“Jiaojiao, I heard that you’re experiencing puppy love. Is that right?” Gong Lu, sitting opposite Chi Jiao, asked gently as he pushed his rimless glasses up the bridge of his nose.

Although his tone was gentle, the aura around him was not gentle at all. In fact, he seemed a little malevolent.

His sapphire eyes stared at Chi Jiao solemnly, not letting go of any changes in her expression.

“What are you guys doing, making such accusations? Don’t scare our Jiaojiao.” The young man sitting beside Gong Lu looked about the same age as Chi Jiao. His slightly chubby, cute baby face had a sloppy smile on it. As he spoke, he blinked his big eyes at Chi Jiao. “Jiaojiao, come and tell me secretly. Are you really in love at such a young age? It’s normal for a young lady to have the hots for someone.”

“Gu Xia, don’t spout nonsense.” Yan Zhengchen threw him a cold glare.

Gu Xia pretended to zip his mouth shut with his hand and got comfy.

Chi Jiao was bombarded by them one after another, but her expression remained unchanged. “Since you all already know, there’s no need to ask me anymore.”

Gu Xia’s expression changed instantly. He widened his puppy eyes and looked at her in disbelief.

“Jiaojiao, do you really like that adopted son?” Gong Lu asked through gritted teeth.

Chi Yexi and Yan Zhengchen’s expressions weren’t any better.

Yan Qingqing looked at the four men, who all looked like their cabbages had been eaten by pigs. She was grateful that Shen Liao wasn’t here today. Otherwise, if that bad temper of his had known that Jiaojiao was in love, he would have definitely gone to find the little boy Jiaojiao liked to fight with him.

Chi Jiao nodded confidently.

She didn’t intend to hide this matter, anyway. She liked Quan Jue. Even if the whole world knew that she liked him, she wouldn’t be afraid.

Seeing Chi Jiao admitting to it so decisively, other than Yan Qingqing, the hearts of the other four men present broke into pieces.

Their Jiaojiao was still young, how could she fall in love so early?!

Who was this lad that could make Jiaojiao fall for him?!

“So you were willing to return to the Chi family and not go to Shang Jing because of that boy?” Gu Xia held his heart as he looked at her. “You’ve made me sad.”

Chi Jiao glanced at him with a look of disdain. “Gu Xia, if you’re so free, then the laboratory in F State is lacking people. Why don’t you…”

Gu Xia hurriedly sat up straight and said seriously, “Jiaojiao, I support you. No matter what decision you make, I will support you as long as you’re happy.”

Chi Jiao snorted twice and temporarily dispelled the thought of sending him to F State.

“Hey, don’t forget who the real boss is, the few of you.” Yan Qingqing’s gaze slowly swept across the room as her tone carried a chivalrous smile. “Jiaojiao is your boss. How can you berate your boss like this?”

The men were instantly speechless.

Yan Qingqing was right. Although Jiaojiao was younger than them, she was indeed their boss.

“Why isn’t Shen Liao here today?” Chi Jiao asked suddenly.

“Master has sent Shen Liao to Country R. He will probably only be back in a week. He said that he will come to visit you alone when the time comes,” Yan Qingqing answered.

Chi Jiao nodded and reached out to touch her empty stomach. “I’m hungry. Can we order dinner?”

The originally depressed men nodded in unison. They all knew that Jiaojiao’s stomach was not good, so they couldn’t let her stay hungry.
