Chapter 804 - Actually, You Don’t Have to Be So Polite With Me

At that moment, Ruan Xiaoxiao felt a sharp pain in her head.

She couldn’t help retreating two steps back. Some color had drained from Ruan Xiaoxiao’s face, and she looked at Quan Jue as if she had seen a ghost. This was the first time she had encountered such a strange situation!

What was going on?

Quan Jue took in Ruan Xiaoxiao’s abnormal behavior and smiled coldly.

“Um, I’ll wait for you outside first.” Lin Ye sensed that the atmosphere between them was rather strange. He stood up and quickly walked out.

Ruan Xiaoxiao composed herself a little but didn’t dare to use her charm on Quan Jue anymore. She could only try her best to look at him calmly. “Senior Quan, I came to tell you that Jiaojiao and Xu Ye went to have lunch together. Jiaojiao is my cousin. I think a school bully like Xu Ye might lead Jiaojiao astray, so I want you to advise her not to get too close to him.”

She sounded like she was just concerned for Chi Jiao. A playful glint flashed across Quan Jue’s eyes as his cold smile deepened.

“It’s Jiaojiao’s freedom to interact with whoever she wants. Jiaojiao has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, so you don’t have to worry about her.” Quan Jue’s thin lips were cold to the bone.

Sensing his chilliness, Ruan Xiaoxiao clenched her fists.

She had previously thought that taking Quan Jue down wouldn’t be easy.

From the looks of it now, it was near-impossible.

But it didn’t matter.

She had already made up her mind to win Quan Jue over. She wouldn’t give up so easily!

“I know Jiaojiao has the ability to tell right from wrong, but she’s also very innocent.” Ruan Xiaoxiao’s tone was as gentle as spring water. “As her older cousin, it’s only right for me to worry about her.”

“Are you done?” Quan Jue asked coldly. Ruan Xiaoxiao’s smile stiffened. “I’m done.”

“Then, please leave now,” Quan Jue said bluntly.

Ruan Xiaoxiao knew that staying here would only annoy him further. She pretended to be hurt and lowered her eyes. “Alright, I’ll leave first. I’ll treat you and Jiaojiao to a meal when I have the time.”

With that, she turned and left.

Quan Jue watched her leave coldly before standing up and walking out of the classroom.

Standing at the classroom door, Lin Ye saw Ruan Xiaoxiao walking out first. Soon after, Quan Jue emerged. “I have something to settle,” he said bluntly.

“I understand! I’ll have lunch by myself. You go ahead,” Lin Ye said with a smile.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Quan Jue smiled and nodded before walking away.

At the Lin Ji Eatery.

Chi Jiao and Xu Ye sat by the window.

The piping hot beef noodles were served, together with various small dishes that Xu Ye had ordered.

“I don’t know what you like to eat, so I ordered a bit of everything,” he said with a smile.

Chi Jiao looked at the dishes on the table and frowned. “There’s only the two of us. We won’t be able to finish all the food.”

She didn’t like to waste food.

“I’ll be more careful next time,” Xu Ye hurriedly said when he saw her frowning.

“Let’s start eating. We’ll talk as we eat,” Chi Jiao said.

Xu Ye eagerly picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks for her. After pulling them apart, he handed them to her.

Chi Jiao took it and thanked him indifferently.

“Jiaojiao, you don’t have to be so polite to me.” Xu Ye looked at her with a complicated gaze.

Recently, he had often heard his aunt talking about Chi Jiao, saying that Jiaojiao would become her daughter-in-law sooner or later.

Every time he heard that his heart felt like it was being sliced by a knife.
