Hug me, Master Qiao! - chapter 42

The corner of Qiao Sinian’s lips was upturned. Was she swiping his card?

“Turn around and go to Heng Tong Plaza.”

“Yes, Master Qiao.”

The driver immediately turned the car around. Originally, they had planned to go to Qiao Group, however, Master Qiao appeared to want to go to the plaza.

Fortunately, they weren’t far away from the plaza. It was a ten-minute drive.

After the car stopped, Qiao Sinian went to the VIP room.

“Master Qiao.”

Everyone in the room stood up. They didn’t know that Master Qiao would be coming over.

If they had been given notice, they would have done some preparations.

Was Master Qiao coming over for a surprise inspection?

Qiao Sinian walked over to the surveillance and glanced at it.

Sure enough, Ye Jiaqi was in the mall with a friend.

Ye Jiaqi held a shopping bag in her hands, but her face was unhappy and was pouting.

As Qiao Sinian looked at the surveillance, his face was cold and his eyes appeared deep and unyielding.

“Clear the place.”

As soon as he gave his order, the general manager standing behind him was startled. However, he immediately nodded.

“Yes, Master Qiao.”

It seems like Master Qiao was planning to conduct an unannounced inspection, otherwise, why would he ask them to clear the place.

Even though Master Qiao owns the mall, they would lose tens of thousands by clearing the place.

Yet, the general manager didn’t dare neglect his orders and went to swiftly complete the task given to him.

Ye Jiaqi and You Pianran’s location was the last to be cleared and they were caught off guard.

“Ah, why are they clearing the place?” You Pianran complained.

Ye Jiaqi looked around and realized that there was almost no one remaining.

“I guess there’s a big celebrity coming to shop?” Ye Jiaqi said, giving a possible solution but she too was curious.

“No way. This is a shopping mall in the city center, which celebrity would do something so tasteless? Not every celebrity would be the same as Liang Haotian!”

Ye Jiaqi laughed lightly and asked, “Do you really think that badly of Liang Haotian?”

“Not just bad, it’s very very very bad.”

They kept talking as they were walking out.

The broadcast kept repeating that the mall was closing down temporarily.

Just at that moment, Ye Jiaqi’s phone rang.

Master Qiao?

Master Qiao was calling her of his own accord?

Ye Jiaqi didn’t dare to not answer it. She went to the side and answered the phone lightly, “Hello…”

“Stay where you are for a minute.”

“Huh?”

Qiao Sinian hung up the phone.

Ye Jiaqi didn’t know what Qiao Sinian meant. She looked around and didn’t see him.

Crowds of people were heading out…

“Jiaqi, let’s go. They’re closing the doors.” You Pianran urged as she dragged Ye Jiaqi’s hands.

“Wait, wait, I have… Ah, Pianran!”

Ye Jiaqi didn’t finish her words before a crowd of people swept You Pianran away!

“Jiaqi, Jiaqi!”

Just as Ye Jiaqi wanted to chase after her, the crowd broke apart and the doors of the mall closed up with a bang!

The doors of the mall were closed!

The bustling mall just a moment ago was empty and silent!

Ye Jiaqi was in shock!

She looked around her and realized she was alone!

Left-right and center, she was the only one there.

She was in a panic and felt incredibly overwhelmed about the series of events that just happened.

Her heart was restless and beating rapidly, up and down.

At this moment, her phone rang again.

It was Master Qiao.

“Master Qiao…”

“Turn around.”

“Huh?”

“Turn around.”

Ye Jiaqi held onto her phone and turned around.

Around twenty meters away, Qiao Sinian put his phone into his suit pockets.

Following which, he walked towards Ye Jiaqi.

His steps were strong and vigorous.

The empty shopping mall became a backdrop for Qiao Sinian. The bright light shone onto his ink colored shirt and straight suit pants, which added elements of assertiveness and calmness.
