Qiao Yuxian looked at the person in front of her and quickly matched him with soone in her mind.
Tang He.
The one from Interpol.
The one who was always calling Gu Yanjing.
The one she had seen but who had never seen her, Tang He.
Several years had passed, and her impression of Tang He had beco a bit vague.
Now that she saw him, he seed to look like so sort of enchantress.
Strong features, almost 1.9 ters tall, with a thin waist and long legs... a big enchantress.
Qiao Yuxian was montarily surprised but quickly regained her composure, discreetly sizing him up and asked, "Looking for Gu Yanjing?"
Tang He looked at her, also sizing her up, and his gaze was obvious. After a pause, he said, "Qiao? Yu? Xian?"
He said the three characters one by one as a question.
Qiao Yuxian nodded.
His scrutiny didn’t make her uncomfortable.
However, his aura around him was changing little by little, making her feel sothing was off.
He ca across as pretty relaxed initially, but after seeing her, that relaxed vibe was slowly turning tense, quickly transforming into hostility.
It was obvious, this hostility was directed at her.
Qiao Yuxian looked at him, her brain working quickly.
Grudge?
No, not really.
She had only t him once.
Besides, she hadn’t done anything that would get her on Interpol’s radar.
Those two years, she fought for justice and even helped them.
Why did he seem to have such a grudge?
"Um..." Qiao Yuxian didn’t finish her words as Tang He suddenly stepped forward to strike.
Qiao Yuxian imdiately dodged.
Tang He kept coming forward.
After dodging a few more tis, seeing he wouldn’t stop, she started to fight back.
As soon as she fought back, Zhaocai started barking.
While blocking Tang He’s arm, Qiao Yuxian turned to Zhaocai and said, "Don’t bark."
Zhaocai instantly fell silent, but kept its eyes on Tang He, using its paws to open the door of its cage, ready to leap out at any mont.
Housekeeper Lu and Aunt Qin heard the commotion and hurried to find Gu Yanjing.
The other servants stood aside, eyes on Tang He.
Usually responsible for cleaning and watering the plants, they were actually bodyguards for Jingyu Garden.
As long as Qiao Yuxian didn’t fall behind, they wouldn’t intervene.
Since Qiao Yuxian hadn’t called for help, they didn’t move.
Tang He was skilled; as Qiao Yuxian fought with him, they moved from the living room entrance all the way inside.
In the process, a potted plant was knocked over.
When the pot shattered on the floor, Qiao Yuxian suddenly kneed Tang He hard in the ribs.
Tang He montarily retreated, bent over and clutched his ribs, looking at Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at the plant.
It was one Shang Chen had just bought, had painstakingly selected the pot, and cost several hundred.
"Tsk. You’re in my ho, hitting is one thing, but you hit my plant too." Qiao Yuxian’s voice turned a bit chilly.
Tang He grunted, touched his rib, caught his breath, and then imdiately moved forward again.
Qiao Yuxian stretched her wrist, then stepped forward to catch his punch, following with a kick.
At that mont, Gu Yanjing and several others arrived.
When Aunt i called him, Gu Yanjing didn’t think much of it and continued discussing work with Chu Zhengran and Lin Huai Shu.
First, he was very familiar with Tang He, not needing special reception.
Second, Qiao Yuxian was on the first floor and would take care of him.
It wasn’t until Aunt Qin and Housekeeper Lu ran to the third floor that he realized the two were fighting.
The group hurried down.
They saw Qiao Yuxian already having the upper hand while Tang He seed unable to hold his ground.
Qiao Lech watched them worryingly.
Lin Huai Shu held Qiao Lech’s hand, comforting her, and quietly asked, "What’s going on?"
Chu Zhengran shook his head.
Qin Xia said, "Who’s that? Tang He?"
Chu Zhengran nodded again.
"Why does he look different from before?" Qin Xia looked carefully, "So handso now?"
Chu Zhengran said nonchalantly, "Where’s the handso?"
