Chapter 60: Joke
After dealing with business, Qiao Lian saw this scene and chuckled. “King really treats you differently. In the past, except for me, he didn’t let anyone get close to him.”
“No way. King is clearly a very clingy and obedient cat!”
Yu Yao did not believe him. She rubbed King’s furry cat face and nuzzled him intimately. King even stuck out his tongue and licked her face. It was ticklish, and Yu Yao shrunk back and couldn’t help but laugh.
The assistant placed King’s litter box, food, and some other toys in a suitcase. After the King saw his property, he seemed to understand something. He meowed coldly at Qiao Lian and buried his head in Yu Yao’s arms.
Qiao Lian sighed lightly and walked over to scratch King’s chin, but King agilely dodged him. King even arched his back and hissed at Qiao Lian. It seemed he was really angry.
Yu Yao quickly hugged King in her arms and coaxed him gently. “Don’t be angry, King. We’ll ignore him…”
After coaxing King into her embrace, Yu Yao looked at Qiao Lian in confusion. “What did you do? Why is King so hostile towards you?”
“This smart guy probably figured out that I’m going on a business trip. When he saw that the assistant was packing up for him, he thought that I was going to take him overseas again.”
Qiao Lian sighed helplessly. He squatted down and looked at King who was being hugged by Yu Yao in her lap. His tone was gentle and doting. “Good King. I won’t take you there this time. Stay by this sister’s side obediently. She’ll take good care of you.”
“When did I become King’s elder sister?” Yu Yao chuckled as she protested. “Don’t lower my seniority and pretend to be my elder.”
“It’s just a title. You’re so young, do you want to be called an aunt instead?” Qiao Lian shook his head and chuckled. “Besides, I don’t like to just take advantage of people verbally.”
Sitting to the side, Yu Jue watched their natural and intimate exchange and his heart rose to his throat. Later, he noticed that although their words were suggestive, their physical actions were not overly intimate. Only then did Yu Jue barely suppress the urge to step forward and pull Qiao Lian away from his sister.
Hearing Qiao Lian say this, Yu Jue finally couldn’t bear it anymore. He interrupted in an unfriendly tone, “What do you mean, Mr. Qiao? You don’t like to take advantage of others verbally? Are you saying that you prefer to take advantage of others in other ways?”
“Hmm…” Qiao Lian glanced at Yu Jue, and the corners of his mouth turned up into a faint smile. “It looks like Third Young Master Yu knows me very well. Compared to speaking cheaply, I want to obtain some substantial benefits. It’s just that I haven’t succeeded yet.”
“You shameless punk!” Yu Jue shot up from the couch and glared at Qiao Lian. “I won’t let you play with my sister’s feelings!”
“Really? Now you’re acting like a brother who cares about his younger sister?”
Qiao Lian was clearly implying something. Under his meaningful gaze, Yu Jue also recalled the scene when he had saved Yu Yao from the entrance of the mental hospital. His initial righteous accusation towards Qiao Lian instantly lost its place.
Yu Jue’s expression was somewhat ugly. Yu Yao was also worried that this guy who didn’t play by the rules would suddenly flare up and beat up Qiao Lian. The fight being filmed by the cameras was a small matter. More importantly, Qiao Lian was a dangerous guy. Yu Yao didn’t want Yu Jue to walk in vertically and leave laying down horizontally.
Hence, Yu Yao interrupted, “Third Brother, I told you before that Mr. Qiao and I are not what you think. He didn’t play with my feelings.”
Then Yu Yao looked at Qiao Lian reproachfully. “And you, stop teasing my third brother. He can’t tell that you’re joking.”
“Really? I’m so sorry.” Qiao Lian shrugged and said, “I thought that Third Young Master Yu had a better sense of humor.”
Yu Jue gritted his teeth and forced a smile. “So Mr. Qiao is joking. I overreacted. But in the future, Mr. Qiao, you shouldn’t joke like this carelessly. You’ll easily be put in a sack and beaten by a girl’s brother or father.”
Qiao Lian nodded politely. “Thanks for the reminder. I don’t think I’ll joke like that with other girls anymore.”
Did that mean he would only do this to his sister? Not only was Yu Jue not appeased, but his expression became even more gloomy. He had to rely on his powerful self-control to not launch an attack on Qiao Lian.
Qiao Lian didn’t continue to tease Yu Jue, who was about to explode from anger. He looked at the time and said to Yu Yao, “I should go to the airport. I’ve sent you the things King is used to using. But you don’t have to be too cautious, King has always been in good health. Under normal circumstances, nothing should happen to him.”
“No matter what, I’ll help you take good care of him.” Yu Yao raised King’s two claws. “Your Majesty, Brother is leaving. Come and say goodbye to Brother…”
