Chapter 69: Perhaps by then, you would have Fallen in Love with me
Jun Yexuan stared at her with his lips curled up. “What is it, you don’t want me to leave?”
Qiao Qing ignored his flirty words and kept her serious face.
“What did you say to my mom to have her agree to let you stay? Even now, she still has no idea who you and that friend of yours are.”
“She knows.”
Jun Yexuan had one hand on her forehead while his other hand played with a strand of her hair.
“However, I am here, this time, as your private tutor.”
Qiao Qing, “...”
After a moment, she said, “You obviously know that I don’t need you to teach me.”
“But auntie doesn’t know that.” Jun Yexuan raised his eyebrow and displayed worldly expressions.
“If you tell her right now that you were actually born a genius and you have been faking it this whole time, do you think she’d believe you?”
Qiao Qing didn’t have a response.
“So...” Jun Yexuan smiled evilly and had an expression like he had won.
“Rather than having her hire someone else, who you would find tiring to deal with and would eventually find out about your secret, you might as well get someone who knows what’s going on. I can help you conceal your secret. Isn’t that for the better?”
Qiao Qing replied, “Then after my grades come out, what reason will you have to continue to stay here?”
Jun Yexuan said “Hmm, perhaps by then, you would have fallen in love with me. You wouldn’t want me gone by then.”
Qiao Qing closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, “In your dreams.”
Jun Yexuan expected that reaction from her and wasn’t annoyed by it, “Then, guard your heart well. Don’t give me the chance to sneak in.”
“Ehem, ehem...”
A series of gentle coughs came from the door. The two of them turned their heads and found He Wanqing to be standing by the door with a cup of brown sugar water and some other things.
Jun Yexuan immediately stood up and went to take over the tray of items.
“Auntie, I can take care of this. She drank this already. It’s not good to drink too much in a short amount of time.”
He Wanqing handed him the tray, “Don’t take too long. Dinner is almost ready.”
“Okay, auntie.”
Qiao Qing stared at the good boy persona Jun Yexuan faked and couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
This cute expression of hers was caught red-handed by Jun Yexuan.
He leaned against the wall and laughed until his chest shook, “Qingqing, I truly find you amusing!”
Qiao Qing, “....”
At night.
Jun Yexuan carried Qiao Qing downstairs for food.
Mu Jinghang looked at tes pair – one had an annoyed expression; the other was smiling. He couldn’t help but shake his head and go “ugh”. Sinful person!
Across from him was He Wanqing, who revealed a motherly smile. In his mind, another phrase appeared – this woman’s helping a tyrant victimize his subject!
On the dining table, Qiao Qing ate a mouthful of rice and planned on getting some spicy fried chicken.
The moment she extended her chopsticks, Jun Yexuan stopped them.
He looked at her with a fake smile, “I now know why you were in so much pain. So you like to eat spicy food? That’s fine when you’re feeling okay. However, even now, you are still treating your body like it doesn’t matter?”
Qiao Qing glared at him, “Who are you to stop me?”
Jun Yexuan straightened up and brought this dish with red peppers to Mu Jinghang, “Eat it. Don’t let Qingqing have any.”
Mu Jinghang’s expression dropped, “My brother, I don’t like this...”
Jun Yexuan, “Oh?”
“Hahahahaha, I love spicy food. Put it here! Nobody dares to take any from me!”
Qiao Qing, “...”
He Wanqing, “...”
“I take responsibility for this. I know Qingqing cannot control her mouth and I forgot to tell the back kitchen.”
Then, she looked over to Mu Jinghang, “Little Hang, if you cannot eat spicy food, don’t force yourself. I can just tell them to take it away.”
Mu Jinghang had just eaten a mouthful and by now, had pretty much lost his sense of taste.
With tears in his eyes, he croaked out like a rooster, “Auntie, I can do it. I can consume all of this!”
He Wanqing, “....”
