“About half an hour ago. I bought you your favorite crab dumplings. Do you want to eat them now?” Quan Jue asked as he continued to hold her tightly in his arms.
They would definitely be surprised by Quan Jue’s gentleness If anyone from his company was present.
Their usually unsmiling boss actually had such a tender side to him.
“I’ll eat later. Brother Quan, please continue to hold me. I’m still scared.” Chi Jiao lay in his arms like a pitiful little kitten, unwilling to leave his arms no matter what.
Quan Jue naturally wouldn’t reject her. He hugged her tightly and coaxed her softly. “Dreams and reality are the opposite. Jiaojiao, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Chi Jiao let go of him and shook her head. She looked ahead thoughtfully. “Brother Quan, although I also find it very strange, I just feel that the dream just now wasn’t fake. It really happened. I could even smell the smoke and the pungent smell of blood. Bai Wanxi’s expression is still floating in my mind. Her eyes were filled with pity and love. She didn’t hesitate at all when she took the arrow for me. Brother Quan, am I really her sister?”
At this point, a word popped into Chi Jiao’s mind.
Ridiculous.
Reincarnation was a ridiculous notion.
However, Chi Jiao had experienced it before. She believed that there was really reincarnation.
However, she didn’t dare to tell others about it. She didn’t want others to treat her as an anomaly.
Quan Jue was the only person who was different in Chi Jiao’s opinion. She firmly believed that no matter how different or unbelievable her thoughts were, Quan Jue would remain firmly on her side.
Quan Jue stared at her and gently caressed her cheek. “I understand. Actually, I feel the same way.”
Chi Jiao’s eyes lit up. She couldn’t help getting excited. “Brother Quan, are you speaking the truth? You’re not lying to me, right?”
“How could I lie to you? Everything I saw in the diary feels familiar as if I’ve experienced it myself. The feeling cannot be a lie. But Jiaojiao, we can’t be sure yet. After all, this kind of thing is too fantastical. I hope you won’t be too troubled by them before confirming things,” Quan Jue said with a serious expression.
Chi Jiao nodded, understanding what he meant.
They both felt the same way, but no one could confirm if what they saw was real or just an illusion. They still need a lot of time to verify things. It was useless to worry too much over it before that. They might as well relax and not think so much.
“Don’t worry, Brother Quan. I’ll remember your advice. Brother Quan, let’s have breakfast. You can stay here and rest for a while after breakfast. I’ll interrogate Jiang Dashan later and then we’ll go home together.” Although Chi Jiao didn’t expose him, she could tell that Quan Jue must have stayed up all night again.
Quan Jue was going all out in order to deal with Quan Jingzhou. Chi Jiao couldn’t stop him and could only try her best to help him.
Quan Jue reached out and gently stroked her long hair. He smiled and nodded.
