Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Jealous?

He pushed the door open.

As soon as he entered, he saw Leng Qianqian still standing by the window, as if she was watching someone, hiding behind the curtain, with one hand parting a finger-width gap in it.

"Senior sister, those people are fine, why are you watching them?" Chen Wei asked with a resigned smile.

He placed the skewers he had cut with scissors into a bowl on the table, gestured to Leng Qianqian, and said, "I grilled some skewers for you, they’re not too spicy, want to have some?"

"Sure." Leng Qianqian dropped her hand and walked towards Chen Wei.

Seeing Leng Qianqian sit down next to him with no intention of raising her hand.

Chen Wei understood the hint and picked up the bowl and chopsticks, "Okay, okay, I’ll feed you, I’ll feed you."

"After all, I am an injured person," Leng Qianqian proclaimed with righteousness.

She began to enjoy being hand-fed by Chen Wei.

"How is it? Does it taste all right?" Chen Wei asked.

"Mmh, delicious!" Leng Qianqian nodded.

She then continued, "Weren’t you on bad terms with those girls before? How come you suddenly got so close to them?"

"That Lee Yoo-sim, even personally fed you skewers. I remember that among those five, her attitude towards you was the worst, almost treating you like a thief."

"Oh, because of some misunderstandings. Now that the misunderstandings have been cleared up and given that I did them a favor, her doing that was purely out of gratitude," Chen Wei briefly explained.

"Is that so..."

Sensing the doubt in Leng Qianqian’s eyes, Chen Wei smiled bitterly, "Senior sister, you’re not thinking there is something going on between them and me, right? I swear, I just treated their sprained ankles and grilled skewers for them, that’s all."

"I didn’t say that," Leng Qianqian focused on her New Orleans grilled wings, a flavor she very much liked.

Chen Wei looked at her skeptically and then, with a teasing glint in his eye, leaned in and asked, "Senior sister, you’re not jealous because I’m getting too close to them, are you?"

What was meant to be a joke, however, was met with a response from Leng Qianqian that Chen Wei did not see coming and was utterly unprepared for.

"That’s right, I am jealous!" Leng Qianqian said it decisively without any hesitation.

"Er..." Chen Wei was at a loss for words.

For a long time, his relationship with the senior sisters was more than lovers but not yet husband and wife.

But they all respected each other’s feelings and chose to maintain an ambiguous attitude.

No one punctured this relationship, thinner than a window’s film.

Except for that time on the island, with senior sister Su Yumei...

"Senior sister, you’re joking, right?" Chen Wei thought it best to say something to break the awkward silence.

"I’m not joking!" Leng Qianqian’s tone and expression were full of conviction.

"Why are you being so direct all of a sudden?" Chen Wei quickly found himself on the defensive.

Leng Qianqian was like a tiger closing in on him step by step.

"It’s because of this gunshot wound, I’ve seen through some things. After all, as an assassin, there are things that if not done in time might never have the chance!"

"Wei, do you know that at the moment I nearly died, all I had in my mind was regret," Leng Qianqian asked Chen Wei seriously.

"Regret what?" Chen Wei pressed.

"Regret..." Leng Qianqian almost blurted it out, carried by the mood, but because of the laughter of Lee Yoo-sim and Zhao Minshan coming from downstairs and the backyard, she stopped herself in time.

Chen Wei could tell she was still considering something.

"All right, senior sister, it’s getting late, you should rest well and recuperate. Tomorrow morning, once you’re feeling better, your junior brother will take you all around South Korea. Let’s relax a bit, how about that?" Chen Wei suggested.

"Hmm." Leng Qianqian was indeed a bit sleepy and, under these circumstances, there were some things she couldn’t say anyway.

But in her heart, she was resolute, she must speak before returning to the country.

After the incident at the abandoned factory, Leng Qianqian was truly frightened.

She wasn’t afraid of death, she was afraid of dying with regrets!

Afterward, Chen Wei picked Leng Qianqian up in a princess carry, laid her on the bed, and then covered her with the blanket.

Before leaving, he bent down, gave Leng Qianqian a light kiss on the forehead, and smiled, saying, "Good night."

"I’m not a child," Leng Qianqian said with her lips, but her heart was very happy.

Bang.

Gently turning off the light and closing the bedroom door, Chen Wei left the room.

He wasn’t very sleepy at the moment and wanted to watch some TV news, to catch up with what had been happening in Great Xia while he had been away, to see if there had been any incidents.

Turning around, he arrived at the railing of the second-floor hallway, only to see Zhao Minshan, Kim Nam Joo, and others who had eaten their fill, almost completely occupying the three-section couch.

From their posture, the words they were continuously saying, and the gestures of stroking their bellies, it wasn’t hard to tell how content they were.

Chen Wei didn’t avoid them and went to the living room, choosing an independent couch to sit on.

"Chen Wei, brother, I’m really thankful to you for letting me enjoy such a delicious meal," Zhao Minshan said first, expressing her thanks.

"Yes! Yes! I will remember tonight forever," Kim Nam Joo chimed in right after. "If possible, I really wish the chefs at our house could cook like you."

Chen Wei responded, saying it was too much praise.

"By the way, brother, where are you from?" Zhao Minshan always felt that Chen Wei didn’t seem like a local from South Korea.

"Great Xia," Chen Wei replied.

"Great Xia?!"

The five girls seemed quite surprised by this response.

"See, those news stories are deliberately slandering your people from Great Xia," Zhao Minshan said with a displeasure that couldn’t be faked.

"Oh? How are they slandering?" Chen Wei asked with a smile.

"They say that you’re uncivilized ancients who don’t like to bathe and are sloppy..." Zhao Minshan didn’t hide anything and told the truth.

Chen Wei just smiled faintly, not saying much.

"Now it seems that the reality is the exact opposite of what they say. I think it’s those narrow-minded men who are deliberately belittling you guys. Clearly, Great Xia has men as outstanding as you."

"..." For some reason, Chen Wei always felt like Zhao Minshan’s eyes were sending sparks his way.

Blink blink...

Was he overthinking it?

"If Chen Wei, brother, is an uncivilized ancient, then wouldn’t that mean our country’s men are nothing but uncivilized monkeys?"

"Hahaha, you’re absolutely right!"

They almost all took Chen Wei’s side.

"Speaking of which, just sitting around like this is pretty boring. How about we play a game?" Zhao Minshan suddenly suggested.

She stood up and brought over a backpack from the side.

"What game?" Kim Nam Joo, knowing Zhao Minshan well, was sure that girl couldn’t possibly have anything good in mind.

"Ta-da, the King’s Game!" Zhao Minshan pulled out a bunch of game-specific sticks from the backpack.

The sticks were numbered 12345... and so on, and there was another stick marked with the word "King" in red and adorned with a crown image.
