted to his arms and couldn't extricate herself. She slowly broke away from him, stepped away awkwardly, kept a meter away from him, and said, "Since Rachel is fine,
I’m leaving first…”
Qiao Che grabbed Qiao Si's hand and said, "It's so late, the sea has fogged up, and it's very dangerous to leave the island now."
"It's okay, it was foggy on the sea when we came here."
Qiao Che walked around to Qiao Si and took her hands, "I don't trust you to leave."
Qiao Si gently broke away from Qiao Che's hand, "Cheng Yao is worried about Rachel and has already returned to France. I must find a way to contact Cheng Yao. He is on the plane now and must be very worried. Moreover, Luo Bin is also waiting for me outside.
."
"I will ask Tang Kai to contact Luo Bin. Luo Bin will definitely find a way to inform Li Chengyao that Rachel is fine."
Qiao Si hesitated on the spot.
Qiao Che looked at the sea, "Look, the fog on the sea is already very heavy, and it is very dangerous to leave the island."
Qiao Si followed Qiao Che's gaze and looked towards the sea. Indeed, the sea was so foggy that it was impossible to tell the direction.
When Qiao Si hesitated, Qiao Che spoke again, "Stay here for one night. I will leave the island tomorrow, and we will leave together."
Qiao Si struggled in her heart for a long time, and finally nodded.
Qiao Che smiled and put his arms around Qiao Si, "Let's go back to the villa."
When Qiao Che put his strong arms on Qiao Si's shoulders, Qiao Si realized that because he had just been swimming, he was only wearing a pair of boxer briefs.
There were still wet stains on his chest, and the stains slid down the beautiful texture of his chest.
Because he usually pays attention to exercise, he is in very good shape.
Seeing his tight black swimming trunks from the corner of her eye, Qiao Si's cheeks felt inexplicably hot.
She pushed Qiao Che away, said "I'll go on my own", and distanced herself from him.
Qiao Che had noticed her flushed cheeks a long time ago and couldn't help but smile and let her distance.

----------------------------------------------
Back at the villa, Joss stayed in the room she had lived in before.
As soon as she entered the room, she closed the door and leaned against the door panel, her heart beating very fast for no reason.
Qiao Si stroked her chest to calm herself down.
She had to admit that no matter it was in the past or now, he always gave her a sense of peace of mind.
With him, she never seemed to have to worry about troubles, because he could always solve them for her.
After taking a few deep breaths, Qiao Si sat on the bed.
The image of her running to him just now because she was worried about Rachel suddenly flashed through her mind...
Why is he the first thing she thinks of when she encounters something she can't solve?
Why would she involuntarily tell him her grievances and rely on him in front of him?
This is basically her before...
However, this year, she has clearly let go of him and has no feelings for him at all...
However, her behavior just now was not a sign that she had no feelings for him. She was still dependent on him, otherwise she would not have come to him in the first place...
Her dependence on him was instinctive.
Why is this happening?
Could it be that... could it be that she really hasn't let go of him yet?
No... it won't be like this... The person she likes is Li Chengyao, and the person she cares about is also Li Chengyao... But why is he all she thinks about now?
The lights in the room suddenly dimmed at this moment.
Qiao Si, who was immersed in her thoughts, suddenly came back to her senses and looked at the darkness around her.
She was afraid of the dark, so she immediately jumped up from the bed and ran towards the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she rushed out of the room like a locomotive, not wanting to run into a thick chest.
Qiao Si let out a cry of pain, rubbed her sore nose and looked at the person coming.
The fire in the fireplace on the first floor was blazing, shining on the two people on the second floor.
Qiao Si stared blankly at Qiao Che, who had already changed clothes, and said angrily, "Why did the battery suddenly run out?"
Qiao Che said, "The island relies on generators to generate electricity. Sometimes when the generator fails, the power will be cut off."
"oh……"
"I've asked my servant to go check on the generator. If it can be repaired, I'll call you in the evening."
Joss glanced around. Although the firewood from the fireplace on the first floor illuminated the entire villa, the surroundings were still dim.
