She held her numb leg and moved to the bed step by step. She picked up her phone and called Li Xiwu, who was far away in the capital.

It was very late.

Li Xiwu, who was not used to staying up late, had already fallen asleep. It was Pei Jingzhou who answered Qiao Qiao’s call and replied, “She’s asleep. If it’s not very important, you can talk about it tomorrow.” Qiao Qiao sniffed. “l can also tell you, President Pei.”

Pei Jingzhou:

In order not to affect Li Xiwu’s sleep, Pei Jingzhou went to the window to answer the call. He turned around and looked at Li Xiwu, who was sleeping soundly. “Go ahead.” Qiao Qiao began to cry sadly and didn’t say a word for a long time. Pei Jingzhou lost his patience. “Were you domestically abused?” Qiao Qiao said, “President Peo, this is more serious than domestic violence.”

Pei Jingzhou frowned. “Wait a moment.”

Qiao Qiao said, “Oh.”

Pei Jingzhou reminded her, “The premise is that you’re not allowed to cry or affect her.’

Qiao Qiao said, “l know.”

Pei Jingzhou held his cell phone and returned to the bed. He placed his hand on the bedside table and turned on the bedside lamp. The wa_rm yellow light shone on the sleeping Li Xiwu. Pei Jingzhou leaned over and got into bed. Looking at Li Xivvu’s sleeping face, he really did not want to wake her up.

It was already so late. If it was anyone else, he would have hung up long ago. But it was Qiao Qiao who called so late. Pei Jingzhou gently pushed aside the blanket and reached out to cover her eyes to block the light. He called out softly, “Honey.”

Li Xiwu was not in a deep sleep. When she heard Pei Jingzhou calling her, she slowly opened her eyes. His hand covered the light from the bedside lamp. The moment she opened her eyes, it was not blinding. When she got used to it a little, Pei Jingzhou removed his hand. “Are you sleepy?”

Li Xiwu had just been woken up from her sleep and was indeed a little sleepy. Her sleepy eyes were very relaxed. “What’s wrong?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “It’s Qiao Qiao.”

“Qiao Qiao.” Li Xiwu pushed herself up from the bed. “Where’s my cell phone?”

Pei Jingzhou reached out and took the cell phone from the bedside table. The call page was still maintained. Qiao Qiao was waiting for her.

Li Xiwu took the cell phone and pressed it to her ear. “Qiao’er.” Qiao Qiao said nothing. Li Xiwu shouted again, “Qiao’er, are you listening?”

Pei Jingzhou took a jacket and put it on Li Xiwu. “She’s in a bad mood. She must have encountered something difficult.”

Hearing Pei Jingzhou’s words, Li Xiwu’s heart skipped a beat. She gripped her cell phone tightly and was about to shout again when Qiao Qiao’s voice came. “Bae…” Her nasal voice was strong, and it was obvious that she had been crying.

Li Xiwu gathered her jacket. “What happened?”

Qiao Qiao poured out all the bitterness in her heart. After she finished speaking, her mood improved a little. Li Xiwu listened carefully and then analyzed it for Qiao Qiao. “He might be hiding something from you. It should be something very important to your Qiao family. Your parents should know,

but…

Qiao Qiao said, “But Mom and Dad won’t tell me.”

Li Xiwu pursed her lips in silence.

Qiao Qiao was not ignorant. Although she was not meticulous, her intuition had always been very accurate. She had always felt that Shao Jingmo was hiding something from her, as well as her parents and grandfather. It was as if everyone in the Qiao family knew and had the right to know.

Only she could not know!

“Actually, I can pretend not to know about these things and obediently follow their arrangements. I’ll walk the path they paved for me, but my relationship with Shao Jingmo isn’t as good as I thought.”

Li Xiwu knew that Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo were together. She was close to

Qiao Qiao. She would tell Li Xiwu almost everything that happened to her in Xingzhou. From the beginning to the end, Li Xiwu had high hopes that Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo would be together.

During this period, she had also heard Qiao Qiao share some interesting things about her relationship with Shao Jingmo. She once felt that no matter what happened to the Qiao family in the future, Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo would probably continue to hold hands like this.

However, when she heard Qiao Qiao begin to doubt her relationship with Shao Jingmo, she didn’t know how to comfort her for a moment.

“Qiao’er.”

Qiao Qiao said in a low voice, “Yes.”

Li Xiwu said, “l don’t know much about Shao Jingmo, and the only thing I know about him is from you, but I can’t determine what kind of person he is. You know best, right?”

Qiao Qiao replied, “Yes.”

Li Xiwu continued, “He was indifferent to you and made you become overcautious. This alone is enough for you to face the fate of this relationship seriously. Perhaps this is very difficult for you because I know that this is the first time you’ve fallen in love. You don’t want to and are afraid of losing completely..”
