Before Jun Yexuan could move, Qiao Qing had already struggled out of Jun Yexuan's arms.

She raised her head and stared at Qi Yusen excitedly, “Brother!”

Different from her normally emotionless tone, her “brother” just now sounded like baby talk.

Coupled with Qiao Qing's expectant and excited gaze, Qi Yusen felt like he was needed.

Somewhere soft in his heart was struck, Qi Yusen wanted so badly to have her in his arms.

But when he noticed her drunkenly red cheeks and her dazing pupils, he couldn't celebrate. Instead, he furiously stormed, “You made her drink?!”

Mu Jinghang, who had been hiding behind the door, realized that there was trouble and hurried his way over.

“Brother Qi, brother Qi, please don't be angry. What happened was that at dinner, you weren't here, so the atmosphere was a little down. We opened up a bottle of wine to help with the mood.”

“We wanted to celebrate Qingqing's first day at school. All of us drank. We didn't know Qingqing was such a lightweight and would crash after one drink.”

Qi Yusen glared at him, “You think this house isn't monitored?”

Mu jinghang, “…”

He glanced at Jun Yexuan and signaled to him – you better pray.

Jun Yexuan realized that he'd been exposed so he stopped trying.

“Brother, you've been keeping such a tight grip on Qingqing at home, I didn't get to work on our relations.h.i.+p at all. So I thought of this plan.”

“You must understand the needs of a healthy and masculine man. I wasn't planning on going that far anyway. I just wanted to hug her and kiss her. That's all.”

“Shut up, you!” Qi Yusen pulled Qiao Qing out of Jun Yexuan's arms. His tone was icy.

“She just became an adult and she's never accepted you! If I ever catch you doing this to her again, I will never allow you to be together with her!”

Then, he picked up Qiao Qing and went into her bedroom.

Mu Jinghang placed an arm on Jun Yexuan's shoulder, “Third bro, you ended up kicking a hard piece of metal. I told you to be careful while you were here!”

Jun Yexuan laughed at himself, “I'm an awful person aren't I?”

Mu Jinghang froze for a second, “Third bro? What are you saying? This doesn't sound like you. Aren't you always super confident?”

Jun Yexuan chuckled. He thought of how Qiao Qing accepted Qi Yusen's arms so defenselessly just now and his heart turned cold.

All of his pride and his confidence had run dry because of her.

He worked so hard and was only able to put such a small dent in her heart.

Qi Yusen only showed up for a few days and she was already relying on him so much. Of course, his heart felt exhausted.

Mu Jinghang snuck a peek at his expression and carefully asked, “Third brother, are you thinking of giving up?”

“Give up?” Jun Yexuan mumbled, “She acts like a mountain of ice in front of me and I am going to melt her little by little. A little let down here and there is nothing. If she ends up in someone else's arms, that's what's going to kill me.”

Jun Yexuan then went back to his bedroom.

Inside the room, Qi Yusen gently put Qiao Qing down onto her bed and dialed an internal number, “Make some hangover soup and bring it up.”

Qiao Qing then grabbed onto Qi Yusen's collar, “Brother!”

Qi Yusen crouched down and stared at her, “Brother's here.”

Qiao Qing, “Just now, that pig trotter kissed me.”

It was like she was snitching.

“…” Qi Yusen wasn't used to Qiao Qing talking like that. As much as he was furious towards Jun Yexuan, he was smitten by her cute ways.

“I will help you beat him up later.”

“Okay.” Qiao Qing nodded and shouted again, “Brother!”

Qi Yusen held onto her hand, “I'm right here.”
