Chapter 437
…
Mu Jiao sat opposite Jing Li, looking angrily at someone who was leisurely drinking tea. She had almost become this guy's servant during this period of time!
Maybe it was because Mu Jiao's eyes were too resentful, Jing Li, who had drunk half a cup of tea, finally put down the cup and looked up at the person opposite.
"What? Do you have something to say to me?" Jing Li's tone was calm, and perhaps because he had just drunk some water, his voice was a little smooth.
"You know." Mu Jiao was annoyed and replied coldly with four words.
"I won't let you go, no matter how many times I say it. The people I sent to collect the plants you mentioned have returned, and the laboratory has also prepared everything needed as you said. Starting tomorrow, all of this will be left to you to handle." Jing Li shook his head and told Mu Jiao about his visit. He thought that as long as he was busy, he wouldn't keep telling her that he wanted to leave.
"Even if you're ready, what does it matter? I told you, I won't do anything for you unless you agree to let me go!"
During this period, Mu Jiao had no idea how many times she had talked to Jing Li. She gave in every time and was even willing to hand over all the medicinal recipes to him. However, he rejected her every time and refused to let her go.
Thinking about Huo Qi whom she hadn't seen for a long time, her own studies, the terrible experiences during this period, and her "enduring" Jing Li, Mu Jiao could no longer hold back and exploded this time.
The girl's face was filled with rage. She stood up like an angry little lion, her thin arms folded on her waist, her chest puffed out. Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open as she looked down at the man opposite her.
Jing Li sat down, Mu Jiao stood. From a distance, they watched a man and a woman, one tall, one short. One was furious and aggressive, the other calm and relaxed. If someone didn't know them, they would think the girl was bullying. But in reality, she was just being bullied.
Mu Jiao couldn't understand why she felt she couldn't compare to the other person even though she was obviously much taller than him.
What she didn't know was that aura was something that varied from person to person. Even when a man who had been killing for years and had experienced darkness could unintentionally reveal an aura that an ordinary girl like her couldn't resist.
But Mu Jiao didn't want to compromise this time.
"Little Gillian, I think you know what you shouldn't say. Now sit down, I can pretend nothing happened." Jing Li raised his eyes and stared into the girl's eyes, his expression relaxed, his tone still gentle as usual.
But Mu Jiao knew that as long as she refused, this man would definitely get angry. But so what? He was allowed to bully others!
Biting her pale pink lips, Mu Jiao spoke firmly, gazing at the man opposite her word by word:
"I don't!"
Jing Li was angry, and his face became visibly gloomy. This result was just as Mu Jiao had expected, but when she stared at the other person's dark glass-colored pupils, her heart immediately tightened, and she instinctively wanted to avoid the other person's gaze.
Mu Jiao knew that this was not a wavering of her subjective consciousness, but an instinctive reaction of her body to danger.
But even so, she didn't want to retreat. Resisting the discomfort, Mu Jiao looked back at Jing Li's dark eyes with a pale face.
Seeing this, the man's expression became even darker. It was obvious that Mu Jiao's determination made Jing Li's anger rise again.
"Oh, I haven't taught you for a few days, little idiot, and your temper has improved."
