Chapter 1001: What Was Wrong?
Kong Xia did not ask much about Blake. She just told Jiang Li to rest early and not stay up late with Fu Jiuxiao, so she hung up in a hurry.
Jiang Li looked at her phone in astonishment, then looked up at Fu Jiuxiao who was walking over.
“What’s wrong?” Fu Jiuxiao’s voice was still hoarse. He sat beside Jiang Li and held her in his arms. He gently stroked her back with one hand and asked.
Jiang Li took the opportunity to lean into his arms and found a more comfortable position. However, there was a hint of confusion in her tone. She told Fu Jiuxiao about Kong Xia’s question.
Fu Jiuxiao was also very confused, but she replied, “As far as I know, before your brother was discharged from the hospital, Blake had already returned to Jing City to handle business.”
Blake left Sea City?
Jiang Li did not care much about Blake. When she heard the news, she did not feel particularly surprised.
Blake was not an idle Young Master. Samuel had arranged for him to go to China to start a business.
He must be very busy.
Jiang Li nodded in realization. She recalled Kong Xia’s question and finally closed her eyes, saying, “Maybe it’s because Blake always hangs around in front of them, which makes mom feel strange.”
After all, Yue Qing’s attitude toward Blake was not that good.
Fu Jiuxiao kissed Jiang Li’s forehead and said unhappily, “Should you talk about other men now?”
Blake could not either.
Blake’s relationship with them was not that good, so why did he always bring up this guy?
Jiang Li heard Fu Jiuxiao’s sour laughter, raised her head, and gently kissed his earlobe. She said coquettishly, “Are you unhappy now? I didn’t even ask you who called you so late.”
Fu Jiuxiao scratched Jiang Li’s nose. “Do you want to sleep?”
Jiang Li blushed and quickly buried herself in the blanket.
She did not have enough energy to do it twice. It was better to sleep quietly.
Fu Jiuxiao let out a soft laugh. It was deep and gentle, which made Jiang Li’s heart itch.
The lights in the room were turned off.
Fu Jiuxiao hugged Jiang Li in his arms and slept soundly together.
Jiang Li received a call from Kong Xia during working hours the next day, asking if she and Fu Jiuxiao were free to have dinner together.
To have dinner together?
Jiang Li checked her schedule and could only say apologetically that she might have to contact Fu Jiuxiao later.
Kong Xia sighed. She knew how busy Jiang Li was at work. In the past, it was only with Yue Qing’s help in the company that she was able to relax.
She did not ask any more questions. She only gave Jiang Li a few more words before hanging up.
Jiang Li was very busy. She was so busy that she did not think much about it. She thought that Kong Xia and Yue Ji were probably just missing her daughter.
As Kong Xia held her phone, she looked up at Blake who was busy in the restaurant. The corners of her mouth could not help but twitch. She felt that something was not right.
She raised her leg and kicked Yue Ji. She asked softly, “Did you see that?”
Yue Ji was reading a book. After being kicked by Kong Xia, he looked up in confusion and asked, “What are you reading? This book is about pharmacology. I think it’s very good.”
He seemed to be afraid that he did not give a complete explanation, so he added, “The book was sent by Fu Jiuxiao. This child is very thoughtful.”
He was more and more approving of Fu Jiuxiao.
Kong Xia’s face turned green, and she lowered her voice angrily, “Who asked this? I’m talking about that child.”
Yue Ji followed Kong Xia’s line of sight and saw that Blake was busy in the restaurant. Yue Qing’s face was gloomy, and he was very impatient with Blake. Yue Ji suddenly felt angry.
“Yue Qing, your friend is here to visit you. What kind of attitude is this?” Yue Ji shouted.
Yue Qing’s expression stiffened slightly. Just as he was about to reply, Blake beat him to it and said, “Uncle, we were just joking. Let’s go out to eat today.”
“Sure!” Yue Ji did not care about these arrangements and answered very naturally.
Kong Xia’s face was cold as she gave a negative answer. “No need. It’s not convenient for Yue Qing either.”
Yue Qing’s answer was the most straightforward and he shouted, “No!”
Yue Ji looked at Kong Xia and Yue Qing in confusion. He obviously did not understand the mother and son’s attitude. Why were they so similar? He turned his head in confusion and continued to read.
Kong Xia also felt that her attitude was not very good. She smiled gently and was about to soften her tone and explain properly when she received a call from Jiang Li.
Jiang Li’s chuckle came out from the phone. Her tone was relaxed and cheerful. It was obvious that she was in a good mood. “Mom, I’ve finished my work and I’m preparing to go over.”
“Let’s have hotpot tonight, okay?”
When Kong Xia heard Jiang Li’s voice, her brows relaxed.
Kong Xia glanced at Yue Qing. This kid was throwing a tantrum with Blake. No matter how she looked at it, it did not seem like an ordinary relationship. It made her very uneasy.
Yue Ji could not be counted on either. He looked silly.
She smiled gently. “Alright, we’ll wait for you at home.”
She stood up and walked into the kitchen. After opening the fridge, she took out all the ingredients and prepared to clean up.
At this moment, Blake squeezed into the kitchen and smiled at Kong Xia. “Auntie, your injuries need to recover. Leave the things you need to do to me!”
