The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 628 - 590 Gossip

"The potion I secretly took out is at Gu Yao’s place in Jin City. The things I memorized are at his place in Capital City," Chen Xi said.

Qiao Yuxian swallowed her throat, unable to speak for a moment.

Chen Xi said, "I followed your instructions and can remember the way even when blindfolded. I know where I am now."

Qiao Yuxian’s eyes moved slightly.

Chen Xi was smart and learned things quickly.

Back then, they communicated in secret, and she taught her how to recognize the route blindfolded, just through messages on her phone, and she learned it.

And teaching her that was to get her out of Gu Yao’s grasp, to help settle matters with Gu Yao.

But after she learned it, she didn’t tell Qiao Yuxian.

Instead, she chose to stay by Gu Yao’s side, collecting more things.

At that moment, she not only wanted revenge for herself and her sister but also wanted to avenge those unavenged people.

"I’m just not sure if the things I memorized are useful," Chen Xi said. "I can only read chemical formulas. But as for what they are, I have no idea. My knowledge of chemistry is stuck at a high school level. Many things were memorized by rote, not sure if they’re right."

"Okay, I’ll go get them," Qiao Yuxian said.

"When are you guys going back?" Chen Xi asked.

"We’re planning to head back in the next couple of days," Qiao Yuxian said. "We’re almost done here in Jin City, but there’s a pile of things waiting in Capital City. Don’t worry, there are people outside guarding this place, and the ones taking care of you can be fully trusted."

"It’s fine, I’m not afraid," Chen Xi said.

Qiao Yuxian smiled and said, "Take care of yourself, once you get a bit better, we’ll move to Capital City."

"Okay," Chen Xi knew there was no point in refusing, so she simply agreed.

"I’ll come to keep you company whenever I have time," Qiao Yuxian said.

"No need to run back and forth, I’m fine," Chen Xi said.

Qiao Yuxian smiled but said nothing more.

After chatting for a little longer, once Chen Xi fell asleep, Qiao Yuxian left.

Gu Yanjing had been waiting outside the ward the whole time.

When she walked out, apart from Gu Yanjing, there was another person outside.

Qiao Yuxian didn’t know his name, but she had seen him once.

The last time they came to Jin City, Yu Heng was injured, and he was the doctor treating Yu Heng’s wound.

The last time she saw him, he was wearing a stern expression.

Qiao Yuxian thought he was just grumpy from waking up, as he was dragged out in his pajamas.

Now it seems that’s not the case.

This time, he wasn’t in pajamas, dressed quite brightly, looking very young, but still wearing a stern expression. It seemed like... he purely just didn’t like Gu Yanjing.

Qiao Yuxian glanced at Gu Yanjing, but before she could speak.

The stern-faced man was the first to speak, "Hello."

Qiao Yuxian glanced at Gu Yanjing again, seeing his emotions unchanged, she looked at the stern-faced man and said, "Hello, I’m Qiao Yuxian."

"Mo Bei," the stern-faced man said.

"Ah," Qiao Yuxian nodded, then looked at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing touched her head, held her hand, and asked, "Shall we head back?"

"Yes," Qiao Yuxian nodded, glanced at Mo Bei again.

Gu Yanjing said, "He’s coming with us."

"I’m hitching a ride," Mo Bei said.

"Oh," Qiao Yuxian smiled, walking ahead with Gu Yanjing.

Mo Bei followed behind.

After walking a few steps, Qiao Yuxian looked back and then whispered, "Mr. Gu, are you sure he’s really safe? I feel like he might ambush you halfway."

"He won’t," Gu Yanjing pinched her fingers and said, "Rest assured."

"What did you do to provoke him? To make him hate you so much," Qiao Yuxian whispered again.

"He hitched a ride from me," Gu Yanjing said flatly.

Qiao Yuxian raised an eyebrow, "So you’re saying it’s just my misconception that he dislikes you?"

"Yes," Gu Yanjing said.

A question mark popped up above Qiao Yuxian’s head, thinking: Is someone playing tricks on me?

