Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Qiao didn’t like to be alone with Shao Jingmo.

In the past, she was afraid of Shao Jingmo, but later on, she was afraid of embarrassment because she had forcefully kissed Shao Jingmo! She felt that it would be difficult for her to forget the scene of sitting on Shao Jingmo’s lap and taking the initiative to hug and kiss him in recent years.

Although it was only that once, every time she was alone with Shao Jingmo, she would think of the stupidity she had made.

Fortunately, Shao Jingmo did not restrain her after they got married. He would not sleep in the same room as her, nor did he cross the line.

She was quite at ease.

In the study.

Shao Jingmo stood in front of the bookcase and rummaged through the books.

He pulled out two books and flipped through them before putting them back. Qiao Qiao followed him in with his laptop. There was no joy on her face.

She looked up and saw Shao Jingmo standing in front of the bookcase. Originally, the light in the study was a little dim, but as he stood there, the light that could enter from the window covered him in a soft light.

It was a little unreal.

She didn’t know if she was stunned or stupefied, or if she was looking at his figure and thinking about something else. In short, she was a little silly now.

Shao Jingmo found the books he needed in the bookcase. When he turned around, he saw Qiao Qiao standing motionless at the door. He slowly said, “Why aren’t you coming in?”

Qiao Qiao came back to her senses when she heard Shao Jingmo’s voice. She pursed her lips and said, “Oh,” gently. Then she came in as fast as a turtle. The duration it took for her to walk was the duration Shao Jingmo waited for her.

In the end, she felt bad about it. She wondered why this person was so stubborn and insisted on waiting for her. In the end, she returned to her normal pace. When she stood in front of Shao Jingmo, she silently lowered her head.

Shao Jingmo said, “I’m not a teacher or your superior. Raise your head.” Qiao Qiao snorted inwardly and looked up at him obediently.

Shao Jingmo’s expression was so serious that it made Qiao Qiao feel apprehensive. However, she tried her best to maintain her composure and tell herself not to be afraid. If she was too afraid and Shao Jingmo saw through her, he might treat her badly in the future.

She didn’t control her expression as she thought this. It looked a little comical. Shao Jingmo took in the vivid expression on her face. “What are you laughing at?”

Qiao Qiao’s lips twitched. “Nothing.”

Shao Jingmo looked calm and composed. “You seem to be in a good mood. Do you feel a sense of accomplishment because you destroyed my laptop?”

Qiao Qiao felt guilty and said nice things, “No, I feel very guilty. I feel especially sorry for you.”

Shao Jingmo asked again, “Then why are you laughing?”

He had to care even if she laughed?!

Qiao Qiao carefully sized up Shao Jingmo’s expression. It was as serious as before. There was no expression on his face, and he was not high up in the air.

He just looked like he was not to be trifled with. She lowered her voice and said, “I’ve thought of something happy. There’s probably no need to report this to you, right?”

Shao Jingmo retracted his gaze and took the book he had just taken off the bookcase. He turned around and went behind his desk. “There’s no need to report. I’m just asking. You’re too shocked.”

Qiao Qiao:

The atmosphere between the two of them had never been very harmonious. There was no tense atmosphere. It was just that their magnetic fields were not quite compatible, like… opposite magnetic fields?

It was normal to be negative. It would be terrifying if the magnetic fields sucked each other. But this day would never come.

Not to mention that she would not like Shao Jingmo, but Shao Jingmo should not be interested in a shriveled little girl like her.

Shao Jingmo definitely didn’t lack women around him. At his age, it was impossible for him to be a monk alone. He must have some fixed lovers outside. As for how many he had and what they looked like, Qiao Qiao didn’t care and wouldn’t ask. That was Shao Jingmo’s own business and had nothing to do with her.

Just as she did not want Shao Jingmo to come and ask about her personal space, she would not care about Shao Jingmo’s personal space.

This was a harmonious ‘husband-and-wife relationship’.

Qiao Qiao was happy and relaxed because of her rational thoughts. At least she didn’t have to suffer from love and the misfortune of her marriage. Her marriage to Shao Jingmo was only in name. During this period, she just had to behave and save her life.

At this moment, Qiao Qiao was making all kinds of guesses in her mind.

Shao Jingmo’s voice interrupted her immersive state. “There’s another laptop over there. Remove the back cover of the laptop in your hand and take out the hard drive. Connect the USB to another computer and copy the data. If you don’t know, ask me again.”

“Oh.” Qiao Qiao listened carefully. But she’d never operated it, which meant she had no experience dismantling laptops. It sounded simple to Shao Jingmo, but it must be very troublesome to do, right? After she answered, she looked worried. “Can’t we get someone to fix the laptop? Perhaps it can be turned on after some repair? What if I spoil it after I dismantle it?”

Shao Jingmo looked up at her. His dark and deep eyes fixed on her with an inexplicable suction force.

Qiao Qiao looked away unnaturally and said weakly, “I’ve never dismantle the hard drive of a laptop. Besides, there are important documents in your laptop.

I’m afraid that if I dismantle them for you, there won’t even be a way to remedy it.”

“It won’t,” Shao Jingmo said.

Qiao Qiao said, “Huh?” Did he trust her so much?

Shao Jingmo looked at her from the shadow of the lamp. “You can fix it.”

Qiao Qiao bit her lip and remained silent. He trusted her too much! She didn’t even trust herself.

Shao Jingmo retracted his gaze and continued to focus on what he was doing. At the same time, he did not forget to remind her, “The tools are in the drawer of the coffee table. Search through them. Ask me if there’s nothing else.”

Qiao Qiao answered obediently, “Got it.”

She carried the laptop towards the sofa.

The entire study was decorated in a classical style, which was quite in line with Shao Jingmo’s temperament as a conservative noble young master. The coffee table and sofa were made of wood, and there was a set of Arhat tea sets in the middle.

She placed the laptop by the coffee table and squatted down. Following Shao Jingmo’s reminder, she opened the drawer and found a small toolbox. Then, she started to get used to it. Although she hadn’t done it before and didn’t know how, she knew to search for the tutorial on her phone.

When she looked for her cell phone, she realized that she had not brought it.

Qiao Qiao said, “God!”

She got up and eagerly walked to the door, preparing to go back and get her cell phone. Anyway, she wasn’t in a hurry to do this. She could take her time. Before she reached the door, Shao Jingmo stopped her. “Where are you going?”

Qiao Qiao turned around and saw that Shao Jingmo didn’t look up. He was still flipping through the book in his hand. She replied, “I want to use my phone to check the tutorial for dismantling hard drives, but I didn’t bring my phone. I’ll go get my cell phone now.”

Shao Jingmo still did not look up. He pointed at the phone beside his hand. “You can use mine.”

Qiao Qiao knew that he wasn’t looking at her, but she couldn’t help but shake her head. “It won’t take me long to go down. I’ll be back soon. Don’t worry, I won’t slip away. I’m still responsible.”

With that, she continued walking, her hand almost on the doorknob.

Shao Jingmo slowly looked up at Qiao Qiao. “Qiao Guigui, there’s no need to be so clear between us..”
