Chapter 761 - I was Sad and Needed Alcohol to Feel Better

“Brother, why did you come knocking so early? You’re waking up those who are sound asleep.”

Qi Yusen ignored him and scanned around the room, “I went to Qingqing’s room just now. I knocked but nobody answered.”

Jun Yexuan was a world-class actor after all. His face tensed up instantly, “She’s not in her room?! Then where did she go?!”

He was about to dash out of his room when Qi Yusen continued, “I think she’d be back by now.”

Jun Yexuan, “…”

Couldn’t he just say what he thought?

Qi Yusen marched into his room and circled around the bed. His gaze rested on the bowl of soup, “What is that?”

Jun Yexuan silently cursed before he walked over and responded in a serious tone, “Brother, I drank that.”

Qi Yusen glared at him, “You drank last night?”

Jun Yexuan continued to respect his role, “You stopped me from the possibility of eating meat. I was sad and needed alcohol to feel better. Is that not allowed?”

Qi Yusen hissed, “I’ll admit that you did well this time.”

Then he left.

Jun Yexuan, “…”

His brother-in-law was a fox.

Shortly after Qiao Qing returned to her room, someone knocked.

When she opened and found Qi Yusen outside, she lowered her head in shame.

“Brother? Why are you here? What do you need?”

Qu Yusen walked in and shut the door behind him. He sighed and then lectured with a heavy heart, “Qingqing, do you think I am trying to control you too much?”

Qiao Qing’s heart skipped another beat, “No, I know you want the best for me.”

“But to you, what I’m doing is troublesome, isn’t it?” Qi Yusen said to Qiao Qing, “If Qingqing really wants to…”

“Brother,” Qiao Qing interrupted, “What happened last night won’t happen again.”

Qi Yusen patted her head, “I’m just worried about your future. What grandpa said about saving yourself until 30 is a little much. But if you two are able to work through everything and get rid of all the obstacles, you can choose to marry early.”

“That way, nobody can interfere. I promise you that.”

“But until you get married, don’t… I mean… it’s not just me. Our grandma and grandpa, who are very traditional, would break his legs.”

“I am the only person who’s around you two right now. If I don’t do my job well, I suspect my legs will end up broken too.”

“When that happened, it’ll be hard for you two to marry.”

Qiao Qing blinked and nodded, “I know.”

“Good girl.” Qi Yusen patted her head, “Go wash up. We’ll go downstairs to eat soon.”

Qiao Qing, “Yes.”

After Qi Yusen’s lecture, he opened the door and a bright red fox snuck into the room.

“Ack, ack, ack!”

Good morning, young master!

This fox greets Qiao Qing every morning. Nobody found this strange anymore.

Qi Yusen didn’t stay behind and left the room.

Qiao Qing rubbed the fox’s head as her way of saying hello. She then went to wash up.

After she changed, she opened the door to go downstairs and eat. However, she found the fox to be resting on the windowpane and didn’t follow her.

She asked curiously, “You’re not coming down to eat with us?”

The little fox lifted its paddy claw and pointed at its round belly.

“Ack, ack, ack!”

I’m too fat. I need to diet.

Qiao Qing giggled and comforted, “You can’t diet by not eating altogether. You just can’t get greedy. Eat until you’re 60% full. Come down, I’ll help you portion control.”
