Returning to the living room, Chi Jiao saw Quan Jue putting on his coat.
"Are you leaving?" Chi Jiao walked up to him and looked up at him.
"It's already very late." Quan Jue pointed at the grandfather clock. It was already 9 PM.
"Then, I'm going to be alone at home tonight." Chi Jiao sighed in disappointment.
Quan Jue felt that her sigh was very cute. He couldn't help but gently poke her face with his finger. "Didn't your father say that the butler and Auntie Liu are at home too?"
"But I'm not close to them. They all like Chi Yan and not me, "Chi Jiao said.
The servants in this house had all watched Chi Yan grow up.
Therefore, 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 disappointment in her eyes was like a knife stabbing at his heart.
His gaze became helpless and doting.
He reached out and rubbed Chi Jiao's head, deliberately messing up her hair. "Tell me, did I owe you in my previous life?"
Chi Jiao's body trembled slightly.
In her previous life, before her soul dissipated, Quan Jue's face filled with despair appeared in her mind once again.
"You don't owe me anything." Chi Jiao shook her head.
She was the one who owed him a lot.
Quan Jue looked down at her and realized that her eyes were red.
"What's wrong?" Quan Jue's nerves immediately tensed up, and his tone was unprecedentedly nervous. "Why are you crying?"
Chi Jiao tried her best to force her tears back into her eyes. She raised the corners of her eyes that were as red as a rabbit's and looked at him. "I just feel that I'm really lucky to have met Brother Quan. “
Quan Jue reached out and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his embrace.
With his other hand, he pressed the back of her head against his chest.
"Don't cry. I'm the one who should feel lucky." The young man's voice was a little hoarse, and his heart ached.
He didn't know why she suddenly started crying.
But it was obvious that the reason for her crying wasn't as important as how to stop her from crying or being sad.
She was his light.
Initially, he thought that he could only hide in the dark and lead a rotten and stinky life. However, Jiaojiao was like a ray of light that made him suddenly feel the meaning of his life.
Therefore, meeting Jiaojiao was Quan Jue's fortune.
He could do anything for her, even if it meant sacrificing his own life. He just wanted her to be a carefree girl for the rest of her life.
Chi Jiao buried her face in Quan Jue's chest and felt his strong heartbeat. Her arms hugged his waist tightly.
It was as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear, so she used a lot of strength.
"Don't go," she whispered.
"I'm not leaving." Quan Jue gently patted the girl's back.
The two of them stood in the living room and hugged for a while. Chi Jiao only let go of Quan Jue when she heard footsteps coming from behind.
Butler Zhou didn't expect to see Chi Jiao and Quan Jue hugging each other in the living room. He looked at Quan Jue as if he was looking at a thief. "Quan Jue, who allowed you to come in?"
When Quan Jue, Chi Mingwei, and Chi Jiao returned together, he was in the backyard instructing the servants to clean the garden.
Therefore, she didn't know how Quan Jue got in.
He only knew that Zhu Limin had arranged for him to chase this ingrate out if Quan Jue returned.
Quan Jue glanced at Butler Zhou indifferently.
It was just a casual glance, but it made Butler Zhou feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Why did this ingrate look even scarier than before?
