Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Nancheng, You Softened (3)

At this moment, footsteps sounded in the hallway. Qiao Mo, who was on the phone at the stairwell, was completely unaware that Yan Jiu and Qin Zhaoran had already left the ward and were standing not far behind her.

Listening to her instructions to Jiang Jinghao, Yan Jiu chuckled softly, a hint of malice flickering in his eyes, as he walked towards Qiao Mo.

This woman!

Showing concern to that poor bastard but treating his third brother like this!

Seeing that he was about to cause trouble again, Qin Zhaoran reached out to stop him: "Yiheng, let the third brother handle it himself."

The elevator door opened with a ’ding’. Yan Yiheng took a deep look at Qiao Mo’s back before he entered the elevator with a grim face: "If she dares to let my third brother down again, I’ll ruin her face!"

Qin Zhaoran furrowed his brows but said nothing.

It wasn’t until they exited the elevator that Yan Yiheng’s expression softened a bit. Once they got into the car, he took out his phone and sent a message to Fu Nancheng.

After the two left, Fu Nancheng sat on the sofa waiting for Qiao Mo. Seeing more than twenty minutes pass without her return, his face grew increasingly unpleasant.

It was at this moment that the phone on the coffee table suddenly chimed, showing a message from Yan Jiu.

’Third brother, your Miss Qiao is busy showing concern for someone with the surname Jiang.’

The short message successfully made his face darken.

He waited several more minutes, seeing that Qiao Mo still hadn’t returned, his anger deepened.

Just as his patience was about to run out, the door finally opened, and Qiao Mo walked in.

Qiao Mo entered the ward softly, only to find Qin Zhaoran and Yan Yiheng had already left. She couldn’t help but softly say, "Did they leave?"

Fu Nancheng didn’t answer her question, his dark eyes exceptionally sinister: "Where did you go?"

Qiao Mo was slightly startled, then said, "I... went to ask the doctor about your condition..."

Halfway through speaking, Qiao Mo dared not continue, as Fu Nancheng’s expression was clearly unsightly, his cold gaze fixed on her making her inexplicably guilty.

After a few seconds, he suddenly sneered: "Did you? What did you find out?"

Qiao Mo regained her composure, softly saying: "The doctor said... once the medication is finished, you can be discharged, just need to be more careful in the future."

Fu Nancheng’s eyes flickered with mockery: "Hmph, be careful? Are you disappointed that I didn’t die?"

Qiao Mo was speechless, looking at him dazedly, not understanding why he had changed so much since she left.

Seeing her silent, self-deprecation flashed in his eyes. He grabbed his coat and said coldly: "I’ll give you three days to settle things with Jiang Jinghao."

Qiao Mo was slightly stunned, her heart aching.

Settle things?

Seeing him about to leave, Qiao Mo panicked: "Fu..."

"Can’t bear to?" Fu Nancheng stopped and narrowed his dangerous eyes.

Qiao Mo’s eyes reddened again, she hesitated: "I..."

Qiao Mo remained silent.

His gaze grew even more malicious: "Need me to help you?"

Qiao Mo’s heart tightened, her eyes red as she lowered her gaze, thinking perhaps it was best; wasn’t she planning to break up with Jing Hao anyway? Doing it decisively wouldn’t be a bad thing.

"I understand, I’ll sort things out with him."

Fu Nancheng looked deeply at her, "Remember what you said today."

With those words, without waiting for Qiao Mo to speak again, he left.

Qiao Mo watched the blurred door in silence, fell onto the sofa, her heart aching so much she wanted to cry.

After returning home, Qiao Mo stayed locked in her room.
