C5 Hidden Men
Wrapped in a bath towel, Xu Ruo Qing got off the bed and walked to the door. She didn't open the door in a hurry, but looked through the peephole and saw that it was Qiao Heng outside.
"Hey, Qiao Heng is here. Don't just stand there. Go and hide." As Xu Xinqing spoke, she pushed Ling Yanhao out of her room.
Ling Yanhao stood at the door of Xu Xinqing's room. He innocently blinked his eyes and asked, "Where am I hiding?"
Xu Nianqing looked around and saw that the living room definitely wasn't good, and that Qiao Heng would be discovered as soon as he entered. There was only a glass door in the kitchen, so one could see clearly from the outside and the bathroom was fine, but what if Qiao Heng needed to go to the toilet? As she thought about it, it seemed that only her room could be used for hiding.
"Wait a moment, stand at the door and don't move." As Xu Yuqing spoke, she pushed Ling Yanhao out of her room and quickly found some clothes to change into. She then casually wiped her hair with a towel before opening the door.
Ling Yanhao obediently stood at the door, not going anywhere at all. As he listened to the bell that rang continuously, his gaze was somewhat unhappy, but when Xu Yuqing finished changing and came out, he hurriedly put away the displeasure in his eyes.
"Go in and hide in my room. Don't come out." Xu Xueqing pushed Ling Yanhao into her room and closed the door. After she was done, she nodded in satisfaction and went to open the door.
"Where did you go?" It took me so long to ring the bell before you opened the door. " The moment he entered, Qiao Heng placed his shoes on the shoe shelf and wore a pair of guest slippers. He walked to the sofa and lazily laid down on it. He did not feel like a guest at all.
Seeing how Qiao Heng didn't regard her as an outsider, Xu Ruo Qing felt helpless in her heart. However, she couldn't say anything.
"I was just taking a bath." She sat down on the sofa opposite Qiao Heng, keeping her distance from him.
When Qiao Heng heard this, he looked at Xu Xinqing's hair and saw that it was still wet. Only then did his discontented mood ease up a little.
"You don't need to worry about the engagement banquet. I will have my family arrange everything. When that happens, you only need to dress nicely and appear at the scene." Not long after Qiao Heng sat down, he began chatting with Xu Nianqing about the engagement banquet.
Xu Yuqing nodded. "Have you already arranged the specific time and place?"
"Yes, it has already been arranged. For such a small matter, are you afraid that I will not handle it well?" Qiao Heng said with a smile.
Xu Nianqing smiled awkwardly. Of course not, she just couldn't find the right words to say. She was too lazy to worry about the engagement banquet, much less Qiao Heng.
After finishing the engagement banquet, the two did not have any other common topics to talk about. The living room was quiet for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Cough cough, about that, you should still be working overtime tonight, right? I'll cook some supper for you. " After arriving at the kitchen, she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Whenever she was with Qiao Heng, she felt strangely nervous and tense, not to mention happily chatting with him.
The supper Xu Xueqing prepared for Qiao Heng was dumplings. There was already dumplings skin and dumplings filling in the fridge. Right now, all she needed to do was make dumplings. Then, he used the chopsticks to mix the meat stuffing into the middle of the dumplings' skin. Then, he wrapped the edges of the dumplings in a bag and dipped his fingers in water. Then, he pinched the edges of the dumplings into a beautiful shape, forming a dumpling just like that.
Looking with satisfaction at the dumplings she had wrapped up on her plate, Xu Ruo Qing started to wrap another dumpling. However, her body suddenly stiffened, and her hand holding the dumpling skin froze in midair as well.
"Nian Qing, you really have the potential to be a good wife and mother." Qiao Heng had arrived at the kitchen without anyone noticing. At this moment, he had his arm around Xu Xueqing's waist, his head resting on her shoulder as he whispered into her ear.
"Hur hur, really?" Xu Nianqing smiled awkwardly. Her delicate features were currently scrunched up tightly, and her delicate eyebrows were filled with her hesitation. She really wanted to push Qiao Heng away, but she thought that she was soon going to be engaged to him. If she did so, it would definitely cause Qiao Heng to be unhappy and their relationship would be awkward.
While Xu Xueqing was still in a dilemma as to whether or not to push Qiao Heng away, Qiao Heng suddenly turned her around so that she could lean against the wall. One of his hands was on Xu Xiangqing's body, while the other was on the wall behind her. His eyes were deep and serene as he looked at her.
Looking at the scene before her, Xu Ruo Qing understood what Qiao Heng was trying to do. Her heart leaped to her throat. In his heart, he thought, "No, don't, don't!
In the end, things went against his wishes. Qiao Heng's face grew closer and closer, clearly wanting to kiss her. Xu Nianqing could only stiffen her face and press her body against the wall. Her hand that was by her side tightly gripped her palm without concealing the panic in her heart.
As long as Qiao Heng dared to kiss her, she wouldn't hesitate to push him away. She didn't care if it would be awkward, it would be much better than being kissed by Qiao Heng for no reason at all.
In her mind, Xu Nianqing had already recalled countless scenes that would happen after she pushed Qiao Heng away. Some were angry, some were embarrassed, and some were sad. He slowly lifted his right hand and was about to push away Qiao Heng who was getting closer to him when the man who was originally standing suddenly fell to the ground.
Xu Xinqing's hand froze in midair. If not for the fact that her hand had not touched Qiao Heng, she would have thought that she had knocked him out with a single palm … He slowly raised his head and looked at the person standing in front of him. Ling Yan Hao was currently rubbing his hands. When he saw Xu Xin Qing looking at him, the corner of his mouth curled up into a devilish smile.
"There's no need for you to thank me. You only need to be moved silently in your heart." Ling Yanhao smiled faintly, his expression showing that he didn't need to thank me.
Xu Yueqing ground her teeth, and then kicked towards Ling Yanhao. She roared without the slightest trace of a lady: "I'll thank your sister! "Now that you've knocked him out, what do you want me to do?"
Ling Yanhao nimbly dodged Xu Xinqing's kick, and then innocently rubbed his nose, "But he wanted to kiss you, and you obviously refused as well. My bunch of people did you such a big favor, and you're still angry?"
Xu Nianqing resisted the urge to slap Ling Yanhao to death. She tried her best to keep her tone calm as she said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Help me bring the people to my room first."
Although Ling Yan Hao was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say anything more. He lifted Qiao Heng from the ground and led him into Xu Xinqing's room.
