Chapter 36: The Favorite of Pseudo-campus Literature (36)
【Are you sure you will appear here? 】
When Qiao Xi once again confirmed the couple-themed hotel displayed on her phone, she was still a little confused.
The little white cat system nodded.
[Yes, the male protagonist is here now]
Seeing this, Qiao Xi didn't say anything more and went downstairs to wait for Qiao Jing.
Qiao's mother went out early in the morning to have morning tea with her friends. Today happened to be a limited edition new product released by a certain brand, so she probably won't be back tonight.
She waited for a while before she received news from Qiao Jing.
"arrive"
Qiao Jing's car stopped in front of the Qiao family's house. Looking at the familiar home in his memory, he was still a little dazed.
However, before he could fall into memories.
Qiao Jing soon saw a girl wearing a beige T-shirt, white shorts, a beret and a stuffed bear bag slung across her shoulder going out.
She didn't seem to notice the car.
The girl lowered her head and searched for the key in her bear bag. She locked the door herself before going out.
And there was still some uneasiness on her face.
The girl was a little nervous, as could be seen from the hand that was tightly gripping the strap of her teddy bear bag. Qiao Jing couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this.
The girl who came out also noticed his car.
Her eyes lit up, but she didn't move forward. She looked a little scared, probably hesitating whether to take the initiative to greet him.
Seeing this, Qiao Jing rolled down the car window.
The man tried to be as gentle as possible and said, "Now that you're here, get in the car."
The deep and magnetic voice carries a hint of warmth.
Even without a suit, the man before him still stood tall and straight. His dark eyes beneath his gold-rimmed glasses held a subtle, though not overt, gentleness.
But it's enough to give people some peace of mind.
Qiao Xi lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at him, but still obediently opened the car door and got in, whispering something with her lips trembling.
"elder brother."
Qiao Jing paused on the steering wheel, his eyelids twitching slightly. However, he remained calm and replied with a "hmm" so as not to ignore the girl.
The car drove in silence.
The girl buckled up beside him didn't say anything, and Qiao Jing, being a quiet man himself, didn't say anything either. However, he could sense the girl's curious glances from time to time.
To her, this was like a kitten stretching out its claws to test.
Qiao Jing burst out laughing.
If the other party had not asked to see him, he would probably never return to the Qiao family in his life.
When approaching the destination.
The girl quietly observed him all the way and finally plucked up the courage to talk to him.
"Brother, you...you have to be careful of mom and Gu Xuanye."
Qiao Jing had just driven the car to the parking lot and parked it. When he turned around, he saw the girl's bright, clear, yet stubborn and serious eyes in the dim parking lot.
It’s like, if Qiao Jing doesn’t listen.
She seemed to be about to get extremely anxious in the next second and then get angry with him.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Jing didn't get out of the car and leave immediately. Instead, he looked at the girl.
The light is a little dim.
However, when it reflected on her fair face, it also made her cherry lips, which were slightly moist, look particularly soft.
But Qiao Xi didn't care about these.
She looked conflicted and seemed to be in a dilemma, but when she looked at Qiao Jing, she finally made up her mind.
So she mustered up the courage to tell it all in one breath.
"Mom wants me to get engaged to Gu Xuanye, the heir of the Gu family. And he seems to have some conditions with Mom, probably related to you, brother."
"Because you have been helping us silently, I don't want you to be kept in the dark..."
Her voice gradually became softer as she spoke.
Qiao Jing fell silent. He really didn't know what Qiao's mother was planning, but in fact he also knew what Qiao's mother was thinking.
Qiao Jing does not have the Qiao family's blood in his body.
Even though he is in charge of the company now, he always considers himself as an agent. He will manage the company for now, but he will wait until his sister grows up enough to take charge on her own.
He would give it all back to her.
I will also teach her how to run the business.
He had never intended to take over the Qiao family's property, but now he heard from his sister that Qiao's mother sent her to marry. Qiao's mother wanted to deal with him at the cost of her daughter's lifelong happiness.
Qiao Jing's brows gradually furrowed.
A drop of water should be repaid with a spring.
This is a truth he has understood since he was a child, and it is also the goal he set for his future self when he was still young.
He will not let down Mr. Qiao's training.
When other rich young men started to have fun and drink, Qiao Jing had already started to take over the company's affairs.
The other rich young men all said he was a pedantic person.
Very boring and uninteresting, no way to enjoy life.
Qiao Jing knew that he was not on the same side as them, so he never paid attention to the gossip. He just wanted to protect the things he cherished.
The home I once lived in.
He just didn't expect that the news he heard now was told to him by his sister herself.
Qiao's mother deliberately concealed the truth.
Gu Xuanye was also helping, and Qiao Jing trusted the Qiao family so much that he wouldn't have any doubts, so it was normal that he didn't know.
"I understand. I'll keep an eye on it."
Qiao Jing collected his thoughts, staring into the distance with a calm expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Qiao Xi didn't disturb him.
Give the man some time alone to collect his thoughts.
[Host, the heroine has appeared. It seems she and the hero have an appointment here. What's going on?]
The little white cat's excited and puzzled voice came.
Qiao Xi was speechless and choked. [You don't even know what's going on, how can I tell you by asking me?]
She doesn't understand what the heroine is thinking.
Her brain is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and her IQ drops immediately when she encounters something related to the male protagonist. I don't know what to say. Qiao Xi hopes Liu Lingxuan can be more resolute.
She was doing nothing and just leaned her head to look out the window.
Qiao Jing, who was standing next to him, had a rough plan in mind after thinking about it. He looked at the girl who was holding her cheek and looking out the window.
The dim light fell on her soft profile, outlining the girl's upturned nose and delicate eyebrows.
Qiao Xi was also paying attention to Qiao Jing.
When she noticed that the man started looking in her direction, she turned around and smiled at her cheap brother.
"I have something to do here, brother, can you accompany me?"
"Okay." Qiao Jing agreed without thinking.
It was the girl who asked him out, and he didn't have anything to do in the evening, so it wouldn't hurt to spend some time with his sister.
The two got off the car one after another.
Qiao Xi went straight to the hotel that was holding the couple's theme event. Although Qiao Jing was confused, he didn't say anything and followed the girl silently.
Could it be...
Did the younger sister arrange to meet someone here to do that? Was it actually because the younger sister had no experience that she brought her brother here?
If that was the case, Qiao Jing would be in trouble.
His brows furrowed slightly. He had no experience in that area so how could he help?
And she, a girl, is looking for a man to accompany her... Even though he is her brother, isn't this sister too defenseless around men? This is very easy to get hurt. What if she gets cheated?
The more I think about it, the worse it gets.
Qiao Jing's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he became more and more worried as he stared at Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi suddenly felt a strong condemnation in her eyes, and her back felt weak for no reason.
Qiao Xi: “…”
What did she do again???
