Chapter 116: Chapter 116: But You Are Not Him (5)

The next evening, Qiao Mo was researching equestrian clothes online when her phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the screen, and the name "Fu Nancheng" stood out markedly.

Sighing lightly, Qiao Mo set aside her computer and answered the call, "Hello."

"Come downstairs." A deep, commanding voice quickly came from the other end of the line.

"Huh?"

"I’m downstairs."

Qiao Mo was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to actually come over. She felt a bit uneasy and asked again, "Is there... something you need?"

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

Then, before Qiao Mo could react, the call was abruptly hung up.

Qiao Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit lost.

Is he... angry?

Beside her, Qianxun asked, "Xiao Mo? What’s wrong? Did something happen?"

"Oh, it’s nothing... I’m going out for a bit."

Though she was still somewhat unwilling in her heart, it was clear that the man was quite displeased.

If she really dared not to go down, who knows what he might do.

After changing clothes, Qiao Mo hurriedly ran downstairs. Looking around, she saw a black car parked on a small road not far from the dormitory’s entrance. Seeing her look over, the car’s headlights flashed.

Qiao Mo took a deep breath, opened the car door, and got in.

The man was wearing a dark-colored suit, a computer was open in front of him. From her angle, she could vaguely see several people on the other side of the computer, seemingly in a video conference.

Seeing this, Qiao Mo dared not make a sound and quietly sat beside him.

But after a full half hour, Qiao Mo was almost bored to death, cursing him internally.

Does this man have a problem?

He made her come down so quickly, she thought he had something urgent...

In the end, she didn’t even have time to grab her phone, and just sat there for more than half an hour watching him hold a meeting with his subordinates.

After waiting a full hour, Qiao Mo sat to the side, drowsy.

As it finally grew darker outside, he closed the laptop and turned his head to look at her.

Startled, Qiao Mo straightened up immediately, "Mr. Fu..."

Fu Nancheng glanced at her indifferently, his eyes still cold.

Qiao Mo pondered, tomorrow is only Friday, she shouldn’t need to go back today...

But why did he suddenly come over?

As Qiao Mo’s mind wandered, Fu Nancheng suddenly tossed a box over, landing perfectly on her lap.

Qiao Mo was slightly stunned, looked at the black velvet box in front of her, gently picked it up, and turned her head to look at the man beside her.

It was clear he had no intention of explaining.

Qiao Mo looked down again at the box in her hands, her pale fingers opening it gently.

Inside the box, a delicate ring lay quietly. The ring had two pear-shaped diamonds and sapphires set in opposite directions, emitting a soft yet intense light in the dim interior of the car.

Qiao Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit lost; one glance was enough to see the ring was quite valuable.

Fu Nancheng’s gaze fell on her face, his eyes still exceptionally cold.

But only he knew how nervous he was at this moment...

Would she like it?

Qiao Mo came back to her senses, looked at the man beside her, and asked softly, "This is...?"

Fu Nancheng awkwardly averted his gaze, speaking with a faint tone, "To make it up to you."

Qiao Mo felt somewhat dazed, lost as she looked at him.

If it weren’t too dark, she would certainly see the slight redness in his ears.

The car fell silent again until a long time later, Qiao Mo withdrew her gaze, looked down, and refused, "I appreciate Mr. Fu’s kindness, but you are not him. This ring holds no meaning for me, so you should take it back."
