Chapter 412: Like a Newly Returned Bride

, but I know you've longed for a family ever since you were little, with no parents like everyone else. Don't pretend anymore."Guan Lei married Pei Haoran directly after graduating from university. Sh...Go back home.

When Qiao Baier stepped through the gate of Jun's main house, her heart was still a little off. Although she had lived here for over a year, her mindset was different. When she first moved into the Jun family, she looked forward to the day the child was born so she could leave, just like finishing work and walking away.

Now Junzhi's herdsman called her home, and she felt like a true member of the Jun family. There was an inexplicable nervousness about it, as if a new daughter-in-law had just entered the house.

"What are you thinking"

The herdsman beside her noticed her frown, and his low voice suddenly asked.

The driver opened the car door. Qiao Bao'er didn't look at him and got out of the car quickly, her tone a bit stiff, "Nothing."

"Master Zhimu, Mistress, you're back."

The large group of houses was managed by Auntie Fang, who immediately smiled and came forward to help them carry their gift bags upon seeing their return. "How are Mrs. Qiao and the others doing Did everything go smoothly on your trip back"

At first, I was worried that their young master and Qiao Bao'er would encounter many twists and turns when they went back to the Qiao family. Seeing them return together so quickly, I felt relieved.

Qiao Bao'er looked around and first asked, "Have the housekeeper and grandpa come back yet"

Before they came back, Master Jun went to visit his old friend out of the blue and has been gone for days now.

Fāng Dāmā had a knowing smile in her eyes. "The old man called back last night to ask about you both. He's probably coming back in a couple of days."

Joe Bao'er felt a little strange, but with the eldest one gone, she was more at ease.

She pointed to a gift bag of tea, "This is tea given by Chen Cha to grandpa, I don't know if grandpa likes to drink it..."

"Grandpa would love this." Fang's mother said excitedly, eager to respond.

"Oh."

Jo Bao'er still maintained her usual aloof demeanor.

"Let's rest at Dongyuan first, and I'll go arrange for dinner..."

Fang Da Ma rushed into the main house with an excited expression, carrying several large bags of gifts. She hurriedly grabbed the phone as if she was busy reporting to someone.

Junzhi Mu saw that she looked contemplative. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "Grandfather is afraid that you will be uncomfortable coming back to see him." The old man went out and dared not come back.

Jo Bao'er was stunned, "Afraid of me" Her mind couldn't catch up for a moment.

> “He who has done wrong feels guilty.”

Jun Zhimu's voice was calm and he unhesitatingly betrayed his own kin. Before Qiao Ba'er could react, he took her hand and walked towards Dongyuan.

Qiao Bao'er was dragged away without resistance, her mind racing as she thought back.

Those old grievances, the last time she saw the old man, they parted on bad terms. Strictly speaking, she was kicked out of the Jun family back then.

"Angry"

Jun Zhi's gaze drifted to her, his eyes fixed intently on the silence of her profile. To see her obediently allow herself to be led by him stirred something unusual in his heart.

"What" she looked up at him, startled.

Jun, the shepherd, saw her dazed expression and a faint smile flickered in his deep eyes. “What are you thinking about” he asked. She just sat there all day, lost in thought.

"Don't look at me like that," she said, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Qiao Bao'er hesitated for a moment, a little awkwardly. "You tell Grandpa... I'm not angry." She wouldn't dare to be angry with the old man.

Jun Zhi Mu stared at her intently. He knew she wouldn't be angry with Grandpa, just like he had done so many things to hurt her before, hadn't he counted on this woman being soft-hearted and not holding a grudge

Jun Zhi Mu's heart was touched. He suddenly reached out and put his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close to him, and continued walking forward with her.

Jo Baoer was a bit uncomfortable with his sudden proximity to her. He had always been very aloof towards everyone, unlike Lu Qinan and those other wealthy young masters. Jun Zhimu wouldn't make any small gestures towards women, he was just an ice block. Holding hands was already quite remarkable.

Suddenly, Qiao Bao'er discovered something.

Counting it up, Jun Zhimu doesn't seem to have many romantic relationships. He seems quite shy when it comes to love affairs.

Of course, she wouldn't ask him directly, lest she be reprimanded on the spot.

After returning home, Qiao Bao'er immediately took her phone to call home and report safety.

