Chapter 1185: Chapter 1245

After tidying up, Qiao Xi came out looking as wilty as an eggplant knocked over by Lin.

"I’m heading back first, Nuonuo, be good and listen to Daddy," Qiao Xi lowered her head and said, then turned and ran off.

Rong Xun, "..."

Nuonuo blinked and said, "Daddy, why don’t you marry Aunt Qiao Xi? Then I can live with her every day."

Rong Xun felt a lump in his throat and looked at his daughter calmly, asking, "Do you like her that much? Why?"

"Why else? Because Aunt Qiao Xi is nice and she’s good to me too." Nuonuo answered seriously.

"Maybe she’s just being nice because of your status?" Rong Xun said deliberately.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Aunt Qiao Xi isn’t like that! She’s a gentle, lovely little fairy, just like Auntie." Nuonuo tilted her head and spoke.

"You actually know about fairies?"

Rong Xun felt relieved seeing his daughter become more cheerful with each passing day.

"Of course I know; Auntie and Aunt Qiao Xi are both little fairies, those bad women are old witches, they’re so awful!" Nuonuo said indignantly, clenching her little fists.

Rong Xun laughed at his daughter, noticing how much she had changed lately, becoming much more cheerful.

This was all thanks to Qiao Xi, having her as Nuonuo’s mom seemed like a pretty good idea.

Rong Xun was surprised by his own thoughts, wondering why he truly had these thoughts?

Looks like he was getting played by his daughter.

The little girl was becoming more and more clever; she even had her own little plans.

...

When Qiao Xi returned, her colleagues all looked at her awkwardly, their smiles equally awkward; some of the audacious ones came over to greet her, asking with concern about her injuries.

Qiao Xi said it was no big deal and thanked everyone for their concern.

"Qiao Xi, everyone misunderstood you in the past, I hope you don’t take it to heart?" A female colleague bravely looked at her, wanting to know if she would retaliate.

"You didn’t do anything harmful to me or Nuonuo, since it’s a misunderstanding, let’s leave it behind, just don’t spread rumors in the future." Qiao Xi felt her colleagues had erred, but the company couldn’t possibly dismiss so many people at once, and it still needed everyone’s efforts.

The colleagues who had spread rumors all breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her words, thankful their jobs were safe.

This time, they really needed to learn their lesson, never again blindly follow gossip, almost losing their jobs.

Qiao Xi returned to her office, collapsing onto the sofa; she felt pain everywhere, as if she had been beaten all over. Her hand hurt, her feet hurt, her chest hurt...

Sitting on the sofa, she started thinking about Rong Xun applying medicine to her, the scene replaying endlessly in her mind like she was possessed. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

She suddenly sprang up, oh my God, what was she thinking? She shouldn’t dwell on it, he was her idol, a man as divine as a god in her life, her guiding light!

She couldn’t think about it anymore, couldn’t do it.

The office door was knocked, and Qiao Xi immediately sat upright, letting the person in—it was the manager, who heard she was back, and came to see her.

"Wow, how did you get scratched up like this? Those three women went too far! They were too ruthless!" The manager looked at Qiao Xi’s scratched-up face, feeling her pain.
