Chi Jiao’s phone suddenly rang.
It was a WeChat message from Quan Jue.
She opened it and saw a photo of their dining table.
There were already a few dishes on the dining table. Shen Xing, that little fellow, was leaning over the table, drooling at the sight of the dishes.
“Sister Pei Yao, Beitang Lie, you two are in charge of interrogating him. You must ask for all details, including where he went with Zou Xingxing after he escaped, what kind of people he met up with, and how Zou Xingxing’s superpower evolved.” Chi Jiao stood up as she made arrangements with them.
Beitang Lie and Pei Yao nodded.
“Are you going back? I’ll send you,” Beitang Lie offered politely.
“No need. I’ll just take the public bus.” Chi Jiao looked at the watch on her wrist. It was only slightly past eight in the evening. It was still early enough to take the public bus.

The moment she entered the house, Chi Jiao smelled the aroma of food.
Auntie Zhou came over and took over her school bag. She smiled at her. “First Miss, you’re finally back. Young Master Quan personally cooked some of your favorite dishes tonight. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Chi Jiao took off her jacket and handed it to her. She smiled and said, “Auntie Zhou, have you had dinner?”
“Not yet. First Miss, I want to apply for leave from you. Today is my daughter’s birthday. I want to go back to have dinner with her…” Auntie Zhou said with an embarrassed smile.
Chi Jiao nodded without hesitation. “Of course. Help me wish Sisi a happy birthday.”
“Thank you, First Miss.” Auntie Zhou happily returned to her room to change.
When Chi Jiao came to the dining room, she didn’t see her father. Only Quan Jue and Shen Xing were there.
Quan Jue was looking at some schoolwork on his phone when he saw Chi Jiao walking over. He immediately put his phone away and stood up to scoop a bowl of porridge for her.
“Brother Quan, you’re very busy with your studies. You don’t have to specially cook for me,” Chi Jiao said.
“I promised your father that I would take good care of you,” Quan Jue said.
Chi Jiao took the bowl of porridge from him and thanked him.
“What about me? Daddy, I want fish porridge too.” Shen Xing looked at Quan Jue.
Quan Jue didn’t even look at Shen Xing. “Help yourself.”
Hearing Shen Xing call Quan Jue “Daddy”, Chi Jiao turned her head and glanced at him. “Why are you calling him Daddy?”
“Anyone who can give me good food can be my Daddy,” Shen Xing said firmly.
These words sounded very reasonable, and Chi Jiao didn’t know how to refute Shen Xing.
“Try this deep-fried prawn roll.” Quan Jue picked up a prawn roll and placed it on a small plate in front of her.
Chi Jiao picked it up and took a bite. It was crisp and fragrant. She immediately narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
Quan Jue liked her current expression very much.
Every time she ate something delicious, her little face would reveal a cute expression like that of a little kitten.
“Brother Quan, why aren’t you eating?” Chi Jiao asked curiously when she saw that Quan Jue was only busy putting food into her bowl.
“I’m not hungry yet,” Quan Jue said with a smile. He picked up another piece of fish and helped her to pick out the bones.
After the meal, Chi Jiao was very satisfied.
“Brother Quan, I have an art exhibition on Saturday. Are you interested in coming to take a look?” After dinner, Chi Jiao and Quan Jue went to the courtyard for a walk.
Quan Jue thought for a moment. He seemed to have something on Saturday.
However, nothing was more important than attending Jiaojiao’s art exhibition.
Quan Jue nodded without hesitation.. “Alright.”
