Chapter 1040: Jealousy?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Looking at the little brat’s lazy look, Miao Jing Yun felt himself going dizzy with the anger… With a heavy stomp, he pointed at the door and hollered, “You… you brat… quickly scram out of here for me! You’re really going to anger this daddy to death…”
“In that case, this junior shall bid my farewell first.” Jun Mo Xie lifted his foot and scurried away in an instant.
Seeing Jun Mo Xie’s figure disappear from the door, Miao Jing Yun felt another surge of anger rise through his chest. Half a moment later, he suddenly roared loudly and with a fierce kick, a deep hole of unfathomable depths appeared under his foot.
On the side, Miao Dao and Miao Jian looked at each other with shock as they whispered to each other…
“That brat really left?”
“Can that be faked?”
“He really left just like that?”
“Are you blind?”
“He actually dared to leave?”
“…”
Faced with the same question over and over again, Miao Jian directly decided to keep his silence. The facts were already before their eyes, so what was the point in continuing to ask? Even if you’re not tired, this daddy is tired…
That same night, the high echelon members of the Miao Family gathered to discuss this matter. The result was that because Miao Xiao Miao’s father Miao Huan Yu said something, the old master had directly flipped the table and stomped out in rage…
Jun Mo Xie had a very smooth journey home, on the contrary.
Truthfully, if there were any other options, Young Master Jun would also not choose to speak like that. From the situation now, it was definitely impossible for him to give up Miao Xiao Miao! But if he had to give up the others, it was even more so impossible!
This matter was much more serious than Jun Mo Xie’s principles alone!
There was no way he could take even half a step back!
If there is really no other way, this daddy will directly stuff Miao Xiao Miao into the Hongjun PaG.o.da and leave! We’ll see what you can do at that time!
That old fellow actually wanted me to give up on my other girls and remarry? That is impossible…
Early the next day, right after the first light of the sun shone through the clouds, Jun Mo Xie was already chased out of bed. Today was Manor Lord Miao’s 500th grand birthday. Before dawn struck, the Miao Family had already sent people to invite Young Master Mo to the celebration…
And the four people that were sent over were all men from Miao Xiao Miao’s father…
Miao Huan Yu was afraid that Jun Mo Xie would not attend today because of the quarrel with his father yesterday. There was nothing he could do about his old man’s stubborn temper, but if this little brat also grew stubborn and refused to come… what would he do if something happened to his precious daughter because of that?
Fortunately, Jun Mo Xie did not seem to mind at all and treated the matter yesterday as if it hadn’t happened at all. He washed and groomed himself simply, and left for the Miao Residence…
As for Cao Guo Feng and the rest, due to their special status, they only needed to go over when it was nearly noon to wish the old man a happy birthday. After that, they would eat and drink a bit. Saint Emperor experts still had quite a high status in the Misty Illusory Manor, and so they had special treatment…
There was also another point that must be emphasized. The matter yesterday had really given them a lot of face and allowed the anxious old Cao and others to finally relax completely…
Look at our disciple; even the Manor Lord is helpless against him! This is truly gaining us a lot of face…
Although the sun was not up yet, the Miao Family’s side was already decorated with lamps and festive colors, and it was incredibly bustling!
When Jun Mo Xie arrived, he was sat in the reception hall and was sipping on a cup of tea. However, he felt extremely uncomfortable after a short while. Because this entire place was filled with the Miao Family’s girls, a total of over a hundred people. It was as if they were trying to investigate his entire line of eight generation of ancestors, all of them posing him different questions until he almost spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed…
Finally, using the ultimate excuse of ‘needing to p.i.s.s’, he managed to slip out. Only then did he realize that all his clothes were completely soaked with sweat… facing this bunch of females was even tougher than fighting a huge battle…
When the sun was three poles high in the sky, the esteemed guests from all the different families finally began to stream in. The originally bustling Miao Family became even more lively…
At this time, Miao Xiao Miao that had finished with her preparations also finally appeared before Jun Mo Xie.
When she saw him again, Miao Xiao Miao’s face instantly reddened. From the looks of it, she had remembered the intimate moments with him the day before…
Miao Xiao Miao was originally already a peerless beauty. With her taking special efforts to dress up, she seemed even more charming and beautiful, to the point where even Young Master Jun could not help but to be dazed for a moment…
Although she was still wearing a thin veil on her face, just her pretty figure was enough to cause any man to lose their souls!
“Husband… you’re… here early…” Miao Xiao Miao walked over to Jun Mo Xie and said shyly. It was just one sentence, but her entire neck had turned red…
“Keke… I’m indeed a little early…” Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose and looked up at the sky. From the looks of the sky, it was almost noon now… This poor brother had been interrogated by that female army for several hours now…
“Husband… I know everything about yesterday’s matters now…” Miao Xiao Miao raised her head courageously and looked at him with her clear eyes.
“Hm?” What do you know? The matter of treating the injury, or…
“I know about the matter with grandfather…” Miao Xiao Miao lowered her slender neck again and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s. “Husband… don’t worry, I… I… I… am yours no matter what…”
Towards the end, her voice was nearly imperceptible. If not for his powerful Xuan skills, he would really have not been able to hear.
