The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 548 - 512: Could She Be Falling For Me?

When Old Sir Qiao and his wife were there.

Huo Yanxin would come every year.

But later on, Qiao Yuxian took a two-year break from school and wasn’t in Yue City.

Since then, she hasn’t really come over much.

It’s been more than a year since she last saw Qiao Yuxian.

The two spent over an hour in the meditation room.

After coming out, they had a meal, chatted for a while, and then went to their rooms to sleep.

Huo Yanxin followed Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing in the same direction.

At the bedroom door, Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing pushed the door open to go in.

Huo Yanxin stopped them and said, "What are you doing?"

"Hmm?" Qiao Yuxian looked at her with confusion.

"What are you two doing?" Huo Yanxin asked, "Why are you going into the same room?"

"We’re married," Qiao Yuxian said.

"What I mean is, I rarely come over, aren’t you going to sleep with me?" Huo Yanxin said.

Gu Yanjing didn’t say anything, but he seemed not too pleased with the suggestion.

"Since I turned eighteen, when have we ever slept in the same room?" Qiao Yuxian asked with a smile.

"Can’t I sleep with you today?" Huo Yanxin said, folding her arms and looking at her.

Qiao Yuxian first looked at her in shock, then defensively: "You can’t be into me, can you? I’m married."

Mr. Gu suddenly sensed a slight danger.

"Get lost!" Huo Yanxin said, "Don’t make me hit you now."

Qiao Yuxian chuckled: "Then let me sleep with you."

"Can’t I?" Huo Yanxin said.

"You have too many ideas," Qiao Yuxian said, "When you were a kid, you wanted to drop out of school to farm, but didn’t succeed either."

"Qiao Yuxian." Huo Yanxin rolled up her non-existent sleeves, ready to hit her.

Qiao Yuxian quickly hid behind Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing blocked her.

Not able to hit Qiao Yuxian, Huo Yanxin looked at Gu Yanjing and said, "I can see it now, all hundred of us can’t spoil her as much as you do."

She figured it out just over the meal.

Gu Yanjing treasures her like a goddess.

Gu Yanjing said nothing.

Qiao Yuxian poked out her little head, blinking at her.

Huo Yanxin glared at her and said, "Come over."

Qiao Yuxian walked up to her.

Huo Yanxin looped her arm around her neck and led her to her own room, turning back to say to Gu Yanjing: "I’ll give her back to you later."

Qiao Yuxian also turned back to Gu Yanjing and said: "Don’t worry, she can’t beat me."

Gu Yanjing watched them leave.

"Who can’t beat you?" Huo Yanxin asked.

"You," Qiao Yuxian said.

"I can’t beat you?" Huo Yanxin said, "I can chase Yan Ting for two miles."

"Why did you chase him for two miles?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"He ate my roasted sweet potato," Huo Yanxin said, "It was a sweet potato I personally dug up in the country. Dug it out of the ground myself. It still had soil on it when I brought it back to Yao Mountain Island, and he ate it. Gave half to Jinbao. I didn’t even get a bite."

Qiao Yuxian nodded: "Jinbao indeed eats better than you."

"Then Jinbao had diarrhea the next day," Huo Yanxin said calmly.

Qiao Yuxian’s smile froze, looking at her.

"What kind of look is that? You didn’t have that concerned look when I had diarrhea," Huo Yanxin said.

"Why are you competing with Jinbao? It’s a dog, are you a dog?" Qiao Yuxian said.

"No," Huo Yanxin said after a pause, looking at her, "What do you mean? Are you saying I’m not as good as it?"

"That’s not what I meant, your Chinese isn’t very good, you’re not interpreting correctly," Qiao Yuxian said.

Huo Yanxin stopped walking, hands on her waist, looking at her.

Qiao Yuxian also stopped and looked at her.

Huo Yanxin said, "My poor Chinese was a long time ago, are you still trying to trick me? Dream on! Come over and get hit."

