Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2233: Chapter 37: I Used to Carry You Down the Mountain

“A business trip?”

Qin Qingqing’s delicate, fair face momentarily displayed several expressions.

Her previously lowered head suddenly lifted, nearly bumping into Mo Ziye’s face.

Mo Ziye instinctively leaned back slightly, although they didn’t collide, the close proximity entwined their breaths.

The air subtly tinged with an inexplicable nuance.

“Yes, a business trip.”

He gazed deeply into her eyes.

“What if I had won?”

Qin Qingqing suddenly backed up two steps, maintaining a safe distance and asked.

Now she finally understood.

He had called her early in the morning to climb the mountain and placed a bet for this purpose.

Mo Ziye’s eyes flickered, a faint smile curved at the corner of his mouth, elegant and dignified, causing Qin Qingqing to feel momentarily dazed.

Eighteen years by his side, she had seen this smile numerous times.

Yet now, seeing it left her somewhat bewildered.

“Could you really beat me?”

Mo Ziye asked casually.

Yet he was certain he would win today’s competition.

Qin Qingqing pressed her lips together, speaking stiffly, “I can agree to go back to work at Haochen, but I won’t go on a business trip.”

“Why?”

“I don’t want your girlfriend to misunderstand, and I don’t want to be left alone in a foreign place again.”

“Qingqing, were you angry that day?”

Mo Ziye’s voice suddenly softened, becoming gentle, with a hint of helplessness and the familiar indulgence of the past.

Qin Qingqing’s heart suddenly tightened.

Instinctively denying it, “I wasn’t angry, I just don’t want something like that to happen again, so I won’t go on a business trip with you.”

“Shi Xi won’t go this time.”

“I just won’t go.”

Qin Qingqing had a look that said no matter what he said, she wouldn’t go, feeling displeased and not wanting to comply.

She didn’t realize her behavior seemed like jealousy.

Mo Ziye glanced at her, narrowing his eyes, “Do you want to be with Ye Zhan?”

“What does Ye Zhan have to do with this?”

Qin Qingqing frowned, a hint of displeasure emerging on her small face.

Mo Ziye huffed, “Does it have nothing to do with him? Who was it last night that said Ye Zhan is the boyfriend chosen by Grandpa and Grandfather, the man they all approve of.”

At this point, his face turned somewhat cold.

His gaze solemnly observed Qin Qingqing as she subtly retreated, standing a few steps away from him.

His chest felt suffocatingly uncomfortable, “You don’t want to go on a business trip with me, isn’t it to cultivate feelings with Ye Zhan instead?”

“Yes, I almost forgot until you mentioned it.”

Qin Qingqing appeared suddenly aware, “Brother Ziyi, didn’t you say before that you wanted to introduce me to a boyfriend? If I like Ye Zhan, then I won’t need to trouble you anymore, what’s wrong with that?”

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere between the two became frozen.

The air seemed to have halted because of it.

Mo Ziye’s originally cold and clear eyes were covered with a layer of frost, his gaze towards Qin Qingqing was cold and sharp.

It was as if returning to a scene four years ago.

When she broke up with him and when she was going abroad.

He looked at her like this.

Now, he was looking at her with that same gaze again.

Qin Qingqing couldn’t stand the way he looked at her, wanted to say something, but before the words left her mouth, Mo Ziye’s phone rang.

He tightly pressed his lips as he took out his phone.

Upon seeing the caller ID, his gaze shifted.

His long finger pressed the answer button, the coldness between his brows replaced by a slight coolness, his calm voice spilled from his thin lips, “Hello, Shi Xi.”

Qin Qingqing lowered her eyelids, her gaze falling on her toes.

Not knowing what Shi Xi said on the other end, she heard Mo Ziye ask, “What time is the flight?”

Pressing her lips together, Qin Qingqing turned around and walked down the mountain.

Behind her, Mo Ziye’s gaze followed her figure, the warmth in his eyes cooled once again as she turned to leave.

Qin Qingqing had taken a shortcut up the mountain to try to win.

But she ended up losing.

Going down the mountain, she abandoned the small path and took the “main road.”

After descending ten or so steps of stone stairs, her phone rang as well.

It was a call from Tang Jinchen.

Qin Qingqing answered the call, and before she could speak, Tang Jinchen’s voice came through, “Qingqing, where did you go so early in the morning?”

“I went out to exercise.”

“Ah Zhan and I are waiting for you to come back for breakfast, hurry back.”

“Cousin, you don’t need to wait for me for breakfast, I ran quite far, it will be a long time before I return.”

“How far could you have run?”

Tang Jinchen seemed skeptical.

Qingqing chuckled lightly, “I ran to the top of the mountain, is that far enough?”

As she looked down the mountain, descending wasn’t as tiring as climbing, but her legs felt a bit weak.

She couldn’t be fast.

Footsteps came from behind.

She hung up the phone.

Mo Ziye’s voice sounded from behind, “If you’re not going on a business trip, then start working at Haochen today.”

Qin Qingqing stopped in her tracks, turning to look at him.

His brows were sharp, his expression cool.

There was no anger, nor any excess emotion.

Giving her a sense that just now was merely a hallucination.

She blinked and nodded in agreement, “Okay, I’ll start working today.”

The voice that slipped from her red lips was equally plain and gentle.

Mo Ziye lowered his eyes, his gaze swept across her legs, he asked lightly, “Can you get down the mountain?”

“…”

Qin Qingqing was momentarily stunned.

After realizing it, a hint of embarrassment for her past whims flashed across her delicate face.

In the past, when she climbed to the top, Mo Ziye often carried her down.

The reason was simple, her legs were weak and she couldn’t make it down.

Back then, he would always indulgently pat her head, calmly squatting down amidst others’ teasing, letting her climb onto his back.

“I can do it.”

Mo Ziye obviously remembered the past, his brows touched with warmth, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

“In the past, you weren’t so well-behaved, always unable to get down once you reached the top, and then I carried you down.”

“That’s because you spoiled me, always indulging me.”

When she saw him walk ahead, she followed, instinctively continuing his words.

The next second, she was frustrated enough to want to bite her own tongue.

Why did she speak so quickly?

In front of her, Mo Ziye seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, turning to look at the hand she raised to hit her own mouth.

His gaze deepened as he looked at her, “For those years, I always treated you as my future wife, who else would I indulge besides you?”

“…”

The topic suddenly stalled.

The atmosphere once again turned awkward.

Qin Qingqing wanted to avert her gaze, not looking into Mo Ziye’s eyes, but his pitch-black eyes seemed to have a powerful magnetic field, deeply attracting her and making it impossible for her to look away.

“But four years ago, you ended our relationship.”

After a long pause.

Mo Ziye’s cold voice startled Qin Qingqing from her dazed mood.

He was the first to avert his gaze.

Turning around, he waited a few seconds, noticing that she hadn’t moved.

He then turned back to her and said, “Let’s go, if we don’t get down the mountain, Tang Jinchen and Ye Zhan will think I’ve detained you.”
