Chapter 124 - Camping {11}
"Qiao Xin you are awake?" asked Xuan Cheng. He rushed to Qiao Xin, carried Qiao Xin, and sat down so she could join them.
Qiao Xin, who had just left the tent, couldn't help but stare at Xuan Cheng's exaggerated expression. She then looked at Xiao Long, who seemed unconcerned with all that was happening. Xiao Long was annoyed, of course. But he didn't want to show it to Qiao Xin, not even Xuan Cheng, because Xiao Long felt that fighting with Xuan Cheng was not a good thing at all.
"How are you? Mei said you have a fever, is it cured?" Xuan Cheng asked again.
Qiao Xin gave a faint smile, then she nodded. Being treated like this by Xuan Cheng made her uncomfortable.
"Yes, I'm much better brother Cheng, thank you," replied Qiao Xin later. She was immediately taken aback when Xuan Cheng took her leg for inspection, something that made Xiao Long even more annoyed..
"Fortunately the injury has healed, tomorrow you will definitely be able to walk well again," added Xuan Cheng, showing his concern for Qiao Xin to make Qiao Xin touch, and realizing Xiao Long that the man was not suitable for Qiao Xin was a job that had to be done what Xuan Cheng did now. However, in his heart, Xiao Long kept cursing to kill Xuan Cheng right now.
"Sorry," Qiao Xin said, taking her leg and then covering it with her hands as if what Xuan Cheng did was inappropriate.
"Touching the feet of a married woman, and being considerate of a married woman. How disgusting, aren't you a man? But your attitude really doesn't respect Qiqi's husband at all," Xiao Long quipped.
Hearing this, Xuan Cheng seemed to chuckle, and then he looked at Xiao Long with a sly grin. What Xiao Long said made Xuan Cheng want to laugh half to death.
"Are you crazy?" Xuan Cheng said then, and Xiao Long seemed to ignore him. "I will respect a husband who is truly a husband, not a human who only acts as a husband but the reality is not," Xuan Cheng quipped.
Xiao Long immediately looked at Xuan Cheng with an annoyed look, and his black eyebrows now seemed to be knitted together. For some reason, Xiao Long felt that Xuan Cheng knew something between him and Qiao Xin, and that was why Xuan Cheng was behaving so boldly to him.
"Come on, why do you guys keep arguing? Come here, the food is ready, while it's still warm, let's eat," said Li Xuan later. He immediately sat beside Qiao Xin so that Xuan Cheng could not sit beside Qiao Xin. How not, this is for the best now, as long as Li Xuan doesn't have objective evidence of Xiao Long and Qiao Xin's relationship, then he will pretend like this and will immediately rebuke Xuan Cheng if it turns out that Qiao Xin and Xiao Long are real. Husband and wife. Because from what Li Xuan saw himself, it seemed that Xuan Cheng had learned something he didn't know at all.
"How is Sister Qiao Xin, is the food good?" Li Xuan asked excitedly. Qiao Xin immediately smiled broadly.
"Who cooked this? the food is really very delicious," said Qiao Xin later. It does not deny if this food is very delicious, never second to none,
"Who used to make the seasoning, me. Mr. Li! In fact, this is a secret spice that has been passed down from time to time by my grandmother," Li Xuan said with a proud expression on his face.
Qiao Xin seemed to want to ask Xiao Long, making Xiao Long nod as well. "His family owns a well-known family restaurant. We'll eat there sometime," Xiao Long said later.
"Oh yes? Is that true?" said Qiao Xin, who was amazed, now she looked at Li Xuan again with a sparkling look on her face. Yes, eating was something Qiao Xin liked. "I would love to eat at your place, Mr. Li. Must be fun!"
"Easy, next weekend how about we eat at my family's restaurant? I guarantee you will feel addicted to this."
Xuan Cheng, peeling the clam in the bowl, put it in Qiao Xin's bowl.
"These shells are the most delicious, I got them in the river, fresh water shells are very unique and hard to get. Eat it while it's warm," he said later.
Qiao Xin seemed to be silent, then Xiao Long took the clam from Qiao Xin's bowl and ate it, making Xuan Cheng feel very annoyed.
"What are you doing? if you want, you can take it yourself!" angry Xuan Cheng.