Qiao Che said, "I'm just afraid that you're afraid of the dark alone, so I came here to see you."
Only then did Qiao Si notice that Qiao Che's shirt had not been fully buttoned. Apparently, he had just been changing clothes, and after the power outage, he rushed over before he had time to button his shirt.
Qiao Si said in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I just bumped into you."
Qiao Che smiled, "No one is as afraid of the dark as you."
Qiao Si muttered softly, "It's not like you don't know that I'm afraid of the dark."
Qiao Che hooked Qiao Si's pretty nose like he was drowning, "It's useless..."
"Stop talking about ghosts."
The smile lines at the corners of Qiao Che's mouth deepened, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"
The servants had already lit up Joss's room with candles.
Only then did Qiao Si lose some of her fear, and suddenly found that her hand was holding his arm tightly.
She let go of him suddenly and said angrily, "What kind of broken island is this..."
Qiao Che looked at Qiao Si's cute look when she complained in amusement.
Qiao Si opened her mouth to say something, but when she raised her eyes, she met his deep, gleaming black eyes.
Qiao Si's heart trembled, she avoided his burning eyes and said, "I want to sleep."
Qiao Che nodded, "Then I'll stay with you for a while, and then I'll leave after you fall asleep."
Qiao Si hurriedly said, "Uh... no need, the room is already very bright, I'm not afraid anymore." She admitted that she was using reason to control her heart at the moment.
She couldn't get too close to him, or her heart would become more and more confused.
Qiao Che asked seriously, "Are you sure you can do it alone?"
Joss turned her head and glanced at the room.
To be honest, she is a very timid person. Even if there are candles in the room, the dim feeling in the room still scares her, especially the jumping candlelight is like a phantom, which deepens people's fear. She came
On Mo Dao's first night, she asked him to accompany her because she could not eliminate this fear*.
Fear is controlling Joss's reason...
Qiao Che is such a person who can observe people's words. He added, "Okay, if you can do it alone, then I will stay in the room opposite. If you need anything, call me... There is some wind at night. Remember to close the windows."
, otherwise there will be noise if the wind rushes into the room."
Usually there is a sea breeze at night, but when there are lights, the sea breeze blows the curtains, and there is a romantic feeling. But when the lights are replaced by candles, the sea breeze becomes...
Qiao Si unconsciously sketched out a frightening picture in her mind. Almost as soon as Qiao Che finished speaking, Qiao Si hurriedly spat out, "Let's chat for a while!"
She didn't want to ask him to accompany her out loud, so she had to change her words.
Little did Qiao Si know that she had slipped into Qiao Che's trap step by step... Of course, there was nothing unusual about Qiao Che's face.
He said, "Okay, let's chat for a while."
Joss nodded.
…
Although there were candles lit in the room, the light was still dim.
With Qiao Che here, Qiao Si's fear disappeared. However, she was the one who invited him in to chat, and at this moment, she didn't know what to talk to him about.
There seemed to be nothing to talk about between them, so the silence felt a bit strange.
The atmosphere of a man and a woman alone in a room is not an ordinary one.
Fortunately, he got up from the sofa, walked to the wine cabinet in the room, and broke the tense atmosphere by saying, "Guan Hao has collected a lot of wine here, including your father's favorite wine when he was alive."
Wine produced at the winery.”
Chateau Bordeaux is said to be the predecessor of "Celli"... It was because José's grandfather liked the red wine produced by the "Bodor" winery that he tried his best to acquire "Porteau", and later changed the name to "Celle"
,Therefore, there are very few wines from the "Bodo" winery in existence.
Qiao Si was surprised, "Really?"
Qiao Che had already poured two glasses of wine on the wine cabinet. He smiled and nodded.
Qiao Si got up from the sofa and walked to the wine cabinet, picked up one of the glasses of wine, put it to her nose and sniffed.
The red wine produced in "Bodo" is indeed mellow and pleasant...
