Chapter 17: Holding Hands

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Since you’re fine now, I won’t disturb you guys.”

Bei Qingqing had already felt the death stare from Miss Lu. If she did not act tactfully and leave now, she was afraid that Miss Lu would not be able to hold herself back.

However, just as she was about to retreat, a soft and broad hand grabbed her.

Bei Qingqing was stunned for a moment and turned around in disbelief. Chen Jiazhi’s bewitching face was smiling at her as if he was holding a puppy.

However, Lu Yao almost cried out when she saw this scene.

Chen Jiazhi actually took the initiative to hold the maid’s hand!!

How was this possible?

Chen Jiazhi was known for his cold attitude. Even though he used to be surrounded by beautiful women, he had never taken a glance at them, let alone taking the initiative to hold someone else’s hand.

What was the relationship between the two of them?!

Lu Yao clenched her fingers tightly, her heart was about to burst with jealousy.

She automatically thought that Bei Qingqing must have taken the initiative to seduce Chen Jiazhi! This Beiqingqing wanted to occupy her position as the Chen Family’s Madam, so she must have used some kind of despicable method.

Bei Qingqing came back to her senses, and her face blushed slightly.

Chen Jiazhi was actually doing such a thing in front of so many people! She did not understand how his brain worked.

She tried to gently pull her hand away, but Chen Jiazhi’s strength was too great, and she could not withdraw her hand at all.

His bony fingers sometimes rubbed the back of her hand, and sometimes gently rubbed her palm, showing no intention of letting go.

“What are you doing? Let go of me quickly…” Bei Qingqing urged Chen Jiazhi in a low voice with a red face.

After all, she had already seen Lu Yao’s fire-breathing eyes. If this continued, Lu Yao might misunderstand even further and there would be too much trouble in the future.

“Why should I let go?” Chen Jiazhi curled his lips, turned his body, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Beg me, beg me to let go of you.”

Bei Qingqing pursed her lips and snorted unwillingly.

No matter how stupid she was, she knew that begging him would only make him more excited.

“Brother Jiazhi, it’s not good for you to be like this. I think this sister doesn’t look very happy either…”

Lu Yao’s face was almost green, but she still forced a smile and pretended to be considerate.

“Oh? Really?” Chen Jiazhi opened his thin lips slightly, and there was a hint of laziness in his cold voice.

He raised his eyes and looked meaningfully at her little hand that was already a little red from the rubbing.

Then, he twisted his grip and interlocked his fingers with hers.

This time, Lu Yao’s heart sank, and she could not wait to jump up and push away the tightly interlocked hands.

Chen Jiazhi curled his lips. When he raised his head, he saw Bei Qingqing’s face that was as shocked as a rabbit.

It was like a fragile treasure. It was delicate and pitiful, but also very tempting.

He made up his mind and said softly, “Get Ah Xiang to make coffee for you. Bei Qingqing won’t make it for you.”

Throughout the entire conversation, Chen Jiazhi’s gaze had been fixed on Bei Qingqing. He could not even bear to turn his eyes away.

Lu Yao was stunned. She knew that Chen Jiazhi was talking to her just now.

She could not help but look at Bei Qingqing a few more times. This woman was dressed plainly, and there was nothing spectacular with facial features. What exactly attracted Chen Jiazhi?

However, Chen Jiazhi had already spoken. If she still wanted to order Bei Qingqing around, she would be asking for trouble. No matter how unwilling she was, she could only endure it.

“Ah Xiang, pour me a latte.”

Bei Qingqing frowned. She could now see that Lu Yao was deliberately making things difficult for her. Otherwise, why would she suddenly change her choice from Panama Red Label Aquamarine to latte?
