Free Web NovelChapter 1267: Chapter 1264: Big Brother’s Man
"Little Nine, do you really have to rush back so quickly this time?" Liu Keqing asked, glancing at the photos on her DSLR with satisfaction and giving the photographer a thumbs up, then leading Bi Xia to change into a new outfit. "We originally planned for a whole day’s schedule, but you insisted on cramming it into half a day. I can’t tell who’s more tired, you or me."
Bi Xia smiled as she watched Liu Keqing pick out outfits for her. "I can’t help it; I’ve got too much on my plate. Taking a break means delaying some tasks."
"I’m not saying you should, but you’re still young, so take care of yourself first. Just the X Group’s subsidiary companies alone give you several to manage. If you’re not tired, I’m tired for you."
"It’s not that bad," Bi Xia accepted the clothes Liu Keqing handed her, leaning against the table. "Chi’s company was originally his; it’s just under the name of X Group. He actually manages it himself. Honestly, he might be working harder than me. I hand over a lot of things to him, so sometimes I end up being a hands-off boss."
"It’s not just Chi," Liu Keqing chuckled helplessly. "You’ve also got Zi’an and Yi’an. Have you forgotten about them? Now one’s in Beijing and the other’s in Gushui Town."
Bi Xia laughed too. "How could I forget those two brothers? I’m just worried that if I keep them apart for too long, they’ll blame me."
Liu Keqing raised an eyebrow, looked around to make sure no one was nearby, and whispered gossiply, "Little Nine, be a good girl and tell me—are Zi’an and Yi’an a couple?"
Bi Xia: "... Hahaha!! Sister Keqing! I never thought you were a fujoshi!"
Seeing Bi Xia burst into laughter, Liu Keqing pouted, having gotten the answer she wanted. "You can’t blame me—whenever they call, at least nine out of ten sentences mention the other. It always makes me feel like the third wheel."
Listening to Liu Keqing, Bi Xia laughed again. She understood the feeling; in her past life, every call with her brothers was like this. She even once wondered if they were a couple and told them, "I would definitely bless you two," only to be met with laughter. Yet... in her past life, neither seemed to have had a girlfriend...
"Actually..." Bi Xia stroked her chin, speaking thoughtfully, "Though they haven’t admitted it, I sense a deep bromance between them. But if they don’t say it, there’s nothing we can do, right?"
Liu Keqing shrugged. "True, it’s really hard to figure them out."
Bi Xia smiled and cheekily pointed at Liu Keqing, "Instead of worrying about them, Sister, maybe you should focus on yourself. I heard your childhood sweetheart is back? And he’s a famous designer. You two could form an invincible duo."
Liu Keqing: ...
"Oh, shush!" Liu Keqing rolled her eyes. "If I could, I’d smack you. Really, don’t joke about that—nothing’s going on between us."
Bi Xia feigned seriousness, nodding, "Mm-hmm, nothing at all."
"Hey!" Seeing Bi Xia’s expression, Liu Keqing laughed out of frustration. Suddenly, she paused and teasingly said, "I just remembered—someone on Weibo recently claimed they have a boyfriend!"
Bi Xia: ...
Surprised that Liu Keqing turned the tables on her, Bi Xia laughed helplessly. Without further ado, she openly admitted it and handed her phone to Liu Keqing, showing her a picture of her and Qin Zhan. "Look, aren’t we a perfect match?"
Liu Keqing took Bi Xia’s phone with a smile, covering her mouth as she giggled at the compatible couple in the photo. "What should I do? Suddenly, I feel like I’m marrying off my daughter!"
"What nonsense!"
"I’m serious," Liu Keqing said with a smile. "I still remember when I first met you; you were cold and serious, just like a little ice princess. But now, look at you, smiling so freely—this is exactly how girls in love behave. When your big sister was young, her first love was just like this; I couldn’t stop grinning when I talked about him."
Listening to Liu Keqing, Bi Xia blushed and quickly snatched her phone back. "No more looking, stop looking. Big brother’s man isn’t for you to see so easily!"
"Hahaha," Liu Keqing playfully tapped Bi Xia’s forehead with her finger. "You voluntarily showed me this picture, big brother."
Bi Xia: ...
"Alright, go change clothes," Liu Keqing paused and laughed coquettishly, "Mr. Jiu!"
Bi Xia awkwardly pouted, "...You’re so annoying..."
Listening to Bi Xia, Liu Keqing chuckled softly. Ah, youth is so wonderful...
