Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up instantly, and the corner of her mouth raised a happy arc, and she was about to call him immediately, but soon, a woman came out of the room and put her arm around him...
Qiaoqiao's body froze instantly, as if someone had stuffed a piece of cotton in her throat and she could no longer make a sound. She watched helplessly as the two of them walked away together. When she realized it, they had already left...
She immediately chased after her, but when she turned around the corridor, the two of them happened to get on the elevator. She ran to the elevator entrance, looked at the numbers that dropped little by little, turned around and ran into the stairs without hesitation, and ran down quickly.
go……
After twenty flights of stairs, she ran to the first floor in one breath. When she ran out of the elevator, the two of them got into a car and left...
And Qiao Qiao fell to the ground in exhaustion, her body covered in sweat, and she was particularly embarrassed...
Thinking back to his regretful marriage, the strange behavior at the last meal, and the disappearance of innocent people...it seemed as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
There were a lot of people coming and going in the hotel at this time, and everyone looked at the girl who fell awkwardly not far away in surprise. Qiaoqiao didn't want to let herself cry, but she couldn't help but shed tears. She tried hard to stand up.
But my feet hurt so much...
Until a warm big hand held her shoulder, she looked back and met Mu Li's deep black eyes. She wiped away the tears on her face in embarrassment, not wanting him to see...
Mu Li sighed helplessly, squatted down without hesitation, picked her up and strode towards the elevator...
When the elevator door closed, Qiao Qiao said in a low voice, "Let me down."
"Your feet don't hurt anymore?" Mu Li asked coldly. He hated her for crying for other men, but he couldn't let her go like this.
"So what if it hurts? I still have to use it to walk!" Qiaoqiao struggled to get down, but Mu Li didn't force it. The moment her feet touched the ground, a heartbreaking pain hit her, and she almost fell down.
Mu Li immediately grabbed her waist and lifted her up hard, letting her feet stand on his insteps...
Qiaoqiao raised her head and looked at him in surprise. Mu Li held her waist tighter, stared at her deeply and said slowly, "I can take you with me! No matter where you want to go, or if you want
Whatever you do...I'm willing to accompany you!"
Qiaoqiao smiled sadly, shook her head gently, and said, "No one can accompany me... everyone will leave me... In the end I will become alone! Because of fear, I really want to marry brother Qiming,
I'm just afraid of being abandoned again... But, this day has come! Maybe this is my destiny..."
Mu Li looked at her empty eyes, and his heart almost broke. He lowered his head without hesitation and kissed her trembling lips. His kiss was very gentle, careful, and full of pity. Qiao Qiao really didn't have it.
I pushed him away with all my strength. I was so exhausted that I collapsed and gently closed my eyes...
But she couldn't deceive her heart. She didn't hate his kiss...
"Don't be afraid...I will be there in the future! I will always be with you and will never leave you again!" Mu Li let go of her and held her tightly in his arms.
Qiaoqiao closed her eyes in pain. Even she herself didn't know how far away forever was...
Mu Li placed her in the presidential suite on the top floor. The room was very luxurious. Qiaoqiao was sitting on the luxurious bed, her hair messy on her pale face, looking particularly weak.
Mu Li took off her shoes and socks for her. Her originally white feet had a few broken skin and were swollen, looking a little scary.
Qiaoqiao hurriedly wanted to take it back, but he held it, frowned and ordered, "Don't move!"
After he finished speaking, he took out a box of ointment from his pocket. Qiao Qiao's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "This medicine..."
"I was thrown out of the window yesterday by a heartless person!" Mu Li glared at her displeased, opened the ointment and carefully applied it to the broken skin on her feet.
"You were downstairs at my house yesterday? Why?" Qiao Qiao was a little confused. She didn't understand why he did this to her. She couldn't figure it out. She really couldn't figure it out!
"Because I lost you before... I will never do it again, never again." Mu Li murmured while applying medicine for her.
"I don't understand...is it related to the memory I lost?" Qiaoqiao looked at him in confusion, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember what kind of interaction she had with him.
"If you can't remember it, don't think about it... I will make you fall in love with me again!" Mu Li never told her about the two of them when they were young, and he didn't want to use their past to constrain her. This would be very difficult for her now.