Qiao Si said excitedly, "Just by smelling it, you can tell that this wine has a history of at least a hundred years. The aroma of the wine is so unique. When it enters the throat, it makes people feel itchy. I really want to take a sip..."
Qiao Che gently shook the red wine, "It's a pity that when your father was alive, we didn't know that Guan Hao kept this wine..."
Qiao Si said disappointedly, "Yes, daddy loves red wine the most. He used to say that the wine of 'Porto' is the best wine in the world, but there are not many red wines from 'Porto' in the world. When daddy purchased 'Bodo', he left
Daddy drank up the bottles of red wine he bought one after another. Later, he was thinking about the "Bodo" wine and looked everywhere, but he couldn't find it... Daddy thought there was no more "Bodo" wine in the world.
Woolen cloth."
Qiao Che said with a smile, "I think your dad's only career regret in this life is that he couldn't make Saili produce a good wine like Bordeaux... The same winery, but your dad
You can’t produce the same red wine.”
"Well, Daddy said before that this wish will be fulfilled by you, but..." Qiao Si suddenly stopped speaking, paused, and changed what she originally wanted to say to something else, "I'm afraid now this wish will have to be fulfilled by me.
It’s come true, but I actually don’t know much about wine. The main reason I was able to get ‘Teng Qiao’ on the market was because Uncle Jiang and the others were helping me.”
What Qiao Si wanted to say just now was actually - but you are not willing to manage the winery...
She was about to say it but realized that it was not suitable for her to say such words to him now.
Today, he has nothing to do with the Qiao family. He is now the high-ranking "QCS" president that attracts worldwide attention. The Qiao family is just a famous red wine family in France. Although their family is considered rich and powerful, they are not as powerful as the Qiao family.
Compared with him, he is not worth mentioning. Even if she did not announce the death of her "brother", he is still her brother. I am afraid he will not have time to take care of Qiao's winery. Besides, he has never
I had no intention of taking over.
She believed that if he was willing to take over the winery, their Qiao family winery would have become as famous as "Bodo" in the past...
There are such people in this world, no matter what they do, the result will be success, because they are born with minds that ordinary people cannot match.
For example, he...
She didn't know how he developed "qcs" into such a world-famous large group today, but his wisdom and shrewdness were innate.
For example, when they were young, their father asked them to learn how to identify the age and alcohol content of red wine. It took her several years to learn only some superficial knowledge, and she still doesn’t understand all kinds of red wine, but it only took him one
During the summer vacation, I already knew all the red wines...
He has talent in everything he does, just like being a doctor, he can also do it to the extreme. So when she learned that he had the identity of the president behind "qcs" during his fight with Guan Hao a few years ago, she
Not surprising at all.
"Maybe I can help you solve this problem."
His gentle voice brought her out of her thoughts.
She raised her head and met his deep eyes inadvertently.
Inexplicably, there is a throbbing in my heart.
She asked, "How to solve it?"
He laughed, his smile like the warm sunshine in the cold winter, "I don't accept the winery because the winery is not named 'Guan'. It belongs to your Qiao family. It naturally has to be taken care of by your Qiao family. But
If I were also a member of the Qiao family..." When he said this, he paused deliberately, looked at her face that looked particularly beautiful under the candlelight in the dark night with deep eyes, and slowly said, "I became a member of the Qiao family.
As my son-in-law, I naturally have the responsibility to take care of the winery and fulfill your father’s wish."
Qiao Si didn't react for a moment...
Qiao Che added with a smile, "Marry me and I will become a member of the Qiao family. I can fulfill your father's wish and help him take care of his most precious daughter."
In the dim light, he looked at her tenderly, with a smile on his lips, filled with confidence and pride.
Qiao Si's face became red and hot. She put down her wine glass and turned to leave.
His hand caught her in time, and with a gentle tug, he pulled her into his arms, wrapping his arms around her from back to front.
Her heart was beating so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
He hugged her tightly, resting his head on her shoulder, close to her smooth cheek, and said in a low voice, "I love you, Sisi... No matter what, for the sake of us having Rachel, give me more
Give me a chance and let me take care of you mother and daughter."
