Chapter 536

"Aren't we just that? Could it be... that we have love as a foundation? Don't you dislike me?" Shu Xia asked back.

Could he please let go of her hand?

The lines of Qiao Muting's face suddenly turned cold and hard, and even his breathing seemed to be mixed with a chill, "Are you trying to say that you don't like me?"

Shu Xia was stunned, and after she realized it, she immediately lowered her eyes.

Living with him every day during this period, the things he had done for her had already made her waver.

But she was very clear that she could not show it, otherwise, it would violate the agreement they had made at the beginning.

Once he saw it, this marriage between the two of them would start to be full of awkwardness everywhere.

"I indeed do not like you," Shu Xia said.

Qiao Muting's face turned cold, and he directly let go of Shu Xia's hand, "Remember what you just said; absolutely do not fall in love with me one day, otherwise..."

Shu Xia raised her head, "Otherwise what?"

According to the initial agreement, divorce?

Qiao Muting suddenly felt that this man Shu Xia had a very hard heart and was also very ruthless.

"Nothing, remember your words," Qiao Muting said in an icy tone.

The momentary change in mood was as if the whole person had been placed in ice and snow.

The tenderness from last night, coaxing her to do it again, was completely gone.

Men really are two different people in and out of bed.

No matter how gentle they are in bed, or how much affection is in their eyes, it is all fake.

Shu Xia was glad that she had not revealed her good feelings for him just now.

Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing right now.

——

At noon, Zhang Tezhu secretly called Shu Xia.

"Miss Shu, Qiao is as fierce and terrifying as the King of Hell today. Everyone in the company from top to bottom feels terrified. From the start of work until now, he has already made at least ten people work overtime tonight, and I have to work overtime too. What on earth happened at home, Qiao? Everything was fine yesterday."

"Everything is fine at home, nothing happened, don't overthink it." Shu Xia felt a bit guilty; was Qiao Muting bringing his emotions into his work?

Was Qiao Muting bringing his emotions into his work?

On her way to work, she thought carefully about the conversation she had with Qiao Muting last night and this morning.

In the end, she still couldn't figure it out; she hadn't forgotten the agreement between the two of them, shouldn't he be very happy?

Why did he look even angrier instead?

Could it be that he felt he saw she was moved and thought she was lying?

"Really?" Zhang Tezhu was half-believing and half-doubting.

However, if Miss Shu said there was nothing wrong, then there must be nothing wrong. Perhaps he had just gotten used to the easy-going boss recently, so he was completely unaccustomed to the old boss.

Thinking about it carefully, the boss used to be like this almost every day.

"By the way, Miss Shu, there is one more thing I want to consult you about." Zhang Tezhu immediately thought of another matter.

Shu Xia smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead."

——

Qiao Muting glanced at Zhang Tezhu, who had secretly gone out to make a call and then walked back in, "Who were you calling just now?"

"Miss Shu, I happened to have some things I wanted to ask Miss Shu," Zhang Tezhu immediately replied.

The boss really has eyes like torches.

He had only been out for a few minutes, and the boss had already guessed what he went to do.

Qiao Muting glanced at Zhang Tezhu, "What is it?"

"I want to buy a cheongsam to give to my mother, but I don't know what kind to choose. I'm afraid of running into those evil cheongsams from Ding Lao's family," Zhang Tezhu told him everything truthfully.

Hearing the word "cheongsam," Qiao Muting thought of the night he went to Ding Lao's house and Shu Xia, who had taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms under the influence of the cheongsam. The coldness between his brows immediately receded a little, "When you go to choose a cheongsam, buy one for Shu Xia as well, according to her size."

Zhang Tezhu's eyes widened, "Does the boss want to see Miss Shu wear a cheongsam?"

Is his boss into this?
