A radiant smile blossomed on her face the moment Chi Jiao saw Quan Jue.
She quickly stood up and walked over to him.
“Brother Quan, you’re here.”
Quan Jue stopped in his tracks and looked at the bright smile on the young girl’s face. He walked up to her and touched her face. His actions were natural and affectionate.
“I was delayed by something just now, so I came late.” Quan Jue’s gaze instantly softened when he lowered his eyes to look at her.
“No problem.” Chi Jiao looked up at him with sparkling eyes.
Meanwhile, Xu Ye watched as they looked at each other. He felt as if a hole had been dug in his heart.
He felt empty and miserable.
Unwilling to be ignored just like that, Xu Ye stood up and walked to their side. He looked at Quan Jue and said, “Quan Jue, it has been a long time since we last saw each other.”
His feelings towards Quan Jue were rather complicated.
If he had known that he was his aunt’s son, he would never have targeted him.
Quan Jue glanced at Xu Ye indifferently before asking Chi Jiao, “Why is he here?”
Before she could reply, Xu Ye beat her to it. “I’m here to look for Jiaojiao, of course. Any problem with that?”
Quan Jue looked at him and could clearly see the provocation in his eyes.
Faintly smiling, Quan Jue reached out and grabbed Chi Jiao’s shoulder, pulling her into his arms.
“Everyone who visits is a welcomed guest. No problem.”
Whether it was Quan Jue’s words or actions, Xu Ye could feel that this person was declaring his sovereignty over Chi Jiao to him.
Xu Ye secretly gritted his teeth. His fists felt a little itchy.
“Quan Jue, let’s go out and talk,” Xu Ye said slowly.
Quan Jue raised an eyebrow. “Alright.”
Xu Ye took a long look at Chi Jiao before striding out.
“Brother Quan, don’t fight,” Chi Jiao tugged at Quan Jue’s sleeve.
Quan Jue and Xu Ye’s relationship was now different from before. She didn’t want to see the two brothers get into any more physical conflicts.
Quan Jue rubbed her head. “Don’t worry, I can’t be bothered to fight him.”
With that, he turned around and followed Xu Ye.
Watching Xu Ye and Quan Jue walk out of the shop, Chi Jiao sighed softly.
Some people were born to be enemies, such as Quan Jue and Xu Ye.
After Bai Weiyu and Dang Nan had a good tour of the second floor, they went downstairs to look for Chi Jiao.
“Eh? Where’s Xu Ye?” Dang Nan asked curiously when she saw that she was alone.
“He went out for a while. Do the two of you want your fortunes read?” Chi Jiao asked with a smile.
Bai Weiyu originally did not believe in such things, but now, she treated Chi Jiao as her religion.
Because Chi Jiao had saved her.
Without waiting for Dang Nan to reply, she said excitedly, “Of course! But you have to accept payment. My mother said that you always have to pay after your fortune is told. That’s the rule in your line of work.”
When Chi Jiao heard that, she couldn’t help chuckling. “Alright, pay whatever you deem fit.”
She divined for Bai Weiyu first and did not find anything amiss.
“Your luck for the next two months will be better. There’s nothing you need to pay special attention to.”
Bai Weiyu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Chi Jiao’s words and looked at her with a smile. “Jiaojiao, can I look for you to tell my fortune more often in the future?”
Chi Jiao nodded.
Bai Weiyu looked at her with admiration. “You’re really too nice.”
