Chapter 198: I Have Brother Quan to Protect Me

“Jiaojiao, now is not the time to be willful.” Chi Mingwei looked at her with a rare serious expression. “Be good and listen to me. Don’t let me worry.”
“But I really don’t need a bodyguard,” Chi Jiao said softly.
“Jiaojiao is right. She doesn’t need a bodyguard.” Quan Jue continued Chi Jiao’s words and slowly said, “She only needs my protection.”
Chi Jiao immediately beamed with happiness and nodded her head. “Dad, Brother Quan is right. As long as I have Brother Quan to protect me, it’s fine. Brother Quan protected me today, too. I didn’t get hurt at all.”
The girl’s tone was full of admiration for Quan Jue.
Chi Mingwei was utterly furious at the boy.
He felt that this kid was genuinely trying to go against him!
“Are you sure you can protect Jiaojiao?” Chi Mingwei stared at him and asked.
Quan Jue nodded indifferently. “Of course.”
Chi Mingwei knew very well that Quan Jue was no longer the poor adopted son who needed to stay in his house. He had the Quan family backing him up. It was easy for him to protect someone.
Hence, he didn’t persist on this topic. Instead, he said to him, “I’ll believe you this once.”
Quan Jue picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork with his chopsticks and placed it on a small plate in front of Chi Jiao. “Eat more and gain weight.”
— The delicate girl was really too thin and weak. She had to gain more weight to improve her health.
Chi Jiao smiled sweetly at Quan Jue and nodded.
When Chi Mingwei saw that the two of them were starting to get sweet and intimate again, he felt that he was already full despite not having eaten much.
He really couldn’t bring himself to eat anymore. Chi Mingwei remembered that he still had some company matters to deal with, so he stood up and said to Chi Jiao, “Jiaojiao, Daddy has to work overtime in the company tonight. The butler and Auntie Liu are both at home. If you have any problems, ask them to help you. Do you understand?”
Chi Jiao nodded obediently.
Chi Mingwei then looked at Quan Jue. “I heard that you rented an apartment outside. Now, Jiaojiao and I are the only ones at home. If you want to come back to stay, then come back.”
He finally understood.
Jiaojiao really liked Quan Jue a lot. Even if he objected, they would still secretly continue to interact with each other.
Rather than that, it was better to let Quan Jue come back to stay.
He did not believe that they could do anything worse under his watch.
…
Chi Jiao bidded goodbye to Chi Mingwei at the door. Before he got into the car, he couldn’t help but ask, “Jiaojiao, are you and Quan Jue dating now?”
Chi Jiao didn’t say anything. She lowered her head and stared at her toes.
Although she and Quan Jue didn’t officially put a name to their relationship, the way they interacted with each other was like a normal couple.
Seeing Chi Jiao like this, how could Chi Mingwei not understand what it meant?
He sighed heavily.
His little cabbage had not even been warmed up yet, but it was already eaten.
“Jiaojiao, Daddy only has one sentence for you. As a girl, you have to know how to protect yourself, okay?” Chi Mingwei really missed Jiaojiao’s mother right now.
If her mother was here, she could teach Jiaojiao how to protect herself.
He was a man, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to talk to Jiaojiao about this.
Chi Jiao knew what Chi Mingwei meant. She lowered her head and said softly, “Daddy, I know. I will protect myself.”
Seeing that she was still so obedient, Chi Mingwei finally revealed a gratified smile. “Daddy’s leaving first. Go in quickly. It’s too cold outside.”
“Bye, Daddy.” Chi Jiao waved at him.
