If it were before, Qiao Mo would have definitely joked, saying wasn't there always you.
But this time, Qiao Mo didn't make a sound, she just slightly lowered her head, afraid that he would see the mist in her eyes.
"Come on, let me take you for breakfast."
"Mm."
Jiang Jinghao wrapped her up warmly, held her by the shoulder, and opened the car door.
With red eyes, Qiao Mo showed a slight smile, gently responded, and sat in the passenger seat.
The car drove smoothly all the way, as if afraid she would get bored, he would always find something interesting to tell her. At first, Qiao Mo laughed happily, but as she laughed and laughed, her eyes turned red...
Eventually, she just absentmindedly stared at his profile.
His cheeks were gentle, unlike Fu Nancheng's cold indifference and sharpness, with a touch of considerate tenderness that put people at ease.
"Did you miss me?" Noticing her gaze, Jiang Jinghao spoke gently, looking like he was in a good mood.
"Mm."
Qiao Mo gave a soft response, feeling a bit sad inside.
...
An hour later, the two had finished breakfast.
Qiao Mo held on to Jiang Jinghao's arm, aimlessly wandering in the mall, clearly a bit distracted.
She knew she should be honest.
But after what happened, she really didn't know how to open her mouth.
She also knew, maybe she should mention breaking up.
But she really... couldn't bear to...
Jiang Jinghao seemed to notice her low spirits as well and, after rambling on a bit, he quietly became considerate, holding her coat and scarf in one hand while she clung to the other, silently standing by her side, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.
Ten minutes later.
"Jing Hao."
"Xiao Mo."
Both spoke at the same time, both slightly startled, and then Jiang Jinghao smiled, speaking gently: "You go first."
Qiao Mo looked at his smiling face and was momentarily lost.
His bright eyes reflected her figure clearly, specks of light dancing in his gaze, like a magnificent morning glow, warm and enchanting.
Qiao Mo's nose tingled, the determination she had built was suddenly shaken.
Those words at her lips just couldn't come out.
"You go first." Qiao Mo forced a smile.
"Alright." Jiang Jinghao chuckled lightly, pulling out a ring from somewhere.
Before Qiao Mo could react, she felt a coolness on her finger, and when she looked down, she was once again stunned.
On her right hand's middle finger was an exquisite, shiny diamond ring, very simple in style, the diamond not big, yet it dazzled her eyes painfully.
"This is..."
"Not a proposal, just marking a bit of territory." Jiang Jinghao smiled as he spoke, warm and gentlemanly: "Xiao Mo, don't mind it. The company is just starting up, I don't have much money, wait till I get a bigger one, I'll propose to you then."
Qiao Mo gently reached out to touch the ring, her eyes red, but she couldn't say a single word.
"Tsk tsk, what a lovey-dovey couple." Suddenly, a playful voice sounded, and several figures slowly stopped in front of Qiao Mo and Jiang Jinghao.
Qiao Mo looked up, her pupils contracting, her face turning instantly pale, subconsciously taking two steps back!
The man in front wasn't a stranger, but Fu Nancheng, whom she had seen not long ago!
In a dark suit, his thin lips lightly pressed, his expression cold, currently half-squinting his eyes, his gaze on her, icy.
The one who spoke was a man beside Fu Nancheng, wearing a white shirt, khaki suit pants, with the collar wide open, a pair of flirtatious peach blossom eyes on Qiao Mo, blatantly sizing her up, with a roguish air.
"Your woman?"
"Mr. Yan, this is my girlfriend Qiao Mo." Jiang Jinghao nodded at him, considering it a greeting.
