Chapter 899: The Parents Meet
Quan Zexi’s heart trembled, “That was fast.”
Qiao Qing eyed the time on her wrist.w.a.tch and got up, “It’s about time. Let’s go.”
Quan Zexi reacted like his bottom was glued to the couch as he struggled to get up.
“Qingqing, about your mother… what kind of person is she?”
He’d forgotten all about his past. The sudden appearance of his daughter was something he just accepted, and now, out hops a person he used to lie beside. Anyone would be fl.u.s.tered by this.
Quan Zexi was definitely fl.u.s.tered. This was something his right-hand man, Zhao Sizhan, sensed.
The Duke has always acted like he owned the room. But now, the announcement of his wife arriving made him act like he was a rat who just ran into a cat.
“Look at how little guts you have!” Quan Yeqing got up, “Let’s go and greet my daughter-in-law.”
Without a way out, Quan Zexi unwillingly followed.
When the group arrived at the garden, He Wanqing and Qi Chengyu were just getting out of the plane.
The sight of Quan Zexi tore down all of He Wanqing’s defense mechanisms. Tears started to fall right away.
She headed straight towards Quan Zexi and grabbed his s.h.i.+rt, “You heartless man! Where have you been these past three years?! And You don’t who I am anymore… Wuu…..”
As she spoke, she could no longer stop herself from staying strong. She leaned into Quan Zexi’s chest and broke down.
Quan Zexi’s entire body straightened and he petrified like a wooden plank. His arms fell to his side as he was at loss for where to put them.
For some reason, the tears from this woman made him feel like his heart was being chopped by knives.
He seemed to vaguely recall that this woman was someone who loved to laugh.
As He Wanqing had her breakdown, Qi Chengyu raised an eyebrow and approached Qiao Qing. He checked her out from head to toe and asked, “Qingqing?”
Qiao Qing answered, “It’s me… yes…”
Qi Chengyu pulled her in for a hug the moment her voice confirmed her ident.i.ty, “I’ve missed you to death.”
Qi Yusen and Jun Yexuan walked over with their faces dark.
Qi Yusen’s tone was unwelcoming, “Why are you here?”
Qi Chengyu didn’t let go of Qiao Qing as he tried to provoke Qi Yusen, “You’re the only person who’s allowed to come here? You and this man over here have been more than possessive towards my little sister. Don’t be the greedy snake who tries to eat an entire elephant.”
Jun Yexuan, “…”
Qi Yusen challenged, “But your job…”
“Don’t you worry about my job,” Qi Chengyu said, “Just mind yourself.”
Qiao Qing was in a bit of pain from the hug and she frowned.
Jun Yexuan finally exploded, “Can’t you tell she’s in pain?! Let her go!!”
Qi Chengyu didn’t have the time to mind Jun Yexuan’s tone. He loosened his grip after seeing the look on Qiao Qing’s face, “Sorry, I got too excited.”
He pulled his luggage forward and said to Qiao Qing, “Here are all the gifts I brought you. Qingqing, do you want to see?”
Qiao Qing responded, “Thank you, fifth brother, I will check them out later. For now…”
She signaled to Quan Zexi and He Wanqing.
Qi Chengyu nodded and stood aside.
By the time He Wanqing calmed down, Quan Zexi’s s.h.i.+rt was soaked.
He Wanqing wiped the tears off her face and raised her head, “I will only ask you one question, do you really not recognize me and your daughter?”
Quan Zexi was overwhelmed by this direct question, “S… Sorry..”
