Quan Jue wasn't having a good time now, yet he still brought her to such an expensive place to eat.
For the first time, Chi Jiao felt reluctant to spend money.
She couldn't bear to spend Quan Jue's money.
But since she was already here, if she looked at the menu and said that she didn't want to eat here, with Quan Jue's meticulous mind, he would definitely know what she meant.
If that was the case, it would hurt his face.
Chi Jiao's mind spun quickly, and she quickly circled a few vegetarian dishes with a pen.
Compared to the meat dishes, the vegetarian dishes were slightly cheaper.
"I'm done ordering." Chi Jiao handed the menu back to him with an impeccable smile.
Quan Jue took the menu and looked at it. At a glance, he saw that the circled areas were all vegetarian dishes. He frowned unhappily. "Why did you order all vegetarian dishes?"
The dark environment he grew up in had already nurtured the young man's sensitivity and paranoia.
In addition, Quan Jue's EQ was not low and he was terrifyingly smart. Therefore, he didn't need to think too much to guess why Chi Jiao ordered vegetarian dishes.
She was pitying him.
Taking care of his pride.
At this thought, Quan Jue felt as if there was a fish bone stuck in his throat.
"Because my stomach hasn't recovered yet." Chi Jiao pretended not to see the gloominess in the young man's eyes and continued smiling brightly. "When my stomach recovers, we'll come here to eat again. I want to eat a few more plates of meat then."
The low pressure around Quan Jue instantly dissipated. Quan Jue looked deeply at Chi Jiao. "Okay, I'll bring you here again next time."
She was putting in so much effort to take care of his pride.
He had to know what was good for him.
Quan Jue added two more dishes, both of which were easier to digest meat.
Chi Jiao ate this meal happily like never before.
She had completely forgotten that she wanted to go home early.

In the warm and bright living room, Chi Mingwei, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the clock again.
It was already eight.
But Chi Jiao wasn't back yet.
He called her, but she didn't pick up. Instead, she texted him back.
She said that she would be home later so that he didn't have to worry.
"It's so late. Why isn't Jiaojiao back yet?" Zhu Limin walked over with a fruit plate.
"I went to play with my classmates," Chi Mingwei said lightly.
Zhu Limin looked at the time and smiled. "When Yanyan was in high school, she never made you worry so much, and she never stayed out so late. We can't compare to Mount Li, where the outside world is filled with feasting and debauchery. Jiaojiao, it's best if you don't associate with those bad students. "
Chi Mingwei frowned at Zhu Limin. "Are you saying that Jiaojiao is not as obedient as Yanyan?"
Zhu Limin's expression stiffened and she shook her head. "That's not what I meant."
"Then why did you compare Yanyan to Jiaojiao?" Chi Mingwei looked at Zhu Limin aggressively.
Zhu Limin was also a little angry. She looked at Chi Mingwei unhappily. "Everyone says that it's hard to be a stepmother. I finally know now. I'm just concerned about Jiaojiao. I'm worried that she'll be led astray by bad kids. Is that wrong? Chi Mingwei, do you feel that your life is too comfortable and you want to quarrel? “
She rarely flared up at Chi Mingwei. It could be said that after being with Chi Mingwei for so many years, the number of times she flared up could be counted with five fingers.
