Chapter 1391: Something That Doesn’t Belong to His Age

His aura was different.

But Qiao Mianmian could tell that it wasn’t a change in his appearance.

It was his gaze.

In the past, Qiao Chen was very sunny.

He was a sunny boy.

But now...

Qiao Mianmian saw something in his eyes that didn’t belong to his age.

She thought she’d seen wrongly.

Because when she took a closer look, Qiao Chen had returned to how he used to be. He looked like a simple-minded, pure, and beautiful boy.

“Sister.”

His facial features were handsome and exquisite, like a handsome young man from a comic. He opened his arms and gave his sister a big hug.

As he hugged Qiao Mianmian, Qiao Chen frowned and whispered, “Sister, why do I feel like you’ve lost weight again? Is filming very tough? Didn’t you eat well?”

Qiao Mianmian also reached out to hug him and pushed him away with a smile. “You’re hallucinating. I’ve only measured my weight, and it’s still the same as before.”

“Why do I feel like you’ve lost a lot of weight?” Qiao Chen looked around and smiled. “Brother-in-law isn’t here?”

“Mm, he’s overseas now. But he’ll be back for your banquet.”

Qiao Chen was expressionless as he talked about the banquet.

He looked bored. “It’s nothing important. If Brother-in-law has something on, he doesn’t have to rush back.”

Qiao Mianmian looked up at him.

“Chen Chen, are you unhappy?” Qiao Mianmian knew him too well.

No matter how prominent the Mo family was, it wasn’t a huge temptation to Qiao Chen.

He wanted a simple life.

He had lived an ordinary life for the past decade.

He wasn’t used to such a life.

To Qiao Chen, he was happy and satisfied to be able to play in a professional team.

This was his ideal life.

But now...

Qiao Mianmian knew that Qiao Chen must have decided to give up something.

“No.” Qiao Chen forced a smile. “What’s there to be unhappy about? Sister, let’s go back first. I’ll take you to see the little nest I just packed. I bought a lot of your favorite dishes. I’ll cook something nice for you today.”

...

Qiao Chen rented a house outside.

It was a 50-square-meter apartment with one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom. It wasn’t big, but it was very cozy.

The apartment was obviously for boys. The colors were very monotonous, mainly black, white, and gray.

Because of the green plants, the room looked much fresher.

The furniture was still brand new. It was obvious that he had just moved in.

“Sister, how is it?” Qiao Chen asked her.

Qiao Mianmian looked around and nodded. “Mm, it’s pretty good. Chen Chen, why did you suddenly think of renting your own house?”

“I’ve always thought about it.” Qiao Chen placed her luggage on the sofa and poured her a glass of water. “This is my private world. You can come here whenever you want to be alone.”

“You can stay with your brother-in-law...”

“Sister, you and Brother-in-law are married. It’s fine if I stay at your place for a day or two, but it won’t be good if I stay for too long.” Qiao Chen interrupted her. “I know you won’t mind, but I do.”

Qiao Mianmian kept quiet for a while before nodding. “That’s good too.”
