The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 532 - 496: Who Complained?

Gu Yanjing’s voice was faintly cold, with a tinge of seriousness.

Especially when he suddenly called out "Qiao Yuxian."

This "Qiao Yuxian" sounded different from how he usually called her.

A bit intimidating.

Qiao Yuxian’s back stiffened slightly.

Only after did she realize what he was asking her.

Her head was buried in the bed for a while, then she started to squirm down.

Gu Yanjing watched as she slowly retreated under the covers, pausing for a bit, then continuing downwards.

This route... it seemed she wanted to crawl to the end of the bed and escape directly. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

But today, Little Qiao’s movements were rather slow.

Probably because her body wasn’t feeling well.

Gu Yanjing patted her bottom, blocking her path.

Little Qiao halted, unable to retreat, and started moving to the left, away from Gu Yanjing.

The small lump under the blanket changed direction.

Gu Yanjing stopped teasing her and directly pulled her out from under the covers.

Qiao Yuxian grabbed the sheet, still intending to struggle a bit.

Thus, when Gu Yanjing pulled her over, it looked especially like he was holding a cat clinging to the sheet with its fur on end.

The new sheets Gu Yanjing had changed in the afternoon were pulled up.

Yet Qiao Yuxian still ended up in Gu Yanjing’s arms.

Her arms were still stretched out.

Gu Yanjing pulled her arms back, held her hands, and lowered his gaze to look at her.

Qiao Yuxian also kept her eyes down, not looking at him and staying silent.

Gu Yanjing pinched her cheek and said, "What did you do last night?"

"Who tattled?" Qiao Yuxian asked, eyes downcast.

"You have injuries on you." Gu Yanjing pressed gently on the bruised areas on her leg and arm over her pajamas.

He had applied medicine to her while she slept.

From the looks of it, she wasn’t aware of this medication.

Qiao Yuxian rolled up her sleeves and pant legs to check.

She focused only on whether her hands were injured, forgetting to check her legs and arms.

"You weren’t home, so I punched the wall." Qiao Yuxian said nonchalantly.

After she finished her sentence, Gu Yanjing added, "So I asked Meng Yan if you went out last night. He said no, seeing you return to your room. But Lu Muyao said you came back over the wall at dawn."

Qiao Yuxian: "......"

Gu Yanjing pinched her fingers and said, "Didn’t you sleep obediently?"

"Didn’t I miss you so much I had insomnia?" Qiao Yuxian replied.

"Didn’t you say I was in your dreams, so you slept?" Gu Yanjing asked again.

"That last part was a lie to you," Qiao Yuxian said. "You weren’t in my dreams. But when I opened my eyes, you were there."

Gu Yanjing chuckled slightly and asked, "So where did you go? Was it related to President Wen?"

Qiao Yuxian shook her head: "Handled some personal matters."

"All sorted?" Gu Yanjing didn’t press further.

Qiao Yuxian nodded: "I handled it myself, of course it’s resolved well."

"Next time, use the front door if you need to go out," Gu Yanjing said.

"No." Qiao Yuxian said, "I like climbing out windows, it’s exciting."

Gu Yanjing: "......"

Seeing his expression, Qiao Yuxian laughed, leaning into his embrace and said, "Is there anything delicious?"

"What do you want to eat?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"Your noodles," Qiao Yuxian said, "May I?"

"Sure." Gu Yanjing placed her back onto the bed, got up, and pressed her head gently: "Wait for a little."

"I want to accompany you," Qiao Yuxian looked up at him.

"Can you?" Gu Yanjing asked, concerned about her body.

Qiao Yuxian felt she’d recovered completely with some sleep, ready to go have a fight with Lu Muyao.

She confidently nodded, got out of bed and stepped onto the carpet.

Only to find her legs gave out...

Gu Yanjing caught her promptly.

"Ah——" Qiao Yuxian drew out her voice, exclaimed, "How could this happen!!!!"

Gu Yanjing placed her back on the bed.

"You’re laughing." Qiao Yuxian said.

"I didn’t laugh." Gu Yanjing said.

"Your expression looks like you’re about to laugh." Qiao Yuxian said looking at him.

"No." Gu Yanjing went to the wardrobe to grab clothes.

"You won’t admit it." Qiao Yuxian’s voice followed him, "Why am I like this because of you? And you laugh."

Gu Yanjing took a lighter jacket, draped it over Qiao Yuxian, then lifted her up with one hand: "My fault."

Qiao Yuxian wrapped one arm around his neck, the other feeling his arm muscles: "Great feel."

Gu Yanjing let her continue touching.

He carried her to the kitchen, took a chair from the living room and set it in the kitchen, letting her sit on it.

"Can I have a cup of honey water now?" Qiao Yuxian asked, not wanting to move at all.

"Sure." Gu Yanjing prepared her a cup of honey water, even putting a straw in the cup.

Qiao Yuxian sat in the chair, sipped on the straw, drank honey water, and watched Gu Yanjing cook noodles.

She suddenly felt the white shirt he was wearing looked sexy in the kitchen.

Not just a bit sexy, but very sexy.

Qiao Yuxian bit the straw, smiling as she watched Gu Yanjing’s side profile from slightly behind.

She thought about next time in the kitchen...

She was startled by her own thoughts, face full of shock.

Hurriedly shook her head to dispel the thoughts.

Qiao Yuxian, what are you doing?

What are you thinking?!

You’re beyond help.

Beyond help.

Too inappropriate!

...

After eating, they returned to their room to wash up and then lay back on the bed.

Qiao Yuxian demonstrated to Gu Yanjing what instant sleep looked like.

Gu Yanjing applied medicine to the bruised areas on her body once more before getting into bed.

He lay on the bed, gently holding her in his arms.

Qiao Yuxian had completely gotten used to it.

As he embraced her, she remained asleep, finding a comfortable position herself, continuing to sleep.

Gu Yanjing kissed her eyelids, nose tip, lips, and finally kissed her cheek, saying: "Good night."

His response was Qiao Yuxian’s steady breathing.

He chuckled softly, tapped his phone twice to turn off the lights, and went to sleep himself.

Qiao Yuxian slept until around nine in the morning the next day.

Upon waking, Gu Yanjing was out of the room again.

After arriving at D Continent, Gu Yanjing, Lu Mengyi, and the others were quite busy.

This place—or rather, the entire D Continent’s power dynamics—has seemed to remain in a perpetual state of establishment for years.

It seems there is nothing particularly large or stable in power.

Every day, new forces rise, and every day, others decline.

Once here, busyness is all there is.

Thus, the Nine Emperor Hall hasn’t developed its influence here.

They come to D Continent, but they come discreetly, as ordinary people.

And here, they live as ordinary people.

If they want something, like Qiao Yuxian last night, they’ll hire a power to serve them.

They rarely involve their own power.

Because it would be very troublesome.

Dealing thus, once matters are settled, there’s nothing left to tie them.

Developing here is difficult.

So for Gu Yanjing, Lu Mengyi, and the others to establish a foothold here, lasting all these years, it’s something Qiao Yuxian quite admires.

Everything goes through a process.

D Continent is developing slowly.

Once order is established, Taohua Manor’s status on D Continent might become something everyone looks up to.
