Chapter 153: 153. Not Intentionally Disturbing You (2) _1 Chapter 153: 153. Not Intentionally Disturbing You (2) _1 The screen was filled with photos of Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing at the shopping center the day before, with the comments and shares continuously surging under them.
âJingwu probably let this happen on purpose.â Quan Mingxuan had to admit.
âAre you suggesting that it was Jingwu who deliberately let these photos leak out?â Quan Yifei looked surprised.
Quan Mingxuan spoke slowly, âDo you think that without his consent, those people could have taken these photos out of the shopping center yesterday?â
âIt seems like Jingwu is announcing to all of Beijing that Jian Qing is his.â Quan Yimo chuckled.
Just like that, everyone couldnât help but burst into laughter.
It seemed their perennially ice-cold Quan family member had finally fallen in love!
In the quiet courtyard garden, the air seemed to be filled with a faint floral fragrance, and the flowers bloomed exuberantly in various shapes and colours.
Jian Qing looked up at the man beside her, her smile faint, âXiao Jing, your family is very nice!â
Such a warm and big familyâŠ
Though she was smiling, Quan Jingwu saw the loneliness hidden behind her smile. He reached up to pinch her cheek, âFool, they will be your family too!â
She chuckled lightly, her gaze drawn to a swing nearby. She stepped up to it, her fingertip stroking the peeling paint on the chain, âHas Xiao Jing also played on the swing before?â
Quan Jingwu gave a quiet chuckle, helplessly saying, âThat was Yifei and Axuanâs thing.â
He and Amo never played with such things when they were little.
âWould you like to try?â he asked.
Jian Qing looked at the swing, her mind wandering back to old memories of Master An pushing her and Luoluo on the swings.
She thought she had long forgotten those memories, but seeing this swing brought back everything vividly.
Seeing her silence, Quan Jingwu went over, pulled her up onto the swing, âHold tight.â
Jian Qing blinked, and before she could react, the swing was given a push. She reflexively held onto the chains to prevent herself from falling off.
âXiao Jing!â
Quan Jingwu seemed to have no intention of stopping; he kept pushing the swing higher and higher. Jian Qing gradually relaxed, the breeze brushing past her cheek brought a bright smile on her face.
âXiao Jing, higher, higher!â
Hearing her laughter, a smile also floated in Quan Jingwuâs eyes, and he began to push the swing even harder.
After playing for a while, the two finally stopped. Jian Qing jumped off the swing and looked at him, noticing a thin layer of perspiration on his forehead.
âXiao Jing, do you want to wash your face?â Jian Qing asked. She remembered his obsession with cleanliness.
Quan Jingwu took her hand, âLetâs go together.â
Looking at the cool-toned room in front of her, Jian Qingâs lips twitched slightly. Werenât they just washing their faces? How did she end up in his room?
She examined the furnishings in the room, which were quite similar to his room in Shijin Haoting. The huge bookshelf nearby was particularly eye-catching.
âWhat are you looking at?â Quan Jingwu came out of the bathroom and noticed her standing in front of the bookshelf. He walked over and wrapped her in his arms.
Turing her head to face him, Jian Qing saw his handsome face. âAre you done washing?â
âHmm.â Quan Jingwu leaned down to kiss her lips, his mouth curling into a mischievous smile.
Sensing danger, Jian Qing quickly pushed him away, increasing the distance between them. âJust talk, donât get touchy.â
Quan Jingwu, âSweetheart, what are you afraid of?â
Jian Qing cleared her throat lightly, âIâm not scared. Letâs go downstairs; itâs almost dinner time.â
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked past him towards the door.
After only a few steps, a forceful tug on her arm pulled her back. The next second, the manâs cold, sweet scent enveloped her senses.
âUm, Xiao JingâŠâ
She turned her head to avoid his cool lips, but this only led to a more intense onslaught from him. His hand was clamped on the back of her head, leaving her noplace to hide.
As they tangled, the two fell onto a nearby couch. As their lips touched, the room filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Suddenly the door swung open, and Rheeâs voice rang out, âLittle Qingqing, Jingwu, come down and eat.â
Rheeâs words came to an abrupt halt as she stood frozen at the entrance, eyeing the two on the couch, looking completely innocent. âUmâŠI didnât mean to interrupt you!â
Jian Qing felt her fair face flush with embarrassment. She felt as though a train of wild horses was stampeding across her mind.
This was so embarrassing!
Quan Jingwu took a deep breath before pulling her into his arms. He shielded her from Rheeâs gaze and frowned, âMom, could you please knock on the door before coming in?â
Rhee rolled her eyes indelicately, âYour door was open in the first place.â
Quan Jingwuâs handsome face darkened, Rhee quickly changed her tone, âAlright, alright, next time Iâll remember to knock. Hurry up and bring Little Qingqing down for dinner.â
Before leaving, she closed the door.
Outside the room, Rhee happily hummed a tune as she went downstairs.
âHa. It seems that becoming a grandmother wonât be too far in the future.â
âCanât wait to see my cute little grandson and granddaughter!â
As soon as the door closed, Jian Qing immediately sat up from his embrace, looking at him with a disgruntled expression, âThis is all your fault, how am I supposed to face everyone at dinner now?â
If more people had come upstairs and caught them, she really would want to find a hole to hide in.
âEmbarrassed?â Quan Jingwu lifted her chin, asking in a low, rough voice. He had been wanting to do this ever since she started making the tea. If he couldnât eat the meat, the soup would be just as rewarding.
Jian Qing slapped his hand away, glaring at him angrily. She picked up a pillow next to her and threw it at his annoyingly handsome face, âEmbarrassed your head! Go away.â
Quan Jingwu dodged the pillow and reached out to pat her head, âGood girl, donât be angry, Iâll remember to close the door next time.â
âYouâre planning on a next time?â Jian Qing snorted dismissively, got up from the couch, straightened her rumpled clothes, and walked out without looking back at him.
Quan Jingwu quickly got up, followed her to the door and tried to hold her hand but was evaded by her.
âI donât want to talk to you for now, keep your distance.â She huffed.
Quan Jingwuâs eyes twinkled with amusement as he walked side by side with her down the stairs.
As soon as they reached the ground floor, they found that only Quan Yifei and the others left in the living room. The elders of the family were nowhere in sight.
âYou two took quite a while upstairs. Weâve all been waiting to start dinner.â Quan Mingxuan stretched lazily, looked at Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing with a teasing expression.
âCould it be that you were up to something naughty?â
Quan Jingwu shot him a cold glance. âYouâre not mute if you keep your mouth shut.â
Quan Mingxuan shrugged indifferently. He thought to himself, âthis is definitely a case of biting off more than you can chew.â
Quan Yifei cheerfully walked over to Jian Qing, taking her arm, âJian Qing, grandpa and the others just went for dinner, I will take you over.â
Jian Qing nodded lightly, taking her arm and walking towards the dining hall.
