Chapter 780

"Perhaps."

Qiao Muting nodded.

Before long, both of them felt sleepy.

A message notification pinged from a phone that had forgotten to be set to silent.

Qiao Muting tapped it open casually.

It was a WeChat friend request.

The note said Xu Zihan.

The request was sent via a high school classmate group.

Qiao Muting's gaze paused.

"Do you have something to handle? I'll go to sleep first." Shu Xia pulled away from Qiao Muting's embrace and said lazily, sounding sleepy.

Qiao Muting put the phone down and pulled Shu Xia back into his arms, "Let's sleep together."

When they were eating breakfast the next day, Qiao Nainai called.

She first asked about Shu Xia's situation, then talked about her own.

Both the old woman and the young woman were afraid the other would worry about them.

They chatted for quite a while.

When the call was about to end, Shu Xia asked Qiao Muting if he wanted to say a few words to Qiao Nainai.

Qiao Muting looked over, "Okay."

Qiao Nainai, however, refused directly, "I just saw you yesterday, there's nothing to say. Grandma is going to drink some water, you get some good rest."

The disdain in her tone was the same as always, not reduced in the slightest.

Qiao Muting, having been thoroughly disdained, felt his mouth twitch violently.

Shu Xia held back her laughter.

It had to be said, only Qiao Nainai could make Qiao Muting feel so helpless and resigned.

While Qiao Muting went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, a message popped up on his phone left on the table.

Shu Xia glanced at it casually.

It was a friend request.

She didn't pay it any mind; after taking a sip of water, she took a book and went to the sofa to read.

Qiao Muting came out after tidying up the kitchen and saw the friend request on his phone.

His gaze paused on it for a few seconds.

Shu Xia happened to turn her head to look at him.

Whether it was an illusion or not, the profile of Qiao Muting's face seemed a bit darker.

Caught off guard, Shu Xia suddenly thought of Xu Zihan, whom she had run into in the parking lot yesterday.

Her heart tightened abruptly, and she immediately withdrew her gaze.

After Qiao Muting left, she suddenly felt she couldn't read the book in her hands. Since she was going to the hospital for a follow-up today anyway, she decided to buy a car after the check-up, and half an hour later, she left Xinghai Villa.

——

Inside the 4S dealership.

Shu Xia was browsing casually.

She had just test-driven two cars at other places, but she didn't really like either of them.

People, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

The feeling of the cars Qiao Muting owned, which she had driven before, could not be compared to the cars she test-drove today.
