Chapter 391: Chapter 380: Cousin’s Wife, Will You Accept Me as Your Disciple? Chapter 391: Chapter 380: Cousin’s Wife, Will You Accept Me as Your Disciple? Living room.
Su Manqian looked at Su Manhan with a troubled expression, her brows tightly furrowed.
“Sis, what should I do about Xiao Yang? I’ve told him so many times, but he just won’t listen, sigh—”
Su Manhan also frowned, feeling somewhat at a loss regarding this matter.
“I’ve said all that can be said, and if he won’t listen, there’s nothing I can do. This isn’t right; now he’s not even eating. Where on earth has he run off to?”
At this, Su Manqian let out another sigh.
“Where else could he have gone? He must be hiding to play games for fear of us scolding him.”
Zhan Qipei and Zhan Nanqing were sitting on the couch, listening to the two women talk.
Upon hearing the words “playing games,” Zhan Qipei’s long brows knitted together.
Zeng Xiangyang’s addiction to gaming was something he was well aware of, and he had mentioned it more than once before.
But the kid hadn’t taken it to heart, and so he’d become reluctant to interfere.
Zhan Nanqing, on the other hand, had the attitude of a spectator; she had already given up on trying to persuade her cousin.
Su Manhan stood up, pulling Su Manqian with her.
“Let’s go find him and have him come back for dinner.”
For Su Manqian, as a mother, helplessness was the overriding sentiment.
“He has a bad temper. If I say a few words to him, he gets furious. I’ve discussed it with my husband; we’ve confiscated his phone before, but he just turns around and buys a new one.”
Just as the two prepared to leave, they faced Qiao Jing—and to their surprise, she was with Zeng Xiangyang.
The pair was taken aback.
Why was Qiao Jing back with Xiao Yang?
Before the two women could figure out what was going on, Zeng Xiangyang walked over, stuffing his phone into Qiao Jing’s hands.
“I promise, if you help me play one more match in the peak competition, I won’t bother you again. I’m just one game away from reaching 2200 points!”
This time, Qiao Jing wasn’t moved by his pitiful look and ignored him, walking back to the living room and nodding to both Su Manhan and Su Manqian.
She then went straight to the couch and sat down, stretching her wrists.
Zeng Xiangyang followed Qiao Jing to the couch, ignoring Zhan siblings seated there.
He stuffed all the snacks he had brought into Qiao Jing’s arms.
“Here, have something to eat, rest for a few minutes, then help me. Are you tired? Let me give your shoulders a rub.”
As he was about to reach out and massage Qiao Jing’s shoulders, a deep voice stopped him.
Zhan Qipei’s gaze towards Zeng Xiangyang couldn’t help but turn icy.
He usually didn’t bother with this cousin, but now the cousin even wanted to touch his wife?
Zeng Xiangyang was still quite afraid of Zhan Qipei, silently retracting his hand that was almost on Qiao Jing’s shoulder, and swiftly changed the subject.
“Qiao Jing, no, sister-in-law, have some food and rest. I’ll open the chips for you, and I can twist off the cola cap, too.”
He had just witnessed Qiao Jing play those two rounds of King of Glory, his eyes barely keeping up with her.
Much more impressive than any of the experts he knew!
Su Manhan and Su Manqian were dumbstruck, watching Zeng Xiangyang in disbelief.
They exchanged a glance and saw the shock on each other’s faces.
They knew Xiao Yang was particularly unruly, never listening to anyone. You tell him off for one thing and he would retort with ten things.
Moreover, because he liked only gaming, he had a very limited social circle and was generally rude to others.
Apart from addressing his own parents, Zhan Qipei, and Old Master Zhan, he would call everyone else by their full names, without any regard for whether they were his elders.
Now he was calling Qiao Jing sister-in-law, offering all the snacks he brought specifically for her?
Giving them to Qiao Jing was one thing, but also opening packages and twisting caps?
Zhan Qipei’s expression grew darker and darker.
Was his cousin actually sweet-talking his wife?
If his wife wanted something to eat, wouldn’t he know how to open it for her?
Zhan Nanqing noticed Zhan Qipei’s expression and couldn’t help but make a snarky comment in her heart.
It’s totally outrageous!
A kid barely over ten is getting jealous?!
But… she also found it strange that her little cousin, who usually looked down on everyone and had a very bad temper, was now being so nice to Qiao Jing?
Seeing that Zeng Xiangyang had even opened the chips and cola for her, she really couldn’t fend off his attentiveness.
Zeng Xiangyang immediately started nodding frantically, fearing that Qiao Jing wouldn’t agree. He quickly pressed the matchmaking button and handed the phone to her with both hands.
“Cousin-in-law, it’s all on you!!”
Qiao Jing sighed helplessly and agreed to help him out once more.
This game she chose Diao Chan, and right from the start, she collaborated with the Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience.
As the sound effect played, Zeng Xiangyang began excitedly slapping his thigh, his entire face turning red with excitement.
“Amazing, amazing!! So amazing!”
This exclamation made everyone curious, and they all stared at Qiao Jing and Zeng Xiangyang.
But since they didn’t understand the game, they had to sit by and wait for it to end.
Ten minutes later, another sound effect came from the phone.
Zeng Xiangyang jumped up from the sofa.
“Yes! Cousin-in-law, push the crystal!! A pentakill, they’re all dead; it’s a great chance!!
Cousin-in-law, the Diao Chan you play is also amazing; you always dodge the enemy’s damage with your second skill!”
Qiao Jing gave Zeng Xiangyang a fleeting glance without a word and controlled her character to move toward the enemy crystal.
Finally, at twelve minutes, they secured the victory for the game.
In the game settlement screen, Qiao Jing was the godlike MVP, with the highest damage output.
Her teammates all gave her thumbs up before exiting the game.
After finishing that game, Qiao Jing returned the phone to Zeng Xiangyang, making sure not to give him a chance to ask her to play again.
“This was the last one.”
She leaned back in the chair and looked with a bit of puzzlement at Zeng Xiangyang, who was still excited and red-faced.
Was the game really that difficult?
Why was Zeng Xiangyang so excited?
Zeng Xiangyang took the phone with both hands and ran to pour Qiao Jing a cup of hot water, which he placed on the table.
“Cousin-in-law, have some water. You can rest assured, I won’t go back on my word. Also… can I, talk to you about something?”
Just as Qiao Jing was about to drink water, she heard Zeng Xiangyang’s words and thought he wanted her to play the game again, so she promptly refused.
She had already played several rounds for Zeng Xiangyang, and she wouldn’t play for him again.
Zeng Xiangyang became a bit anxious and let out a distressed sound.
“I don’t mean for you to help me play King of Glory, what I want is…”
His face slightly embarrassed and avoiding eye contact, he stuttered out a sentence.
“Cousin-in-law, take me as your apprentice, I’ll do whatever you say from now on, if you tell me to go east I’ll never go west.”
Qiao Jing was rendered slightly speechless, her tone growing firmer.
“Right now, you should be focusing on studying, not getting addicted to playing games. Besides, I’m not that good at this game.”
She had heard from Zhan Nanqing that Zeng Xiangyang was still a sixth-grader, and she felt it wasn’t right for him to be so absorbed in gaming.
The first game she helped with was because he had not given her a chance to refuse.
Afterwards, she was badgered into playing several more rounds, and the one just now was going to be the last.
Zeng Xiangyang was struck by Qiao Jing’s last statement and started shouting.
