Chapter 127 Balancing the Relationships

The moment Qiao Suluo was kissed by Que Hongjin, she felt his breath and her body trembled slightly involuntarily.

The scent of cedarwood emanating from him was so pleasant and intoxicating that she couldn't help but be captivated by it.

Her fingertips involuntarily tightened around the lines of his clothes, and she looked up at him in response.

Worried that she would get tired, Que Hongjin reached out and lifted her up while kissing her, then pressed her against the door.

Que Hongjin exuded a powerful aura, engulfing her like a raging storm.

At this moment, Qiao Suluo's eyes were glazed over, making her inexplicably endearing.

Que Hongjin's breathing became hot, and her lips were filled with suppressed sighs.

When Qiao Suluo couldn't breathe, she made soft, gurgling sounds. Only then did Que Hongjin reluctantly let go of her and hold her tightly to calm her breathing.

Qiao Suluo looked at Que Hongjin with her watery eyes, and could see the restraint in his expression. "Are you alright?"

Que Hongjin looked at her with reddened eyes, her breathing disordered, and said, "What does my wife say?"

"If you really care about me, would you stay with me tonight?"

Qiao Suluo's temples throbbed; she was afraid that if she agreed to Que Hongjin's request, they would start fighting when they went out.

She also needs to find a way to prevent everyone from fighting and to balance the relationships.

Que Hongjin reluctantly kissed her lips again, greedily inhaling her scent, "My wife is truly heartless."

Qiao Suluo quickly explained, "No, I want to find out about the Qin family's affairs tonight. Today, when I went grocery shopping with Chu Moyuan, I ran into Qin Siyan..."

Qiao Suluo recounted what Qin Siyan had said and done.

"Qin Siyan will definitely not let this go, so let's find out about this matter first and get rid of this threat from the Qin family."

Que Hongjin gently stroked her hair. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

If he were still the young master of the Peacock Clan, he could easily deal with the Qin family.

But now that people like the Qin family are threatening the wife, Que Hongjin felt a surge of resentment, her cold glint fully revealed.

He harbored murderous intent, but let his wife resolve things this way if she so chooses.

Seeing the look in Que Hongjin's eyes, Qiao Suluo reached out and hugged his neck, leaning against him with a sense of dependence. "I hope you're happy, and I also want to use my own strength to protect you all."

Although she is not strong enough now, she will work hard to become stronger.

Hearing these words, Que Hongjin's heart melted like a pool of clear water.

"As long as my wife is by my side, I will be happy."

In his heart, nothing and no one is more important than her.

Qiao Suluo smiled sweetly and said, "Of course I will always be by your side."

Looking at the smile on her face, Que Hongjin felt all the fatigue of the day disappear.

Only his wife could make him relax involuntarily.

Que Hongjin said gently, "Aren't you hungry? Let's go out and eat first."

"okay."

After Que Hongjin brought Qiao Suluo out of the room, Chu Moyuan and Bai Qianluo glanced at Que Hongjin and naturally knew what he had done.

However, they would not do anything to displease the wife.

"My lady, the skewers are all ready."

Qiao Suluo and Que Hongjin sat down together and said, "Then let's eat it wrapped in small pancakes."

Qiao Suluo took out the sauce packet and seasonings and taught everyone how to eat it.

This way of eating is quite novel, but once you taste it, you'll realize how delicious it is.

The aroma of meat mixed with the fragrance of soy sauce and scallions permeates the smoke and fire. You only know how the aroma explodes on your tongue when you take a bite, with a flavor that stimulates your taste buds. You want to take another bite after the first one.

Whether it was Que Hongjin, Bai Qianluo, or Chu Moyuan, they were all once extremely noble, eating and using the finest things, and dining at the capital's number one restaurant was the most common thing for them.

They had eaten all kinds of meat dishes, but none of them had ever been prepared in such a delicious way.

Even the meat Qiao Suluo had grilled in a stone pot before wasn't this delicious. Qiao Suluo ate the small pancakes wrapped around the grilled skewers and found it very tasty; she really enjoyed eating it this way.

"This is the taste! It's delicious. How do you guys like it?"

"good to eat."

"The wife always manages to make fresh food, which is delicious that we have never tasted before."

I don't know where she learned how to make these foods.

Que Hongjin and Bai Qianlu knew that she was not the original body, but they had never known or asked where she came from.

"If you like it, I'll make it often, or I'll make some other delicious food."

"I'll brew some more wine when I have time later. It's delicious to have some wine and barbecue."

Que Hongjin listened quietly to these words, and he realized that he had come to enjoy life with his wife by his side.

Now, everything about the Peacock family seems very distant to him.

Qiao Suluo also enjoys the feeling of the whole family gathering together in the yard to have a barbecue while enjoying the breeze.

There's a feeling of slow, relaxed rhythm.

While eating barbecue skewers, Qiao Suluo thought about making some fried chicken later, as crispy fried chicken is also delicious.

Chu Moyuan was slightly surprised, "My wife knows how to brew wine?"

He knew she could cook all kinds of delicious food, but as far as he knew, the skill of brewing wine was mastered by some aristocratic families.

Qiao Suluo nodded and said, "Yes, but brewing wine takes time."

"When I have free time, I'll brew wine for everyone to drink."

She had made fermented rice wine before, which was a low-alcohol rice wine, but Chu Moyuan wasn't there at the time.

Chu Moyuan looked down at Qiao Suluo, his eyes growing increasingly deep, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Everyone enjoyed the meal and was quite full.

After finishing their meal, Qiao Suluo and the others grilled some more skewers, packed some into two baskets, "one for Tu Shan Feishang, and the other for Gu Songlan and the others."

"Who will deliver this to Tu Shan Feishang?"

Que Hongjin said, "I'll go. I'll fly there; it'll be faster."

Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan accompanied Qiao Suluo to Gu Songlan's place.

When Dong Qing saw Qiao Su Luo, he was so amazed that he didn't even recognize her. "Miss, who are you looking for?"

“Holly, it’s me, Qiao Suluo.”

Dong Qing stared wide-eyed in surprise before snapping out of her daze. "Miss Qiao, you've lost so much weight! I almost didn't recognize you."

“Miss Qiao, the dumplings you made yesterday were so delicious. Not only did my young master love them, but Young Master Yue also ate his entire portion.”

He felt that Yue Hanzheng was just being hypocritical; he clearly liked to eat, but when Miss Qiao came, he deliberately gave her a cold shoulder.

Qiao Suluo exchanged pleasantries with Dong Qing with a smile before being led inside.

After Qiao Suluo met Gu Songlan in the backyard, she took out the barbecue from the basket.

When Gu Songlan saw Qiao Suluo, she was also stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting that she had lost so much weight in just one day.

Seeing Dongqing's expectant look and smelling the aroma of the food, and thinking of Qiao Suluo's culinary skills, he couldn't bring himself to refuse. He could only say softly, "Miss Qiao, if you have any medicinal herbs you like, please feel free to take them."

Qiao Suluo said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't come to get the medicinal herbs. Young Master Gu already gave me quite a lot of them yesterday. I mainly want to ask Young Master Gu some questions today."

Those medicinal herbs allowed her to exchange for a lot of points in her spatial dimension, and also made her lose weight all at once.

Qiao Suluo was still very grateful to Gu Songhan.

Gu Songlan personally invited Qiao Suluo and the others to sit down and poured them tea before speaking in a clear and gentle voice, "Miss Qiao, please feel free to ask whatever you wish to ask."

Qiao Suluo went straight to the point: "I heard that your father treated Young Master Qin's health before. I wonder if Young Master Gu knows about Young Master Qin's health condition?"
