/ Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle Chapter 269 – An Accident
“Mai Qi and I took our respective mother's surname. For a special reason, we can't take our father's surname.” Qu Hao explained.
“Did Mrs. Mai know you were on the second floor that day?” I asked directly.
Qu Hao smiled. The waiter served a cup of coffee. He stirred the coffee. “Do you think she knew?”
I was sure that Mrs. Mai didn't know.
Qu Hao smiled. “Nanxing, you're really smart. No wonder Ye Qian would do anything to earn your trust.”
“You heard our conversation?” I felt discomfited immediately.
Qu Hao smiled faintly. “I'm sorry, Nanxing, I was not following you. I was trying to look into Ye Qian's background but it was a pleasant surprise to run into you.”
I… I felt naked before him. This was a very uncomfortable feeling. Qu Hao picked up his coffee and took a sip. “Nanxing, I don't mean you any harm.”
I nodded. “If you do, I would be dead already.”
Qu Hao smiled, “Mai Qi is lucky to have you as her friend.”
I smiled, “No, I am lucky to have her as my friend. She has a free pick of friends if she wants it.”
Qu Hao said, “Mai Qi grew up with Mrs. Mai, so I thought she would grow up to be another Mrs. Mai. Thankfully she knew her right from wrong. That is very fortunate and rare. In any case, I know I can rest easy now. With you by her side, I don't need to worry too much about her anymore.”
I raised my brow. “What do you mean by that?” When did I become their nanny?
Qu Hao said lightly, “Now that Mai Qi is with you, she'll have a chance to be a normal person. With her personality, if she is forced to follow Mrs. Mai's path, she won't be happy.”
“And you won't care about her anymore?” I was confused.
“I am the least qualified to do that. If I show too much concern, it'll only have a negative effect. Mrs. Mai is always worried that I'll harm her daughter. In her eyes, I'm a horrible beast.” Qu Hao said self-deprecatingly.
I shrugged. “So even if I make an enemy out of Mrs. Mai, you won't be my enemy?”
Qu Hao smiled. “What do you think?”
I didn't know what to think. This one family had four people but three different surnames. What was I supposed to think?
“Nanxing, I'll be staying at M City for a while. If you need anything, feel free to come to find me.” He picked up a napkin and wrote down a string of numbers. I hesitated. He placed it before me and smiled. “I should find a time to invite Jing Tian out for a drink. I haven't seen him for years already. I hear he has made a good life for himself.” That made me feel better about him.
I nodded, “Okay, I will pass your number onto him. You don't mind, right?” I waved the napkin. He nodded with a smile. A man who was dressed as a bodyguard walked over and whispered something in Qu Hao's ears. He stood up and told me politely. “Nanxing, I have to go. Remember to contact me if you need anything.
I smiled and waved. I didn't stand up to send him off.
When I reached home, I found Mai Qi in the gym fighting with the sandbag. Mai Qi wiped her sweat and took the water bottle I gave her. “Where have you been? You've been out for so long.”

“Why? Was she there to lobby for my mother or she was there to warn you off Jing Tian?” Mai Qi bristled.
“Neither,” I answered.
