After the call, Qiao Mingyuan was not in a hurry to go back to the ward. Instead, he looked at the other phone in his hand.

It was Xiao Nanye's phone. When the accident happened, Xiao Nanye had been holding it tightly in his hand. When he was sent to the operating room, he did not let go.

There was no password on the phone. After clicking the screen, an unread text message flashed on the screen.

[Xiao Nanye, in fact, I have never told you that I once had a serious illness. I had depression and committed suicide. They all said that I was crazy. In fact, I knew that I was not crazy.]

[At that time, I was locked up in the hospital, and every day I was thinking why I couldn't just die.]

[Now that I think about it, I am glad that I am still alive. Otherwise, how could I meet such a person like you?]

[I like you very much, but sometimes I hate you too. I hate you for locking me up in your world. I hate you for sending people to follow me. I hate you for letting me live according to your wishes.]

[If this goes on, you will drive me crazy.]

[Let us be apart for a while, and let me figure it out, can't I?]

The content was very long, but Qiao Mingyuan still read it word by word.

He did not expect that such an optimistic and lovely girl like Su Mo would have such a past.

She had once suffered from depression and committed suicide. This explained why she was so abnormal during the day.

As Xiao Nanye's brothers, now that Xiao Nanye could find someone he truly liked, they should really give them their blessings. However, Qiao Mingyuan discovered that Xiao Nanye seemed to have fallen into a deep pit.

Xiao Nanye forced himself too hard, and he also forced Su Mo too hard. If this continued, something would happen sooner or later.

Qiao Mingyuan did not know about Su Mo's past, but it was clear that Xiao Nanye wanted to know.

Qiao Mingyuan knew that Xiao Nanye had asked someone to investigate Su Mo's past, but it was obvious that the information he got was not complete. Otherwise, Xiao Nanye would not have been so surprised during the day.

If Xiao Nanye knew that Su Mo had been depressed and tried to commit suicide, wouldn't this master go crazy?

If he knew that Su Mo said she hated him and wanted to be separated from him for a while, Xiao Nanye would definitely be discharged immediately and then catch the woman who tried to escape.

What would happen after she was captured?

It was estimated that Xiao Nanye had to make a chain to lock her up and then raise her under his eyes.

Qiao Mingyuan did not think that he was exaggerating, because this was indeed something that Xiao Nanye would do!

Thinking of this, Qiao Mingyuan shook his head. His finger tapped on the screen a few times, then his finger stopped on the red button, hesitating whether he should delete this message or not.

His finger tapped on the message a few times, and the phone showed a black screen.

Then, Qiao Mingyuan made a phone call. "Where are you? If it's convenient, can you come out and have a cup of tea with me?"

After Su Mo experienced the supermarket during the day, her mood fluctuated greatly.

Although she did not remember how she came out of the supermarket and how she returned to Yu Garden, she could feel that something must have happened.

Because the fear that had once entangled her returned.

After waking up at night, Su Mo had been feeling uneasy. She had made a great decision to send Xiao Nanye that kind of text message.

After sending the text message, Su Mo had been sitting in her room waiting for his reply. She had not slept the entire night, but unexpectedly, after waiting for so long, she would receive a call from Qiao Mingyuan.

It was already dawn outside. After receiving Qiao Mingyuan's call, Su Mo tidied up her mood, changed her clothes, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Ken was not at home. Su Mo greeted Mother Wu and Zhou Mianhong and drove out by herself.

Qiao Mingyuan was usually very busy with work, so the place they had arranged to meet was near the hospital he worked at.

It was a tea restaurant near the hospital, and its business was booming early in the morning.

When Su Mo came in, the upper and lower floors of the restaurant were already full of people, and the person she was looking for was sitting leisurely in a corner near the window to eat.

"Doctor Qiao." Su Mo walked over and greeted him with a forced smile.

"Here you are! Sit down." Qiao Mingyuan looked up at her.

There were a few baskets of snacks on the table in front of him. They looked and smelled great. The man on the other side put down the chopsticks in his hand. "I just finished an operation. I was too hungry and didn't wait for you."

"Order what you like," he said, handing over the menu on the table.

Su Mo took the menu, glanced at it, and placed it beside her hand.

She looked at the food on the table and said, "That's good. If we order too many, we won't finish eating them."

Qiao Mingyuan ordered two people's share, so he did not force her.

He pushed a basket of crystal shrimp dumplings in front of Su Mo and said, "Try it. This is the shop's specialty dish."

"Thank you." Su Mo picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it into her mouth. The dumpling wrapper was thin and the meat was fresh. It was indeed very delicious.

This shop looked ordinary on the outside, but she didn't expect the food made to be so delicious. No wonder it was full of customers early in the morning.

Su Mo ate something else. While she was eating, Qiao Mingyuan did not say anything. Seeing that she put down her chopsticks slower and slower, he slowly opened his mouth.

"Su Mo."

Qiao Mingyuan took off his glasses and leaned against the soft back. He lowered his eyelids slightly to hide the tiredness in his eyes. The operation just now had consumed a lot of his strength.

