Forbidden Game: Ruthless CEO, Please Set Me Free-Chapter 837 - 845: Mrs. Fu (4)

But more cruel than this was the eternally cold bed beside him, absent of her warmth forever.

He held her tighter, almost wanting to merge her into his bones and blood.

Qiao Mo frowned, "How can you sleep like this when you’re holding so tight?"

He remained silent, yet unwilling to let go.

Qiao Mo was helpless, feeling a bit dazed as she leaned against his warm chest.

...

Close to noon, they finally got up.

After another nap, Qiao Mo didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

But what worried her most was Chenchen’s illness.

After he prepared lunch, she brought it to him, probing, "What have you decided?"

"We’ll go to the hospital in the afternoon to see Chenchen."

Qiao Mo felt uncertain, and once he turned his back, she made a big face at him.

How annoying, couldn’t he be a bit more straightforward?

After the meal, Qiao Mo took a shower and put on makeup.

When she came out, he was not there, and Nanny Wang came up with a set of clothes: "Miss Qiao, the gentleman asked me to bring this to you. It fits your size perfectly."

Nanny Wang brought a mint green dress with a V-neck, the upper part sewn with many sequins, looking fresh and clean like a pale green narcissus.

Additionally, there were matching underwear and high heels.

"Is this... Mrs. Fu’s?"

"Ah?"

Nanny Wang was stunned, staring at Qiao Mo without response for quite a while.

"Not convenient to say? I was being impudent." Qiao Mo smiled, accepting the dress.

"No... it’s not that, I just didn’t understand your meaning earlier, what Mrs. Fu are you talking about?"

Qiao Mo paused for a moment, "I mean Fu Nancheng’s wife."

"Well... that’s you, isn’t it?"

Qiao Mo’s eyes widened a bit, somewhat bewildered.

"Are you saying he hasn’t remarried?"

"Yes... after you had the accident, the gentleman has always been alone, there hasn’t been any other woman by his side."

Qiao Mo was stunned, "But previously at the banquet, I clearly heard someone inquiring about Mrs. Fu with him."

"Oh... so that’s what you were talking about..."

"Ever since you left, the gentleman seemed to have changed, at least outwardly looking fine, but at home, always acting as if you were still around. Every day before dawn, he gets up to cook for you, serving two portions, then sits alone talking to himself, speaking to you."

Qiao Mo stared at Nanny Wang, her gaze vacant, while Nanny Wang seemed to start rambling as if she was aged. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"You don’t know how heartbreaking the scene was. Often after finishing a meal, he’s barely eaten anything himself, while your bowl is always piled with food. At night too, the gentleman returns home particularly punctually, washes fruits asking you questions, like talking to the air alone, making my heart ache to watch."

Qiao Mo’s eyes moistened, "But... but I clearly saw many women’s clothes in the closet..."

"Those were bought for you by the gentleman, whenever he encountered the latest styles or ones suitable for you, he would definitely buy them back. Then he would ask you if you liked them and if they looked good. Over time, the closet filled with more and more clothes, and he would often stare at the closet in a daze, sad that you never wore them."

Qiao Mo turned her face to avoid Nanny Wang’s gaze, unable to listen anymore.

A tear rolled down her cheek, leaving a faint trail.

"It’s fortunate you can come back; you don’t know how much of the upstairs items the gentleman forbids anyone to touch, even cleaning, I have to be extra careful, otherwise if a flowerpot is moved an inch, or a photo is removed, the gentleman will definitely lose his temper."
