Quick Wear: Love still depends on two love brains

Chapter 395: Weak Stepsister vs. Wet Brother 13

Mo Qinghan's trembling gradually subsided, but he still held her hand tightly, as if he had grabbed the last straw.

He slowly opened his eyes, his pupils appearing unusually large in the dim light, filled with fear and confusion. He looked at Quan Jiuxi, his lips moving, his voice still hoarse: "Really... can we really get out?"

"Yes, definitely." Quan Jiuxi nodded vigorously, his eyes firm, "I just confirmed with them, ten minutes, at most the door will be open.

Look, the phone is still on, we're in the elevator, it'll be ready soon."

She deliberately mentioned the "elevator" to help him distinguish between reality and memories, but she was afraid of irritating him, so she spoke in an extremely cautious tone.

Mo Qinghan's gaze fell on the phone screen, then turned back to Quan Jiuxi's face.

In the dim light, her eyes were bright, as if filled with stars, full of pure worry and tenderness.

The fear in his heart was gradually dispelled by this tenderness, and the grip he held on her hand loosened a little, but he still refused to let go.

"You...why aren't you afraid?" Mo Qinghan suddenly asked in a low voice.

Quan Jiuxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled. It wasn't the deliberate gentleness from before, but a faint smile with a hint of helplessness: "Scared, of course I'm not afraid? If the elevator suddenly breaks down, everyone will panic. But if I panic, what will you do?"

She paused, then gently touched his cheek with her fingertips, "You need someone to be with you right now. I can't panic."

These words were like warm water, slowly flowing into Mo Qinghan's heart, soothing the stuffiness in his chest and dissipating some of it.

He looked into Quan Jiuxi's eyes and thought that her eyes were so beautiful.

Mo Qinghan leaned against her, listening to her gentle voice and feeling the warmth from her palm, and the fear in his heart faded away.

He even dared to close his eyes slightly, no longer thinking about the darkness and the small space, and just concentrate on listening to her voice - her voice was very nice, like a feather gently brushing against the tip of his heart, making him feel very safe.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps and voices were heard outside the elevator.

"This is the elevator! Quick, get the tools!"

The maintenance worker's voice came through the elevator with a reassuring power.

Mo Qinghan's body tensed up instantly, and he gripped Quan Jiuxi's hand even harder.

Quan Jiuxi immediately noticed his nervousness and quickly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, the maintenance personnel are here and will be able to leave soon."

She said as she patted his back gently to help him breathe more calmly.

"Attention everyone inside! We're about to open the door, and there might be some vibrations, so hold on to the handrails!"

As soon as the maintenance worker's voice fell, there was a slight vibration in the car. Then, with a light "click", the elevator door was slowly opened, and the light from outside poured in, illuminating the two people in the car.

"Great! It's finally open!" The maintenance worker breathed a sigh of relief and looked inside.

"Are you two okay? Come out quickly, it's safe outside."

Quan Jiuxi stood up first and was about to pull Mo Qinghan, but suddenly she felt a heavy figure falling on her.

Oh hoo.

Fainted again.

Mo Qinghan fainted twice in just one day.

When he woke up, there was only a dim light in the ward.

He subconsciously looked for Quan Jiuxi, but found that he was the only one in the ward.

He felt indescribable.

Isn't this what he wanted to see?

But why.

I feel so bad.

The door was pushed open and he looked over anxiously, only to see the driver, Lao Zhang.

"Master, how are you?"

"fine."

He looked behind the driver.

"Are you looking for Miss Quan? She has already gone back."

Mo Qinghan was about to retort, but didn't know what to say, so he turned over and got out of bed.

"Master, do you want to rest a little longer..."

"unnecessary."

...

What Quan Jiuxi was thinking in his heart was to give the other person's child some face.

A grown-up kid fainted twice in one day.

I didn't stay in the hospital because I was afraid he would be too embarrassed.

She took a look at the progress of the strategy, which was 30%, very good.

However, when she was happily eating her midnight snack, Mo Qinghan came back.

She clearly heard Xiaoyi's voice.

[Sir, the strategy progress has regressed to 25...]

Quan Jiuxi: "..."

Nima.

He can't eat and feels uncomfortable watching others eat?