"Doctor Qiao?" Su Mo looked up at him.

She seemed to have always called Qiao Mingyuan this way. She called Ah Ze President Jiang and Han Zi Lawyer Han. She even called Xiao Nanye by his name. In fact, Qiao Mingyuan understood that she was still holding back.

She was ready to retreat at any time, but Xiao Nanye was already in deep trouble.

"Call me by my name!" Qiao Mingyuan curled his lips, a faint smile on his face. He said half-jokingly, "We are already so familiar with each other."

From Su Mo's point of view, Qiao Mingyuan was the most normal among the four of them. Although he had always been unsmiling, she had always had a good impression of him.

Qiao Mingyuan did not have the typical characteristics of a doctor, and she would not feel resistant. When she was with him, she felt very relaxed.

She had always felt that Qiao Mingyuan was a very serious person. She never thought that he would joke with her, so she looked at him foolishly.

Qiao Mingyuan thought to himself, "This is actually her reaction. Could it be that handsome trap is no longer useful these days?"

"Why? Is my name so unpopular?" Qiao Mingyuan shook his head helplessly.

"No, no," Su Mo quickly explained with a wave of her hands, "Doctor Qiao, don't misunderstand me."

Doctor Qiao! Doctor Qiao! Doctor Qiao!

"Sigh, forget it. Since you don't want to, I can't force you." Qiao Mingyuan pretended to be sad and sighed.

Su Mo was simple-minded. She only thought that he treated her as a friend, but she refused to even call him by his name. She felt a little guilty.

However, she was so stifled that her face turned red. As a result, she opened her mouth, but she only shouted the word "Qiao".

"Just call me Ah Yuan as Ah Ye does."

Only then did Su Mo follow his words and shout, "Ah Yuan."

For some reason, Su Mo was not used to calling him that.

There was a scholarly aura around Qiao Mingyuan, and Su Mo felt that calling him by his name was like blaspheming him.

This feeling was too strange. She quickly picked up the cup in front of her and gulped down a large mouthful of water.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Mingyuan stopped teasing her.

He straightened his face and said, "I'm a little younger than Ah Ye, so I have to call you sister-in-law. If you don't like to call me Ah Yuan, you can call me Qiaoqiao like Ah Ze does."

Puff!

Her saliva sprayed all over the table. Su Mo covered her mouth and coughed until her heart and lungs hurt. Her face instantly warmed up. She had never been so rude in front of outsiders.

On the other hand, Qiao Mingyuan was much calmer. He even thoughtfully handed her a tissue and said, "Tsk tsk, your reaction is really heartbreaking. You should know that this is the privilege I give to my own people!"

Could anyone imagine the appearance of a gentle and handsome guy playing coy in front of you?

Su Mo swore that this was not fun at all. It was not easy for her to stop coughing. When she heard this, she choked half to death.

No wonder the Eldest Miss said that Beauty Qiao was the one who hid the deepest and the most terrifying among the four of them. His words were simply killing people invisibly!

Only half of the food on the table was eaten, and the rest was all ruined.

Su Mo was a little embarrassed. She was full, but Qiao Mingyuan had not eaten much!

Just as she was about to call the waiter over to withdraw the things, she heard Qiao Mingyuan say, "Actually, I called you here today to talk to you about you and Ah Ye."

As she heard him mention Xiao Nanye, the expression on Su Mo's face changed slightly. She lowered her head and did not speak.

Qiao Mingyuan said, "I hope you can understand that I'm not meddling in other people's business. It's just that Ah Ye is very worried about you. I've known him for so long, but I've never seen him care so much about anyone."

The rims of Su Mo's eyes reddened. She looked up at him and said, "You are his brother. Naturally, you are speaking to him."

Qiao Mingyuan really wanted to cry out for injustice. He hadn't even started speaking when he had already been convicted. How could he continue to talk about this?

Therefore, doctors only cared about curing diseases and saving people. Such a thankless task should be handed over to lawyers since brainwashing clients and opponents was their specialty.

But after waiting for a while and seeing that Qiao Mingyuan did not speak, Su Mo was unhappy again. "You didn't speak. Was I right? Did Xiao Nanye ask you to come?"

"What can he not tell me? Coward!"

Qiao Mingyuan was speechless.

He thought to himself, "Young Master Xiao, you have to forgive me. I didn't mean to turn you into a coward!"

If Han Ziyi knew that there would be a day when Qiao Mingyuan was rendered speechless by others, that guy with a belly full of evil tricks would definitely laugh at him.

Qiao Mingyuan smiled and shook his head. Instead of answering, he asked, "Did Ah Ye tell you about his childhood?"

"No."

Su Mo was obviously not very interested in Young Master Xiao's matter. She was just thinking about whether that person had received her text message or not.

Su Mo's attitude was within Qiao Mingyuan's expectations, but since he was able to invite her here, he naturally had a foolproof plan.

"Then, do you know the real reason why Ah Ye was sent abroad when he was a child?"
