“Brother Quan, who’s that outside?” Chi Jiao asked him as he walked up to her.
“He’s a pervert. Ignore him,” Quan Jue said indifferently.
Chi Jiao stared at him with her doe eyes.
She felt that Brother Quan seemed to have a little secret.
She remembered that in her previous life, the Quan family had also found Quan Jue when he was eighteen years old. However, he didn’t return with them immediately.
Because during that time, Quan Jue had nothing. His proud and aloof personality didn’t allow him to return to the Quan family like this and become their appendage.
Quan Jue obviously didn’t intend to explain to her what had happened at the police station today.
The man who brought the lawyer in was from the Quan family.
However, she didn’t intend to ask further either.
Just as Chi Jiao’s gaze went back to the strawberry cake and scooped a piece of cream with her spoon to feed it to him, he suddenly spoke.
“The person outside is responsible for protecting me,” Quan Jue said indifferently. “He was sent by my family.”
What he meant to say was that his family had already found him.
Chi Jiao immediately thought of someone.
Jiang Ming.
This person was not a Chinese citizen. He had once been a special forces soldier overseas and was a mercenary. He was a person who killed for a living.
Later on, the Quan family hired him at a high price to protect Quan Jue.
Jiang Ming was very loyal to him. He even died while trying to protect him.
Jiang Ming had put on a mask earlier and appeared in such a strange way that Chi Jiao really couldn’t recognize that the person was actually one of the top ten mercenaries on the international mercenary rankings.
At this thought, Chi Jiao brought the spoon to Quan Jue’s mouth. “This is really delicious. Brother Quan, try it.”
Quan Jue looked down at the spoon in front of him as a dark glint flashed across his eyes.
The scene of Chi Jiao eating the cake slowly with the same spoon earlier echoed in his mind.
Lowering his head, he opened his thin lips and ate from the spoon gently.
The fragrant cream melted in his mouth. He had deliberately gone to a place far away to buy this cake. Previously, Lin Ye had told him that the strawberry cake from this cake shop was especially delicious. He felt that Jiaojiao would definitely like it.
The taste was really not bad.
It was so sweet that it reached the heart.
“Brother Quan, he’s still knocking on the door.” Chi Jiao could still hear the knocks from outside. “It’s already so late. He’ll end up disturbing other people. Let him in.”
“Aren’t you afraid of him?” Quan Jue asked as he looked at her.
“With you around, I’m not afraid.” Chi Jiao smiled, revealing her white teeth.
Quan Jue’s heart seemed to have been knocked gently by a little bunny, and it softened instantly.
No boy didn’t want to be the omnipotent hero in their lover’s eyes. He was also just like them.
“I’ll go see what he wants from me,” Quan Jue said as he stood up and walked out the door.
The knocking continued as Jiang Ming’s voice grew louder and louder.
“Quan Jue! You little b*stard! I know you’re inside! Open the door for me. Do you think you can hide from me like this? You have to take responsibility! Open the door…” Jiang Ming was like a resentful woman who was locked outside.
Quan Jue’s head hurt from the noise. He walked briskly to the door and opened it.
Jiang Ming’s screams stopped abruptly. Seeing that Quan Jue had finally opened the door, he lifted his feet and squeezed into the house.
“F*ck, you finally opened the door. I almost froze to death outside.”
Quan Jue looked at him indifferently. “Come with me.”
Jiang Ming felt the low pressure coming from him. He curled his lips and followed behind him obediently.
