Chapter 23 (2/2)

Cang Xing was the driver that Xu Jiaojiao had accused of looking scary. He was a veteran with good driving skills and even better combat skills.

Pei Yan hesitated. “Mr. Qi, if you’re worried about getting Miss Xu involved, you can send her back to the Xu family. Cang Xing has been by your side for many years, and he has always protected you…” Before he could finish speaking, Qi Shenbai looked up at him. Pei Yan fell silent and could not help but ask, “Mr. Qi, are you no longer averse to women? Or is Miss Qi the only…”

Qi Shenbai: “Do I look like a monster to you?”

Pei Yan fell silent.

Qi Shenbai felt that only monsters would lust over a girl seven years younger than them!

…

Qi Shenbai returned to the company to settle some matters. When he returned to Qingshui Villa, it was already late at night. The car stopped, and he strode into the house. He originally thought that the house would be silent as usual, aside from the butler who was waiting for him. Unexpectedly, when he entered the house, he did not see the butler. Instead, a bright voice reached his eardrums. “Mr. Qi, you’re back.”

Qi Shenbai was surprised to see Xu Jiaojiao walking out of the kitchen. “You aren’t sleeping yet?”

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head. “I’m waiting for you to come back for dinner.”

“Waiting for me?”

“That’s right. I promised you this morning that I would make you dinner as an apology. Have you forgotten?” After Xu Jiaojiao said that, she thought of something. “It’s already so late. You haven’t eaten, have you? If you have, I’ll cook again tomorrow.”

She turned around and headed to the kitchen, but Qi Shenbai stopped her. “I haven’t had dinner.”

Xu Jiao’s eyes lit up. “Really? That’s great. I won’t have to throw away the food I made.”

Xu Jiaojiao knew that Qi Shenbai did not like sweet things and was focused on training his body, so when she was cooking, she specially made something light. Even so, it still tasted very good. It was a simple three dishes and a soup. There were meat and vegetables, and the entire meal was nutritious.

When Qi Shenbai saw that Xu Jiaojiao had only brought out a pair of chopsticks and one bowl, he raised his eyebrows slightly. “You’re not eating?”

Xu Jiaojiao smiled embarrassedly. “I was too hungry at night, so I ate in advance.”
