Chapter 69: Chapter 69: A Twist of Fate (5)

Upon hearing the voice, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then a gentle voice said, "No, the day after I arrived, I encountered an earthquake."

Qiao Mo was dumbfounded.

She didn’t expect such a coincidence that left her momentarily speechless.

"What did you tell me?"

Upon hearing his question, Qiao Mo didn’t know how to respond.

After all, she had never imagined that the breakup message she finally had the heart to send would never reach him.

At that moment, the sound of a doorknob turning came suddenly from the door, startling Qiao Mo to the point of losing her wits, causing her to immediately whisper, "Jing Hao, I have something to deal with. I’ll contact you immediately once I have news about Aunt Feng."

Before she could finish her sentence, Fu Nancheng pushed the door open and entered.

Qiao Mo immediately turned around, her back to the windowsill.

But because she was too nervous, she lost her balance, and the phone in her hand fell to the ground with a ’bang!’

Qiao Mo anxiously looked at the suddenly appearing man, tense and unable to breathe as her throat felt dry.

For a moment, their eyes met, and the room was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Seeing her full of tension and vigilance, Fu Nancheng frowned.

His gaze slowly moved downward, landing on the floor.

On the brown floor lay a white phone, screen facing up, still lit, remaining on the communication page.

Qiao Mo obviously saw this scene too, her heart seemed to leap into her throat.

But he didn’t move, and neither did she dare to move, not even daring to pick up the phone.

His gaze suddenly deepened, and he spoke slowly, "Making a phone call?"

Qiao Mo’s heart trembled, but she feigned calmness and replied, "Mm, with a classmate."

His eyes narrowed slightly, staring at her for a while without speaking.

After a few seconds, he walked toward her in big strides.

Every step he took was steady and strong, without making a sound on the floor, yet her heart was beating faster and faster...

Until he was about two meters away, Qiao Mo finally couldn’t help but move.

After all, if he discovered she was on a call with Jing Hao, who knows what he might do.

If it were just directed at her, that would be one thing, but if it also implicated Jing Hao, she would truly feel guilty.

But as soon as she moved, before her fingertips could even touch the phone, a large hand picked it up before she could.

Qiao Mo’s heart tightened, looking at him uneasily, "Mr... Mr. Fu."

Fu Nancheng shifted his gaze from Qiao Mo’s face to the white phone in his hand, and at that moment, the screen that had remained lit suddenly went dark.

But Qiao Mo’s heart did not relax because of this; in fact, it was even more on edge.

She silently vowed in her heart that if she got the phone back, she would definitely set a password.

Otherwise, just like now, he only needed to press the screen, and he would find out...

Fu Nancheng handed the phone to her, "Be careful."

Qiao Mo’s eyelashes trembled lightly, and she slowly reached out to take the phone.

Even after the phone was tightly held in her hand, her whole body was still weak, clearly not expecting he would return the phone so easily.

"Did you... have dinner? Aunt said you were busy just now." Qiao Mo clutched the phone tightly and spoke softly, but her palms were sweaty.

"Mm," he responded lightly, giving her an up-and-down look, "Did you take a bath?"

"Before dinner..."

Before she could finish speaking, she clearly noticed his face darken.

Qiao Mo was stunned for a moment, then remembered he had said not to get wet.
