Chapter 27 - Don"t Scare Him
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the arrival of Xing Jiuan"s name, the meaning behind it was very good. He did not reject this name.
"Okay." Xing Jiuan nodded as if she did not fully understand. She did not ask who had given her this name either.
However, the name on her household register was still Xing Se.
However, it had been Xing Jiuan all these years. She had almost forgotten her original name.
"Go and play. Come home early and be careful on the road," Mu Qing patiently told her. "Why don"t you call me when the time comes and I"ll pick you up?"
"I"ll be fine by myself." Xing Jiuan smiled, turned around, and walked toward Qin Ge.
Mu Qing shook his head helplessly.
"Jiuan, how about we go for a drink?" Qin Ge asked while walking with her.
"I"ll go with you, but I don"t feel like drinking," Xing Jiuan replied slowly.
In the later part of her previous life, she loved to drink and pa.s.sed out from gastric pains time and time again. When she woke up, she was still facing the darkness alone.
It was terrifying.
"Boss, I"m leaving first. See you next time," Bai Jing said as he drove past the two of them.
Xing Jiuan waved back.
Bai Jing then drove away.
"It"s meaningless if I"m drinking alone. Let"s find a dessert shop instead. I"ll treat you. When you go back, bring a bag of them back. Just set aside what Mu Qing bought and eat what I bought."
Her words were domineering.
Xing Jiuan could not help but laugh. "Why don"t we go to the supermarket to take a look? I want to buy some things anyway."
"Sure." When Xing Jiuan came, someone had sent her here. So naturally, she would leave in Qin Ge"s car.
Qin Ge did not stop talking along the way, as if she had countless things to say to Xing Jiuan.
Xing Jiuan relaxed her body and leaned against the seat, listening very seriously to Qin Ge talking to her. From time to time, she would respond with a few words.
"Jiuan, has Mu Qing been treating you badly recently?"
Xing Jiuan was taken aback. "Why do you say that?"
"I just feel that… your att.i.tude towards him is a little weird. Has he been bad to you?"
"No, how is it strange? I"m just being obedient."
"Why should you be obedient?" Qin Ge seemed to be puzzled. "Were you not behaving well before?"
Xing Jiuan neither agreed nor disagreed.
She knew very well that in her previous life, the main reason why her relations.h.i.+p with Senior Brother and so many other people broke down was because she had returned to the Huo family, lowly and irrational.
Moreover, the one who wanted her to be obedient was the Huo family.
Mu Qing and the others had never wanted Xing Jiuan to be obedient.
But she would also wonder if more people would like obedient children better.
Would it be better if she was more obedient?
"…I don"t know either."
"Then listen to me. You don"t have to be obedient…" Qin Ge stopped the car and waited for the red light. "It used to be fine in the past, but now it"s like you"re not even Xing Jiuan anymore."
"Is that so?" Xing Jiuan turned her head with a puzzled look.
"You"re almost scaring Mu Qing silly with the way you are now. Can"t you tell?" Qin Ge smiled. "Baby, he"s old. Don"t scare him."
The green light was back on. Qin Ge started the car and was still talking. "How long have you been like this? It didn"t start today, right? Otherwise, Mu Qing wouldn"t have been so calm."
Qin Ge still knew Mu Qing quite well. On the day Xing Jiuan was reborn, Mu Qing found out that Xing Jiuan had become like this after meeting her.. Mu Qing was so worried that he didn"t sleep the whole night, and he didn"t dare to ask her what was wrong.
