Chapter 49: Qin Qiao VS Zhan Qing

If it was someone else, Qin Qiao would have gotten angry back. However, facing Ninth Uncle, no matter how painful her nose was and how angry she was, she had to hold it in.

“You still dare to talk back to me!” Zhan Qing angrily said.

“I wouldn’t dare, Ninth Uncle. I was wrong, I will reflect on it. It’s all my fault!”

Qin Qiao then gave a 90 degree bow.

“Garrulous!” Zhan Qing flicked Qin Qiao’s forehead.

Faced with such a cute and annoying Qin Qiao, Zhan Qing found it hard to get angry…

He helplessly bent down to pick up Qin Qiao’s spectacles. He did not know why this child liked to wear such big eyewear.

It looked adorkable…

Of course, Ninth Uncle did not know that there were words like ‘adorkable’.

Chi Shuai had used such a word to describe a newborn puppy in their camp…

Zhan Qing put Qin Qiao’s spectacles back on her face, and seeing her red nose, he felt his heart clench for a bit.

His slightly rough hand touched Qin Qiao’s nose. “Does it hurt?”

“Mm, it hurts!” Qin Qiao vigorously nodded her head.

She thought in her heart that even if it did not hurt, she would say so just so he would feel some sort of concern towards her.

Only coquettish children have candy to eat…

But she could not get used to Ninth Uncle’s habit of hitting her.

He either kicked her or hit her. Earlier on, he even flicked her forehead. She did not know where he would destroy next.

Ninth Uncle might end up killing her before she could even get what she wanted…

Little did Qin Qiao know that later on in her life, Ninth Uncle would then be reluctant to beat her and only want to bully her around.

Qin Qiao’s nose turned slightly red when she hit it.

However, it turned even redder as Ninth Uncle’s calloused hand rubbed her delicate skin…

“Useless!” Zhan Qing felt irritated seeing it getting redder and his tone was harsh.

But deep inside, he was worried that her nose bridge was broken…

“Ninth Uncle…” Qin Qiao pulled at Zhan Qing’s sleeve. She then looked at him with moist eyes.

Zhan Qing felt a fire burning in him and his Adam’s apple bobbed.

At this moment…

“Ninth Master…” Xiao Yihan walked over from afar. Anger was visible on his noble face.

Qin Qiao had never seen Xiao Yihan since she last slapped him.

Young Master Xiao of Y City was well-known for his conceitedness and cold demeanor.

After Qin Qiao had slapped him, Xiao Yihan did not take the initiative to find her.

Otherwise, he would not have come looking for her two years after she had broken up with him.

Xiao Yihan was a clean freak and his character was difficult to deal with.

Zhan Qing pinched Qin Qiao’s nose and seeing that he did not shout in pain, he was relieved that it was not broken.

“Qiaoqiao, your greeting!” Zhan Qing said in a deep voice.

Qin Qiao looked dazedly at Ninth Uncle, seeming to not know who to greet.

But Xiao Yihan understood. The hands that hung by his sides clenched into fists.

“Say hello!” Zhan Qing helplessly said as he looked at Qin Qiao’s blank face.

“Oh…” Qin Qiao then regained her senses. Ninth Uncle wanted her to greet Xiao Yihan.

“Hello, Uncle Xiao!” Qin Qiao bowed down to greet Xiao Yihan, but her greeting sounded distant.

Xiao Yihan’s expression did not look good, but because Zhan Qing was around, he still offered a reply.

The guard had informed him that Ninth Master’s car had arrived.

But seeing that he did not come in, Xiao Ding came out to meet him.

“What took you so long? The guard said that you have been in for a long time! Come, Qiaoqiao, come to Great-grandpa!”
