“Whether or not he is good enough, I chose him,” Qiao Qing said, “Brothers, I hope you could respect my decision rather than give him a difficult time or hurt his pride as a man. After all, I don’t necessarily need to live here.”
Her words shook Jun Yexuan up. Qi Yusen and the others also appeared flustered.
Qiao Qing remained collected as she continued, “If I’m doing my math right, he’s been with me the longest. Though he has the bad habit of getting jealous easily, he’s been truly nice to me.”
“I didn’t grow up in the Qi family. Even if I do get admitted into the family, I don’t believe the Qi family has the right to interfere with my marriage.”
“As long as he does not betray me, I will not give up on him. He is very capable and very dazzling. He’s good enough for me. He’s only lowering his head in front of you because of me.”
“Since he’s living with everyone now, I hope we can live in tranquility. If you guys really want the best for me, you shouldn’t want to see me troubled, right?”
After she spoke, Jun Yexuan held onto her hand tightly and warmth flooded his heart.
The Qi brothers exchanged glances and walked over.
Qi Yusen patted Qiao Qing’s head, “I was wrong. I’m sorry. I won’t mock him in front of you anymore.”
Jun Yexuan, “...”
In front of her?
Qi Yuyang added, “I was wrong too! Sister, don’t be mad! You are not allowed to leave me! From now on, I’ll keep my eyes on you only. I’ll just ignore all others.”
Jun Yexuan, “...”
Qi Yeli looked over to Jun Yexuan, “How did you get so lucky for Qingqing to be so loyal to you?”
Jun Yexuan rubbed his nose, “I did good deeds in my last 8 lives.”
...
Just like that, Qi Yeli also joined the sister-hiding army.
After Qiao Qing publicly defended Jun Yexuan, the brothers treated him better, but only on the surface. In private, they started to hate him even more. They all felt like that demon seduced Qiao Qing.
They kept their hands off of him in public but bullied him privately.
Days went by. In the blink of the eye, it was time for the year end party at Sky Entertainment.
Qiao Qing skipped the celebrator lunch. Then, at night, under the close supervision of VP, Gu Xinze, Qiao Qing sent texts to Qi Yusen and Jun Yexuan before she got in the car to Sky Entertainment.
The company was abnormally cheerful as it was drowned in holiday spirit.
After last time’s lesson, Qiao Qing came through the door wearing a face mask and a cap.
However, she underestimated her fan’s observation skills.
Once she entered, her sharp-eyed fans recognized her right away.
A bunch of waiters went up to her with their eyes wide, “Goddess Qiao, are you here for the party?”
Qiao Qing, “... How did you recognize me?”
The waiter covered her mouth and laughed, “Goddess Qiao, your temperament is far too unique! Your true fans can all recognize you!”
Qiao Qing, “...”
She took down the useless covers, nodded, and tried to walk in.
However, the waiter took out a small notepad and a pen from her apron, “Goddess Qiao, I failed to get your signature last time, can you sign for me today?”
Qiao Qing hesitated but ended up nodding.
The waiter happily handed the notebook and pen to Qiao Qing.
When the other workers noticed that Qiao Qing was willing to sign autographs, they too began to crowd over her.
Last time, because of Dai Yixin’s interruption, a lot of people failed to get a picture with her and an autograph from her.
Qiao Qing became once again, surrounded by people.
