809: The Desire to Survive

The Desire to Survive

Mu Jinghang chuckled and even the fox wrapped around his leg made a mocking sound. 0

On the side, Yin Lei frowned, "Yexuan, what are you saying? You grew up with Houshang. When you visited here as a kid, you always played together. How can you say you don't remember?"

Qiao Qing narrowed her eyes and the air around her turned a little heavy.

Just then, she felt her hand under the table warm up as Jun Yexuan grabbed it. 

With his large hand wrapped around hers, he suddenly made a loud noise, "OH! I remember now!"

Xia Houshang's expression softened while Qiao Qing's grew dark. She tried to snatch her hand away. 

This dead man, however, refused to let go and instead, scratched her palm which tickled Qiao Qing's heart. 

Nobody noticed these two flirting under the table. Only the firefox revealed a somewhat knowing look.

Jun Yexuan continued, "When I was young, there was a young girl who kept on walking around me. I didn't even know her name or what she looked like. So, grandpa, please choose your words carefully. Childhood friends shouldn't be used so lightly."

Xia Houshang snickered and lowered her extended hand. 

"It's been a while and you are living a new life now. It's normal that you've forgotten me. However, I haven't forgotten anything. Everything in the past is still fresh in my mind."

"It's okay if you've forgotten me, you can just get to know me again. Hello, I am Xia Houshang, I'm nobleman Xia Houzhong's daughter, Xia Houshang."

Her tone was confident but she was not boastful over her identity. 

Jun Yexuan narrowed his eyes while Mu Jinghang exclaimed over the high status of this girl's identity. 

Qiao Qing knew that she shouldn't mind this so much, but this still bugged her. 

On the side, Yin Lei smiled, "I am old and confused. You haven't seen each other for more than 10 years now. After all, you both look different than when you were kids. It's normal that you've grown apart."

"Houshang still remembers you after so long, which shows how genuine she is. Yexuan, I've introduced her to you, shouldn't you introduce yourself to her?"

Jun Yexuan smiled at the request, "Hello, I am Qiao Qing's future husband and the future son-in-law to the Qi family from the Capital Country. My name is Jun Yexuan."

Xia Houshang, "..."

Yin Lei, "..."

Everyone else, "..."

This was the first time they've heard someone introduce themselves like this.

Mu Jinghang's heart skipped a beat. No matter what the circumstance, his third brother refused to forget the fact that he was a married man. He's nothing but ruthless towards the women he attracts. 

His survivor desire in front of his sister-in-law was insane.

When Xia Houshang heard those words, she took some time to recover before she grinned.

Then, she turned to glance at Qiao Qing, "I've heard of Ms. Qiao a while ago. Meeting you today has confirmed that all the rumors are true. Not only is the nobility sir from our country head over heels for you, but Jun Yexuan is also set on you."

Jun Yexuan once again narrowed his eyes, "Who's the nobility sir?"

"I know about that," Yin Lei answered, "That boy from the Feng family left the Country of Summer three years ago and went to the City of Brisk. Apparently, he went to chase after some girl but ended up empty-handed. He returned in disarray."

Those words surprised everyone.

Jun Yexuan's eyes narrowed even more while Mu Jinghang burst out, "Feng Heng?!"

"Ah, you know each other?" Yin Lei asked the question that he knew the answer to.
