If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1613: His Embrace, Warm as Such (6)

Chapter 1613: Chapter 1613: His Embrace, Warm as Such (6)

Xiao Mo’s mother was skeptical but sat down. Though her face showed reluctance, she still said for the sake of the gifts, "Boy, go ahead, I’ll listen."

Xiao Mo smiled gently. He knew that as long as his parents were willing to sit down and talk, he basically had victory in hand.

When it came to negotiations, even ten of his father and mother were no match for him.

Moreover, his father was already won over.

Xiao Mo’s mother was also tempted, but she didn’t say anything.

...

In the hotel, Xia Chuqing sat on the bed, drinking milk while handling work.

She glanced at the time; it was already half past ten at night.

She estimated Xiao Mo wouldn’t be coming back...

After replying to the last email from a client, she shut down the computer and prepared for bed.

Just at that moment, the door lock beeped, and the door was pushed open.

Xia Chuqing looked up and saw Xiao Mo, looking exhausted, walk in. He didn’t even take off his coat and just glanced at her.

He didn’t smell of alcohol, but Xia Chuqing still asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Are you very tired?"

"Uh-huh, it’s nothing. I just went home." Xiao Mo sat down on a chair.

"Did you argue with Uncle and Aunt again? I’m sorry, it’s all because of me. Actually... you really shouldn’t argue with them, we’re not suitable."

"Tell me, do you think it’s unsuitable or is it a lack of love? Tell me clearly."

Hearing his calm and serious tone, Xia Chuqing couldn’t help but lower her head.

No love? If it were no love, then why would a simple smile from him keep her awake with excitement? Why would his rejection make her cry for days and nights? How could his every move tug at her heart...

Her heart had been tied to his long ago. Maybe the red string had unknowingly broken, or perhaps it lost its vivid color.

Xia Chuqing didn’t answer him. She didn’t know how to respond.

If all problems could be explained so simply, that would be great...

But worldly matters are complicated, human hearts are complicated...

"You still can’t give me an answer, or rather, you’re still hesitating." Xiao Mo said, "I won’t pressure you, think it over. I know I’ve been pressing too hard recently, not giving you time to think."

Xiao Mo stood up. "I have a lot of work lately. Take your time to think. I have to go to Germany the day after tomorrow, the return date is uncertain, but at least half a month."

Xia Chuqing looked up, "You’re going on a business trip?"

"Yes, the subsidiary is being established, I need to take a look."

"I... I’ll wait for you to come back." Xia Chuqing said softly.

"It’s still raining outside. By the time I return, it should be almost spring. Take care of yourself. If someone at the group bullies you, don’t keep it to yourself, tell me."

Xiao Mo looked at her, still reluctant in his heart.

Somewhere along the way, she, like a seed, quietly rooted and sprouted in his heart.

If he had ended this feeling in the budding stage, maybe none of this would’ve happened, but he couldn’t bear to.

Feeling Xiao Mo’s affectionate gaze, Xia Chuqing also looked up, looking at him...

The two of them locked eyes, neither saying a word, just staring.

"I’ve booked a room next door, I won’t sleep here tonight. Remember to get up on time tomorrow." Xiao Mo reminded.

He wasn’t usually a nagging person, but in front of someone he liked, he couldn’t help but care a little more, doing what he could.

"Then you go to bed early." Xia Chuqing couldn’t help but ask, "Was the conversation with Uncle and Aunt unpleasant?"

"They’ll return to Qingyuan tomorrow." Xiao Mo said, "This matter ends here. After I leave on the business trip, you move back in so as not to waste the rent money."

"Thank you." Xia Chuqing had a thousand things but didn’t know where to start saying them.

"Uh... let me hold you." Xiao Mo looked at her, curling his lips.

His gaze was pure and clear, not tainted with a speck of dust, and his tone was particularly sincere.

Xia Chuqing couldn’t refuse, she too wanted to hold him.

Xiao Mo wrapped his arms around her waist, giving her a hug.

Xia Chuqing smelled that familiar scent unique to him, along with a bit of cold air brought from outside and the dust of night rain.

His embrace was so warm.

For a moment, she was a little dazed.

If he had said this and done this two years ago, would everything be different...

She admitted she still didn’t understand Xiao Mo.

This hug didn’t last long. Xiao Mo also felt he was being sentimental, a hint of a smile curved his lips as he stood up and left.

As he left, his scent lingered in the air, and Xia Chuqing felt even more dazed.

Her heart was in turmoil...

Xia Chuqing didn’t know if he had made things clear with his parents, if their family was still at odds.

But before she could ask for an answer, Xiao Mo had already packed his luggage to leave for Germany.

He was on a morning flight, and because of the cold weather, he insisted that Xia Chuqing not see him off.

Although Xia Chuqing was also his secretary, due to her lack of experience, he took another secretary instead.

During those days, without him in the office, Xia Chuqing always felt empty inside, like something was missing in her heart.

However, she couldn’t help but think of what Yao Jia had said, about his purpose in Munich.

But she never pierced that veil.

On the fifth day after Xiao Mo left for Germany, she received a call from Yao Jia.

"Xia Chuqing, you really have a way, I truly underestimated you." Yao Jia’s sharp voice came.

"What are you talking about?"

"Even Brother Xiao Mo’s parents have been bought over by you, speaking well of you. I really underestimated you." Yao Jia was very angry.

"I don’t understand what you’re saying. I’m very busy with work; I don’t want to hear you say these things during work hours."

"I’m in C City. If you don’t want to make a big scene, come to the café on the first floor, I have something to say to you."

"This is the last time I’ll see you. You’d better not cause trouble."

Yao Jia hung up, and Xia Chuqing tidied up her documents.

In the future, she would have to face all sorts of people; she couldn’t rely on Xiao Mo forever.

In the workplace, people’s hearts are unpredictable, and she needed to have her own skills to handle them.

Half an hour later, in the first-floor café, Yao Jia walked in. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

It had been a long time since Xia Chuqing last saw her, she was still the same, unchanged.

In contrast, Xia Chuqing’s attire was more mature and professional, which surprised Yao Jia a bit.

It seemed that under Xiao Mo’s influence, Xia Chuqing had indeed changed quite a bit.

"Go ahead, what do you want to say to me? It’s work hours, I don’t want to waste time." Xia Chuqing sat opposite Yao Jia.

"Brother Xiao Mo went to Munich?"

"You already know, why ask me?"

"Are you willingly being used, or do you think Brother Xiao Mo truly loves you?"

"That’s between him and me." Xia Chuqing’s response was cold.
