Chapter 237: You Could Even Kiss People Forcefully, How Terrifying
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Qiao was really going all out this time! As long as she didn’t marry one of the 11 people, she wouldn’t lose anything by kissing Shao Jingmo. After kissing him just now, she realized that it wasn’t difficult for her.
She did it without any hesitation.
Mr. Qiao silently looked away and couldn’t bear to look at her. “Qiao Guigui, you should have some reservedness that a girl should have!”
Qiao Qiao said, “1—”
Without waiting for her to say anything, Mrs. Qiao stood up and patted Mr. Qiao’s shoulder. “Don’t stand here like a third wheel.”
Only then did Mr. Qiao react and stand up. “That’s true. We should give Guigui and Jingmo more space to interact. Sorry to disturb you.”
Qiao Qiao:
Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Qiao leave the living room one after another, Qiao Qiao sighed. She turned around in disappointment and was caught off guard by Qiao Jingmo’s gaze.
She didn’t see his dark and unhappy expression as she had imagined. Instead, his gaze was so deep that she didn’t dare to look at him directly. However, when she recalled her bold actions just now, she didn’t seem to think too much about it. Only now did she start to feel shocked.
Oh my god! What did she do?! She was so bold as to kiss Shao Jingmo in front of her parents!
At this moment, Qiao Qiao’s face was burning up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her heart was beating like a drum, and she subconsciously wanted to get up.
However, just as she was about to get up, Qiao Jingmo stretched out his arm and placed it on her waist. “Have you really thought it through?”
Qiao Qiao’s heart sank. “Do I have a choice?”
“Yes, I’ll make other arrangements—”
Before Qiao Jingmo could finish, Qiao Qiao immediately interrupted, “That’s what you said to me just now. And those are the eleven people you found, are you serious?”
Qiao Jingmo said, “There are still people in the entire Xingzhou who can be chosen for you.”
Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes inelegantly. “It’s the same no matter what. Let’s leave it at that. My heart is dead anyway. I’m not me anymore. It doesn’t matter who it is.”
Qiao Jingmo held her waist with his palm and slowly tightened his grip. “Your heart is dead, but your mouth isn’t. You even know how to kiss people forcefully. How terrifying.”
Qiao Qiao:
Qiao Qiao was speechless. She had nowhere to hide her flushed face and nowhere to put her embarrassed hands. She could only press them against his firm chest and say unwillingly, “That was an emotionless kiss. To me, it was equivalent to kissing a robot. Besides, I had no choice but to do it for my parents. ”
Qiao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. “An emotionless kiss? Like kissing a robot?”
Qiao Qiao was stubborn. “That’s right.”
Qiao Jingmo raised his other hand and brushed his fingertips across his lips. He seemed to be reminiscing about the unexpected kiss just now and was a little unsatisfied.
Then, he looked up at her with a deep gaze. “Why don’t you kiss me again? I want to see how emotionless you are.”
Qiao Qiao: ‘Q”
Qiao Jingmo said, “You’re the one who said that it’s an emotionless robot. I was too surprised just now and didn’t feel it carefully.” Qiao Qiao: Shameless!
He even took advantage of her after saying a few words.
She said in a serious manner, “The timing is important when kissing. The timing was right just now, but it’s not time yet.”
“Is that so?” Qiao Jingmo smiled faintly. He slowly loosened his grip on her waist. Seeing that Qiao Qiao was about to get up, he casually tightened his grip again, like a cat teasing a mouse.
Qiao Qiao puffed up her cheeks angrily. “You’re lucky!”
Qiao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. “Huh?”
Qiao Qiao: “My first marriage!”
Qiao Jingmo chuckled. “In that case, it’s my blessing.”
Qiao Qiao snorted. “Of course.”
Qiao Jingmo held Qiao Qiao’s hand and planted a kiss on the back of her hand. “I will cherish you.”
Qiao Qiao felt the back of her hand itch. She turned around and saw Qiao Jingmo kissing the back of her hand. The amazing thing was that she didn’t feel a chill in her heart. Instead, she felt an indescribable state of mind.
It was probably because he had already kissed her. A kiss on the back of his hand didn’t seem like a big deal.
Qiao Qiao was shocked when she thought of this.
The Great Demon King really knew how to bewitch people.
Qiao Qiao returned to her bedroom.
In the three years that she had not been back, her bedroom had been cleaned by servants every few days and maintained its original appearance. This time, Mrs. Qiao had changed the cover to Qiao Qiao’s favorite patterned bed cover. The long-lost familiarity washed over her, and it was destined to be a good night’s sleep.
The lights in Old Master Qiao’s room were still on.
The servant brought over a bowl of Chinese medicine and carefully helped Old Master Qiao finish the medicine. Old Master Qiao wiped his mouth with a tissue and reached out. “Where’s the sugar candy?”
The servant handed the sugar candy to Old Master Qiao, who quickly put it in his mouth to ease the bitterness in his mouth. The servant came out with a tray. When she reached the door, she bumped into Qiao Jingmo, who was about to enter. She nodded and greeted, “Third Master.”
Qiao Jingmo turned sideways. “Go out.”
The servant nodded and left quietly.
After eating the candy, Old Master Qiao was in a good mood. He looked up and saw Qiao Jingmo. “You’re here.”
Qiao Jingmo walked over and stood by the bed. Old Master Qiao gestured.
“Don’t stand there. Sit down and talk.”
Qiao Jingmo said, “I’ll just stand.”
Old Master Qiao smiled and asked, “Is Guigui asleep?”
Qiao Jingmo said, “She’s used to staying up late in the capital. She has to slowly correct her schedule.”
Old Master Qiao said, “I haven’t cared much about her for the past three years. I don’t know how many bad habits she’s been exposed to outside.”
This was inevitable.
Qiao Qiao had a lot of bad habits when she was in Xingzhou, and she usually hated being controlled by others. When she went to the Capital, there was no one around to keep an eye on her, so her bad habits would only increase. Qiao Jingmo said, “I’ll keep an eye on her and slowly change it.”
Old Master Qiao laughed. “She must have been used to being wild outside for three years. I’m afraid she can’t stand someone controlling her.”
Qiao Jingmo said, “But I still have to care.”
The smile on Old Master Qiao’s lips slowly faded as he called out earnestly,
“Jingmo.”
Qiao Jingmo replied calmly, “Yes.”
Old Master Qiao’s heart sank. He wasn’t as relaxed as before. “Guigui wasn’t happy, right?”
Qiao Jingmo replied casually, “It’s alright.”
Old Master Qiao signed. “Jingmo, our Qiao family has let you down.”
Qiao Jingmo’s lowered eyes moved, and the darkness in his eyes was almost bottomless. “You raised me, so the rise and fall of the Qiao family is naturally my responsibility. There’s no right or wrong. You don’t have to do this.”
Ever since he was adopted, Qiao Jingmo had always been very clear about his status in the Qiao family. He also knew how to repay Old Master Qiao for raising him when he grew up. Whether it was Old Master Qiao nurturing him for another purpose or out of heartache for him, none of this was important.
His home was long gone.
The Qiao family would always be his home.. Even if he had to sacrifice his life to protect the Qiao family, he would do it without hesitation!
