Chapter 287: Chapter 67 Quan Ji and Quan Mo

Lin Mi turned around, puzzled, "Why, do I look very old to you?"

Yun Xiao couldn’t hide her embarrassment, her cheeks slightly flushed as she explained, "No, you look young on the surface, but your personality seems quite mature."

Lin Mi looked up at the setting sun and smiled faintly, "I’m twenty-five. As for being mature..."

She chuckled but didn’t elaborate further. Because anyone who has experienced life or death can’t maintain their naïveté.

"Yun Xiao, you look like a twenty-year-old girl, but aren’t you mature as well?" Lin Mi turned to her with a smile.

Yun Xiao gripped the dog leash tighter and explained, "No, you’re wrong. I just like to observe the world, not to talk much. My thoughts are not as mature as Xiao Xi’s. She’s just more naïve when it comes to love. In fact, she’s quite composed, whether it’s about thinking things through or dealing with people, she can make the quickest decisions. Very decisive."

Lin Mi agreed with Yun Xiao’s assessment of Gu Xiaoxi. Indeed, a bit naïve in matters of the heart, even somewhat conservative and passive.

"What about you? Are you also naïve when it comes to love?" Lin Mi tilted his head, looking at Yun Xiao with shining eyes full of curiosity.

Yun Xiao couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly, "Although I have seen quite a bit, I’ve never been in love, so who knows? Let’s not talk about this. Are you here to see the superior officer for something?"

"Yes! I have some documents I need him to approve. How come you ended up living with Gu Xiaoxi? I never saw you before," Lin Mi said, curious about the new girl.

Anyone Young Master Quan accepts must be special.

He knew Quan Shaoqing despised women and found them troublesome. Even so, he might keep Yun Xiao for the sake of Gu Xiaoxi’s face, but no one disliked by him would dare to live under his roof.

However, Yun Xiao was an exception, and although Young Master Quan was not overly affectionate toward her, his manner was neither disdainful but one of tacit approval and indulgence.

One could say, this was a very rare occurrence.

"I just come to stay with Xiao Xi at night, and simply never ran into you," Yun Xiao explained.

In fact, after interacting with Lin Mi, she found him to be a very warm person. Mature in disposition, gentle, and polite.

Yun Xiao thought, around a good person, there are always other exemplary people.

It probably comes down to the saying that one takes on the color of one’s company. Though Young Master Quan may appear cold on the outside, he is upright in dealing with people, with a knight’s valor and tender heart. Lin Mi too, although imposing and unapproachable in public, turned out to be very friendly in private.

Yun Xiao felt that ever since she followed Gu Xiaoxi, not only had her luck changed, but she also kept meeting good people.

She thought it over and felt that "good people" were the only words that could express her fondness for everyone.

"Let’s not disturb them, let’s walk a bit more. There’s a field of flowers over there, shall I take you for a walk?" Lin Mi pointed to the distance and said to Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao nodded, "Sure, it’s still early."

It was essential to give Quan Shaoqing and Gu Xiaoxi more space to enjoy their private moments as lovers.

...

Meanwhile, in the garden.

The warm red sunset bathed the small garden, drawing the perfect silhouettes of the two.

"Woof Woof Woof!"

A burst of barking erupted beside them.

Young Master Quan paused, frowning tightly...

"Woof Woof Woof..."

More barking ensued, this time incessant.

Gu Xiaoxi, on high alert, suddenly pushed away Quan Shaoqing and looked toward the path.

She saw a twenty-something year old man at the nearby corner, holding a plump little ball of fluff, who was perched on the nearby fence looking at them, eyes filled with curiosity.

"Uncle, Daddy is kissing sister! Oh no, she’s spotted us." Quan Mo immediately squatted down in the bushes, attempting to hide herself.

Quan Ji’s face showed a mischievous smile as he pulled the little girl up from the ground and strode forward, laughing, "Second brother, Great-Aunt has sent me to check on you. Here, this is the snack she made herself, and she told me to bring it to you."

As he spoke, he took out a large basket, all packed with food.

