Chapter 20 - 20: Helpless When She Cries
“Master Qiao, you thought too much about it. I just accidentally bumped into you. And even if I were to climb onto someone’s lap, it wouldn’t be you!” Ye Jiaqi said as she couldn’t help but retort.
There are some wrong things that can only be done once in a lifetime.
And that one time was enough to teach her a lesson for a lifetime.
Qiao Sinian wasn’t a human but a wolf. And when wolves eat people, they wouldn’t even spit out the bones. She dares not mess with one.
There are some prices that she can’t afford!
Unexpectedly, after finishing her sentence, Qiao Sinian’s expression darkened.
He looked at Ye Jiaqi with a very displeased expression on his face whilst his eyes were scarlet.
“Say it again,” Qiao Sinian said coldly.
The surrounding air immediately felt as though it dropped below freezing point and not a single sound could be heard.
Ye Jiaqi didn’t dare to say anything. She had only said what she said in the spur of the moment.
She twisted at her hands uneasily and lowered her eyes. She didn’t dare to look Qiao Sinian in the eye.
For a while, the atmosphere was strangely quiet that you could even hear the wind from outside the window.
“Are you scared?” Qiao Sinian asked as he stared at her.
Ye Jiaqi didn’t reply. She was in fact, scared.
She could be not scared of Qiao Sinian, but she was scared of death.
But if she were to provoke Qiao Sinian, he could make her life a living hell.
What happened three years ago was the best reminder to her.
He could even abort a life that seven months old. What else could he not do?
If she were to annoy him, he would have thousands of ways to torture her.
“I haven’t even told you off and you get upset at me?”
Qiao Sinian couldn’t help but tell her off.
However, seeing her be upset to the extent of her potentially crying in the next moment made him stop.
She did that every time.
Every time he told her off, she would start to cry.
And as soon as she cried, he would feel helpless.
And later, she had learned that as soon as he was about to tell her off, she would cry. Sometimes, those tears were fake but he would still fall for that trick every time.
Three years later, she still hadn’t removed that bad habit.
Looking at her expression now, he once again felt helpless.
Ye Jiaqi kept silent and lowered her head as she ignored him.
“Spoilt,” Qiao Sinian said whilst furrowing his burrows.
He was so annoyed that he lit up a cigarette and closed his eyes to smoke.
It was all because of him that she was like this.
In this entirety of Beijing, who dared to get upset at Qiao Sinian? It was only Ye Jiaqi who dared to do so.
The Rolls-Royce continued to drive —
It didn’t take long before the car stopped at a beautiful location.
In the distance, the mountains were stacked with green scenery. The flora was lush and the streams were clear and beautiful.
The stream flowed from the mountain and the flowers were blooming everywhere. The butterflies danced between the flowers and the air was filled with the aroma of gardenias and roses.
Ye Jiaqi hadn’t returned to this place in three years. Everything here was incredibly familiar and made her heartbeat fasten.
Too familiar.
She had once lived here for twelve years of her life.
From a certain day onwards, she had treated this place as her home and it had provided her warmth.
And of course, if that thing didn’t happen three years ago…
The car stopped in front of an iron door where many servants were already standing.
“Master Qiao,” the driver had gotten off the car to open the backdoor.
Ye Jiaqi was a little uncomfortable as she was about to meet people she was familiar with. What should she say, and what should she do.
She was at a wits’ end.
Qiao Sinian had already gotten out of the car. He came over to Ye Jiaqi and knocked on her door, “Come out.”
Ye Jiaqi quickly retracted her thoughts and her subconsciousness told her to hide.
“Do you not even recognize your home?”
Qiao Sinian looked at her face that was full of resistance and frowned.
Ye Jiaqi looked up before shaking her head and then nodding it.
“Master Qiao.”
“Aunt Lu!” At this moment, Ye Jiaqi heard a familiar voice coming from outside the car. It was Aunt Lu!
At this, she attempted to get out of the car.. It was probably because she was too excited but as soon as she stepped out, her head hit the top of the door!
