Chapter 226
Jiang Qiao ordered a half-sugar latte with milk, but before he could even take a sip, Wang Tang said, "You're so slow at making coffee. I'm criticizing you."
Waiter: “……………………” Who did he offend?
After getting on the plane, Yang Hua and Zhu Li were catching up on some sleep in their seats, but Jiang Qiao couldn't fall asleep and felt inexplicably irritated.
What did Wang Tang mean by that? Was he deliberately saying bad things about Mu Xue in front of her? Jiang Qiao couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, they wouldn't have much interaction in the future, so there was no need to worry about it.
Thinking of this, she relaxed, and the sequelae of waking up early also came with it. She yawned, put on her eye mask and began to catch up on her sleep.
She woke up early to begin with, and with the jet lag, she fell asleep without knowing anything. It was the sound of the voice chat that woke her up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our plane is about to land. Please fasten your seat belts. We will dim the cabin lights. Thank you! Ladies……………………"
It’s here so soon?
Jiang Qiao patted her face in a daze and checked the time on her phone. Half a day had passed and she actually slept for more than 5 hours...
"Qiao Qiao, are you hungry?" Julie saw her wake up and immediately asked with concern: "You were sleeping so soundly just now, and you ignored me when I asked you to get up and eat..."
Jiang Qiao: “…………………………”
No wonder she felt so empty in her stomach. Jiang Qiao took the small piece of bread handed to her by Julie and ate it in two bites.
It didn't work, and the more he ate, the hungrier he got. That's why when Jiang Qiao saw the man sitting in the black Maybach, he pounced on him without restraint.
Jiang Qiao's movements were so large that Lu Xun's heart tightened. He subconsciously protected her head with his hands to prevent her from hitting the roof of the car. He looked into the girl's bright eyes and swallowed back the words he wanted to teach her a lesson. He said helplessly, "Close the door..."
Someone was passing by outside, and the curious people slowed down their pace.
Jiang Qiao quickly closed the car door and threw herself into Lu Xun's arms again, looking up with a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes.
The car window blocked out the sounds from outside, and there was silence except for the sound of Jiang Qiao's heartbeat that had not slowed down due to running.
Bang... Bang... Bang..., Lu Xun's heartbeat also became unbalanced. Thinking of the girl's eagerness to run towards him just now, Lu Xun felt very soft-hearted, and there was also an indescribable bitterness...
Noisy, like a child,
He felt his throat was a little dry for some reason, and he approached with a hoarse voice: "Jiang——"
He was interrupted just after saying a word.
The girl said in a clear voice: "Lu Xun, I'm so hungry. I didn't even have time to eat lunch!"
Lu Xun: “…………………………”
The tone was depressed and complaining, and also carried the grievance of not having enough food. Well, that's good. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.
Lu Xun lost all his romantic thoughts in an instant and pinched his brows: "The airline didn't provide lunch?"
"I don't know..." Jiang Qiao pursed his lips and added: "Maybe I fell asleep and didn't know..."
Lu Xun: “…………………………”
"What do you want to eat?" Lu Xun was somewhat helpless. He pinched the girl's soft cheeks and frowned: "You didn't eat well in the past two days?"
It doesn't feel as good as it did some time ago.
Jiang Qiao felt a little guilty and whispered, "My stomach is Chinese..."
Good Chinese stomach, this is not the time to eat steak or hamburgers.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Qiao arrived home. As soon as he entered the door, he fell on the sofa without any image. The suitcase stood alone on the side.
Lu Xun naturally put their shoes in place and took the suitcase upstairs. When he came down, he had already changed his clothes.
The girl lay motionless on the sofa. Because of her posture, the edge of her skirt rolled up to her thighs, revealing her long, white legs.
Lu Xun frowned. In this weather, even if the heating was on in the villa, Jiang Qiao would easily catch a cold.
The flesh beside his leg was pinched unexpectedly, and Jiang Qiao jumped up as if he had received an electric shock, and said angrily: "What are you doing!"
The man's pinch was neither too strong nor too weak, and it didn't hurt. The tingling sensation on her thigh hadn't subsided yet, and Jiang Qiao's face was burning with shame: "Lu Xun, you, you are a hooligan!"
Lu Xun remained calm in the face of the girl's angry accusation. He took out a pack of soda crackers and a cup of hot chocolate milk and placed them on the table: "Eat something first. I'll go cook."
Jiang Qiao: “……………………”
Jiang Qiao looked at the delicious food on the table, then at the man walking towards the kitchen. Her mind suddenly skipped a beat. Is this compensation for her? !
Humph, you played tricks on her, but you only gave her a little food, not even a bag of spicy noodles. You are so insincere.
Jiang Qiao took a bite of the soda biscuit with hatred, and then took a big sip of chocolate hot milk. His empty stomach finally warmed up and it didn't hurt so much anymore.
The sound of cutting vegetables came from the kitchen. Jiang Qiao put away the half-eaten soda crackers and walked towards the balcony instead of eating them.
The aunt prepared cat food and water before leaving get off work. At this moment, the kitten 166 was eating cat food leisurely. After eating for a while, he spread out his belly and lay on the heated floor.
Jiang Qiao: “…………………………”
Jiang Qiao felt unbalanced about the life this little one led: [You only know how to eat. Look at how much weight you have gained. Which female cat will be willing to follow you in the future!]
166 turned over and wagged his tail: [Oh, so you don’t want Lu Xun anymore because he’s fat?]
Jiang Qiao: [……………………]
166 Contempt: [Hmph, superficial human beings.]
Jiang Qiao took a deep breath at this faint sarcasm. Good people don’t fight with bad cats. Good people don’t fight with bad cats. Good people don’t fight with bad cats…
After repeating this to himself three times, Jiang Qiao finally managed to calm down and didn't do anything to hurt the cat. He said in a more serious tone: "Did you find out anything about the thing I told you last time?"
Jiang Qiao did not forget the flickering figure that he did not see in the room when he was kidnapped by Jiang Chao last time. From what Jiang Chao said, that figure was his system.
After she came back, she immediately told 166 about this. I still remember 166's reaction at that time. His tail was blown up: [It, it, it upgraded?!]
[Impossible! How did it upgrade? Even if it did, it couldn’t be so fast…] 166 said in disbelief.
If it can show a shadow, then it is not far from transforming into a human. How can it be possible for an advanced system...
Although Jiang Qiao didn't understand the rules of the system, she guessed that things were not as simple as she thought when she saw 166's appearance, so she told him about Jiang Chao's replacement of the protagonist's energy to her.
166: [……………………]
166: [? ? ! ! !]
