Qiao Qian'an's gaze softened, and he said to her with particular concern, "You're so naive, you need to be more careful in the workplace. Don't be so foolish as to be taken advantage of and end up helping others count their money!"
"..."
How could she possibly count money? Someone else would be counting the money for her, okay?
Someone as clever as me, who could possibly outsmart her?
Mo Xiaoqing blinked, tilted her head slightly, and smiled with unspoken confidence. "Do you think anyone can outsmart me?"
Qiao Qian'an looked at her proud little face with her chin raised and couldn't help but laugh. His words were tinged with a hint of doting and amusement, "It's best if you won't be schemed against."
This little girl is so clever and cunning that few people can figure her out. I wonder if her temperament is good or bad now.
In short, the best thing for him is that she can protect herself.
Mo Xiaoqing blinked her eyes cutely, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now?"
"Um."
She had just breathed a sigh of relief when, to her surprise, Qiao Qian suddenly took a few big strides to catch up, which startled her.
"How did you get behind us?"
Her disgusted expression made him both annoyed and amused.
The little girl always seemed to avoid him like the plague, especially with her startled reaction just now, as if he were a ghost coming to take her life!
Qiao Qian'an felt a pang of inexplicable melancholy, but his expression remained unchanged, revealing nothing unusual. "If you encounter any trouble, come find me!"
Mo Xiaoqing blinked, "Okay, okay, I know!"
Qiao Qian'an could tell from her expression that she was just going through the motions and hadn't taken his words to heart.
He sighed helplessly, his eyes filled with gentleness.
For Mo Xiaoqing like this.
He was completely powerless against her charm; looking at her soft and adorable appearance, he would always feel a little itchy and couldn't resist reaching out to pinch her pretty little cheeks.
Seeing that he was indeed alright this time, Mo Xiaoqing walked away cheerfully.
At the same time, she was also a little puzzled, because Qiao Qian'an didn't seem to have said anything serious when he called her over. Could it be that he just wanted to tell her those two sentences?
She felt that Qiao Qian'an was doing increasingly strange things lately, and everything he did seemed inexplicable...
As a result, he said those words in the morning, and problems arose in the afternoon.
As it was almost time to leave work, he originally intended to ask Mo Xiaoqing if she wanted him to give her a ride home.
As a result, she found that almost everyone else in her department had left, and she was the only one left, slumped limply on the desk.
As he strode towards her desk, he bumped into a girl coming out of the break room.
Fortunately, Qiao Qian'an reacted quickly and stopped in his tracks.
Lin Shanshan gripped the water glass tightly in her hand. Because of what had happened, a few drops of water spilled from the glass and dripped onto her hand, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
She reflexively looked up at the man who was a head taller than her, and was a little confused for a moment because the light was backlit from her angle, so she couldn't see Qiao Qian'an's features very clearly.
She asked, somewhat stunned, "Who are you?"
Qiao Qian'an smiled calmly. His excellent manners prevented him from getting angry with her, and his words were gentle and polite: "I came to see Momo."
Lin Shanshan took two more steps and now she could see Qiao Qian'an's face clearly. What kind of face was it?
It should be described as a masterpiece of nature.
She had seen many celebrities' faces, but none seemed as handsome as his, especially considering how he had subconsciously placed his hand on his lower abdomen to create distance between them.
It was just a very simple action, yet it was performed like that of a Western aristocrat, exuding an air of nobility and aloofness.
Her mind went blank, completely lost and unable to process what was happening. She watched helplessly as Qiao Qian'an finished speaking, and without waiting for a response, he simply walked past her and strode towards Mo Xiaoqing's desk.
Then, she belatedly uttered an "oh."
Mo Xiaoqing's usually smiling and bright face was now tightly furrowed as she slumped over her desk, looking lifeless.
Seeing him made her heart skip a beat, and her eyes immediately filled with heartache and pity.
He placed the back of his right hand on Mo Xiaoqing's forehead; it was a little warm, but still at a normal body temperature.
So it doesn't feel like a fever.
Qiao Qian'an frowned.
Could it be a cold?
But when I saw Momo at noon, she didn't seem to be behaving unusually!
Lin Shanshan stared blankly as Qiao Qian'an touched Mo Xiaoqing's forehead and then her cheek, continuing to hold her water glass in her hands.
Qiao Qian'an was not a doctor, so he couldn't figure out what illness Mo Xiaoqing had died from.
Then he remembered there was a wooden stump next to him. He tilted his head and looked sharply at Lin Shanshan, who hadn't said a word. His words were chilling: "What's wrong with her?"
Lin Shanshan froze, startled by his gaze. For some reason, she felt that Qiao Qian'an's eyes were telling her that if she couldn't give a clear answer, he would kill her.
Feeling a little uneasy, she replied immediately without delay, "Momo's stomach is upset and hurts a lot. She seemed to have fainted from the pain just now. I'm wondering if I should take her to the hospital."
