Chapter 702: Just a Confession
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Liu Manhong went into Qiao Yanjue’s place, she took a seat on the sofa by herself, looked at the two of them, then slapped the table with astonis.h.i.+ng momentum.
“Give me a clear explanation!”
Qiao Yanjue and Xia Xibei glanced at each other, then sat across from Liu Manhong.
The sofa across the table was not big, so it was easy and comfortable for one person to sit, but it was quite crowded for two.
They both sat on the same couch, their bodies pressed together.
This scene made Liu Manhong almost roll her eyes.
“When did you guys get together?”
Half a month ago, there was nothing going on with them, so how come they were suddenly together?
“Last night,” Xia Xibei answered docilely.
She was worried that Liu Manhong would be angry with her when she saw the two of them together. Little did she know that Liu Manhong’s anger was directed at Qiao Yanjue.
This made her heart a little warm.
“Last night… Last night?!” Liu Manhong widened her eyes and jerked to her feet, almost charging over again.
Qiao Yanjue understood Liu Manhong’s thoughts and immediately shouted out, “We just confessed our feelings!”
Qiao Yanjue’s words caused Xia Xibei’s face to blush.
Only then did Liu Manhong stop.
“Just confessed your feelings? You didn’t do anything else?”
“Of course not!” Qiao Yanjue nodded without changing his face.
He couldn’t tell the truth about everything, could he? Besides, they didn’t do anything too out of line.
Liu Manhong looked at Xia Xibei.
“Really?”
“Yes!” Xia Xibei blushed, but still nodded.
“That’s good.”
Liu Manhong sat back again, but a miserable scream suddenly came out from under her b.u.t.tocks.
“Awwww!”
Liu Manhong stood up in shock, looked back, and laughed out of frustration.
It turned out that when she had stood up just now, King Chu took advantage of her inattention and slipped onto the sofa.
When she sat down, she almost crushed King Chu, scaring the dog into jumping down from the sofa.
“You silly dog!” Liu Manhong laughed and patted the dog.
Distracted by King, the whole atmosphere became a lot lighter and the tension dissipated a lot.
Liu Manhong sat back on the sofa and looked at them with a relaxed expression.
“Well, give me a good explanation.”
“There’s nothing to explain.” Qiao Yanjue’s expression was bland. “It’s just that we’ve been boyfriend and girlfriend since last night.”
His tone was very calm, as if it was just a small thing and not worth much excitement.
This would have been more convincing if he hadn’t been holding Xia Xibei’s hand and not letting go.
Liu Manhong sneered, then looked at Xia Xibei with a much gentler expression.
“Beibei, tell me. Did he force you?”
Xia Xibei froze for a moment and hurriedly shook her head. “No! Why would he force me?!”
She should say that she forced him to confess.
“Really?”
“Really.” Xia Xibei nodded emphatically, and although her face was a little hot, she still answered firmly. “Brother Jue is very good to me.”
Liu Manhong breathed a sigh of relief but still frowned. “But, if your fans know you’re in love…”
“It’s not like we need to announce it to the world.” Qiao Yanjue spoke up. “We’ll be careful not to get caught on camera. After a few years, when her career is more stable, we’ll announce the relations.h.i.+p.”
Liu Manhong raised her eyebrows.
“Oh, in a few years? You could get dumped by Beibei in a couple of years, right?!”
Qiao Yanjue’s face darkened and he whispered in warning, “Sister Hong!”
Was she even his aunt, cursing their relations.h.i.+p?!
