Zhan Tingting felt rather put out by this!
Was that necessary? She was a girl too!
Did Mr. Quan Jue have to guard against her like she was a thief?
Zhan Tingting kept chiding Quan Jue in her heart, but she didn’t dare to show any disrespect on her face. She retracted her arms and forced a smile. “Hehehe. Thank you, Boss. Shall we go out first?”
“Alright.” Chi Jiao nodded. The three of them left basement three.
Zhan Tingting left after returning to the first floor. Chi Jiao accompanied Quan Jue out of the 117 Building and they went home together.
Quan Jue had been silent ever since he left Ye Yichen’s cell.
Chi Jiao could guess what he was thinking. Holding him tightly and wrapping her arms around him, she smiled and looked up. “Brother Quan, are you worried?”
Quan Jue didn’t want her to worry and wanted to shake his head in denial. However, he heaved a long sigh when he lowered his head and met her deep eyes. “Yes, I’m worried about Mom’s safety. Ye Yichen didn’t lie. That means that she might die once we take out the Heart of Time buried in her body. Jiaojiao, I hope she can live on.”
How could Chi Jiao not understand Quan Jue’s worry? She hugged him tightly and gave him a small smile. “Brother Quan, I think the same as you. I also hope that Auntie can live on. The little heart said that there might be a way to have the best of both worlds. Let’s wait for now and think of a way. There’s no need to rush.”
Quan Jue reached out and gently stroked her soft, long hair.
He knew very well that Chi Jiao said that to comfort him. Indeed, her words were a huge comfort to him.
Yin Yong tried to concentrate on his driving even as the lovey-dovey scene played out behind him.
Nevertheless, he wasn’t annoyed by this public display of affection. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The suppressive aura that surged out from Quan Jue’s body was shocking when he got into the car just now, causing Yin Yong to not even dare to breathe loudly as he drove.
Fortunately, Miss Chi managed to calm Boss down.
Indeed, Boss would become much easier to talk to whenever he encountered anything related to Miss Chi.
Chi Jiao also smiled even more brightly. She hugged Quan Jue’s arm tightly and leaned her head on his shoulder. “Brother, let’s go grocery shopping first. Auntie and I will cook for you and Daddy in the afternoon, okay? Let’s have a family meal today.”
Both Chi Jiao and Quan Jue had been busy these past few days. It had been some time since they had a good meal together.
Quan Jue’s company matters had come to an end. On her side, Chi Jiao had also arranged for her subordinates to bury Pan Guming and Pan Xiaomeng’s corpses together. They didn’t have to worry about another murder case, so they could relax a little.
Wasn’t this a good time for them to gather and eat together?
“Alright, I’ll make a call and tell Mom first.” Quan Jue’s gaze softened at the mention of Lu Xian.
Chi Jiao smiled brightly. “I’ll also call Daddy and ask him to come back for lunch with us today!”
