chi jiao didn’t say anything, but just looked at ye yichen indifferently.

ye yichen’s lips suddenly curved into a smile. he looked at chi jiao sarcastically and said slowly, ” “chi jiao, i’m not going to tell you. this is a secret between me and xiaoxian.”

pei yao’s face darkened instantly as she glared at ye yichen, ” ” ye yichen, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. our boss’s patience has a limit. he doesn’t have the time to waste with you here! ”

ye yichen was even more pleased with himself. he raised his brows and laughed, ” “kill me if you can. i’m telling you, i’d rather die than submit. don’t even think about getting any information from me. unless you’re willing to let me leave this damned place, i’ll cooperate with you.”

with that, ye yichen looked at chi jiao with eyes full of unconcealable anticipation.

chi jiao was expressionless from the beginning to the end. she just nodded her head lightly, and then said in a light tone, ” “since you’re willing to cooperate with us, then forget it. sister pei yao, let’s go.”

pei yao was also very surprised that chi jiao actually didn’t care about it. however, pei yao thought that chi jiao might have deliberately wanted to kill off ye yichen’s anger, so she followed chi jiao obediently and the two left side by side.

on the other hand, ye yichen was stunned by chi jiao’s actions. the smile on his face was immediately replaced by horror as he quickly said, ” “chi jiao, you, you wait a minute. we can discuss anything, don’t be in such a hurry to leave!”

at first, he naively thought that chi jiao would agree, or at the very least, she would waver.

he didn’t expect chi jiao to leave just like that.

“i’m no longer interested in what you two were talking about. save it.” chi jiao left calmly without looking back.

ye yichen’s eyes were dull as he stared at chi jiao’s back as she left. he was completely dumbfounded.

what was going on?

this chi jiao, why didn’t she play by the rules!

after chi jiao ignored ye yichen, she returned to the office with pei yao.

” jiaojiao, why don’t we let tingting help us hypnotize ye yichen and ask him what he and aunty talked about? ” pei yao said worriedly.

chi jiao sat on the chair, took a deep breath, and shook her head.”no need. i can roughly guess what they talked about. “there’s something wrong with auntie’s condition. i think she might have already noticed that something was wrong, so she met ye yichen. also, auntie suddenly became more concerned about xu ye, so she might be suspicious.”

other than this reason, chi jiao really couldn’t think of any other reason that would make lu xian suddenly act so abnormally.

the expression on pei yao’s face suddenly changed. she hurriedly sat next to chi jiao and asked with a worried look, ” “then what should we do?”

chi jiao sighed worriedly and shook her head. ” “i don’t know,”

chi jiao had long guessed that this day would come, but she didn’t expect it to come so soon.

lu xian was a very sharp person. since she had already started to have her suspicions, she would definitely investigate it to the end. she was worried that they would not be able to hide it for long.

“if there’s no other way, i can only tell auntie the truth.” pei yao said after gritting her teeth.

chi jiao didn’t answer, which was a silent agreement.

pei yao’s words were indeed a solution.

“if aunty knew the truth, according to aunty’s personality, she would rather sacrifice herself to save xu ye. so, even if we let auntie know the truth, we have to avoid the important ones and focus on the trivial ones. otherwise, auntie’s life will definitely be in danger.” chi jiao said, full of scruples.
