Chapter 191: 191, You are Peeling (1)_1 this Week
In the early morning, after a light rain, the sky was clear with miles of visibility, yet the air remained stiflingly warm.
“Are those two still not awake?” Han Yue leaned against the gate, feeling as if he had been waiting for so long that moss was growing on him.
Both Han Yue and Quan Mingxuan had arrived early at Shijin Haoting because they were going together to the vacation villa. To minimize hassle, they planned to hitch a ride on someone’s private plane to A City.
But now, they had been waiting for almost half an hour without seeing the gate open.
Quan Mingxuan shrugged, clueless as well.
Just as he took out his phone to call Quan Jingwu, the tightly closed gate swung open.
“Hey –” The gate broke open abruptly, and Han Yue nearly fell over.
Turning around, they found it was Quan Jingwu.
“Hey, brother, can’t you give a warning before opening the gate?” He had nearly fallen over, after all.
Quan Jingwu glanced at the two of them and set his gaze on Quan Mingxuan, “Breakfast?”
Hey, when did he, the second young master of the Quan Family, become a personal errand boy?
Quan Mingxuan laughed and picked up the box of food on the ground, “Here you go, you ruthless landlord.”
Quan Jingwu took the box of food and left them, entering the house.
Han Yue didn’t expect a warm welcome from him, so they pushed open the gate and walked in.
As soon as they entered, they ran into Jian Qing coming downstairs.
Seeing her clothes, they looked at each other and giggled.
“Oh, you two couldn’t satisfy your PDAs in Beijing so you decided to show off some love in A City?” said Han Yue, teasing them with winking and facial contortions. He could almost smell the nauseating aroma of love in the air.
Jian Qing paused for a moment and arched her eyebrows at them, “Huh?”
“Your clothes!” Quan Mingxuan kindly reminded her.
Both were wearing clothing from the brand March, which matched and were quite similar in style. Anyone would think they were couple outfits.
Upon hearing this, Jian Qing eyed her clothes. She thought of how, that morning, someone had earnestly prepared her clothes for her, and she couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh.
“Didn’t you two come here just to deliver breakfast to Xiaojing and me?” She deflected the topic.
Han Yue rolled his eyes, as if they had nothing better to do.
“We’re also heading to A City, with you guys.”
“Darling, come here!”
Quan Jingwu laid out the breakfast; watching him, Han Yue and Quan Mingxuan couldn’t help licking their lips, thinking that this man indeed had the makings of a good wife and mother!
Jian Qing walked over to sit down next to him. She looked up at Mingxuan and Han Yue, “Have you guys eaten yet?”
Quan Mingxuan replied, “We’ve eaten, you and Jingwu go ahead.”
After eating breakfast, Quan Jingwu went upstairs and brought down the luggage. Seeing him carry down only one suitcase, Han Yue’s and Quan Mingxuan’s faces belonged more to mischievous instigators.
Jian Qing quietly ignored their joking expressions and went out with Quan Jingwu.
Two sports cars sped in front of each other out of Shijin Haoting, howling like a gale.
“Boss!”
Joining them for this trip to A City were Shen Hao and Yi Kai. When Quan Jingwu and his group arrived, Shen Hao and Yi Kai were already waiting at the airport.
“Madam!”
Yi Kai came forward to take Quan Jingwu’s suitcase and greeted Jian Qing.
“Pfff–”
Just as they were about to board the plane, Han Yue and Quan Mingxuan froze, shaking with laughter.
No wonder he was a part of the think-tank of JK International, his observational skills were top-notch!
Jian Qing shot a glance at Yi Kai, then turned to look at the main culprit beside her. She gave a cold hum, jerking away from his hand, and headed onto the plane first.
Quan Jingwu’s lips turned up slightly. He trailed behind her, calm and unhurried.
Once on the plane, as soon as Jian Qing had sat down, someone immediately occupied the seat next to her.
“There are so many seats on the plane, why do you have to sit next to me?”
Quan Jingwu stretched out his arm, put it around her shoulder and said, “It feels warm sitting next to you!”
Even with the AC on inside the plane, it couldn’t be that cold, right?
Who was he trying to fool?
Jian Qing sighed softly, a hint of resignation in her eyes, and muttered, “Stop pretending to be weak here.”
He chuckled, softly pinched her chin and asked, “If I’m weak, will you feel more sorry for me?”
“You can try!” Jian Qing brushed off his hand, turned around to grab her bag, and took out her personal laptop.
She had been in Beijing all this time, and had not returned to M Country, so files were piling up at the Jian Family headquarters every day.
Quan Jingwu knew she worked on her laptop every day, but he didn’t interfere. Instead, he waited for the day when she’d willingly share everything about her work with him.
Both of them were working on their laptops. Meanwhile, Han Yue and Quan Mingxuan sipped red wine, lounging lazily on the sofa, watching the two workaholics across from them.
“Jian Qing, I have a question that I’ve always been curious about, what is your job?” Han Yue asked, while gently swirling the red wine in his glass, curiosity sparking in his eyes.
Her demeanor and every move showed that she was different from the typical high society young lady, shrouded in mystery, hard to read.
And to live in Shijin Haoting as soon as she returned to Beijing, clearly showed she was not in shortage of wealth. How could such a person possibly be the illegitimate child as mentioned by people of the An Family?
Jian Qing shifted her gaze from the laptop, looking up at Han Yue. She responded with an indifferent smile, “Just an idler, well, you could say unemployed too.”
Han Yue clearly didn’t buy it, “…I’m serious about this question.”
An unemployed person living in Shijin Haoting?
Who was he kidding?
“Actually, I’m quite curious too,” Quan Mingxuan chimed in.
Jian Qing’s fingers flew across the keyboard, a faint smile in her calm eyes. “I seriously answered you as well. After all, when do you ever see me go to work?”
Han Yue choked. It seemed that it was a wild goose chase trying to get information from her.
“I’m so tired with this talk!” Han Yue sighed heavily and gulped down his glass of wine.
Jian Qing just smiled without saying anything, immersing herself in the work documents again.
About two hours later, the plane made a smooth landing. Quan Jingwu’s group used the VIP channel, so they did not attract any attention.
With Shen Hao, the universal assistant, there was nothing to worry about; cars were already waiting outside the airport. Three cars, two persons per car.
Both Han Yue and Quan Mingxuan had already partied all over A City and were confident about their route.
Perhaps because she had gone to bed early the night before, and worked for just two hours on the plane, Jian Qing showed no sign of fatigue when she stepped off the plane.
Looking at the scenery moving in reverse from the car window, she rolled down the window and reached out to feel the cool breeze. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Wow, it felt so good!
Quan Jingwu glanced at her from the corner of his eye, his lips curling into a smile. He reached out and playfully patted her on the head.
The Ye Family’s summer resort was located in the suburbs, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Tall ancient trees and a unique earthy fragrance in the air made it a haven of peace and tranquility.
