Chapter 1073: Chapter 1061: Wu Xirui Cos to the Zhan Family to Pick Up Qiao Jing
“The old man’s condition has improved a lot compared to before. If everything goes well, he shouldn’t have any more episodes for a while.”
After honestly explaining Zhan Yuanshan’s condition, Qiao Jing also ntioned a few precautions.
“However, the old man’s illness still requires him to maintain stable emotions, so try not to let him get agitated. Also, he needs to take his dication on ti and get plenty of rest.”
Zhan Qipei nodded slightly and thanked her, “Thank you very much.”
“No need to thank , it’s what I should do,” Qiao Jing replied politely.
Zhan Qipei’s thin lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say sothing, but he hesitated.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Qiao Jing straightforwardly said, “If you have sothing to say, just say it directly.”
After a mont of silence, Zhan Qipei got straight to the point and said what he wanted to say.
“Since my grandfather’s condition has stabilized, you should try to visit less often. After all, every ti he sees you, he mistakes you for my wife.”
“In fact, when you’re not around, my grandfather’s mind is quite clear. But when you co, he starts to get confused.”
Qiao Jing’s face was originally expressionless. After hearing Zhan Qipei’s words, she remained calm and simply responded, “I understand. I get what you an. Rest assured, I won’t co by unless it’s necessary.”
Hearing her say this, a sense of guilt suddenly erged in Zhan Qipei’s heart, making him feel a bit uncomfortable, even a vague heartache.
His real intention was to hope she wouldn’t appear in front of him anymore.
Because recently he’s been feeling really off, and every ti he sees her, his emotions inexplicably get stirred up.
But he knows very well in his heart that she is her own person, a different individual.
Therefore, he wanted to cut off this unusual feeling decisively and end its source.
Yet, seeing her speak so plainly, he felt sothing indescribably complex inside…
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back.”
Qiao Jing, finished speaking, prepared to leave.
Zhan Qipei snapped back to reality. Seeing that it was getting late, and the sun was almost setting, he suggested, “Let Tang Yan take you.”
Qiao Jing shook her head, “No need, I’ll just hail a cab myself.”
“This area is not easy for hailing cabs, especially since it’s rush hour now. You probably won’t get a cab for a while. Let Tang Yan take you.”
Zhan Qipei calmly analyzed the present situation.
Qiao Jing hesitated for a mont, suddenly recalling that her two sisters ntioned they were making dumplings tonight. If she gets back too late, she might hold them up.
With this in mind, Qiao Jing didn’t refuse any further and nodded, “Alright, then I’ll trouble you.”
Zhan Qipei’s gaze shifted slightly, glancing at Tang Yan beside him.
Tang Yan imdiately received the signal and nodded, “Okay.”
He then turned to Qiao Jing, “Third Miss Qiao, let’s go, I’ll take you ho.”
Qiao Jing said nothing further and simply walked towards the door.
Tang Yan followed closely behind.
Just as the two reached the entrance and Tang Yan was about to get the car, a limited edition Porsche drove up and steadily stopped in front of them.
Qiao Jing quickly recognized it as Wu Xirui’s car.
At this mont, the driver’s door opened, and Wu Xirui stepped out with his long legs.
Seeing Wu Xirui, Tang Yan was sowhat surprised.
He truly didn’t expect Wu Xirui to co pick soone up at the Zhan Family!
Wu Xirui acted as if he didn’t see Tang Yan, walking straight towards Qiao Jing.
“Seeing that you’re not ho yet this late, I got worried, so I ca to pick you up. I brought you so milk tea, your favorite flavor.”
Wu Xirui said, handing the milk tea to Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing happened to feel like having milk tea, so she didn’t refuse, reaching out to accept it.
Seeing her accept it, Wu Xirui smiled slightly, then said, “I also brought you a jacket. It’s getting chilly at night this season. Put it on, so you don’t catch a cold.”
With that, Wu Xirui picked up the jacket draped over his arm, intending to put it on Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing stepped back to avoid his gesture.
Anticipating her reaction, Wu Xirui quickly said the excuse he had prepared beforehand.
“Put it on. It’s easy to catch a cold this weather. Since we live together, even if you don’t consider , think about the eldest and second sisters. If you catch a cold and infect them, it wouldn’t be good.”
His words hit the nail on the head with Qiao Jing’s personality.
After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Jing took the jacket from Wu Xirui and put it on herself.
Indeed, she doesn’t mind getting sick, but she couldn’t risk infecting her two sisters.
Wu Xirui felt a bit disappointed for not being able to put the jacket on her personally.
However, since they’re living under the sa roof and see each other every day, there will be plenty of chances for such acts in the future!
Thinking this, Wu Xirui suppressed his disappointnt.
Unaware of Wu Xirui’s thoughts, after putting on the jacket, Qiao Jing turned to Tang Yan, “Assistant Tang, no need to trouble you now. You can head back, we’re leaving.”
After saying goodbye to Tang Yan, Qiao Jing walked towards the car.
Seeing this, Wu Xirui quickly stepped forward and chivalrously opened the car door for her.
Watching the two get into the car and then drive away, Tang Yan stood in place, feeling inexplicably odd.
With a hint of suspicion, Tang Yan turned around to head back, going to the study to report in.
In the study, Zhan Qipei was sitting at the desk reading docunts.
Hearing the commotion, he looked up and, seeing it was Tang Yan, asked in surprise, “Why are you back so soon?”
Tang Yan nodded, “We just got to the entrance when soone ca to pick up Third Miss Qiao.”
“Hmm.”
Zhan Qipei responded blandly and then refocused on the files.
Seeing that President Zhan didn’t seem interested in the matter, Tang Yan felt conflicted, unsure whether to continue talking.
After so hesitation, he decided to say, “President Zhan, do you know who ca to pick up Third Miss Qiao?”
“What do you want to say?”
Zhan Qipei slightly raised his eyes, glancing at Tang Yan, and said in a low tone, “Just say it, no need to beat around the bush with .”
Tang Yan swallowed and finally spoke up about what had been on his mind, “It was Wu Xirui who picked up Third Miss Qiao!”
On hearing this, Zhan Qipei paused in his reading.
After a few seconds, he couldn’t help but stand up and look out the window.
From the mountaintop, Purple Garden overlooks the road down the mountain.
At this mont, on the hillside, a Porsche was steadily driving down the mountain.
The Porsche being a global limited edition, Zhan Qipei recognized it at once. It was indeed the car Wu Xirui used to drive often.
Unable to resist, Tang Yan started venting a bit on the side, “I heard the eldest lady ntion before that Wu Xirui was pestering Third Miss Qiao, and I found it hard to believe. I never thought I’d see it with my own eyes so soon.”
“You wouldn’t believe how attentive Wu Xirui was to Third Miss Qiao at the entrance earlier – bringing her milk tea and a jacket, opening the car door for her with such diligence. His solicitous manner was exactly like how he used to treat the young madam!”
“For a mont there, I nearly had a misconception, thinking that Third Miss Qiao was the young madam…”