It's not fair to say.
"..." Qiao Qiao was speechless. She didn't know what would happen in the future, and she was at a loss about her future destiny.
Neither of them spoke anymore, and the room was so quiet that the only sound was each other's breathing. Mu Li finished applying the medicine for her, carefully put her feet under the quilt, and then stood up, trying to mark her forehead.
Last kiss.
Qiao Qiao avoided it like a reflex...
Seeing this, Mu Li simply kissed her hair...
"..."
Qiao Qiao was speechless. This guy seemed to love kissing himself...
Moreover, always ask for your own opinion.
"Do you have anything to tell me?" Mu Li sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her tenderly and asking, with such affectionate eyes that Qiao Qiao couldn't resist.
Lowering her eyelashes slightly, she nodded gently...
"..."
Mu Lihao looked at her calmly and waited patiently, her heart beating slightly out of rhythm...
There is an indescribable expectation in my heart...
"Can you reimburse me for the printing money and yesterday's meal?"
…………
Because of this episode, Qiaoqiao worked until very late to finish her drinks. When she ran back to the banquet hall, it was locked and empty.
The phone rang. Qiao Qiao glanced at the number on it. It was Duan Qiming. She suddenly didn't want to answer his call anymore...
The phone still rang stubbornly, and Qiao Qiao simply pressed the hang up button. The truth was already in front of her, what else was there to say?
Turning around to leave the hotel, his phone kept calling, but Qiao Qiao had no choice but to press the answer button...
"Hey, Qiaoqiao, where are you? Why don't you answer my call? Did something happen?" Duan Qiming's voice was urgent and warm, as usual, revealing his concern for her.
However, she felt very cold...
"Brother Qiming... I know everything!" Qiao Qiao has always trusted Duan Qiming and relied on him. If she were asked whether she loved Duan Qiming or not, she really couldn't tell, but he had given her her best love.
The most desired warmth.
"Qiaoqiao, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Duan Qiming asked with a frown, still pretending to be confused.
"Longteng Hotel... I've seen it all!" Qiao Qiao simply made it clear, suddenly feeling like she didn't really understand him at all.
"Qiao Qiao, listen to my explanation, where are you now? Things are not what you think! I have nothing to do with her!" Duan Qiming is best at lying. In his eyes, Qiao Qiao is a simple and innocent person.
You can deceive any fool she will believe.
"..."
"Qiaoqiao, you are treating me unfairly... Even if you want to sentence me to death, you must give me a chance to appeal! Isn't it true that our relationship for so many years is not worthy of your trust in me?" Duan Qiming was heartbroken.
"Okay, I'll listen to your explanation! Let's meet downstairs at my house." After Qiaoqiao hung up the phone, she left the hotel, took a taxi and left.
When Qiao Qiao arrived, Duan Qiming was already downstairs. When he saw her getting out of the car, he immediately walked over and looked at her nervously, "Qiao Qiao..."
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Qiao Qiao stared at him deeply. This picture made her want to entrust her life to the person, but at this moment, she felt extremely strange.
On the way back, she kept thinking about everything since the two met. Duan Qiming was a very caring man. He was gentle and attentive to her and took good care of her. At that time, he was her only warmth.
This was one of the reasons why she decided to marry him in the first place.
The school she attended was a boarding school, with only one day off on Sunday. No matter how busy he was on that day, he would come to accompany her. Unfortunately, she knew nothing about his life, and he never let her know about it.
live his life.
At that time, she was extremely unconfident about life and herself. She was too eager for the care of others. She was afraid of the feeling of being abandoned. I don’t know why, every time she thought of being abandoned, she would get cold all over, and even
It's trembling all the time.
It was as if she had ever encountered such abandonment in her life, the kind of abandonment that hurt her bones...
"Qiaoqiao, you really misunderstood me. The girl you saw today is my cousin. She and I are not the kind of relationship you thought. She applied for a local university and knew I was here, so she came over in advance to see me.
It depends on the circumstances...really, I swear!" Duan Qiming nervously grabbed her hand and raised his hand to swear.
"Cousin? But I have never heard you say that you have such a cousin." Qiao Qiao frowned and looked at him, not knowing whether what he said was true or false.
