Chapter 190: Let it be a Cold War

ankly, watching the car disappear into the distance. "So eager to return to the Jun family""Jun Shao, what about Yi Yi! You, how can you..."Anne was stunned and didn't react. This man hadn't even both...Jo Bao'er leaned sideways, turning her head to glance boredly at the restaurant entrance.

The next second, her eyes widened slightly, startled.

"You... you were here all along..." A slender figure rushed toward her, panting, their words coming out in short bursts.

qiao Baoer didn't understand. Xia Chui Xue was completely drenched, her clothes, hair, and fingers were still dripping with water, very disheveled.

"What are you doing"

"Baby, I'm so sorry, I borrowed ZhiMu's phone. I... I shouldn't have answered your call directly just now... I," Xia Chui Xue was pale from the rain and gasped as she explained hurriedly, "We were very worried about you, don't be angry with ZhiMu, I'm sorry..."

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing to me

"Qiao Bao'er, what kind of tantrum are you throwing!"

A stately figure strode quickly toward the restaurant's glass doors, his voice gritted with anger and frustration.

"On a rainy day, you ran out and even turned off your phone. Qiao Baier, are you deliberately trying to get attention!"

Lu Qinan was furious, looking at her calmly eating dinner. Compared to Xia Chuixue's dishevelled appearance, he couldn't help but want to scold her.

He had mentioned it to Junzhimu countless times, women can't be coddled, they are simply becoming spoiled.

This ordinary Chinese restaurant, which is less than one hundred square meters in size, instantly became tense because of the arrival of these esteemed guests.

A few shop assistants huddled in a corner. If they remembered correctly, the one with brown hair was Lu Gongzi, the most popular man in town among women. The other... though unfamiliar, seemed even more intimidating.

Where did the big shot come from.

Jo Bao'er remained expressionless and motionless, still seated in her place.

She completely ignored Lu Qinian's scolding, without any response. Moreover, she knew that although Jun Zhimu didn't speak to reprimand her, his eyes were deep and fiercely staring at...

What did I do wrong again

He remained expressionless, his gaze finally settling on Xia Chui Xue who stood before him, drenched.

Early autumn, especially tonight, Xia Chuxue attended a business cocktail party wearing a dress that was quite revealing. The white fabric was somewhat sheer, and when it got wet, it clung to her skin, exposing her fair shoulders and the long legs hidden beneath the skirt. The lighting in this restaurant was soft and not too bright, but it was still possible to clearly see the red tattoo on her chest...

It was rare for Qiao Bao'er not to retort.

The restaurant, being a public place, and it being dinner time with a lot of customers, the few people fell silent.

"Alright, guys, when you go back later, don't scold her... It's all my fault."

Xia Chuixue, looking drenched and disheveled, definitely needed to leave as soon as possible. She wasn't sure what the couple outside was talking about, but she could see guilt all over the woman's face, while the man standing opposite her remained silent, taking off his coat and handing it to her.

Xia Chui Xue naturally put on his suit jacket, smiled at him, and turned around to get into the car very nimbly.

The car moved forward through the rainy night, the woman inside frequently looking back, with longing...

The waiter walked over with a tray of dishes and carefully placed a small pot of porridge down. Qiao Bao'er retracted her gaze and didn't look back at the 'tender and reluctant' scene outside the glass window. Such a bother!

"You have quite the appetite, don't you" Lu Qinian sat directly across from her, dripping with sarcasm.

qiao bao er showed no anger, calmly taking a spoon and eating little by little.

Treat him like air.

Lu Qinan was even angrier, "Hey, Qiao Baier, at least reflect on yourself a little. Xiaoxue is just worried and nervous that you'd be jealous. She turned off her phone because she thought something might happen to you. When she realized she made a mistake, she rushed into the rain to find you. Don't you have any conscience..."

She still ignored him.

"Don't you think I'm right!" Lu Qinan thought for a moment, feeling that Qiao Baoer was acting strangely tonight.

"No."

She ate about half a bowl, feeling that the porridge was a bit too bland and didn't want to drink anymore. She put down her spoon and replied in a flat tone, "It's my fault." Then, she left without expression.

Lu Qinan widened his eyes, watching her straighten her back and walk step by step towards the restaurant door. A strange feeling arose in his heart. If she usually shouted 'it's all my fault', it would definitely be an angry remark. But this time, she was so calm.

