Chapter 12 (2/2)

Qi Shenbai did not reply. It would be strange if Xu Zhengyang believed him.

After breakfast, Qi Shenbai had to go to the office and Xu Jiaojiao had to go to school. When he saw the drawing board on Xu Jiaojiao’s back, Qi Shenbai suddenly asked, “How do you usually go to school?” There was no subway near the villa, and the nearest bus stop was several kilometers away.

“I take the bus first, then the subway,” Xu Jiaojiao replied naturally, as if it was normal for her to go through so much trouble.

“There’s a car in the garage. You can choose one.” Qi Shenbai’s tone was very matter-of-fact, talking about his cars as though they were toys. Unfortunately, Xu Jiaojiao could not make use of his generosity.

She awkwardly touched her nose and said, “Thank you, but I don’t know how to drive.” Even if she did know how to drive, she would not drive Qi Shenbai’s car. She was already bothering him too much by living in his house. If she helped herself to his car, even she would look down on herself!

Qi Shenbai was silent for a moment before he said, “Get in.” It was fine if he did not know before, but if he let her continue as usual now that he knew that Xu Jiaojiao had to walk a few kilometers to catch a bus, he was certain that Xu Zhengyang, with his fiery temper, would accuse him of bullying his sister.

“Huh?” Xu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment before she reacted and quickly refused. “No need, no need. It’s very convenient for me to take the bus.” Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, Qi Shenbai had already gotten into the car.

Xu Jiaojiao slowly shut her mouth. The driver was still waiting next to her, and she did not want to waste any more time, so she had no choice but to sit in the car.

After Qi Shenbai got into the car, he picked up the iPad beside him and looked at his work documents. He did not say a word, not even glancing at Xu Jiaojiao from the corner of his eye.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of Luo City University. Xu Jiaojiao thanked him and was about to get out of the car when Qi Shenbai asked, “When will school be over?”

Xu Jiaojiao did not know why he was asking this, but she still answered honestly, “Four in the afternoon.”

Qi Shenbai nodded and did not say anything else. Xu Jiaojiao got out of the car in confusion. When she closed the car door, she politely said, “Goodbye, Mr. Qi.”

Qi Shenbai did not react and continued to look down at his iPad. Xu Jiaojiao did not react either. She carried her school bag and ran into the school.

By four o’clock in the afternoon, the sun was already setting in the west. The moment the bell rang, the students in the classrooms became restless and rushed out one by one.
