Chapter 563: Chapter 552: Is Qiao Jing Actually a Farmer?

"What exactly is your relationship now with that guy from last time? I remember you had only a hundred-day marriage contract; why are you still together?"

Qiao Jing could feel the anxiety in Lin Yun’s tone as he spoke.

What surprised her even more was that this rascal, Lin Yun, asked her this question without saying anything about her being deceived.

She pursed her red lips and answered Lin Yun truthfully.

"The contract did end, but we renewed it for another hundred days because of some issues."

Lin Yun quickly followed up on Qiao Jing’s words.

"Even if you did renew the contract for another hundred days, that time should have passed by now, and you’re still with him. Either you’re out of your mind, or you’re a naive girl being completely fooled by someone."

Hearing Lin Yun’s familiar style of taunting, Qiao Jing rolled her eyes subtly.

She had expected this rascal to say nothing pleasant.

But one thing puzzled her, why was Lin Yun so concerned about her affairs?

Wasn’t this rascal usually uninterested in anything other than taunting others?

Seeing Qiao Jing silent, Lin Yun took it as an affirmation of the latter.

"You better not tell me it’s the latter, are you trying to anger me to death? How come you’re not as smart as you used to be before, when you were fighting me? You’re only good at fighting me, huh?"

A child who had been quietly eating skewers and watching Qiao Jing and Lin Yun with starry eyes suddenly spoke up.

"Brother Lin Yun, don’t worry, my master won’t be deceived, my brother really likes my master."

Upon hearing Zeng Xiangyang’s words, Lin Yun instantly frowned and looked at Qiao Jing with a face full of disgust.

"What exactly is going on? Qiao Jing, since when did you become so love-struck? Can you tell me?"

Now, he wasn’t angry at all, but rather jealous of the person who could be so close to Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing slightly furrowed her brow and explained to Lin Yun.

"For now, we’re just trying things out."

She was merely giving Zhan Qipei a chance, but to Lin Yun, it sounded like she was love-struck.

Lin Yun became even more upset and asked sarcastically:

"So what work are you doing now?"

Qiao Jing hesitated for a moment before answering Lin Yun’s question.

"I’m working in agriculture."

Although she didn’t specify, her work was indeed related to agriculture.

So answering Lin Yun in this way wasn’t really deceiving him.

Lin Yun paused in confusion.

Agriculture?

Doesn’t that mean working the land?

If Qiao Jing’s job involved working the land every day, wouldn’t it be both tiring and tough?

How could Zhan Qipei bear to let Qiao Jing engage in such labor?

Lin Yun felt especially sympathetic towards Qiao Jing, but due to his pride, he was too embarrassed to say it directly and had to find another way to express it.

"Do you still remember the last time I told you to come and play eSports with me?"

Qiao Jing nodded slightly and gave a faint "Mm" in response.

"What’s wrong?"

Lin Yun clenched his teeth, almost spitting out each word from his mouth.

"Didn’t I play a game with you before? Later, I went back and talked to the manager, found the replay of the game we played, and he said he’d love to have you come to the club to play games. He asked me to see what you thought? I can help you make connections, so don’t turn me down!"

If it weren’t for his many years of friendship with Qiao Jing, he wouldn’t have helped.

He was merely reluctantly helping Qiao Jing, no one else received such treatment.

Qiao Jing pursed her red lips and almost without hesitation, she refused him.

"No need, I am very satisfied with my current job and not considering joining professional competitions. Besides, I’m just an amateur player who has only played a few games; how could I possibly compete?"

She really liked her current jobs and was very satisfied with both.

As for other opportunities, she hadn’t considered pursuing them and didn’t have the energy to take on so much more.

Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Zeng Xiangyang immediately put down his kebab, looking aggrieved.

"Master, don’t wound me. When you say you’re an ’amateur player,’ it really hurts my feelings. If you’re an amateur, then what am I? A noob’s noob??"

He had watched many live streams of big streamers and professional players because he really liked Honor of Kings.

Comparing those streamers and most professional players with Qiao Jing, who had only played a few days, their game sense and hand speed weren’t even close to Qiao Jing’s.

That’s why he was somewhat excited about what results Qiao Jing could achieve if she became a professional player.

Qiao Jing, feeling helpless, glanced at Zeng Xiangyang and shoved another skewer of kebab into the child’s hand, hoping to keep him quiet while eating.

"You should know that I’ve only played a few games, I might not even count as an amateur, just a newbie."

What she said was all true, plus she had no interest in the eSports circle.

She was just managing to cope with the research institute and Wonderful Hall; adding anything more would definitely be too much for her.

Moreover, Old Master Han had previously wanted her to inherit his mantle, which she also refused. The third son wanted her to enter showbiz, which she also refused. So, it was not about whether her ability was strong or not, but simply that she couldn’t manage it all.

Zeng Xiangyang sighed deeply, picking up the kebab Qiao Jing had handed him, and murmured:

"Master, you should know Lin Yun’s club never recruits females, and now they’re willing to accept you because your skills are strong enough. Otherwise, they wouldn’t consider it."

He had a feeling that if his master were to compete, she would definitely become a dark horse in the eSports circle.

After hearing Qiao Jing’s refusal, Lin Yun frowned deeply, looking incredulous.

"Qiao Jing, I’ve made the connections for you, and the club is willing to take you in, so why won’t you join? Isn’t earning money from competitions much easier than earning money from farming? Our club even made an exception to recruit a female, and you still refuse?

And there aren’t any fields in Imperial Capital City; you have to go to the countryside to farm. Hasn’t Zhan Qipei taken care of you? How can such a big Zhan Family let you end up farming?"

He simply couldn’t understand why Qiao Jing was giving Zhan Qipei a chance, descending to the backbreaking, tiring, and dirty work of farming and yet not divorcing!

He felt that Qiao Jing was just trying to infuriate him!!

Qiao Jing hadn’t expected that her mention of "working in agriculture" would turn into farming in Lin Yun’s mind.

Although she did indeed need to plant and harvest corn when she was in the countryside, she no longer needed to now, and Lin Yun had completely misunderstood her intentions.

She really wanted to crack open Lin Yun’s skull to see what he normally thought about.

Working in agriculture turned into farming?
