When Chi Jiao and Quan Jue returned home, Auntie Zhou was busy cooking in the kitchen.
Quan Jue rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing a small section of his fair arm.
“I’ll go to the kitchen to prepare the food you want to eat. Go play with Shen Xing,” Quan Jue said in a mild voice.
Chi Jiao nodded.
Soon, Quan Jue and Auntie Zhou prepared a table full of delicious dishes. They looked and smelled wonderful.
Chi Jiao and Shen Xing were captivated by the aroma and couldn’t wait to go to the dining table.
“Wow, the food today is so fragrant!” Shen Xing drooled as it stared at the table full of good food.
Aunt Zhou brought the last bowl of sweet corn and spare ribs soup to the dining table. She couldn’t help smiling. “Most of the food on this table was prepared by Young Master Quan. I just helped out. Speaking of which, Young Master Quan’s culinary skills are really good. First Miss is so lucky.”
Chi Jiao’s face flushed red. She asked Auntie Zhou, “Auntie Zhou, is my father not back yet?”
“Mr. Chi said that he has something on today and won’t be back for dinner. He asked First Miss to eat first,” Auntie Zhou replied.
“Daddy is probably working overtime again. Auntie Zhou, do you want to sit down and eat with us?” Chi Jiao invited her.
Aunt Zhou was overwhelmed by the invite and hurriedly waved her hand. “No need, no need. First Miss, you don’t have to be so polite. My daughter is still waiting for me at home. I’ll go back after you guys are done eating.”
“Auntie Zhou, you should go home early then. We’ll clean the dishes,” Quan Jue said calmly.
Auntie Zhou didn’t refuse. She nodded and left.
Chi Jiao and the others also sat down and ate together happily.
Quan Jue’s cooking was very good. Chi Jiao and Shen Xing were full of praise and ate more than usual.
After dinner, Chi Jiao couldn’t convince Quan Jue to let her help. She watched as he cleared the table and washed the dishes in the kitchen.
Looking at Quan Jue’s charming back profile, a radiant smile appeared in Chi Jiao’s eyes. She went up and hugged his waist from behind. She hugged him tightly as if she couldn’t bear to let go.
Quan Jue smiled gently. His tone was filled with indulgence. “Don’t fool around. I’m busy washing the dishes. You might be splashed by soapy water.”
“I’m not afraid. You didn’t let me do anything. Look, you cooked and are washing the dishes now. I’ve become a little worm.” Chi Jiao raised her little face and stared at him.
Quan Jue raised his hand and gently tapped her little nose. “Isn’t it good to be a little worm?”
“Not good. What if Brother despises me?” Chi Jiao said seriously. After she finished speaking, she hugged him even more tightly. “Brother, I don’t like others to like you. Don’t let other girls come near you in the future, okay?”
“Okay.” Quan Jue agreed without hesitation. He reminded Chi Jiao softly, “It’s already so late. Call Uncle and remind him to have dinner.”
“Dad is always like that. He clearly promised me that he wouldn’t work so hard and would balance between work and rest.” As she spoke, Chi Jiao took out her phone from her pocket and called Chi Mingwei.
But she was met with a busy tone. She couldn’t get through.
Chi Jiao refused to give up and dialed again.
She still couldn’t get through to Chi Mingwei.
Chi Jiao tilted her head in confusion. “Strange, why can’t I get through to Daddy’s phone?”
