âLil Bai, I like you the way you usually are.â Xu Jiaojiao felt that Qi Shenbai had been affected by her brother. Of all people, he had to imitate his brotherâs attitude. âDonât imitate my brother. I donât like it.â
âIâm not imitating your brother!â Qi Shenbai scoffed. He never liked Xu Zhengyangâs attitude and personality, so he lightly flicked Xu Jiaojiao on the forehead.
Xu Jiaojiao pretended to wince in pain.
Qi Shenbai held his hands up to protest his innocence. He barely used any strength at all!
Under Qi Shenbaiâs strong insistence, Xu Jiaojiao eventually followed him to the department store to choose a gift.
They walked in front, while the bodyguards followed them from a short distance away, keeping their distance.
Xu Jiaojiao did not lack clothes and did not care much about jewelry. She only stopped when she reached an art gallery.
There was a very warm painting of a young man and a young woman leaning against each other. The sunlight shone on them, making them look gentle and serene.
âYou like it?â Qi Shenbai looked at Xu Jiaojiaoâs dazed expression.
âMm-hmm!â Xu Jiaojiao agreed softly. âThis painting isnât perfect, but itâs very artistic. I think I can sense the artistâs heart. His heart must be gentle and peaceful.â
âThen letâs buy it!â Without thinking, Qi Shenbai gave Pei Yan a look.
Pei Yan naturally knew what Qi Shenbai meant, so he went to contact the owner of the galleryâ¦
âWill it be very expensive?â Xu Jiaojiao was a little hesitant. Since they have such a gorgeous art gallery in such a big mall, the paintings must be expensive, right?
âItâs not that expensive!â Qi Shenbai said firmly.
âHow much is it?â Xu Jiaojiao asked cautiously, afraid of hearing that terrifying figure.
âNot much, just 200,000 yuan,â Qi Shenbai said, knowing that this was within Xu Jiaojiaoâs acceptable range.
200,000 yuan? The painting worth two million yuan was said to be 200,000 yuan. Pei Yan was very worried about the future of the Qi Group!
âOh!â Xu Jiaojiao smiled. âThen I think the shop owner sold it for too little. This painting looks like itâs worth more than 200,000 yuan!â
âNot everyone is as discerning as you.â Qi Shenbai was not stingy with his praises.
âLooks like Iâve picked up a treasure.â Xu Jiaojiao was even happier now.
Qi Shenbai leaned over her shoulder, feeling satisfied and happy. Spending two million bucks on her smile was worth it!
After getting off the plane, Cang Xing waited for the two of them. Seeing them walk out hand in hand, Cang Xing was relieved.
As expected, the Madam missed Mr. Qi so much that she cried. He had to remind Mr. Qi next time that he could not go on a business trip for more than three days. If he did, the Madam would cry.
The two of them got into the car together. They were still holding hands. It was so sweet that Cang Xing, who was single, was envious.
âOh no!â Xu Jiaojiao suddenly said as she slapped her forehead.
âWhatâs wrong?â Qi Shenbaiâs heart ached as he held her other hand. He would not allow her to hit herself like this.
âI told someone that I wanted to give them a painting, but I forgot all about it.â At this moment, Xu Jiaojiao remembered her promise with Huo Siming.
âItâs alright. Just call them,â Qi Shenbai said as he reached for his phone.
âI donât have their contact informationâ¦â Xu Jiaojiao was helpless.
Qi Shenbai cocked his eyebrow. How did that happen?
âItâs fine. Iâll go with you to explain to that person.â Qi Shenbai thought that it was because of him that this happened, so he should go with her.
âThereâs no need. Iâll go by myself!â Xu Jiaojiao felt that since she had broken her promise, it would be better for her to explain herself. Then, she looked at Qi Shenbai strangely and thought, âItâs all your fault!â
âItâs my fault, itâs my fault.â Qi Shenbai apologized repeatedly. He had to go along with his little bunny. After his first taste of her, he knew how sweet she was. Of course, he had to coax her. Otherwise, what if she did not let him take her again next time?
âItâs not your faultâ¦â When Xu Jiaojiao saw that Qi Shenbai was really apologizing, she was not angry with him anymore. In the end, it was all because of her stupid dream that led to this outcome. She could not blame him.
Moreover, he was apologizing so sincerely. She should not take his affection so lightly.
Better safe than sorry!
âThen letâs go home first. You can go meet up with them after we settle down.â Xu Jiaojiao had no objections to Qi Shenbaiâs suggestion.
Back at Qingshui Villaâ¦
When Xu Jiaojiao returned, she greeted the butler before returning to her room to take a shower. At the same time, she changed her clothes and prepared to draw.
Just as she reached the door of the room, Qi Shenbai pulled her back. âYouâre going the wrong way.â
âNo, Iâm not! My room is here.â Xu Jiaojiao pointed at her room.
Qi Shenbai looked at her meaningfully until she remembered something..
âDonât do that! The butler and the others will knowâ¦â
