Chapter 837: The Strokes on this Painting look Familiar

Jun Yexua pursed his lips, “I’m not sure. But if my illness really is his doing, then it’s a very likely possibility.”

Though he didn’t sound emotional when he said it, Qiao Qing’s heart tightened.

Jun Yexuan held onto Qiao Qing’s hand and smiled at her. The gentleness in his eyes poured out.

“Qingqing, don’t worry. As a man, one breakdown is enough for a lifetime.”

Mu Jinghang scrunched his nose and tried not to take part in this PDA. He asked, “Where are we going now?”

Qiao Qing said, “Eat, then go to the Quan family.”

Mu Jinghang asked, “Are we eating back at the castle?”

Jun Yexuan rolled his eyes, “Am I bankrupt? Why would I go back and look at the old man?”

Mu Jinghang chuckled and stopped speaking.

The group dined outside then drove to the Quan family home.

Inside the Quan family home.

The butler was surprised to see so many strangers and asked, “You guys are…?”

When he glanced across the group and saw Qiao Qing, he gasped.

This girl looked a bit familiar.

Qi Yusen and Jun Yexuan noticed this and narrowed their eyes. They stepped forward and protected Qiao Qing.

Qi Yusen said, “I’m Qi Yusen, from the Qi family in the Capital Country. Beside me here are my sister and Jun Yexuan from the Jun family. We are here to see Duke Quan Zexi.”

Mu Jinghang, “…”

Wan Kaiyi heard the introduction and thought he was overthinking it.

When he looked back at Jun Yexuan, he exclaimed, “You have grown up so much, I barely recognized you. I heard the news that you’re back but I thought it was just a rumor. How have you been?”

These caring statements didn’t get much reaction from Jun Yexuan. He paid his respect, “Thank you for your nice words. I have been well. I simply wonder if the Duke is home right now for a quick meeting?”

Wan Kaiyi said, “What’s this in reference to? Unfortunately, the Duke went out today and isn’t home.”

Everyone was surprised to hear that while Jun Yexuan asked, “When will he be back?”

Wan Kaiyi shook his head, “Us servants aren’t allowed to keep tabs on the Duke’s schedule. If you have an emergency, you can tell me and I will relay the message the moment he comes back.”

Jun Yexuan frowned, “Do you have his phone? Can’t you call him?”

Wan Kaiyi was surprised to find that this man’s personality has changed a lot since the last met.

He nodded, “Please wait here.”

While Wan Kaiyi was away, Qiao Qing toured the living room and checked out the decorations.

When she saw a painting that was hanging on the wall, she stopped her steps and leaned in closer for a better view.

Jun Yexuan asked curiously, “What is it? What’s wrong with this painting?”

Qiao Qing was too into it and didn’t answer him. She stared at the painting for a long time and finally said, “The strokes on this painting look familiar.”

Jun Yexuan, “Familiar?”

Qiao Qing looked away, “Yes, but the style is different. Maybe I’m overthinking.”