Quan Shaoqing scowled at Quan Ji, annoyed at the interruption, far too inconsiderate.

"Daddy, Grandma said you need to take good care of yourself, you’ve been losing weight recently. Also, when did you start dating a girlfriend, and why didn’t you let everyone know? I’ll go back and tell Grandma, she will surely be happy." Quan Mo looked up at Gu Xiaoxi with her delicate little face and then walked forward, reaching out to grab her trousers, straining to look up as she exclaimed in a babyish voice, "Auntie is so tall."

Gu Xiaoxi stood there, feeling both embarrassed and confused, suddenly faced with a child calling Quan Shaoqing Daddy and calling her Auntie. What exactly was their relationship? It seemed quite complicated.

Quan Shaoqing seemed to understand her embarrassment and explained, "This is my cousin, Quan Ji. This is my brother’s child. According to our family’s tradition, a little uncle can also be called Daddy. Her name is Quan Mo."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded and smiled gently, "Nice to meet you all!"

Then she answered Quan Mo, "It’s not that I’m tall, it’s that you’re too short."

Quan Mo pouted and stared intently at Gu Xiaoxi’s face.

Gu Xiaoxi crouched down, gently taking the little girl’s smooth hand, and smiled gently, "Can I hold you?"

"Yes!"

"Do you need anything right now?" Gu Xiaoxi asked. In fact, she wasn’t very good at comforting children, and sometimes she felt she hadn’t grown up herself.

"I need you to take me to the bathroom, and then to the bath to wash me. Quan Ji is too clumsy, he made me fall many times on the way, my clothes are dirty now."

Listening to her soft voice, and seeing her delicate baby-like features as if stepping out of a painting, Gu Xiaoxi felt an inexplicable fondness in her heart.

"So, is it alright if we use my room to get cleaned up?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.

"OK!"

The little girl hopped and skipped about. Even if her skirt was a bit stained, it didn’t affect her lively, cute, and spirited demeanor.

Watching Gu Xiaoxi walk away with Quan Mo, Quan Shaoqing was at a loss for words. Honestly, he thought of Gu Xiaoxi as a child herself, and the sight of her with a child in tow was especially comical.

"Second brother, I saw you smile. Looks like you’ve been living quite well lately. This business of stashing away a beauty, you’ve kept it too well hidden! Great-Aunt is still worried sick about you all the time, wishing she could screen all the pretty girls to find you a good wife," Quan Ji said with a grin.

Quan Shaoqing led him into the living room with a snort, "What do you want with me?"

"Can’t I come see you if there’s no matter? Momo missed you. I just brought some snacks over on the way," Quan Ji laughed. He looked around the villa and realized. It seemed that this secret romance had been going on for quite some time.

In the past, he never wanted to stay here, but now, looking at the well-kept fixtures and the flourishing flowers in the house, it was evident that they had lived together for quite some time.

Quan Shaoqing didn’t believe he had come just to check on him, "Did my mom send you?"

"You know it and you still ask!"

"Don’t mention what’s happening here to her for the time being. After this competition, I’ll go back and tell her myself. And, incidentally, prepare for the wedding," Quan Shaoqing said, pouring water while speaking.

"Alright, I’ll do as you say. But, are you serious about her?" Quan Ji felt that Gu Xiaoxi was really young; dating seemed appropriate, but marriage seemed a bit forced.

After all, considering Quan Shaoqing’s age, he should find someone more mature for marriage and children, which might be what the old lady wishes.

"Would you not be serious about something like marriage?" Quan Shaoqing handed him a cup of water, asking back.

"True! Then, congratulations in advance, cousin," although he wasn’t optimistic about the marriage, if his brother liked her, he naturally wouldn’t say much.

Sipping his tea, Quan Shaoqing chuckled, "Congratulating me is a bit premature, wait a bit, and I’ll have someone send you and Momo back home."

"Brother, that’s so heartless. We came all this way, at least let us rest for the night before leaving," Quan Ji leaned on the sofa, assuming a willful demeanor.
