Li Jue looked at Jiujiu's pale face and red nose because of crying. He walked over and reached out to wipe the tears on Jiujiu's cheeks. "Don't cry. It's delicious."
Hearing Li Jue say that it was delicious, Jiujiu's red eyes, which had been dim because of crying, instantly lit up.
Jiujiu looked up at Li Jue, blinked, and asked in a low voice, "Really? Mr. Li, you're not lying to me? "
"It's really delicious."
Jiujiu was delicate and soft. At this moment, she looked up at him like a little kitten exposing its spine in front of him. Even though he already knew how he was going to treat Jiujiu in the future, Li Jue couldn't be cruel to Jiujiu at this moment.
Li Jue looked at Jiujiu's eyes, which were clearer and more transparent than the woman he liked, and subconsciously reached out to rub Jiujiu's head.
Jiujiu's hair was very soft and thin. Even though it had been tied up with a hair tie, it was instantly scattered by Li Jue's rub. When Li Jue's hand moved away, Jiujiu's little ahoge even stood up on the top of her head. Coupled with Jiujiu's red eyes, she looked pure and innocent. She was extremely cute.
Li Jue looked at Jiujiu's appearance and whispered to her to rest early. Then, he turned and went upstairs.
Not long after Li Jue went upstairs, the butler brought over a bowl of corn and pork ribs soup.
The corn and pork ribs soup had been simmering for a long time because Jiujiu only added a little ginger and green onions to remove the fishy smell. When it was done, she added a little salt to taste it and didn't add anything else.
However, even so, the pork ribs soup was extremely delicious.
The corn was sweet and the pork ribs tasted mellow. Even Li Jue's expression couldn't help but soften after drinking this bowl of soup.
The housekeeper didn't know that Li Jue was keeping Jiujiu because he wanted to cut out Jiujiu's heart. So when he saw that Li Jue liked to drink the soup cooked by Jiujiu, he couldn't help but suggest that Li Jue keep Jiujiu as a cook.
He had long been dissatisfied with Brother Wang, who liked to slack off. If it was Jiujiu, a well-behaved little girl, it would be pretty good.
Li Jue didn't agree or disagree with the housekeeper's suggestion. He just nodded and continued to read the documents.
Seeing that Li Jue was unwilling to answer directly, the butler left directly.
Jiujiu asked the housekeeper to serve the pork ribs soup to Li Jue. After drinking a bowl, she went upstairs to her room to rest.
After the butler left, Li Jue worked until eleven o 'clock at night before he finished the work in his hands.
Because he had been keeping his head down, when Li Jue raised his head, his neck made a creaking sound.
Li Jue held his neck with his hand and shook it slightly until he felt comfortable. Then, he stood up and prepared to take a shower and rest.
Li Jue had just opened the door of the study when he heard a thud. The person who was leaning against the door fell to the ground.
Li Jue frowned slightly. Just as he was about to fly into a rage, Jiujiu raised her head and looked at Li Jue timidly. Her voice was thin and small as she asked timidly, "Mr. Li, can we talk for a moment?"
After seeing that the person leaning against the door was Jiujiu, the anger on Li Jue's face disappeared instantly. After nodding, he looked down at Jiujiu and waited for Jiujiu to speak first.
Jiujiu got up from the ground and tidied up her messy clothes. Then, she looked up at Li Jue and asked, "Mr. Li, is my brother dead?"
When she said that her brother was dead, Jiujiu's eyes instantly turned red. Her lips trembled, but she stubbornly bit her lower lip to prevent herself from crying out.
Li Jue didn't expect Jiujiu to think of this. After being stunned for a moment, he said softly, "We haven't found your brother yet."
"Mr. Li, don't lie to me." Jiujiu raised her hand to wipe the tears on her cheeks. She looked straight at Li Jue with her red eyes and said in a strained voice, "Mr. Li, my brother is very obedient. And I left money. Even if I didn't come back, he would wait for me at the same place. Unless, unless he died, he wouldn't leave our house."
At the mention of death again, Jiujiu instantly burst into tears.
Jiujiu's voice was very soft and sweet when she spoke. When she cried, her voice was as soft as a kitten's meow. Coupled with the red tip of Jiujiu's little nose, she looked lonely, weak, and helpless.
Not to mention that Jiujiu's face was exactly the same as that woman's.
Li Jue didn't know if it was because of Jiujiu or because of Jiujiu's face, but he kept comforting her in a low voice.
Li Jue's voice was very low and deep. When he spoke in a low voice, it was as deep as a cello.
Jiujiu cried and fell asleep in Li Jue's comforting voice.
Jiujiu used to be very obedient. If it weren't for the fact that she could speak and respond to him, Li Jue would have thought that Jiujiu was a doll. And when Jiujiu cried just now, she looked like a mother beast who had lost its cub. Even though she was asleep at this moment, her eyes were still dripping with tears. Even her mouth made waves of sobs from time to time.
Li Jue's palm gently patted Jiujiu's back. Then, he carried Jiujiu and walked towards Jiujiu's house.
He put Jiujiu on the bed and looked at the little girl who was asleep but still crying. Li Jue stood by the bed and watched for a long time before leaving without looking back.
After Li Jue left, Jiujiu, who was still crying, immediately opened her eyes. Although her eyes were red, there was no sadness at all. Instead, they were full of sarcasm and indifference.
Probably because Jiujiu cried too hard last night, when Li Jue left the villa the next morning, he whispered to the butler that if Jiujiu woke up, he should inform him immediately.
The butler knew Li Jue's feelings for that woman. He thought that Li Jue was so good to Jiujiu because of Jiujiu's face. Anyway, he didn't like that woman very much. Moreover, Jiujiu was just an orphan. It was better to raise Jiujiu than that woman. So after hearing Li Jue's instructions, the butler quickly agreed.
Not long after Li Jue left, Jiujiu got up.
Because of crying last night, Jiujiu's big and beautiful eyes were almost swollen like two walnuts. The tip of her nose was also red.
Jiujiu got up and washed up. Then, she quickly went downstairs.
The moment he saw Jiujiu come out, the butler immediately approached to greet her. However, when he saw Jiujiu's obviously crying appearance, he was stunned and asked in confusion, "Xiaocao, why are you crying?"
In response to the butler's question, Jiujiu forced a smile and said, "I accidentally fell off the bed last night."
Jiujiu's reason sounded like nonsense, but the butler couldn't continue to ask. He could only instruct others to prepare breakfast for Jiujiu and call Li Jue to report about Jiujiu.
When the butler called, Li Jue was resting with his eyes closed.
After walking out of Jiujiu's room last night, Li Jue couldn't fall asleep.
