Chapter 26: Chapter 26 I Want You for One Year (4)

He let out a cold laugh and spoke in a deep voice, "Does Miss Qiao really naively think that nothing in this world comes without a cost?"

"Anything...?"

Qiao Mo felt a sudden pang in her heart as she met his inscrutable dark eyes, leaving her momentarily dazed.

Mysteriously, she detected a hint of hatred, as cold as if someone had gripped her throat tightly, making it difficult to breathe.

It wasn’t until a few seconds later that he withdrew his gaze indifferently, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed, allowing Qiao Mo to breathe again...

She lowered her eyes and involuntarily recalled the scene from a few days ago, his face covered in blood...

She didn’t know if she would have had the courage to smash that ashtray back then if she had known the consequences of offending him.

Fine, didn’t he just want her?

Qiao Mo looked at him and spoke softly, "As long as... as long as I’m willing, Mr. Fu will offer the fifty million, right?"

He curled his lips and slowly spoke, "Willing to do what?"

Qiao Mo looked at him with reddened eyes for a long time before raising her right hand stiffly, gently pulling open the belt of her coat, letting the off-white woolen coat slowly slide off her shoulders.

He merely narrowed his eyes, watching her silently. She wore a white blouse paired with light blue high-waisted jeans, tightly hugging her perfect body.

Qiao Mo stared blankly in his direction, her petite face exceptionally empty.

If you looked closely, it wasn’t hard to see that her eyes, shrouded in mist, had no focus and only faintly reflected his figure...

After shedding the coat, her fingertips slowly fell on the first button of her collar, made of white mother-of-pearl, exuding a faint pearlescence, gently intertwined with her fair, slender fingers.

Qiao Mo trembled slightly as she unbuttoned the first button, her plain hand slowly moving toward the second.

One button... two buttons...

The smile at the corner of his lips grew colder, tinged with sarcasm, he said, "If I am not mistaken, Miss Qiao has a boyfriend."

Qiao Mo’s hand paused slightly; upon hearing him mention Jiang Jinghao, her nose turned sour, and the originally blank eyes welled up with mist, tears almost spilling over from her eyes.

Jing Hao, I’m sorry.

It’s me who betrayed our love.

It’s me who succumbed to reality.

It’s me being too selfish.

Qiao Mo softly lowered her eyes, her mind filled with his gentle face.

He would come to pick her up with an umbrella every rainy day, would sit on the lawn with a guitar and sing to her, would warm a cup of hot tea for her hands in the cold winter, and would habitually pick out the food she disliked while eating...

Qiao Mo bit her lip hard to keep the tears from falling, remained silent, and continued unbuttoning the second button.

She is neither a naive nor ignorant girl; she knows what coming to the hotel at this time means.

But her presence here meant she had already made a choice.

Even if it seems like she had no choice at all.

But Qiao Mo thought, rather than being continuously calculated by those so-called family members, rather than begging someone like Chairman Xia, wasn’t choosing the man before her so much better?

At least she was sure he could sway Qin Zhaoran...

Qiao Mo’s hand slowly unbuttoned the third button, Fu Nancheng lit a cigarette, his manner lazy, swirling smoke, he spoke faintly, "So, this is what your so-called love is worth?"

Qiao Mo raised her eyes to look at him, and nonchalantly laughed, "Loyalty is only because the bargaining chip for betrayal isn’t enough. Besides, isn’t this exactly what Mr. Fu wants?"

His gaze deepened as he stood up and stopped in front of her, grabbing her chin harshly, staring coldly into her eyes, "But, what makes you think you’re worth fifty million?"
