Chapter 254: 254, Honesty with Each Other (3)_1
Jian Qing nodded, glancing around but finding no trace of Snowball.
Oh, right, she suddenly remembered, when she returned to M Country, she had Snowball taken to the old Quan residence.
She massaged her temples, feeling thoroughly lethargic.
Suddenly, something dawned on her, and she looked down at the clothes she was wearing. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
From the size and style, it was obviously men’s clothing.
Last night, she seemed to vaguely remember someone giving her a bath and changing her clothes.
And knowing that man’s possessive nature, there was no way he’d allow someone else to change her clothes.
So, there was only one conclusion— he was the one who had bathed her and changed her clothes.
“…”
This realization instantly left Jian Qing feeling unwell.
Goodness, waking up to such a “surprise”, is this really okay?
When Quan Jingwu walked out with a tray, he saw her sprawled on the couch, her face buried in a cushion, seemingly suffocating herself.
He put the tray down on the table, sat down next to her, and removed the pillow from her clasp.
“Sweetheart, drink some water, then eat something.”
His magnetic voice was so tender it could make one melt. Seeing him immediately reminded Jian Qing of him bathing her, causing her face to instantly turn red.
After her unrelenting fever last night, Quan Jingwu was still worried. Seeing her cheeks flushed, he subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead.
“Sweetheart, do you still feel unwell anywhere?”
“What are you doing?” Jian Qing stared at him in confusion.
“Your fever has already broken!” He withdrew his hand, his eyebrows knitting together, “Nevermind, I’ll have Fu Heng come over to check again.”
Seeing him pick up his phone, Jian Qing finally reacted and quickly reached out to stop him.
“Xiaojing, I’m fine, there’s no need to call anyone over.”
She was already feeling awkward enough, if someone else came over, she might as well crawl into a hole and hide.
Quan Jingwu looked at her with a probing gaze, seeing that she didn’t seem to be lying, he put down his phone.
Concussed look; “Drink some water first.” He picked up the glass of water and brought it to her lips.
Jian Qing tried to take the glass, but he avoided her.+
“I’ll hold it.”
She didn’t argue and just drank straight from his hand.
After she had some water, the man picked up the spoon and bowl, obviously intending to feed her.
“Xiaojing, I can feed myself, you should eat something too.” She could tell that he had spent the whole night taking care of her and probably hadn’t rested at all.
“You eat first, I’ll eat later.” Quan Jingwu insisted, bringing the spoonful of soup to her mouth.
“Behave, your hand is injured, it will be inconvenient for you.”
Jian Qing helplessly looked at him, and opened her mouth to eat the food he fed her.
“What kind of soup is this?”
This kind of soup didn’t seem like something he could make.
“My mom had it sent over.” He answered.
Rhee was initially planning to bring it over himself early in the morning, but thinking that Jian Qing was probably still resting, he had it sent over instead.
Jian Qing understood, no wonder.
After finishing her meal, Jian Qing urged him to eat as well.
Quan Jingwu didn’t bother getting something new, he just started eating what was left in Jian Qing’s bowl.
“Hey, why are you eating my leftovers?” Jian Qing asked.
The corner of Quan Jingwu’s lips curved up, “I like it.”
Her planned words were blocked by his three words. Jian Qing rested her chin on her hand, quietly watching him. His distinct side profile was still excessively attractive.
After a moment, she asked, “Xiaojing, where have you been these past few days? Why didn’t you answer your phone?”
Quan Jingwu paused his chopsticks, lifting his head to look at her, “When I went to J City, I actually went to help someone, to catch the international wanted criminal Dufeng. That night, in order to capture him, I went to the tropical rainforest in South America, my phone was lost in the rainforest, Shen Hao and the others also ran out of battery. It wasn’t until we returned to China that we heard about the earthquake in J City, and then we learned that you had come to J City.”
He would never hide anything she wanted to know.
“Dufeng?” Jian Qing raised her eyebrows, “Could it be the drug trafficker Dufeng?”
Quan Jingwu looked at her, surprised, “How do you know him?”
She hooked her lips into a light smile, “Because I’ve met him once, although we didn’t have a face-to-face meeting.”
Quan Jingwu watched her closely, he knew that she had many secrets, and he knew that she was gradually telling him everything about her.
Why would an international criminal need him, the CEO of JK International, to catch him? Did he have another unknown identity?
Jian Qing suddenly remembered that Quan Mingxuan had previously mentioned that Quan Jingwu had served in the military for two years. Could it be…
“Xiaojing, are you really a soldier?” She neither wanted to guess nor investigate.
When her words fell, Quan Jingwu fell silent. Jian Qing thought he was not at liberty to say.
Just as she was about to speak, he cut her off.
“Actually, not really.”
“Huh?” She looked at him with confusion.
If he was, he was, if he wasn’t, he wasn’t. What did it mean to say that he wasn’t really?
“I never intended to pursue a career in the military, so I planned to leave the military after two years. Before I left, I met Grandpa Helian. He was a close friend of my grandfather. I promised him that if he ever needed help, I would consider lending a hand.” Quan Jingwu solemnly said.
“You’re the first person to know about this, not even my grandpa is aware of it.”
Who knew that all of these things would coincide so perfectly? The only person who knew his whereabouts, Ouyang Yu, was injured in the collapse, and is currently unconscious in the ICU. In this way, Grandpa Helian also couldn’t know his whereabouts, which drove his family to panic.
Upon hearing this, the mystery in Jian Qing’s heart was solved, and she also understood why the Quan family thought he had encountered a disaster in the earthquake.
“Sweetheart, I’m sorry!” He said seriously.
No matter how many times he said these words, it couldn’t make up for the remorse and heartache in his heart.
She smiled faintly, shaking her head, “There’s absolutely no need for those three words between us, right?”
As Quan Jingwu looked at her, his thin lips curled into a similar smile, “Yes.”
“Don’t you want to know what I was doing in M Country?” Jian Qing looked at him interestedly, smiling as she asked.
“Do you want to talk about it?” He asked, his purple eyes filled with a warm smile.
Jian Qing tilted her head, grinning, “If you want to hear it, I’ll tell you.”
Quan Jingwu nodded with a smile, “Okay.”
“My grandfather really did fall ill, but it was due to a gunshot wound.” She said lightly, with her eyes meeting his, “You must have heard of the Jian family from M Country, right Xiaojing?”
Although Quan Jingwu had already suspected this, he was still somewhat taken aback when he heard it firsthand.
“Yes.”
Catching the surprise in his eyes, Jian Qing couldn’t help but chuckle, “It seems you’ve already guessed it, that’s right, my grandfather is Jian Qing.”
