Chapter 646 Pursuing
Qu Hao and Jing Ni had already walked to my side.
Jing Ni met my gaze. She furrowed her brows and reached out to touch my forehead. “Nanxing, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?” She asked in a low voice
I felt a warmth in my heart.
Jing Ni would always be the kind girl I had met in Jing Tian’s courtyard after my rebirth.
I shook my head slightly. “Jing Ni, I saw Lee Yang.”
Jing Ni responded with a soft oh. “We have already met earlier.”
I was a little surprised.
Jing Ni pulled my hand and turned her head to look at Qu Hao, who was talking to Jing Tian. She smiled sweetly. “He came to pick a fight, but Qu Hao got him back. I found the defeated look on his face very satisfying.”
I caught a barely noticeable smile on Qu Hao’s lips out of the corner of my eye, and I couldn’t help but feel happy.
Qu Hao’s pursuit of Jing Ni was very difficult. Jing Ni had experienced many ups and downs. On the surface, she was calm, but on the inside, she was full of scars. When she woke up from the nightmare, thanks to Shi Feng, her heart had already closed.
For so many years, Qu Hao had accompanied her patiently. It wasn’t easy for Jing Ni to go from resisting and avoiding to slowly accepting him.
Even though I missed three years of her life, after I recovered my memory, Mai Qi regaled me with how her big brother managed to pursue Jing Ni. That story would provide Mai Qi with years of joy. However, I could still see the uncertainty in Jing Ni. Qu Hao was patient enough to wait for his beloved girl to open her heart.
Over the years, Qu Hao had put in a lot of effort to be by Jing Ni’s side. After all, he wasn’t as free as my little uncle and Jing Tian. Even so, he still persevered.
Jing Ni had gotten closer to him, albeit it was not that obvious.
I shook Jing Ni’s hand and whispered to her. “Don’t worry. Beat him if you can. If you can’t, release Qu Hao to bite him!”
Jing Ni burst out laughing. She quickly lowered her head to cover her lips. Her face was already red.
Qu Hao was charmed. Then, he glared at me helplessly. “Am I a dog to you?”
I blinked. “Jing Tian said that I could bite people if I want, so we’re both dogs it seems.”
Jing Ni laughed even harder, but she didn’t want to lose her composure. She couldn’t help but lean toward Qu Hao to use him as a shield.
Qu Hao quickly put his arm around her shoulder. Qu Hao glanced at Jing Tian. Qu Hao gave me a thumbs up.
Jing Tian chuckled. He glared at Qu Hao. “Don’t you dare disappoint her!”
Jing Tian watched Jing Ni grow up. Even though he was only a few dozen years older than Jing Ni, he was her father figure. Jing Tian wanted the best for Jing Ni. Because of that, he was tolerant of Qu Hao.
There were not many people who Jing Tian was polite and tolerant. After all, this was someone who didn’t even give face to his father. Tong Le and Qu Hao were the exceptions.
I suddenly thought of the amusing Old Master Jing and Auntie Lan, who never did anything expected.
Suddenly, the people and events here felt so boring
Compared to my biological uncle, Tong Hui, I actually had a lot of relatives. After a lifetime of abuse and bullying, I could tell who my real family was. I also understand where my little uncle’s grief came from.
It was right to distract my little uncle from this meeting. I couldn’t even calm down when I saw Tong Hui again. It would be worse for my little uncle! The pain caused by the blood-related family was the deepest!
