Chapter 296 - Jiaojiao Really Likes That Quan Brat a Lot

After walking out of the main hall, Chi Jiao went to find Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu.

She briefly told them about her conversation with Jiang Shen and the rest.

“No matter what decision you make, we will support you.” Gong Lu’s sapphire eyes looked at her gently, but his gentle tone seemed to give her endless power.

Chi Jiao smiled and nodded.

“Jiaojiao, this is a serious matter. If you want to do it and need our cooperation, you have to tell us.” Yan Zhengchen looked at her sternly.

Chi Jiao nodded obediently.

Only then was Yan Zhengchen assured. He took a step forward and wanted to caress her hair.

Sensing his action, Chi Jiao took a step back and avoided his large hand.

Yan Zhengchen’s hand froze in midair. He looked at her in disbelief, shocked that she would avoid him.

“Brother Chen, I’m not a child anymore. Don’t keep caressing my head,” Chi Jiaojiao said righteously to him.

Just as she said that, Yan Zhengchen recalled the scene of Quan Jue rubbing Jiaojiao’s head.

At that time, Jiaojiao looked as if she was enjoying herself like a kitten.

Yan Zhengchen’s heart ached as he instantly understood something.

Just like that, our Jiaojiao has been abducted by that brat from the Quan family.

“Brother Chen, Brother Lu, I’m going to find Quan Jue.” Chi Jiao waved at the two of them happily before turning around and running towards the guest room.

They looked at her bunny-like back view and thought of the same thing at the same time.

When a girl comes of age, she can’t be kept.

“Jiaojiao doesn’t let me touch her hair anymore,” Yan Zhengchen said begrudgingly. “She never treated me like this in the past.”

Upon hearing this, Gong Lu reached out to touch his head to comfort him.

Yan Zhengchen glanced at him. “It feels like you’re petting a dog.”

“…I just wanted to try and see the difference between touching your head and Jiaojiao’s,” Gong Lu said.

“Is there any difference?” Yan Zhengchen’s eyes lit up as he asked.

“When I touch Jiaojiao, I feel like I’m petting a kitten. But when I touch you, it really feels like I’m petting an old dog,” Gong Lu said with a smile.

Yan Zhengchen’s eyes widened in shock. He couldn’t believe Gong Lu would say such words.

“Must you stab me in the heart at this moment? Our Jiaojiao has been abducted by the brat from the Quan family,” Yan Zhengchen said.

Gong Lu raised his eyebrows. “What can you do? Can’t you tell? Jiaojiao really likes that Quan brat a lot.”

Yan Zhengchen rubbed his tall nose in frustration. “When we return to Shang Jing, I have to find Quan Yan again.”

He was unhappy that the Quan family had abducted their little Jiaojiao. Therefore, he would naturally seek revenge from them.

“Bring me with you.” Gong Lu had always felt that the lesson they taught Quan Yan the last time was too light.

“Let’s go back to our room, too. It’s a little cold outside,” Yan Zhengchen said to him.

“Yan Zhengchen, you’re already an adult. Why must you stay in the same room as me?” Gong Lu asked in confusion as he was dragged toward their room.

“Because I’m afraid of the dark,” Yan Zhengchen’s calm voice was heard slowly.

“Do you have any shame?”

“I can. It’s because I’m lonely.”

“Pretend I didn’t ask. You have long lost any face. It will never return…”

As their voices faded away, Chi Jiao reached Quan Jue’s room.
