Chapter 162: Chapter 162
The garlic prawns at dinner were mostly devoured by Rong Qingqing and Shen Qiao.
Shen Qiao’s favorite dish is this one, and Rong Qingqing hasn’t had any meat for two days. She seldomly gets permission to eat seafood, and Nanny Zhao’s cooking is just too good, so she couldn’t stop herself.
Everyone at the table was already full and had put down their bowls and chopsticks, enjoying tea and fruits in the living room, while Rong Qingqing and Shen Qiao were still at the table feasting away.
Nanny Zhao watched and chuckled, "Now that Miss Qingqing has moved in, our house has become lively."
Guo Lan nodded, agreeing with Nanny Zhao’s remark.
She glanced at Shen Jue, who sat silently drinking tea at the side. It seemed that when Nanny Zhao mentioned Rong Qingqing’s name, his tea-drinking momentarily paused.
At least before, Shen Jue would go upstairs after meals and never stayed to drink tea.
With just Rong Qingqing’s presence, the house immediately became lively.
From the dining room, you could still hear the playful sounds of Shen Qiao and Rong Qingqing fighting over food. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩
When they fought over it, neither held back, especially going for the big pieces. While eating, they chatted and laughed, with Shen Qiao sharing everything that happened at school with Rong Qingqing.
When Rong Qingqing teased Shen Qiao, she was still sharp-tongued, but Shen Qiao just gave a little hum in response and didn’t get angry.
"They are like real sisters," Guo Lan laughed, "Now, the first thing Qiaoqiao does when she gets home is look for her sister Qingqing."
Lin Bufan secretly muttered to himself.
With Qiaoqiao and Rong Qingqing being so close, when Rong Qingqing gets married in the future, Qiaoqiao would be heartbroken, wouldn’t she?
After all, once Rong Qingqing gets married, she definitely wouldn’t have contact with Shen Manor anymore, maybe even avoiding contact with Shen Qiao due to avoiding suspicion related to her ex-fiancé, his boss.
The more Qiaoqiao loves her sister Qingqing now, the more heartbroken she’ll be when her sister Qingqing marries.
Lin Bufan glanced at his boss. Despite having such a fairy-like beauty as Miss Qingqing around, his boss remained uninterested, probably having cut off all emotional ties.
In the dining room, Rong Qingqing quickly snatched the last big prawn on the plate before Shen Qiao could, and with a smug expression, she showed off to the pouting Shen Qiao.
Except, halfway through her gloating, her smile froze on her face.
"New task released, take a fifteen-minute walk with Shen Jue in Lake Heart Park. Task reward: lifespan extended by 8 hours."
Suddenly, the garlic prawns didn’t taste as good.
"I’ll give it to you, I’ll give it to you." Under Shen Qiao’s watchful eyes, Rong Qingqing placed the peeled prawn into Shen Qiao’s bowl.
The little girl is indeed amusing.
Clapping her hands, Rong Qingqing went to the kitchen to wash her hands, then headed straight to the living room.
Seeing Shen Jue still in the living room, Rong Qingqing let out a soft "eh".
She hadn’t gone upstairs yet. Why was he still downstairs taking a breather?
"Shen Jue." Rong Qingqing walked over and gave a light smile, "Drinking tea?"
Shen Jue looked at Rong Qingqing, meeting her bright smile.
"Are you good at talking nonsense?" Shen Jue gently placed the teacup back on the table.
Rong Qingqing, slightly rebuffed by Shen Jue’s words, turned her face away and secretly rolled her eyes.
"Don’t talk to Qingqing like that," Guo Lan gently patted Shen Jue’s arm to remind him.
"It’s okay, Auntie, I’m used to it." Rong Qingqing turned her face back, dispassionately waved her hand, then moved to the other side of Shen Jue.
That was her wheelchair.
Rong Qingqing sat down on it, then moved a little closer to Shen Jue, whispering to him, "How about we go for a walk?"
Shen Jue’s expression didn’t change, but his eyelids twitched slightly.
