Big Shot Little Jiaojiao Breaks Her Persona Again

Chapter 126: Why Did This Foul Mouth Mention Quan Jue for No Reason?

Chi Jiao stood in front of the dessert counter with a small plate in her hand. On the plate was a strawberry mousse cake.

The desserts in this hotel had always had a good reputation and suited Chi Jiao’s taste better.

Standing alone, she attracted the gazes of many other guests.

“Which family is she from? Why does she look so unfamiliar?”

“Her? She’s the Chi family’s Second Miss, Chi Jiao. I saw her at Old Master Chi’s birthday banquet last time.”

“She’s really pretty.”

“Haish, what’s the use in being pretty? Look at Lan Yunhan, he only has eyes for Chi Yan.”

“…”

The voices of various discussions entered Chi Jiao’s ears, and sympathetic gazes were also directed at her.

In their eyes, Chi Jiao had become the pitiful girl who had been abandoned by Lan Yunhan.

However, Chi Jiao didn’t pay them any mind as she remained concentrated on eating her pastry.

She didn’t even notice when someone approached her.

Xu Ye was finally willing to follow his family’s plans for today. However, he didn’t expect to bump into Chi Jiao at the Lan family’s banquet.

His heart ached when he saw the girl standing alone in front of the dessert counter while being pointed and talked about by others.

When he reached her side, Xu Ye realized that she hadn’t noticed him at all. Instead, he stood beside her and stared at her deeply.

His gaze was unimaginably gentle and focused.

Seeing bread crumbs on Chi Jiao’s lips, Xu Ye couldn’t help but try to reach out to wipe them away.

However, before his hand could touch her cheek, she suddenly turned her head to look at him as if she had been electrocuted. At the same time, she grabbed his wrist at lightning speed.

That small and thin hand was like a pair of iron clamps, causing Xu Ye to frown in pain.

“It hurts, it hurts.” Xu Ye moved closer to her face and whispered, “Please give me some face and release me, quickly.”

Chi Jiao’s reaction was completely subconscious. When she saw that the person in front of her was Xu Ye, she let go of him.

“What did you want to do just now?” Chi Jiao asked with raised eyebrows.

Xu Ye moved his wrist that now had a red mark on it and looked at her in confusion.

Last time, Chi Jiao threw him over her shoulder. Today, she did this to him. He really wanted to know how her small body could have such a sensitive reflex and explosive power.

“It’s nothing. There are bread crumbs near your mouth. I wanted to help you get rid of them.” Xu Ye curled his lips into a slightly roguish smile.

Chi Jiao raised her hand and scraped the bread crumbs off the corner of her lips. Then, like a wary cat, she looked at him. “Don’t come so close to me next time.”

Xu Ye raised his thick eyebrows. “We’re deskmates, Chi Jiao. You don’t have to act like you’re guarding against a criminal, right?”

Chi Jiao couldn’t be bothered to talk to him anymore. She picked up the yogurt on the table beside her and took a small lick to taste it.

Seeing how she tasted the yogurt like a kitten, Xu Ye’s heart felt like it was being tickled by feathers.

Enduring his pounding heart, Xu Ye looked at Chi Jiao and asked, “Why didn’t Quan Jue come with you?”

“Brother Quan doesn’t like such events.” Chi Jiao’s tone unconsciously became gentler when she mentioned Quan Jue’s name.

Xu Ye felt that her gentleness was like a knife stabbing his heart, making him feel the urge to slap himself.

F*ck, why did this foul mouth of his mention Quan Jue for no reason?

“Do you have a dance partner tonight?” Xu Ye asked again.

Chi Jiao shook her head.

Xu Ye immediately bent down and elegantly reached out to her. “Then, do I have the honor to invite Student Chi Jiao to be my dance partner?”
