"Why can't I come?" Xiao Feng retorted, "Is this your house?"
"Longjiao isn't here," Zhao Ce replied impatiently, clearly unwilling to say more than necessary.
But just as he finished speaking, Xiao Feng let out a soft chuckle, "Who told you she's not here?
Jiaojiao, come over!"
He gestured to the right as he spoke.
Nie Longjiao appeared at the front door, showing no objection to the nickname; after all, she owed him a huge favor, and it wasn't appropriate to embarrass him publicly.
She hadn't realized that deep down, she didn't mind Xiao Feng calling her so affectionately.
"Longjiao, you..." Zhao Ce looked at the pair at the door in disbelief.
Previously, he'd only heard Nie Longjiao had gone out but didn't know she was with Xiao Feng.
In that instant, Zhao Ce nearly lost his composure.
He took a deep breath and tried to remain calm, "Thank you for bringing Longjiao back. If there's nothing else..."
