Chapter 492 - Did You Raise Some Animal?

Boom!

The crisp sound in the bedroom wasn’t loud.

But it was enough to make Gu Qiqi and Chu Junmo stop talking and look over.

As the servants had long been removed by Chu Junmo, he personally lifted the bead curtain between the study room and the bedroom to look inside.

The bedroom was decorated with an antique style. A pot of herbal fragrance seemed to be absent.

No one was there.

However, the jade inkstone that was originally placed on the bedside table in front of the screen had fallen to the ground.

It shattered into two!

Chu Junmo’s eyes darkened and the aura around him suddenly turned cold.

Gu Qiqi looked over from behind him and was surprised to see that the jade inkstone that she had given him had actually shattered.

For a moment, she forgot why the inkstone wasn’t placed on the study table but on the bedside table in the bedroom.

“How did it shatter? Is there… wind?” Gu Qiqi muttered.

Indeed, there was a small crack in the window.

Chu Junmo’s gaze was sharp as he stared behind the screen. He said slowly without batting an eyelid, “The wind isn’t that bored to something like that. Perhaps it’s… some animal.”

Once his words fell, Gu Qiqi clearly felt a chill from the bedroom.

But this coldness wasn’t Chu Junmo’s aura.

How strange!

“Animal?” She laughed. “Brother Chu, do you also like to raise pets? Are they kittens or puppies? Or lions, leopards, and giant lizards? I heard that the big chairman of the Imperial Capital likes to raise strange pets.”

Chu Junmo’s lips were cold as he slowly curved into a deep and playful smile. “It’s probably… similar to that big dog at the door just now.”

The cold aura in the room suddenly became stronger!

Gu Qiqi couldn’t help but tremble. “Brother Chu, your room is a little cold.”

Chu Junmo squinted. “Yes. Let’s return to the study room and have tea… to warm ourselves up…”

He deliberately said the words “warm up” slowly and gently.

It sounded exciting.

Unfortunately, Gu Qiqi was a big-hearted person and didn’t understand that concept at all. She rubbed her hands and obediently bounced back to the study room.

Chu Junmo slowly walked to the bedside table, picked up the broken jade inkstone, and put it in his arms.

He stopped in front of the huge screen.

He was about to turn around and investigate, but he stopped.

He took another deep look behind the screen but didn’t walk back. Instead, he turned around and returned to the study room.

The two of them sat in front of the study table. Chu Junmo held the broken jade inkstone in his palm and slowly rubbed it. “I’m sorry for ruining your gift.”

Gu Qiqi shook her head. “It was caused by a dog. It’s not your fault. I’ll choose a new gift for you another day.”

She felt a little guilty in her heart. She owed Chu Junmo a lot of favors and owed him a meal. Now, even a small gift had been accidentally ruined. She owed him a little more.

Not to mention the cooperation project that she was going to discuss with him later…

Oh, she had to let the Chu clan obtain enough benefits in the cooperation. She couldn’t treat Brother Chu badly.

That was what she thought.

But at this moment, Gong Jue, who was standing behind the screen in the bedroom, didn’t think so!

Upon hearing her say that a dog broke the jade, Gong Jue nearly tore the screen down!

He entered very smoothly and it was also easy to break the inkstone. Originally, everything was perfect. Unfortunately, no matter how much he calculated, he didn’t expect that Gu Qiqi would actually come to the Chu family as a guest!!!

This stupid woman actually looked for a man behind his back and was even caught by him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
