“It’s alright, ma’am. We still have to thank you for helping us,” Xu Jiaojiao said.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work.”
Xu Jiaojiao nodded. “Thank you.”
After the cleaning lady left, Qi Shenbai left with Xu Jiaojiao.
Downstairs, in the black Bentley, Qi Shenbai brought Xu Jiaojiao to the back seat.
“It’s so hot…” Xu Jiaojiao reached out to open the car window.
At this moment, a strong hand grabbed hers. Xu Jiaojiao looked at Qi Shenbai in confusion.
“You’ll catch a cold from the wind. Let’s keep the windows closed, okay?” Qi Shenbai explained patiently. Then, he instructed Cang Xing to turn down the air conditioner.
Xu Jiaojiao pouted and looked at Qi Shenbai pitifully. Her eyes were misty as she said, “Can we just wind the windows down halfway…”
Qi Shenbai sighed slightly and agreed. “Alright, just halfway.”
The car window was quickly rolled down halfway, and the breeze outside blew into the car. Xu Jiao jiao felt much more awake, and she squinted her eyes in enjoyment. She could not help but exclaim, “It’s so cool out. This feels great!”
Qi Shenbai looked at Xu Jiaojiao’s back affectionately. He tucked her hair behind her ear and spoke in a low and magnetic voice,
“You’re such a little drunkard.”
“I’m not.” Xu Jiaojiao wanted to retort, but just as she turned around, she met Qi Shenbai’s bright eyes. It was as if they were filled with stars, mysterious and ethereal.
Unknowingly, Xu Jiaojiao felt her heart begin to beat faster.
“Do you have something to say?” Qi Shenbai’s gentle gaze fell on Xu Jiaojiao as he patiently waited for her to continue.
“I, uh… No.”
Xu Jiaojiao did not notice that under Qi Shenbai’s gaze, her cheeks had started to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She looked extremely adorable with a troubled expression on her face.
After a few seconds of silence, Xu Jiaojiao could not help but ask, “Qi Shenbai, do you have a woman you like?”
Qi Shenbai did not expect Xu Jiaojiao to be so direct. He was stunned.
He had lived in the Qi family for many years, and later on, he had traveled extensively to earn his current reputation. It was very easy for him to detect a person’s thoughts.
He could even predict Xu Jiaojiao’s reactions to anything he might say next.
However, when he saw Xu Jiaojiao’s innocent heart and expectant gaze, he felt himself growing flustered.