Neither of them paid any attention to each other. Mo Qinghan went upstairs, and Quan Jiuxi angrily ignored him.

The two of them spent a week in peace and harmony.

The strategy progress remains at 27%.

.....

The crystal chandelier in the villa's living room reflected a warm yellow light. On the coffee table lay several paper bags printed with luxury brand logos. These were the souvenirs that Su Manli and Mo Zhenxiong brought back from their honeymoon.

Quan Jiuxi just took the pink velvet box handed to him by Su Manli, and his fingertips touched the raised brand logo on the box, and then he heard Su Manli say with a smile:

"Xiaoxi, this is the bracelet your mother picked out for you in Paris. You have fair skin, so it will look great on you."

Quan Jiuxi opened the box and found a delicate diamond bracelet inside, with the broken diamonds sparkling in the light.

A gentle smile immediately appeared on her face. "Thank you, Mom."

The market price of this bracelet is enough for her to buy half a stock. If she keeps it but doesn't use it, it will be more cost-effective to cash it in later.

Su Manli had long been accustomed to her well-behaved and sensible appearance. She waved her hand, sat back on the sofa, and took the teacup handed to her by Mo Zhenxiong.

Mo Zhenxiong looked at Quan Jiuxi, his tone full of concern for his elder: "How are you doing in school recently? Are your major courses difficult? If you don't understand something, tell your uncle, don't keep it to yourself."

"It's good. The teacher explains things in detail. If I don't understand something, I will ask my classmates."

As Quan Jiuxi spoke, he picked up the strawberries on the coffee table and gently pinched the stems with his fingertips.

The three were chatting when footsteps were suddenly heard at the entrance.

Mo Qinghan was wearing a black hoodie, with his hands in his pockets and his hair a little messy. It was obvious that he had just come back from outside.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the living room. His gaze paused for half a second on Su Manli and Mo Zhenxiong, then quickly passed by Quan Jiuxi. Without saying a word, he turned and walked towards the stairs.

"Qinghan!" Mo Zhenxiong's brows furrowed instantly, his tone filled with obvious dissatisfaction.

"Can't you see Daddy's back? Can't you even say a word?"

He had just returned from abroad and wanted to get closer to his son, but he didn't expect Mo Qinghan to still be so cold.

Mo Qinghan paused, but didn't turn around. His voice was as calm as boiled water: "Just stay alive."

These four short words were like a thorn in Mo Zhen's heart, making him so angry that he sat up straight in an instant, his fingers clenched on the armrest of the sofa.

"You!" Mo Zhenxiong's face flushed crimson, and he was about to explode. Su Manli quickly reached out and patted his back, whispering, "Zhenxiong, don't be angry. Qinghan just came back and might be tired. Let's talk it over nicely."

As she spoke, she winked at Quan Jiuxi, asking her to help smooth things over.

Quan Jiuxi put down the strawberries in his hand and was about to speak when he heard Mo Zhenxiong take a deep breath and said to Mo Qinghan at the stairs: "I have something to tell you. Your Uncle Jiang's daughter Yaya is going back to China next week. She just came back from abroad and is not familiar with this place. You should go pick her up and show her around."

Quan Jiuxi's fingers holding the strawberry paused slightly, and the strawberry juice on his fingertips was a bit sticky.

Almost at the same time, Xiaoyi rang in his mind: [Sir! Jiang Ya is the female villain in the book!]

She is the only daughter of the Jiang family. She returned to China as an exchange student and has liked Mo Qinghan since she was a child.

After returning to China this time, she will investigate the people around Mo Qinghan and believe the rumors outside, thinking that Mo Qinghan likes the heroine of the original book. After that, she often targets the heroine, and her methods are quite ruthless.

A hint of interest flashed across Quan Jiuxi's eyes - the progress of the strategy has been stuck at 27% for several days, and he was worried about not having a breakthrough, and this rival came at the perfect time.

She had never worried that Mo Qinghan would fall in love with someone else. To her, the so-called "rival in love" was nothing more than a "catalyst" in the relationship.

Mo Qinghan at the stairs didn't react at all. He just turned back lazily, frowned slightly, and said with a hint of impatience: "What duck?"
