Chapter 207: 207, Truth or Dare (2)_1
“What?” Upon hearing that it was a game, she immediately became fully alert, so as not to fall into any traps he might set.
“It’s Truth or Dare. We ask each other questions, and if we don’t want to answer, we have to take the dare,” he explained.
Jian Qing’ eyes sparkled. She coolly responded, “OK!”
Quan Jingwu asked, “You first or me first?”
Upon hearing his question and considering their current position, Jian Qing couldn’t help but tease him. She shoved him slightly and said, “You get up before we start.”
Quan Jingwu lightly pecked her red lips before flipping to sit up.
Jian Qing also sat up, crossed her legs, rested her chin in one hand, and adopted a laid-back pose.
“You ask first.”
Quan Jingwu looked at her firmly before asking, “Have you ever gone fishing with other men before, if so, with how many?”
What kind of question was that?
Jian Qing looked at him bemusedly, and nodded slightly, “Yes, with three.”
“Who were they?” he pushed.
He was not the first? He felt a twinge of jealousy.
“That’s your second question,” Jian Qing shook her head, “It’s my turn now.”
Quan Jingwu nodded, waiting for her question.
“When did you first develop feelings for me?” Jian Qing looked at him playfully, this was a question she had wanted to ask for a long time.
“To be precise, it was the day of Old Man An’s banquet.” He looked at her tenderly, and softly confessed.
That day at the banquet, on the terrace, when she had bumped into his embrace, perhaps that was when he began to develop feelings for her, only realizing his feelings much later.
Jian Qing smiled, “Your turn.”
“It’s the same question from before, who did you go fishing with?” He looped back to the question he hadn’t finished asking, as if ready to pound the three men she’d gone fishing with.
“My younger brother, and two good friends,” she responded crisply.
Quan Jingwu’s purple pupils darkened. Even her future brother-in-law!
“My turn to ask a question. What do you like about me?” Jian Qing recalled a previous gossip session with Xiya and asked with a grin.
His purple pupils narrowed, he looked her up and down and replied with two loaded words, “Your figure!”
It felt like a sledgehammer had crashed down on her head.
Jian Qing clenched her fist and raised it to punch him, “Quan Jingwu, are you asking for a beating?”
Figure?
Why did it sound so lewd coming from his mouth?
A hint of a smile eased its way onto Quan Jingwu’s lips. He grabbed her hand and both of them fell back onto the lounge chair.
Jian Qing yanked him by the shoulder, and in an instant, they switched positions.
“Quan Jingwu, can you be any more shallow?”
She sat cross-legged on his stomach, her fair hands grasping at his collar.
Struggling to suppress his laughter, Quan Jingwu coughed a couple of times, “Be gentle, darling. If you pull any harder, you’re going to strangle me.”
“Would serve you right if you were strangled to death. I could use you as bait for fishing.” Jian Qing rolled her eyes at him, her voice frosty.
“Whoops, seems like we’ve picked the wrong time to show up!” Han Yue’s teasing voice rang out. Who else could it have been but him?
Seeing the couple’s suggestive position on the lounge chair, Han Yue clucked his tongue disapprovingly.
“Ayue, we should leave. Interrupting lovebirds could get us struck by lightning.” Quan Mingxuan stood with his hands in his pockets, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Jian Qing felt as if a herd of horses had just trampled over her heart. She quickly got off Quan Jingwu, her ears turning pink under her long hair.
Compared to her discomfort, Quan Jingwu remained nonchalant as he sat up, his gaze filled with mild annoyance directed at the two unexpected visitors.
“What are you two doing here?”
“We’re here to fish, of course. Did you think we were here to date?” Han Yue scoffed, sitting down on a nearby lounge chair.
“We’re not like you, we don’t have girlfriends.” He taunted.
Quan Mingxuan watched him with amusement. Despite his reticence, he was unable to suppress his laughter.
Before Quan Jingwu could explode in anger, Han Yue quickly diverted the topic. “You guys have been here for so long, you must have caught plenty of fish, right?”
At this, Jian Qing touched her forehead, feeling a bit embarrassed.
“I am afraid they have caught nothing but an empty bucket.” Quan Mingxuan brought over the empty bucket that was kept aside, it indeed didn’t contain a single fish.
Han Yue burst out laughing. He looked at Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing with a scornful expression on his face, “Can you two stop showing off your love and catch at least one fish?”
“I thought we would have grilled fish here, it seems my wishful thinking is to be dashed.” Quan Mingxuan put down the empty bucket and said with disappointment.
Jian Qing peeked out from behind Quan Jingwu, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, she looked at Quan Mingxuan and asked, “Can Xiaojing grill fish?”
“Yes.” This time, both Han Yue and Quan Mingxuan responded instantly, “And it’s delicious.”
“Really?” Jian Qing was somewhat surprised.
“Yes.” Han Yue nodded. Although he had only tasted it once, the taste was indeed very good.
Jian Qing looked at Quan Jingwu, “Did you learn it specifically?”
From the time he was cooking in her kitchen, she could tell it was his first time cooking, so how did he learn to grill fish?
“No,” he shook his head, “I learned it during my military training.”
Upon hearing this, Jian Qing was taken aback, “You were in the military?”
She remembered that only Quan Yimo among them had been in the military.
From the side, Quan Mingxuan’s voice chimed in, “You see, Jian Qing, Jingwu and I have both spent some time in the military, although he spent less time there, only two years.”
Back then, who would have guessed that Jingwu had everything planned before he joined the military. Busy with military training, he managed to find time to set up JK International.
“Yes, he is really a freak. Immediately after joining the military, he established JK International. He’s just too flashy.” Han Yue chimed in. Recalling the glorious exploits of the man before him, there were too many to count.
Listening to them, curiosity sparkled in Jian Qing’s eyes, “Xiaojing, why didn’t you choose to be a soldier and switch to the business industry?”
With his ability, being a high-ranking officer in the military wouldn’t be difficult for him. She believed that if he was a soldier, he would undoubtedly be an excellent military commander.
The corners of Quan Jingwu’s lips tighten as he explained slowly, “I went to the military just for the exercise, not for anything else.”
“Only our elder brother had a firm resolve to be in the military, Jingwu and I probably aren’t suited for it.” Quan Mingxuan explained.
He was always used to being free and reckless, unable to stand the restrictions and rules, as for Jingwu, he really couldn’t figure him out.
Han Yue quickly changed the subject, “Jian Qing, how about a competition? You and Xiaojing form a team, Axuan and I form another, and the losing team grills the fish.”
“I agree, I asked the waiter earlier, and there are grilling tools in there. I’ll go get them.” Quan Mingxuan stood up and pointed to the building next door.
