My Identities Were All Exposed After I Was Pampered by Everyone at My Grandfather’s House! - Chapter 160

160 Special Treatment

Qiao Ze looked at Qiao Jing unhappily, but Qiao Jing met his eyes with an indifferent gaze. Qiao Ze tsked and said to Qiao Yue, “Looks like we’ll have to watch it another day. Xiao Yue, it’s not because I’m listening to him. I’m doing this for you.”

Qiao Yue burst into laughter at Qiao Ze’s playful banter and nodded. “Yes, I know that third brother treats me the best.”

It was clearly a perfunctory remark, but it altered the three men’s expressions at the same time.

Qiao Ze was grinning from ear to ear. Qiao Yu snorted to express his dissatisfaction. Qiao Jing, who was standing behind Qiao Yue, stared thoughtfully at the person in the wheelchair.

“I’ll take Xiao Yue upstairs first. Qiao Yu, come to my study later.” Qiao Jing said as he pushed Qiao Yue toward the second floor.

!!
On the way upstairs, Qiao Yue could sense Qiao Jing’s bad mood but she couldn’t figure out what she had done to upset him.

After entering Qiao Yue’s room, Qiao Jing silently picked her up and put her on the bed. He then picked up a book from her bedside table.

“Brother, you!” Qiao Yue pointed at Qiao Jing with a trembling finger.

Qiao Jing looked up nonchalantly. “What’s wrong?”

Qiao Yue cleared her throat. “Brother, are you going to read some more?”

“Bedtime story,” Qiao Jing flipped through the book with his smiling eyes lowered.

Qiao Yue scrunched up her face. She really didn’t want to listen to it anymore. She had already heard this book twice during her last recuperation. However, her brother said that since she had heard it, she must have learned something and asked her to write it down.

Her brother had thought too highly of her. Even if she had an outstanding memory, she couldn’t play this game! She would have fallen asleep while listening!

“Brother, I don’t want to hear any bedtime stories. I’m going to sleep now. I’ll fall asleep in a second.”

Hearing this, Qiao Jing no longer wanted to hide the smile in his eyes and looked straight at Qiao Yue.

“Why don’t we try another book?” Qiao Jing picked up another book from the bedside table as he spoke.

Qiao Yue quickly held Qiao Jing’s hand and said, “Brother, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t we agree that there would be no more bedtime stories?”

The sudden soft touch on his hand made Qiao Jing’s body freeze, but he quickly recovered. He stared at Qiao Yue and said, “I don’t think I treat you well enough. I have to do better.”

“Huh?” Qiao Yue didn’t know what he meant and stared blankly at Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing proceeded to grab a book, but Qiao Yue seemed to be suddenly enlightened. She said quickly, “You already treat me well! Very well! In this family, brother is the nicest to me!”

“Oh? Really?” Qiao Jing cocked an eyebrow and leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed.

Qiao Yue nodded quickly and explained, “When I first came, brother reprimanded Qiao Xin because of me. You were worried that I didn’t have enough money and gave me a black card. When others thought that I would embarrass the Qiao family by attending Harvey, you believed in me. And then at the club…”

Qiao Yue didn’t think that she would remember so many nice things that Qiao Jing had done for her. But when she told him all these things, she suddenly realized that Qiao Jing had always been looking out for her silently.

He attended to her growth but never limited her. He knew that she had other identities, even the special ones. But he never made things difficult for her but getting to the bottom of these identities.

Qiao Yue lowered her eyes and said her last words, “Brother, in the Qiao family, you’re really the person who treats me best.”

Qiao Jing just wanted to tease Qiao Yue. Although he was a little unhappy when he heard Qiao Yue say that Qiao Ze treated her the best, it would seem petty if he made a fuss over such a small matter.

When Qiao Yue talked about him, he listened with a smile in his eyes. He didn’t expect Qiao Yue to remember everything so clearly. What surprised him even more was that he wasn’t even aware when he started paying so much attention to Qiao Yue.

Qiao Jing looked at the person sitting on the bed with a complicated expression. When Qiao Yue raised her head to look at him, Qiao Jing clearly felt his heart pound.

Qiao Yue’s eyes were so gentle that Qiao Jing felt his heart never calm down again.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted their locked eyes.

“Second brother, are you still in Xiao Yue’s room?”

Qiao Yu’s voice came from outside the door. Qiao Jing cleared his throat before he said to Qiao Yue, “Have a good rest. I’ll take my leave now.”
