Chapter 359: Difficult

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although Murong Qiao was mentally prepared, she still felt a chill down her spine when she saw the messages her Big Brothers sent her.

Her brothers, who she usually did not see much, gathered together when Murong Qiao returned home on the weekend.

“The Young Masters have all returned home. It’s a rare lively event tonight.” Uncle Yang’s tone was gratified.

Murong Qiao sat in the back seat and looked at the Murong Residence that was gradually approaching. It was really difficult for her to empathize with Uncle Yang’s feelings.

She resisted the urge to sigh and replied, “It’s better to be lively.”

Murong Qiao echoed, but the scene of revealing her relationship had already appeared in her mind.

It was very difficult.

“That’s right. When we go back later, I’ll get someone to make a sumptuous dinner. Fourth Young Master hasn’t gone overseas yet, so let’s have a meal together,” Uncle Yang said with a smile.

On the way back, Uncle Yang was mostly the one talking.

He had watched the Young Masters grow up and unknowingly, they were already closer than family to him.

After all, he was old. Looking at the few of them who were usually busy, he couldn’t help but miss them. This time, it was rare for them to gather for a meal. Uncle Yang was extremely happy.

“We’re at the gate.” He suddenly changed the topic.

Murong Qiao looked out of the window. The brightly lit Murong Residence was right in front of her. At the same time, she saw a familiar figure at the door. It was Third Brother Murong Chuan.

“I’ll help Little Sister carry her things, Uncle Yang,” Murong Chuan said as he walked over.

Uncle Yang was old and his body was not as strong as before. Murong Chuan didn’t give him a chance to refuse. He picked up Murong Qiao’s suitcase and gestured for his Little Sister to leave with him.

Murong Qiao instinctively felt that Third Brother seemed to have something to say to her and hurriedly followed.

Seeing his Little Sister jogging over, Murong Chuan deliberately slowed down and waited for her to walk to his side.

“Third Brother?” Murong Qiao called out.

Murong Chuan nodded. “Have you thought about what to say? About your relationship with Huo Yichen.”

This question caught Murong Qiao off guard.

“To be honest, I’m not sure,” Murong Qiao replied honestly.

She only wanted to say it, but she had no idea how to make her Big Brothers accept it better.

In front of Third Brother, the only person who knew about her secret relationship, Murong Qiao felt relaxed after confessing.

She still didn’t know that her Second Brother and Fourth Brother had also found out about this.

Murong Chuan was not surprised to hear the answer. “If Eldest Brother finds out that you’re dating Huo Yichen…”

There was no need to say anything else. Both of them understood.

“Ahem, 1’11 just improvise.” Murong Qiao felt hopeless.

After all, Big Brother Murong Chen had told her not to interact too much with Huo Yichen…

Thinking of how she had promised her Big Brother back then, Murong Qiao felt even more guilty.

“I came out to pick you up in advance because I wanted to tell you that Yan Xiu and Murong Zheng already know. You just have to pay more attention to Big Brother and Xian Yu.” Murong Chuan didn’t forget his goal.

After all, she was his Little Sister. In this era of freedom, Murong Chuan felt that her happiness was more important than anything else.

Murong Qiao was surprised to hear him say that. “Alright.”

Since the few of them already know, wouldn’t this reduce the difficulty of the game?

Third Brother’s words could be said to be a soothing prescription, making Murong Qiao’s originally heavy heart relax.

Pushing open the door, the two of them walked in. As soon as Murong Qiao entered, she saw someone jump up from the sofa.

“Qiaoqiao!” Xian Yu called out to her. “You’re finally back—”

He ran to Murong Chuan and Murong Qiao in two steps. He was still holding a game controller and shouting.

As Xian Yu spoke, he couldn’t help but size up Murong Qiao. When he heard that she had a fever, he was no longer in the mood to work and decided to come back at the last minute.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Murong Qiao sensed his intentions and explained.