Qiao Yuxian looked at her.

They looked at each other, as if time stood still.

Huo Yanxin was unsure what she meant by not moving or speaking, but suddenly Qiao Yuxian dashed away, shouting, "You can’t catch me, you can’t catch me, you can’t catch me."

Huo Yanxin watched her run some distance, then immediately chased after: "You rascal, just wait!"

Gu Yanjing watched them until Qiao Yuxian was out of sight before returning to the bedroom.

...

Qiao Yuxian spent nearly three hours in Huo Yanxin’s room.

By the time she returned, it was past midnight.

Gu Yanjing was in his study, handling tasks while waiting for her.

"Didn’t I tell you to go to bed first?" Qiao Yuxian entered the study and sat on the carpet at his feet.

"Couldn’t sleep," Gu Yanjing said, patting her head.

"You don’t sleep much anyway," Qiao Yuxian said as she pulled up her top.

Before dinner, she’d changed from a dress to a white T-shirt.

"Check if I have a lot of handprints on my back." She lifted her shirt, then lay down slightly, her upper body sprawling across Gu Yanjing’s lap.

Mr. Gu suddenly saw her fair back and slender waist, and his gaze froze for a moment.

"That demon hit me several times in the room," Qiao Yuxian said, "Are there handprints?"

Gu Yanjing’s eyelids fluttered twice, his fingers lightly flicked her lower back: "No."

"No?" Qiao Yuxian lay on his lap, her hands hanging down, "Then it must be internal injuries. Internal injuries!"

Gu Yanjing pulled her shirt back down.

It seemed like he was preventing himself from doing anything, so he hurriedly pulled it down.

Qiao Yuxian sat back at his feet, resting her head on his leg, and asked, "Do you know who Huo Yanxin is?"

"Don’t know her Chinese name," Gu Yanjing said.

M Continent’s royalty.

Huo Junyun’s granddaughter. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Not sure what exactly she does.

An elusive person.

Nothing major she’s done particularly.

But many know of her.

"I was too naughty as a kid, she’s a few years older, and she always looked after me," Qiao Yuxian said, "Closer than a real sister."

"Did she hit you as a kid too?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"Pretty much the same as now," Qiao Yuxian said, "Doesn’t hurt when she hits, just has a loud voice. Her vocal attacks are quite powerful. She said I’m pampered by others to be this way, but it’s partly her doing too."

Gu Yanjing touched her ear, looking down at her.

"She knows me too well," Qiao Yuxian yawned, "Like Liu Zhou, Yuan Wei, you, Grandpa Nine. There are things about me you all don’t know. But she knows everything. I can’t hide anything from her. I feel like this is a curse, really scary."

So when the word "Tong Meng" appeared, she rushed over.

Qiao Yuxian finished speaking and closed her eyes quietly for a moment.

Gu Yanjing stroked her head, not saying anything.

After a while, Qiao Yuxian opened her eyes and said, "I think she’s acting a bit strange today."

"Hmm?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"She’s been asking me a lot about the dubbing studio," Qiao Yuxian frowned, "Questioning this and that. She’s never been interested in the dubbing studio."

"I was in her room for half a day, and she never asked the main thing," Qiao Yuxian said, "What’s wrong with my dubbing studio?"

"Someone she knows?" Gu Yanjing calmly analyzed.

"As far as I know, no," Qiao Yuxian sat up, "She’s never been to that studio. Plus, she doesn’t spend much time in the country. At most a week, and mainly in Yue City."

Gu Yanjing pulled her up to sit on his lap.

Qiao Yuxian sat on his lap, kissed his lips, then leaned on his shoulder and said, "I need to go to the Capital City soon. If something’s odd, there’s a reason, I urgently want to know what she’s up to."

"Wait until your injuries heal a bit," Gu Yanjing said.

"No, tomorrow afternoon," Qiao Yuxian said, "Drive back. I can’t wait any longer."
