C79 Second time (1/2)

Two hours later, Qu Biao's anesthetic was over and his wounds started to hurt.

But he endured it and asked Shi Xingcan in a small voice, ”Have we been brought out by the Uncle Qin?”

Shi Xingcan smiled and nodded: ”We will temporarily stay at Uncle Qin's home.”

”Temporarily?” Qu Biao looked at her doubtfully, and thought for a while, ”Can we only stay for a short period of time?”

Shi Xingcan nodded: ”After you recover, we'll have to go live somewhere else.”

”Where to?”

”Let's go to a new place, we'll go together.”

Qu Biao nodded obediently as he looked at the ceiling in confusion.

Shi Xingcan suddenly felt her heart ache. It was obvious that she was the one who wanted to snatch the child from Qu Zhong's hands without a care, but she couldn't give the child a better life than before.

She held Qu Biao's hand and asked: ”Do you miss your mother?”

Qu Biao looked at her eyebrows, which were slightly lowered due to guilt and sadness, and shook his head. ”I just want father.”

Shi Xingcan's heart suddenly softened. ”Do you want to give daddy a call?”

Qu Biao shook his head: ”I don't have the strength to talk right now.”

Shi Xingcan held onto his soft little hand, her heart a mess of softness.

After pacifying Qu Biao, Shi Xingcan went downstairs to eat dinner with Qin Yanmo.

The atmosphere was much better than what she had imagined. Qin Yanmo did not take the opportunity to tease her, nor did he reveal any belittling or complacent look. He looked at her as if he was looking at a friend worthy of respect, or … Partner?

Shi Xingcan did not want to think too much into it. After hurriedly taking a bath, she wore a blue robe and wiped her hair as she walked out of her room. She then met Qin Yanmo who had also came out from his bedroom.

Shi Xingcan blushed so much that she avoided his gaze and asked: ”Why did you come out?”

Qin Yanmo stared intently at Shi Xingcan. It was unknown whether her face was covered with sweat or water, but the sweat flowed down her neck all the way to her thin clothes. Her originally loose clothes were now sticking to her body due to the moisture, revealing a beautiful curve.

Looking at the faintly discernible exquisite collarbone, Qin Yanmo's gaze grew a little deeper.

Although Shi Xingcan didn't know what the meaning of his gaze was, she could still feel the danger within and was slightly afraid, so she shrunk back a little.

Qin Yanmo quickly adjusted his eyes, he couldn't let a moment of impatience destroy his efforts for so long.

He lowered his gaze and said, ”There's something I need to take care of.”

”You're going out?” Shi Xingcan looked at his grey housedress as if he was about to go out.

”Just go to the study room for a video conference,” Qin Yanmo explained. ”There's a small problem with the companies overseas.”

Shi Xingcan nodded, and said with some admiration: ”You're really amazing.”

Qin Yanmo had heard many praises in the past, but none of them could make him as happy as he was today.

Even the expression in her eyes had become much gentler than usual. Qin Yanmo smiled and asked her: ”Are you going to take a look?”

Shi Xingcan was a little surprised and asked: ”Can I go?”

There must be a lot of secrets in the study and bedroom, right?

Qin Yanmo smiled and said, ”I've already invited you, why not?”

Qin Yanmo's study was very big, even bigger than Qu Zhong's master bedroom. Several bookshelves made of red sandalwood occupied an entire wall's worth of seats, a computer was placed on the desk, and there was even a sofa.

Other than that, there was nothing else. It was much simpler than what Shi Xingcan had imagined.

Seeing her distracted expression, Qin Yanmo smiled and asked: ”Is it different from what you imagined?”

Shi Xingcan nodded, ”I thought it would be the same as the science fiction films.”

She walked up to the well-lit French windows. She could not see much of the scenery at night, and by the light of the moon, she could see that there were a lot of vegetation outside.

Shi Xingcan touched the Tigerskin Orchid by the window, and was immediately lost in thought.

Qin Yanmo sat in front of his computer, his back was ramrod straight. Even the gray household uniform could not conceal the aura he was emitting.

A voice quickly came over from the computer as if it was very anxious.

Qin Yanmo replied in a calm manner, his calm voice seemed to have the effect of pacifying people's hearts, causing the people on the other side of the video to quickly quieten down.

Shi Xingcan stood by the window and listened quietly. Their words were not English, but a little language.

Qin Yanmo's voice was originally low and magnetic, it sounded like an elegant cello when she chatted with them.

Shi Xingcan stood in the middle of the room and looked at Qin Yanmo with some curiosity.

Qin Yanmo waved at her. Shi Xingcan hesitated for a moment, then walked to his side.

Shi Xingcan stared at his cold face, the back of his warm hands suddenly covered up.

Her body trembled in fear and she subconsciously wanted to retract her hand, but Qin Yanmo was even faster, his strength was so strong that she could almost break his hand bones.

As if a century had passed, Qin Yanmo ended the meeting, pressed the video screen, went close to Shi Xingcan's ear and whispered: ”You have been waiting for a long time now, right?”

When the warm breath landed on his ears, Shi Xingcan was startled, but immediately after, his entire body shivered, and his hair stood on end.

Qin Yanmo was so amused by her reaction that he turned off the computer while smiling.

Just as Shi Xingcan reacted, her breath went from her ears to her mouth.

For a time, her world was left with only his eyes that were even darker than ink, accepting his request in a daze.