She looked a little helpless, but her heart was warm as she felt Xian Yu’s obvious concern.

It had been a few days. No matter how weak her body was, she should have recovered.

Moreover, the incident at the swimming pool last time had also reminded Murong Qiao to start paying attention to her physical training so that she wouldn’t fall into a similar situation in the future. She wouldn’t be lucky enough to encounter Huo Yichen to help her escape each time.

At the mention of Huo Yichen, she thought of his injured knee. She would send a message to ask about him later…

“Don’t stay at the door. Go to the living room and talk,” Murong Chuan reminded.

Murong Qiao’s wandering thoughts were pulled back. Then, she met Xian Yu’s vexed gaze and couldn’t help but smile.

Xian Yu hurriedly walked back. “Dinner is not ready yet. Let’s play a game for a while. Second Brother is sitting in the living room and reading a magazine. No one is with me. I’ve been stuck at one stage for a long time…”

Xian Yu didn’t deliberately lower his voice when he said this. When Murong Zheng heard this, he looked up in the direction of the door and calmly flipped a page of the magazine.

“Where’s the difficulty if I accompany you? It’s more interesting to solve the stage yourself.” Murong Zheng’s tone was indifferent.

In other words, the gaming experience would be gone as soon as he joined. Xian Yu was still too weak.

Xian Yu blushed. “You’re the noob!”

Murong Zheng didn’t argue with him. He only glanced at his Little Sister gently and his gaze paused for a moment at her fingers. Then, he looked away as if nothing had happened.

“Dinner will be ready soon. Fifth Young Master, why don’t you play after dinner?” Uncle Yang suddenly appeared.

Seeing the two Young Masters bicker, the wrinkles at the corners of Uncle Yang’s eyes flowed with joy, and he looked even more gratified.

Xian Yu stopped talking. “Then I’ll listen to Uncle Yang.”

Murong Zheng had no intention of paying attention to him at all. When he heard that dinner was ready, he closed the magazine and stood up to go to the washroom.

“Looks like I came down just in time.” A calm voice came from the second floor.

Murong Chen stood at the staircase with one hand on the wooden escalator. Beside him was Yan Xiu, who never liked to come out.

Now, everyone was here.

In the dark night, the Murong Residence emitted a faint yellow warm light. A long table that was enough for seven to eight people to eat was placed in the dining room. For the first time, it fully displayed its role.

“1 specially asked the kitchen to make crucian carp soup. Try it?” Murong Chen scooped a bowl for Murong Qiao.

The fragrance floated out along with the steam, triggering Murong Qiao’s sense of smell.

The milky-white and beautiful crucian carp soup that made one’s appetite increase was decorated with a little onion on the surface.

After Murong Qiao slowly took a sip, she was fully convinced by the taste and the fresh and tender fish that melted in her mouth.

“It’s delicious.” She drank the bowl obediently.

Seeing that she liked it, Murong Chen’s expression softened. “That’s good.”

“It’s almost half a month. Even a case of influenza will be cured,” Murong Zheng said casually.

He didn’t look worried about Murong Qiao at all. Just his return was enough to express his concern.

“But you didn’t tell me you had a fever. When 1 found out that you were locked up in the swimming pool, 1 almost wanted to go to Hui University to see you,” Xian Yu muttered.

If not for Murong Chuan dispelling his thoughts in time, with Xian Yu’s personality, he might really have gone to Hui University to look for her.

Thinking of that possibility, Murong Qiao hurriedly turned serious. “It’s just a low fever. It’s nothing serious.”

“Moreover, being locked up was just an accident. 1 didn’t want everyone to worry about me over such a small matter.”

She only said that it was an accident and wanted everyone to be at ease.

However, these words were also from Murong Qiao’s heart. Her Big Brothers were usually busy enough with their own matters. She could resolve her problems herself. Murong Qiao didn’t even intend to tell them.

“But…” She looked hesitant. “1 have something else to say..”
