Chapter 486 Taken to Heart
"How are you? Does it hurt a lot? Come in quickly, I'll treat you." Gu Qing's voice suddenly rang out, making everyone turn around.
Lou Xiaoyu came running over like a puppy. "Qingqing." She called out twice and squeezed Qingqing's hand.
Gu Qing was no longer angry about his provocation. "Peace is the most important thing. Think twice before you speak in the future."
"I know, my second brother has already scolded me. Please help me soothe my aches and pains."
He always exaggerates minor injuries and tells Wang Xiaoxiao he's seriously injured but keeps quiet. Seeing how loudly he was shouting, Gu Qing knew he was alright.
He glanced at Chen Xingheng, then let Lou Xiaoyu pull him back to the living room. He took out a treatment device to treat several bruises on Chen Xingheng's body, and then went over to undress him.
Chen Xingheng blushed slightly, grabbed her hand, and then shook his head. "Oh, no need, I'm fine?"
Gu Qing wouldn't listen to him and insisted on explaining, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease. You should learn from Lou Xiaoyu and not always put up with everything. Don't complain about the bad things or take credit for the good things. You'll easily suffer losses if you do that."
Chen Xingheng had a bronze complexion, and his face was slightly flushed with shyness, though no one could tell. But from his expression, everyone knew he was embarrassed.
Jin Beiwang, however, seemed to be deep in thought after listening to Gu Qing's words.
Both of them were careful with their strength, so their bodies were covered in bruises. It hurt, but for fighters, it was nothing compared to the torment of high levels of contamination.
It only takes a few minutes to heal without leaving any trace.
The family sat down to replan their return, and this time things were much more harmonious, with everyone expressing their opinions based on their strengths.
Finally, after Jin Beiwang and Gu Qing confirmed that Gu Qing was alright, they decided to leave the next day. The fact that this place was under the jurisdiction of the Empire made them uneasy.
So the three of them winked at Qi Bai, "You've had a tough day, go back upstairs and sleep after you finish eating! You have to get up early tomorrow, and you'll suffer if you don't get enough sleep."
Jin Beiwang's voice was soft, with a hint of seduction. Chen Xingheng and Lou Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, but Gu Qing could tell from their expressions that there was more to it.
I suddenly remembered that saying: when the men around you are jealous of each other, as long as it is within your control, don't interfere.
But when all the men around you are behaving themselves, you should be careful; they may be ganging up on you.
Gu Qing's gaze swept across the faces of the group. Jin Beiwang still had that gentle smile, like a vixen, completely unfathomable.
Lou Xiaoyu giggled and came closer, wanting kisses and hugs. She wasn't angry even when Gu Qing glared at her, and just grabbed her hand and kissed it twice.
Chen Xingheng, who usually has a stern face, had a slightly shifty look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms. "What are you plotting together? You're not thinking of getting back at me, are you?"
His words startled Chen Xingheng, Lou Xiaoyu stood there dumbfounded, and Jin Beiwang was both amused and exasperated. "What are you thinking about every day? How could that be? The three of us just want to wait here for the God of Wealth to come back so we can properly thank him."
Gu Qing suddenly turned to look at Chen Xingheng, "Really."
Chen Xingheng nodded heavily. Gu Qing rolled her eyes at the group, raised her hand and Qi Bai quickly helped her up. Then the two of them went upstairs.
But a voice drifted over, "Hmm, when you strike, give me a couple more whacks."
Watching her disappear down the corridor, the three men exchanged glances, then all broke into smiles.
“Our wives are still young and lively!” Jin Beiwang’s phoenix eyes flashed sharply behind his glasses.
“Qingqing should be like this. So what if she is the head of the family? Why does she have to be so serious? We have the ability to let her live a lively and carefree life, so there is no need to make her feel wronged.”
Lou Xiaoyu spoke nonchalantly, picked up a pure fruit, sat down on the sofa, and started munching on it.
Chen Xingheng was shocked by his words, and his gaze towards him became increasingly affectionate.
He knew that Qingqing used the most adjectives to describe this guy, and he knew it was because she cared about him.
When he realized this, a series of emotions, including fear and sadness, surged into his heart. He couldn't understand how someone else could take his place when he used to be the only one in his heart and mind.
Looking back now, Qingqing's choice was not wrong. This guy has a lot of flaws, but one thing is certain: he truly puts everything about Gu Qing first.
She always considered things from her perspective, so it's only natural that Gu Qing would take her to heart.
