The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 494 - 458

Qiao Family

The man in black was caught. Qiao Yuxian didn’t ask anything and directly had him taken away.

The family returned to the living room.

Chen Hui held Qiao Zhiang’s small hand, her face still not recovered. After a while, she asked, "Who could it be?"

No one spoke.

Qiao Yuxian looked at Chen Hui.

Gu Yanjing held Qiao Yuxian’s hand.

Qiao Lech sat aside, lowering her head, fiddling with her fingertips.

Qiao Zhiang sat next to Chen Hui, his big eyes blinking as he looked at everyone.

Qiao Yu said, "The person was taken away. We’ll know soon who sent him."

Qiao Yuxian looked at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu said, "There’s someone secretly protecting us at home, so be careful when going out in the future."

"There’s no problem at Zhiang’s school," Gu Yanjing said.

The current school of Qiao Zhiang was contacted by Gu Yanjing, who had also informed the teachers and principal. The school’s security was good, so there was peace of mind on that front.

"Does that mean we need someone to follow us whenever we go out?" Chen Hui looked at Qiao Yu and asked.

"Yes," Qiao Yu said, "Safety first."

Chen Hui said nothing further.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Let’s hire a few drivers. Have them follow closely for protection when going out, and have some follow at a distance."

Chen Hui looked at Qiao Yuxian.

"I’ll make the arrangements," Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian squeezed his hand and said, "I’ll arrange it."

Gu Yanjing looked at her, paused, and said, "Okay."

Qiao Yu didn’t say anything and agreed with their arrangement.

After that, the room fell silent again. Qiao Zhiang looked at everyone, then asked, "Why would someone come to our house? Are they after something?"

Everyone looked at Qiao Zhiang.

With a puzzled look, Qiao Zhiang’s young face asked, "If they want something, can’t we just give it to them so they won’t come back?"

Qiao Yuxian looked at him and was about to speak when Chen Hui said, "Would you give money to someone who asks for it for no reason?"

Qiao Zhiang immediately fell silent, gazing at Chen Hui.

Chen Hui also looked at him and said, "Even if you give it to him, can you guarantee he won’t ask again in the future?"

Qiao Zhiang looked at Chen Hui, thought for a moment, then furrowed his small brows and replied with a fierce look, "No, I can’t give it to him!"

Everyone watched his fierce little expression.

Chen Hui patted his head and asked, "Then what should you do?"

"Get rid of him," Qiao Zhiang continued fiercely, "Solve the root issue so he won’t dare to come back."

Hearing his words, the corner of Qiao Yu’s mouth barely lifted into a smile.

Qiao Yuxian also smiled a bit.

Chen Hui pinched his little cheek.

"Mom, don’t be afraid," Qiao Zhiang said with extraordinary determination in his eyes, "With brother-in-law here, we have nothing to fear."

"Yes," Chen Hui said, "Nothing to fear."

Qiao Yuxian looked at Gu Yanjing and whispered softly, "Brother-in-law is really amazing."

Gu Yanjing pinched her fingertips.

Then, they chatted for a little while longer.

They reiterated how careful they should be when going out in the future, stressing the importance of not being careless.

It was nearly ten o’clock when everyone finally went back to their rooms.

Gu Yanjing looked around in Qiao Yuxian’s room.

The room was thoughtfully decorated, not entirely in Qiao Yuxian’s preferred style, but it was evident that much thought had been put into it.

Qiao Yuxian hung the clothes Gu Yanjing had brought into the wardrobe.

Gu Yanjing took a look around the room, standing by the wardrobe, hanging clothes with her.

There weren’t many clothes in the wardrobe, showing that Qiao Yuxian hadn’t stayed here often.

Qiao Yuxian said, "When I first came to Capital City for school, I only stayed occasionally, went back to Yue City for winter and summer breaks. Later, I took two years off, and after returning, I mostly stayed in the dormitory, sometimes at West Mountain Manor. I haven’t spent much time here."

"Where did you go during those two years off?" Gu Yanjing asked.

Once the clothes were hung, Qiao Yuxian went to grab Gu Yanjing’s toiletries and took them to the bathroom.

Gu Yanjing followed her.

Qiao Yuxian said, "I wandered around various continents. Got into quite a few fights. Took on some tasks, helped others in need, participated in some competitions. Life was pretty colorful."

Gu Yanjing didn’t speak.

Once the toiletries were placed, Qiao Yuxian turned to look at Gu Yanjing and smiled, "Feeling sorry for me?"

Gu Yanjing lowered his eyes to look into her clear eyes.

Qiao Yuxian had a very pure heart.

No matter what she experienced, that heart always remained clear and pure.

Gu Yanjing lowered his head and kissed her eye.

Qiao Yuxian slightly closed her eyes, then looked at him and said, "Don’t feel bad. Everyone has their own journey. And through those two years, I’ve become stronger."

"Did you not want to come here before because you were afraid of causing trouble for them?" Gu Yanjing asked.

The smile on Qiao Yuxian’s face faded a little. After a few seconds, she said, "Not entirely. I really couldn’t integrate at that time. I always felt like they were fine as a family of four, and my presence would be extra. I felt uneasy, and they would always be careful of my feelings."

Gu Yanjing pulled her closer by the waist, holding her.

Leaning against him, Qiao Yuxian said, "My dad...my dad is so reserved. He doesn’t express his feelings. I always worry that my presence will affect his relationship with Aunt Chen Hui. Also, when I was in Yue City, my big aunt used to call me a burden, a jinx, saying I brought misfortune to my father. So I didn’t dare to get too close to him."

"Believing anything they say," Gu Yanjing said, patting her on the head.

"I was young then," Qiao Yuxian laughed a little, then added, "But, yes, I was worried about causing them trouble."

"You won’t," Gu Yanjing promised, "Nothing will happen to them."

Qiao Yuxian softly replied, "I always knew Aunt Chen Hui was nice. Lechu and Zhiang were well-educated, really treating me like an older sister. But at first, I was very stern and talked little, so they were a bit afraid of me."

Living here was indeed beyond her expectations.

She frequented more often here after Qiao Lechu’s accident.

So she saw Qiao Yu and Chen Hui more often.

As they interacted more, she found herself increasingly immersed in this family.

Immersed in the love from Qiao Yu, Chen Hui, Qiao Lechu, and Qiao Zhiang.

Gradually, she let herself sink into it, and once she was in, she didn’t want to leave.

"Do whatever you want to do, without too many worries," Gu Yanjing said calmly.

Qiao Yuxian nodded and said, "I know. I have a husband. My husband can help me solve everything."

Gu Yanjing kissed her on the top of her head.

Qiao Yuxian looked up at him and said, "I’ll shower first. Once I’m done, it’s your turn."

Gu Yanjing looked into her eyes without moving.

Qiao Yuxian, looking at his calm eyes, squinted hers and said, "Mr. Gu, what do you mean? You want to shower with me?"

Gu Yanjing didn’t say anything, seemingly agreeing by default.

Qiao Yuxian raised her eyebrows, smiling like a cunning little fox: "Showering together is fine, but are you sure you can hold back? The soundproofing here isn’t very good, you know."

Gu Yanjing looked at her, then bent to kiss her lips. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Qiao Yuxian leaned back, placing her hands on his mouth, looking at him and saying, "No way!"

Gu Yanjing kept looking at her.

Qiao Yuxian shook her head firmly.

Gu Yanjing held her hand, kissed her palm, and then left the bathroom...
