The girl’s sweet voice had a hint of spoiled cuteness to it, and it flowed into Quan Jue’s heart like honey.
Of course, he couldn’t bear to.
He wished he could shrink her and keep her in his pocket every day, not allowing anyone to spy on her. How could he bear to sell her off?
As Quan Jue looked at the girl’s lips, which were as delicate as petals, he once again had the urge to taste them.
Suppressing the impulsiveness, he raised his hand to rub Chi Jiao’s soft curly hair. “How do you know I can’t bear to? It depends on my mood.”
The young man’s tone was casual and magnetic, and Chi Jiao was sensitive enough to detect a hint of indulgence in it.
Chi Jiao was just about to say something when she heard a discordant voice.
“Jiaojiao! I finally found you!”
Chi Jiao turned around and saw two uninvited guests walking towards them speedily.
Quan Jue also looked in the direction of the voices and saw Chi Yan and Lan Yunhan walking towards them together. A dark glint flashed across his dark eyes.
When Chi Jiao saw Chi Yan and Lan Yunhan, the smile on her lips disappeared. She looked at them expressionlessly as they walked up to her.
Lan Yunhan seemed to have deliberately put on a cap and sunglasses to prevent people from recognizing him. However, this didn’t prevent those familiar with him from recognizing him at a glance.
The pair of eyes behind his sunglasses stared straight at Chi Jiao, his gaze so sharp that it seemed like he wanted to see through her.
Chi Yan’s gaze scanned Quan Jue and Chi Jiao from head to toe.
She previously already felt that Chi Jiao liked Quan Jue a lot, so she wasn’t too surprised to see them together.
But she wasn’t in the mood to dwell on this matter right now. She looked at Chi Jiao anxiously and asked, “Jiaojiao, have you seen the news?”
Chi Jiao, of course, knew that Chi Yan and Lan Yunhan were on the news.
When she first arrived at school this morning, Dang Nan and Yi Lanlan had told her about it. They had even especially run to Chi Yan’s Weibo to curse at her. They didn’t expect a goddess like her to actually do such a disgusting thing.
“I did,” Chi Jiao said indifferently.
Not only did she read them, but she also knew that it was probably Yan Zhengchen and Shen Liao’s work.
Chi Yan gritted her teeth in anger when she saw Chi Jiao’s indifferent expression.
She had really underestimated her.
Initially, she wanted to use the annulment to humiliate Chi Jiao, but she didn’t expect to shoot herself in the foot. Now, Chi Jiao had become a pitiful person in everyone’s eyes, and she had become the target of insults.
Chi Yan almost broke down as she had never been scolded so harshly before.
She really couldn’t figure out who was secretly helping Chi Jiao.
Lan Yunhan had used many of his connections to remove the trending topics, but it was useless. The issue remained on the trending searches on Weibo, and its popularity grew as more and more people learned about this matter.
Of course, more and more people were cursing them as well.
“Jiaojiao, we’re sisters. Must you force me into such desperate straits?” Chi Yan looked at Chi Jiao, hurt.
“This is my fault alone.” Lan Yunhan pressed on as he stared at Chi Jiao and said, “Jiaojiao, if you have any grievances, we can settle them privately. You didn’t have to make this such a huge deal.”
They had all believed that Chi Jiao was the one behind this whole thing. They didn’t know who she had asked for help.
Even Chi Yexi had forwarded the Weibo post exposing Lan Yunhan and Chi Yan’s relationship.
