I'm Investigating妖怪Cases in the Human Realm

As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...

Chapter 237 Dinner Party

"Qi, Brother Qi, I didn't mean to do anything~"

Little Cabbage felt incredibly shy being held in Qiongqi's arms. He pushed against Qiongqi's chest, trying to push him away, saying, "Let me go first!"

After spending a few days with Xiaobaicai, Qiongqi gradually figured out Xiaobaicai's personality and knew that he was a soft and cute little guy. So he deliberately hugged him and wouldn't let go, teasing him, "Oh dear, I can't take it anymore, Xiaobaicai is just too cute, what should I do if I can't bear to let go?"

"No, Qi-ge, my colleagues are all here. Stop fooling around, it wouldn't look good if they saw us like this~"

Little Cabbage was afraid that Yue Jiuling and the others would see her in her current state, so she pushed Qiongqi with all her might again.

Qiongqi already knew that Yue Jiuling and the others had arrived. Seeing how worried Xiaobaicai was about being seen, he was actually a little unhappy, but in order to make things easier for Xiaobaicai, he reluctantly let go in the end.

However, when he let go, he played a little trick. He only let go when Yue Jiuling happened to be looking over, and he even rubbed Xiaobaicai's head with his hand. The action was very intimate. That's right, he did it on purpose to declare his ownership of Xiaobaicai!

As soon as Yue Jiuling got up to the rooftop, she saw Xiao Baicai being hugged and having her head patted. Her composure immediately nearly exploded!

That's right, it's only half-fried. Although Xiaobaicai has no relationship with Qiongqi in this life, she was Qiongqi's lover in her past life. Moreover, according to Qiongqi's personality, Xiaobaicai will eventually be his. In addition, Qiongqi is so powerful that Yue Jiuling doesn't dare to really compete with Qiongqi for Xiaobaicai. Therefore, Yue Jiuling only dares to half-fried her.

"Little cabbage, what are you doing?"

After seeing Qiongqi pat Xiaobaicai's head, Yue Jiuling immediately ran over to ask them. She even deliberately pulled Xiaobaicai towards the flowerpot next to her and said, "By the way, I heard you've been planting flowers and grass these past few days. How's your injury healing?"

When Xiao Baicai saw Yue Jiuling, he no longer cared what Qiongqi had done to him. He said, "My injuries should be almost healed, but Brother Qi keeps saying that my health is too poor and I need to take good care of myself. He told me not to go back to work yet."

Speaking of healing, Bai Xinyu and Mu Xiaoyi immediately came to see Xiaobaicai. Bai Xinyu said, "Xiaobaicai, let me see you. I remember you were injured on your shoulder, right? I heard from Long Er that one of your leaves was broken off back then. Are you better now?"

Bai Xinyu looked at Xiaobaicai's shoulder and noticed that the wound there had long since disappeared. She happily said, "Wow, your injury healed so quickly! You can go back now..."

Bai Xinyu originally wanted to say that Xiaobaicai's injuries had healed and she could go back, but when she turned her head, she saw Qiongqi standing to the side, looking at her with a warning gaze. She immediately dared not say anything more and quickly changed her words, saying, "However, however, Xiaobaicai, although your injuries have healed, your body is indeed too weak, so you should rest and recuperate here."

Yue Jiuling and Mu Xiaoyi had been by Bai Xinyu's side the whole time, so they noticed Qiongqi's gaze. Although Yue Jiuling had always wanted Xiaobaicai to go back, seeing Qiongqi's eyes now, she suddenly felt intimidated for some reason, and then cooperated with Bai Xinyu, saying, "Yes, you need to take good care of your injuries, but, Cai Cai, it's fine for you to take care of your injuries, but you can't keep bothering the boss. So you should get better quickly and go back to work~"

Mu Xiaoyi also said, "Um, that's right. By the way, after talking for so long, I'm hungry. Why don't we go down and eat first?"

As a human, Mu Xiaoyi was more timid than her sisters and didn't dare to say much. She immediately changed the subject and started talking about food.

After listening to their words, Xiaobaicai felt that they made a lot of sense. He nodded and said, "Yes, what you said is right. I understand. I've grown up and I'm sensible now. I won't bother Brother Qi."

"Alright, you've been chatting for so long, the food's almost cold. Let's eat first."

When Qiongqi heard Xiaobaicai say that she wouldn't bother him anymore, he suddenly felt that his plan might be in jeopardy. So he immediately changed the subject and said, "Xiaobaicai, call all your colleagues upstairs. I asked Qingquan to reserve a private room for you. It'll be better to eat in a private room."

"Okay, thanks, Brother Qi."

Upon hearing that Qiongqi had reserved a private room for their colleagues, Yue Jiuling immediately called up the few people who were still downstairs. She said, "Last time we came, we could only eat in the main hall. Private rooms were only for VIP customers. I didn't expect that we could enjoy them this time."

"Hehe~ If you like, you can come often. You are all Xiaobai's colleagues, and you are already VIP customers."

Qiongqi glanced at Yue Jiuling after hearing her words and said, "It's because Xiaobai is on good terms with you all~"

"Uh, hahaha~ thank you so much."

From Qiongqi's words, it's clear that he already felt Xiaobai was definitely his. Although the others who understood were still reluctant to let Xiaobai fall into the beast's 'trap', they didn't dare to say anything to refute him and could only laugh awkwardly throughout.

Ya Zi then walked up to Qiong Qi and whispered, "Uncle, our little cabbage is still young, you must take good care of him~"

Qiongqi gave his second nephew a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry, Xiaobai is my treasure, I will take good care of him."
