Before Xu Lingling had a chance to touch Chi Jiao, Quan Jue pushed her aside.
He’d never hit a woman, but when it came to Jiaojiao, there were always exceptions.
Xu Lingling stumbled and almost fell.
She stumbled back a few steps before she managed to steady herself. In a sorry state, she looked up and met Quan Jue’s gaze.
His cold and ruthless gaze was like an icy knife viciously stabbing into Xu Lingling’s heart. She couldn’t help but feel fearful.
Another person in the crowd was staring closely at Xu Lingling with resentment.
However, Xu Lingling’s attention was focused on Quan Jue and Chi Jiao, so she did not notice it.
At this moment, the siren of the ambulance resounded in the hall.
“If anything happens to my brother, I won’t let you off.” Xu Lingling glared at Chi Jiao and walked towards Xu Ye.
“We should leave, too,” Quan Jue whispered to Chi Jiao.
The ambulance had already arrived, so there was no need for Chi Jiao to stay. She bade farewell to Yi Lanlan and Dang Nan before leaving with Quan Jue.
The two of them walked out of the Xu family’s villa. The car responsible for sending them here was still waiting outside.
When Quan San, who was sitting in the car, saw Quan Jue and Chi Jiao coming out together, he quickly opened the door and walked out.
“Young Master, what happened inside?” Quan San saw the ambulance earlier and asked Quan Jue worriedly.
“It has nothing to do with us,” Quan Jue replied indifferently.
Quan San nodded and did not ask further. He opened the car door for him and Chi Jiao.
Chi Jiao got into the car first, followed by Quan Jue.
After Quan San started the car, Quan Jue took out a small blanket and covered Chi Jiao’s legs.
“Young Master, should we send Miss Chi home?” Quan San asked.
Quan Jue grunted in acknowledgment.
Chi Jiao looked at his side profile and couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Quan, don’t you have anything to ask me?”
“If you want to tell me, you’ll naturally tell me.” Quan Jue glanced sideways at the girl sitting next to him, his gaze filled with anticipation. “Jiaojiao, is there something you want to tell me now?”
He had always felt that Jiaojiao had secrets.
But if she didn’t want to bring it up, he wouldn’t ask.
This was the most basic respect he should have for her.
She did not intend to hide everything from him. “I grew up with my god grandfather since I was young. My god grandfather used to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, and I learned a lot about Chinese medicine from him. The pill that I gave Xu Ye just now was made by me. It has the effect of stopping one’s bleeding.”
“I believe you.” Quan Jue reached out to hold her hand. “But you saved Xu Ye in front of me. Do you think I am angry, or should I not be?”
With that, he moved his lips to Chi Jiao’s fair neck and blew gently at it.
Chi Jiao’s petite face instantly turned red. She felt itchy and numb on her neck.
“How would I know if you’re angry or not?” Chi Jiao lowered her head.
Quan Jue reached out and pinched her sharp chin, making her look up at him.
“If it’s my selfishness speaking, then I’m very angry.” Quan Jue’s handsome face was almost touching Chi Jiao’s. He lowered his eyes, and she could clearly see his thick and dark eyelashes.
