Chapter 624: Still Pouting at Your Age

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After hanging up the phone, Chi Jiao was completely awake now.

There must be a connection between She Qi and the Mount Peng Haunted House.

This was Chi Jiao’s intuition.

Therefore, this trip to the Mount Peng Haunted House was absolutely necessary.

There were still a few days to prepare. Chi Jiao decided to take a few days off from school. She would go back to school after she returned from the Mount Peng Haunted House.

With this thought, Chi Jiao got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

Fifteen minutes later, Chi Jiao appeared in the living room dressed neatly.

“Father Quan has gone out.” Shen Xing was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed like an old lady. It was holding a bag of potato chips and its mouth was filled with chips. It was chewing loudly. “Before Father Quan left, he told you to call him when you wake up.”

The corners of Chi Jiao’s eyes twitched when she heard Shen Xing addressing Quan Jue as “Father Quan”. But she couldn’t be bothered to correct it.

Since Shen Xing started eating food prepared by Quan Jue, it developed an inexplicable emotional attachment towards him, dispelling its fear of him. Now, Sheng Xing liked to stick to Quan Jue.

Quan Jue’s tolerance for children was higher than Chi Jiao thought.

Therefore, Quan Jue treated Shen Xing quite well.

When Auntie Zhou heard Shen Xing’s voice, she walked out of the kitchen and said to Chi Jiao, “First Miss, lunch is almost ready. Do you want to eat at home?”

Chi Jiao shook her head. “No need. I need to go out for a while.”

After leaving the house, Chi Jiao called Quan Jue.

“You’re awake?” The young man’s low and gentle voice came through the phone.

“I just woke up and am about to go out. Where are you?”

Before Quan Jue could reply, a rustling sound could be heard on the other end of the line. Immediately after that, Quan Jue’s phone seemed to have been snatched away by someone.

A bright and lovely female voice sounded from the other end of the line.

“Is that Jiaojiao? I’m Quan Jue’s mother.”

Upon hearing Lu Xian’s voice, Chi Jiao’s fingers twitched. Her lips curled up slightly. “Hello, Auntie.”

When Lu Xian heard Chi Jiao’s sweet voice, she was so happy that she couldn’t stop grinning.

“Jiaojiao, Auntie will treat you and your father to dinner tonight. Are you free?” Lu Xian kept dodging Quan Jue, who was trying to snatch his phone back. She continued, “You must not reject Auntie. It wasn’t easy for Auntie to be able to talk to you.”

Since Lu Xian already put it this way, it would be unreasonable for Chi Jiao to reject her.

However, Quan Jue didn’t want Lu Xian to meet Chi Jiao and her father. She didn’t want to go against his wishes.

Just as Chi Jiao was in a dilemma, Quan Jue finally snatched his phone back.

“If you have time tonight, come out with us for dinner.” Quan Jue’s voice rang out.

Standing by the side, Lu Xian couldn’t help smiling when she saw that Quan Jue finally relented.

“Daddy might not be free, but I have time tonight,” Chi Jiao said.

“Shall I pick you up from home tonight, then?” Quan Jue asked.

“Alright, I’ll go home earlier tonight to wait for you.” Chi Jiao agreed.

After hanging up, Quan Jue turned to look coldly at Lu Xian.

Lu Xian noticed his displeasure and pouted. “What’s wrong with wanting to meet my future daughter-in-law?”

“You’re still pouting and acting coquettishly at your age. Don’t you feel ashamed?” Quan Jue frowned slightly..
