Xu Qing shook her head to show that she didn’t care, but there was doubt in her eyes.

Was Qiao Yanqi really just a sibling to Qiao Yanhui? No matter if it was two years ago or two years later, Qiao Yanqi’s reaction was a little too extreme. They had not interacted at all, so why was Qiao Yanqi so resistant to her? Was it because of her identity? But they had never interacted before. Qiao Yanqi knew that she could save Qiao Yanhui, and the two of them had a relationship foundation. However, his sister, Qiao Yanqi, couldn’t accept this. Was this really the normal reaction of a sister towards her brother?

Moreover, Xu Qing didn’t believe that Qiao Yanqi didn’t know about Qiao Yanhui’s situation. As a man who had always kept a distance from women, there might never be someone able to enter his heart and become a compatible partner. How lonely would he be in that case? Even if there was a marriage alliance with someone of compatible status, who could fill the void in his heart? Now, such a person had appeared, but Qiao Yanqi couldn’t accept it…

Qiao Yanhui didn’t care if Qiao Yanqi liked Xu Qing or not. It was enough as long as he was certain that Xu Qing was the one. After all, he was the one looking for a spouse to accompany him for the rest of his life, not Qiao Yanqi.

But now, it seemed like it was time to find a suitable husband for Qiao Yanqi. This time, he wouldn’t let her get her way again! Previously, every marriage candidate was very suitable and could tolerate Qiao Yanqi’s temper, but in the end, without exception, some sort of accident would happen to them. Fortunately, those accidents were just various problems at home, instead of fatal accidents.

For a period of time, there were all sorts of rumors about Qiao Yanqi in the capital, and she was considered a jinx. It had to be known that such a reputation was disastrous to any girl. No matter how distinguished one was, one’s reputation could still get severely damaged by rumors.

Society was much harsher towards girls.

Therefore, it was impossible for Qiao Yanhui to ignore it. Even if they didn’t dare to say it out loud because of his position, it was inevitable that they would discuss it behind his back. Qiao Yanhui suspected that someone was targeting him, and that Qiao Yanqi was simply implicated, but Qiao Yanhui couldn’t find out who did it. However, as long as a man had the intention to marry Qiao Yanqi, something would happen to him. This wasn’t a coincidence.

Qiao Yanhui also accidentally heard Qiao Yanqi muttering to herself, “This time… it was done beautifully. The person who wanted to marry me got killed… What a good warning to ward off stubborn pursuers…”

At that time, Qiao Yanhui had asked Qiao Yanqi about it, but she cried as she explained that she didn’t know and that she just didn’t want to get married. She was afraid of leaving the Qiao family, and now that an accident had happened, there was no need for her to get married…

After all, she was his only sister, so Qiao Yanhui didn’t want to interrogate her too much, but he still took it to heart. He didn’t force her to choose a suitable husband, but things were different now. She had been indulged time and time again, making her even more willful.

It could be said that in the past, apart from his family and country, Qiao Yanhui had nothing else he cared about. But when he was with Xu Qing, he felt like he had become a normal person with human emotions. It was also because of this that he had to protect her and couldn’t bear to see her suffer.

He also didn’t want two people who were obviously at odds to live together. If the two of them had fewer chances to see each other, there would be less conflict.

Qiao Yanhui turned to look at Xu Qing and said, “Let’s go bring the children back to live with us.”

That’s right, they were being brought back. To Qiao Yanhui, the children and Xu Qing were his family, so they naturally had to live together.

Xu Qing blushed. Why didn’t she notice that this man was so bossy in the past? But she still nodded. Now that the matter had been clarified, she didn’t want to be apart from him anymore. However, she still said, “I’ll go. You can deal with the matter at hand.” She looked at Hua Yuncheng and Deng Jiangming.

The two of them had been waiting since Qiao Yanhui came out. They must have something to discuss with Qiao Yanhui. Xu Qing knew very well that Qiao Yanhui wasn’t the fool from before. He must have a lot of things to deal with.

Qiao Yanhui nodded. However, Xu Qing didn’t know what he was going to deal with! After Hua Yuncheng and Deng Jiangming entered the room, the two of them realized it and could only smile bitterly.

They knew that some things couldn’t be avoided.

Qiao Yanhui wanted to know what Xu Qing had experienced during these two years without him. How did she raise three children all by herself…