What's wrong with her

Back at Jun's house, Fang Yun had been waiting at the entrance of Dongyuan Villa. Seeing them get out of the car, he ran over first.

"Madam, are you alright"

Fan Dama's voice was tense, but the woman who got out of the car acted like nothing had happened. As soon as she opened her mouth, she said, "I want to have some dried scallop and lean meat congee. Please make some for me."

Fang Yun heard her words, stunned for a moment before she could react. She turned to look at the other man who had just come out of the car, "Young Master Zhi Mu, you said on the phone just now..." Saying Qiao Baoer hadn't arrived at the hotel and disappeared >>>

Junzhi Mu said nothing, strode past Qiao Ba'er and went upstairs to his study.

Jo Bao'er remained expressionless, watching as the man before her walked with heavy steps. It was clear he was angry.

Before, when they argued, he would definitely start lecturing her. But now, starting sometime unknown, just like their drive back, the only thing left in the car between them was silence.

Silence, more aloof than ever after the argument.

Fang Yun looked at them, her heart pounding. Were they throwing a tantrum

She spoke in a soothing tone, "My lady, actually Master Zhimu is worried about you..."

"Who wants his worries anyway!"

Qiao Baoer had a lot of anger bottled up inside her tonight. As soon as she got home, she exploded, letting out an exasperated curse in frustration. She stomped up the stairs angrily and slammed the bedroom door shut.

Qiao Bao'er was very annoyed, grabbed her pajamas and ran to the bathroom, deciding to take another bath. Lying in the bathtub, the warm water calmed her emotions slightly.

Tap, tap, tapping listlessly on the surface of the bathtub, sending droplets flying and splashing onto her face, soaking her hair.

The bathroom was spacious, with ventilation systems installed in all four corners. She felt secure soaking herself, emptying her mind.

I don't know how long it had been, even the full-length mirror embedded in the right wall was obscured by mist, and the entire space was filled with a thick layer of white steam.

"Well, I can't starve my son..."

She was dazed and remembered that she hadn't finished her dinner yet. She scrambled to her feet.

Just then, a loud bang came from the bathroom door, startling the naked woman. She slipped on her feet and almost fell.

"I've told you so many times, don't soak for too long! Stand up!!"

Jo Bao'er had a narrow escape, supporting the man in front of her. She was probably too startled by Jun Zhi Mu's sudden entrance, and after being scolded by him, she forgot to retort.

Jun's master skillfully pulled off the scarf, bundling her up in his arms.

He was very strong, holding her with ease even though she weighed a significant amount. Qiao Baoer's cheek pressed against his left heart, unable to ignore his powerful heartbeat and his unique masculine scent, cold...yet it gave women a sense of security.

He seems to have always been very capable and formidable, as if nothing could faze him.

"Lord Shepherd, what is wrong"

qiao Baoer didn't know what was wrong. She suddenly screamed and nervously clasped his neck with both hands.

Jun Zhimu, unexpectedly bumped into a tea table while walking, his body swaying unsteadily. He was momentarily at a loss and, holding her tightly, almost fell.

Qiao Bao'er looked up at him, her eyes wide with surprise.

The man's face turned pale at the top of his head, his eyes slightly opened, a flash of fear in his pupils. Fear It didn't belong to Jun Zhimu.

It's as if he suddenly went blind.

Qiao Bao'er suddenly felt anxious inside.

What's wrong!

"Junzhimu..." Her voice was low, she called out again, carefully.

Qiao Baoer had never seen him so at a loss, she was very flustered. She could feel that he was trying his best to regulate his breathing, and he was making a great effort to stand straight, as if desperately pretending...

Her eyes welled up. "Jun Zhi Mu, put me down." She pushed against his chest, trying to stand on her own because in this situation, she was just a burden to him.

She had always hated being a burden to him.

"I'm fine."

He was very strong and persistent.

He remained upright, walking steadily and carefully. He only released his grip when he had safely placed her on the bed…

Qiao Baoer didn't speak again, and it seemed like just an illusion.y, it all stems from your identity as Tang Yu's girlfriend. This very identity means that even if one day Jun Zhimu develops feelings for you, the two of you wouldn't be able to be together.""He, the...
