Chapter 2215: Chapter 19: I Don’t Want to Be Treated as a Rival
“Of course, when have I not been serious?”
Mo Ziye looked at her, his eyes exceptionally deep.
Qin Qingqing lightly pressed her lips together, her watery eyes gazing into his, “That’s your own business. Even Uncle Mo and Aunt Wen can’t control you. Even if you gave me that power, I wouldn’t dare to control you either.”
As she spoke, there was a teasing tone in her words.
Mo Ziye let out a soft laugh.
It seemed like it was really just a joke earlier.
A playful smile appeared on his sensual lips, “You’re right, my parents can’t handle my major life decisions, so you definitely can’t.”
After that, the atmosphere between them cooled down again.
Qin Qingqing didn’t dare randomly find a topic to discuss.
Mo Ziye also remained silent, just quietly massaging her acupressure points.
Even in the silent and somewhat stifling atmosphere, time slipped by quickly.
Half an hour passed swiftly.
When Mo Ziye stood up to leave, he said to her, “Tomorrow afternoon I’ll take you to see Xin Xin.”
——
At 3:30 the next afternoon, Qin Qingqing received a call from Mo Ziye.
“I’m outside your house, come out.”
“Huh?”
Qingqing had just woken up, her brain still a bit foggy in her semi-conscious state, not quite processing what Mo Ziye had said.
In the car outside, hearing the confusion and drowsiness in her voice, Mo Ziye’s heart softened inexplicably.
His tone unconsciously gentled, “Didn’t we agree last night that I’d take you to see Xin Xin today? Come out now, I’m waiting outside for you.”
“Oh, I’ll be right out.”
When Qin Qingqing stepped out, Mo Ziye was leaning against the car, a half-burnt cigarette between his long fingers.
He took a single puff and then didn’t smoke it again.
He just let the cigarette burn, his long eyes watching the villa.
As soon as she appeared, she was locked in his sight.
Feeling his gaze on her, Qin Qingqing’s eyes flickered, and as she approached, she deliberately avoided his gaze.
“Thank you.”
Watching Mo Ziye toss the cigarette aside and walk around the car to open the passenger door for her, Qin Qingqing politely thanked him and got into the car.
As the car hit the road, Mo Ziye turned to glance at Qin Qingqing, asking casually.
“Were you just sleeping?”
“Mm.”
“Uncle Qin gave you so many shares, it’s money you won’t finish spending in a lifetime even if you don’t work.”
“…”
Qin Qingqing didn’t understand and turned to look at Mo Ziye.
What did he mean by that?
But Mo Ziye stopped talking, sitting upright and focusing on driving.
A moment later, Qin Qingqing withdrew her gaze.
“There’s snacks and drinks in the glove compartment.”
A few minutes later, Mo Ziye’s voice sounded again.
Looking out the window in a daze, Qin Qingqing turned her face towards him, “Okay.”
She wanted to refuse, but when she met Mo Ziye’s gaze, she changed her mind.
Opening the glove compartment, seeing it filled with snacks, her heart felt like it was getting tugged by a string, a slight pang of pain suddenly spreading.
“Shi Xi also likes snacks.”
The complex emotions in her heart were abruptly interrupted by a cool voice, Qin Qingqing’s eyes slightly changed, and her hand, which had been reaching out, retracted.
Looking up, she smiled at Mo Ziye, “I’ll pass.”
“Shi Xi isn’t as petty as you think, eat as you like, she won’t get upset.”
Mo Ziye looked indifferent.
It seemed like he didn’t know that his words might make her uncomfortable, or maybe he was testing her.
Qin Qingqing suppressed her smile, saying lightly, “Momo said Sister Xin Xin has left G City, and now lives with her parents. Did Brother Ziyi call her back?”
“No.”
“…So she knows Uncle Mo and Aunt Wen are back, so she’s returning…”
“She hasn’t returned to G City.”
Mo Ziye’s indifferent tone made Qin Qingqing’s face change color, staring at Mo Ziye’s handsome face for a few seconds. She frowned due to a suspicion in her heart.
Hearing Mo Ziye continue, “We’re going to S City to see her.”
“Brother Ziyi, I didn’t bring my ID card, you didn’t mention it earlier. Since she hasn’t come back, I can visit her another day.”
“Doesn’t matter if you have your ID or not, we’re not flying, we’re driving.”
“Driving that far?”
“It’s just ten hours.”
Mo Ziye turned to glance at her, then continued looking at the road ahead, saying nonchalantly, “Just like when I used to take you out to play, I drove then too. Anyway, you can drive, if I get tired, you can take over.”
Ten hours?
Qin Qingqing’s thoughts were still stuck there.
If they start now at four, driving non-stop to S City would mean reaching past midnight.
Thinking about it, she furrowed her brows even tighter, “Stop the car, I won’t go.”
“Why?”
Mo Ziye suddenly darkened his face, asking unhappily.
“The distance is too far to drive.”
Qin Qingqing said very calmly, “Even if we drive non-stop now, we’d only get to S City by two in the morning. Besides, Brother Ziyi, you have a girlfriend now. Moreover, Shi Xi seems to have some hostility towards me, I don’t want her to misunderstand, and I definitely don’t want to be seen as a rival.”
“…”
Mo Ziye’s handsome face turned ugly with her words.
He pressed his lips together, freeing one hand to push some buttons on the car screen, a sequence of numbers. A few seconds later, Shi Xi’s gentle voice rang in the car cabin.
“Hi, Ziye.”
Mo Ziye didn’t look at Qin Qingqing, nor did he glance at the screen, speaking lightly, “Aren’t you going to S City for filming?”
“Yes, the crew is going tomorrow. Ziye, let’s have dinner together tonight.”
“Pack your things now, I’ll pick you up soon, tonight we’ll head to S City first.”
“Ziye, you’re saying you’ll take me to S City, are you going on a business trip?”
Shi Xi’s undisguised delight echoed in her voice.
This was something she didn’t even dare to dream of.
Though Mo Ziye said they could try dating, he also said it was just a trial.
If during their attempt at dating he found it unsuitable, their relationship would stop.
Now, he was saying he would take her to S City, how could this not make her ecstatic?
“Mm, I have some business in S City, can you handle a ten-hour drive?”
“Yes, yes, Ziye, I can even handle a lifetime of road trips with you.”
“Then pack up and wait for me, I’ll pick you up in twenty minutes.”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you, drive carefully, don’t rush.”
Shi Xi was absolutely overjoyed; Mo Ziye had given her a massive surprise.
He was not only going with her but also driving her there. How romantic was that? The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
Driving from G City to S City, they’d be arriving by two or three in the morning.
Shi Xi opened her already packed suitcase, took out two sets of lingerie from the wardrobe, and also packed the set of chocolate-colored lingerie she bought yesterday.
