Chapter 11: The House
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Qing wouldn’t force Xing Jiuan. The knowledge that Xing Jiuan had something on her mind that she didn’t want to tell him made him a little sad, but he wouldn’t force her to share it.
He did not know how to raise children. He had always just let Xing Jiuan run free while giving her sufficient protection.
Of course, Xing Jiuan was also very obedient. He felt that even if Xing Jiuan had committed a grave mistake, he would still be able to protect his little junior sister as always.
However, Xing Jiuan rarely made him worry.
Some children, despite going through a lot of hardships, could still grow up to be the most endearing.
The four of them stopped outside Xing Jiuan’s district.
“Jiuan…” Ou Qi ran out of the car and dragged her voice out as she ran toward Xing Jiuan.
“There’s still something I have to do after this. But I’m so tired! Jiuan, give me some energy. Then I’ll be able to revive fully.”
Ou Qi was always hyperenergetic. The tension and awkwardness Xing Jiuan felt when she was sitting in the car with Mu Qing seemed to have been forgotten as she hugged her comfortingly.
Ou Qi was petite and cute. Xing Jiuan was wearing a baseball cap, and her face was so delicate that her gender was almost vague.
The two of them looked very compatible as they hugged each other.
“Tsk. Alright, enough. Stop hugging. My teeth are already feeling sore,” Lu Mingxi said as he pretended to have a toothache.
“I think you’re just jealous that Jiuan and I are so close,” Ou Qi retorted, not caring at all.
Xing Jiuan only smiled.
It was as if Xing Jiuan had suddenly changed into a completely different person while they’d been gone for only a few days.
The Xing Jiuan of the past was so brash that she was eye-catching.
Ou Qi had something to settle, but Lu Mingxi and Mu Qing didn’t need to go.
After sending Ou Qi off, the three of them entered the district and went upstairs.
As Xing Jiuan had said before that this district was not bad, Mu Qing had bought three floors for her.
It allowed her to stay there whenever she wanted.
Xing Jiuan had many houses, and this place could probably be considered the poorest.
However, she seemed to like this residence very much as she had stayed here for more than half a year.
Naturally, she couldn’t live on all three floors, nor was she willing to open them up. She could only live in that small apartment that was 100 square meters. The other houses were each chosen for Mu Qing and the others to live in.
This was a very old-fashioned neighborhood. There wasn’t even an elevator. The three of them walked up slowly. Other than their footsteps, there was no other sound.
Xing Jiuan was very nervous. She did not know what to say, and she was also afraid to say something wrong. She did not want her relationship with her senior brothers to be like how it was in her past life.
Lu Mingxi looked at Mu Qing and then looked at Xing Jiuan. He didn’t know what was going on, but witnessing this situation, he tactfully kept quiet and walked behind them.
After a long while, Xing Jiuan finally opened her mouth and said, “Senior Brother…” Her voice was no longer as bright and clear as it used to be. Instead, it sounded as if it had gone through a major change, making one’s heart ache.
“I want to rest for a while. I am going to racing practice tonight.”
Of course, Mu Qing knew what Xing Jiuan meant by “racing practice.” However, given Xing Jiuan’s current condition…
He was a little worried.
But he did not say anything. He would just follow her and see how it’d go.
“Okay.” Mu Qing wanted to reach out and touch her hair, but before he could raise his hand, he curled his fingers and let go of this thought.
…
“Second Master, there will be a racing competition at Yun Shan in two days. It’s organized by the biggest racing club in the capital. I heard that it’s very interesting. Do you want to come along?”
Hearing the words of the person in front of him, the second son of the Huo family lowered his eyes as if he had not been listening.
