Night, 11 PM.
Quan Jue returned from outside and stood in front of Chi Jiao's door.
There was no light coming from inside, and it sounded very quiet.
After hesitating for a moment at the door, he didn't knock. Instead, he walked to the room next door.
After opening the door, Quan Jue didn't turn on the lights. He took off his clothes and walked towards the bed in the dark.
Today, after meeting Shen Liao and Gu Xian, he went to settle some matters and was busy until now.
His tired body felt like it was filled with lead.
He groped his way to the bed in the dark. Just as he was about to lift the blanket, the bedside lamp was turned on.
He saw a person sitting in his bed.
The girl was wearing pink pajamas and looked like she had just woken up. Her big eyes looked a little hazy, and her hair was a little messy.
It was Chi Jiao.
Quan Jue was stunned for a moment before asking, "Why are you sleeping here?"
Chi Jiao stood up from the blanket and opened her arms to him. "Brother Quan, hug ~"
The girl's sweet voice sounded a little lazy because she had just woken up. Quan Jue's eyes darkened as he hugged her.
Chi Jiao rubbed her face against his body and took a whiff of his fragrance. "Why are you back so late?"
She was originally waiting for Quan Jue to return, but she fell asleep while waiting.
Quan Jue touched the back of her head and couldn't help but say in a gentle tone, "I was delayed by something. I came back after I was done."
Chi Jiao didn't ask what he was busy with. She lazily buried her face in his chest and yawned. "Brother Quan, I'm sleepy."
"Then, sleep." Quan Jue felt the softness in his arms, and his heart softened. "You want to sleep here again, don't you?"
Her thoughts were exposed by him just like that. Chi Jiao nodded calmly. "I had a nightmare just now, so I'm a little scared." “
Quan Jue, who had wanted to reject her, couldn't bring himself to reject her when he heard the grievance in her tone.
A delicate girl was indeed a delicate girl. She could make him surrender just by acting coquettishly.
He really had no choice.
With that thought in mind, Quan Jue gently kissed her hair. "Lie down, then. I'll wait for you to fall asleep before I sleep." “
Chi Jiao raised her petite face and leaned close to his cheek. She kissed him. "Good night, Brother Quan." “
Quan Jue looked deeply at the girl in his arms, and his lips curled into a gentle and affectionate smile. "Good night."
*****
A few days later, Chi Jiao heard from Chi Mingwei that Zhu Limin had agreed to the divorce and even turned herself in.
This was a smart move for Zhu Limin.
If she agreed to the divorce now and didn't blow things up with Chi Mingwei, at least she could leave White City in the future and start a new life somewhere else.
Chi Mingwei said that he wanted Zhu Limin to leave with nothing. Actually, Zhu Limin had secretly hidden a lot of money all these years. Chi Mingwei didn't pursue the matter at all, and it was enough for Zhu Limin to live for the rest of her life.
Ever since Chi Yan ran out of the house that day, she had never returned.
Chi Jiao asked Na Yankun to send someone to monitor Chi Yan and prepare to take her away at any time.
In this legal world, it was not easy to make a person disappear without a trace. One had to be careful.
Shen Wu was also in prison. The son he had with Zhu Limin became an orphan and was sent to the orphanage.
The winter break was getting closer and closer, which meant that the final exams were getting closer and closer. Chi Jiao also started to study seriously. Although she had a photographic memory, she still had to learn humbly.
No matter what it was, if one was too proud, there would be no good outcome.
