Chapter 317: Introduction
Translator: Lonelytree
I hurriedly pulled Jing Ni over, signaling for her to apologize.
Jing Ni was a bit silly, but she wasn’t stupid. Plus, when Jing Tian was our tutor, both of us apologized day in and day out.
Jing Ni said sadly, “7th uncle, little uncle, I’m sorry, this is all my fault.”
Jing Tian didn’t say anything.
On the other hand, Mr. Tong Le sighed. “You two brats, why can’t you let us worry less?”
Jing Ni lowered her head even more.
Tong Le couldn’t help but shake his head. “Forget it. What’s done is done. What can we do but fight with all our might? I say, are you two so confident in Dragon’s Gate and Ardent Flame Alliance that you’d go around doing anything you want? Or you’re that confident in your good fortune?”
He then glanced at Qu Hao, who had been standing silently by the side. He touched his nose and said indifferently, “You two don’t have any ability, but you sure know how to drag others into your business.”
Only then did I remember Qu Hao was there. I couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you here?”
Qu Hao smiled. “Nanxing, and here I thought I was invisible.”
I felt somewhat embarrassed. “Thank you for saving us!”
Qu Hao smiled. “You’re welcome. We were just passing by.”
Jing Tian quietly pulled me to his side from behind my uncle, but my hand was still holding Jing Ni’s.
Tong Le said casually, “Regardless, Dragon’s Gate and Ardent Flame Alliance owe Mr. Qu now, right, Jing Tian?”
Jing Tian nodded and said indifferently, “Yes, Ardent Flame Alliance owes Jing Tian one.”
Qu Hao looked at Jing Tian. “Jing Tian, we’ve been through life and death together. Do we have to be so formal?”
Jing Tian didn’t say anything.
Qu Hao sighed. “Fine, if you want to follow the rules, then Ardent Flame Alliance owes me two favors and Dragon’s Gate one!”
We looked at Qu Hao. Qu Hao looked at us. “Jing Tian owes me two because one is his fiance and the other is his niece. Oh wait, I heard her call Tong Le little uncle too, so you too owe me two favors!”
Jing Tian and Tong Le were speechless. I was quite amused. This was the first time I saw them so speechless. It appeared like everything had their kryptonite.
Jing Ni moved back to Jing Tian’s house because she couldn’t stay at her home anymore. It was too dangerous. Furthermore, Auntie Bai Rui was already there.
Qu Hao expressed his interest in visiting our homes.
Jing Tian and Tong Le exchange a glance. To my surprise, they didn’t reject him. That made me even more certain that Qu Hao was Jing Tian and Tong Le’s kryptonite! This was an interesting discovery.
I pulled Jing Ni over. “Ni Ni, this is Mai Qi’s big brother, Mr. Qu Hao!”
Qu Hao said, “Hello, Miss Jing Ni. I often hear Nanxing and Mai Qi talk about you.”
Often??I was about to open my mouth, but then I held back. It was probably just a polite remark. I wasn’t going to correct him. Plus, Mai Qi probably did often tell him about Jing Ni and me.
Jing Tian glared at me and pulled me away from Qu Hao.
Jing Ni greeted softly. “Mr. Qu Hao.” Then she lowered her head and followed me.
Jing Ni was back to her old self. But at the same time, I knew she had changed. I believed she had no space in her heart anymore.
Furthermore, she referred to Tong Le as ‘little uncle’. It was how we used to address Tong Le.
She didn’t recognize being Tong Le’s fiance. Perhaps she found my little uncle too old, or she already had someone else in her heart.. Regardless, it didn’t matter to me anymore as long as she was safe and sound.
