My Identities Were All Exposed After I Was Pampered by Everyone at My Grandfather's House!

334 Wolf! Wolf!

“Then I’ll do it with you.” Qiao Jing patted Qiao Yue on the shoulder and sat down.

The fire was stocked with enough firewood to keep it burning all night. Qiao Yue had even set up a rack and used mugs as pots to make flower tea.

Faint fragrance of flower tea permeated the air.

“This is very different from the Qiao residence.” Qiao Yue suddenly said.

“How different?”

“You can see stars here.” Qiao Yue looked up at the sky.

Air was thin in the mountains and the sky was clear. Stars sparkled big and bright, like gemstones in the sky.

“True. You can’t see such bright stars at the Qiao residence.”

Qiao Jing took out a coat from the tent and wrapped it around Qiao Yue. “I thought about what you said just now. If it weren’t for the Qiao family, I would probably be an ordinary person, clock in and out every day doing the most ordinary job, get married and live a life that’s neither good nor bad.”

Unfortunately, there was the Qiao family.

“If it weren’t for the Qiao family, I would really like to do scientific research or become a traveler.” Qiao Yue sighed. “It’s a pity that my grades were so bad when I was at Nanshan. I don’t think I’ll get into any university in this lifetime.”

Qiao Jing nudged Qiao Yue’s head. “You.”

He knew that Qiao Yue’s real academic achievements were not as documented.

Qiao Jing had hired many people to investigate Qiao Yue. Although the results were minimal, he could still get a glimpse of Qiao Yue’s life in the past few years.

She had many patents for inventions abroad and held an important position at a big company like KA. She was also inextricably linked with an international organization.

However, he didn’t want to probe. There was no point in probing. He would wait for the day when Qiao Yue told him.

Before this business trip, he had prepared for Qiao Yue the things that she would need. Every item was prepared according to his own packing list.

He had never been so serious about a girl.

People would call this kind of seriousness love, but Qiao Jing felt that there had to be more profound feelings in this world. His feelings for Qiao Yue could not be described as love.

“Not necessarily. Maybe it’s possible if you work hard?” Qiao Jing laughed.

The tea was ready. The two of them took a sip by the fire under the stars.

The tea was sweet and fragrant. Drinking it would warm anyone’s heart.

Just as the two of them were enjoying the silence, a strange wolf howl came from the distance.

“What is that?” Qiao Yue stood up and stared at the forest in full alert.

“Awooooooo!”

The sound was far away, as if it was not on this mountain.

“These bonfires easily attract wolves. I didn’t think that there would be wolves near Hanshan.” Qiao Yue frowned.

Wolves rarely came out of their caves to hunt for food in such cold weather.

Even though the wolves sounded far away, they could be here in a few hours.

“Someone is doing this on purpose.” Qiao Yue said coldly. “The forest should be very safe this season. I don’t know why there would be wolves.”

She took out a dagger and held it in her hand.

Qiao Jing glanced at her and also picked up a knife.

“Don’t worry. It’s less than four hours to dawn. We should be able to make it.”

Qiao Yue nodded.

The two of them sat in silence again.

Qiao Yue quietly closed her eyes but remained vigilant. This was the way she would preserve her strength in case of any battle later.

The darkness of the night was slowly lifted, and the sky brightened.

The wolf howls were getting closer. Qiao Yue opened her eyes and looked in its direction.

She gave Qiao Jing a look, and the latter understood.

The two of them slowly hid behind a tree near their campsite.

The bonfire was still burning, and the wolf seemed to be famished as it dashed toward them. They could hear leaves rustling as the wolf moved.

It was now that the sound of the wolf became clear.

The wolf reeked of blood. Qiao Yue and Qiao Jing held their breaths and watched the shrubs sway wildly.

The wolf suddenly appeared at their campsite.

There were all kinds of leftover food from last night on their campsite. The wolf first gobbled up the leftovers, then looked at the surrounding tents.

People in the tents were all fast asleep and did not sense the approaching danger.

Qiao Yue watched the wolf approach a tent and gave Qiao Jing a look.

Qiao Jing nodded. Just as the wolf was about to pounce on the tent, Qiao Yue and Qiao Jing pounced on the wolf at the same time.