"She is my aunt's cousin. I didn't think it was necessary to mention it before. After we get married, we will naturally get to know each other... I'm sorry. It's my fault for making you sad. I'm really sorry!" Duan Qiming's expression was very serious.
sincere.
"..." Qiao Qiao also felt complicated in her heart. Duan Qiming once saved her life. Once she went out of school to buy school supplies. When she came back, she was targeted by bad guys, who robbed her of her things and pushed her into the river. She couldn't help but
She knew how to swim and almost drowned, but he saved her...
They got to know each other and later fell in love...
"Qiao Qiao... this weekend is my birthday. You have celebrated my birthdays for me in the past few years! If you ignore me, I will be alone! Can you bear it?" Duan Qiming knew clearly.
Qiao Qiao's weakness, she was defeated in just a few words.
"I'm a little confused now... You should go back first. I will go to celebrate your birthday on the weekend." Qiao Qiao finally relaxed.
However, when she said these words, Long Muli's handsome face inexplicably flashed across her mind, and she actually felt a little guilty.
It’s like I’ve done something sorry for him!
Qiao Qiao was a little annoyed, why did she think so?!
There is obviously no relationship between them!
"What's wrong with you?" Duan Qiming noticed the change in her mood, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
"It's okay... Go back quickly and drive slowly." Qiao Qiao warned him worriedly.
"I want to go up and sit...is that okay?" Duan Qiming asked tentatively.
Qiaoqiao shook her head and said, "My great-grandfather said that men cannot be allowed into the apartment! Otherwise, he will punish me."
"He can't see it now. I'll just go up and have a glass of water and leave, okay?" Duan Qiming continued to pretend to be pitiful.
"No, I have to listen to my great-grandfather!" Qiao Qiao's attitude was very determined. Her great-grandfather was her only relative, and she would never let him down.
"Okay then, go back and have a good rest. I will bring my cousin to see you another day. Goodbye!" Duan Qiming put his arms around her and gently kissed her on the forehead.
"Goodbye!" When Qiao Qiao heard what he said, most of her doubts disappeared.
Duan Qiming drove away in the car. Qiao Qiao turned around and was about to go back to the apartment. The roar of the car sounded again behind her. She turned around and saw that it was a black sports car. Long Muli quickly got out of the driver's seat and came to her.
, raised his arm without hesitation and directly wiped her forehead with his sleeve...
"Ah...it hurts. What are you doing!" Qiaoqiao dodged left and right, but still couldn't avoid his strong force, and his skin was sore from being rubbed.
Mu Li said nothing, wiped it carefully a few times, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, pulled her to the car and let her go. He reached for a bottle of water, opened it, and poured it on the handkerchief.
"Long Muli, why are you so crazy! Why did my forehead offend you again?"
Mu Li's body had a strong smell of cigarette smoke, and his face was full of haze. He ignored her words and directly grabbed her and wiped her forehead with a wet handkerchief...
"So dirty!" He spat out these two words in displeasure!
"..."
"Long Muli... It's none of your business whether I'm dirty or not!" Qiao Qiao was also a little angry and pushed her away hard.
"You forgive him so easily?" Mu Li looked directly at her and asked, with suppressed anger in his tone.
"He explained to me...that woman is his cousin!" Qiao Qiao explained guiltily while covering her forehead.
"You just believe him when he says it! Your IQ is lost to dogs!" Mu Li resisted the urge to strangle her and asked, a girl who was obviously very smart when she was young, how could she become stupid!
"Long Muli! You are not mine! Why do you care about me?" Qiao Qiao took her hand down angrily and stared at him angrily.
Why do you always belittle her like this? It's not her fault that she's stupid!
"..."
Mu Li's heart felt like it was pierced by a thorn. The feeling was more than painful, because she had pierced the thorn with her own hands...
Qiaoqiao looked at his hurt expression and wanted to apologize, but she couldn't say a word, so she could only look at him stubbornly...
"It's me who's meddling in other people's business!" Mu Li chuckled, dropped the handkerchief to the ground, then turned around and got into the car.
The car roared away like a gust of wind...
Only Qiaoqiao was left standing there...
Her body seemed to be frozen. She took a few deep breaths, then slowly squatted down, picked up the handkerchief that fell on the ground, and held it tightly in her hand.
