The Almighty Rich Daughter is Explosively Cool

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, “…”
