My little uncle and Qu Hao looked at Jing Tian with furrowed brows.
Jing Tian was displeased. âWhat?â
Qu Hao felt his teeth ache. âTsk! Since youâve decided to hit her, then you should have hit her harder. Theyâre going to ask you for compensation anyway, so why hold back?â
My little uncle echoed. âThatâs right. Itâs not the first time she has bullied Nanxing. Weâre already very dissatisfied that you only took revenge for Nanxing now. And you hit her so lightly? Iâm not pleased.â Jing Tian smiled helplessly. âCan you two be more shameless?â
The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
Jing Niâs body was still a little weak, and her face didnât have much color. She looked at me worriedly. âNanxing, Iâm afraid Angel will target you in the future. You also need to be careful of Lu Yan.â
Before I could say anything, Mai Qi said lazily, âDonât worry. Jing Tian is watching her closely. Instead, you should give your seventh uncle some advice.â She glanced at Jing Tian. âNanxing is mine is basically written on his face. Everyone can see it. But, there are people who are blind. This has earned Nanxing the ire of the young ladies on the island. After all, they all thought Nanxing stole your seventh uncle from them. In the future, Su Qian and Su Shen better go everywhere with Nanxing. Jing Ni and I are not good enough to protect her.â
I kicked her. âStop joking!â Mai Qi dodged and smiled. âYouâve been forcing dog food down our throat every day. Thankfully, both of us are already taken, so it doesnât affect us that much.â
I couldnât help but feel helpless. âLittle aunt, I admit defeat when it comes to shamelessness!â
Mai Qi pounced on me and rubbed my face.
The men shook their heads and got up to leave. They couldnât stand our unreasonable actions.
After they left, the three of us gradually stopped laughing. We looked in the direction they had left. Mai Qi said, âGuess what have they gone to do.â
Jing Ni sighed, âIs there a need to guess? They must have gone to make preparations and discuss countermeasures.â
Mai Qi patted Jing Ni. âThatâs a given, but why couldnât they discuss that in front of us?â
This put Jing Ni in a dilemma. She thought for a moment and said, âItâs too bloody, and they donât want us to know?â
Mai Qi held her chin, and she sighed. âI think this is still a thorn in Tong Leâs heart. Family is very important to him. For so many years, he has always missed his brothers and sisters. He has also made a revenge for the Tong family the number one goal of his life. Now, the target of his revenge is his own brother. How devastating that is. I havenât seen him smile in a long time already. He often sits there in a daze, and I donât dare to disturb him.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jing Ni fell silent.
I patted Mai Qiâs shoulders. âLittle uncle knows the gauge of things. Donât worry.â
There were faint tears in Mai Qiâs eyes. âThat is the reason why Iâm worried. Nanxingâ¦â
I nodded, reached out to hug her, and patted her shoulder. âBelieve me, I understand. I know the complication heâs facing. I wonât let them have a direct conflict. I wonât let him face any more regrets.â
Mai Qi hugged me. âNanxing, Iâm sorry. I donât want to dump this on you. But I just⦠my heart pains for him.â
I comforted her. âI understand, I know. Thereâs no need for us to be so formal. Mai Qi, Iâm touched that you care about him that much. My parents will be so happy to know that my little uncle has found someone who loves him that much. Youâre a blessing in his life.â