"Not as handso as you." Qin Xia’s eyes stayed on Tang He, giving Chu Zhengran a dismissive three words.
Chu Zhengran: "......"
Gu Yanjing looked at them.
Tang He wasn’t using all his strength, nor was Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian once again deflected Tang He’s incoming arm, with an elbow aiming for his face.
But before hitting his face, she stopped her movents, pushing his shoulder instead.
After Tang He stepped back, he was about to co forward again.
Qiao Yuxian was shocked. Not done yet, here he cos again.
She moved forward too.
But before the two could touch, Qiao Yuxian was restrained from behind.
Chu Zhengran and Lin Huai Shu squeezed in front of Tang He.
Lin Huai Shu imdiately greeted, "Hi, long ti no see."
Tang He looked at them both, unable to scatter the killing intent, anger unabated, wanting them to move, but neither did.
Qiao Yuxian was being held by Gu Yanjing, struggling and said, "Don’t hold back. Today, I’m going to beat him until he doesn’t even recognize you."
Gu Yanjing pulled back her waved fist, "What happened here?"
Hearing his question, Qiao Yuxian turned to look at him, paused for two seconds, and complained, "Honey. He hit !"
Tang He: "?!"
Gu Yanjing held Qiao Yuxian’s hand, taking her directly to face Tang He.
Tang He looking at him, t his icy gaze, almost spitting out blood, "Damn! You believe whatever she says? Want to check your ho footage, see how many hits I took?"
"If your skills aren’t up to par, who’s to bla?" Qiao Yuxian said.
Tang He looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian, arms crossed, stood next to Gu Yanjing, chin lifted with a smirk as she eyed him.
Tang He was infuriated, anger rising, his eyes almost reddened, looking more nacing, "Don’t you care about her?"
"You co to my ho, lay hands on my wife, shouldn’t you give an explanation?" Gu Yanjing asked.
Tang He looked at Gu Yanjing, after a mont, laughed, but the smile didn’t reached his eyes, "If I don’t explain, would you fight then?"
Gu Yanjing looked at him without speaking.
But that look said it all.
He would fight.
Tang He, knowing him for years, clearly understood what he ant.
"You, you, you..." Tang He was flustered, "If I’d known you were so smitten, I wouldn’t have beco friends with you."
"Too late." Gu Yanjing said coldly.
Qiao Yuxian mimicked Gu Yanjing’s tone, "Too late!"
Tang He looked at Qiao Yuxian again.
That look, it was as if he wanted to take her into custody.
Qiao Yuxian, chin raised, again imitated Gu Yanjing’s tone, "Explain!"
Tang He glanced at her, ignoring her.
Qiao Yuxian took a breath and called again, "Honey."
Gu Yanjing looked at Tang He, also said, "Explain, please."
Tang He looked at the couple, almost bursting with frustration. Finally, he explained, "You’ve never seen ?"
Qiao Yuxian looked at his enchantress-like appearance, seriously thinking about it.
You’d rember a face like that after one look.
But she was sure she’d only seen him once, "Just once. What about it?"
"Do you not rember where you saw ?" Tang He asked seeing her expression.
"At a fighting arena in D Continent," Qiao Yuxian said.
"And then?" Tang He asked.
"Then..." Qiao Yuxian thought again seriously.
Then?
Then she fought in the arena?
It should be.
Those years she was fighting everywhere, it all got mixed up, she really didn’t recall it clearly.
She only rembered seeing Tang He.
And she was quite sure Tang He hadn’t seen her appearance at that ti.
She was wrapped up tight.
While thinking this, Qiao Yuxian scratched her temple with her index finger. She glanced at Tang He, then slowly turned to look at Gu Yanjing.
After a while, she whispered, "If I got into so trouble, is it easy to resolve?"
Gu Yanjing looked at her cute guilty face, stroked her cheek, "This is our turf."
Qiao Yuxian nodded in agreent, "Then I’ll think a bit more."
