Chapter 199: Quan Jue, Who Let You In?
When she returned to the living room, Chi Jiao saw Quan Jue putting on his coat.
“Are you leaving?” Chi Jiao walked up to Quan Jue and looked up at him.
“It’s already very late.” Quan Jue pointed at the clock. It was already nine in the evening.
“Then, I’ll be alone at ho tonight.” Chi Jiao sighed in disappointnt.
Quan Jue found her sigh adorable. He couldn’t help but poke her cheek with his finger. “Didn’t your dad say that the butler and Auntie Liu are also ho?”
“But I’m not familiar with them. They all like Chi Yan instead of ,” Chi Jiao said.
All the servants in the house watched Chi Yan grow up.
Hence, they were very close to her.
Actually, she didn’t care about this.
Quan Jue looked at Chi Jiao’s fair and tender face. The disappointnt in her eyes was like a knife stabbing his heart.
His gaze beca helpless and loving.
He reached out to rub Chi Jiao’s head and deliberately ssed up her hair. “Tell , did I owe you in my previous life?”
Chi Jiao’s body trembled slightly.
Quan Jue’s face filled with despair before her soul dissipated once again entered her mind in her previous life.
“You don’t owe anything.” Chi Jiao shook her head.
She was the one who owed him too much.
Quan Jue looked down at Chi Jiao and noticed that her eyes were red.
“What’s wrong?” Quan Jue’s nerves imdiately tensed up. His tone was unprecedentedly nervous. “Why are you crying?”
Chi Jiao tried her best to force her tears back into her eyes. She looked up at Quan Jue, the corners of her eyes as red as a rabbit’s. “I feel that I’m really lucky to have t Brother Quan.”
Quan Jue wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace.
His other hand held the back of her head and pressed her face against his chest.
“Don’t cry anymore. I’m the one who should feel lucky.” The young man’s voice was hoarse and his heart ached.
He didn’t know why she suddenly started crying.
However, it was obvious that the reason for her crying was not as important as how to not make her cry or be upset.
She was his light.
Initially, he thought that he would only hide in the dark and live a rotten and slly life. However, Jiaojiao was like a ray of light, making him realize the aning of his life.
Hence, eting Jiaojiao was Quan Jue’s blessing.
He would do anything for her, even if it ant sacrificing his own life. All he wanted was for her to be a carefree and delicate girl for the rest of her life.
Chi Jiao buried her face in Quan Jue’s chest. She could feel his strong heartbeat as she hugged his waist tightly.
She used a lot of strength. As if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.
“Don’t go,” she whispered.
“I’m not leaving.” Quan Jue gently patted the back of the girl in his arms.
The two of them stood in the living room and hugged each other for a while. When Chi Jiao heard footsteps behind her, she abruptly let go of him.
Butler Zhou didn’t expect to see Chi Jiao and Quan Jue hugging in the living room. He looked at him as if he was a thief. “Quan Jue, who let you in?”
When Quan Jue, Chi Mingwei, and Chi Jiao ca back together earlier, he was instructing the servants to clean up the garden.
So, he didn’t know how Quan Jue got in.
He only knew that Zhu Limin had told him to chase this ingrate out if he ever returned.
Quan Jue glanced at Butler Zhou indifferently.
It was just a faint glance, but it made Butler Zhou feel as if his entire body had fallen into an icehouse.
—Why did this ingrate look even scarier than before?
The aura he exuded was as if he had crawled out from hell, cold and ruthless.
