The next day, when Lin Mo woke up, Su Qianqian was already dressed and ready. Judging by the arrangement, Aunt Wang must have helped her.
Today, Su Qianqian was no longer as cold as before. Compared to her usual self, she seemed a little nervous. She sat in front of the dressing table, constantly examining herself.
One moment she adjusted her collar, the next she fixed her hair, never quite satisfied with how she looked.
It was understandable. She and Xiao Jibo had been apart for three years. Naturally, she wanted to dress beautifully to receive him and show him her very best side.
Lin Mo stood outside the bedroom, a bitter smile on his face as he looked at Su Qianqian, who had carefully dressed up.
He had to admit that after putting on makeup, Su Qianqian was truly stunning. Perhaps because she had shown her bare face for the past three years, the change now was especially striking.
As for Su Qianqian and Xiao Jibo, Lin Mo was willing to sincerely bless them. Over the past three years, he had personally witnessed Su Qianqian’s devotion to Xiao Jibo.
Although he had developed a slight fondness for her during these three years, at this moment he was still willing to offer them his heartfelt blessing.
For no other reason than to fulfill this pair of unfortunate lovers.
After all, hadn’t he also been searching for his own white moonlight all these years?
“What are you standing there for?”
Perhaps noticing Lin Mo staring at her, Su Qianqian frowned slightly as she looked at him through the mirror.
Hearing that, Lin Mo smiled softly and said earnestly, “Qianqian, you look beautiful today.”
It was the truth, and it came from his heart.
But Su Qianqian was slightly stunned when she heard it. Then, as if remembering something, she slowly withdrew her gaze and said coldly, “Lin Mo, Xiao Jibo has already returned. Please watch your words.”
“From now on… keep some distance. Don’t say things like that anymore. I’m afraid Xiao Jibo might misunderstand if he hears.”
Su Qianqian returned to her cold demeanor, as if she had become a different person overnight.
“Alright…”
Lin Mo gave a bitter smile and nodded in the end.
Su Qianqian glanced at him indifferently, then turned her wheelchair and headed downstairs.
Seeing this, Lin Mo stepped behind her, intending to carry her downstairs one last time.
But just as he reached out, Su Qianqian’s cold voice stopped him. “No need. Go take care of your own business, and remember, don’t follow me…”
With that, she went downstairs without looking back.
The bodyguards downstairs hurried forward and carried Su Qianqian down. From the moment she left the villa, she never once turned back to look at Lin Mo.
After Su Qianqian left, Lin Mo immediately packed up all his belongings in the villa and sent them to a hotel.
After tidying himself up briefly, he went out and took a taxi to the airport to pick up Ye Qingqing.
The reason he agreed to pick up Ye Qingqing was not just courtesy. There was another reason. He had already made up his mind to debut.
His education and major fully met the standards for entering the music industry. The only thing he lacked was a guide.
After all, the industry was a mixed bag, full of unspoken rules.
Without someone to lead the way, let alone entering the music world, he would not even be able to step over the threshold.
And aside from Ye Qingqing, there seemed to be no better candidate.
As a well-known figure in the music scene, it would not be difficult for her to bring Lin Mo into the industry.
So Lin Mo agreeing to pick her up did carry a hint of using her.
But at this moment, he had no other choice. In order to find Shen Youchu, he had to enter the music world.
Only after debuting and increasing his fame would he have a chance of being seen by Shen Youchu.
Since he had not been able to find her all these years, then he would stand at the peak, stand in the brightest place, and wait for Shen Youchu to come find him.
Soon, Lin Mo arrived at the airport and quickly spotted Su Qianqian.
After all, the most eye-catching person in the entire airport was Su Qianqian.
From afar, roses were placed all around her.
…
On the other side stood her best friend Xia Shiya.
Xia Shiya stood beside her with an unwilling expression, clearly not here of her own accord.
Behind them stood two rows of bodyguards. The spectacle could be said to have given Xiao Jibo full face.
The next second, a large crowd emerged from the arrival gate.
The most eye-catching among them was the man walking in the center, wearing black sunglasses.
He was dressed in a black suit, holding a bouquet of roses in his hand, with a faint, composed smile at the corner of his lips.
This person was Su Qianqian’s white moonlight, Xiao Jibo.
It had to be said that there was a reason Su Qianqian had liked him for so many years.
Xiao Jibo was indeed handsome, the kind of person you could spot at a glance in a crowd.
Unlike Lin Mo’s quiet, refined beauty, his handsomeness carried a bold and flamboyant edge.
Because of that, he stood out among the crowd and became the most dazzling presence in the airport.
At the same time, Su Qianqian stared at Xiao Jibo without blinking, her eyes filled with tears.
It was as if she wanted to pour out all the longing of these years at once.
Soon, Xiao Jibo arrived in front of Su Qianqian.
He took off his sunglasses, calmly smelled the roses in his hand, then revealed a faint smile. “Qianqian, long time no see. Did you miss me?”
