Chapter 264: What She Says Is Never What She Means
“Afterwards, to ensure there would be no issues for Qingqing and to make sure Qingqing had a peaceful life, he made sure her cousin left the country.”
“It was also my third brother who handicapped that person who thought he had a chance with Qingqing. He avenged Qingqing and also made sure he doesn’t try anything funny.”
“Has Feng Heng thought of all those things? Has he ever done anything? No!”
“He keeps on mentioning how he’s known Qingqing for three years and how he quietly guarded Qingqing for three years. Forgive me, I only see how he likes her but I don’t see him how he protects her. All this protection he talks about is all words.”
“For the few months in the City of Brisk, that’s all he’s ever done. I can’t imagine how the three years before could’ve been different.”
“Yes! My third brother gets jealous easily and interferes with Qingqing’s matters as a hobby, but doesn’t that prove how he cares about Qingqing more than your Sect Leader?!”
“Plus, every single time, my third brother makes sure the situation flips in Qingqing’s favor.”
“My third brother has never been a person who abuses his power like so. You think it’s easy for him to change so much for a girl?”
“Plus, you think my third brother doesn’t respect her just because he tries to get to her? You are all men. If you don’t try to get close to a girl you like, then what kind of relationship are you trying to have with her?!”
“Though my third brother’s personality is a little dramatic, he gives and provides way more than your Sect Leader!”
“He’s not like your Sect Leader, who keeps on trying to use the fact that they’ve known each other for three years to guilt-trip her!”
“Qingqing has so many friends. There are so many people she’s met way before my third brother. Actor Yi is one of them. He also likes Qingqing. However, have you seen him going around telling everyone how long he’s known her? What right do you have to lecture my third brother!?”
Mu Jinghang’s words left Feng Heng speechless.
Qi Feng froze for a while before he finally argued back, “That’s because the Sect Leader knows how capable Ms. Qiao is!”
“Everything you described just now is things Ms. Qiao can deal with herself without the Sect Leader’s help. How do you have the audacity to bring up those things and try to get praised for them?”
Mu Jinghang shook his head, “No matter how capable she is, she’s only an 18 year old child! She may not speak of it, but she wants to be protected! Just because she’s capable, she doesn’t deserve to be spoiled? Just because she’s capable, she has to handle everything herself?”
Qi Feng was taken aback. He wanted to say more but Qiao Qing rubbed her forehead in pain, “Everyone, get out. Brother, stay.”
Qi Yusen looked over to them, “Get out.”
Since he had spoken, everyone had no choice but to leave.
When there were only the two of them left, Qi Yusen smiled to Qiao Qing, “Now I finally know why you never fell for Sect Leader Feng despite knowing him for three years. Yet you’ve only known Jun Yexuan for a few months and already like him. So it seems men who take action are more likable.”
Qiao Qing avoided his gaze, “Who likes him?”
The smile on Qi Yusen’s face deepened. He took out his hand and pinched Qiao Qing’s nose.
“You never say what you mean. Don’t you know the saying, ‘The truth comes out when you’re drunk’? When you were drunk last night, you spoke honestly.”
Qiao Qing’s face tightened up.
Seeing how nervous she was, Qi Yusen smiled again and patted her head.
“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t laugh at you. It’s more than normal for a girl your age to like someone.”
“Jun Yexuan is only 23 so he’s a little too young. He is, however, very capable. It’s the first time he’s ever liked someone, so he’s a little childish when dealing with relationship problems.”
“When he’s more mature, he will become a great partner.”
“I watched him grow up. He’s a boy with a story.”
“I don’t want to tell you right now, in case it influences your decision. However, when you are ready to hear them, I’ll tell you the tales.”
