Chi Jiao’s nervous expression instantly changed their perspective.
They had just spoken a sentence, but Chi Jiao was already so anxious to protect him.
Although they had a premonition when they saw her taking care of Quan Jue earlier, they couldn’t help but feel helpless now that their premonition had been confirmed.
Gong Lu sighed. “Jiaojiao, the waters of the Quan family are too deep. Quan Jue is the illegitimate son of the Quan family. Now that the head of the Quan family has asked him to return, his future will definitely not be ordinary. Ignoring everything else, there will definitely be more troubles like today in the future.”
Yan Zhengchen was worried about Chi Jiao. He suggested, “Jiaojiao, why don’t I send some bodyguards over to protect you? With them, you two will be safe.”
Chi Jiao shook her head without hesitation and rejected him. “There’s no need, Brother Chen. We can handle it.”
Chi Jiao knew very well that Quan Jue was an extremely proud person. He wouldn’t want to leave his safety in the hands of others. He wouldn’t accept Yan Zhengchen and the others’ help.
Yan Zhengchen didn’t insist when he saw how quickly she rejected him.
He was indeed worried about Chi Jiao. If Quan Jue couldn’t even resolve such a small problem, he would definitely not be able to amount to much in the future. Therefore, he was naturally not worthy of Jiaojiao.
After saying what needed to be said, Gong Lu changed the topic. “Jiaojiao, we just came down from Mount Li. Coincidentally, Old Master has a letter for you. We came to find you today to pass it to you.”
Chi Jiao knew that her god grandfather had never liked to use his phone. Even in this era where communication was easy, he still had the habit of writing letters. Therefore, she took the letter that Gong Lu took out from his chest pocket and kept it carefully.
“It’s not convenient to read it with so many people and eyes around. I’ll read it when I get home,” Chi Jiao said.
“Alright.” After Yan Zhengchen said that, Gong Lu stood up as well. “We’re going to take revenge for you now. Jiaojiao, you head back to the ward first and take care of Quan Jue.”
“Mhm. Brothers, take care.” Chi Jiao waved at them and watched them leave before returning to the ward.
In the ward, Quan Jue was waiting for Chi Jiao. When he saw her entering, he asked, “Have your two brothers left?”
“Mhm.” Chi Jiao sat beside him and nodded with a smile. “Brother Quan, do you want to eat more?”
Quan Jue shook his head and looked at her worriedly. “You’ve been busy for hours. Why don’t you go home and rest? Your father will be worried about you.”
However, Chi Jiao was unwilling to leave. She looked at him in awe. “I’m not tired. Brother, you’re really amazing. You actually moved right in front of me in an instant back then. You’re too handsome.”
Quan Jue was stunned. He didn’t expect Chi Jiao to see it.
He quickly came back to his senses and slowly smiled. “Jiaojiao, promise me that you’ll treat this as our secret, okay?”
For the time being, he couldn’t expose the fact that he was an Esper.
Today was also the first time he had used his special ability in front of others.
How could Chi Jiao not understand Quan Jue’s thoughts? She laid on the bed and smiled like an obedient cat. “Okay, this is our secret. I won’t tell anyone. I’m very tight-lipped.”
When Quan Jue heard this, he moved closer to her with a faint smile. “Really? Come, let me see how tight your mouth is.”
