Chi Jiao had expected people to scheme against her father, but she didn’t expect them to use such a lowdown method.
Sending his own daughter to become her stepmother?
Interesting.
At this thought, Chi Jiao smiled faintly. “Auntie Zhou, just pretend that I don’t know about this. You don’t have to tell my father.”
Auntie Zhou looked at her profound smile and couldn’t figure out what she wanted to do. She could only nod.
“Brother Quan, I’m sleepy.” Chi Jiao yawned.
“I’ll send you back to your room to rest,” Quan Jue said gently.
Chi Jiao nodded and walked alongside him towards the stairway.
The next day.
When Chi Jiao went downstairs to eat breakfast, she happened to see Chi Mingwei eating breakfast in the dining room.
Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Chi Jiao narrowed her eyes. “Daddy, didn’t you sleep well last night? Why do you look so haggard?”
Chi Mingwei hurriedly reached out to touch his face. “I slept well.”
His tone was very unconvincing.
Actually, he hadn’t slept for almost the entire night.
He had been pestered by that woman for the past two to three days. He was going crazy.
Closing his eyes, he saw that woman’s crazed face.
He had never met such a difficult woman. She was terrifying.
Chi Jiao sat down at the dining table. “Daddy, remember to drink the tea I gave you every day. It’s good for your health.”
Chi Mingwei’s heart warmed from his daughter’s concern. He smiled and nodded. “Daddy will take good care of his health. Don’t worry.”
As the father-daughter pair spoke, Quan Jue arrived at the dining room.
When he reached Chi Jiao’s side, Quan Jue reached out and rubbed her head. “Morning.”
“Good morning, Brother Quan.” Chi Jiao turned and gave him a radiant smile. She didn’t care that her hair was in a mess from his rubbing.
Chi Mingwei was tired of seeing them behaving so lovey-dovey with each other. After finishing up the milk in his glass, he stood up and said, “Jiaojiao, Quan Jue, I’m going to the office.”
Chi Jiao waved at him. “Goodbye, Daddy. Be careful.”
After Chi Mingwei left, she asked Quan Jue, “Brother Quan, are you planning to go to school?”
She saw that he had put on his school uniform.
Quan Jue nodded.
His leave from school ended today.
Moreover, he had a National Mathematical Olympiad in a few days’ time. Today, he had to go to the school to discuss some matters with his form teacher.
“You just returned after finishing a mission. Why don’t you relax today? Hmm?” Quan Jue was really worried that her small body wouldn’t be able to handle the stress.
Chi Jiao obediently agreed.
After breakfast, Quan Jue left the house in a hurry.
Chi Jiao went to wake up Shen Xing, who was sleeping soundly.
When she arrived home last night, Shen Xing had already returned to its room to sleep.
Shen Xing was dragged out of the warm blanket by Chi Jiao, its little face filled with resentment.
“I’ll bring you out for shopping.” Chi Jiao smiled. “I’ll buy you a delicious strawberry cake. Do you want that?”
At the mention of delicious food, Shen Xing’s eyes immediately lit up. It nodded vigorously like a little puppy.
The weather today was not bad. The sun was shining brightly and the temperature was just right.
Chi Jiao wore a pink bunny-eared hoodie with jeans and sneakers.. She looked full of youthful energy, but also sweet and adorable.
