Escaped wife of a Tyrant CEO - chapter 88
There was a faint smell of smoke in the office, and Nuonuo sniffed. The smell of smoke didn’t dissipate.
The floor-to-ceiling windows were open. Maybe Qiu Li wanted to dispel the smell.
She heard that these people who often stayed up late working, smoked to keep their minds awake and running at high speed.
Nuonuo recalled that Qiu Li rarely smoked in front of her.
She still felt a little timid in her heart.
After all, her purpose wasn’t good. She hoped that he would let her go. Aunt Chen said that the family originally had four blackhounds, but the only one who died was the one who was the least obedient and loyal.
After what Chen Qian did, Qiu Li ignored Zhang Qingduo. Although he was used by Chen Qian, Qiu Li was still angry with him. Aunt Chen said that people were different from the black hounds, and Qiu Li and Zhang Qingduo had brotherhood for many years.
Nuonuo knocked on the door.
Qiu Li raised his eyes and smiled, “Come here.”
Nuonuo walked over. She didn’t know where to look, and she remained polite not looking at the things on his table. What if she saw the company secret by mistake?
When he saw her dressed like that, he looked at her softly.
Compared with his simple and neat dress, she became a ball, cute and lovely.
Qiu Li knew she was afraid of the cold, but still came to the company to find him.
With a pull, she sat on his lap. Nuonuo was most afraid of this while coming to him.
She looked at him with some distress.
He was really in a good mood, he chuckled softly, “Be good, I will only hug you.”
He just hugged her waist gently. He was afraid of scaring her, so he didn’t dare to use force.
Through her thick clothes, he could still feel the softness of her slim waist.
“Is there something, eh?”
Nuonuo’s cheeks were flushed. She was thankful that Qiu Li had not removed her mask. Her eyes were wet, because she was ashamed and didn’t know how to answer. She held the apple in her hand and showed it to him.
In her white sheep gloves, she held a chubby apple.
The girl looked beautiful.
Nuonuo had no makeup and her skin was relatively fragile in winter. She didn’t wear makeup in the villa except for school.
“My gift?”
Nuonuo nodded and said, “Aunt Chen gave it to you.”
He laughed so uncontrollably that his chest trembled slightly. Nuonuo was stupefied, she didn’t understand what he was laughing at. Nuonuo was already ashamed, she was not used to getting along with Qiu Li.
She was annoyed, “Don’t laugh.”
The smile spread in his eyes, “I like what you gave.”
He lowered his head and took a bite of the apple in her palm.
Nuonuo froze. She hesitated for a long while, and said in a low voice timidly, “Don’t eat it. It’s not washed.”
Aunt Chen said that if she went to see him, he would be happy even if she gave him an apple. But who knew he would really eat it.
She vividly remembered the time when he made Song Lian cut the fruit for him.
Qiu Li laughed, “It’s okay.”
Nuonuo thought that he would be angry, but he showed no signs of anger at all.
Since when did the male lead have such a good temper?
“Is it cold outside?”
Nuonuo shook her head, “I was in the car, not cold.”
She didn’t want to get along with Qiu Li for fear of seeing his possessive eyes.
He wanted her to be in his arms, in his breath.
Nuonuo said, “Then I am going back. You …” She paused, then continued, “You pay attention to your body, the weather is cold, wear more clothes.”
There was a gentle emotion in his eyes and he smiled, “Okay.”
“You let me go.”

Rinosano
He’s either laughing because he realized it was not a gift from her but from aunt chen so he felt disappointed, or he’s laughing cause he’s happy over a single apple
Bam
I think he is laughing bc he knew that Nuonuo was only making excuses. It was obvious that Aunt Chen will not have a guts to gift him as simple as one apple.
Plus, Nuonuo is the one who decided to give it to him and Aunt Chen only suggested it in passing tho.
