345 Post-drinks
“But if he lets my daughter down, I’ll make him pay.” Su Xun continued.
Qiao Jing lowered his head and smiled. “I understand. You really love your daughter.”
The two of them clinked glasses in implicit understanding.
The three of them chatted about other things for a while with Qiao Yue being a little drunk already.
Her face was red, and she was slurring her words. “The gun that Colonel Su gave me is really good. I used it to defeat them today. Hehe, second brother, I was amazing, right?”
Qiao Jing smiled and took away her drink. “It’s time to stop.”
Qiao Yue frowned at Qiao Jing. “Why are you stopping me? Don’t stop me. Colonel Su, can I join your organization? I want to kill that Andy! Kill him!”
“My fifth brother is drunk. I should bring him back to rest.” Qiao Jing nodded at Su Xun while he scooped Qiao Yue up in his arms.
Su Xun opened the door and followed Qiao Jing to Qiao Yue’s room.
“I hope you will protect her.”
Qiao Jing glanced at Su Xun and said, “Colonel Su, you don’t have to say anything more. Fifth brother is also my family. I will always protect my family.”
Su Xun shook his head and smiled. “I can see how you feel about her, so I hope you’ll take care of her. I can’t do much about the organization but I don’t want her to live an unhappy life.”
Qiao Yue fell into deep sleep in Qiao Jing’s arms.
The two men stood face to face in the quiet corridor.
Qiao Jing smiled. “It seems that I was right. Colonel Su is indeed a man with regrets and conviction.”
Su Xun sighed and nodded. “I hope that my daughter will never know this. I also hope that I can keep the family’s secrets from her forever.”
“How long will you be staying in Hanshan City this time?” Qiao Jing asked.
“Three days,” Su Xun replied.
“I see.” Qiao Jing nodded. “The charity team from our company will also be here for three more days. You are welcome to join us for the next three days.”
Su Xun raised his head and looked at Qiao Jing, his eyes filled with gratitude.
“Thank you,” Su Xun said.
“You are welcome. I want her to be happy too.”
With that, Qiao Jing carried Qiao Yue into her room.
Qiao Yue opened her eyes slightly, probably because of the sudden change in environment.
Qiao Jing was helping her take off her shoes.
“Second brother, are we done? I haven’t had enough yet.” She stretched lazily and sat up. She took Qiao Jing’s hand and said, “I want to drink some more.”
“You can’t. You’ve had quite a lot to drink today.” Qiao Jing stroked Qiao Yue’s head.
Qiao Yue was probably quite drunk as she fell into Qiao Jing’s arms. “No, I want to drink some more. Let’s go drink.”
The girl’s arms wrapped around Qiao Jing’s waist, and a strange desire climbed up from below his waist.
Qiao Jing grabbed Qiao Yue’s hand and slowly put her back in bed, “No, you’re not allowed to drink anymore, understand?”
Qiao Yue pursed her lips and looked at Qiao Jing with dissatisfaction.
“No, I want to drink some more. Let’s go and chat with Colonel Su. It would be so great if Colonel Su was my father…” Qiao Yue’s voice suddenly lowered, “If he’s my father, I wouldn’t be so sad. Does my father still miss me? If only he is alive.”
Qiao Jing sighed. “If he’s still alive, he’ll love you too.”
He didn’t intend to tell Qiao Yue what he had discovered.
In fact, he already knew everything during their last operation. He just didn’t say anything for Qiao Yue’s sake. Now was not the time to tell her these things.
He patted Qiao Yue’s head. “That day will come. Don’t worry.”
“Is my father really still alive?” Tears flowed down Qiao Yue’s cheeks.
“Yes.” Qiao Jing nodded and reached out to wipe away the tears on Qiao Yue’s face.
“You will definitely meet again.” Qiao Yue wiped her tears and reached out to hug Qiao Jing, burying her head in his arms.
Qiao Jing’s body froze as he felt the warmth and fragrance of the girl in his arms. He knew that it was inappropriate, but he didn’t push her away.
“Second brother, I’m really sad.”
Qiao Jing sat down slowly and held the crying Qiao Yue tightly in his arms. “It’s alright. I’ll always be your family. Always your family.”
Qiao Yue raised her head slowly and looked at him with her large eyes.
