After returning to the Chi residence, in order not to arouse Chi Mingwei's suspicion, Chi Jiao asked him, "Daddy, where are Zhu Limin and Chi Yan?"
Chi Mingwei was already used to Chi Jiao calling Zhu Limin by her name. At the mention of Zhu Limin, he couldn't help but reveal a disgusted expression. "I don't know where she went to fool around. I've already gotten the lawyer to prepare the divorce agreement for me."
Quan Jue glanced at him and didn't say anything.
He had thought that Chi Mingwei would never discover that Zhu Limin had cheated on him. Now, it seemed that his future father-in-law wasn't hopelessly stupid.
The housemaid had just finished preparing dinner. Other than the servants, only Chi Jiao, Quan Jue, and Chi Mingwei were at home.
The three of them sat around the dining table.
It had been a long time since Quan Jue had eaten at the Chi residence. To be more precise, this was his first time eating at the dining table.
He had never thought of sitting with Chi Mingwei for a meal.
All of this was for Chi Jiao.
Chi Mingwei also never thought that he would one day eat with Quan Jue.
But seeing how happy Jiaojiao was, why did he feel that his precious daughter had been completely captured by Quan Jue?
Wouldn't he have to eat with Quan Jue often in the future?
At the thought of this, Chi Mingwei felt a little uncomfortable.
Other than Chi Jiao, Chi Mingwei and Quan Jue had their own thoughts at the dining table. The atmosphere was a little strange.
"Brother Quan, try this squirrel mandarin fish. It's delicious." Chi Jiao picked up a piece of fish and placed it on the plate in front of him.
Quan Jue immediately picked it up with his chopsticks and tasted it. Then, he leaned his face close to her ear and whispered, "It's delicious."
His breath tickled Chi Jiao's ear.
It made the girl's petite face turn an intoxicating crimson.
She also leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Eat more if it's delicious."
"This isn't the best." Quan Jue's voice was as deep as wine.
Chi Jiao looked at him in confusion. "Then, what's the best thing Brother Quan has ever eaten?"
Quan Jue's gaze landed on Chi Jiao's lips as he raised his eyebrows slightly.
What he wanted to express was obvious even without saying it out loud.
Chi Jiao was caught off guard by his action of raising his eyebrows. Her heart thumped wildly like a fawn.
Chi Mingwei looked at Chi Jiao and Quan Jue without blinking. When he saw them whispering to each other as if there was no one else around, he was so angry that his nose was about to become crooked.
However, he couldn't bear to blame Jiaojiao, nor could he say anything unpleasant to Quan Jue in front of her. Therefore, he could only endure it.
"Cough, cough, cough …" Chi Mingwei coughed heavily.
Chi Jiao's attention was immediately attracted by Chi Mingwei. She frowned at him. "Dad, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? "
"There's no discomfort. Jiaojiao, tell Daddy what exactly happened today. Why were you and Quan Jue attacked all of a sudden? "Chi Mingwei asked.
"We don't know either." Chi Jiao looked confused. She couldn't tell her father about Espers yet, so she could only pretend to be confused.
Chi Mingwei looked at him.
Quan Jue didn't even look at him and chose to remain silent.
"I'll hire a bodyguard for you," Chi Mingwei said after some thought.
The murderer hadn't been caught yet. Who could guarantee that the murderer wouldn't attack Jiaojiao?
