Chapter 70

It was awkward between the two of them. It felt like they hadn’t met for years when they just didn’t see each other for one month. Bao Er felt that she had to watch his expression and be careful with her words in case she might say something wrong.

Tan Jingmo’s black pupils darkened and he didn’t comment about her hair anymore.

Glancing at Bao Er who looked basically the same as one month ago, he said: “Let’s go, it’s going to rain.”

“Oh.” Bao Er followed behind him as she walked slowly.

“Faster!” Tan Jingmo saw that she was dawdling behind and couldn’t help but to call her.

Bao Er had no choice but to walk beside him. Tan Jingmo stretched out his hand to wrap Bao Er’s hand into his. Both of them were so close together yet their hearts were far apart.

Glancing at their fingers that were intertwined together, Bao Er raised her head to look at Tan Jingmo. Her gaze fell directly into his deep eyes and her entire person was even sucked into those dark eyes of his. She looked at him blankly without knowing how to react.

People walked to and fro in the airport. It was a busy place, but no matter what, Tan Jingmo and Bao Er were both good-looking living beings that attracted the eyes of other passerbys. Therefore, unexpectedly, some people were standing at the side to watch the show.

Sometimes he also thought that Bao Er hid too many things in her heart. She obviously cared about him but she stubbornly refused to admit it, like now. This was not a good phenomenon.

“Bao Bao, are you being shy?”

When she heard these words, Bao Er walked even faster, “What nonsense are you talking, it’s going to rain. I don’t want to get myself wet in the rain.”

She was asked twice in a day about whether she was being “shy”. Bao Er felt really perturbed and awkward at the same time.

After they got into the car, Tan Jingmo asked the driver to go back to the “golden nest” because he was exhausted after work and wanted to rest for a couple days before he went back to work.

“But I still need to go back to my company! I promised my boss.” Bao Er looked at him resignedly. There was a slight look of pleading at the bottom of her eyes.

Actually he was her boss and she knew that she should listen to him, but she also said that she would try to go back as soon as possible. Otherwise, wouldn’t she gradually endanger her trustworthiness one step at a time?

Perhaps Bao Er wasn’t very trustworthy in her family’s eyes, but she wouldn’t do the same to others, especially to Liang Qing Qing. She literally treated Bao Er as her own sister, just because she liked Bao Er the way she was, Bao Er’s diligence and all of her.

Towards the people who loved her sincerely, Bao Er would do her best to treat them well. A promise shouldn’t be broken, since she promised that she would be back as soon as possible, then how could she break it?

“Take a day off, say that you are feeling unwell.” Tan Jingmo gave her an excuse without even thinking twice.

“I can’t, I was very lively in the company just now, it feels fake to say this.” Bao Er immediately retorted.

Tan Jingmo wrinkled his brows as he looked at Bao Er, an eerie look appeared in his eyes again. “What do you want? Go back to work?” His tone was deep with a faint unhappiness.

Bao Er shrunk her neck but still nodded hard-heartedly. Then she lowered her eyes and didn’t look at him anymore.

Tan Jingmo snorted coldly and stretched out his hand to massage his swelling forehead. It was mildly aching because he sat too long in the airplane.

He wanted to come to see her once he got off the plane, but what about her? She actually talked about her damn job, was her job more important than him? Thinking back to one month earlier, their England company needed him to be there yet he forgot to bring his phone. He couldn’t remember her number so he didn’t contact her.

After that, his own secretary flew to meet him, so he requested him to fix his phone card. The card was fixed but the phone call that he wanted to answer never rang at all.

He was pissed off and decided not to contact her, to see who could hold out longer. But seeing this now, he was the one who lost, huh, this was unexpected.

“Ah Mo, I promised my boss, I really need to go back. After work I’ll go home at the double, okay?” Bao Er asked cautiously.

Tan Jingmo opened his eyes and glanced at Bao Er expressionlessly.

The two people in the car looked at each other, their breathing that exhaled from the tip of their noses entangled intimately. They only had each other in their eyes, as an ambiguous and strange atmosphere started to develop in this small space.

Bao Er felt a chill in her heart from the eye-contact and slowly leaned backwards. Tan Jingmo felt even more furious after he saw this, as he took out his phone to call a number.

“Come pick me up at the airport, within ten minutes. Stop the car!” The last sentence was directed to the driver in front of them.

The car immediately stopped. Tan Jingmo didn’t look at Bao Er anymore as he opened the car door to get off. “You go back to work, someone will come to fetch me later.” He then slammed the door shut.

