Chapter 25 - Motivating Mrs. Shaw

By the time Qiao Mo received Xiao Yan's call, he had already boarded the bus and was on his way back to Hai Cheng University.

After answering the phone, Qiao Mo could not help but ask, "Who was the girl who answered your phone just now?"

Xiao Yan twisted the spot between his brows. Song Xia knew that the child was lying so he asked in a low voice, "What is it?"

He understood that Xiao Yan didn't want to answer this question, so he went straight to the main point. "Your mother wants me to accompany her to attend a charity dinner this weekend. She wants to make our relationship public."

Xiao Yan's voice was cold as he said, "Reject."

"You make it sound so easy. My identity doesn't allow me to reject her."

The man took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said, "Think of a solution."

Qiao Mo: "…"

This man really knew how to push things towards her.

"Public relations are not bad for me anyway."

Jomo was trying to scare him.

Xiao Yan wasn't threatened by a twenty-two year old girl. He sneered, "You don't want your father's medical fees?"

Qiao Mo secretly slapped his forehead and felt vexed. "The qipao that your mother custom-made for me was torn by Su Hua."

"I know."

The man hung up after saying these two words.

Qiao Mo's eyes were wide open as he looked at the hung up phone's screen. That's it?

After "I got it", there was no other indication?

He threw any questions at her.

After Xiao Yan hung up from Qiao Mo's call, he instructed Zhao Qian, "Miss Xiao often customizes dresses at the High Tour in Heisley. Qiao Mo's dresses should also be customized there. Go and check them out, then customize the same gown and send it to his wife before the weekend."

"Alright." Zhao Qian frowned and asked, "Boss, about the matter of getting rid of my wife's quota, do you need to consider it again?"

Qiao Mo was a good girl, and Zhao Qian was slightly sympathetic.

Xiao Yan raised his brows as he looked coldly at Zhao Qian, "What, do you feel sorry for your wife?"

"No, no."

Zhao Qian knew that he cared too much and immediately shut his mouth, not daring to speak any good words on Qiao Mo's behalf.

"Compared to studying abroad, Jomo is more suitable to graduate and work for the Xiao family. As Mrs. Xiao, she has the obligation to help out at the company."

Zhao Qian wiped away his sweat. There were so many elite higher-ups in the Xiao family, how could he let his wife, a student that had just graduated, handle this?

This was a man's excuse, and his face didn't turn red nor did his heart jump.

Xiao Yan lazily leaned on the carved railing and said to the little figure that was hiding behind the door, "Is it fun to eavesdrop on me while hiding behind the door?"

Song Xia then hesitantly walked out from behind the door. She held onto the door frame and stood there, timidly saying, "Brother Xiao did away with Sister Qiao's quota because you wanted to keep Sister Qiao by your side, right?"

It was a rhetorical question, but it carried a tone of statement.

Xiao Yan squinted his eyes, not showing any emotion. "Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

A pair of black eyes stared fixedly at her. Song Xia was startled. Her small hand gripped the doorframe even tighter.

"I'll return home tomorrow. Take good care of yourself. As for the operation, we won't have to wait too long. "

Song Xia bit his lips and said, "I want to return with Big Brother Xiao."

Xiao Yan was stunned. His black eyes narrowed as he stared at Song Xia's face, "What did you say?"

"I want to return with Big Brother Xiao. I want to see what Miss Jo looks like."

"Haven't you seen the photo before?"

Song Xia said with a pout, "That's not enough."

She just wanted to see what kind of outstanding woman was worthy of a man like Xiao Yan.

The next morning, Song Xianzhi had just woken up. He walked to Xiao Yan's room and knocked on the door, "Big brother Xiao."

No one answered.

She knocked a few more times. "Big Brother Xiao?"

She simply pushed open the door without authorization. The room was empty and her heart skipped a beat. There was only one thought in her mind, Xiao Yan had left!

She hurriedly looked downstairs, but there was no one there either. Xiao Yan and Assistant Zhao left together!

… ….

Hai Cheng University.

When Jomo received the same qipao that she had received from the store in Heathri, she was slightly surprised. When she saw the name of the sender, her fingers trembled.

That man kept saying that he had solved the problem himself, but he had actually dealt with it for her. His gloomy mood these past few days had finally improved a lot.

She carried the qipao back to the dormitory with a sweet smile on her face.

The roommates gathered around and saw that her face was flushed. "We're in love!"

Qiao Mo's face turned red. "No way!"

Other than Rolo, no one else knew about her marriage.

She didn't intend to say that they were secretly married and that it would be fine to stay hidden for the rest of the day.

She had just put down her qipao when her cell phone rang.

When he saw the caller ID, he was actually a bit flustered. He pressed his chest before answering.

"Did you receive the qipao?"

The man's voice was deep.

"Yes, I did."

Qiao Mo's voice was filled with an undetectable joy.

"I just got off the plane. Come and pick me up."

There was no other meaning to the man's formal tone.

It never occurred to Jomo that he would return before the weekend. "Didn't you say you were going on a business trip for a week? Why are you back so quickly? "

"What? You have an objection?"

How could Qiao Mo dare to object? He held his phone and said, "Is there no car coming to pick you up?"

It was not worthwhile for her to pick him up by bus for a long time.

"Jomo, I'm not discussing it with you."

The man spoke coldly.

