Chi Jiao stood in front of the dessert counter with a small plate in her hand. On the small plate was a strawberry mousse cake.
The desserts in this hotel had always had a good reputation and suited Chi Jiao's taste.
She stood there alone, attracting the attention of many other guests.
"Which family's daughter is she from? Why does she look so unfamiliar? "
"She's the second daughter of the Chi family, Chi Jiao. I saw her at Old Master Chi's birthday banquet last time."
"She's really good-looking."
"Damn, what's the use of being good-looking? Look at Lan Yunhan. He only has eyes for Chi Yan. "
"…"
Some discussions entered Chi Jiao's ears, and some pitiful gazes were cast at her.
In their eyes, Chi Jiao had become a pitiful little girl who had been abandoned by Lan Yunhan.
However, Chi Jiao didn't care at all and continued to focus on eating the pastries.
She didn't even notice someone approaching her.
Xu Ye didn't expect to bump into Chi Jiao when he was finally willing to listen to his family's arrangements and attend the Lan family's banquet.
When he saw the girl standing alone in front of the dessert counter and people pointing at her, his heart ached.
When he walked to Chi Jiao's side, Xu Ye realized that she didn't notice him at all. He stood beside her and stared at her deeply.
His gaze was gentle and focused that even he couldn't imagine.
Seeing bread crumbs on the corner of Chi Jiao's lips, Xu Ye couldn't help but reach out to wipe them away.
However, before his hand could touch Chi Jiao's cheek, she suddenly turned to look at him as if she had been electrocuted. At the same time, her hand grabbed his wrist at lightning speed.
That small and thin hand was like an iron clamp, causing Xu Ye to frown in pain.
"It hurts, it hurts." Xu Ye leaned close to her face and whispered, "Please give me some face and let go quickly."
Chi Jiao's series of reactions were completely subconscious. When she saw that the person in front of her was Xu Ye, she let go.
"What were you trying to do just now?" Chi Jiao asked with raised eyebrows.
Xu Ye moved his wrist that had a red mark on it and looked at Chi Jiao in confusion.
Last time, he had been thrown over Chi Jiao's shoulder, and today, she was doing this again. He really wanted to know how her small body could have such agile reflexes and explosive power.
"It's nothing. There are bread crumbs by your mouth. I wanted to help you get rid of them." Xu Ye raised the corner of his lips and smiled a little ruffian.
Chi Jiao raised her hand and wiped away the bread crumbs at the corner of her mouth. Then, like a vigilant cat, she looked at Xu Ye. "Don't come so close to me next time."
Xu Ye raised his thick eyebrows. "We're deskmates. Chi Jiao, you don't have to act like you're guarding against a thief, right?"
Chi Jiao couldn't be bothered to say so much to Xu Ye. She picked up the yogurt on the table beside her and took a small lick to taste it.
Xu Ye saw that she tasted the yogurt like a kitten, and his heart felt as if it was gently scratched by feathers.
Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Xu Ye looked at her and asked, "Why didn't Quan Jue come with you?"
"Brother Quan doesn't like such occasions." When Chi Jiao mentioned Quan Jue's name, her tone unconsciously became gentler.
Xu Ye felt like that gentleness was stabbing a knife into his heart, making him have the urge to slap himself.
F * ck, why did this stinky mouth mention Quan Jue for no reason?
"Don't you have a dance partner tonight?" Xu Ye asked again.
Chi Jiao shook her head.
