Jun Xiaoqi froze up, "Aren't you scared of it?"
Qiao Qing didn't answer and walked straight up to Qingqing.
At first, Qingqing was defensive but as Qiao Qing approached, the defensiveness left its body. For some reason, it just knew that this incomer was not easy to deal with and so it went to hide behind the butler.
Jun Xiaoqi and the butler exchanged glances. Both of them were in shock.
Qiao Qing had one hand in her pocket and with her other hand, she touched the tiger's head. Then, she leaned in and whispered something in its ear.
Right then, this scaredy-cat reacted as if it had finally found its owner! Gently, it rubbed itself against her legs and wagged its tail. Its face was full of affection and obedience.
Based on what Jun Xiaoqi and the butler knew about Qingqing, they knew it was truly being docile, and not just momentarily being oppressed. The shock value they felt increased.
The butler, Wang Qing, asked, "Miss, you learned how to tame wild animals before?"
Jun Xiaoqi walked closer as well, "Sister, you're a beast! After Qingqing arrived, it took my third brother a week to tame it!"
Qiao Qing simply said, "I only know surface-level things."
She then stood up straight and changed the subject, "Are we eating or not?"
"Ah, yes!" Jun Xiaoqi didn't dare to linger around this topic in case Qiao Qing runs away. He looked over to Wang Qing, "Uncle Wang, ask the maids to lay out the food!"
After that, no matter where Qiao Qing went, Qingqing followed like a giant puppy following its master. The way it behaved left Jun Qiaoqi in utter astonishment.
At the dinner table, Qingqing laid down by Qiao Qing's feet.
Its tail would occasionally wag, curl around Qiao Qing's ankles, and then uncurl. Rinse and repeat.
...
On the way home, Jun Yexuan's eyelid twitched non-stop.
After he got home, he looked for Qiao Qing right away. However, even though he searched the house inside and out, he failed to find her.
He was about to ask when he spotted Qi Yusen asking the maids to bring out dinner.
Jun Yexuan grabbed onto Qi Yusen's arm, "Where's Qingqing? We are eating without her?"
Qi Yusen fought his hand away as if it was gross, "Qingqing's not eating at home tonight."
Jun Yexuan was surprised to hear this, "Where is she?"
Qi Yusen was confused by his question, "She didn't tell you?"
Jun Yexuan, "..."
Why did it feel like his wife had ditched him?
Qi Yuyang saw how innocent Jun Yexuan looked and started tossing cushions around out of happiness, "Looks like my sister changed her mind! Someone's about to become an ex-boyfriend!"
Jun Yexuan suppressed the sourness in him, glared at Qi Yuyang, then asked Qi Yusen, "Brother, where is she right now?"
Qi Yusen answered, "She said she's eating with Qi Xiaoqi. I thought you knew."
"What?!" Without another word, Jun Yexuan left in his car. He didn't even get time to call up his driver.
"Why is he acting as if he had stepped on a mine?" Qi Yuyang was surprised to find Jun Yexuan react like that.
He thought of something, then quickly lowered his voice, "Could it be that he hid a woman in his house?!"
"No way." Qi Yusen said, "If that's the case, based on what we know about Qingqing, she would leave him. If that happens, then our sister would be ours only."
Qi Yusen then nodded to himself, "Ok, let's eat."
Qi Yuyang, "..."
Uncle Ning, "..."
Qi Yunyan who just left the room, "..."
"That's for the best then. I've wanted my sister to dump his @ss for a long time now!" Qi Yuyang was silent for a while but then decided that this would be a good thing.
He threw another cushion onto the couch and shouted, "Let's eat! Maybe we'll get some good news from our sister after we eat!"
