Chapter 96 (2/2)

“Ninth Huang Shu is back.” Yin Qiao quietly said the  sentence while bowing her head down.

“What!?” Jing Yue was so shocked that she almost jumped and felt like she had lost her soul. She blinked her eyes. Not until Jing Yue walked into the room and saw Xiao Chen sitting on the couch, leisurely drinking tea, that she finally had a response, ‘Xiao Chen is back?’

‘When did it happen?’

‘Why did she completely have no idea about it?’

Xiao Chen stared at Jing Yue with narrowed eyes and put the teacup in his hand down before saying,  “The people have been sent off?”

“Ke ke(cough)…… sent…… have been sent off.” Jing Yue stood frozen without daring to budge.

“They are your friends?” Xiao Chen asked again.

“Yes……” Jing Yue’s head was drooping even lower. She is currently living under someone’s roof ah! At first, it should have been all right to take her friends inside and play, taking advantage of Xiao Chen’s absence, but then why did Xiao Chen suddenly come back? Moreover, it seemed like he had been back for quite a long time!

She was caught red-handed ah!

Seeing Jing Yue’s appearance as she hung her head down, a smile flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. He spoke with a deep voice, “Without Benw.a.n.g’s permission, secretly taking outsiders into the fu, you say, how should Benw.a.n.g punish you?”

“This……. That……” Hearing Xiao Chen’s words, Jing Yue felt panic, pondering over how she should explain. However, once Jing Yue raised her gaze and saw those blank and unwavering black eyes of Xiao Chen, she instantly hung her head down in silence. She pouted and said, “I was wrong……”
