Chapter 2245: Chapter 49: You’ve Been Back So Long, Don’t You Have Anything to Say to Me?
Mo Ziye’s words, “The money I’ve earned these years is enough for you to spend as you wish for a lifetime,” made Qin Qingqing’s heart skip a beat uncontrollably.
Combined with what he just said to Shi Xi, “She lacks nothing in terms of money.”
The implication seemed quite obvious.
However, looking at the handsome and elegant face in front of her, as well as his gentle and slight smile, Qin Qingqing felt a bit unfamiliar and distant.
This Mo Ziye was different from the Brother Ziyi she was familiar with in her memories.
“Ziyi, do you mean that the money you earn is for Qingqing to spend?”
Momo teased as she asked.
Her beautiful face had a dazzling smile, like her parents, always hoping that Ziyi and Qingqing would reconcile as before. Seeing them like this now, she felt distressed.
But both of them were proud and stubborn.
Qingqing’s emotional knot had yet to be untied, and Ziyi was unwilling to lower his head…
Mo Ziye did not immediately answer Momo, instead, he quietly looked at Qin Qingqing, as if waiting for her to express her stance.
But it was only a few seconds of waiting.
The warmth in his eyes and the slight smile on his lips vanished together.
Replaced by indifference and detachment on his handsome face.
It gave the impression of a sudden shift from spring to early winter’s chill, just in time for his phone to ring.
He stood up and left, saying, “I’ll go home first, and I’ll come back later.”
Then he walked out of the restaurant.
Qin Qingqing’s heartbeat slowly calmed down.
The hand gripping her chopsticks tightened and relaxed again, her expression somewhat dazed, lost in thought.
The atmosphere in the restaurant seemed to become strange due to Mo Ziye’s departure.
Ye Zhan’s gaze lingered on Qin Qingqing’s face for a second, then he said blandly, “Qingqing, if you keep daydreaming, we’ll already have finished eating.”
“Ah… you all just go ahead and eat, I’m not hungry.”
Mo Ziye drove home to the Qin villa, dialing Momo’s number.
He didn’t even go inside the Qin house.
And instead, he waited for them outside in the car.
“Qingqing, sit in the front.”
Momo pushed Qin Qingqing toward the passenger seat.
Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen took note of Mo Ziye’s indifference, and seeing that Qin Qingqing was not too willing to sit in the front, he kindly offered, “I’ll sit in the front, Qingqing, you can sit in the back.”
The person in the driver’s seat looked cold.
Qin Qingqing smiled and shook her head, “I’ll sit in the front.”
With that, she bent down and sat in the passenger seat.
After pulling the seatbelt across, she looked up at the man in the driver’s seat. Seeing the coldness between his eyebrows eased slightly, she smiled and called out, “Brother Ziyi, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Mo Ziye, that freak, actually cracked a faint smile again.
In the backseat, Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen were baffled.
With Mo Ziye’s fickle temperament, how did Qingqing tolerate it all these years?
The man in the driver’s seat had no idea what they were thinking, as the car hit the road, he kept his focus on the road ahead.
Occasionally, when Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen asked him something, he would simply respond with a brief sentence.
As they neared the airport, Qingqing’s phone rang.
Hearing her cheerful voice call out “Grandfather,” a glimmer passed through Mo Ziye’s eyes, and he turned to take a glance at her.
Feeling his gaze, Qingqing raised her eyes to meet his, and smiled at him.
Not sure what Grandfather Qin said over the phone, but Qingqing chuckled and coaxed, “Grandfather, I’ll come back as soon as I finish this busy period.”
Mo Ziye’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly.
The car automatically slowed down a bit.
“Grandfather, I won’t return with my cousins; I’m not unemployed now, I have to work…”
“…Grandfather, I’ll definitely consider it carefully, and I’ll let you know as soon as I decide.”
After ending the call, they reached the airport.
Mo Ziye parked the car, his narrow eyes swept over Qin Qingqing’s refined face, and said to Momo in the backseat, “Momo, go with them inside.”
“Sure, you all wait for me, I’ll be right back.”
Qin Qingqing really didn’t get out of the car.
After bidding farewell to Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen and watching them enter the airport, only Mo Ziye and Qin Qingqing were left in the car, where the atmosphere was overwhelmingly quiet.
Qin Qingqing pursed her lips, and before Mo Ziye could ask, she explained, “Grandfather asked if I want to go back to the Imperial City; they’re getting old and want me to stay by their side more.”
Mo Ziye said nothing.
Bo Yi’s lips pressed into a thin line.
His well-defined and handsome face revealed little emotion.
Nonetheless, Qin Qingqing felt the air in the car becoming thin, suffocating her slightly.
She tugged at the corner of her mouth, looking at the coldness on Mo Ziye’s brow, “Brother Ziyi, I…”
The next second, the car suddenly started.
Qin Qingqing’s body swung sharply due to inertia, causing her breathing to hitch as she quickly steadied herself.
The luxury car moved forward, passing a neighboring car, after which Mo Ziye abruptly accelerated, causing Qin Qingqing’s body to wobble slightly again.
Turning to look out the car window, she frowned and called out, “Brother Ziyi, Sister Momo hasn’t come back yet.”
“She’ll take a cab back later.”
“But…”
Before Qin Qingqing could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the sudden ringing of her phone.
It was Momo calling.
By this time, the airport was already far, far behind them.
“Qingqing, I suddenly received an assignment to take a business trip; I won’t be back until tomorrow. You and Ziyi don’t need to wait for me; we’ll go shopping together when I return from the trip.”
“Momo said she has to take a business trip.”
After ending the call, Qin Qingqing explained to Mo Ziye.
Mo Ziye didn’t respond.
Not even sparing her a glance.
His face almost spelled out the words “I am angry.”
If it were in the past, Qin Qingqing would certainly coax him and admit his fault.
But now, she could only blink, unsure how to pacify him.
Silence quietly spread throughout the car cabin, just as Qin Qingqing prepared to break this awkward silence.
Mo Ziye suddenly spoke, his voice cold and hard, “Are you going back to the Imperial City?”
“…”
Looking at his unpleasant expression, Qin Qingqing instinctively shook her head, “No, it’s Grandfather and my grandfather who hope I can go back and accompany them, saying they’re worried about me being alone in G City.”
“You survived four years abroad alone.”
“…”
Qin Qingqing was at a loss for words.
Only finding his temper frustrating.
“Besides asking you to consider the Imperial City, what else did Grandfather want you to think about?”
“Oh.”
Qin Qingqing showed a bit of embarrassment, although the other night she had sarcastically told Mo Ziye that Ye Zhan was the boyfriend her grandfather and grandfather had introduced to her.
But in this moment’s atmosphere, she couldn’t use that tone again.
She smiled awkwardly and said, “Grandfather wants me to consider Ye Zhan, saying he’s very good and outstanding.”
“Why didn’t you refuse?”
Mo Ziye turned his head, his eyes questioning her.
Qin Qingqing’s pupils narrowed slightly under his sharp gaze, “If I refused Ye Zhan, they would introduce me to other men.”
Unless she had a boyfriend or got married, otherwise, her doting elders would never stop.
Turning his gaze back to the road ahead, Mo Ziye asked quietly after a moment, “You’ve been back in the country for so long, don’t you have anything to say to me?”
