Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "How co you’re here too?"
Qu Keke pouted, "Can’t I be? You know I always loved tagging along with my brother and you guys when I was little."
Qiao Xi almost laughed out loud, "But your brother never seed to like having you around."
Qu Keke puffed out her mouth, "Qiao Xi, you’re an!"
Qu Jiashu coughed, "She knew I was going to Xiaotang Mountain to have dinner, and she insisted on climbing into my car. I couldn’t drive her away."
After all, his own sister had given up on a married man and set her sights on a golden bachelor. As her brother, he definitely had to support her.
And by the way, use Qiao Xi to build a bridge.
Qiao Xi sat with her back straight, looked up at Qu Jiashu, and smiled slightly, "You don’t have to explain to ."
Qu Jiashu looked sheepish, "Cough, fasten your seatbelt, I’m going to drive."
The car glided away.
After a while, Qu Keke shifted her bottom towards Qiao Xi, "Qiao Xi."
Qiao Xi turned to look at her, her eyes showing so interest.
Long ti no see, this young lady actually showed a pleasing expression toward her.
Qiao Xi with an expressionless face, "Speak directly if you have sothing to say."
Qu Keke felt she was so cold and aloof.
Although she had always been like that.
Qu Keke covered her mouth with her hand, whispered, "Can you give your brother’s phone number?"
She had even chased him to Yuanyang Technology, but couldn’t even see Chen Jiayan’s face.
Dead before even becoming a soldier.
She really had no other way.
She had to at least make her presence known, right?
Qiao Xi sized her up, "To give soone else’s number to another person, one must first ask the person for their permission."
"Can’t you be a bit more flexible?" Qu Keke was about to go mad, feeling so annoyed and helpless inside.
Qiao Xi was nonchalant, "Okay, then I’ll ask him."
Qu Keke was on the verge of exploding, "I an for you to give the number directly!"
"Qu Keke!" Qu Jiashu glanced at them from the rearview mirror, "Mind your tone!"
Don’t you know you’re asking for a favor?
"Please, Sister Xi," Qu Keke hugged Qiao Xi’s arm and even coquettishly shook it a few tis.
She was clearly going all out.
Not caring about her own dignity anymore.
She had never begged Qiao Xi before, let alone called her ’Sister Xi’, always calling her by na, with an air of superiority.
So this huge change made Qiao Xi’s skin crawl.
"Don’t be coquettish with ," Qiao Xi said, pushing her away with one finger, standing firm, "He is my brother, not soone else’s. I can only ask him for you, but I can’t decide on my own. That’s respect for others."
She had to know Chen Jiayan’s attitude.
"Fine, then fine," Qu Keke was a little upset, but she also knew Qiao Xi was making sense. She compromised, "Then you help ask, ask right now over the phone."
Qu Jiashu also said, "Xi Xi, just help ask. Let Qu Keke understand what failure feels like."
Her life had been too smooth, proud and arrogant. Aside from the matter with Shen Dang, she had never experienced any other setbacks.
But Shen Dang is Shen Dang, she had only wanted to marry into the Shen Family, never pursued Shen Dang. Now, she planned to chase after a man.
She needed to realize that not everything in the world goes as one wishes.
Qu Keke glared at him, "Brother!"
Is that the way to talk?
As soon as Qiao Xi saw Qu Keke, she knew the siblings’ intention, "Okay, then I’ll make a call and ask."
Qu Keke’s eyes twinkled, "Then you can also ask if he wants to co out and have dinner together."
Qiao Xi swept her gaze over Qu Keke coolly.
Qu Keke gave a flattering smile, urging her, "You call, make it quick."
Qiao Xi dialed Chen Jiayan.
After a few rings, the call was quickly answered.
"Xi Xi."
Chen Jiayan’s light voice ca through.
Qu Keke eagerly leaned towards Qiao Xi, trying to catch a bit of Chen Jiayan’s voice.
Qiao Xi gave Qu Keke a side-long look, not bothering with her.
She asked Chen Jiayan directly, "Brother Jiayuan, do you rember Miss Qu Keke whom we t at Xiaotang Mountain last ti?"
"I have so impression, what’s up?"
He rembers !
Qu Keke’s mouth imdiately curled up into a girlish, chard expression.
Seeing her like this, Qiao Xi thought that she had really fallen in love; who would have thought that love at first sight existed in this world.
She cleared her throat, "It’s like this, Qu Keke would like your mobile number. It’s not my place to ddle in your private affairs, so I’m asking for your permission."
After a few seconds, Chen Jiayan’s voice ca through, "Is she with you now?"
Qiao Xi didn’t hide anything, "Mhm."
"Then hand her the phone, I’ll talk to her."
Chen Jiayan’s voice was unfluctuating, as detached as if it didn’t concern him.
"Okay."
Qu Keke quickly grabbed Qiao Xi’s phone, put it to her ear with a coy voice, "This is Qu Keke."
Qu Keke’s face, previously lively and charming, instantly looked dejected as whatever Chen Jiayan said hit her. She hung her head, a picture of emotional hurt, wilted like frostbitten eggplant.
Qu Keke returned the phone to Qiao Xi and scooted over to the car window, creating a distance from Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi: "..."
Qiao Xi looked down to see the call had ended.
"What’s the matter?"
Although his sister was a bit off in the head, Qu Jiashu was still quite concerned.
Qu Keke humphed and turned her head to dully watch outside, not saying another word for the entire trip.
Qiao Xi and the Qu siblings arrived at Xiaotang Mountain. As soon as Qu Keke entered, she automatically blocked out everyone else and sat in the corner.
Seeing Qiao Xi and Qu Jiashu co in after her, Su Tutu called out to Qiao Xi, "Xi Xi."
Qiao Xi sat down beside Su Tutu, who sized her up, "How co you ca with them?"
"Jiashu ca to pick up."
"Boss Shen?"
"He’s on a business trip."
Su Tutu teased, "Boss Shen is on a business trip and you still willingly co out alone?"
Qiao Xi lifted her eyelids to look at her, "What are you implying? If Brother Chao isn’t around, do you just vanish?"
Su Tutu giggled and hugged Sheng Chao’s arm, resting her head on it, "Right, I wouldn’t co if Chao weren’t here."
"Couples should obviously be together." Sheng Chao lowered his head and kissed Su Tutu’s lips as if no one else was present.
Qiao Xi couldn’t bear to look; these two had no sha.
"Don’t do that; I won’t be able to eat later."
At that mont, Tang Honghe hung up his phone from the balcony and strolled in, "Lately I don’t know what Wenbai has been up to. He said he’s busy and won’t co. Brother Dang isn’t here either, how boring."
"If you’re bored, you can go ho," retorted Qu Jiashu, eyeing him.
"I’ve been invited out tonight, so I at least have to eat my fill before I can go back, right, sister-in-laws?"
Tang Honghe smiled rrily at Qiao Xi and Su Tutu.
