?Chapter 152: 152. What do you like about Jian Qing (1) _1 Chapter 152: 152. What do you like about Jian Qing (1) _1 Recalling the previous incident where the tea master was almost irritated to death by his own son, Quan Che stared at Quan Mingxuan with a face full of disappointment.

He was minding his own business here, but trouble always seemed to find him!

Did this count as being a scapegoat?

Facing his father’s angry stare, Quan Mingxuan silently maintained his silence. Arguing back at such a time would undoubtedly lead to a miserable outcome. With so many people present, he still had to save face.

“Ache, stop scolding Axuan, he knows his mistake.” The family matriarch called out, siding with him.

Quan Mingxuan took advantage of this, quickly said, “That’s right, dad, I really do know my mistake, you can’t keep harping on this issue.”

The whole fuss was all because that old tea master had been nagging non-stop in his ears. He had only trimmed his beard a little, was that any reason to make such a fuss?

Quan Che snorted lightly, “I can’t be bothered dealing with you.”

“Little Qingqing, have some pastry. These were made by me and Axuan’s mother. You should try and see if they taste good.” After spending a short day with Jian Qing at Shijin Haoting, Rhee had gained some understanding of Jian Qing’s tastes.

Like her, he also liked snacks and sweets like cakes.

Jian Qing accepted with a “Thank you.”

“Jian Qing, I heard from Feifei that you and Jingwu fell in love at first sight?” The family matriarch looked at Jian Qing, curiosity filling her voice.

Jian Qing took a bite of the pastry before she had swallowed, she heard the words of the matriarch, she lifted her eyes to look at Quan Yifei, only to see her cover her face, trying to make herself less noticeable.

She and Xiaojing, love at first sight? That didn’t seem to be the case.

“Yifei was just joking.”

“So you’re saying that it was Jingwu who fell in love with you at first sight and was single-minded in his pursuit?” Rhee’s shocking statement suddenly sparked everyone’s gossiping instinct.

The sight of Quan Jingwu’s drama was a rare occurrence indeed.

Everyone’s gaze gathered on Quan Jingwu, and Quan Mingxuan cheekily chimed in, “To find out about this, we should ask the people involved, right, Jingwu?”

Jian Qing lowered her head to nibble at her pastry, remaining silent. It was up to him to sort this situation out, she could do nothing to assist!

Quan Jingwu looked at the Ostrich-like girl. Under the curious gaze of everyone, he parted his thin lips, “That’s right!”

The simple but firm response instantly ignited the atmosphere in the living room.

“See, I didn’t lie.” Quan Yifei chimed in amid cheers.

Jian Qing took a bite of her pastry, but a smile appeared in the corner of her mouth.

“Jingwu, what did you see in Jian Qing?” Quan Mingxuan seized the opportunity to ask, a gossiping tone in his voice.

About this point, everyone else also expressed interest, as they expected Quan Jingwu to be the last in the Quan family to get married.

“Little Qingqing, why don’t you listen? Aren’t you curious about Jingwu’s answer?” Seeing that Jian Qing was still bowing her head nibbling the pastry, Rhee, holding back her laughter, reminded her.

Now, Jian Qing could no longer hide. When she lifted her eyes, she met his gaze. Suddenly, Quan Jingwu curved his lips into a smile.

“Everything about her.”

“Tsk tsk, I’m dying!” Quan Yifei covered her face in an exaggerated manner, while everyone else felt like they had just been shown a huge display of affection.

A declaration of love in front of his family, Jian Qing’s face flushed, and she felt as if her mouth was extremely dry.

Suddenly, everyone felt that Quan Jingwu seemed more approachable, warmer, and not as cold as before.

All of this, was likely due to the girl with the mild smile.

Quan Mingxuan, noticed the bracelet being worn by Quan Jingwu, particularly the carved words on the jade beads.

Looking up at Jian Qing, he joked, “Jian Qing, that bracelet on Jingwu’s wrist, it couldn’t possibly be a token of love you gave him, right?”

At these words, everyone turned to look at Quan Jingwu’s wrist.

“Cough, cough…” The pastry in Jian Qing’s mouth went down the wrong pipe, resulting in a coughing fit. She turned to one side and covered her mouth.

Quan Jingwu’s handsome brows furrowed as he immediately stood up and walked over, offering her a cup of water. “Have some water.”

Jian Qing took the cup, took a few sips of water, and managed to stop coughing.

“No more eating.” He gently took the pastry from her hand, softly telling her.

The pastry was really delicious, which was why she had been continuously eating it. Upon hearing that she had to stop, Jian Qing immediately protested, “I haven’t finished eating yet, throwing it away would be such a waste.”

“This way it won’t go to waste.” Having said that, he popped the half-eaten pastry into his mouth without any hesitation.

Everyone stared at Quan Jingwu, their gazes turning strange. It felt as if they had been continuously assaulted the entire time.

What happened to Jingwu’s cleanliness obsession?

Did their eyes deceive them just now? Did he actually eat something that someone else had already taken a bite of?

Jian Qing was both angry and amused, this guy was really something else.

Quan Jingwu swallowed the pastry, he didn’t really have much of a sweet tooth to begin with, so he took Jian Qing’s cup of water and took a few gulps to wash down the sweetness from his mouth.

“Let’s go, I’ll show you around!”

He stooped down to clasp her hand, pulling her to her feet.

Jian Qing stood beside him, looking hesitant. Leaving everyone in the living room to go off on a tour didn’t seem very polite.

Seeing Jian Qing’s hesitation, Rhee reassured her, “Little Qingqing, let Jingwu show you around the mansion. This way, you’ll know your way around the next time you visit.”

After bidding the family matriarch and the others farewell, the couple left hand in hand.

Watching the couple leave, everyone at heart thought they were indeed a perfect fit for each other.

“Mum, what do you think?” Rhee turned to the family matriarch with a smile.

The family matriarch gently patted her hand, responding, “Very good indeed, I have no doubts about Jingwu’s taste.”

“Rhee, it looks like you’ll be a mother-in-law soon, right?” Quan Mingxuan’s mother, Weng Ya, jokingly commented.

“I’ll take that as a good omen!” The thought of her becoming a mother-in-law had Rhee laughing uncontrollably.

Becoming a mother-in-law, that would be great!

Becoming a grandmother, that would be even better!

“Dad, what about Jian Qing and the An Family?” Quan Hao, ever the worrier, looked to the family patriarch.

“Uncle An feels guilty towards Jian Qing, and she probably harbors resentment towards the family as well. This is not a situation that can be resolved overnight.” The family patriarch said.

Quan Hao’s eyes flashed with determination, “If Jingwu truly chooses Jian Qing, then she’s part of our Quan family and we can’t just let others bully her.”

Rhee completely agreed with her husband’s statement, looking at him with hearts in her eyes.

There was no doubt about it, her husband was as awesome as ever!

The family patriarch nodded, “Of course!”

“Ah!” As they were going through Facebook on her cellphone, Quan Yifei suddenly shrieked upon seeing something.

“Oh, you made me jump!” Lin Su knocked on her daughter’s head, slightly annoyed. “Can’t you be quieter?”

“Look at this, our third brother and Jian Qing are trending! Their pictures are all over Facebook.” Quan Yifei rotated her phone screen to show everyone the news on her feed.
