Chapter 1338: Chapter 1338: The Fallen Flowers Intend, The Flowing Water Is Heartless

Upon arriving at the hospital, Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu glanced at each other.

Xu Chaomu lowered his voice and asked, "How could you tell that Chuqing likes Xiao Mo?"

"Intelligence is a great thing, too bad you don’t have any," Shen Chi said indifferently.

"Shen Chi, have you no shame!" Xu Chaomu was furious. "You despise me for not being intelligent, and I haven’t even criticized your low emotional intelligence! Can’t you compliment me for once? Will complimenting me make you pregnant?"

"Baby, you look so good when you’re angry," Shen Chi changed his tune, looking at Xu Chaomu affectionately.

"..." Damn it, Xu Chaomu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; she was completely taken by Shen Chi in this lifetime.

This man was sarcastic, bad-tempered, and loved making her angry—why did she have to like him...

"Let’s go, upstairs," Shen Chi took her hand.

"You still haven’t told me, do you think Xiao Mo likes Chuqing?" Xu Chaomu said, following him.

"I don’t know."

"Aren’t you the one with high intelligence? How come you don’t know now?"

"I don’t like meddling in my subordinates’ personal issues, and I’m not a love expert. I only care about whether my wife likes me or not."

"Your wife doesn’t like you."

"Is that so?" Shen Chi turned his head, radiating a murderous chill.

"Your wife doesn’t like you... That’s impossible." Xu Chaomu smiled, a smile uglier than crying.

Only then did Shen Chi coldly huff in satisfaction, carrying Xiaobao in one arm and pulling Xu Chaomu up the stairs with the other.

Xiaobao, eating cotton candy, looked at Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu with big round eyes. Were Mommy and Daddy fighting?

At the hospital entrance, Xia Chuqing saw that Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu had both left, and awkwardly hugged the lilies while glancing at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo casually placed his hands in his pants pockets, watching her without a change in expression.

Xia Chuqing mustered up the courage to greet him: "Deputy Director Xiao, what a coincidence."

"Yes, quite a coincidence," Xiao Mo replied indifferently, his gaze still on her face.

Xia Chuqing felt anxious; she was actually a bit nervous. What was there to be nervous about?

After building up her courage and pondering for a while, she blurted out, "I happened to be in the United States for an event with my mentor and bought these flowers on a whim... How about... I give them to you..."

Xia Chuqing handed the fragrant lilies to Xiao Mo, but he didn’t reach for them.

"I’m not fond of flowers and plants."

Xia Chuqing pouted at him, seeing his aloof expression.

"Oh." Suddenly, Xia Chuqing felt like she was struggling with a language barrier, not knowing what to say to Xiao Mo.

They had met many times before, but it was not like today.

Xiao Mo seemed unconcerned, with no particular expression on his face, except the sunlight was a bit glaring, causing him to squint slightly.

"What do you like then?" Xia Chuqing asked spontaneously, but then thought better of it as it seemed too forward. She added quickly, "I was about to head to the mall anyway, I could pick something up for you, and also for Xiaobao and Chaomu."

"Don’t bother."

Er... Xia Chuqing gave Xiao Mo another look, still seeing that aloof expression, but he showed no sign of leaving.

"I see..." Xia Chuqing felt a bit awkward.

Right at that moment, a little girl was staring eagerly at the lilies in Xia Chuqing’s hands.

Xia Chuqing bent down and asked, "Little sister, do you like lilies?"

"I do," the little girl crisply replied. "Could you give them to me?"

"Of course, take them; they’re for you." Xia Chuqing handed the flowers over to her.

These flowers were specially bought by her and were very fresh, still with dewdrops, but unfortunately, some people were unappreciative.

Tsk, I don’t like flowers and plants.

"Thank you, big sister!" The little girl happily ran off with the lilies in her arms.

"That..."

"That..."

Xiao Mo and Xia Chuqing spoke at the same time and then fell silent together.

Xia Chuqing pursed her lips: "You go first."

"I was wrong last time at A City airport, I apologize to you," Xiao Mo said.

"That’s it?" Xia Chuqing thought he had something else to say.

"Uh? Um...yes, that’s it."

"Oh." Xia Chuqing shouldered her backpack and turned to leave.

Xia Chuqing was wearing very pretty clothes today, looking youthful and lively under the sun, vibrant and beautiful.

There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes when she turned her head, she thought about it and there’s a saying that goes, "The falling flowers pine for love, but the heartless brook babbles on." Since it’s heartless, then let it be.

"Wait." Xiao Mo called out to her.

Xia Chuqing turned her head slightly, her face indifferent: "Is there something else, Vice President Xiao?"

"What were you going to say just now?"

What was she about to say? Xia Chuqing looked down at her own shadow. What was she about to say?

She wanted to say, "How’s your injury, is it getting any better?" She really cared about him, she had actually taken leave from school and flown to the United States, taking several days off.

Usually lively and outgoing, Xia Chuqing found herself at a loss for words at this moment. After a while, she barely smiled: "Nothing much, it’s just that I spilled coffee on you on the plane before, I feel pretty bad about it."

"Oh, it’s fine," Xiao Mo said.

"Well then...I’ll get going now, my supervisor is waiting for me." Xia Chuqing’s voice went low, and for some reason, she felt a bit of loss in her heart.

They weren’t very familiar with each other, but now they seemed even less so.

"Mhm." Xiao Mo nodded.

Xia Chuqing turned her head again and ran towards the hospital exit, her pace brisk, feeling like there was a little rabbit thumping in her chest.

For some reason, now whenever she heard Xiao Mo’s voice or saw his name, she’d feel like this. It wasn’t like this the first time they met.

There were too many boys chasing after her in school, yet none of them made her feel this way.

The feeling was indescribable, if she had to describe it with a color, she thought... perhaps it would be the sweet hue of pink.

She walked a good distance, actually hoping the person behind would tell her to "wait a minute," but unfortunately, that did not happen.

Slightly disappointed, she hopped into a taxi and headed to the hotel.

Having gone straight to the hospital after getting off the plane, she hadn’t had time to drop off her backpack at the hotel, nor had she had a chance to buy a gift for Xiaobao.

Passing by a flower shop, she bought a bouquet of lilies, not knowing he didn’t like flowers and plants.

She leaned despondently against the taxi window, her eyes lifelessly gazing at the tall buildings outside.

It wasn’t easy coming all the way to the United States, yet she couldn’t even utter a word to Xiao Mo, she wasn’t usually like this.

Truly forlorn...

After Xia Chuqing left, Xiao Mo shook his head with a slight smile on his lips and turned to head back to his hospital room.

The little girl who had taken Xia Chuqing’s lilies was happily playing on a bench, incessantly sniffing the fragrant lilies she held.

Xiao Mo glanced at her and proceeded to walk forward.

"Big brother!" The little girl greeted him with a smile.

"Um... do you really like these lilies?"

"Yes, I really like them, they smell so good!"

"Besides lilies, what else do you like?"
