Chapter 1349: Chapter 1344: Visiting Qin Hao’s Home
Walking out of the Imperial Courtyard, Qin Hao stretched and said, "I’m so tired."
"You’re not tired at all, sir. With such cute and pretty girls throwing themselves at you, you must be delighted."
Beside him, Qiao Jiaying said with a sweet smile, although her expression carried a hint of jealousy.
"Uh, Jiaying, don’t get me wrong." Qin Hao scratched his head sheepishly, "For me, this is a burden, not a gift. Jiaying, don’t you understand my feelings by now? I only like women like you who are intelligent, beautiful, fashionable, and elegant, representing the new era."
"Yeah, right!" Qiao Jiaying rolled her eyes. Knowing Qin Hao for so long, she was used to his outlandish style.
"Ha, you don’t believe me? Should I take out my heart and show it to you?" Qin Hao pretended to take out his heart, and when he saw that Qiao Jiaying was unmoved, he chuckled awkwardly, "My heart feels a bit cold today, maybe I’ll show it to you another day."
"Tch." Qiao Jiaying rolled her eyes and said, "Sir, stop pretending. You still have a crush on that Jin Ni’Er, don’t you?"
"Have a crush on her? I must be blind!"
Qin Hao began to complain, "Let me tell you, Jiaying, that big-breasted, brainless, poorly-proportioned, hormone-crazed, everyday PMS-ing silly girl, I avoid her like the plague. How could I have a crush? Ha ha..."
At this point, Qin Hao noticed that Qiao Jiaying’s expression was a bit off as if she was holding back laughter. And the Celestial Empress was looking over his shoulder, gazing behind him.
Why is the Celestial Empress looking behind me?
The thought just surfaced when suddenly Qin Hao felt a chill on his back, as if a murderous gaze was being aimed his way.
Instinctively, he turned around and saw Jin Ni’Er’s face twisted with anger.
Buzz!
Qin Hao felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that life was indeed tragic.
"I’m big-breasted, brainless, poorly-proportioned, hormone-crazed, and everyday PMS-ing?"
Jin Ni’Er forced a smile through gritted teeth.
"Uh...who said that?" Qin Hao feigned ignorance. Although he wasn’t afraid of Jin Ni’Er, she was still going to be a future teammate; it would be best to maintain a good relationship if possible.
Isn’t there a saying? Fear not the gods as your enemies, but fear your teammates who are as clueless as pigs.
What if Jin Ni’Er decided to be a pig teammate out of anger? That would be disastrous.
"Heh, nobody really, just an animal." Jin Ni’Er approached with clenched fists, looking like she wanted to skin Qin Hao alive.
"Yes, yes, an animal said it." Qin Hao shamelessly looked at the sky and laughed, "Let’s drop these pointless topics. The moonlight tonight is quite nice, oh, by the way, why are you following us, Ni’Er?"
"Don’t call me Ni’Er, and yes, the moonlight is nice, but it doesn’t look as pretty standing next to you. Lastly, I’m here because my grandpa forced me to, don’t get any funny ideas."
"Got it. So, Ni’Er, where are you planning to hang out later? Feel free to go, I won’t tell your grandpa."
"Unfortunately, my grandpa says I must spend three hours with you, and he has put a tracker on me. I can’t go anywhere else."
"Oh." Qin Hao felt awkward, and a headache was forming.
He glanced at Qiao Jiaying for help, but she waved her hand, "Sir, I still need to get back to the company."
"It’s so late, what company? Why not come over to my place and hang out a bit?" Qin Hao said nonchalantly. He thought, bringing Jin Ni’Er home would certainly spark a woman’s war.
With Qiao Jiaying, it would be different. After all, she is the Celestial Empress, and the vinegar jars at home wouldn’t suspect anything with her and me.
So, Qiao Jiaying could mediate.
"Is it really okay?" Qiao Jiaying was tempted. She had never been to Qin Hao’s place. Despite the light bulb Jin Ni’Er, the idea was still romantic and exciting.
Unconsciously, the Celestial Empress’s heart began to race.
"Nothing to worry about! You’re one of us, Jiaying!"
Qin Hao casually flagged down a taxi and sent Qiao Jiaying and Jin Ni’Er up, taking the passenger seat himself.
"So rustic, doesn’t even have a car." Jin Ni’Er complained non-stop once inside.
Qin Hao smiled without saying a word, while Qiao Jiaying blinked, feeling her heart flutter.
Soon, the car arrived at the apartment building.
Leading the two beauties to the building, Jin Ni’Er disdainfully said, "You live in this kind of place?"
Qin Hao looked up and saw that the apartment building, while not new, looked a bit dated due to age and nodded, "Yes, it’s a three-bedroom, one living room apartment. The rent is quite expensive."
"Loser," Jin Ni’Er muttered in disdain, fully entering nitpick mode after her earlier anger.
Any chance to criticize Qin Hao would not be easily passed up.
Qin Hao didn’t want to argue with her and nodded, "Let’s head up."
As they entered the elevator, Jin Ni’Er looked at Qin Hao, who was whistling in front, and said, "Can you stop whistling?"
"Uh," Qin Hao closed his mouth and laughed nervously, "Sure, I’ll stop."
"Hey, what a scoundrel, gramps even said you’re surrounded by beautiful women, keeping an eye on you."
Jin Ni’Er grumbled, "Seeing you now, you’re just a loser-like scoundrel. How could you possibly know any beauties?"
"Even if I don’t know other beauties, I know the Celestial Empress."
Qin Hao smiled and raised his eyebrows at Qiao Jiaying.
Qiao Jiaying felt very pleased by the compliment, saying bashfully, "I’m not a beauty."
Jin Ni’Er felt discomfort at the two exchanging glances.
Indeed, Qiao Jiaying was a beauty, the super beauty type.
There was nothing to criticize, so she said, "She’s your employer, you shouldn’t overthink it."
Before Qin Hao could respond, Qiao Jiaying immediately said, "No, I’m a friend of his..."
"Hmph!"
Feeling snubbed, Jin Ni’Er said sullenly, "You’re just sympathizing with him! To be honest, he’s probably only got you as a friend, contrary to what my grandpa said about him having many."
As she spoke, the elevator door opened, revealing a surprising face.
"Brother!"
Ah Sang stood there, delighted, holding a plastic bag.
"Uh, Ah Sang, what are you doing here?" Qin Hao was a bit surprised.
"I just went downstairs to take out the trash!" Ah Sang smiled sweetly, exuding charm.
Behind Qin Hao, Jin Ni’Er’s cheeks felt warm, her mind in turmoil: This loser knows a beauty like her? How puzzling!
