The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 650 - 612: Help Say a Word

It was late at night, yet the people in the study showed no signs of drowsiness.

Everyone had been on edge during this period.

Qiao Yuxian could have a problem at any moment.

They couldn’t detoxify her; the only thing they could do was find Qu Qingkong, so everyone tried their best to contribute and help.

"Where is Mr. Huo?" Gu Yanjing had just asked.

The study door was suddenly pushed open from outside.

Everyone looked towards the door.

Qiao Yuxian stood in the doorway, looking surprised to see so many people inside.

She had lost some weight recently, her whole demeanor appeared slim and lean.

Especially since she wore a loose coat over her pajamas, making her look even skinnier.

Just woke up with slightly blurry eyes, she suddenly widened them, becoming much clearer.

Seeing her, Gu Yanjing immediately stood up and walked towards her.

Only when Gu Yanjing was by her side did Qiao Yuxian come to her senses, blinked her eyes, patted herself for her phone, and found she didn’t have it. She then took a couple more steps into the study and looked at the clock on the wall.

It was almost 2 AM.

"Unwell?" Gu Yanjing asked.

Qiao Yuxian gently shook her head and said, "I woke up, couldn’t find you, so I came to the study to look."

She said, looking at everyone, "You guys form a small group without me."

Qin Xia: "......"

Lu Mengyi chuckled.

Shang Chen stared at her blankly, like an unfeeling robot.

Everyone else chuckled.

Qin Xia asked, "Why did you suddenly wake up?"

"I don’t know. I just woke up suddenly, maybe I’ve had enough sleep these days." Qiao Yuxian yawned, looked at the map on the screen, and asked, "What are you discussing?"

"Qu Qingkong’s hiding place," Lu Mengyi replied.

"Sister Lu," Qiao Yuxian called out to her with a smile.

Lu Mengyi smiled and replied, "Feeling better?"

"Yeah." Qiao Yuxian nodded and walked towards her.

Lu Mengyi raised her hand and held hers.

Qiao Yuxian grasped back and said, "Just woke up, feeling much better."

Lu Mengyi looked at her and said, "Huang Qi is very capable."

"Yeah. I have faith in him." Qiao Yuxian, standing by her chair with slightly tired eyes that seemed obedient, looked at the group in the study and said, "So, you all don’t have to be in such a hurry. It’s so late, but no one resting."

"Little sister-in-law, I am a night owl, only spirited at night." Lin Huai Shu met her gaze and said.

"What night owl can withstand this kind of deprivation," Qiao Yuxian, appearing weak, spoke in a soft voice, "Qu Qingkong is unwilling for me to die; he will appear."

Hearing that word, everyone’s hearts trembled a little.

They could not bear to hear that word now.

"Mind your own business." Qin Xia suddenly spoke up, "We have our own rhythm."

Qiao Yuxian looked at her: "......"

Gu Yanjing stood behind Qiao Yuxian, his gaze resting on her shoulder without making a sound.

Qin Xia also looked at Qiao Yuxian, smiled after two seconds and said, "Since you’re awake, how about I take you out tonight?"

With her smile, Qiao Yuxian immediately understood her meaning, narrowed her eyes, and smiled, "Where to?"

"Galaxy Club..." Qin Xia’s "club" had just sounded out when Chu Zhengran covered her mouth.

Qin Xia grabbed at Chu Zhengran’s hand, trying to pull it down while glaring at him.

Chu Zhengran looked down at her, gave a warm smile, and with his voice still clear and gentle, said, "If you say another word, Gu Yanjing would have more lives to account for here."

Qiao Yuxian smiled faintly.

Lu Muyao glanced at her, then averted his gaze.

Gu Yanjing had been watching Qiao Yuxian, and seeing her smile, his expression relaxed a little.

Qin Xia pulled Chu Zhengran’s hand down, looked at him, and said, "I was talking about the street across from the mall behind Galaxy Club. What did you think I was talking about? What do you take me for? I could not possibly be interested in the twelve guys inside the club."

Chu Zhengran’s gaze sank slightly.

Yuan Wei glanced at them and immediately said, "Didn’t you tell me last time that there were ten? How did it quickly become twelve?"

Liu Zhou listened and laughed quietly, lowering his head.

