1730: Brothers Meet

Brothers Meet

Soon, Qian Yanjue arrived.1

As they had not seen each other in a long time, the two good friends were locked in a tight, sentimental embrace.

After the excitement had died down, Qiao Yanjue introduced the two to each other.

"This is Qi Xibei," Qiao Yanjue said proudly to Han Rui. "Bei, this is my bro, Han Rui."

The two glanced at each other and responded with a nod.

Han Rui had already removed his disguise. 

It was obvious that his disguise was made up of various weird cosmetics. 

If one had looked closely, they could see that his face was covered in many layers of powder. Removing such a disguise would take a lot of time.

While waiting for Qiao Yanjue to arrive, Han Rui had borrowed Xia Xibe's bathroom to remove his makeup. Without the disguise, Han Rui's skin was visibly rough and not in a great condition.

Even though a rugged man like him didn't need such delicate skin, his skin still looked a bit too rough. 

Moreover, it would cause significant damage to his skin in the long run.

Seeing Xia Xibei staring at his face, Han Rui frowned and asked warily, "What are you trying to do?"

Xia Xibei shrugged innocently, "What can I do?"

"Your gaze..." Han Rui shook his head, "It's a little scary!"

Interrupting their conversation, Qiao Yanjue said, "Alright, I've been worried sick about you not coming back. Iif it wasn't for Bei, your sister wouldn't be as relaxed as she is now."

Han Rui solemnly turned to Xia Xibei and said, "Thank you for your help! If it weren't for you protecting Chuo, she would have been taken away by now."

Although he was abroad, he had heard about these things already. If Han Chuo had been taken away, he would have been constrained as well. 

Moreover, those people were insane, and he didn't know what they would do to Han Chuo. If she was hurt, he would never forgive himself.

"You're welcome," Xia Xibei shook her head. "Han Chuo is my friend too."

Seeing how generous she was, Han Rui laughed, "I finally understand why Qiao likes you!"

Only girls like her deserved Qiao Yanjue.

They had previously talked about what kind of girls would be suitable for Qiao Yanjue. 

At that time, however, they did not reach any conclusion, as many girls had pursued Qiao Yanjue and had been rejected. 

They all thought that he might end up alone.

However, now that he saw Xia Xibei, he realized that she was the perfect type for Qiao Yanjue!

Independent and capable girls like Xia Xibei would indeed win Qiao Yanjue's favor.

"Right." Qiao Yanjue wasn't embarrassed at all as he put his arm around Xia Xibei's shoulder. "She's my precious baby."

Han Rui couldn't help but shiver with goosebumps.

Was this really the same Qiao Yanjue he knew? How absurd!

Han Rui rolled his eyes, "Do Huo and the others know how you are now?"

"Of course," Qiao Yanjue said unapologetically. "They've all met Bei."

Han Rui's expression soured. It seemed that Qiao Yanjue had bothered the others too.

Nevertheless, now wasn't the time to discuss his love life and personality. 

After a few moments of banter, Qiao Yanjue asked, "Have you sorted it out?" 

Han Rui's face turned serious as he shook his head and said, "Not yet."

At the mention of this matter, Han Rui's face became solemn, and he looked worried.

"Not yet?" Qiao Yanjue's expression wasn't too great either. "What on earth is going on?"
