The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 142: Why Didn’t You Answer My Calls or Reply to My Messages?

When he left the medical room at noon today, a casual glance allowed him to spot the red mole on her forearm. At the time, he thought he must have been seeing things.

Thankfully, it wasn’t a mistake!

...

When Qiao Qiqi woke up, it was already completely dark. Only the sofa across from her had a blue glow, illuminating a handsome face.

She sat up, and the blanket slipped off her and fell to the ground. She frowned, "How did I fall asleep?"

"You lost a lot of blood, your body must be weak." Gu Shili put down the computer and looked at her.

"Sorry, I’ll head home now. Did I disturb your rest?" Qiao Qiqi was a bit depressed. She had intended to repay a kindness, but now it seemed she was causing trouble for her benefactor.

"No, I usually sleep in the latter half of the night anyway." Gu Shili picked up the remote and turned on the light.

The room suddenly lit up, and Qiao Qiqi checked the time; it was exactly midnight.

She reached for her phone, "Then I’ll head home first, you should rest early."

"..."

"It’s too late today, why not just sleep here? Going home now would disturb your family’s rest." Gu Shili had already had Gu Cheng check; her parents weren’t home.

"No need, it’s not too late."

"Alright then, I’ll drive you." Seeing her insist, Gu Shili didn’t force her.

Qiao Qiqi, "..."

"It’s too late, it’ll take you two hours round trip. I’ll just take a cab."

"I wouldn’t feel at ease." After saying that, Gu Shili went to get his coat.

Qiao Qiqi, "..."

What does this mean? Wasn’t he previously suspicious that I approached him on purpose?

Gu Shili walked to the car and opened the door, "Get in."

"You... don’t suspect me of approaching you on purpose anymore?"

"I’m sorry, my mistake." Gu Shili immediately apologized to her. He was very happy to have found her. If he’d known earlier that she was his little girl, how could he have doubted her?

Qiao Qiqi didn’t expect that in just half a day, Gu Shili’s attitude would turn 180 degrees, "You don’t need to apologize to me. From your perspective, your suspicion was quite normal."

Gu Shili’s lips formed a slight smile; the little girl was indeed as considerate as ever. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

It’s just that she was probably too young at the time; now it seemed she had completely forgotten about him.

Thinking of this, Gu Shili felt a bit disappointed, but he had been searching for her for over ten years, and now that he finally found her, he shouldn’t have any more extravagant demands.

In the car.

Qiao Qiqi opened her phone, and countless messages popped up. There were messages from Ning Xiuyuan, Jiang Yibo, Fu Xinjing, Lin Tingyu, Qiao Yue’er, Brother, and one from a stranger.

She first opened the stranger’s message, which was from Rong Yuan, who apologized for today’s events. As an apology, he specifically invested fifty million for her to use as she wished.

Qiao Qiqi, "..."

No, she didn’t need it!

Although she didn’t know what Rong Yuan really intended, she decided to ignore it for now. She didn’t like arrogant and rude people.

She then opened Ning Xiuyuan’s messages. When she saw the messages constantly scrolling up, she was at a loss for words. How many messages had Ning Xiuyuan sent her throughout the night?

Thankfully, her phone’s system was modified; otherwise, it would have surely crashed!

Ning Xiuyuan’s video call came through, and Qiao Qiqi pressed to answer. The utterly hopeless Ning Xiuyuan sprang back to life the moment the call connected, "Qiao Qiqi, why didn’t you answer the phone or reply to my messages!"
