Chapter 1593: Chapter 1593 Every Moment with You (4)
This is what truly childish looks like!
Xia Chuqing made the bed for him, placing the quilt and pillow neatly.
She’s used to doing these things at his place, so she can do them effortlessly now and even remembers his habits clearly.
Xiao Mo closed the door and watched her make the bed, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"There’s no heating in the south. I’ve turned on the air conditioning for you. Remember to cover up with the quilt, don’t catch a cold," Xia Chuqing said.
"Okay."
"You’re deliberately trying to sleep over at my house, aren’t you?" Xia Chuqing crossed her arms and looked at him.
"Your mom already agreed, unless you’re going to drive me away?"
"You win."
Xia Chuqing drew the curtains and began to leave.
But Xiao Mo grabbed her hand, pulling her onto the bed, leaving them very close to each other.
"Xiao Mo, shameless, what are you doing, let go!" Xia Chuqing lowered her voice and warned him.
"Want to sleep together?" Xiao Mo raised an eyebrow.
"If you’re lonely, I can call Miss for you." Xia Chuqing glared at him.
"Then go ahead and call one over, and if you can’t, you stay with me."
"..." Xia Chuqing pushed him, "Get up quickly, if my mom sees that I haven’t gone downstairs for so long, she’s going to ask questions."
"Don’t worry, your mom’s been through this, she’ll understand."
"Aren’t you shameless? The Vice President of the Shen Group is this shameless, does your boss know? Do your subordinates know?"
"My boss? He’s even more shameless than I am. As for subordinates, wouldn’t you know?"
"Let go!" Xia Chuqing got anxious and shouted at him.
"Considering I brought you back and I’m really tired, why don’t you consider giving me a kiss..."
"Should I kiss everyone who brings me back home? Thanks for enlightening me, Mr. Xiao."
Xia Chuqing argued with him, seriously, just now downstairs he looked so dignified, but as soon as he came up, he turned into a beast.
"And you’re so reluctant?" Xiao Mo simply lowered his head and gently pecked her lips.
"..." Xia Chuqing blushed – what on earth was this.
She hadn’t even agreed to be his girlfriend, yet he was already making moves.
Xiao Mo didn’t persist too much, a quick peck contented him, and he released her.
Xia Chuqing quickly ran downstairs, rushing into the kitchen to help her mom with chores, her heart only calming down slowly after that.
"Chuqing, your boss is quite something. So young, what’s his position in your company?" Mother Xia asked.
"Vice President."
"Looking at his age, he shouldn’t be over thirty, right? Already a vice president, truly impressive!"
"After this New Year, he’ll be thirty-two." Xia Chuqing replied disdainfully, "Not young at all."
"You girl, how do you speak? You seem to have a strong opinion about Mr. Xiao."
"No, I was just saying." Xia Chuqing lowered her head to wash the dishes; indeed, her mom had been won over by Xiao Mo already.
"Is he married?"
"No, but lots of girls are after him." Xia Chuqing replied quickly.
"Oh." Mother Xia thought that made sense.
She quite liked Xiao Mo at first glance; such a young, handsome, and successful man was bound to have many pursuing him.
"Your daughter here surely doesn’t stand a chance, plus I don’t like him." Xia Chuqing added.
"You still expect to have a chance? For Mr. Xiao to fancy someone like you, how blind would he have to be?" Mother Xia tapped her head.
"Oh..." Xia Chuqing pouted, truly feeling like her own mother didn’t have much faith in her daughter.
"In the future, follow Mr. Xiao seriously at work, ask if you don’t understand, and don’t throw childish tantrums. It’s fine at home, but it won’t do at the office."
"I know." Xia Chuqing pursed her lips; her mom just loved to nag.
Outside, Xia Chuqing’s grandparents were chatting and checking out the gifts she brought them.
"Chuqing, you picked some fine cigarettes. Who would’ve thought you knew how to pick cigarettes? But these are quite pricey, right? Don’t spend so much next time." Her grandpa laughed joyfully.
He loved smoking, and he hadn’t expected Xia Chuqing to buy cigarettes for him, let alone such good ones.
Xia Chuqing didn’t know how to buy cigarettes; they were bought by Xiao Mo when they went shopping last time. She thought he bought them for himself, but he later let her take them all home.
Thinking of it like this, this man really had planned it all along.
He probably already knew that her grandpa loved smoking, her mom liked pearls, and her grandma enjoyed various silk fabrics.
Because, he really bought a lot of things while shopping last time!
Cigarettes, alcohol, pearl jewelry, silk fabrics, he bought everything.
At that time, she was curious about why he bought so many things; his explanation was that his parents liked them.
Later, she didn’t ask much more, she really didn’t expect...
This man is so seasoned in his schemes; she had to be more careful in the future to avoid falling into his traps unwittingly.
"This silk material is nice too, perfect for making clothes for your grandpa some day," her grandma said, "The pattern is beautiful too. Chuqing, you’re spending too much, don’t buy such expensive things next time. I recognize this silk brand, I hardly ever splurged on it before."
A table full of gifts made them so delighted, all thinking their granddaughter had become thoughtful and grown up.
Xia Chuqing knew these were costly, and if Xiao Mo claimed he bought them for her family, she would refuse to accept them.
All these gifts cost more than she could afford even with several months’ salary.
"As long as you like them," Xia Chuqing smiled and said.
Yet, her mom knew her daughter better.
She glanced at the gifts on the table and quietly asked Xia Chuqing in the kitchen, "Did you buy all these with your own salary?"
Xia Chuqing calmly replied, "Yes, and with my scholarship."
"These things can’t be bought without tens of thousands. You’ve only been working for less than a month, right?" her mom said seriously.
Her grandparents could be fooled, but her mom had seen the world.
In the past, people would give gifts to Xia Yongfang, and they were always expensive presents like these.
"Salaries can be advanced, and I haven’t spent my scholarship extravagantly, I’ve been saving it. It’s rare to buy gifts for the family, so accept them, mom."
"Chuqing, don’t follow those vain girls outside."
"I know, your daughter isn’t like that."
"I’ll trust you this once. If I find out you’ve gone astray, I won’t let it go."
After Xia Yongfang’s incident, her hopes were all pinned on Xia Chuqing.
This daughter had always been good, never worried her from childhood to adulthood, but precisely because she was inexperienced, her mom feared she might get fooled.
Mother cautiously asked, "Are you dating anyone?"
Xia Chuqing shook her head, "No, I’ll wait until my job is stable before finding someone."
"Yes, work hard and stay sharp."
"I know, your daughter isn’t that easy to trick."
"I see Mr. Xiao cares about you; you can consult him if anything comes up. Obviously, he has much more social experience than you."
"He’s full of tricks!" Xia Chuqing couldn’t help but mutter.
