Chapter 227: I Can Give Her the Whole World Myself
Qiao Qing pursed her lips and asked with hesitation, “Does your family know about this? They agreed to this?”
Qi Yusen replied, “I don’t live with them. I have my own manor. It’s tranquil and quiet. It’s isolated enough that others won’t bug you.”
Qiao Qing felt like Qi Yusen just knew how people think. Every offering he made had been impossible to say no to.
“So then... I call you... brother? From now on?”
Qi Yusen’s eyes lit up, “Are you willing?”
Qiao Qing, “...”
“It’s okay if you aren’t willing.” Qi Yusen saw that she was silent and once again buttered her up, “As long as you are by my side, all is good.”
Qiao Qing sighed in relief. To call someone she barely knew “brother” was a little difficult.
Qi Yusen asked yet another question, “Can I call you Qingqing?”
Qiao Qing nodded.
The light in Qi Yusen’s eyes brightened even more. He grabbed her hand and headed outside. As he walked, he said, “Qingqing, let’s go pack.”
Qiao Qing replied, “There’s no need. We are basically done. You don’t know what I need anyway.”
Qi Yusen paused and nodded. He patted her head again, “Then, you go pack. I’ll wait for you here.”
Qiao Qing agreed and left.
Ning Ye watched Qiao Qing leave. Then he asked, “Young master, why didn’t you tell her about where she really came from? Why didn’t you ask her to come back to the Qi family?”
“The old man and the old madam have always wanted a grandson or a granddaughter. If they know about her existence, they would be overjoyed.”
Qi Yusen’s face became stuffed with worry and regret, “That’s exactly why we can’t let them know about Qingqing.”
Ning Ye, “???”
What kind of logic was this?
Qi Yusen muttered to himself, “The Qi family is a big family and has much influence. Until my generation, there’s been 18 boy babies and no girl.”
“Every one of the younger generation in the Qi family wants to have a girl. Everyone in the older generation wants a niece. The old man and the old madam want that more than anyone. So...”
Qi Yusen gave him a look, “If I tell them about Qingqing, then they will definitely fight for Qingqing. When that happens, just how little time will Qingqing have allocated to me?”
Ning Ye, “...”
He never thought that that was the motivation behind the young master’s actions!
He then suddenly remembered that every time someone in the Qi family gave birth, the young master would leave behind his work, no matter how busy he was, to go to the hospital and wait for the birth with a bunch of other men in the family.
And every time the doctor announced that it was a baby boy, his high anticipated face would turn disappointed.
Then, he wouldn’t even look at the new baby before turning around and leaving.
He has done that ever since he was just a child and even now, as the decision-maker of the Qi family, nothing has changed.
How come he didn’t realize earlier that this young master was sister obsessed?
But, didn’t he realize just how selfish he was being?
Just as he silently vented, he heard Qi Yusen say, “So, I’m going to hide her under my wing. Until I absolutely have to, I won’t let any of them know about her existence. It is enough that she has me as a brother. I can give her the whole world myself.”
Ning Ye, “...”
Okay, so he was under a spell.
On the other side, after Qi Yusen and Qiao Qing left, Jun Yexuan and Feng Heng were going through torture.
When they saw Qiao Qing return alone, their eyes brightened.
Jun Yexuan went up and grabbed Qiao Qing’s hands, “You didn’t agree to him, right?”
Feng Heng’s gaze snuck over as well.
Qiao Qing spoke gently, “I agreed.”
Jun Yexuan, “...”
Feng Heng, “...”
