Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xu Jiaojiao was slightly stunned. Her eyes were filled with emotions that she could not even detect. She lowered her head and smiled faintly. Suddenly, her mood brightened.
Qi Shenbai bent down and reached out to help her tidy her soft hair. Naturally, he noticed that she could not suppress her smile, and he felt happy too. “You’re not angry anymore, are you?”
Xu Jiaojiao’s long eyelashes fluttered as she softly said, “I’ve never been angry with you.”
“If you’re not angry, why are you hiding from me?” He looked up at her, his gaze burning.
Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips, not knowing how to explain herself. Why would she be angry with him? Qi Shenbai had always been very good to her. She was just a little uneasy because she had discovered her feelings for him.
It was a strange feeling. She felt both happy and slightly dejected at the thought of him. This was a feeling that she had never felt before when she liked Lu Zhuo.
Qi Shenbai did not probe further. He caressed her long hair with his hot palm. “Alright, since you’ve had enough of your tantrums, you’re not allowed to avoid me in the future.” His voice was raised at the end, and his tone was doting.
As for why she was avoiding him, although Qi Shenbai did not know the reason, there were times when girls were a little emotional and did not want to talk to others. He could understand that.
Xu Jiaojiao subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief, her clear eyes filled with happiness. She nodded solemnly, as if she was making a promise.
Xu Jiaojiao was young and had a good physique. After sleeping for a night, her body had mostly healed, and her appetite had also recovered. She ate an entire bowl of wontons for breakfast.
Qi Shenbai was relieved to see that her face was rosy and her condition had improved. “It’s been getting colder recently. You have to wear more layers when you go out. Don’t just focus on looking good.”
“I didn’t just care about my looks.” Xu Jiaojiao rolled up her sleeves and showed him the thick fur inside. “It’s plush. See, it’s very warm.”
Qi Shenbai glanced at the fluff in her sleeve. It was soft, warm, and fluffy, just like her. “Be good, okay? The next time you get sick, I’ll take you to the hospital and get you the thickest needle.”
He knew that she did not like that kind of place, so he deliberately threatened her like that.
Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said nothing.
Qi Shenbai finished his soy milk and got up to put on the coat handed over by the butler. He buttoned it slowly and did not forget to ask, “Do you have class in the morning?”
Xu Jiaojiao shook her head. “No.” At this point, she thought of something. “But I’m going to visit the Lu Family.”
Qi Shenbai stopped straightening his tie and looked up at her. The deepness in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
Xu Jiaojiao did not know why, but she felt inexplicably guilty when he looked at her like that. “Lu Zhuo’s grandmother has been sick recently. She’s always been very good to me. I want to visit her.”
Qi Shenbai nodded slightly and said, “It’s only right. Butler, go to the warehouse to pick some tonics suitable for the elderly. The madam can take them as a gift.”
“Alright.” The butler turned around and left.
Xu Jiaojiao hurriedly waved her hand. “No need to trouble yourself. I’ll just go to a nearby mall and buy some.”
“We have everything at home. Why should we spend the extra money?” Qi Shenbai straightened his tie. “Everything in the storeroom was given to me by someone else. 1 don’t need them. It’s a waste to leave them there.”
Xu Jiaojiao blinked. Did that mean that she was helping him solve his problems?
The butler came back with three boxes of gifts. Two of them were from the brand he had brought back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. They were terrifyingly expensive. If she gave them away, they would not go to waste and she could save money. It was killing two birds with one stone.
At the Lu Family’s main residence… After Xu Jiaojiao got out of the car, Cang Xing also stepped out and took out the gifts from the trunk. “Madam, I’ll help you bring them in. These things are a little heavy. You can’t carry them.”
Actually, before Mr. Qi left, he had specially instructed that Cang Xing could not be more than five meters away from the madam. He did not want the Lu family to bully her.
Ever since Old Mrs. Lu received the call and found out that Xu Jiao jiao was coming, she went out of her way to dress up. She immediately tidied herself up and put on a plain long dress. Her white hair was also tied up, making her face look a little brighter.
Not long after, Xu Jiaojiao and Cang Xing walked in.
“Jiaojiao, you’re here! Quick, sit over here.” Old Mrs. Lu waved her hand affectionately.
Xu Jiaojiao smiled and nodded. She asked Cang Xing to pass the gift to the servant next to her and then sat down next to Old Mrs. Lu.
Old Mrs. Lu glanced at the gifts and was slightly stunned. She then said to Xu Jiaojiao, “Child, I’m already very happy that you came to see me today. Why are you still spending so much money…?”
“Granny Lu, these are all daily nutritional supplements. They’re not expensive.
1 just hope you don’t mind them.” Xu Jiaojiao winked playfully..
