Chapter 1096: Little Greedy Cat, Eat Slowly

Chi Jiao didn’t feel hungry at first. Only when she smelled the fragrance of the food did she realize that she was actually famished.

Chi Jiao quickly sat down opposite Quan Jue. She took a big bite of the steaming bun and scalded her tongue, but she still muttered, “It’s delicious.”

“Little greedy cat, eat slowly. Don’t scald yourself.” Quan Jue looked at her in exasperation as he picked up some food for her.

Chi Jiao ate a lot in one go. Only after she finished all the porridge and patted her stomach did she finally burp in satisfaction. “I’m so full. Brother Quan, will I become a little fat pig if I continue eating like this?”

Chi Jiao was still a girl. She still minded her weight very much in front of the boy she liked!

A faint smile quickly appeared in Quan Jue’s eyes when he saw her worry. “No need to be afraid of becoming a little fat pig. I can still carry you.”

“Brother Quan, you’re so annoying. I’m not a little fat pig.” Chi Jiao raised her little fist and punched him. She then suddenly felt very tired and wanted to sleep.

“She Qi should be back in the basement now. I wonder what his reaction will be when he finds out that Bai Wanxi’s corpse has disappeared.” Quan Jue commented on the situation like it was no big deal.

“I would have installed a camera in the basement before leaving if I had known earlier. It’s a pity that I can’t see She Qi’s exasperated expression now,” Chi Jiao said seriously as she snuggled into Quan Jue’s arms.

“Don’t worry. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. We can slowly torture him until he goes crazy. Jiaojiao, I’ll rest with you for the rest of the morning. Then, let’s go back at noon and have lunch with Uncle and my mother,” Quan Jue suggested.

Chi Jiao was like an obedient little lamb. She was so sleepy that she couldn’t keep her eyes open anymore as she nodded and shrank into his arms.

Quan Jue’s smile deepened. He carried Chi Jiao and laid down on the sofa to rest.

About two hours later.

Zhan Tingting escorted Huo Chen all the way to Chi Jiao’s office.

Zhan Tingting had an extremely bright smile on her face as she looked at Huo Chen. “Officer Huo, our boss is inside. You can knock on the door and look for her directly if you need anything.”

Huo Chen returned her smile and nodded. “Thank you. I’ll go in by myself. Thank you for your help.”

Zhan Tingting waved and left after bidding him farewell.

Huo Chen stood outside Chi Jiao’s office, unable to contain his excitement. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. “Miss Chi, it’s me, Huo Chen.”

After that, Huo Chen saw that the door was not locked. He opened it and stuck his head in. “Miss Chi…”

The rest of Huo Chen’s words were stuck in his throat as he stood outside the door and saw a scene that he would never forget.

Quan Jue was lying on the sofa with Chi Jiao in his arms. The two of them looked like they had been resting for a while.

Huo Chen stood rooted to the ground as if he had been struck by lightning, and he didn’t know what to do for a moment.

Quan Jue looked up at him and asked calmly, “Officer Huo, how long do you plan to keep staring at us?”

Only then did Huo Chen snap out of his trance. He took a step back and slammed the office door shut.
