Their expression made it plenty clear that they had misundestood.
Before Jun Yexuan and Qiao Qing could explain, He Wanqing had already pushed Mu Jinghang away from the door. Her well-taken-care of complexion was smiling bright like the spring suns.h.i.+ne.
"My daughter has a tough mouth but sure takes upright actions. She just acted like she was annoyed and in the blink of an eye, so much has developed!"

As she spoke, she covered her own eyes with one hand and the other hand reached for the door handle.

"Ah, we didn't see anything! You guys continue! Continue! Just don't go overboard!"
Then, she slammed the door shut with a "bang".
Qiao Qing, "…"
Jun Yexuan, "…"
After such a chaotic turn of events, Qiao Qing didn't feel like herself as she helped rebandage Jun Yexuan's wound.
Luckily, Jun Yexuan didn't joke around this time.
After they were done and went downstairs, they saw He Wanqing and Mu Jinghang look at them meaningfully.
Qiao Qing couldn't help but quicken her steps and got to the bottom of the stairs first.
He Wanqing pulled Qiao Qing aside and asked with high expectation, "How is it baby, how far have you gone?"
Qiao Qi rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, "Mom, you're overthinking it. Nothing's going on between us."
He Wanqing made an "I know you are embarra.s.sed and just don't want to tell me" face. Qiao Qing was speechless as she watched her mother.

At the same time, Mu Jinghang blocked Jun Yexuan's way by the stairs. In a whisper, he said, "Third brother, you sure move fast."
Jun Yexuan glared at him, secretly warning him.
Mu Jinghang touched his nose and was about to say something else when they heard He Wanqing call out to them.
"Time to eat." He Wanqing stood before them and was a little surprised. "You two sure get along well."
Mu Jinghang abruptly realized that his current relations.h.i.+p status with Jun Yexuan
"Yes, auntie. When we met, it felt like Mr. Ye and I have known each other for years."
Jun Yexuan's forehead bulged out and he forced back the desire to chop off Mu Jinghang's hand. Then, he nodded with a smile in He Wanqing's direction.
He Wanqing's smile immediately froze on her face. She pulled them apart then shoved Jun Yexuan towards Qiao Qing.
With a face that was full of caution, she stared at Mu Jinghang. "Are you interested in him? I called him as my son-in-law first!"

Mu Jinghang, "…"
Qiao Qing, "…"
Jun Yexuan, "…"
Mu Jinghang's lips parted and after being dumbfounded for a long time, he finally muttered out, "Auntie, I am male!"
"I know you are male." He Wanqing said, "It's not like I haven't seen what the world is like. There are so many same-s.e.x couples out there. Plus, our little Xuan has a face that can be appreciated by men and women."

Listening to how He Wanqing talked about him like he was a family member, Jun Yexuan stared at Qiao Qing and couldn't help but curl his lips.
Mu Jinghang felt like he had a mouth but couldn't talk enough to clear this up, "Auntie, I really don't like him like that. I just think he's easy to talk to. I am not gay!"
He Wanqing then questioned, "You swear?"

Mu Jinghang, "…"

"Mom!" Qiao Qing dragged He Wanqing to the side, "I'm hungry."

"Alright baby, let's eat." He Wanqing put a pin in this for now.
At the dining table, He Wanqing pointed to the seats across from her, "Baby, little Xuan, you two sit there."
Then, towards Mu Jinghang, she pointed to the seat furthest away from Jun Yexuan, "You sit there."

Mu Jinghang, "…"
Mentally exhausted!
After the food was on the table, Jun Yexuan lifted his arms and rolled up his sleeves. Then, he unfolded the napkin, placed the cutleries in their rightful spots, and picked up the chopsticks to begin eating…
They were the most ordinary movements yet when he did it, the movements looked so graceful it was like he was an honorable prince.
Everyone thought he was pleasant to the eyes and cheerful to the heart. With him present, the food tasted better and everyone felt like they didn't deserve to dine with him.
