Chapter 1407: Chapter 769: Those Days of Living Together

Qing Chen mused, "Da Yu..."

Yangyang looked at Qing Ji, "Uncle Qing Ji, how many more people does Qing Chen have to meet this afternoon?"

At that moment, Qing Ji’s phone buzzed with a message. He looked up at the two girls, "No need for any more meetings, all the following appointments are canceled."

"Huh?" This puzzled Yangyang and Qin Yiyi, "Why?"

The next second, outside the hotpot restaurant, a mute servant hurriedly entered holding a wooden box. He approached Qing Ji, gesturing in sign language, "A gift from the old master for the two girls."

Qing Ji, after a glance, was taken aback, accepted the box, and said to the servant, "Go back and see the boss, tell him I know what to do now."

Qing Chen watched him as if he were speaking in riddles, "What riddles are you speaking now?"

Qing Ji solemnly opened the wooden box, "These are two little curios collected by Qing Chen’s mother before she passed, quite interesting."

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment, mother?

In his life, the only mother figure had been the woman named Zhang Wanfang, yet he had never seen his biological mother.

Somehow, the items in the box stirred emotions within him.

Yangyang and Qin Yiyi looked inside, discovering a pair of jade finger rings, each one as lustrous as imperial green.

What was peculiar was that the sizing of typical finger rings was made for men, yet these two rings were delicately crafted and wouldn’t seem out of place on a girl’s fingers.

Qing Ji handed the one on the left to Yangyang, the one on the right to Qin Yiyi, "Take them, although the boss hasn’t met you two yet, this is his present for you, he likes you."

"Aren’t they too valuable? If these two jade rings hit the market, each could probably sell for over a billion," Yangyang said.

Qing Ji shook his head with a smile, "They’re not real jade, they’re taboo objects split from a pair of sisters. Yangyang, yours is called Taboo ACE-104, ’A Leaf Blocks the Eyes.’ If you cover your eyes with your hands, no one can detect you, even if you’re standing right in front of them. You’re a Field System Awakener, so you naturally don’t need to open your eyes while flying. With this, you won’t have to worry about any phased array radar."

Qing Ji then looked at Qin Yiyi, "Yours is called Taboo ACE-105, ’Plugging One’s Ears While Stealing a Bell.’ If you plug your ears, no one can hear the sounds you make, sonar equipment can’t find you, and the cries of those you kill won’t be heard. Fire Pit is adept at jungle warfare; the leaves and weeds in the jungle are both your best friends and greatest enemies. No matter how good your stealth is, their rustling will betray you, so this is perfect for you."

"What kind of odd names are these..." Qing Chen muttered.

The Qing Clan House Master’s wife owning two intriguing taboo objects is normal. Given the corporation’s financial and human resources, finding a few taboo objects isn’t difficult.

But gifting taboo objects directly as greetings? Only the Knight Organization and Qing’s Family would do that.

Yangyang said, "If they’re taboo objects, they’re more valuable than jade."

Qin Yiyi agreed, "Indeed, jade has a price, but taboo objects are priceless, especially those suited for oneself."

Qing Ji said, "No need to be polite, the old master gave them to you..."

Before he could finish, he saw Yangyang and Qin Yiyi already wearing their respective rings. Yangyang extended her hand in front of Qin Yiyi, "Does it look good on me?"

Qin Yiyi nodded, "It looks great, your skin is already fair, and the green makes it look even fairer, it suits you. But it looks just okay on me, my skin’s too dark..."

Yangyang beamed, "It looks good on you too!"

Only then did Qing Ji realize his courtesy was unnecessary with these two girls...

Neither of them were the type to be overly polite!

Qing Chen asked, "What kind of person was my mother?"

"Your mother had a bit of a temper," Qing Ji said with a smile, "People from my generation, like your brother, were quite afraid of her."

Qing Chen was taken aback, thinking he’d have a gentle biological mother.

Even when he searched through his Memory Palace, he had never seen a trace of her, as if the moment he opened his eyes, she was already gone.

Qing Ji recounted, "Aunt was a particularly decisive person. The old master didn’t like talking, didn’t like the sun, didn’t like going out, a real homebody. Aunt would forcibly drag him out for sun and walks... Back then, the old master was already the Family Head. I was his personal guard, and whenever I saw Aunt approach the old master’s cottage, we’d discreetly avoid them. For this, the old master had scolded us many times, saying we didn’t protect him properly. Back then, the old master wasn’t as silent as he is now."

Suddenly, Qing Chen asked, "When did he become like this?"

Qing Ji glanced at Qing Chen, "After Ning Xiu passed away."

Qing Chen fell silent, not expecting this answer.

If this is the case, could the Qing Clan House Master still be the suspect in his sister-in-law’s death? It’s still uncertain, and it’s possible Qing Ji might be covering it up with lies.

"How did my mother die?" Qing Chen asked.

"Your mother always had a weak heart. After Xiao Zhun was born, her health declined," Qing Ji said. "She had a heart transplant that lasted over a decade, but when she was pregnant with you, the doctors said her heart couldn’t handle childbirth, but she still didn’t abort you."

Qing Chen said calmly, "Enough."

He’d grown accustomed to life without family ties; he could live just as well without a father or mother. Qing Guozhong and Zhang Wanfang were just people he had forgotten and cut off from his life.

Besides Qing Zhun, Qing Chen had given up all illusions of familial affection, but Qing Ji now told him that his mother risked her life to bring him into the world.

He found it hard to accept.

Qing Ji said no more, turning to the two girls with a smile, "There will be no more meetings. I’ll adjust your and Qing Chen’s schedule, and until the plan is ready, you’re free to do as you please. Oh, there are also two unlimited black cards from Qing’s Bank for you. Whatever you buy, we’ll cover it."

"That’s unnecessary, I have money now," Qing Chen stood up and said.

Yangyang and Qin Yiyi smiled, pushing the black cards back, "We’ll listen to Qing Chen."

"What do you plan to do next?" Qing Chen asked. "Where do you want to go, I’ll go with you."

"To buy clothes," Yangyang said cheerfully, "We both only have this one set, staying here for over ten days without a change of clothes won’t do."

In the afternoon, Qing Ji did not accompany them. Qing Chen went with the two girls to the mall, watching them visit over a hundred stores without getting tired.

When they found clothes they liked, they tried them on, then spun out of the fitting rooms like princesses in front of Qing Chen, asking if they looked good.

Both girls were natural fashion models, leaving Qing Chen dazzled.

However, apart from the dressing, the two walked hand in hand ahead, ignoring Qing Chen...

Qing Chen suddenly realized that even an A-Class expert can get tired shopping with girls...

By the evening, Qing Chen said, "The best hotel in City 5 is called Cloud Top. I’ll take you there now and pick you up tomorrow morning."

Yangyang tilted her head, looking at Qing Chen, laden with clothing bags, "Where are you staying?"

"I’m staying in the small house, over thirty square meters, left by my brother. It’s only one bedroom and one living room; it won’t accommodate you," Qing Chen said.

"Who says it won’t fit," Yangyang said. "The two of us can share the bed in the bedroom, and you can sleep on the sofa."

Qing Chen: "..."

Are we already starting a cohabitation life?
