Chapter 234: 234, Write a Love Letter for Me (4)_1 Chapter 234: 234, Write a Love Letter for Me (4)_1 After hanging up the phone, Shen Hao raised his head to look at Quan Jingwu and said, âBoss, Yi Kai said the last time we went to Y Country to see Count Sophallo, the ladyâs brother was there. Perhaps we can call Count Sophallo and ask about the ladyâs whereabouts.â
âNow.â Quan Jingwuâs eyes were as cold as ice as he gave the order curtly.
Shen Hao immediately understood his meaning, took out his cell phone and found Black Jack Sophalloâs number, and dialed it.
After almost a minute of ringing, when Shen Hao was about to hang up thinking no one was going to answer, a voice came from the other end of the phone.
âWho is this?â
Shen Hao, âHello, Count Sophallo, this is Shen Hao from JK International. Weâve met before.â
At the other end, hearing âJK International,â Black Jack immediately thought of Jian Qing.
âAssistant Shen, why the unexpected call? Do you need something?â
âSorry to disturb, Count Sophallo. Do you happen to know where Miss Jian is?â Shen Hao asked politely.
Did Jian Qing return to M Country without telling Quan Jingwu?
Black Jackâs blue eyes glinted, about to say something as he spotted Jian Qing returning from the corner of his eye.
âPlease hold on a moment.â
Shen Hao frowned in confusion but didnât say anything.
Black Jack stood up and walked towards Jian Qing, one hand covering his phone, âDidnât you tell him about your return?â
Jian Qing looked a little weary. Upon hearing Black Jackâs words, her complexion changed suddenly.
Oh no, Xiaojing!
From her reaction, Black Jack immediately knew what had happened.
He waved the phone in his hand, âHis man called.â
Jian Qing frowned, took out her phone from her pocket, and found that it had run out of battery.
âWill you take it?â Black Jack asked.
She took the phone and saw that it was Shen Haoâs number.
âShen Hao!â
Upon hearing Jian Qingâs voice, Shen Hao could have wept with relief.
Thank goodness, she finally made a sound.
He quickly handed his phone to Quan Jingwu, saying with delight, âBoss, itâs the ladyâs call.â
Almost as soon as he finished, the phone had disappeared from his hand.
Observing his bossâs ghost-like speed, Shen Haoâs mouth twitched.
Was he that eager?
In full knowledge of the situation, he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
They both listened to each otherâs breathing over the phone. Neither of them spoke.
âMy darling!â
âXiaojing!â
Both spoke at the same time, and then fell silent. Then Quan Jingwu spoke again.
âWhy arenât you answering your phone?â His cold, elegant voice carried a touch of resentment and grievance.
Jian Qing nodded at Black Jack and went to stand by the floor-to-ceiling window with the phone.
âXiaojing, my phone ran out of battery,â she explained.
After arriving in M Country, she had been busy with something and forgot to charge her phone.
âDid something happen in M Country that made you rush back?â If she had to hurry back to M Country and forget about her phone, something must have happened.
Jian Qing leaned against the window frame and responded with a hum, âMy grandpa is sick.â
This was the first time she mentioned her grandfather to him.
Not willing to say much about it, she quickly moved on.
But this was Quan Jingwu, he wasnât so easily appeased.
âWhere are you now?â
âWhy, are you afraid Iâm out dating other men?â Jian Qing deviated from the topic teasingly.
Quan Jingwu frowned slightly, âDarling, donât change the subject.â
âRight. How did you think to have Shen Hao call Black Jack?â Jian Qing asked curiously. She didnât remember mentioning Black Jack to him.
âThe person I was negotiating with on the cooperative case in Y Country was Black Jack Sophallo,â Quan Jingwu explained.
Jian Qing then understood â so that was it.
âDarling, donât try to shoulder everything by yourself. Remember, you have me now.â The manâs deep and sexy voice made her heart flutter.
She wouldnât say, so he wouldnât ask. He knew his darling wasnât a canary to be kept in a cage. She was someone who could stand by his side.
And, he would wait. Wait for her to voluntarily unravel all her secrets to him.
Jian Qing lifted her lip corners, her eyes glinting with amusement, âXiaojing, sometimes itâs good to play dumb.â
Her Xiaojing really couldnât hide anything from him!
The cold frost in Quan Jingwuâs eyes melted away, replaced with a soft warmth, âDarling, donât get hurt, eat on time, donât ignore your phone again.â
He prattled on and on. In front of her, the normally reticent Quan Jingwu was nowhere to be seen.
Jian Qing listened quietly, the amusement in her eyes brighter than the stars as she agreed to all his requests.
âWhen are you coming back?â
âWhen my grandpaâs health gets better,â Jian Qing answered.
âShould I come to keep you company?â Elders tended to have health problems⊠his wifeâs return seemed to be an endless wait. He wasnât willing to only be able to hear her news via a cold phone call each day.
Jian Qing chuckled, playfully retorting, âXiaojing, are you trying to seize this opportunity to meet my parents?â
âYes.â He readily admitted.
Jian Qing, ââŠâ
âDarling, youâve met my parents. Turnabout is fair play and itâs my turn now.â Preferably, he would like to also take the household register at the same time and directly go to register their marriage.
Jingwuâs heart skipped a beat.
Jian Qingâs lips curled into a smile and she said, âXiaojing, timing is important for meeting parents.â
âWhen is the right time?â He pressed, seeking for a definite date.
âIâll have to ask my grandpa first,â said Jian Qing with a light chuckle, imagining the look in the manâs eyes.
After a moment of silence, Quan Jingwuâs voice, gentler than ever before, came through the phone, âDarling, write me a love letter when you return.â
The abrupt change in topic left Jian Qing momentarily stunned.
âWhat?â
Did she hear wrong or did he say wrong?
A love letter?
What the hell?
âA love letter. Please write me one,â he reiterated softly.
After confirming once more, Jian Qing was certain she hadnât misheard. She tried to hide her smile.
âWhy suddenly a love letter?â
And why was it her writing to him, not the other way around?
Quan Jingwu thought of the scene he had witnessed at the airport yesterday: a couple reunited, the girl handing her boyfriend a stack of love letters. His crystal-like purple eyes filled with warmth.
âItâs just a sudden whim. Write one for me when you come back, will you?â
