Chapter 14 (2/2)
“Roll your sleeves down,” Qiao Sinian said as he glanced at Ye Jiaqi.
Ye Jiaqi looked down. She forgot that she almost had a fight with Ms Qin.
As she looked at herself, she realized how much of a ruffian she looked like.
Compared to Qiao Sinian with his ironed black shirt, clean and spotless and with even the buttons meticulously buckled.
There remained an elegant scent of ashwood that hadn’t changed for many years.
In the past, when she had lived under the same roof as Qiao Sinian, she hadn’t realized that there was much of a gap between them. However, now the difference was huge.
Silently, Ye Jiaqi quickly unrolled her sleeves.
“How many times do I have to say it? A girl needs to act like a girl.” Qiao Sinian said in a low tone.
Ye Jiaqi immediately knew that Master Qiao was going to start telling her off again.
She twisted her hands and lowered her head.
After a while, she still didn’t speak.
“Are you mute?”
There was dissatisfaction in Qiao Sinian’s tone.
In the past, he had told her off often. However, every time he told her off, she would rustle up and argue back.
If he said one sentence, she would retort with ten.
And now, she remained this quiet? This was not like the Qi Qi he brought back.
“Yes, I’m mute,” Ye Jiaqi replied grumpily.
The corners of Qiao Sinian’s lips upturned slightly. It looked as though he was laughing. However, at the same time, it appeared as he was mocking her, “so, you can still speak.”
The atmosphere was rather stiff. It was a bit scary.
“Did you get bullied by someone?”
Whenever Qiao Sinian saw her unhappy, on instinct, he always tried to reach out and help her.
However, as soon as he realized something, he dropped his hand back down onto his knee.
Whenever she was unhappy in the past, he always liked to pat her head. It was as though he was combing through the fur of a little lion.
“No, no one dares to bully me.”
Ye Jiaqi held the next line of “except you”…
“How many times do I have to say, if you get bullied, you have to bully them back?” Master Qiao said lightly.
