Chapter 1117: The man she liked ended up being her brother-in-law (5)
Old Master Jing was also quite surprised. He asked directly,” Chenglin? Why are you here all of a sudden?”
After Xia Chenglin greeted her, he saw Li Qing and said,” I’m here to look for someone.”
“Looking for someone?” Old Master Jing looked around and asked,” Who are you looking for?”
Before Xia Chenglin could say anything, Jing Yanxi opened his mouth and shouted,” Grandpa, are you here to play with me?”
“..”Su Ruowan hugged Jing Yanxi in embarrassment and covered his small mouth with her hand.
“Wuwuwu.” Jing Yanxi rolled his black eyes, twisted his body, and protested.
Xia Chenglin smiled at Jing Yanxi, then immediately looked at Li Qing.
Even though she had been watching the television the entire time, he knew that she had heard his voice.
Hence, he walked over and stood in front of her, blocking her line of sight.” Xiaoqing, can we talk for a while?””
Su Ruowan looked at Li Qing and called out softly,” Mom?”
Ouyang Lui and Jing Muxuan also looked at the two in surprise. Their eyes were filled with curiosity and gossip.
Li Qing blinked and stood up.” Okay.” Let’s talk outside.”
Xia Chenglin heaved a sigh of relief. He nodded at everyone and followed Li Qing out of the house.
Su Ruowan looked at their backs and unconsciously let go of her hand. Jing Yanxi could finally breathe. He hugged her arm and shouted childishly,” Wanwan, what did you do? I’m about to suffocate because of you!”
Jing Muchen frowned at him.” Behave yourself.””
Jing Yanxi pouted, snorted, and continued to watch TV.
.
Outside the house.
Li Qing walked out with her head held high. When she was going down the stairs, perhaps because she was still thinking about something, she suddenly stepped on empty air.
“Be careful!” Xia Chenglin grabbed her arm and prevented her from falling.
In the darkness, the scent of a man’s cologne wafted into her nose. Li Qing’s body stiffened. She moved her arm away and continued to walk forward without saying a word.
Xia Chenglin stared at her blankly, then followed suit.
Li Qing stopped in her tracks under a lamp.
The design of the old house of Family Jing was more modern. There were all kinds of carved lights in the big yard, and there was a small pavilion not far away. There were wooden seats inside, where they could chat or rest.
Li Qing sat on the chair and said calmly,” What do you want to talk about? Let’s talk now.”
Xia Chenglin looked at her cold face and felt dejected.
Ever since Wu Wanqian said those words to him that day, he had been restless for the past few days. He had already prepared a thousand words in his heart, but at this moment, it was as if he could not say anything.
Li Qing waited for a long time, but there was no response. She looked up at him.” Don’t you have anything to say? Alright, I’ll be leaving then.”
With that, she stood up and was about to leave.
“Xiaoqing!” Xia Chenglin rushed forward and grabbed her hand.
“Let me go!” Li Qing felt as if she had been electrocuted. She flung his hand away and looked at him with a plicated gaze. She said sternly,” Xia Chenglin, you’re already married to my sister. Please remember that you’re a married man now.” Please watch your behavior!”
Xia Chenglin looked embarrassed.” Xiaoqing, I-I just…”
Li Qing looked away and her voice slowly calmed down.” I don’t care what happened between us in the past. At least now, you are my brother-in-law. Our relationship ends here.””