Qiao Si's body was shaken.
She thought he had given up when he watched her leave with Li Chengyao today, but she didn't expect that he...
He has always used this kind of persistence with Ran Ran. She never thought that he would be so persistent with her.
His voice was so hoarse, it was as if he was pleading with her.
She struggled, but his arms wrapped around her domineeringly, not allowing her a chance to escape.
She was annoyed, "Let me go first..."
He pressed closer to her, smelling the scent of perfume on her neck, "I won't let go."
Qiao Si stopped struggling, bit her lip and said, "Why are you such a scoundrel?" She realized now that she had mentioned Daddy on purpose, and then used Daddy to bring up the topic of red wine, and then the topic of red wine led to the current topic.
Topic... He is really good at cheating.
He directly ignored her accusation, "Sisi, you see, even God is not willing to let you leave with Li Chengyao... If you leave with Li Chengyao today, there is nothing I can do, but God has given you and me another chance now.
, you teach me how to let you go."
"I won't believe what you said..." Qiao Si spat out anxiously.
Qiao Che suddenly turned around Qiao Si and looked at her deeply, "So you have me in your heart, you just don't believe what I said to you, right?"
Only then did Qiao Si realize that she had just said the wrong thing, and she hurriedly explained, "No... I only have Cheng Yao in my heart."
He looked at her anxious face with a smile, "Do you think I will believe what you say?"
Qiao Si pushed him angrily, "I don't care whether you believe it or not, what I said is the truth."
There was a voice in Qiao Che's heart reminding him not to push her too hard. If he did, she would only run away further.
Qiao Che slowly let go of her, staring at her nervous face with deep eyes, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have forced you..."
Qiao Si wanted to turn around and leave, but after seeing his deep gaze, she suddenly couldn't bear it and froze in place.
He turned his back on her, walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window, and said slowly, "Now I finally know what it feels like to love someone but never get a response from that person... I really deserve it, I really don't deserve to love someone."
The sight of his back made her feel inexplicably distressed.
She bit her lip, walked behind him, and whispered, "Don't say that, no one was right or wrong in the past, it was just that we missed it... I believe there will be a good girl by your side to take care of you in the future.
." Why did she say such words now? She felt astringent in her heart.
Qiao Che looked into the distance and faintly vomited, "No way... I have already missed the best girl I have ever met in my life."
Qiao Si lowered her head, feeling inexplicably sad.
Qiao Che sighed and turned around.
She raised her eyes and looked at him.
He forced himself to smile and said, "It's very late. You can go to sleep...I'll go to the balcony to smoke."
Joss nodded.
He walked out of the room sadly.
People are like this. When they have other things in their hearts, they forget about fear.
Qiao Si sat alone on the edge of the bed and remembered what he had just said to her.
marry me...
For so many years, not to mention expecting him to say this to her, I didn't even think about it.
If he had said this to her before, she would have chosen to agree without hesitation, but why did he say this today when it was too late?
Qiao Si shook her head, her eyes becoming wet.
She can't look back anymore. She finally got over the sadness of the past...
But……
Why is her heart so hesitant?
Seeing his lost and leaving figure, she actually felt a little distressed.
Lying down*, covering herself with a quilt, Qiao Si plunged herself into the boundless darkness.
…
Tossing and turning, Qiao Si couldn't fall asleep.
Finally, Qiao Si got up and came to the balcony outside the room.
The candlelight in the room shines on the balcony...
Although it was not very bright on the balcony, she could see him clearly.
When she saw him, she was shocked...
He actually drank so much wine...
I saw several empty whiskey bottles on the table and on the ground...
At this moment, Qiao Si was not afraid of the darkness. She ran over and looked at him lying on the table, drunk and unconscious.
Her heart began to feel sad... because she had never seen him drunk before.
He once told her that one must always remain conscious so as not to be plotted by others, so he never allowed himself to get drunk.
But...at this moment, he was suddenly drunk in front of her.
Qiao Si knelt down, with tears already in her eyes. She pushed him gently, "Brother...brother..."
