Chapter 609 - 608: Qiaoqiao, Don’t Lie to Me
Li Qiao bowed her head, fiddling with her nails, reluctantly replied, "Madam Xiao makes a fair point, if she could be as Yin and soft as you, perhaps she wouldn’t have left problems for later."
Li Qiao returned the double entendre to Ming Dailan.
For a moment, the air was charged with tension.
Ming Dailan covered the corner of her lips with her forefinger and chuckled softly, her beautiful arched eyes brimming with admiration as she nodded at Li Qiao, "My dear girl, you do have some wisdom and brains. But I am puzzled, why would you choose him of all people? Don’t you fear that in the dead of night, in the silence, he might pick up the butcher’s knife and kill you?"
You see, as a mother, Ming Dailan shamelessly demeaned her son in front of his bodyguards and Li Qiao to the utmost.
Such relentless indoctrination can warp even the strongest mind.
At that moment, Li Qiao’s gaze lightly fell upon Shang Yu. She smiled slightly and, lifting her eyelids, looked towards Ming Dailan with detachment, asking, "How do you know that he won’t, for my sake... put down the butcher’s knife?"
The words "put down the butcher’s knife" echoed with resounding force, grand and imposing.
Li Qiao had never known how to give Shang Yu a sense of security and dependency.
But at this moment, she understood.
If he were to take up the butcher’s knife, she would join him in his demonic path.
