Chapter 19: 19

Jun Yexuan was carefully chewing and enjoying his meal when he saw He Wanqing stare at him blankly .

He couldn’t help but to stop and ask, “What is it, auntie?”

He Wangqing was a little embarrassed as she glanced at the table . “Are you okay with eating these dishes?”

Jun Yexuan was a little started and didn’t understand what she meant . So he said, “Everything’s good . ”

Then, He Wanqing asked him, “I haven’t had a chance to ask, where are you from?”

His hand that was holding onto the chopsticks shook . He deliberated a little before saying, “The capital city . ”

Mu Jinghang watched Jun Yexuan’s flustered ways and was smiling so hard, he was getting wrinkles .

Jun Yexuan wasn’t sure what was going on, but he knew .

It would be more unusual if the habits and body language of a wealthy young master didn’t scare anyone .

As expected, the next second, He Wanqing softly muttered, “No wonder . ”

He Wanqing seemed to have a lot on her mind . Seeing how her own daughter was concentrating on eating, she kicked her leg below the table .

1

“You’re a lady . When you’re eating, don’t be so wild . Be graceful, be decent, be feminine . Understand?”

3

Qiao Qing gave her a look and was completely speechless . “Mom, are you ever going to stop with this?”

Jun Yexuan suddenly realized something and his expression froze . Then, he patted Qiao Qing’s head, “The way Qingqing acts is cute . ”

2

Qiao Qing slapped off his hand . “Keep your hands to yourself . Plus, don’t call me Qingqing . We aren’t friends . ”

5

Jun Yexuan instantly chuckled . The way he looked at Qiao Qing was full of spoiled affection .

3

He Wanqing viewed these two as having a flirtatious quarrel and sighed in relief .

3

As long as her Qiao Qing wasn’t being looked down on .

*

At midnight, the same day .

Mu Jinghang had gotten Jun Yexuan’s order and once all the lights were off inside the mansion, he quietly walked towards the study room while sticking himself to the wall .

Who knew that the moment he walked to the study room door, he would see a black shadow leaning by the entrance .

Mu Jinghang shouted “AH” from the shock, and jumped back three inches .

The shadow in the dark turned on the light in the hall .

After Mu Jinghang made out the face of the man, he patted his chest to calm himself down, “Butler Chen, are you trying to scare me to death!”

1

Chen Ming didn’t make an excuse for himself nor did he seem apologetic .

He looked at Mu Jinghang and asked curiously, “Mr . Jing, what are you doing here so late at night?”

Mu Jinghang remembered why he was here . Suddenly, he put his hands in his pockets and guiltily stared into the distance .

“I was reminded of all the money I lost and couldn’t sleep . So I’m taking a stroll . ”

Chen Ming pretended to believe his made-up lies and consoled with a smile, “All men lose some and gain some . Mr . Jing, you need to maintain a broad heart and keep your perspective . Life is long . ”

Mu Jinghang dry laughed a few times with a straight face . “I am not that weak . I’m not going to harm myself . ”

Chen Ming’s tone sounded like he was comforted, “Good . ”

Mu Jinghang’s face almost collapsed from smiling but since Chen Ming showed no sign of leaving, he returned hastily to his own room .

At 3:00 am .

Mu Jinghang hopped out of his bedroom window and based on memory, he found his way to the window that he believed belonged to Qiao Qing’s study room .

2

He was just about to climb up the building when a ray of light from a flashlight shot by him, “Mr . Jing, what are you doing here now?”

“Holy mother!” Mu Jinghang screamed and he backed into the wall .

6

After confirming that it was Chen Ming again, Mu Jinghang’s heart thumped like a dog’s .

After all, he was the one doing something wrong here, so it wasn’t surprising he would react this way .

1

Scratching the back of his head, he whistled with a grin, “I came out to take a piss . Ah, yes . To take a piss . ”