Qin Xia looked at Yuan Wei and said, "Are you crazy? You enjoy watching the drama without caring about the size of the trouble. Besides, whether there are boys or not, why would I tell you that? Are you planning to go with me?"

"I love watching it," Yuan Wei earnestly rebutted.

Then everyone’s gaze turned to him.

"No, no," Yuan Wei hurriedly explained, "What kind of look is that? I like seeing handsome brothers just as girls like looking at beautiful sisters."

"I understand, I understand. I get it," Qin Xia said, "No need to explain."

"What do you mean you get it? That expression means you want to slander me." Yuan Wei was about to blow a fuse.

Qiao Yuxian smiled and said, "Brother, that’s my carelessness as your sister. I’ll keep an eye out for you in the future. After all, you’re not that young anymore."

"No, Sis." Yuan Wei’s face turned into a bitter expression, "That’s not what I meant. Ah--- Liu Zhou---"

Yuan Wei started seeking help from Liu Zhou.

Liu Zhou quietly sat to the side, and when he heard the plea, he calmly looked at him for two seconds and said, "Mm, I’ll pay more attention in the future and introduce someone suitable for you."

After hearing that, Yuan Wei leaned back in his chair, looking utterly deflated.

Everyone laughed a bit, and after teasing him, Gu Yanjing said, "Everyone should go rest."

"Alright," Lin Huai Shu said, "See you tomorrow morning."

"It’s too late; just stay at Jingyu Garden." Qiao Yuxian said.

"No," Chu Zhengran said, "I have to go home to handle some family matters."

"Alright, you go," Qin Xia said, "I’ll stay here."

Lin Huai Shu chuckled.

Chu Zhengran looked at Qin Xia.

Qin Xia said, "Why are you looking at me? Who’s going home with you? What is our relationship that we can go home together?"

"Old Chu, what’s with your speed?" Lin Huai Shu complained from the side, "I am really amazed, still haven’t caught up. I’ve prepared a full moon gift for the child, and you’re still stuck at the chasing stage."

"Hurry up and show me." Chu Zhengran delivered a sharp retort, "Let’s see if Miss Qiao would put a knife to your throat."

Lin Huai Shu went silent.

Qiao Yuxian glanced at Lin Huai Shu.

"Tell Aunt Qin to prepare the rooms," Gu Yanjing said.

"Sure," Lin Huai Shu said, "Don’t mind us. You and little sister-in-law can go rest."

They were all familiar with each other and didn’t stand on ceremony.

In just this short while, Qiao Yuxian indeed looked less energetic than when she first entered the study.

Gu Yanjing led her back to the room first.

As they turned and walked out, Qiao Yuxian looked at the map on the screen before following Gu Yanjing out.

Lin Huai Shu and the others also stayed over.

Everyone returned to their own rooms, and upon entering his room, Lin Huai Shu took off his coat and placed it on a chair.

As soon as he put it down, his phone beeped twice in his pocket.

It was a message notification sound.

So late at night, she thought it might be a message from Qiao Lechu.

This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.

Qiao Lechu was quite a night owl.

More than once, three or four hours after they exchanged goodnight, Lin Huai Shu would receive a message from Qiao Lechu sent by mistake.

Qiao Lechu loved sharing all kinds of entertainment gossip with him, asking him if it was true and discussing it with him.

Sometimes, when she got excited reading at night, she would send them to him casually.

He would catch her staying up late again.

Then, he would go out at night to gather intel and verify the authenticity of the gossip.

But today, it wasn’t a message from Qiao Lechu.

It was a message from Qiao Yuxian.

[Please help me tell Lechu. I don’t know how to tell her.]

A simple message.

After reading it, Lin Huai Shu felt uncomfortable for quite some time.

The Qiao family was still hiding the fact that Qiao Yuxian was poisoned.

Qiao Yuxian had been in bad shape for a while, barely awake, and Qiao Lechu had become suspicious, but Lin Huai Shu had managed to fudge over it.

But now, Qiao Yuxian didn’t want to hide it anymore.

Probably feeling that she wasn’t doing well and feared... the family wouldn’t be able to handle it if it happened unexpectedly.

Lin Huai Shu looked at the message on the phone for quite a while before replying: [Okay, I understand, little sister-in-law.]