"Didn't I tell you that Qiqi is allergic to seafood?"
"But these are freshwater clams,"
"You're both shellfish, what's the difference?"
"You …."
"That's enough!" Li Xuan snapped again, Xuan Cheng and Xiao Long snorted at each other, then both turned their faces away. "Can you two stop arguing? Would you argue everything would be great? I really don't understand what you're doing at all!" annoyed Li Xuan then.
Xiao Long immediately took some food there, then he immediately rushed off, didn't say anything else, walked behind the tent, then disappeared.
Meanwhile, the seemingly unconcerned Xuan Cheng immediately took the opportunity, sitting in Xiao Long's place so that he could sit next to Qiao Xin perfectly.
Qiao Xin could only look at Xiao Long, who disappeared into the darkness with the corner of her eye, then she seemed to let out a long sigh, a thing that was beyond bounds, indeed. Yet Qiao Xin also couldn't catch up to Xiao Long in this state.
"Qiao Xin, eat it, I've already peeled it again for you,"
"Sorry brother Cheng, it's not that I refuse, it's just that I'm allergic to seafood. I don't like freshwater clams like this either. so I'm sorry," said Qiao Xin then. She immediately took the freshly cooked fish and then ate it together with Mei and Tao.
"How did Xiao Long know that you are allergic to seafood?" Li Xuan investigated. Qiao Xin immediately held her breath.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Li. Don't take it to heart," Qiao Xin replied casually. Hearing this, Li Xuan became even more suspicious. How could it be that what Qiao Xin and Xiao Long were doing was very suspicious?
That night became a night full of noise until finally, Qiao Xin decided to enjoy the gorgeous stars and moon in the sky together with Mei.
"Qiao Xin, will Mr. Han be okay?" asked Mei later, the two of them putting on each other's blankets, looking up to make them seem to feel that there is no more beautiful place than here. "You know I feel that Mr. Xuan already knows something,"
"You mean?" Qiao Xin then asked.
"Yeah, have you not noticed how Mr. Xuan is being so cynical about Mr. Han, trying to distance you from Mr. Han and acting like Mr. Han doesn't deserve you at all? that's how I feel when we're here. He always seemed to seek attention in an exaggerated manner, then interrupted whatever Mr. Han was doing. I know that Mr. Xuan is a good person. it's just that I feel that he is too much and very suspicious. Or maybe he knows that you and Mr. Han are married, and your marriage is only a contract marriage? That's why Mr. Xuan is acting like that."
Hearing this, Qiao Xin seemed to be silent. What Mei said appears to be true too. But how did Xuan Cheng know that she and Xiao Long were husband and wife, and their marriage was merely a contract marriage? All things were confusing.
"I don't know, Mei. I really don't know what to do, I want to calm my heart, what is clear whether it's Xiao Long or brother Cheng are both men who should not be approached. They are princes, rich young masters, I'm just an ordinary woman, from a poor family who doesn't deserve anything."
"So in your heart, you have been expecting something?" tease Mei. Qiao Xin immediately turned her head, her face turning bright red at her best friend's question.
"No, of course not."
"That's not wrong, right?" said Mei later. "I know that secretly for some time the name Mr. Han has been tucked into your heart perfectly. If not, why are you worried when he's not around? You started looking for him so terrified it was as if he would disappear forever, nor did you limit yourself differently when you were with Mr. Xuan. Even when you're at your worst, you rely on Mr. Han like he's a backrest you've become so used to, that looks really cute, Qiao Xin. So I guess instead of you continuing to go against what your heart wants, can't you just start accepting everything? And living this marriage like flowing water?"
"But-"
"I know that your marriage to Mr. Han is a contract marriage. But the marriage will continue to be valid as long as Grand Mr. Han is alive right? and now what do you see? Grand Mr. Han is healthy now, it's a miracle to see his condition getting better from time to time, it's already a sign of God, Qiao Xin. If your marriage to Mr. Han is destined to be more than just a contract marriage, it will become a real marriage. then what's the harm if possible, maybe someday you and Mr. Han will divorce when Grand Mr. Han dies? All serious marriages also go through that phase, right? all marriages are equal, Qiao Xin. Even in the eyes of God, your marriage to Mr. Han is legal, so who else do you want to deceive with all of this?"
