Big Shot Little Jiaojiao Breaks Her Persona Again

It was still raining after dinner.

Chi Jiao followed Quan Jue back to his room.

Earlier at the dining table, Chi Jiao had refused to let him speak, so Quan Jue’s mood was a little gloomy.

Thus, when he returned to his room, he did not say anything at all.

Chi Jiao sensed that Quan Jue was unhappy. She carefully looked at his expression and asked, “Brother Quan, are you unhappy?”

Quan Jue shook his head lightly. He raised his hand and tucked a stray strand of Chi Jiao’s hair behind her ear. “It’s getting late. Go back to your room and rest. I’m a little tired.”

Chi Jiao heard the fatigue in his voice and thought he was really tired.

Today was indeed not peaceful. She shouldn’t be so willful to pester him anymore.

As this thought, Chi Jiao said softly, “Alright, then. Take a hot shower and rest early. See you tomorrow.”

With that, she gave Quan Jue a long look before turning to leave the room.

Clack!

The sound of the door closing made Quan Jue’s heart sink.

The room fell silent.

Such silence was suffocating to him.

He stood rooted to the ground for a moment. Then, he reached out and rubbed his brows. His eyes were brewing with haziness.

Is Jiaojiao angry because my attitude wasn’t that great just now?

But he really didn’t like the feeling of being unable to do anything for her.

He had failed to protect her twice in just one day. What could be more frustrating than this?

The utter defeat caused the frustration in Quan Jue’s heart to feel like a mountain pressing down on him. He felt so stifled that he could barely breathe.

He raised his hand abruptly and punched the wall.

At this moment, someone knocked on his door.

Quan Jue stood by the door and quickly opened it.

However, it was not Chi Jiao.

Jiang Xiaoli stood outside with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face as she looked at him.

Quan Jue’s aura immediately turned cold. He looked at her expressionlessly. “What’s the matter?”

“You’re the young master of the Quan family in Shang Jing, aren’t you? Your sister-in-law is my dad’s cousin.” Jiang Xiaoli didn’t care about Quan Jue’s indifference, and her smile remained bright.

Just as she said that, Quan Jue closed the door in her face.

Jiang Xiaoli looked at the closed door, and her smile finally disappeared.

She frowned and continued to knock.

Since Quan Jue did not open the door, Jiang Xiaoli kept knocking.

Her knocking gave Quan Jue a headache.

Therefore, he could only open the door again.

When Jiang Xiaoli saw the door open, she was about to say something when the youth in front of her suddenly extended his hand.

In the next second, that slender and fair hand gripped her neck tightly.

Her breathing immediately became irregular. Jiang Xiaoli looked at Quan Jue in shock, her eyes meeting a pair of gloomy and cold eyes.

Instantly, a chill spread from the bottom of her heart to her head.

Jiang Xiaoli subconsciously wanted to scream, but she saw the youth in front of her raise his thin lips and reveal a smile that could turn the world upside down.

In that instant, Quan Jue’s icy voice rang out.

“Get lost. If you bother me again, I won’t be polite.” With that, he released her and closed the door again.

There was a burning pain in her neck. Jiang Xiaoli covered her neck with her hand and looked in horror at the door.

What a lunatic!

She didn’t want this kind of lunatic! She would leave him to that little white lotus, Chi Jiao, instead!
