Chapter 108 - Protecting Xiao Qiao
At that time, she’d felt that something wasn’t quite right, so she’d asked Xiaoshen to see what had happened. As a result, Xiaoshen went to D city and came back, only to say that it was all groundless. The matter had only gone that far.
However, watching her daughter become more haggard and silent, she couldn’t continue to look on as a mother.
“Auntie, if it’s okay, I’ll leave first. There’s a press conference to be held in the evening. I need to prepare in advance.” Qin Yao stood up.
“Wait, why do you have to go when you just got here? Go and see Xiao Rou!” For the sake of her daughter, Mother Gu mother softened her tone.
Qin Yao stopped, and then nodded.
Pushing the door to Gu Xiao Rou’s bedroom.
She was sitting on the carpet in a thin pajamas, tearing up crumpled pictures on the ground.
She squeezed a picture of Qin Yao and Gong Xiaoqiao hugging each under the ambiguous street lamp. There was no innocent look on her face, only hatred.
Whispering lowly, “Qin Yao… What do you think will happen if I give these pictures to the reporters?”
Qin Yao took the blanket from the bed, covered her shoulder, and gently held her, his tone soft, “Honey, what do you think your private detective can take that the press wouldn’t be able to get? It’s not that they don’t want to publish it, but that they dare not!”
Gu Xiao Rou’s body suddenly trembled, and looking back in astonishment, stared at him, “For the sake of not wanting to inconvenience Gong Xiaoqiao, you bought off all the reporters a long time ago?”
Qin Yao chuckled and said, “I don’t have the ability to do that. Your brother stopped the news.”
“No, how can he help you guys?” Gu Xiao Rou refuted in disbelief.
Qin Yao picked up a picture, “He’s not helping us, but protecting Xiao Qiao.”
“No… Bother won’t help outsiders! Why, why are you telling me this?” Gu Xiao Rou screamed hysterically.
“Shh! Such a loud voice, you want everyone to think that we’re fighting?”
Qin Yao hugged her and said in a spoiled tone, sitting on the bed. “Fool, you don’t believe in me like this? Xiao Qiao and I are just trying to cooperate with the hype.”
“Really…?”
“How many times do I have to say it before you believe that you’re the only one in my heart?”
“Qin Yao…” Gu Xiao Rou looked at him in a daze, as if she had returned to heaven from hell in a moment.
“Don’t think about it. I’m going to work right away. You have to be good at home, don’t let uncle and aunt worry.”
Gu Xiao Rou looked at the man in front of her eyes. She felt that he was different, he was obviously saying this with a gentle expression and a patient coaxing tone, but why did she feel so cold?
…
Taian Community.
Gong Xiaoqiao stood akimbo with her hand on her waist, and waved a spatula in the other, pointing to the man who was rushing in with fruits, vegetables, rice, oil and salt. “Look at what time it is! I waited to prepare a dish for so long that I even completely memorized the book of ‘Rudimentary scriptures’!”
“I’m sorry, are you hungry? There was a bit of a delay!” Qin Yao was full of sweat while he apologized, not caring about her bad attitude.
Gong Xiaoqiao pouted, “You went to see Gu Xiao Rou! Her smell is all over your body…”
Even her jealous look was pleasing to the eye…
“Should I cook today? Think of it as an atonement.” Qin Yao’s tone was full of indulgence.
Gong Xiaoqiao looked frightened. “Come on you! With that your craftsmanship, don’t torture me!”
