Qiao Qiao tried to stop Shao Jingmo from continuing to help her undress, so she reached out and held Shao Jingmo’s hand. “Little Uncle, I can do it myself.”
“Didn’t you say that your limbs are weak and you want me to help you?” His voice was cold, and the hand holding her calf did not let go.
Qiao Qiao panicked. “I feel strong enough now. I can do it myself.”
Shao Jingmo looked expressionless as if he did not hear her. His fingertips lingered on her snow-white skin, caressing it neither gently nor heavily. He repeated it a few times, without pattern, but it was impossible to ignore. And there was no next move.
Qiao Qiao bit her lip tightly. Her legs were itchy from Shao Jingmo’s touch, and he had not let go. Now, not only were her legs itchy, but her heart was also itchy.
Fortunately, he still had some conscience and knew that her knee still hurt. He let go of her calf and slowly removed the stockings, setting them aside. Then he checked the bump on her knee for her.
The atmosphere was silent the entire time.
He didn’t say a word, and Qiao Qiao didn’t dare to say anything to break the silence and let him examine her.
“No broken skin,” he said flatly.
Taking advantage of this moment, Qiao Qiao quickly retracted her leg. “It doesn’t hurt as much as before. It should be fine.’
“Don’t move,” he warned. Qiao Qiao paused in the act of retracting her leg, then obediently stopped moving. Shao Jingmo stood up and took out his phone to make a call. He instructed, “Bring me an ice pack.”
When Qiao Qiao heard that Shao Jingmo had called someone to send an ice pack over, she knew without asking that it was for her. She quickly said, “Little Uncle, this is too troublesome. I’m really fine. I don’t need an ice pack.” “Be quiet,” he reminded her.
Qiao Qiao was a little afraid and obediently shut her mouth. After Shao Jingmo finished giving his instructions, he hung up.
Naturally, the wait wouldn’t be short. Qiao Qiao hoped that the person who delivered the ice pack would run faster. She sat obediently and didn’t dare to move. In any case, she felt all kinds of uncomfortable, but she didn’t dare to show it too obviously.
“Don’t be too restrained in front of me.” Shao Jingmo could tell that she was uncomfortable. “Just be yourself. I won’t restrain you. At least not when it’s just the two of us.”
Qiao Qiao said awkwardly, “I’m not restrained.”
Shao Jingmo looked down at her. “Your body is almost frozen like a stone statue. This is called unrestrained?”
Qiao Qiao choked. She moved her body slightly, but she was still not comfortable. She frowned slightly. She did not know that Shao Jingmo had seen this small change in her expression. He turned and walked away, giving her privacy.
As soon as he left, Qiao Qiao immediately relaxed a lot. She didn’t even dare to put away the stockings beside her just now. Taking advantage of Shao Jingmo!s departure, she quickly put away the stockings and stuffed them into her bag.
She guessed that her and Shao Jingmo’s eight characters were incompatible. Fortunately, the two of them were only married in name. If they were really married, their eight characters would probably be in deep trouble.
A few minutes later, Jingcheng knocked on the door and entered. He handed the ice bag he had specially found to Shao Jingmo. “Third Master, here’s what you wanted.”
Shao Jingmo was smoking. He exhaled a mouthful of smoke and stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray. He reached out to take the ice pack. “Send lunch here at noon.’
For once, Jing Cheng was slow. “Third Master, should I send your lunch here
Shao Jingmo nodded and walked towards Qiao Qiao, who was sitting on the sofa with the ice pack.
Jingcheng scratched the back of his head and watched Third Master walk towards Missy. He really couldn’t figure out what was going through Third Master’s mind. Third Master clearly liked Missy very much, but he wouldn’t let Missy know, and Missy was afraid of Third Master. No matter how hard he tried, this relationship didn’t seem to work.
Now, Third Master had even arranged for Missy to enter the company. Although it seemed that she was starting from the bottom, he had directly shown Missy the account book. Could it be that Third Master was planning to nurture Missy to take over the entire Deep Blue Corporation in the future?
However, this was unrealistic. With Missy’s qualifications and ability, she could not control the entire Deep Blue Corporation.
Moreover, Third Master had worked so hard to control Deep Blue in his hands. It was unlikely that he would give it to Miss easily. As expected, Third Master’s thoughts were not easy to guess at his age. Jingcheng did not dare to look at the sofa anymore and turned to walk out.
On the sofa.
Shao Jingmo approached Qiao Qiao with the ice pack. He squatted down and said, “It’s not broken. The swelling will subside after applying it. It won’t hurt that much.’
Qiao Qiao reached out her hand. “I’ll do it myself..”
