My Identities Were All Exposed After I Was Pampered by Everyone at My Grandfather's House!-Chapter 48 - Gender Revealed?

Since their eyes met, Qiao Yue couldn’t pretend that she didn’t see Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing’s thin lips opened and closed as he mouthed the words “come up” to Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue sighed in resignation because she was in the wrong.

This time, Qiao Yue didn’t go to the study but went straight to Qiao Jing’s bedroom.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Qiao Jing sitting on the single seat sofa waiting for her.

“Second brother,” Qiao Yue called out in a low voice.

Qiao Jing’s face was still gloomy; anyone who had been misunderstood would not be in a good mood. But his anger subsided a little when he heard Qiao Yue’s low and gentle voice.

Qiao Jing asked Qiao Yue to sit across from him as his dark eyes stared at the young man who lowered his head to avoid eye contact.

“Admit your mistake now?” Qiao Jing asked calmly.

Qiao Yue pouted with her head lowered so Qiao Jing couldn’t see her expression. She muttered under her breath, “It’s all because of what you said that I misunderstood, thinking that you only cared about the Qiao family and not me. ”

It wasn’t that Qiao Yue was unreasonable, but that a person who had been favored would want to hold on tightly to that favoritism.

Since Qiao Yue came to the Qiao residence, Qiao Jing had favored her without reason and that made Qiao Yue want to see him as a brother.

Although Qiao Yue was mumbling to herself, there were only the two of them in the room. Also, Qiao Jing was always attentive towards her, so how could he not hear what she said? Qiao Jing was annoyed yet amused.

Even if Qiao Jing didn’t like the infighting within the Qiao family, he was still a member of the Qiao family. Was it wrong for him to care about the Qiao family? What was strange for him was that he cared so much about this younger brother who had just returned home.

When Qiao Yue left after their argument, he even thought about sending Qiao Yue back to the mountain village or moving out himself. Because he realized that Qiao Yue’s actions stir up his emotions, which was not a good thing for him.

As for the reason Qiao Jing gave up on the idea, it was because of the way Qiao Yue looked at him just now.

The young man was standing between the starry sky and the grass. His eyes were bright, and his wind-blown white shirt revealed a slender figure.

Qiao Jing suddenly recalled the scene of his mother and third aunt scolding Qiao Yue.

“Second brother, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made you worry.”

Now that things had come to this, Qiao Yue admitting her mistake showed that she’s flexible. Since she learned the truth, she was willing to admit her mistake.

Qiao Yue looked up as she was apologizing, and her eyes met Qiao Jing’s focused gaze.

Qiao Jing was stunned for a moment. He turned his head uncomfortably and coughed.

Although Qiao Yue didn’t feel anything, in Qiao Jing’s eyes, her guilty and aggrieved eyes were like those of a puppy afraid of being abandoned by its owner. This made Qiao Jing want to pat her head.

Qiao Yue’s sudden apology made Qiao Jing forget what he wanted to say, so he could only say dryly, “It’s good that you know you’re wrong.”

The two of them were speechless for a moment, and the room fell into a dead silence.

“Are your injuries serious?” Qiao Jing asked suddenly with a frown.

“Take off your shirt. Let me see your wound.” Qiao Jing said as he got up and walked over to Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue’s forehead twitched as she subconsciously grabbed her collar, looking like a little girl who was about to be molested. Qiao Jing frowned at the sight.

“S-second brother, it’s fine. My injuries aren’t serious, and I can manage by myself.”

Qiao Jing’s frown deepened. “We’re both men,” he replied coldly. “There’s no need to be shy.”

Man, my ass! Qiao Yue cursed madly in her heart. She didn’t want to reveal her gender so early.

The reason Qiao Jing thought that Qiao Yue was a man was because of a DNA test report that Qiao Yue had tempered with before she returned to the Qiao family.

As she had anticipated that the Qiao family would suspect her identity when she came back, she had sent people to watch the Qiao family. When Qiao Jing’s assistant called the hospital for a DNA test, she had asked Zhou Lan to change her gender to male on the report and with that, she managed to deceive Qiao Jing. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

She had made so many pre-arrangements, there’s no way she would expose herself over such a small matter!

Just as Qiao Jing was about to touch her neck, Qiao Yue suddenly stood up, causing a confused look on Qiao Jing’s face.

“Brother, I’m not used to letting people see my body. I’ll take care of the wound myself. It’s getting late. Second brother, you should rest early. Good night.”

With that, Qiao Yue wriggled away like a slippery eel. She walked to the door, opened it, left, and closed the door, all in one breath. Before Qiao Jing could react, Qiao Yue had already disappeared.
