Chapter 14 (2/2)

On his way up the stairs, Jun Yexuan wished he was at least eight meters away from Mu Jinghang.

Once they reached the room, Jun Yexuan’s expression darkened right away, “You did all this to yourself?”

Mu Jinghang squeezed out some pitiful tears. “I didn’t plan on this, third brother. I originally just wanted to look a little bit miserable.”

“Who knew that on my way here, I unintentionally passed by a meeting point of the beggars. They thought I was here to steal their business so a group of them chased after me and hit me!”

“When I was trying to run away, I accidentally bumped into a dog cage and broke it. So I was pursued by several giant dogs for many blocks!”

“Luckily, my leather shoes are sturdy, which is why I survived. Third brother, I almost didn’t get a chance to see you again!”

Then, he walked up to ask for consolation.

Jun Yexuan backed away in disgust, “Your life isn’t strong enough to handle inching any closer to me. Get the hell out of here and go clean yourself up!”

“…” Mu Jinghang remained silent.

Inside the study room.

Qiao Qing turned on her laptop and her fingers tapped away on her keyboard.

After a series of movements, she stared at the text on the screen and her gaze turned a whole degree colder.

Just as she was about to take a drink out of her cup, her gaze solidified and her fingers thumped against the table, “Come in!”

Just then, a shadow flipped inside from the open window.

Qi Feng had his arms behind his back and he smiled, “Ms. Qiao, you are getting sharper and sharper.”

Qiao Qing ignored his sucking up and said coolly, “Where’s my necklace?”

Qi Feng coughed gently. “Ms. Qiao, our Sect Leader kept your necklace.”

At those words, Qiao Qing squinted her eyes. Qi Feng gulped and quickly extended his hand, palm side down, and then placed a jewelry box on her desk.

“However, in exchange, the Sect Leader asked me to give you this.”

Qiao Qing lowered her gaze and looked at the small and delicate jewelry box.
