Chapter 617: Chapter 617 Qiao Yun: Kissing Me Without Being Together Is Hooliganism Chapter 617: Chapter 617 Qiao Yun: Kissing Me Without Being Together Is Hooliganism Pei Ya raised an eyebrow, “That’s right, your life was saved by my boss, so don’t mess around anymore. Now that the bad guys have been caught, you shouldn’t overthink it. Just live your life well.”

He was worried that Qiao Xun wouldn’t get over the hurdle of Jia Yunzhi and might end up doing something foolish again.

Unexpectedly, Doctor Qiao, who usually didn’t show off or reveal much, was harboring such a significant issue inside.

Qiao Xun’s expression was very complicated. He lowered his eyes and did not respond to Pei Ya’s words.

Pei Ya did not say anything else and went out to call the dean over to give Qiao Xun a thorough examination.

The dean was incredibly surprised to hear that Qiao Xun had awakened.

It was unbelievable that he had woken up so quickly after such severe injuries!

After a careful examination, the dean told Pei Ya, “Doctor Qiao is not in much trouble now; he just needs to rest well.”

Pei Ya nodded and told the dean to go ahead with his duties.

Before the dean left the room, he took one last reluctant look at Doctor Qiao, almost making Pei Ya think he was under the illusion of being the Queen Mother of the West.

The dean felt a deep regret that Director Pei hadn’t told him what the concoction was all about. If it could be shared with the world, it would make a great contribution to medical science.

Pei Ya’s mouth twitched. The dean really was persistent.

It wasn’t long before the dean left when Qiao Yun came in.

Qiao Xun looked at Qiao Yun’s cold little face and, for some reason, felt a sourness in his eyes. His adam’s apple moved, his throat feeling dry. He wanted to say something but realized he didn’t even have the courage to speak.

Qiao Yun didn’t say a word, directly sitting on the chair beside the bed, staring unwaveringly at Qiao Xun.

Seeing that the atmosphere was off, Pei Ya chuckled a few times, “Well, I just remembered I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first. Take your time to talk, and contact me if you need anything. Goodbye!”

Without waiting for them to respond, he quickly made his escape.

The two of them remained silent for a while, and Qiao Xun, suppressing the uncomfortable feeling, said softly, “Qiaoqiao… I’m sorry.”

Qiao Yun’s voice was calm, “Why do you say sorry?”

That delicate little face was still tense, showing no signs of whether her mood was good or bad.

Qiao Xun pursed his lips, his voice trembling slightly as he began, “I shouldn’t have used you.”

He was still troubled by the fact that he had used Qiao Yun, even if his intentions had been good. It didn’t excuse his actions.

Qiao Yun’s eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment, she sighed softly, “I forgive you.”

Qiao Xun looked shocked, clearly not expecting Qiao Yun to say that. He was unusually cautious in Qiao Yun’s presence, “You’re not mad at your uncle?”

“Did you ever think of harming me?”

“Of course not,” Qiao Xun hurriedly denied, “I never thought of hurting you, nor would I ever let you get hurt.”

“Then I forgive you,” Qiao Yun’s gaze shifted to the spot where Qiao Xun was injured, “You took a bullet for me, we’re even now.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xun couldn’t help but feel his eyes well up.

Qiaoqiao looked cold, but she was actually a kind-hearted good child.

Even scolding him seemed unbearable to her.

Qiao Yun then said, “But you can’t lie to me in the future.”

“Okay.”

“And you have to stay alive.”

Although the situation was chaotic at the time, Qiao Yun could still tell that her uncle was resigning himself to death.

It was as if the force that had been keeping him alive extinguished in that moment, and he saw no reason to continue living.

Qiao Xun was stunned for a long time, tears finally sliding down his cheeks.

His voice hoarse, “I will stay alive.”

If Qiao Yun hadn’t arrived, he wasn’t sure what he would have become.

Perhaps, due to hatred, he would have let the hands that are supposed to save lives take one.

Now, he would live properly.

He couldn’t bear to make the people who cared about him sad.

Qiao Yun was finally satisfied. Seeing her uncle suddenly crying made her rigid all over, somewhat at a loss.

“Don’t cry.”

Seeming to feel that such comfort was too insipid, she tightened her little face and added, “Men don’t easily shed tears, so you can’t cry.”

Qiao Xun laughed, “There’s another line to it, but the sadness hasn’t hit yet.”

Qiao Yun indulgently said, “Alright then, go ahead and cry.”

Qiao Xun’s tears were instantly held back, her emotions disrupted, how could she continue crying?

Seeing that Qiao Xun was not crying anymore, Qiao Yun then said, “You have to believe in me, no matter what happens, I can handle it, so next time you’re in trouble, come to me.”

“Okay,” Qiao Xun felt moved internally, she had never seen any sign of lack of confidence in Qiao Yun; she was always so strong.

“By the way, say thanks to Grandpa Li for me.”

“Hm?”

