Chapter 729 - He Didn’t Need To Look At The Young Master’s Face To Know How Awkward This Must Be For Him
She was a little embarra.s.sed now. Even though she didn"t think too much of it when she made the promise.
"But brother…" Qiao Qing forced herself to speak, "I have already agreed to it. And I think he is worth it."
Qi Yusen"s lips pursed into a line, "He didn"t even consider your age when he started asking for you. That alone shows he is not worth it! As I said, it"s not good for your health!"
Qiao Qing instantly shushed.
Qi Yusen then pulled Qiao Qing into a hug, "Sorry. I was too agitated. I said all this because I"m thinking of you."
"You"re just so much better than him. If he dares to treat you poorly, I would never allow him to be with you."
"All those things he did for you… any man could do those if he loves you. I"m certain that any man with the right background can treat you just as well!"
"I"m not close-minded. But I don"t think it"s time for you yet. At least we should find my uncle and wait for his approval. You should wait until there is nothing that could stop you. Wait until you are married."
"Have you forgotten how that old woman treated you? His father"s side of the family is already so hard to deal with. What do you even know about his mother"s side?"
"You two are already together yet he cannot even control his own urges. He cannot even wait two more years and wait until marriage. What right does he have to ask for my most treasured sister if that"s the kind of person he is?!"
Qiao Qing was silent for a long time after Qi Yusen spoke. After a while, she hugged him back, "Sorry. I made you worry. Then, I will wait until I am married."
Afar from them, Jun Yexuan sneezed inside the Leng Corporation building. Right now, he wasn"t aware that because of his brother-in-law, the meat that was about to reach his lips was gone.
Back over here, Qi Yusen sighed in relief and patted her head, "Let"s go find some herbs."
Qiao Qing nodded, "Alright."
Maybe it was because of the time limitation, but Qiao Qing started to walk really fast.
As she walked, her eyes brightened, "It really does exist!"
Without turning her head, she gestured for the subordinate behind them to come, "Shovel!"
The man who carried the basket gave her the shovel without a word.
Qiao Qing was about to squat down when she suddenly snapped her head around to stare into the man"s eyes, "Aren"t you deaf and mute?"
Qi Yusen, "..."
The subordinate who carried the basket, "..."
Qi Yusen glared at him. His message was obvious - it was time for this guy to show off his acting skills.
The subordinate received the message and started to gesture with his hands.
He also mumbled and made incoherent sounds that normal mute people tend to make.
Qi Yusen jumped in to translate, "He"s saying, you looked like you discovered something and you extended your hand out to him, so he was sure you were asking for a shovel."
Qiao Qing then asked, "Brother, you know sign language?"
Qi Yusen, "Because I have him as a subordinate, I had to learn."
Qiao Qing"s expression was difficult to explain. After a moment of silence, she said, "Honestly, I know sign language too."
"So I know those gestures meant nothing. They definitely don"t mean what you said."
Qi Yusen, "..."
The subordinate wanted to laugh but didn"t dare. He didn"t need to look at the young master"s face to know how awkward this must be for him.
After an eerie moment of silence, Qi Yusen patted Qiao Qing"s head, "I discovered another one of your skills. Qingqing is so great."
Qiao Qing, "..."
Qi Yusen took over the shovel and stared at the patch of gra.s.s on the ground, "You want this thing? I"ll dig it out for you."
