Chapter 165: Out of It

Jun Yexuan turned around, snatched Qiao Qing’s chin and lifted it, “Answer me . ”

Qiao Qing was angered by his forcefulness . With a cold look in her eyes, she responded, “Yes!”

“Ha~” Jun Yexuan laughed at himself, “How indestructible do I have to be to endure your abandonment time after time?”

Then, he turned around, “Mu Jinghang, drive her home . ”

After he spoke, he walked away .

Qiao Qing watched Jun Yexuan’s lonely silhouette and a strange feeling arose within her .

This feeling never went away even when she got home .

At dinner, He Wanqing used her chopsticks to tap on her bowl, “Why are you so out of it? Did you do badly on the exam?”

“No . ” Qiao Qing quickly went back to eating .

“You got rice on your nose!” He Wanqing moved her bowl, “Tell me . What happened between you and little Xuan . ”

Qiao Qing said, “Nothing . ”

“If nothing, then why aren’t the two back for dinner? Why are you acting like you’ve lost your soul!? Though I’m dumb, I’m still your mom! You think I can’t tell who you’re thinking of?!”

Qiao Qing put down her chopsticks and announced in a serious manner, “From now on, his life will get back on track and he will have nothing to do with us . Mom, act like he never came into our lives . ”

He Wanqing was scared by Qiao Qing’s seriousness . She then sighed, “No wonder people say the road to happiness is full of setbacks . It’s ok that you do not admit how you truly feel . Just don’t be regretful later . ”

Then, she got up and prepared to leave .

Chen Ming quickly shouted after her, “Ma’am, you barely ate . ”

“I don’t want any more food . My good-looking son-in-law is gone because of my own daughter’s doing . I am in no mood to eat . ” He Wanqing sighed as she spoke .

Qiao Qing, “…”

After dinner, Qiao Qing returned upstairs as per normal . She eyed around the empty guest room and nonchalantly went to shower .

After she showered and blow-dried her hair, she picked up her phone and a video call request went to her phone .

For some strange reason, she decided to take the phone and leave the bedroom . She came on the balcony instead .

After she accepted the call, she saw Luo Chen’s enlarged face, “Qingqing, are you about to sleep?”

Qiao Qing, “It’s still early . ”

“Oh . ” Luo Chen answered, “I forgot to ask you this morning . When can I start practicing ancient martial arts . ”

Qiao Qing thought about it, “Have you been bathing in medicine every day?”

“That’s right!” Luo Chen answered, “I didn’t stop for a single day!”

Qiao Qing was silent as she calculated the timeline in her head, “Continue bathing for the next five days . Every day, bathe from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm . After five days, you can come and find me . ”

Luo Chen nodded with a smile, “Okay!”

Just as Qiao Qing was about to hang up, she heard Luo Chen ask her, “Qingqing, are you in a bad mood?”

Qiao Qing played with her fingers, “Why do you say that?”

“I can’t explain,” Luo Chen answered, “It just feels to me that you are not in a good mood . Did you not do well on the exam? But that’s not what you said earlier today . ”

Qiao Qing’s face turned a little dark, “You are wrong . ”

She hung up right after that .

After the call, she remained on the balcony and enjoyed the brisk wind . She then turned off the light on the balcony and borrowed the moonlight to find her way back to her bedroom .

Who knew that before she reached the door, a whoosh of wind would attack her from behind .

Next, her waist felt a wave of pressure as someone hugged her from behind .

Qiao Qing froze up, “Jun Yexuan?”

Jun Yexuan rested his chin on her shoulder and said “Hmm . ”

Qiao Qing went to ply away his arms, “Let me go . ”

“I won’t . ” Jun Yexuan hugged her even tighter .

Qiao Qing found she was suffocated, “You are not leaving?”

Jun Yexuan rubbed his face against her hair, “You heartless girl . Do you want me gone that badly?”

Qiao Qing, “…”
