Quan Jue was incredibly regretful. Unable to hug Chi Jiao, he could only gently wipe her tears. “As long as you stop crying, I’ll promise you anything you want. Jiaojiao, stop crying, okay?”
Chi Jiao held his hand and sobbed. “I won’t let you leave.”
Her sobbing voice was soft and filled with grievance. It caused Quan Jue’s heart to ache painfully.
“Don’t worry, I will never leave you alone.” With that, he held Chi Jiao’s hand tightly. “Stop crying. You’re turning into a little kitten.”
“Who’s to blame?” Chi Jiao sniffed and asked angrily.
Quan Jue quickly comforted her. “It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault. I won’t dare to do it again in the future.”
“I’m very angry that you don’t care about your body at all. I have to consider if I should forgive you,” Chi Jiao pouted her little mouth and said discontentedly.
When Quan Jue heard this, he raised his eyebrows. “Actually, I have a secret weapon that can make you feel better instantly. Do you want to try it?”
Chi Jiao blinked as tears rolled out of her eyes. “What secret weapon?”
A meaningful glint flashed across Quan Jue’s eyes as he curled his finger at her.
Chi Jiao tilted her head and approached obediently.
In the end, Quan Jue took the opportunity to kiss her on the lips. “This is my secret weapon. Do you like it?”
Chi Jiao was shocked at first, but then her face turned red. “What kind of secret weapon is this? It has no power.”
Quan Jue raised his eyebrows and grabbed her arm to get her closer to him. “Then, I’ll let you experience my power.”
Chi Jiao knew very well what Quan Jue meant, and her petite face turned even redder.
Just as the two of them were getting closer, her phone suddenly rang.
“Wait a moment, I have to answer this call first.” Chi Jiao sat back down and wiped her tears before answering her phone. “Hello.”
On the other end of the line, Yan Zhengchen could instantly tell that something was wrong with her voice. “Jiaojiao, what’s wrong? Are you crying?”
Chi Jiao sniffed. “Someone bullied me…”
Yan Zhengchen’s tone darkened. “Where are you now? I’ll go find you immediately.”
Chi Jiao reported the hospital’s address obediently.
On the other end of the line, the car was speeding along the road as Yan Zhengchen, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, comforted Chi Jiao. He said that they would be there soon and hung up the phone.
After putting his phone away, Yan Zhengchen turned to look at Gong Lu, who was driving beside him. “Jiaojiao is crying. She’s at the hospital now. I don’t know what happened.”
Gong Lu’s gentle expression instantly darkened, and his eyes behind his glasses had a cold glint to them. “Which hospital? We’ll head over immediately.”
Yan Zhengchen gave him the address as Gong Lu sped to the hospital as quickly as possible and arrived at the ward Chi Jiao mentioned.
“Jiaojiao, are you alright?” Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu hurriedly pulled open the ward door and walked in. In the end, they saw Chi Jiao sitting by the bed, patiently feeding Quan Jue porridge.
Chi Jiao had never liked to wait on others. Why was this brat being treated so well?
At the thought that they had never received such treatment before, Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu looked at each other. They could see the envy, jealousy, and hatred in each other’s eyes.
“I’m alright.” Chi Jiao put the things down and introduced them to each other. “Brothers, this is Brother Quan Jue. Brother Quan Jue, these are my other two brothers, Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu.”