Qiao Yuxian’s intuition wasn’t wrong, but although Mo Bei held a grudge, they weren’t ambushed along the way.

Moreover, Gu Yanjing took him directly to their apartment in Jin City.

After Gu Linhai and the others were caught, they all moved into the apartment.

After getting out of the car, Gu Yanjing pulled Qiao Yuxian by the hand, heading for the room, barely acknowledging the presence of Mo Bei behind them.

Mo Bei didn’t stand on ceremony, casually wandering into the living room.

But the moment he entered the living room, and saw Tang He sitting there, he paused, and the next second, turned around to leave.

Qiao Yuxian just came out of the restroom after washing her hands and saw him turning to leave: "Hey?"

"Huh?" Lin Huai Shu was sitting on the sofa with his back to the door, saw nothing. Hearing Qiao Yuxian, he looked in the direction she was staring.

Saw nothing.

"What’s wrong, sister-in-law?" Lin Huai Shu asked.

"Uh... that... Mo Bei..." Qiao Yuxian said, "He’s gone..."

"Huh? Mo Bei?" Lin Huai Shu looked at the door again and then reacted, glanced at Tang He sitting opposite him, "Ah, Mo Bei. It’s normal that he left."

"Huh?" Seeing Lin Huai Shu glance at Tang He, Qiao Yuxian’s interest intensified, "Hmm? What’s up? Is there something juicy?"

Upon hearing her ask this, Tang He got up and left.

As soon as he left, Qiao Yuxian’s eyes filled with gossiping stars. She watched Tang He leave the living room and quickly sat on the sofa: "What’s the deal? What’s happening between them?"

Lin Huai Shu looked at her, chuckled, and said, "Sister-in-law, you’re too excited about this gossip."

"Quick, tell me, what’s going on?" Qiao Yuxian grabbed a file from the coffee table, rolled it a couple of times into a makeshift microphone, and handed it to Lin Huai Shu.

Lin Huai Shu smiled at her, glanced towards the backyard, and said, "Where’s Yanjing?"

"Hmm?" Qiao Yuxian paused, growing more excited, "Even Gu Yanjing is involved?"

"Uh..."

"He’s in the back, making a call, won’t be back soon," Qiao Yuxian explained.

Lin Huai Shu chuckled, "It’s not a big deal. Mo Bei was basically raised by Tang He."

"And then?" Qiao Yuxian pressed.

"And then... towards Tang He, he’s..." Lin Huai Shu looked at Qiao Yuxian, giving a knowing look, "Sister-in-law, you get it, right?"

"Oh, I get it perfectly," Qiao Yuxian laughed, "With my voice acting studio, our audio dramas have such variety and high sales; our male CVs are so professional."

"Exactly," Lin Huai Shu laughed, "but Tang He doesn’t feel that way. He even left him in the country for Yanjing to take care of."

Qiao Yuxian chuckled, asking, "Then why does Mo Bei bear such hostility towards Gu Yanjing?"

"Uh..." Lin Huai Shu hesitated, "According to unreliable rumors... Tang He might have feelings for Yanjing..."

"What?!!!" Qiao Yuxian was shocked, "No way, no way! I never noticed that!"

"That’s why it’s an unreliable rumor," Lin Huai Shu said, "but Mo Bei is convinced by it, hence why he doesn’t like Yanjing and is vexed with Tang He, refusing to see him. Initially, Mo Bei was supposed to stay in Capital City, but he insisted on coming here."

Qiao Yuxian fell silent, rubbing her chin, and after a while, she said, "But now that you mention it, it seems... Tang He does treat Gu Yanjing differently from others."

"Does he?" Lin Huai Shu asked, "I don’t think so. I assumed Mo Bei spread the rumor."

"He does," Qiao Yuxian confidently replied, "He has a lot of hostility towards me!"

"It seems he only acts different towards you," Lin Huai Shu said.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, "So why do you think he behaves differently towards me, having such hostility towards me?"

Lin Huai Shu looked at her, caught on, and then fell silent...
