Qiao Jing turned his head to look at Qiao Yue. He had heard from Shen Yi today, but there wasn’t much information about Qiao Yue. He had investigated and found out that there’s a 60% chance Qiao Yue was connected to the internationally renowned KA group. However, the source of the information wasn’t reliable. He tried to find out more, but he couldn’t.

Sensing Qiao Jing’s gaze, Qiao Yue turned and looked into his eyes.

“Second brother, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?” Qiao Yue asked with a chuckle.

Qiao Jing looked at Qiao Yue, his eyes serious.

Qiao Yue was surprised by the stare. A person like Qiao Jing, who always appeared cold, would give you the illusion that he cared a lot about you when he looked at you warmly.

Qiao Yue felt uncomfortable being stared at. She blinked. “Second brother?”

“How have you been all these years?” Seeing that Qiao Yue was no longer looking at him, Qiao Jing also turned his head.

The two of them walked side by side, their shadows cast by the moonlight long.

Qiao Yue was silent at first, then she asked, “Second brother, why did you suddenly ask me this?”

Qiao Jing’s answer was as headstrong as ever. “I asked because I wanted to.”

Qiao Yue chuckled. “Not too bad. At least I’m still well and alive.”

Qiao Yue gave an ambiguous answer. Whether it was the fake experience she made up or the real life experience she had, this answer was correct.

However, what Qiao Yue didn’t pay attention to was the weariness in her eyes when she said this. Qiao Jing noticed the weariness on her face.

Qiao Jing was stunned for a moment. He suppressed the emotions in his eyes and gently placed his hand on Qiao Yue’s head. “You are home now. Just stay here in peace.”

Qiao Yue turned to look at Qiao Jing. Seeing the concern in his eyes, Qiao Yue couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

She had already survived those hard days, and her second brother’s worry came a little too late.

However, it’s always nice to know that someone cared about her.

Qiao Yue put her hand on Qiao Jing’s. Because he was not used to physical contact, Qiao Jing’s hand stiffened for a moment.

“Second brother, you’re so good to me. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll cling to you?”

The young man’s clear voice had a hint of frivolity.

“Will you?” Qiao Jing looked into Qiao Yue’s eyes and asked.

Qiao Yue’s beautiful eyes curved as she smiled.

“Why wouldn’t I? I’ve been on my own for so many years and now I have a family member who dotes on me. Who wouldn’t cling to that?”

With her positions at the organization and KA, there were many people who care about her, but they always had motives.

Chu Jia, Stone, and the others had turned from subordinates to friends, and they were also part of the organization. Their relationship was extremely complicated. As for Zhou Lan and Chen Qing, one had saved her life, and the other had helped her in her time of need. Their concern for her was sincere, but it was different from Qiao Jing’s.

So, among these people, she liked to hang out with Qiao Jing the most. He wouldn’t ask her for anything, and he wouldn’t let her feel responsible for his life.

Qiao Jing slowly withdrew his hand. Not taking it back immediately was already giving Qiao Yue face.

“Cling to me if you want to. I’ll protect you.” Qiao Jing stared into Qiao Yue’s eyes and said seriously.

Qiao Yue blinked a few times and doubted her own ears when she heard this.

Was Qiao Jing someone who would allow others to get close and rely on him?

In fact, Qiao Jing was a little surprised himself at what he said, but he would not go back on his word. From the first time they met when they disliked each other to Qiao Yue’s unscrupulous approach… Although Qiao Jing was not used to this younger brother at first, Qiao Yue didn’t avoid him like the others.

Qiao Yue was silent for a moment before she laughed out loud. “Brother, why are you so serious?”

Perhaps Qiao Jing’s attitude really tickled Qiao Yue, for she couldn’t help but laugh so hard that she couldn’t stand straight.

Amid Qiao Yue’s laughter, Qiao Jing’s handsome face blushed.

Just as Qiao Jing was about to leave, Qiao Yue said in a low voice, “If only I had met you earlier.”

Qiao Jing frowned slightly and looked at Qiao Yue in confusion. This brother of his had way too many secrets. So many that he wanted to peel his layers of disguise and see what the real person looked like.

The fireworks in the sky had stopped at some point and the night was quiet again. The chirping of insects rang out on the lawn and the night wind blew, making Qiao Jing feel a little warm for some reason.

“Brother, then I’ll rely on you in future.” The young man said in a clear voice.

“Alright.”

In the quiet night, Qiao Yue heard the answer from the person opposite her.