Qiao Mo looked at the screen. After a few days on the job, this man's temper was getting worse. He could only agree: "Alright, I'll pick you up." If you are like this, I really will think that you like me. "

"This is the most basic duty of a wife."

Qiao Mo: "…"

Obligations, obligations, obligations … His mouth was full of rights and obligations.

You can't say anything nice.

Qiao Mo rushed to the airport. Xiao Yan had already been sitting in the VIP lounge for about an hour with a dark expression on his face.

Qiao Mo subconsciously shrunk his neck. He was really afraid that this man would go crazy.

However, along the way, Xiao Yan was probably really angry. He pursed his lips and didn't have the slightest intention of ignoring her.

After getting on Maybach, Jomo could not help but reach out with his small hand to tug on his sleeve, poking his head over and carefully asked: "Are you angry? I told you in advance that I wouldn't be arriving at the airport too soon. "

The man didn't say a word, but continued to stare straight ahead.

Qiao Mo tried even harder and used his small hands to pull at his sleeves. "Mister Xiao? "Don't be angry, huh?"

The man frowned slightly on his ice-cold face.

Qiao Mo knew that Xiao Yan was a little moved. He moved closer to Xiao Yan and smiled: "Professor Xiao? You must be tired from your business trip these past few days, right? "

The man coldly snorted. "That won't happen."

Seeing that he was still ignoring him, Qiao Mo threw his sleeves away and sat back in his seat. He sighed and said, "Hey, there's no class tomorrow Saturday, so I suddenly want to sleep until I wake up naturally."

Qiao Mo was very smart. He knew how to make Xiao Yan happy.

As expected, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and the corner of his eye twitched. He slowly turned his body to the side and asked, "Are you sure?"

Qiao Mo innocently blinked his large eyes and obediently nodded towards him.

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed her chin, "In the few days I've been gone, do you lack love?"

Qiao Mo narrowed his eyes. His ability to act good increased day by day. "Then, do you want to nourish me?"

When Qiao Mo said this, he almost bit his tongue to commit suicide.

The man's body suddenly stuck close to her, wrapping around her little body. He pinched her chin and sneered, "Tonight, I will properly nourish Madam Xiao."

… ….

Xiao Yan didn't immediately bring Qiao Mo back to the Xiao family's villa. Instead, he directly carried Qiao Mo to the Xiao family.

Qiao Mo followed behind Xiao Yan and asked in puzzlement, "Didn't you say that you don't want to expose my relationship with you? Aren't you afraid that you will be criticized if you bring me in and out of the company?"

Xiao Yan was walking in front, "Your qualification to study in the Polytechnic Academy has been revoked and you can start your internship right away. Why don't you work hard for the Xiao family?"

Qiao Mo did not even think about it and decisively refused. "I don't want it!"

The man stopped in his tracks and cast a sidelong glance at the young woman behind him. "Why?"

Qiao Mo blinked his eyes and said honestly, "The Xiao family's main business and my major are not compatible. In the Xiao family, I can't do anything."

Besides, she still wanted to compete with her teacher for the protection of the academy. There might be some variables.

The man frowned deeply when he heard this. His voice was thin and cold as he said, "Are you still thinking of keeping the research?"

"Even if I don't, the Xiao Clan isn't suitable for my development."

"The Xiao family has a job that suits you."

"What?"

Xiao Yan enunciated each word clearly, "Be my secretary."

Qiao Mo's mouth was agape. He was even more confused. In such a large company like the Xiao family, he had many secretaries. Even if she became his secretary, she would at most be a vase.

"Then I don't want it anymore. I don't study administration, I can't work as a secretary. "

As soon as he entered the office, someone knocked on the door and entered.

It was the company's representative. Upon learning that Xiao Yan had just returned from a business trip to the UK, he immediately brought in the completed case file and entered the office.

Qiao Mo saw that they were about to talk, so he wanted to avoid them. Just as he was about to sit on the sofa, he heard the Ocean representative politely ask: "Director Xiao, this is …?"

Xiao Yan glanced at Qiao Mo indifferently, as if he was looking at an unimportant person, "My secretary."

Although the answer was within his expectations, the loss in his heart and the stiffness in his back was still unstoppable.

Her face was slightly pale, and she gave a stiff smile without any emotion towards Yuanyang's representative.

The representative of Yuanyang had invited Xiao Yan to the celebratory dinner while Qiao Mo stood at the side. He did not hear a single word of what they were about to say.

Even when the representatives of Yuanyang Group left, Qiao Mo who was standing to the side was still in a daze.

"What, disappointed?"

A clear and cold male voice interrupted her thoughts.

Jomo smiled with a pale smile, "How could that be? I don't mind if Mr Xiao takes the opportunity to flirt with women while on a business trip to England." What's more, this? "

Xiao Yan suddenly stood up, the tip of his shoes pressing against the tip of her canvas shoes. His tall figure cast a shadow in front of her, "You are too obedient. Women can occasionally get jealous, so there is no harm in doing so."

Jomo laughed, then grabbed his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Hubby, from now on, can you only love me?"

After he finished speaking, his face was stiff.

Xiao Yan's face darkened. Qiao Mo pulled down his face and said, "See, I don't love you, so I can't afford to be jealous. You don't love me either. If I act like a spoiled child in front of you, you'll only think that I'm being unreasonable. Xiao Yan, you're the one who said that as long as we fulfill our obligations after our marriage, then we should remain calm and collected like this. We shouldn't overstep our boundaries, isn't that great? "
