Chapter 298: Chapter 298 Too Sweet Chapter 298: Chapter 298 Too Sweet As soon as Wang Xiaotang spoke, Nan Qiao’s mood soured. This woman must be sick! Huo Siyu was the first to retort, “If you have bad eyes, you better visit an ophthalmologist quickly! I, Huo Siyu, am as beautiful as a flower, and she, Li Xia, is all technology. How dare she compare herself to me?” Li Xia looked flustered, but Nan Qiao seemed as if she had discovered a new world. Li Xia argued, “What are you talking about? Who is all technology? I’m certainly not!” Wang Xiaotang laughed, “I think you should hurry to the ophthalmologist too, since your eyesight also seems poor.” Liu Mei tugged at Wang Xiaotang’s clothes, signaling her to stop talking. Although Liu Mei was friends with Li Xia, she didn’t want to offend Nan Qiao, so she remained silent throughout. Nan Qiao wouldn’t easily let Li Xia off the hook, considering it was Li Xia’s permissiveness that had led to her friend being bullied. Nan Qiao studied Li Xia’s face and said sternly, “You’ve raised your nose and shaved your jawbone. It seems like you might need maintenance soon too, right? Just look at your jawline; it’s really abnormal.” Li Xia, hit by Nan Qiao’s accurate remarks, was filled with panic and annoyance. She hadn’t expected Nan Qiao to make her lose face. Wang Xiaotang charged ahead, “What nonsense are you spouting! Xiaxia’s face is her mother’s own!” “Her mother couldn’t possibly have given birth to a daughter like that. Her mother’s had surgery on her face too.” Li Xia: “!!” Why did Nan Qiao know about this too! Li Xia stopped Wang Xiaotang, “Enough, we came here to shop, let’s not ruin our mood.” Li Xia then looked at Huo Siyu, “Yun Xia, I just saw you and wanted to greet you. I also wanted to mention Brother Shaolin; I didn’t mean anything else.” Huo Siyu coldly said, “Since you are so close with Mr. Mo, tell him to stop debasing himself. I could never like him!” Huo Siyu pulled Nan Qiao away, not wanting to deal with this group of senseless women. Li Xia watched Nan Qiao leave, her eyes filled with venom. Wang Xiaotang quickly consoled, “Xiaxia, don’t stoop to her level. She’s just jealous! She’s just a substitute that Mr. Mo discarded, and yet she has the nerve to act self-righteous.” Li Xia snorted with a mocking laugh, her gaze falling on the silent Liu Mei. Liu Mei was terrified and forced a smile, “I was just too scared earlier...” Li Xia sneered, “You’re that scared? Then you’re not suited to be friends with us.” Liu Mei panicked more, instinctively looking towards Wang Xiaotang. Wang Xiaotang explained, “Xiaxia, Mei is just timid. I’ll talk to her later.” Li Xia said nothing more and left with a displeased expression. Liu Mei breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed. ... Nan Qiao and Huo Siyu found a restaurant and ordered a few dishes. Nan Qiao advised, “Don’t take Li Xia’s words to heart.” “I used to care a lot. Mr. Mo called me Yun Xia, a name derived from Li Xia, making me a substitute. But now I understand my own worth and it doesn’t bother me as much. Li Xia is really spiteful.” Nan Qiao chuckled and poured Huo Siyu a beer. The two chatted while drinking. ... Li Yehan called while Nan Qiao was talking with Huo Siyu. She answered the phone, hearing the magnetic voice of a man; “Qiaoqiao, where are you?” “I’m having dinner with Si Yu.” “Shall I come find you?” Nan Qiao declined, “I’m shopping with Si Yu, better you don’t mix in.” Nan Qiao was concerned Huo Siyu might feel uncomfortable. Huo Siyu actually cracked a slight smile, “Let Li Yehan come. I was just about to go check on Bobby.” Huo Siyu’s comment was also heard by Li Yehan. “Qiaoqiao, can I come find you?” Nan Qiao, with a bittersweet smile, gave her location. Huo Siyu smirked suggestively, “Qiaoqiao, Li Yehan is so good to you, lucky you.” “How do you know he’s good to me when you’ve barely met him?” “Mr. Mo mentioned it; he said Li Yehan has fallen deep, never seen him love someone so much.” “Mr. Mo sure is a blabbermouth,” Nan Qiao said. Huo Siyu laughed heartily, enjoying a very happy day. ... When Li Yehan saw Nan Qiao, he doted on her, holding her hand. Nan Qiao: “Li Yehan, aren’t you supposed to work today? I’m off only half the day; I still have to go to the office this afternoon.” “If Qiaoqiao’s not working, then I’m not working either, so I can keep you company. Isn’t that nice?” Nan Qiao: “...” “Li Yehan, how did you know I wasn’t at the office?” Li Yehan said, “I called Secretary Fu, he told me you took half a day off.” Nan Qiao, both amused and annoyed, checked her phone only to find a message from Secretary Fu that she had just seen. As the two walked ahead, Nan Qiao received a call from Bai Jingting. “Qiaoqiao, are you free today? At two, could you come to my office?” “Big Brother, what’s the matter?” “Just a personal matter, Qiaoqiao, can you come over?” Bai Jingting’s tone was filled with anticipation. Nan Qiao had never visited Bai Group, let alone Bai Jingting’s office. “Big Brother, see you at two,” Nan Qiao agreed. Although unsure what Bai Jingting wanted, when Big Brother called her, it was surely something important. After hanging up, Nan Qiao smiled, “Li Yehan, I can’t stay with you today; Big Brother asked me to come to his company.” “I’ll accompany you.” “That won’t do, I’m going to see my Big Brother, and if you show up in his office, who knows what the staff will think, maybe something big is going on at the company.” Li Yehan reluctantly agreed. They walked to the underground parking garage, where Nan Qiao sat in the passenger seat drinking bubble tea. Li Yehan leaned over, using her straw to take a sip—too sweet. “Li Yehan, I’ve already drunk from it.” “What you’ve drunk, I can too,” Li Yehan said seriously. Nan Qiao: “...” “You don’t even like bubble tea.” Li Yehan doted with a smile, ruffling Nan Qiao’s hair and rejoicing, “Whatever you like, I like too.” Nan Qiao took Nan Qiao’s hand, and just as she was about to ask what he was doing, a gold bracelet was placed on her wrist. Li Yehan’s smile widened, “Sending you gold every day, I haven’t forgotten.” His handsome face was inches away, and Nan Qiao’s heart involuntarily trembled. The two locked gazes, and Nan Qiao’s face suddenly turned red. “Qiaoqiao, are you blushing?” Nan Qiao lowered her head, too shy to meet Li Yehan’s gaze again. Staring into such affectionate eyes, who wouldn’t feel bashful? “Drive quickly, my Big Brother is waiting.” Li Yehan drove, while Nan Qiao bowed her head to sip her bubble tea. ... Arriving at the parking lot, Nan Qiao unbuckled her seatbelt, “I’ll go up first, you head back.” Nan Qiao pushed open the car door and walked out. Entering the company, she notified the front desk she was there to see Bai Jingting. Soon someone escorted her up, their demeanor utterly respectful. Nan Qiao was curious, what could Bai Jingting possibly want?
