Chapter 566: The Beginning of Emotional Warming (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The atmosphere turned cold.

The two of them looked at each other. Shao Jingmo’s face was cold, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes. Qiao Qiao didn’t show any particularly angry reaction. She just looked at him without letting go of his tie, as if they were confronting each other.

Until Shao Jingmo said, “I’m going to rest. Let go of me.”

Qiao Qiao pretended not to hear him. Shao Jingmo looked down at her hand that was grabbing his tie. Her hand was very small, and her joints were slightly pale, indicating how hard she was using her nails to dig into the flesh of her palm. He slowly raised his other hand and covered the back of hers. His fingertips exerted a little strength and pried her hand away.

“Ah… it hurts…” Qiao Qiao frowned and shouted in pain.

Shao Jingmo immediately let go. Qiao Qiao took this opportunity to grab his tie again and muttered softly, “Don’t you know that you’re so strong? My hand hurts from your grip.”

Shao Jingmo’s face darkened. “Qiao Guigui.”

Qiao Qiao’s voice was muffled. “Tell me.”

Shao Jingmo looked down at her. “I’m tired. I’m going to rest. Let go of me and go back to sleep.”

“But I’m not sleepy.” She deliberately ignored his previous remark.

Shao Jingmo said, “I’m sleepy.”

Qiao Qiao took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then, she looked up at him. “l know we got married by agreement. I know that very well. You don’t have to remind me. Also, l… Also I don’t have to be shameless. I’m just worried that something will happen to you. After all, none of those Bai family members are good people. l, I…”

She was so anxious that tears welled up. Tears welled up in her eyes and could fall at any moment. She wanted to raise her head and force the tears back. She could not let Shao Jingmo see it. It would be embarrassing.

However, Shao Jingmo was so tall that she could see him when she looked up. She was so anxious that for a moment she didn’t know what to do. And the tears didn’t listen at all. They fell with a clatter.

Qiao Qiao was stunned and didn’t move for a moment. After perhaps three or four seconds, she thought that by reaching out and stepping unobtrusively on that tear, she could try to block the evidence that she had been crying.

At this moment, Shao Jingmo’s voice came from above. “There’s no need to step on it. I saw it.” Qiao Qiao bit her lip tightly, looking aggrieved. She didn’t dare to look up at him. He said, “I’m sorry.”

Qiao Qiao was slightly stunned. He said, “You’re not my emotional trash can. I’m keeping my distance from you, but sometimes I can’t help wanting to get close to you… I’m sorry.”

Qiao Qiao blinked her blank eyes. “Can’t help but want to get close to me?”

Shao Jingmo didn’t want to say anything else and coaxed her. “Go back and sleep.”

“Okay, but wait for me to say a few words.” Qiao Qiao was very stubborn. “I’ve been restless and distracted all afternoon. I was afraid that something would happen to you. I’ve been sleepy for a long time, but I won’t sleep. I just want to see you come back with my own eyes. Forget it. Just treat it as me being willful. Go to bed early.”

With that, she released his tie and turned to leave.

However, she had just taken a step when her body retreated uncontrollably. A force was tugging at her, and there seemed to be a whistling wind in her ears. Right on the heels of that, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing, as well as… the sound of a lock being locked.

By the time Qiao Qiao reacted, she was already pressed against the back of the door. The lights were not on in the bedroom yet. The curtains were airtight, and the moonlight could not enter at all. There was only darkness in front of her, and she could see nothing.

When one’s vision was restricted, one’s senses would be magnified infinitely at the first moment. The man’s breathing beside her ear became very heavy. The usually faint cedar fragrance became especially rich at this moment, or perhaps mixed with another smell, but it smelled strangely good.

“Qiao Guigui…” His extremely magnetic but low and hoarse voice landed beside her ear like a feather.

Thump, thump, thump.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.

After her senses were magnified, Qiao Qiao only heard Shao Jingmo’s heavy breathing and smelled the rich cedar fragrance on his body, but she ignored her racing heart.

Shao Jingmo slowly approached and placed his lips close to Qiao Qiao’s ear.

“Your heart is beating very fast.”

Qiao Qiao subconsciously wanted to push him away, but Shao Jingmo reacted faster than her. He grabbed her hand that was trying to push him away and held it behind her. This posture was very strange. Her hand was restrained behind her back, and she had no choice but to lean forward. Even her chest was raised a little, close to him.

It was a very embarrassing posture..
