Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Verbal Thanks Are the Most Useless

In the car, Ye Wei was chattering incessantly, looking at Xia Qiaoan left and right.

Xia Qiaoan was absentminded, looking at the streetlights outside the window.

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Wei noticed Xia Qiaoan's unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Are you scared? These two scum, we must make them rot in jail."

Ye Wei's words reminded Xia Qiaoan of Li Mochen rushing in.

This wasn't the first time he had rushed in for her. Before, at the Jinming mansion, she almost fell, and it was Li Mochen who ran over in time to catch her.

This time too, if she hadn't had the ability to save herself, as an ordinary woman, if Li Mochen hadn't come in time, she would have suffered a great loss.

Xia Qiaoan was blowing in the wind, trying to smooth out her somewhat chaotic thoughts.

Coincidentally, Xiao Lan called at this moment.

Xia Qiaoan quickly answered, knowing that Xiao Lan wouldn't call her at night unless there was an emergency.

As soon as the call connected, Xiao Lan said urgently, "Anan, I can't reach Mochen, are you two together?"

"I...I'm not," Xia Qiaoan told the truth.

Xiao Lan was very anxious, "A childhood friend of his contacted me, saying Mochen drank a lot of alcohol and drove out himself. It's too dangerous, what should we do, should we call the police... but if we call the police, he'll be drunk driving."

Xia Qiaoan held the phone, stunned.

"Drinking and driving is no small matter, he's being foolish. He has a driver, and if not, there's always a designated driver. What could be so urgent?"

"Don't worry, I'll try to contact him," Xia Qiaoan could only comfort Xiao Lan first, "I'll let you know the first time I find him."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Qiaoan said, "Gu Yu, drop me off in the city center, you two go and get busy."

Ye Wei asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xia Qiaoan looked at Gu Yu; Gu Yu didn't know anything about her and Li Mochen. She didn't want to say much, "I have something to do, I'll be back after I'm done. You two go home quickly."

"What can't be done tomorrow in the dark? What if your sister-in-law is up to no good again, no, you have to come with me to my house..."

"Ye Wei!" Gu Yu suddenly lost his composure, then coaxed, "Weiwei, Qiaoan isn't a child anymore. She has her own plans, and it's late, we should go home too."

Ye Wei was very dissatisfied, "You..."

Xia Qiaoan stopped her, "Gu Yu is right. Okay, I can get out up ahead, drop me off there."

...

Xia Qiaoan came to the villa they used to share.

The car was parked in the garage, and the villa was pitch black.

She stood outside the floor-to-ceiling window, trying hard to look inside. Not a single light was on, she couldn't see anything, and it seemed like no one was there.

Xia Qiaoan muttered to herself, "Maybe he went to the hospital himself."

Just as she was turning to leave, she suddenly saw a point of fire burning in the pitch-black living room.

With the light of the fire, Xia Qiaoan saw Li Mochen's profound face, like a carved figure, as cold and ruthless as ever, but now with a touch of loneliness.

Xia Qiaoan wasn't a pretentious person. Since she was here, she decided to go in and take a look, and then leave after giving Xiao Lan an explanation.

She knocked on the door, but there was no response.

Xia Qiaoan looked at the fingerprint lock. She reached out to touch it, "He probably changed the password."

She gave it a try.

Her finger went on it, and the fingerprint lock "clicked" open.

It was true, Li Mochen, a big CEO, simply wouldn't have time to think about changing the password. He probably wouldn't even know how to operate it.

Xia Qiaoan gently pushed open the door.

"Who is it? Get out," Li Mochen didn't turn his head, this place, besides Xia Qiaoan and Xiao Lan, no third person would know.

At this time, his mother, Xiao Lan, couldn't possibly be here.

And Xia Qiaoan, the possibility of her appearing was even more minuscule.

It could only be some daredevil thief.

The thief was stunned, but still boldly walked inside.

"Want to die?"

Li Mochen turned his head, and the lights in the living room suddenly came on, blindingly bright.

"Li Mochen, it's me."

Before Li Mochen could get angry, Xia Qiaoan preemptively spoke.

Li Mochen slowly lowered the hand that had been covering his eyes, and those always indifferent eyes, now had some different emotions.

"What kind of place is this, you come and go as you please?" Li Mochen's lips curled, with sarcasm and disdain in his words.

Xia Qiaoan had already anticipated this reaction, "Sorry to disturb you, Mom can't reach you and is very worried. I just wanted to see if you were okay and leave. Call Mom back."

"If Mom wasn't worried, you wouldn't have come, right?"

"Yes."

"Good, very good." Li Mochen leaned lazily against the sofa, "Xia Qiaoan, you're heartless."

"Li Mochen, I'm very grateful that you could come and save me today, but besides gratitude, I don't know what else to say to you."

"Get out," Li Mochen spat out the word fiercely.

"Okay," Xia Qiaoan replied simply, but before leaving, she skillfully went to get the medicine box, expertly took out the medication, and went straight to the sofa, "These medications take effect quickly. This is a spray, spray it, then rub it a little, and then apply this. I'll leave them here."

She was grateful, but she could only do so much.

Xia Qiaoan prepared to leave.

Suddenly, the door was closed, and with a "thud," it was locked.

A voice tinged with desire sounded from behind, "I told you, verbal thanks are the most useless."