"I'm back home at Joe's."

She was on the phone with her aunt.

"Grandpa wasn't at the Jun residence... Children Jun Zhi Mu told me to take a bath and nap first before going to the nursery. He said he would wait until his son was full before playing with them, otherwise they would cry..."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Ruyue listened to her speaking and laughed, "I didn't realize our little treasure was so obedient to her husband."

qiao Bao'er blushed and retorted in a low voice, "Who is obedient."

Gu Ruoyan was very comforted and earnestly educated, "As long as you can get along well with Zhi Mu, we won't worry about anything. In a marriage, mutual respect and understanding..."

Suddenly, Qiao Wenyu's voice came urgently, "…Don't teach her about mutual respect and understanding. Tell her to go find trouble with Jun Zhimu!"

"Oh, come on, Qiao Wenyu, just stop it. We just want them to get along peacefully and happily..."

On the phone, someone excitedly shouted, "You watched your niece grow up yourself, and you still expect her to be virtuous and well-behaved You don't know she's a goofball..."

What! Her dad actually called her a ditz.

She's both stupid and foolish, now that Jun Zhi Mu is good to her, can he please only be with her for the rest of his life

"Not all wealthy families are so corrupt. Jun Zhimu doesn't seem like the kind to start a relationship and end it carelessly. I think he's quite good to Bao'er..."

Qiao Bao'er remained expressionless, listening to the cacophony on the other end of the phone.

Turning her gaze to the man in the dressing room, who was just now tugging at his tie, Junzhi Mu felt his eyes meet hers. He lowered his deep-set eyes slightly, as if asking, "Is something wrong"

She didn't tell him that her father still had a problem with him. She mouthed to him quietly, "You call Grandpa back here."

Jun, the shepherd, raised his eyebrows and, surprisingly willingly, took his phone from his hand.

We just came back from Joe's house.

It's very rare for Jun to take the initiative to call his grandfather, and he does so with a calm and businesslike tone, as if it were a commercial negotiation.

On the phone, Grandpa seemed very pleased. He had just hung up from a call with Aunt Fang reporting on something, cleared his throat, and put on a serious face before asking, "Did Bao'er bring me some tea leaves"

"That was Gu Ruyue forcing her to bring it back to you." Jun Zhimu told him the truth in a flat tone.

Suddenly, Master Jun's face turned half black with anger.

It means Qiao Baoer didn't take him seriously at all, he just overthought it.

Junzhi's shepherd continued to connect with his grandfather, "You drove her away from the Jun family back then, and now she feels uncomfortable seeing you." He paused, his tone serious, "Grandpa, stay outside for a few more days, let her calm down for a while, and then come back."

Beep beep...the call ended.

Mr. Jun was clutching his phone tightly, his face turning ashen with anger.

"Grandpa, shouldn't we head back to Jun's place for dinner"

The old housekeeper has been accompanying the master at a villa outside the city for refuge these days. Just after receiving a phone call from Madam Fang, he was overjoyed and started packing his belongings to head back home.

Master Jun sat on this antique golden nanmu armchair, grabbed his phone and slammed it on the tea table. He roared angrily, "Go back in a few days!"

The old butler looked confused, "Didn't the young mistress bring you some aged tea She's so filial, she wouldn't..." be vengeful.

After all, they had been together for a year. They probably knew Qiao Bao'er's temper well. Although she was bold and willful, she shouldn't be angry with the elderly.

Master Jun's face was dark with anger. He snarled, "I think I'll just stay here and wait to die, I won't go back anymore. Each one of you has grown wings and thinks I'm an old nuisance in the way. You even dare tell me not to come back..."

The old butler quickly interjected, “Master, Qiao Bao’er's temper is just like the late Madam's. Even if she really throws a tantrum and says something hurtful, it's certainly unintentional. She has a tough exterior but a soft heart, don't you agree”

"When did I ever mention Qiao Baoer," Old Master Jun tightened his old face, gritting his teeth, "That wretch, just wait and see how I deal with him when I get back."

The old butler was relieved, it turned out to be the young master Qi and Master Zhi's disagreement.p. Shortly after, a commotion could be heard from outside the elevator, accompanied by sobs and cries of sadness. Someone shouted frantically, "Get out of the way, all of you..."A metal bed frame was...
