Chapter 617: Blood Clan Loyal Butler vs. Godly Lady 46
Lu Zhiyao stared at her with a look that said, "You can make up whatever you want, but I don't believe it." All the excuses Quan Jiu had prepared were stuck in her throat.
Lu Zhiyao stared at the woman who was pressed against the wall with complicated eyes.
Her facial features had not changed much compared to when she was a child, they had just become enlarged versions, so when he saw her photo in a magazine for the first time when he grew up, he recognized those lake green emerald eyes at a glance.
He sent someone to investigate her relationship, only to discover that she was the eldest daughter of the Xier family. He wasn't sure if she remembered her childhood, so he didn't dare to disturb her rashly. He could only keep an eye on her secretly. But unexpectedly, he saw that "inappropriate" recruitment notice...
"Why don't you recognize me?"
Lu Zhiyao pushed the person to the corner of the wall, leaving her no chance to escape.
Most of the time, people's memories before the age of three will be blurred and forgotten. He also hoped that she would remember him, but he didn't dare to hold too much hope.
Quan Jiu met his dark and serious eyes, pursed his lips slightly, and opened his lake green eyes wide:
"Then I returned to the vampire clan once."
Lu Zhiyao's fingertips paused slightly, and a crack appeared in his eyes for a moment:
"when?"
Quan Jiu: “When I was ten years old.”
Lu Zhiyao calculated the time. At that time, the blood clan had already moved away for nearly two years. She had come back from thousands of miles away, but she was afraid that she would find nothing.
"I'm sorry." He suddenly apologized seriously.
Although the relocation was Chris's decision, he actually had the opportunity to leave her information about the new address. However, at that time, Lu Zewen was still sending people to track down her whereabouts. If he had left the address, she might have been kidnapped by Lu Zewen's men before she found the new address.
Quan Jiu had long since stopped being angry, but today, out of guilt, she still climbed up the pole and accepted his apology:
"In that case, since you've wronged me, I shouldn't have lied to you. We're even now..."
Lu Zhiyao narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing clearly the little thoughts in her heart:
"We can't even settle the score."
Quan Jiu: “…”
Lu Zhiyao was not used to hiding things, and there were some things he had to get to the bottom of today.
"If you're still angry about me keeping the relocation a secret from you, you can punish me however you want, but our affairs must remain separate."
Quan Jiu swallowed, knowing that the thing he feared most was finally coming.
Lu Zhiyao's attention was always on her. When he saw her swallowing, the answer he wanted became clearer.
"That night at the auction house..."
He spoke slowly, and slowly raised his arm. His big, bony hand gently stroked Quan Jiu's soft, warm pink earlobe, pinching it intermittently.
He was a head taller than her. He lowered his eyes to gaze into hers, and in the gentlest tone, he asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Hill, you are willing to accept the mark because that person is me, right?"
It is impossible to say that there is no grudge in my heart.
The thought of her being just as well-behaved and being marked by another man would drive him crazy with jealousy just thinking about it.
This question was too ambiguous. After knowing the true meaning of the mark, Quan Jiu directly retranslated his question:
"Are you willing to be marked by me?"
Equivalent to
"Are you willing to be my partner?"
Quan Jiu touched the tip of her nose. She really didn't know the meaning of the mark at the time, she just thought it would be okay if he took a bite...
"Don't you have any idea?" She threw the question back ambiguously, lowered her head to avoid his gaze, and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to find something to eat..."
She slipped out from under his arm and took two steps when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist from behind and pulled her back hard!
His back hit the snow-white wall again. When Quan Jiu raised his head, a dark shadow enveloped him.
The road is very close.
The two of them were face to face. He was a mixed-race of Central and European descent, with a naturally high nose bridge. Their nose tips touched each other, and Quan Jiu could even hear his warm breathing.
Lu Zhiyao held her wrists with both hands, sharing some of his weight with her, and rested his forehead against her brows. His eyes were like a pool of ink covered with a layer of water, gazing at her deeply:
"May I?"
Their lips were very close, and with every word he spoke, the air from his mouth rushed towards her.
If she refuses, he stops.
But Quan Jiu just glared at him. That look didn't seem to be a rejection, but a bit more coquettish, more like wanting to accept but also reject:
"Can't."
She was like a cat with its fur standing on end, as if by saying yes she was indirectly answering and acknowledging the question Lu Zhiyao had asked earlier.
Lu Zhiyao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stared at her, slowly lowered his head and kissed her.
A light, passionless kiss, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
He pulled away, extended his tongue to quickly lick his slightly dry lips, and then retracted his tongue. His jaw moved slightly, as if he was savoring something:
"I think so."
With just one simple move, Quan Jiu looked away. She pushed him away and went straight upstairs.
Lu Zhiyao looked at the running woman, pursed his lips, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
………
Quan Jiu returned to the room, closed the door, and the shyness on his face disappeared.
She curled her lips slightly, returned to her bed, and glanced at the progress bar of her favorability score in her space:
Ninety-five percent.
"Tsk, Xiao Yaoyao is still easy to deal with."
If you do this a few more times, the favorability value progress bar will reach 100%.
She glanced at the favorability values of others again.
Chris: 80
Andrew: 60
Lu Zewen: 1.
The bright red 1 is even more humiliating than zero.
Zero could prove that she hadn't tried hard, but this 1 point of favorability made it seem like all her efforts were in vain.
Quan Jiu, who was immersed in joy, was immediately splashed with a basin of cold water. She sat up from the bed, crossed her legs, stared at the 1 point of favorability, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Lu Zewen..."
………
"Lance, have you lived in a tree house since you were a kid?"
Quan Jiu changed his clothes and went downstairs.
Lance stood upright beside the sofa like a stake: "Yeah."
Quan Jiu suddenly changed the subject: "Do you hate the werewolf tribe?"
Lance frowned and thought for a long time: "I don't know."
He was still very young when he was abandoned, and he didn't even have the concept of father and mother in his mind. To him, parents were completely unfamiliar words. There was no love, and naturally no hatred.
He has no friends, no relatives, and in his world, there is only Lu Zewen from beginning to end.
Quan Jiu tapped his legs with his fingertips. He felt that if he didn't give Lu Zewen some trouble, he would be sorry for the bright red favorability.
"I'll give you a mission."
Lance: "You say."
The next day, Lance was placed in a branch of the Xier family in China and became the nominal executive director.
Quan Jiu patted his shoulder and said, “Your task is to hang around in front of Lu Zewen every day.”
