After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 828 - 818: Terrified!

Even though the childhood engagement wasn’t officially set, it was always thought to be between these families and Du Ming, as Old Sir Qin had reminded him many times. But after Uncle Ji brought back Ji Qiutang, everyone gradually forgot about it.

But... thinking about the possibility of his own Jiu becoming a member of the Ji Family and the fact that Ji Qiutang was involved made Qin Zhan frown deeply in displeasure!

"By the way, I heard that Xu Yushi was Ji Qiutang’s former fiancée, and they called off the engagement later," Bi Xia suddenly said.

Fiancée?

Qin Zhan thought for a moment, and his expression darkened, "Are you talking about Xu Yushi from the Xu Family?"

Bi Xia recalled what Xu Yushi had said before and nodded, "Seems like it." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Then I know who it is," Qin Zhan said lightly, a flash of disgust and ruthlessness in his eyes.

Just as he was about to speak, his ears twitched abruptly, and he remained silent. With a wave of his hand, Bi Xia only heard a click as the lock on the door opened.

Qin Zhan got up from the bed, gently tucking the blanket around Bi Xia. At this moment, footsteps reached Bi Xia’s ears, followed by a knock on the door.

"Fourth Brother, I’m coming in."

The door was slowly pushed open. Wei Ming came in carrying a tray, followed by Ji Qiutang with a cup of water.

Seeing Bi Xia awake and staring at them, both of them were initially stunned, then their eyes lit up with surprise. Wei Ming was especially enthusiastic; he brought the tray straight to Bi Xia’s side, ignoring the usually intimidating Qin Zhan, and began inquiring about Bi Xia with concern.

"Little Nine, when did you wake up? Are you feeling better? You gave us quite a scare when you suddenly fainted."

"Right, how are you feeling now? Wen Jing said although your spiritual power was running dry at the time, now it’s back to normal. You must have had a breakthrough at a critical moment, turning misfortune into a blessing."

"Are you hungry? The butler made porridge; would you like some? Should I heat it up for you?"

"Oh dear! I completely forgot; you’ve been unconscious for so long, you must be thirsty—do you want some water?"

Listening to Wei Ming’s barrage of concern, Qin Zhan’s face grew darker and darker. This guy! Is he over-concerned or what!

"Wei Ming."

"Oh, don’t interrupt me; I’m taking care of my brother!" Wei Ming pushed away the person calling him from behind.

Ji Qiutang, observing Qin Zhan’s darkened expression and Wei Ming’s "I’m the brother, I must care for my sibling" demeanor, couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. After being pushed aside by Wei Ming, he simply stood aside, handing water to Bi Xia, and watched the scene with a smile.

Unexpectedly, getting to see the cold-faced grim reaper make such an expression, Ji Qiutang thought he’d certainly gotten his money’s worth over the years.

"I’m fine," Bi Xia saw Qin Zhan’s expression too and smiled helplessly, rubbing her head, "Just a bit of a headache, could you keep it down."

"Oh, oh, oh, oh!!" Wei Ming quickly shut up, just about to hand the porridge to Bi Xia, when he noticed Bi Xia motioning to him behind his back.

Wei Ming, puzzled, cocked his head and was about to turn around when he suddenly felt the familiar gaze he’d been consciously avoiding... He swallowed, stood up with impressive composure, then turned and handed the bowl of porridge to Qin Zhan, "Fourth Brother, the important task of feeding Little Nine porridge is up to you!"

Bi Xia: ... Where’s your dignity?!

Ji Qiutang chuckled softly, as expected, still as timid as ever in front of A Zhan.

Watching the scene of Qin Zhan feeding Bi Xia spoonful after spoonful, Ji Qiutang smiled and said to Bi Xia, "How do you feel?"

Bi Xia nodded in between, "Not bad, just..."

Sitting up straight, looking at Ji Qiutang, she teased, "Your ex-fiancée, really a vicious one, huh."

Thinking of Xu Yushi, who had caused her current state, Bi Xia’s eyes darkened, a sharp glint flashing, a harmless smile playing on her red lips. Someday, she would personally go to Beijing to settle this score!
