Qiao Qing also started to sway Qi Shengkuan’s arm, “Grandpa, don’t hit them, okay?”
Qi Shengkuan looked sad, “My dearest granddaughter, you may ache for them, but don’t you ache for me? Your grandma and I are 88 this year. There’s a limit on how much more time we have. Shouldn’t these bastards be punished for not letting us know about you?”
Qiao Qing inhaled deeply. Then, she pushed away Qi Chengyu and started to run outside.
“Qingqing!”
“Granddaughter!”
“Sister!”
Qi Shengkuan was flustered. He started to march outside in a hurry, “I won’t hit them! I won’t! Fifth grandson, go get your sister! Tell her I won’t hit her brothers! Tell her not to be mad at me!”
Qi Chengyu heard the order and started to run. Just as he was about to go outside, Qiao Qing had run back in.
She brought back a small backpack and walked right past him. She stumbled her way to Qi Yusen and Jun Yexuan.
She took out her two hands and grabbed onto each of their pinky.
“Brother, big pork hock, let’s run away from home. I don’t want to see them anymore!”
Qi Yusen, “...”
Jun Yexuan, “...”
Qi Shengkuan, “...”
Everyone else, “...”
Jun Yexuan’s heart melted. He wanted so much to pick her up and stuff her into his arms. However, due to the parents’ glaring stares, he could only think about it.
“Good Qingqing, your grandpa won’t hit them anymore.” Wen Yuzhen walked over, smiled, and patted Qiao Qing’s head. Then, she angrily looked at Qi Shengkuan.
“Look at what you’ve done! Qingqing already was distant towards us. Now because of what you did, she hates us!”
Qi Shengkuan also walked over and tried to redeem himself, “Granddaughter, I apologize to you. I won’t hit them. Can you not be mad at me? Can you not run away from home?”
Qiao Qing aggressively shook her head. Her eyes were so bright at this point it was scary, “Okay!”
Qi Shengkuan, “...”
Why did he feel like he had been tricked?! And the thing was, he was willingly being tricked!
Qi Chengyu said, “Brothers, I think it’s okay to omit third young master Mu from some pain. But third young master Jun wants to be with our sister... I...”
He paused here, “I don’t think it’s going to be that easy.”
“Yes, it won’t be that easy!”
“Not that easy!”
“...”
The youngest generation of the Qi family all agreed.
Jun Yexuan, “...”
Though he was mentally prepared, when the moment actually came, his heart felt stuffy.
He grabbed onto Qiao Qing’s hand and then said to the arrogant crowd, “So, what do you brothers want?”
Qi Chengyu said, “Number one, within the next seven years, there won’t be talks of marriage. You cannot cross the boundary either. We are going to spoil her until she’s 25 before we discuss further.”
Jun Yexuan, “...”
Qi Shengkuan looked over to Qi Chengyu, “Fifth, seven years is too short. These days, girls get married when they’re 30.”
Jun Yexuan, “...”
As Jun Yexuan’s face turned green, Qi Chengyu gently coughed, “Let’s say 7 years for now. If we don’t feel like that’s enough time, we’ll extend it.”
Jun Yexuan, “...”
“Also,” Qi Chengyu continued, “As my sister’s man, you must be capable with your career as well as housework. You have to pass my test first by making a meal that I am satisfied with.”
Jun Yexuan, “...”
Sixth brother Qi Xingyou said, “As my sister’s man, being capable physically is a must. Look at how skinny you are, you look like a chicken. I wonder if you have any muscles at all. Climb the Tai mountain with me. If you get to the peak before me, then I’ll let you be with my sister.”
Jun Yexuan, “...”
Mu Jinghang, “...”