Hearing this, Xia Shiya rolled her eyes, undisguised disgust in her gaze.
The way Xiao Jibo spoke did not resemble the joy of reunion after a long separation. It felt more like he was flirting with a pretty girl by the roadside.
Su Qianqian was also slightly stunned.
The scene of their reunion did not quite match what she had imagined.
But she did not dwell on it. She smiled in return and said seriously, “I missed you very much. I thought about you day and night…”
“Qianqian, I missed you too. From the very first day I left you, I thought of you for three years.”
“It was my sudden departure back then that made you worry. But fortunately, I’m back now.”
“From now on, I won’t go anywhere. I’ll stay by your side, take care of you, and cherish you…”
Xiao Jibo looked at Su Qianqian with burning eyes, speaking with deep affection.
As he spoke, he took out a box from his pocket.
When he opened it, a diamond ring lay inside.
He then knelt on one knee and looked at Su Qianqian confidently. “Qianqian, I’ve waited three years for this moment. So… marry me. I will make you the happiest woman in the world. Will you give me this chance?”
Su Qianqian’s eyes were red, her face full of joy.
The surrounding onlookers cast envious glances at them and began chanting, “Marry him, marry him…”
Seeing this, Su Qianqian was just about to agree.
But she inadvertently caught sight of Lin Mo standing in the crowd.
At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the arrival gate, as if he were waiting for someone.
The joy that had filled her face instantly faded.
It was as if she had forgotten about Xiao Jibo entirely. She turned her wheelchair and headed toward Lin Mo.
Xiao Jibo, who had investigated Lin Mo during his three years abroad, recognized him at a glance. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
His face gradually darkened.
But he did not erupt immediately. Instead, he followed behind.
“Lin Mo, why are you here? Didn’t I tell you not to come?” Su Qianqian frowned at Lin Mo, her tone cold.
Lin Mo finally turned around, looking at Su Qianqian and Xiao Jibo in confusion.
Then he seemed to realize something and smiled as he explained, “I’m here to pick up a friend. I’m not following you.”
“Hmph. Lin Mo, stop making excuses. I know everything about you over the past three years.”
“How could you possibly have so many friends? And a friend returning from overseas? Do you think I’m a fool?” Su Qianqian sneered.
In truth, she was not that angry about Lin Mo coming to the airport. On the contrary, there was even a trace of secret delight.
It was just that his clumsy excuse embarrassed her.
If Lin Mo had openly admitted that he could not let her go and had chased her to the airport, she might have looked at him differently.
But he insisted on putting on this calm facade.
That was why she felt annoyed.
“No, Qianqian, I really am here to pick up a friend,” Lin Mo said helplessly.
Before Su Qianqian could respond, Xiao Jibo gently patted her shoulder and comforted her. “Alright, Qianqian. Lin Mo might really be here to pick up a friend. Don’t make things difficult for him.”
Then he looked at Lin Mo with a half-smile. “Hello. You’re Lin Mo, right? My name is Xiao Jibo. I’m the one Qianqian has been thinking about day and night all these years.”
“I just happen to be proposing to Qianqian today. Why don’t you stay and be our witness?”
Lin Mo frowned slightly. Although Xiao Jibo appeared sincere, Lin Mo could hear the provocation in his words.
Otherwise, he would not have emphasized his relationship with Su Qianqian.
“No, I have something to do. Please continue,” Lin Mo said with a polite smile.
“Don’t be like that. How could my proposal be complete without you as a witness? Wouldn’t that be imperfect?” Xiao Jibo persisted and stepped forward to grab Lin Mo’s arm.
Xia Shiya could no longer stand by.
She already had a poor impression of Xiao Jibo, and now she saw him deliberately making things difficult for Lin Mo.
She stepped forward and pulled Xiao Jibo’s hand away, saying sharply, “That’s enough, Xiao Jibo. You clearly know Lin Mo and Qianqian haven’t… yet you’re asking him to be your witness. Aren’t you deliberately disgusting him?”
She had wanted to say that Lin Mo and Su Qianqian were not divorced yet, but considering the crowd, she held back.
Xiao Jibo’s face darkened slightly. Being embarrassed in public, he naturally wanted to retaliate.
Just as he was about to speak, Su Qianqian interrupted, “Enough.”
“Lin Mo, I’ve already made myself very clear. The only person in my heart is Xiao Jibo.”
“Although you’ve treated me well and taken care of me over the past three years, that wasn’t love.”
“It was just a transaction between us. I’m grateful to you, but that’s not a reason for you to morally bind me.”
“So… you should leave. Stop clinging to me. The only person in my heart is Jibo.”
Su Qianqian looked at Lin Mo, her tone firm.
Xiao Jibo’s smile widened.
His gaze toward Lin Mo was full of provocation, like a victor.
Lin Mo felt helpless. He was just about to explain—
When a cheerful voice suddenly rang out not far away.
“Senior Lin, I’m over here…”
