"Brother Qiao! What are you doing?! You are scaring me!" Mo Lihua exclaimed anxiously. Fully conscious with the red marks on her neck, she made sure to press her chin towards her c.h.e.s.t to hide them.

She then pounced at his c.h.e.s.t to hide her, which seem to wake him up. Mo Lihua heard Yu Qiao released a deep breath before circling his arms around her.

"I'm sorry. I did not mean to scare you." Yu Qiao replied calmly. He almost snapped at Mo Lihua because of his jealousy. Yes, he is jealousy, and it won't kill him if he accepted that to himself. After all, he does not have the luxury to do what he wants.

Mo Lihua nodded as she enjoys the warmth around her. It felt nice, but it only made her remember what the other things that Yu Qiao's big hands can do are. With that, she felt her face burning up.

"Lihua are you mad at me? For… For… you know. Last night?" He asked carefully, his arms tightening around her like removing her chance to escape and run.

Give it to Yu Qiao to drop the question at the same time Mo Lihua is thinking about it. 'Am I mad you? Yes!' She screamed inside her head while shaking it at the same time — another lie.

"You were drunk…" She replied softly, still enjoying his embrace.

After a deep sigh, "I was drunk, but the alcohol is supposed to go to the stomach, not in the head. I didn't mean too. You do not deserve that. What if there is no Angelo? I may have done worse." He declared honestly, sounding disappointed at himself.

"You regret it greatly?" Mo Lihua asked with sadly before adding. "Don't be too hard on yourself."

Yu Qiao nodded his head before c.a.r.e.s.sing her hair, "I cannot make you mad at me. I could not lose you. If something happened to you…" I cannot bear it. He continued inside his head.

"Then what?" Mo Lihua asked as gently pushed him away, to get free from his strong arms. She then moved towards the soft chair. It is only suitable for a single seating. Thus, Yu Qiao needs to sit on the other side.

"It's nothing." He replied, feeling lost. Yu Qiao sat on the other remaining chair, allowing the table to separate them. "Do you want to eat first?" He asked, while Mo Lihua removed her glasses and wiped her face with a wet tissue cloth from her bag.

"No." Mo Lihua started removing all the makeup on her face, in front of Yu Qiao. They need to talk something important, and she felt that it is just right to remove all pretenses. It is the least she can do.

He continued to watch Mo Lihua wipe her face with lots of cloth-like tissue. The more she does, the more Yu Qiao face shows confusion.

Yu Qiao thought that Mo Lihua from the hospital was covered with makeup, to hide her imperfection. He knows she is beautiful in all honesty. The flaws she is hiding is minor.

But now, when Mo Lihua wiped the blemishes away with just the wet tissue cloth, they miraculously disappeared!

"Lihua, what is-" Yu Qiao immediately wanted to ask, but she raised her hand to stop him. Why Mo Lihua does needs to place the fake blemishes on her face deliberately? Fake, because that is the only explanation he can think off.

"Let me finish first…" Mo Lihua stated. She is almost done, so he did not wait that long. "I will help you with the money. First, I want you to hear some of the conditions and accept them before I continue." She said before he can even ask about her face.

Yu Qiao shook his head, "Lihua, I want to know about your face first."

"That is not important, but if you want to before the conditions, then we have nothing to talk about." Mo Lihua said with indifference.

This Mo Lihua is what he hates as he cannot recognize her. It is like she is an entirely different person. She wants the usual Mo Lihua back!

"What happened to you? What is going on? Why did you suddenly change? Did I do something wrong?" Yu Qiao cannot help but keep on asking. He was embracing her earlier, and all seems to be in the right place, that nothing wrong is going to happen. Then she suddenly changed again.

Mo Lihua released a deep breath. She removed her makeup because Mo Lihua is tired of pretending. There is no point anymore. Regardless of what she does, the Selection will take place, and now she is planning to use her inheritance. "I am sorry, Brother Qiao, I lied to you. What you see now is the real me. I do not need to answer your questions, but if you cannot accept me as me. I believe we have nothing to talk about."
