“Sister, eat this.”
“Qingqing, this is nutritious. Eat it. Look at how skinny you are.”
“Sister, this is delicious!”
“Qingqing...”
Qiao Qing saw food pile up in front of her despite her lack of movement. She once again fell silent.
After a moment, she looked over to Ning Ye, who waited by the table, “Do you have any alcohol?”
Ning Ye froze, “Alcohol? I have some.”
He then said to the maid, “Why aren’t you getting drinks for the miss?”
Qi Yusen and Qi Yeli exchanged glances and their hearts swelled up.
Qi Chengyu, who stood closest to Qiao Qing, was curious, “Qingqing likes to drink?”
The other Qi family also stared at her in confusion.
Qiao Qing forced herself to nod.
Who knew at that moment, He Wanqing decided to chime in, “Baby, why did you get into drinking? At home, you never drank.”
Qiao Qing, “...”
Ning Ye came to the rescue, “The young miss must be very happy today and wants a drink to celebrate this occasion. The young miss definitely is not a heavy drinker on a day-to-day basis.”
“Ah, I see,” Qi Shengkuan exclaimed, “It is true! We found our granddaughter today and we should celebrate! Hurry up and pour us all a glass!”
Ning Ye, “Yes, sir!”
After the drinks were poured, the Qi family all stood up and bumped their glasses. Laughter and chatters were endless at the dining table, making the four men in the corner look even more pitiful.
At the end of the meal, Qiao Qing, as expected, collapsed into Qi Chengyu’s arms.
The entire Qi family was startled. Another echo effect was created.
“Qingqing!”
“Sister!”
“Granddaughter!”
Qi Chengyu popped her back into her seat and nervously cupped her face.
He noticed that she hadn’t passed out. She merely blinked her big eyes and stared at him in a daze.
Qi Chengyu didn’t know what to do, “Qingqing?”
Qi Chumian stared at Qiao Qing’s red cheeks and scratched her head, “Is our sister... drunk?”
Qiao Qing looked over to him and her eyes brightened. She extended her hand and touched his eyelashes, “So long! So pretty!”
Qi Chumian, “...”
Everyone else, “...”
Qi Chumian’s lashes were long. When his eyes were closed, his lashes looked like fans. He looked better than a lot of girls with curled lashes that were covered with mascara.
This was one of the reasons why the brothers made him crossdress as a kid.
But the real problem was!
What was wrong with their sister?!
What happened to her coldness?!
Qi Chumian leaned into Qiao Qing’s face and blinked at her, “If you like, you can play with it however you want.”
“Eighteenth brother...” Qiao Qing called out to him. Her voice was not as distant and cool as when she was awake. Instead, she almost sounded childish. Right at him, she extended her arms, “Hugs!”
Qi Chengyan couldn’t hold it in anymore and cursed, “Why is the eighteenth getting called ‘brother’ first?! Why is Qingqing asking him for a hug?!”
It was obvious that Qiao Qing’s closeness towards Qi Chumian made him an eyesore to the family. Everyone stared at him like they wanted to skin him.
Qi Chumian didn’t care. He merely felt his heart pump so fast that it must fly out of his throat. He accepted Qiao Qing’s arms and leaned in, “Come, let’s hug.”
Who knew that Qi Chengyu would grab onto Qiao Qing and turn her away. Qi Chumian didn’t end up getting to hug anything.
Qi Chumians’ handsome face turned dark, “Fifth brother, what are you doing!? She asked me for a hug!”
Qi Chengyu refused to let go and hugged the girl even tighter. A little bit moody, he shouted at his subordinate, “Ning Hui, hire a beautician for me tomorrow. I’m going to get some eyelash extensions.”
