The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 608 - 572: Apology

"You said you were injured, so of course I came." Qiao Yuxian said.

"Why?" Yan Ting asked.

Qiao Yuxian suddenly went silent, stopped speaking, and turned around to continue tidying up the coffee table.

Yan Ting continued watching her back.

After a while, he stood up.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

Yan Ting went to the fridge, grabbed a bottle of milk, and placed it on the coffee table.

Then he pulled out a handful of candy from his pocket and tossed it onto the coffee table.

Qiao Yuxian looked at his torn clothes, resembling a beggar who had just gone begging on the street, got nothing, and took a beating.

She picked up the milk, unscrewed it, glanced at the candy on the table and said, "It’s almost midnight."

"So what?" Yan Ting sat on the sofa in his tattered clothes.

"Eating at night causes cavities." Qiao Yuxian said, but still took a candy, peeled it, and popped it into her mouth, "You said it."

"Are you still a child?" Yan Ting said.

Qiao Yuxian turned her head and glared at him, "Adults get cavities too."

"Yeah. Brush your teeth after eating." Yan Ting said.

Qiao Yuxian said nothing.

Yan Ting also said nothing more, just watched her.

When Qiao Yuxian got tired of squatting, she sat on the carpet.

Yan Ting tossed her a cushion.

Qiao Yuxian hugged it.

Yan Ting tossed her another one.

Qiao Yuxian placed it under her bottom and folded the candy wrapper.

No one spoke, the room was very quiet.

The two of them managed to coexist peacefully for a while.

After finishing a candy, Yan Ting said, "Sister."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

Yan Ting looked at her and said, "I’m sorry."

Qiao Yuxian blankly blinked her eyes.

Yan Ting said, "About Yuan Wei, I apologize to you."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, remained silent for a while, and said, "You should apologize to Yuan Wei."

Yan Ting said, "Mm. I will tell him. As long as he spares my life, whatever he wants."

Qiao Yuxian frowned, and after a while, looked at Yan Ting very seriously.

"What are you doing?" Yan Ting asked.

"I’m seeing who you are?" Qiao Yuxian asked, "Is someone impersonating Yan Ting, or... have you possessed Yan Ting?"

Yan Ting: "......"

Qiao Yuxian really carefully examined him, then seriously asked, "What madness are you up to?"

"I really am..." Yan Ting picked up the pillow beside him, wanting to fling it at her.

Qiao Yuxian hurriedly raised the pillow in her arms as a shield.

But the pillow in Yan Ting’s hand wasn’t thrown at her, it was tossed onto the opposite sofa: "You’re driving me nuts!"

Qiao Yuxian hugged the pillow again.

Yan Ting sighed again: "If Yuan Wei says everything’s okay. Next time I send you a message and you don’t reply, I’ll take you back to Yao Mountain Island and shave your head."

Qiao Yuxian snorted and ignored him.

"Did you hear me?" Yan Ting said.

"Let’s talk about it after Yuan Wei forgives you." Qiao Yuxian folded a paper crane from the candy wrapper and placed it on the coffee table, "Did you have dinner?"

"No." Yan Ting said.

"Is there anything here?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Seems like there’s pasta." Yan Ting said.

"Want some?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Yes."

Qiao Yuxian got up and went to the kitchen.

Yan Ting sat in the living room without moving, listening to the sounds from the kitchen, the corners of his mouth gently lifted, revealing a slight smile on his face.

After Qiao Yuxian made the pasta and Yan Ting finished eating, she tidied up a bit and was about to leave: "You sleep. I’m leaving."

The painkiller on his wound had taken effect, Yan Ting’s complexion looked much better, and he seemed to be in a good mood, and he had changed clothes. From a beggar to a prince.

But when he heard her say she was going home, he immediately became unhappy.

Qiao Yuxian sensed his mood shift, glanced at him and said, "What are you doing? Didn’t fight today, want to make up for it?"

