Chapter 136: You Are My Unspeakable Secret

sually emotionless face, and finally, in a soft voice, he said, "Don't let the baby know."Zhu XiaoWei first froze with a dull expression.She had heard him call her "baby" in that clear, low voice too...She's my domestic affair, and you have no business interfering.

A man sitting quietly on the sofa suddenly stood up, looked around at the group of people in front of him, and spoke in a cold and emotionless voice.

Qiaobao'er stood beside him. She found it strange that Jiang Meili, who had originally seemed so imposing, now looked flustered. She seemed to be quite afraid of her son.

The atmosphere was unusual. Everyone fell silent, lost in deep thought.

"...Come here."

Master Jun suddenly spoke in a deep voice, uttered a sentence, and then turned to walk towards the corridor.

Qiao Bao'er raised her brow slightly. She knew the old man was instructing Jun Zhi牧, but the man beside her showed no intention of moving.

"Shepherd of the people..." she tugged at his sleeve discreetly.

"Master ZhiMu, Grandfather has something important to discuss with you..."

Even the old butler on the opposite side couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

His stern face held a look of impatience, as if their return disturbed his peace.

This time, not only Jiang Meili is back, but Jun Zhiyan and Xia Chuixue have also returned to China.

Xia Chui Xue has always been good friends with him. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, she walked forward and smiled, "It's been over a month since we last met, Grandpa also wants to talk to you about some things, Zhi Mu just go have a chat..."

He glanced at Xia Chuixue before him, lightly pursed his lips, furrowed his brows, and turned to walk towards the corridor.

Qiao Bao'er stood still, watching his back, a faint, indescribable sense of loss in her heart.

"Little Xue, you can treat this place as your own home. And I'll go into the room with Zhiyan to tidy up." Jiang Meili had a gentle tone when speaking to others, but she didn't even glance at Qiao Baoer.

The maid led the returning mistress back, and the young lady went straight back to her room. In the living room, only Qiao Bao'er and Xia Chui Xue remained.

"Bao'er, it's been over a month since we last saw each other, your belly seems to have grown a lot," Xia Chui Xue greeted her with a smile, her actions naturally reaching out to take her hand, calm and composed, "Don't stand there, come sit down."

Jo Bao'er's expression was a little dull, she just nodded at her.

Suddenly, she felt like the guest.

"That... Xiaoxue, would you mind telling me what grandpa was busy with in Seattle for over a month" Qiao Bao'er hesitated for a long time before asking her in a low voice.

Summer Snow was asked, her pupils twitched slightly, and then a casual smile appeared on her face. "Didn't Zh牧 tell you" she asked back very naturally.

But when she said that, Qiao Baoer's mood plummeted.

Qiao Baoer didn't ask any further.

And Xia Chui Xue didn't speak again. She made herself a cup of tea, her slender fingers gently turning the precious and exquisite white jade teacup in her hand. Raising her hand, she drank it down.

"My business, none of your concern..."

At the east end of the corridor, a refreshing summer breeze carried a soothing and light fragrance. By the lotus pond, the water lilies planted there were in full bloom during this season. Their varieties were rare and precious, with noble purple petals and golden stamens, each blossom vying for attention and blooming vibrantly.

Master Jun, leaning on his cane, stood at the edge of the gazebo, gazing at the beautiful expanse of lotuses before him. A thoughtful look flickered in his eyes.

But the man standing behind him had no interest in admiring the lotus flowers, and impatiently repeated himself, "My affairs are my own concern, you don't need to..."

"In a few months, I'll be 81."

The old man suddenly turned, still with a stern and cold face, but the ravages of time were impossible to resist.

Master Jun's cloudy old eyes stared straight at him, this, the only grandson of the Jun family.

Jun's shepherd's eyes widened slightly. For a moment, he was met with the gaze of this already elderly man, and his heart felt heavy. He tightened his lips, suppressing a feeling of restlessness.

“Your mother... I agreed to her coming back.”

Perhaps it's because of age, there's always a desire to return to one's roots. And gradually, he has let go of his obsessions. He can now forgive those past grievances.

The past is gone, now...

"About Tang Yu, I know you feel guilty, but he's already recovered...As for you, I've already contacted a doctor in Seattle..."

"It's my business, you don't need to worry about it." He still refused coldly.

"Don't worry!"

The old man furiously hammered the floor with his cane, “Jun Zhi Mu, you have a bullet in your head, how can I not worry—”

Jun Zhimu's face darkened slightly, his eyes filled with conflicted struggle.

He didn't say another word, strode away, and left...

Qiao Bao'er returned to the bedroom, not knowing why her heart was a little uneasy. In the end, she couldn't make up her mind and had to take out her phone and open WeChat to bother Lu Qinan.

The Invincible Great Treasure: ["Grandpa called Jun Zhimu aside to talk, I don't know what they were discussing. Lu Qinian, do you know what Grandpa is busy with in Seattle"]

Lu Ge: {Don't worry about this.}

Qiao Bao'er clutched her phone, her brows furrowed in displeasure.

The Undefeated Great Treasure: "Why can even Xia Chui Xue know this, but I don't" She quickly sent a message.

Lu Qinan saw that she mentioned Xia Chuixue, and he was a little curious: {Is Xia Chuixue also at the Jun family now}

Qiao Baoer suddenly didn't want to go back to him. She stood by the window, her expression lost as she stared at the vast lotus pond in full bloom on the east side of Jun's courtyard, her heart feeling heavy.

Lu Ge: [Qiao Bao'er, stop messing around, okay Just yesterday we were already ruined by you. Don't tell me you're jealous now.]

Lu Qinan harbored deep resentment towards her, and Qiao Bao'er's emotions were easily predictable. He was truly afraid she would cause another scene.

Invictus Treasure: 【No.】

Qiao Baoer met Xia Chuixue five times in total. It wasn't jealousy, but every time she faced Xia Chuixue, she always felt a little uncomfortable.

Wudi Dabao: {Lu Qinian, tell me honestly, did grandpa staying in Seattle for so long have something to do with Jun Zhi牧 Is there something wrong with him... }

Click—

As soon as she sent her message, the door was suddenly flung open.

Qiao Baoer looked at Jun Zhimu before her, as if she was guilty, and immediately locked her phone screen.

"Oh, what's wrong"

She was surprised. He walked up to her, without a word, and suddenly hugged her.

He was tall and broad, his arms encircling her, making her seem rather petite. “ Qiao Bao’er…” he murmured, leaning down to rest his cheek against her shoulder with a weary air.

Her body was soft, his big hand stroking her hair, " Qiao Ba'er..."

He uttered her name, as if wanting to say something, but hesitated.

"Are you very tired Maybe you should lie down and rest for a while." She tilted her head, gazing at the fatigue in his brow.

She was well-behaved, at least she didn't argue with him or push him away. In Jun Zhi Mu's eyes, she was already very obedient today.

"...it's a bit tiring."

He really lay on the bed, closed his eyes to rest, but Qiao Baoer pestered him and made him keep her company.

Qiao Bao'er lay on her side, watching his brows furrow. She quietly extended her finger and gently stroked the space between his brows, hoping to soothe the inexplicable gloom that clouded him.

Actually, she really wanted to ask just now, what did grandpa say to you

But she held back.

He looked really tired, and she didn't want to add to his worries.tter now. His eyes, bright and piercing, were fixed on the woman at the door.Qiao Baoer's face couldn't help but become a little awkward, and she walked closer to the room.The entire Pei family was in...
