My Identities Were All Exposed After I Was Pampered by Everyone at My Grandfather's House!

222 Danger

Qiao Yue’s fingers were dipped in antiseptic cream as she applied it to Qiao Jing’s wounds. Her hands weren’t as delicate as most girls’. Qiao Jing could feel the rough calluses and slightly lower body temperature and his heart beat very fast.

Qiao Yue stood behind him, treating his wounds gently and he could feel her warm breath.

Qiao Jing always felt that he had good self-control, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a little restless.

“Does it hurt?” Qiao Yue asked.

“It’s alright.” Qiao Jing said.

The air quieted down just like that, leaving only the light sound of fingers rubbing against skin.

Qiao Yue felt her own face turn red.

She was so concerned just now that she had completely forgotten about the safe distance between men and women.

She tried not to look at parts of his body she shouldn’t as she applied antiseptic cream on his wounds.

Although Qiao Jing sat in the office all day, he had a good body. His chest and abdominal muscles were well defined and taut.

The areas that Qiao Yi had hit him looked badly bruised.

Qiao Yue was gentle and careful when applying the cream.

Qiao Jing seemed to feel no pain and allowed her to treat his wounds.

“Don’t take today’s matter to heart.” Qiao Jing broke the silence.

Qiao Yue knew what Qiao Jing was talking about.

In fact, she was also very curious about what had happened between her mother and Qiao Ren, and what kind of thing Qiao Yi kept talking about.

Before today, they said that her mother had stolen something from the family. And now, none them were willing to tell her exactly what had happened. She couldn’t find any evidence on the school forum or any other places.

The search for her mother’s true identity seemed to have become an unsolved case.

She should have had a talk with Qiao Ren.

As she pondered, her movements slowed.

Qiao Jing could feel her hands slowing down. “Qiao Yue? Qiao Yue?”

Only then did Qiao Yue snap back to reality. “I’m sorry, I was distracted.”

Qiao Yue quickly finished treating Qiao Jing’s wounds and helped him put on his shirt.

Qiao Jing’s body was once again in full view of her, and she felt her face heat up again.

“Thank you,” Qiao Jing said.

“No worries.” Qiao Yue lowered her head, still thinking about her mother.

“I’ll get to the bottom of this. Don’t worry.” Qiao Jing’s voice was calming.

Qiao Yue looked up at Qiao Jing, her face full of disbelief.

Qiao Jing’s parents had always been at odds with each other, probably because of Qiao Qing.

It would hurt Qiao Jing to ask his parents about this.

“This might not be a good idea...” Qiao Yue lowered her head.

She really wanted to know what had happened to her mother, but she didn’t want Qiao Jing to hurt like that.

Qiao Yue felt that she was being shameless.

Qiao Jing patted her on the head. “It’s okay.”

Tao Xi and Qiao Ren’s conflict had been going on for a long time. When Qiao Jing was young, he had hoped that his parents would make up.

But now, Qiao Jing only hoped that his parents were safe and sound. This kind of loveless marriage was meaningless. Qiao Jing had long lost hope in the two of them.

However, based on what Qiao Ren said tonight, it seemed that their feud had something to do with his aunt, Qiao Qing.

He still felt bad for a moment.

However, it wasn’t because of his parents. It was because of Qiao Yue.

Qiao Jing hoped that Qiao Yue could live a carefree life under the Qiao’s roof. He didn’t want her dragged into these things.

But now, it seemed that they were all inevitably pulled into an emotional whirlpool from the past.

“I will help you,” Qiao Jing said. “Qiao Ze has probably chosen Qiao Yi’s side. Should we continue as planned?”

Only then did Qiao Yue remember Qiao Ze’s matter and she frowned.

End of December was a good opportunity to take down Qiao Yi and his cronies in one fell swoop. If they didn’t take this opportunity to punish Qiao Yi, it might be very difficult later on.

“Aside from Qiao Yi, there seems to be something wrong with Qiao Li as well. I’ve looked into that AT Company. It’s not that simple.” Qiao Yue said.

Qiao Jing nodded. “Leave these things to me. If there’s any operation, let me handle it.”

Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Jing, not understanding what he meant.

“Let me handle all the dangerous things from here on out.” Qiao Jing added.