Her eyes were still filled with a determined gaze.
Jun Mo Xie nodded and smiled. “Don’t worry…”
At such a time, he didn’t know what he should say as well and could only say a word of comfort.
Miao Xiao Miao seemed to have been greatly encouraged by his words, and her eyebrows shot up with extreme delight. Raising her head slightly, she secretly snuck a look at Jun Mo Xie. Her eyes were clearly filled with joy and embarra.s.sment, but there was also a deep contentedness, as if she wanted to envelop his entire body…
“Little sister Xiao Miao…” Right at this time, a joyful voice rang out, breaking the amorous atmosphere.
A handsome youth in white strolled over with two others, his face wreathed in happiness.
Miao Xiao Miao snorted lightly, and an unhappy look flashed past her eyes. Without doing anything special, the lofty and cold air around her reappeared.
This la.s.s seemed to only be capable of showing her coy side in front of Jun Mo Xie. In front of others, she was completely cold and distant, causing even the hearts of people to freeze…
“Little sister Xiao Miao, this older brother came late.” That youth said with a cordial smile as he walked over. It was as if he hadn’t even seen Jun Mo Xie, directly stepping past him towards Miao Xiao Miao. “It’s a grand day of celebration today, and little sister Xiao Miao must be tired from all the preparations? Shall this elder brother bring you out for a stroll?”
Miao Xiao Miao s.h.i.+fted her eyes and replied blandly. “Brother Qiu is too kind. Today is this Xiao Miao’s grandfather’s 500th birthday; to arrange a celebration for him is only right. How could it be tiring? As for this Xiao Miao, I have other plans for myself, so Brother Qiu need not worry.”
“Little sister Xiao Miao, you’re still hahaha… so polite as usual. We have already known each other for so long, there’s no need to be so distant. Oh, may I know who this is…?” This “Brother Qiu” did not seem to realize the cold tone in Miao Xiao Miao’s words and continued to speak in a joyful manner without even a change in his expression. But when he turned around, his eyes suddenly turned vigilant. But after seeing this seemingly ordinary and unthreatening face, his wariness greatly decreased.
“This is Mo Jun Ye, Elder brother Mo.” Miao Xiao Miao introduced lightly. “I’m sure Brother Qiu must have heard of him before. Jun Ye, let me do the introductions for you. This is the young genius of the Qiu Family, Qiu Peng.”
When she was introducing Mo Jun Ye to Qiu Peng, her voice was cold as she spoke to him. But when she turned to introduce Qiu Peng to Mo Jun Ye, her expression became exceedingly soft, and her tone was warm and gentle.
Her tone was also very obvious in her words. When she addressed Qiu Peng, she simply referred to him as the ‘Qiu Family’s genius, and Brother Qiu’. Her voice was also exceedingly cold and distant. But when she addressed Mo Jun Ye, she’d directly called him ‘Jun Ye’. Her voice was also very light and intimate, with many meanings…
Even a fool would be able to hear the difference in her words, much less this genius of the Qiu Family?
Qiu Peng looked steadily at Miao Xiao Miao, and then at Jun Mo Xie, and his face gradually turned exceedingly ugly. However, he still stretched out his hand with a forced smile. “So it’s the famous Young Master Mo with the Free and Natural Physique who created a huge commotion in the Misty Illusory Manor, defeated the Zhan Family brothers, and angering Gu Fei Yu of the Gu Family to the point where he became crippled… this Qiu Peng of the Qiu Family is honored to meet you.”
“It is honored to meet you too Brother Qiu.” Jun Mo Xie replied blandly.
The more he thought about the matter, the more Qiu Peng found it queer, and anger surged up in his heart. “Little sister Xiao Miao, this older brother has a few words to speak to you in private. I wonder if it’s convenient with you?” As he spoke, he continuously glanced at Young Master Jun, as if he was saying: get lost quickly, didn’t you hear that I want to speak to her in private?!
Miao Xiao Miao glanced at him coldly. “There’s nothing that cannot be said in public, Brother Qiu, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly here. Jun Ye is not an outsider, so it’s fine.”
Jun Ye is not an outsider. This sentence was like the sharpest needle, deeply plunging into Qiu Peng’s heart, causing his handsome face to twitch violently for a moment.
Qiu Peng and Miao Xiao Miao could actually be considered to be childhood friends. They grew up together as kids, and Qiu Peng was only about two or three years older than her. He could be said to have liked her for a very long time. However, Miao Xiao Miao had always been exceedingly cold to him all this time. Yet, he didn’t really mind, thinking that heroic girls are afraid of getting into relations.h.i.+ps. As long as he managed to have some achievements, Miao Xiao Miao would naturally become his woman. Thus, he’d never given up in the slightest. Even with a strong compet.i.tor like Zhan Yu Shu as his rival, he was not discouraged.
But today, he saw that she was still as cold to him as before, while she was warm and gentle to Mo Jun Ye. The expression on her face when she talked to him was something that Qiu Peng did not dare to imagine, even in his dreams! It was something that he could never obtain. But today, it’d appeared with another man… Right now, Qiu Peng felt as if his heart was tearing apart.
