Xu Jiaojiao was not too worried about that. She patted her chest heroically and said, âYou donât know this, but Iâve always had a good relationship with the elders. There are very few elders who donât like me. Donât worry.â
Qi Shenbai stared at her delicate face with his deep eyes. There was a bright and warm smile on his face. Without a second thought, he grabbed her chin and raised it before kissing her.
Xu Jiaojiao was stunned at first, but she quickly closed her eyes and quietly cooperated with him.
Qi Shenbai seemed to be addicted to her. Once he touched her, he could not stop, nor did he want to.
It was just that kissing him was too tiring. Xu Jiaojiao could not keep raising her head to reach his lips. She squeezed out a few words from between her lips in a blur, âMy neck⦠is sore.â
Qi Shenbaiâs lips reluctantly left hers. He panted slightly as he stared at her with desire.
Xu Jiaojiaoâs eyes were sparkling, and there was a hint of charm in the corners of her eyes. She complained, âYou used too much strength. My lips are numb.â
Qi Shenbai smiled. â1â11 slowly introduce you to the Qi family in the future. You just have to remember one thing. No matter what happens, donât be afraid. Iâm here for you.â
Xu Jiaojiao met his burning gaze and felt a warmth in her heart. She nodded obediently. âOkay.â
âRest early. Good night.â Qi Shenbai rubbed her head again, stood up, and left the room.
If he did not leave now, he probably would not be able to leave tonight.
The next day, the entire world was covered in white, as if they had arrived in a fairytale world.
Xu Jiaojiao packed her things and went home. Actually, she did not have many things to bring. She had all her clothes at home, so she only brought her drawing tools and tablet.
Qi Shenbai personally drove her back. Before he left, he even instructed Cang Xing to fill the trunk of the car with gifts. Once there, he explained his leave to Mr. and Mrs. Xu.
Seeing how polite he was, ATr. and Mrs. Xu naturally did not say anything else. Instead, they enthusiastically asked him to stay for lunch.
Qi Shenbai still had things to do later, so he politely declined their good intentions and only sent Xu Jiaojiao back to her room.
âItâs been too cold recently. Donât play outside for too long. You have to wear thicker clothes when you go out.â He stood at the door of Xu Jiaojiaoâs room and patiently reminded her.
Xu Jiaojiao nodded obediently and gave him a perfunctory smile. âAlright, alright. Donât worry.â
In any case, they would be separated in a while. She could do whatever she wanted. There was no way for him to know.
Qi Shenbai reached out and poked her face. âIf you dare to sneak out in a dress and catch a cold, Iâll call the family doctor to inject you with the thickest needle.â
When Xu Jiaojiao heard that, she immediately became nervous. âDonât talk nonsense. Iâm a good girl. 1 definitely wonât get sick again.â
Qi Shenbaiâs fingers circled the back of her head. He lowered his head and gently planted a kiss on her forehead. âTalk to me on WeChat. Donât forget me once youâre having fun.â
Xu Jiaojiao tilted her head and looked at him. âYou too. Send me more WeChat messages.â
Qi Shenbai pondered for a moment. âThat will depend on whether 1 miss you or not.â
Xu Jiaojiaoâs little face immediately fell. What was this? He was asking her to chat with him, but he would not do it himself?!
Seeing that her unhappiness was written all over her face, Qi Shenbai could not help but smile. âWhy do you believe everything I say?â
Before Xu Jiaojiao could react, Qi Shenbai had already stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head and kissed her hair. His deep voice sounded in her ear, âIâll miss you very, very much.â
Til also send you a lot of WeChat messages and make a lot of calls⦠Just donât find me annoying.â
Xu Jiaojiaoâs mood instantly brightened. She hugged his waist and said in satisfaction, âIâll miss you very, very much too.â
âWhen 1 miss you, Iâll call you immediately to let you know that Iâm thinking about you.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The two of them hugged each other tightly. Neither of them spoke as they quietly enjoyed the warmth of this moment.
Xu Zhengyang leaned against the door and watched the romance drama for a long time. He could not help but cough twice. âThatâs enough. Iâve been standing at the door for a while now. Qi Shenbai, do you even take me, your brother-in-law, seriously?â
When Xu Jiaojiao heard his voice, she immediately broke free from Qi Shenbaiâs embrace, her face flushed red with embarrassment.
Qi Shenbaiâs arms were empty. He frowned unhappily and glanced coldly at his foolish âbrother-in-lawâ.
Xu Zhengyang raised his chin. âWanna fight? This is my home, my territory.â
Qi Shenbai could not be bothered to bicker with him. He said unquestionably, âTake good care of Jiaojiao. For every pound of weight she loses, Iâll cut your year-end bonus by 100,000 yuan.â
Just as Xu Zhengyang was about to scold him for being a miser, he suddenly heard another threat, âOr would you rather sacrifice your fifteen-day paid vacation to the Maldives?â
Xu Zhengyangâs expression immediately changed. âMr. Qi, donât worry. I definitely wonât let your girlfriend lose any weight. 1 promise to keep her well and fed..â