Yan Ting didn’t want to talk any further.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Don’t let the wound get wet. Change the bandage on time. It should be fine. If it still hurts a lot tomorrow, go to the hospital for a check-up. If it’s inconvenient, call me, and I’ll arrange a hospital."

Yan Ting still didn’t say anything.

Qiao Yuxian added, "When are you going back to Yao Mountain Island?"

"Can’t wait for me to leave?" Yan Ting asked.

Qiao Yuxian didn’t want to argue with him and said, "If you’re staying here for a long time, maybe let Yan Jiu come over. You’re like an old, weak, sick, and disabled person now."

"Just say you want to fight." Yan Ting said through gritted teeth.

Qiao Yuxian sized him up and said, "I won’t fight, winning wouldn’t be honorable."

Yan Ting: "......"

Qiao Yuxian raised an eyebrow: "I’m leaving. Call if you need anything."

After speaking, she just walked out.

Yan Ting watched her as she opened the door and left.

For a long while after the door closed, he stood there motionless.

After a long time, he finally withdrew his gaze, turned to the living room coffee table, picked up the paper crane folded from the candy wrapper, looked at it for a while, and put it in his pocket.

Then he went to the bedroom.

The sense of weakness disappeared, and the wound on his shoulder was ignored.

Yan Ting stood at the bedroom door for a while, raised his hand to remove the clothes on his body, and looked at the bandage on his shoulder in front of the full-length mirror.

His right hand reached for the gauze, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of Yan Ting’s mouth.

He stood in front of the full-length mirror for a long time before going to the wardrobe to find clothes.

He had arrived in Jin City today, and all the clothes were bought after he got here.

After dry cleaning at the store, they were delivered here.

Shirts hung in the wardrobe.

Yan Ting took a shirt and put it on, then grabbed a pair of trousers and threw them on the bed.

As he was about to close the wardrobe, he saw a dagger lying on the shelf above it.

He took down the dagger, drew it out, and looked at it.

The bloodstains on it hadn’t been completely wiped clean.

Yan Ting found a handkerchief, carefully wiped away the bloodstains, put it back in the wardrobe, changed his clothes, and left the room.

...

When Qiao Yuxian returned to her room, Gu Yanjing was still waiting for her.

"Not asleep yet." Qiao Yuxian ran to the sofa and jumped into his arms.

Gu Yanjing tossed aside the documents in his hand, hugged her, and let her straddle his lap.

Qiao Yuxian buried her face in his shoulder.

Gu Yanjing stroked her head and said, "Got into a fight?"

"No. I just punched him once." Qiao Yuxian said sullenly, "He got hurt."

"Hmm?" Gu Yanjing asked, "What happened?"

"It was Yan Ting." Qiao Yuxian said, "He came to Jin City to investigate something. When he was near Jin City University, he was blocked and got hurt."

"Yan Ting?" Gu Yanjing asked, "He came here?"

"Mm." Qiao Yuxian responded.

Gu Yanjing said nothing.

Seeing him remain silent, Qiao Yuxian raised her head to look at him.

Gu Yanjing also looked at her, raised his hand to rub her little face, "Next time you want to hit him, call me."

"I can take him on myself." Qiao Yuxian said.

"Did you win last time on Yao Mountain Island?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"Last time it was stopped in time." Qiao Yuxian said, "I don’t necessarily think I’d lose."

"Mm." Gu Yanjing responded, going along with her.

Qiao Yuxian laughed and said, "Still remembering the Yao Mountain Island thing. Huo Yanxin just said that randomly, you can just listen casually."

"You can’t be bullied." Gu Yanjing said, "No one should."

"Of course." Qiao Yuxian kissed Gu Yanjing’s lips, "I have a hubby, so I won’t get bullied."

Gu Yanjing smiled a little, also kissed her, "Had some candy?"

"Mm." Qiao Yuxian said.

"Go brush your teeth, sleep." Gu Yanjing said.

"Carry me." Qiao Yuxian wrapped her arms around his neck.

Gu Yanjing kissed her again, then picked her up and walked towards the bathroom...