Qiao Xun said somewhat guiltily, “If Grandpa Li hadn’t intervened, I was originally planning to perish together with Li Nanfeng.”

Qiao Yun: Hmph…

The little uncle really is too mischievous, looks like I have to find more things for him to do.

“That was just my past thought, now I definitely don’t think that way,” Qiao Xun appeasingly said.

The little niece is angry, she needs to be pacified.

“It better be,” Qiao Yun said sternly, looking quite fierce.

Qiao Xun gave a light cough, watching Qiao Yun’s expression, and suddenly asked, “Do you like him?”

“Huh?” Qiao Yun looked bewildered.

Seeing this, Qiao Xun lightly laughed, “Silly Qiaoqiao, your little uncle is experienced; he could tell at a glance that Grandpa Li likes you.”

In that critical situation back then, Qiao Xun still noticed Li Hanzhou’s instinctive protection of Qiao Yun.

Li Hanzhou was willing to give his life for Qiao Yun, yet now it seemed that Qiao Yun didn’t understand anything yet.

This little niece of his seemed carefree, indifferent to everything, but deep down she was very stubborn, and once she recognized someone or something, she wouldn’t change her mind.

On hearing this, Qiao Yun’s eyes flickered, understanding yet not understanding, “I don’t understand that feeling, I like brother just as I like, like Miaomiao just as I like, like little uncle just as I like, and of course, I like Li Hanzhou too.”

She furrowed her brows, puzzled by this emotion.

She could understand that Li Hanzhou’s like was the kind wanting to get married, but she did not yet understand this emotion.

Qiao Xun then phrased it differently, “If your brother were to get married, would you bless him?”

Qiao Yun nodded, “Of course, I want my brother to be happy.”

“What if Li Hanzhou were to get married?”

Qiao Yun paused, unable to respond immediately, and after a long moment, slowly said, “If he wishes to, then that’s good.”

Qiao Xun kept watching Qiao Yun and gave a slight smile, “I understand now.”

It seems Qiaoqiao hasn’t realized yet that Li Hanzhou is different for her.

Of course, he wouldn’t spill the beans; letting Li Hanzhou suffer a bit more wouldn’t hurt.

After all, he tried to take Qiaoqiao away.

At that moment, Qiao Yun’s phone rang; it was a call from Lu Zhanxing.

“Little sister, where are you?”

Qiao Yun replied, “At the hospital, visiting little uncle.”

“I just finished up with work, shall we have a meal together?”

Qiao Yun did not refuse, “Okay.”

This time she had worried her brother, and she didn’t know how else to make it up to him other than to be even nicer to Lu Zhanxing, naturally not declining Lu Zhanxing’s request.

When the agreed time came, Qiao Yun bade farewell to Qiao Xun.

Just as she stepped out of the hospital, Li Hanzhou approached, his eyebrows raised, “Where are you going?”

Qiao Yun uttered an “Oh,” and explained, “Brother is asking me out to eat.”

“Let’s go together; I haven’t eaten yet,” Li Hanzhou put on a pitiful look.

Qiao Yun generously agreed, “Sure.”

She didn’t see it as anything special; after all, it wasn’t the first time they were eating together.

…

Fearing Qiao Yun would be troubled, Lu Zhanxing specifically reserved a private restaurant near the hospital.

It was secluded enough to avoid being spotted by paparazzi or fans.

Lu Zhanxing had secretly contacted Pei Ya yesterday, and learned from Pei Ya about what they had experienced in the past two days.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was extremely anxious inside.

It was an explosion, after all. What if his sister was accidentally injured?

He just didn’t want his sister to overthink, so he had been pretending to be calm all along.

Still feeling the aftershocks, he had asked Qiao Yun to come out for a meal together.

He hadn’t expected that a perfectly tender moment would be interrupted by a third party…

When Lu Zhanxing saw Qiao Yun and Li Hanzhou come in together, a look of disdain flashed across his face.

He said cheerfully, “Isn’t Master Li busy? How do you have time to join us for a meal?”

Li Hanzhou, unfazed, replied, “No matter how busy, nothing is more important than having a meal with the little ones.”

Qiao Yun pretended not to hear and calmly pulled out a chair to sit down.

Lu Zhanxing: tui~

“Master Li, when are you planning to go back?”

Go away quickly, don’t hold up the fun I’m having with my sister.

“Tonight,” Li Hanzhou said, looking at Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun was slightly stunned, then nodded after a moment to indicate she understood.

Lu Zhanxing was relieved.

Li Hanzhou then asked, “Little friend, want to go back together?”

He could have stayed a bit longer, but some matters that needed handling, especially those concerning Qiao Yun, made it urgent.

Before Qiao Yun could answer, Lu Zhanxing immediately drooped his eyelids, giving a pitiful look, “Sister, don’t you want to go back with your brother?”

Seeing Lu Zhanxing like this, Qiao Yun didn’t hesitate and said, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

Li Hanzhou stated, “Your second brother’s work might take a while to finish, don’t forget you still have school.”

