Quan Jue didn't take the sandwich. His beautiful face was filled with indifference and lethargy that said, "I'm very impatient right now."
Chi Jiao didn't mind and continued to smile.
"Take it." The girl's soft and sweet voice was like sweet wine that could easily intoxicate one.
The people around them were still looking at them. Quan Jue suddenly recalled Chi Jiao's back view as she left dejectedly yesterday.
If he rejected her in public, would she cry?
At this thought, Quan Jue quickly took the sandwich from Chi Jiao's hand. He walked past her and left with his slender legs.
Chi Jiao watched him leave the living room before slowly returning to her seat.
Seeing Chi Mingwei staring at her with a bitter expression, Chi Jiao picked up an orange and placed it in front of him. "Daddy, eat an orange."
Chi Mingwei smiled and sighed.
Chi Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.
"Jiaojiao, are you getting along well with Xiao Jue?" Zhu Limin held a spoon in her hand and casually stirred the oatmeal milk in the glass bowl.
This question was also what Chi Mingwei was concerned about. He looked up at Chi Jiao.
Chi Jiao nodded without any hesitation.
Zhu Limin smiled and didn't say anything.
Chi Mingwei's expression turned ugly and gloomy again.
"Jiaojiao, you and Xiao Jue aren't from the same world. Stay away from him." He didn't like that adopted son. If it wasn't for special reasons, he would never let such a person stay in their house for another day.
Chi Jiao frowned and looked straight at him with her clear and bright black eyes. "Brother is very good."
Her tone was too serious, causing the veins on Chi Mingwei's forehead to twitch violently.
But facing Chi Jiao's innocent and clear doe eyes, he couldn't bear to say anything else.
After breakfast, Chi Mingwei went to the office. Zhu Limin and her sisters had agreed to go shopping, while Chi Ze went to the atelier. Other than the servants, only Chi Jiao and Chi Yan were left at home.
Chi Jiao was about to go upstairs to her room when Chi Yan stopped her.
Chi Jiao stood by the stairs and turned to look at her.
With no one else present, Chi Yan couldn't be bothered to pretend. She walked straight to Chi Jiao and asked, "Are you very proud?"
Chi Jiao was speechless.
"Daddy likes you a lot. Are you very smug?!" Chi Yan thought of Chi Mingwei's attitude towards Chi Jiao and went crazy with jealousy.
She had tried her best to please her father and finally received some love from him. But in the end, she wasn't as good as a blood relative. After Chi Jiao returned, she realized that her father's gaze was no longer on her.
If she had lost to a very outstanding person, it would have been fine. But to lose to a useless country bumpkin from the mountains, she really couldn't accept it.
Chi Jiao sensed Chi Yan's hostility and suddenly smiled.
Her shallow dimples rippled next to her cheeks as she smiled sweetly and harmlessly.
"You're panicking and feeling insecure." His light words made Chi Yan's hand clench into a fist, her nails digging deep into her flesh.
Chi Jiao's words pierced her heart.
"Don't be so smug!" Chi Yan tried her best to control her emotions. She was the daughter of a rich family and had received a good education since she was young. She couldn't show her inelegant side in front of a country bumpkin and lower her status. "Daddy just feels guilty towards you. He doesn't really like you!"
Chi Jiao shrugged. "Whatever you say. If thinking this way makes you happier."
