Chapter 134: A Night Without Returning

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Xu Qing returned to her new room, she sat on the bed quietly. The uneasiness in her heart grew. She had a feeling that Qiao Yanhui wouldn’t return!

Deng Chengxi looked at Xu Qing and wanted to say something but hesitated. In fact, after knowing Qiao Yanhui’s identity, she knew that this day would come sooner or later. Qiao Yanhui would leave Xu Qing sooner or later. There were so many things to do in the capital, and they were waiting for Qiao Yanhui to go back and deal with them. As for Xu Qing, who didn’t have the ability to protect herself, it was impossible for Qiao Yanhui to bring her. Qiao Yanhui wouldn’t let Xu Qing be in danger. Deng Chengxi was silent for a moment, then said apologetically, “Xiao Qing, I’m going back to the capital tomorrow.”

Xu Qing responded indifferently. She knew that Deng Chengxi was from the capital and was only here for business. She would have to leave sooner or later. However, she still felt very bitter. Was everyone leaving her?

“Little Qing, I’ll definitely come back to see you after I’m done dealing with the matters in Jingdu,” Deng Chengxi promised. There was a problem with the shop in Jingdu, so she had to go back and deal with it immediately. If it wasn’t a serious matter, her brother wouldn’t have specifically come to inform her. Her brother was Deng Jiangming!

“I understand. Take care,” Xu Qing replied softly. All she could do now was wait!

Deng Chengxi looked at Xu Qing, who had her eyes lowered, and couldn’t help but remind her, “Little Qing, I know that you’re feeling very lost now, and I also know that you might have already guessed some things. I hope that you can understand that before you have enough ability to protect yourself, don’t go to the capital! Even if Qiao Yanhui has the power to protect you, the situation in the capital is changing, and there will be times when Qiao Yanhui overlooks things. Even a single moment of carelessness will be a disaster for you!”

“I know,” Xu Qing replied, but she clenched her fists. She knew that she wasn’t capable enough at the moment. She still needed to become more powerful!

In the end, Deng Chengxi also left, leaving Xu Qing alone in the house. Because she was worried that the three children would disturb Xu Qing and Qiao Yanhui’s wedding night, Qu Feng had already brought the children over.

However, Qu Feng and the others didn’t expect that Qiao Yanhui wouldn’t stick around.

Xu Qing didn’t change her clothes. She sat there for a long time. Finally, she said softly, “Come out!” Because she was a doctor, she was especially sensitive to scents. She felt a cold and murderous aura beside her.

“Master!” Two cold male voices sounded in the house. There was a hint of disbelief in their voices. They had not expected this woman, who had no martial arts background, to notice them.

Xu Qing looked indifferently at the two men kneeling on the ground and waited for them to answer.

“We’re Qiao Yi and Qiao Er. Greetings, Master!”

“Did Qiao Yanhui ask you guys to come?” Xu Qing lowered her eyes slightly. Did Qiao Yanhui send her his two most powerful bodyguards?

Qiao Yi and Qiao Er said firmly, “From now on, we will only listen to your orders!”

In the future, they would only have Xu Qing as their master! Naturally, they would only obey Xu Qing’s orders! This was the last order from their previous master! The lives of Death Soldiers belonged to their master. They were also the two strongest Death Soldiers that the Qiao family had secretly nurtured!

Xu Qing was silent for a moment before saying, “In the future, protect me secretly.”

“Yes!” The two men retreated a moment later.

Xu Qing felt even more ambivalent. Qiao Yanhui had actually left people behind to protect her. What about him? It would only be more dangerous for him, right? Xu Qing sat there for the entire night, but Qiao Yanhui didn’t reappear.

As she watched the sun slowly rise, Xu Qing felt cold. Even the warm sun couldn’t disperse that sense of coldness! Something must have happened to Qiao Yanhui! Otherwise, there wouldn’t be no news of him.

Xu Qing didn’t dare to dwell on it, nor could she afford to. She had to make herself stronger. Otherwise, she would only be a burden to Qiao Yanhui!

Xu Qing patted her face and put on light makeup. She was worried that her parents would see her haggard face.

Seeing that Xu Qing had finally come out, Qu Feng and the others heaved a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Xu Qing would be depressed. After all, Qiao Yanhui had not returned that night!

“Mom, where’s my mentor?” Xu Qing looked around but didn’t see Bai Xian. She thought that since Bai Xian was back, she had to take advantage of this period of time to learn his medical skills.

“He left last night…” Qu Feng was a little worried. She didn’t know where Qiao Yanhui had gone, nor did she know what he had done! But she knew one thing now. Qiao Yanhui had not returned all night. How could Xu Qing carry herself with dignity in the village in the future?!