Qiao Yun thought about it and replied, “Oh, right, I can’t delay my studies.”

“It won’t delay your studies,” Lu Zhanxing pouted, “Brother is going back to Shangjing tomorrow.”

Upon hearing she had to leave tomorrow, Qiao Yun nodded, “Okay, then.”

She looked at Li Hanzhou, apologetically saying, “I have to go back with my brother.”

What could Li Hanzhou say? He wasn’t about to kidnap Qiao Yun.

He looked at Lu Zhanxing, who wore a smug expression, and pulled the corner of his lips speechlessly.

So childish.

Lu Zhanxing didn’t care whether it was childish or not, he just wanted to be the stumbling block on the path of love between his sister and Li Hanzhou.

Although it might not be very effective, he was still annoyed.

After the meal.

Li Hanzhou said goodbye to Qiao Yun, “I’m leaving now.”

“Mmm, be careful on the road.” Qiao Yun looked up at him.

Li Hanzhou’s deep gaze met Qiao Yun’s clear and innocent eyes, causing an inevitable tremor in his heart.

He couldn’t resist, reached out his hand, and hugged Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun was suddenly embraced, her tender face pressed against Li Hanzhou’s chest, the strong heartbeat of the man ringing in her ears.

In that moment, she found her own heartbeat speeding up a bit as well.

Lu Zhanxing: (ODO)

Li Hanzhou only hugged her for a moment before letting go, seeing Qiao Yun’s puzzled face, he felt somewhat irritable.

His eyes darkened, then he lowered his head.

Before Qiao Yun could react, Li Hanzhou’s strikingly handsome face was already very close, his warm breath coming headlong, causing her breath to catch subconsciously.

The next second, a kiss as light as a feather touched her forehead.

In that moment, all her senses were magnified to the limit.

Qiao Yun could feel the man’s cool lips, the moist sensation.

She was dumbfounded.

Li Hanzhou restrained himself to just a touch before letting go and stepping back. Seeing Qiao Yun’s cheeks flushed, he was stunned for a moment, then a joyous feeling surged into his heart.

It seemed that the kid wasn’t completely indifferent to him.

His gaze landed on Qiao Yun’s attractive lips, his throat felt dry, but soon he struggled to avert his eyes.

Qiao Yun’s eyelashes fluttered lightly. After recovering, she raised her hand to cover her forehead and stared with wide eyes at the calm man.

Li Hanzhou pretended to be calm and said slowly, “That was a farewell kiss.”

Qiao Yun remained silent, giving no clue as to what she was thinking.

Li Hanzhou clicked his tongue lightly, his voice shaky, “It’s quite normal behavior abroad; you should get used to it.”

Qiao Yun spoke earnestly, “Are you a foreigner?”

“…”

Li Hanzhou coughed, “Are you not pleased?”

“…” Qiao Yun had nothing to say.

Li Hanzhou didn’t speak either, he now regretted not just kissing her on the lips since it was already a kiss.

Qiao Yun lowered her hand from her forehead, her face tense as she said, “We’re not together, you can’t kiss me.”

Li Hanzhou asked offhand, “Then when will you be with me?”

“I don’t know.”

“…”

“It’s just not right, it’s against manners.”

“This is called uncontrollable emotions.”

“No means no.” Although Qiao Yun didn’t understand feelings well, she knew that kissing someone without being together was hooliganism.

Thinking of this, she blurted out, “You’re behaving like a hooligan.”

Li Hanzhou: “…”

He couldn’t help but laugh out loud, took Qiao Yun’s hand, gently pinched her fingertips, and touched them with his lips, pretending to be frivolous, “Let’s be hooligans once more.”

Qiao Yun quickly withdrew her hand, her eyes wide open.

“I’m leaving, see you when I get back.”

Li Hanzhou stopped teasing her, waved at Qiao Yun, and then got into the car and left.

Qiao Yun watched the departing car, touching her cheek with the back of her hand.

Yeah.

It was a bit hot.

She must be sick.

Qiao Yun breathed out, turned around, and saw Lu Zhanxing standing there, looking as if he had been struck by lightning.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

Lu Zhanxing slowly came back to his senses, his fingers trembling slightly, “He, he… ”

That’s outrageous!

Daring to take liberties with his sister right in front of him, what might he do if he was not around?

That’s terrifying!

He warned solemnly, “Sister, from now on, you must not be alone with Master Li, understand?”

“Why?”

“Just because he kissed you. Who knows if next time he might get handsy.”

“Handsy? How?” Qiao Yun sincerely asked.

Lu Zhanxing: “…”

Forget it, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything.

…

Li Hanzhou didn’t return to Shangjing City; instead, he took a detour to M country. After hours of driving, he eventually got out in front of a lavish mansion.

Li Hanzhou looked up at the luxurious estate before him, his eyes dimming slightly, then stepped forward and walked in.
