Chapter 640

"Qiao, you don't seem very good to your wife. She probably feels that you don't care about her. Women, after all, need to be coaxed. My wife, when I get off work and go home, I bring her a few skewers of barbecue, a little cake, and say a couple of heart-warming words, and she really has eyes only for me. So, Qiao, you could be a bit more gentle with your wife, so she can feel it."

The driver spoke from the bottom of his heart.

He hoped Qiao could take these words to heart.

Qiao Muting raised an eyebrow, "A few skewers of barbecue and a little cake, and she has eyes only for you?"

"Qiao, you also have to say a few sweet words gently," the driver reminded him earnestly.

The most important thing is gentleness.

Qiao Muting lowered his eyes to look at the woman in his arms, seemingly pondering the driver's words seriously.

The driver could not discern Qiao Muting's current mood.

He felt a little regretful that he hadn't been able to hold back just now, talking so much.

Some truths, Qiao surely knew.

"Then... I'll be going now, Qiao," the driver said tremblingly.

Qiao Muting glanced at the driver, "Mm."

The driver scurried away.

Qiao Muting carried Shu Xia upstairs.

When he placed Shu Xia on the bed and changed her clothes, she didn't move at all, behaving unbelievably well.

Half of the frustration in Qiao Muting's chest dissipated, "If you had been this obedient earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble."

This woman was heartless to the extreme, drinking until she was completely unconscious.

Although he was complaining in his heart, the coldness between Qiao Muting's brows melted along with the sound of Shu Xia's steady breathing.

——

When Shu Xia woke up the next morning, her head was splitting with pain.

Seeing that she was lying on the bed in Xinghai Villa, she felt slightly dazed, as if a segment of her memory was missing.

Wasn't she supposed to be at Jiang Nannan's house?

Later, how did she get back?

"Awake?"

Qiao Muting's inquiry came from beside her.

Shu Xia immediately looked over, "You're back?"

Qiao Muting sat up, wearing no clothes, openly exposing his muscles, "Forgot what happened later?"

Alarm bells rang in Shu Xia's head; she couldn't spare the time to admire the view, "Did anything happen last night?"

Why did she lose her composure whenever she drank? And then her memory could disappear without a trace?

She couldn't remember at all how she got back.

She remembered that before getting out of the car, Qiao Muting said he would be home at night.

Then what about her?

Qiao Muting's eyes were deep, making it impossible for anyone to guess the answer.

Shu Xia felt uneasy; had something really happened?

Seeing that although Shu Xia was hiding her emotions, she still leaked a bit of worry, Qiao Muting's heart stirred, and he said nonchalantly, "You didn't do anything too outrageous, just held onto me and told me not to leave, and said you couldn't leave me and wanted to spend your whole life with me."

"What?" Shu Xia was shocked.

She had actually pestered Qiao Muting for a promise while drunk?

"So, have you fallen in love with me?" Qiao Muting's cold, deep eyes stared intently at Shu Xia.

He seemed to be waiting for Shu Xia to give him an answer.

Shu Xia's expression changed.

Seeing the change in Shu Xia's expression, Qiao Muting's expression also darkened, and he quickly looked away, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed, "I was teasing you. I know very well that you won't fall in love with me. Breakfast is being delivered from Laozhai this morning."
