Chapter 1742: Do You Know This Woman?
Ji Chi looked at Qu Xiujie in confusion and his voice became gentler. “Granduncle, I seem to understand now that you’ve said that.”
“Aye, that’s right. I told you that you’re the smartest among the three.”
Qu Xiujie nodded and looked at Ji Chi in relief. “That’s what I meant.”
“So you’re saying that you find it embarra.s.sing but you’re unwilling to say it? Or you’re unwilling to tell me or Ran Ran, or perhaps…”
“Hey, hey, hey. You child, where did you learn to think like this?”
Qu Xiujie frowned and widened his eyes. His voice turned sharp. “Ping An, I’m telling you that you can’t be with Uncle Charlie anymore. Let’s go. Granduncle will bring you to play.”
“I’m not going.”
Ji Chi walked back to his seat and looked at Qu Xiujie with his beautiful eyes. “Granduncle, why don’t you sit down and listen to Uncle Charlie’s other story?”
“I don’t want to. You guys can continue listening. Is Ran Ran going with granduncle? Granduncle can perform magic too.”
Qu Xiujie smiled at Ran Ran.
“Granduncle, do you know magic too?”
“Right, granduncle’s magic isn’t bad.”
Qu Xiujie did not panic even though he had never learned magic.
“Then, do you know if the Pink Princess ended up with Knight?”
Ran Ran blinked her big watery eyes.
“What Pink Princess? What Knight? What are you talking about?”
Qu Xiujie was confused and looked at the three children in front of him and the serious-looking butler Charlie. He raised his voice. “What story is this?”
“Granduncle, if you don’t know this story, I won’t go with you. I want to listen to Uncle Charlie’s story.”
Qu Xiujie did not know that Butler Charlie was actually better than him when it came to dealing with children. The lively and active Ran Ran was actually so obedient in front of Charlie, which made him a little disappointed and sad.
“Alright then, listen to the story. Granduncle will go elsewhere.”
Qu Xiujie did not go anywhere and merely walked around the pavilion. Before he entered, he heard laughter coming from the pavilion. It was as beautiful as spring and the spring breeze made him feel comfortable.
When Zhang Manhua brought Butler Charlie home, Qu Xiujie followed her back to her house.
Sitting in the car, Qu Xiujie was a little depressed and his emotions were captured by Zhang Manhua.
“Xiujie, what’s wrong with you? Are you unhappy that I asked you to apologize to Madam Ji?”
“I’m not. I’m just a little unwell today.”
Qu Xiujie’s voice was m.u.f.fled and it was surprising. He was such a strong person but he actually felt uncomfortable and even moved at times like this.
“Where are you feeling unwell? Do you want to bring me to the doctor?”
Zhang Manhua was very nervous. After all, she had been living with Qu Xiujie for so many days ever since she returned to the country and did not know that there was discomfort with his heart. If this was in the past, she would have been shocked.
“No need. It’s just a small issue. I’ll just rest myself.”
Qu Xiujie leaned against the back of the chair. His black jacket did not diminish his manliness but instead added a male aura. Compared to Butler Charlie, who was driving the car, he looked more mature and experienced.
This was also the reason why Mao Nana could not bear to forget him. In this man, other than his uncle’s handsomeness, she also saw his ruffian-like personality. Compared to those big-bellied uncles around her, he was very unique.
Of course, Qu Xiujie did not expect to see Mao Nana again so soon and in front of Zhang Manhua’s house.
When the three of them returned home , it was already evening. The evening sun was hung at the horizon, giving off a sense of charm. The colors of the morning sun were beautiful and full of charisma. It made people happy, and they all praised it as the most beautiful morning sun in all these years.
Qu Xiujie saw Mao Nana standing at the entrance of the house under the setting sun.
Mao Nana was wearing a white knitted top and her long, bare legs attracted the attention of men and women pa.s.sing by. Her beautiful makeup and exquisite facial features made people stop in their tracks. They could not help but look at her twice before reluctantly leaving.
“Madam, do you know this woman?”
Butler Charlie was very confused. Ever since they moved to this house, other than Pei Ge, there were not many women who would stand in front of this house. He had no recollection of seeing this girl.
“I don’t know her. Who is she?”
Zhang Manhua took a closer look and realized that she had no idea where to start. She could not recall who this woman was or why she was in front of the house.
“Could she have found the wrong person?”
Charlie made a guess but ignored Qu Xiujie who was sitting at the back.
“Why does this woman look so familiar?”
Mao Nana’s back was facing the car and a beautiful back view appeared in front of them. However, her long legs left a deep impression on Qu Xiujie.
Back then, he was attracted to her because of her long legs, but he did not expect that the person he saved was someone he could not shake off no matter what.
“You know her?”
Zhang Manhua asked. She had never heard Qu Xiujie mention that he was dating a girl or had a female friend. If she had not seen it for herself, she would not believe that he had such a beautiful female friend.
“Yes, it’s the model you guys talked about this afternoon.”
Qu Xiujie nodded and opened the car door beside him. “I’ll go down and see what she wants to do. You guys go in first.”
Zhang Manhua watched as Qu Xiujie got off the car but did not make Charlie drive the car into the garage. Instead, she sat in the car for a few minutes before letting Charlie drive into the garage.
“Madam, why do you want me to prepare the French steak now?”
The moment she entered the room, Zhang Manhua instructed Charlie to prepare dinner.
“Because that girl will stay here to eat.”
Zhang Manhua removed her gray shawl and continued, “You have to cook something delicious. This girl might be a picky eater.”