Bao Er looked at him through the car window. She didn’t need to guess to know that he was angry. She was worried too but she couldn’t help it.

She then told the address of her company and went back alone in the car.

When Tan Jingmo saw this, he almost spat out blood in anger. Couldn’t she get a hang of the situation? How could a person’s brain be so dense? Those words that he said in anger, she actually believed it and went back to work without saying anything in response. Was there any woman like her?

Didn’t they say that women’s minds were very sensitive and could react very fast? Why was this one such an exception?

Tan Jingmo entered his secretary’s car disgruntledly. He didn’t go back to Bao Er’s place but went back to his own private residence directly.

On the other hand, in “VK”, Liang Qing Qing was a little surprised when she saw that Bao Er came back in less than an hour’s time. “You come back so soon? I thought you’ll go home directly since there’s nothing much to do here.”

Bao Er pulled out a smile but her smile did not reach her eyes. It was obvious she was forcing herself to show a happy face. “Yeah, it’s not that far anyway.”

After she said that, she leaned over the table to continue drawing, but this time she couldn’t finish anything and ended up staring into space for the whole afternoon. Seeing that it was time, she hurriedly grabbed her bag and left.

But when she went back to the “golden nest” and found that Tan Jingmo was not around, Bao Er was a little disappointed. She put down her bag and buried her head into the sofa. Her heart was a mess.

It was apparent that he was angry. Bao Er looked up at the ceiling with spiritless eyes. What was this all about?

It felt like he was throwing a tantrum with her, but this was not something that should happen between them. He was his master and she was his servant, so everything should be based on his needs and emotions.

After Bao Er put in more thoughts about it, she grabbed her phone to call Tan Jingmo’s number.

“What’s up?” Tan Jingmo’s emotionless voice came from the other side of the phone.

Bao Er got up of the sofa and walked to the balcony. She looked up at the sky and only came back to her senses after she heard his words.

“Ah Mo, are you angry?” Bao Er asked tentatively. Actually there was no need to ask because she knew. But, probably, maybe, when a normal master encountered this, they would also act like Tan Jingmo and become unhappy!

Tan Jingmo put down the folder and pen in his hands. His fingers slowly tapped the surface of the table in a disorderly manner.

Bao Er didn’t hear his reply but she naturally knew his answer.

Opening her throat, she suddenly didn’t know what to say. Bao Er was never an outspoken person. When she was together with children, she could show a childlike emotion like what she did with Lu Xi Jie. She didn’t like to see him being arrogant and full of himself, so she would act that she was mightier and fooled around with him.

But it was different with Tan Jingmo. He was always at the dominant side, his status was there so she couldn’t refuse him. But Bao Er didn’t have much experience being with men like him. In her lifetime, she was only close to her father and her brother besides Tan Jingmo. Her experience of being with them felt very distant and cold as well.

So when Tan Jingmo acted like this, Bao Er didn’t know what to do. Once she didn’t know what to do, she decided to drop her plan of giving in to him.

It was Tan Jingmo’s fault for not expressing anything.

“I was wrong today, I’ll be aware of it in the future. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”

Tan Jingmo was pissed off in his heart, he had never seen someone as difficult as her.

“You apologize just like that? With no sincerity at all?” When he said that, both his eyes gaped so widely like Bao Er was just in front of him.

Bao Er was stunned, then what did he want?

“Then? What do you want?” Bao Er recalled how Mo Xiaoyi’s brother wanted her to write a letter of repentance. Her eyes grew even wider, making her already sparkling eyes look more dazzling.

“Don’t tell me you want me to write a letter of repentance?”

Tan Jingmo initially only wanted to tease her because he remembered that Bao Er was a prudent person. She wasn’t like the other women outside who only wanted to hang onto him tightly. Probably, in her heart, their relationship should be broken off, the sooner the better!

He snorted inwardly. In that case, he surely wouldn’t let her have her wish. But the letter of repentance that she suggested sounded not bad.

“Since you’ve said so, then I don’t need to say it any longer. Go and reflect on yourself about what you did wrong, and pass it to me tomorrow morning.” Tan Jingmo stood up and took his own clothes before he slowly walked out.

Bao Er suddenly felt like she bit her own tongue, did she get a stroke or something? She actually suggested this on her own, wasn’t she seeking trouble for herself? Since she gave him such a suggestion, wouldn’t he disregard her “sincerity” if he didn’t implement it?
