Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What?” Xu Jiaojiao looked up at him.
“You’re too cute,” Qi Shenbai could not help but praise her.
“They said cute means ugly but adorable!” Xu Jiaojiao’s clear eyes looked into his deep eyes.
“Who said that? Cuteness is the pinnacle of praise. Beauty will pass, but cuteness won’t.” Qi Shenbai emphasized.
Xu Jiaojiao was in a good mood after being showered in praise. She nibbled on another piece of lamb chop.
Looking at the faint bags under Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes, Qi Shenbai knew that she had not slept well. After dinner, he ordered room service to clear everything away and told her to go to sleep.
Xu Jiaojiao went to the bathroom to take a shower and put on the shirt he had prepared for her. Her bra from yesterday was already dirty and she could not wear it anymore, so she went braless. Although her chest was covered by the shirt, she still felt insecure.
She jogged across the room and hid under the blanket, covering her face and revealing only her big watery eyes.
Qi Shenbai always stayed in a presidential suite. When Xu Jiaojiao was showering, he went to another room to shower. When he returned, he was already dressed in his pajamas and standing in front of Xu Jiaojiao.
When Xu Jiaojiao saw him, she asked nervously, “Aren’t you going to sleep in another room?”
“Don’t you want to hear about Zhou Xiaojie?” Qi Shenbai deliberately aroused her curiosity.
Speaking of this, Xu Jiaojiao became energetic and no longer felt sleepy. She directly patted the big bed and motioned for Qi Shenbai to come over.
Qi Shenbai obediently walked over to the bed and sat down. Xu Jiaojiao very understandingly covered him with a blanket. “Go on!”
“Sigh…” Qi Shenbai sighed softly, not knowing where to start.
After a long time, Xu Jiaojiao could not help but poke his chest with her small hand. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Qi Shenbai grabbed her delicate hand and placed it on his chest to stop her from moving. His Adam’s apple bobbed as desire rose in his heart. “Hmm… Zhou Xiaojie’s father is Zhou Jie. He died in a car accident before the boy was born. However, the Zhou family never agreed to Zhou Jie’s relationship with Leng Bing, and they refuse to acknowledge Zhou Xiaojie either.
“I grew up with Zhou Jie. We even went overseas together. After he passed away, I couldn’t leave his child alone. At that time, Leng Bing wasn’t doing good, so I lent her a hand. Later, when the child was born, she made me his godfather to express their gratitude.”
Someone like Qi Shenbai definitely did not need Leng Bing’s gratitude. However, she was very persistent, so he relented. When the child first learned to speak, he asked Zhou Xiaojie to call him Godfather, but he kept insisting on calling him Daddy.
Leng Bing had corrected him many times, but to no avail. Qi Shenbai did not argue with the child and let him do as he pleased. He thought that the boy would naturally change his mind once he got older.
However, he did not expect it to cause today’s misunderstanding.
“I’m sorry, Lil Bai.” Xu Jiaojiao felt a little guilty.
“Why are you apologizing?” Qi Shenbai was still holding her soft little hand.
“You’re so kind, but I misunderstood you. I really shouldn’t have done that.” Xu Jiaojiao knew that she had made a mistake today, but she did not know why she could not keep calm at all.
Kind? She actually described him like that?
If these words came out of someone else’s mouth, he would definitely think they were being sarcastic or insincere. However, for some reason, when Xu Jiaojiao said it, he felt very encouraged.
If she liked to think of him as a kind person, he would be a kind person from now on.
“Either way, the misunderstanding is resolved now!” Qi Shenbai did not want Xu Jiaojiao to blame herself.
“But I was so impulsive and even scolded you… I wasn’t that kind of person to begin with…” Xu Jiaojiao was frustrated.
“You were impulsive because you love me! If you didn’t care about me, you wouldn’t be so upset. I don’t blame you.” Qi Shenbai could barely even bear to see her frown! Why would he ever blame her?
“Actually, you’ve already handled it very well. After you found out about this, you didn’t choose to call me and break up with me over the phone. Instead, you came to find me face-to-face. That’s rare enough.
“I wasn’t as mature as you at your age! I definitely wouldn’t be able to handle things as well as you did.”
If Qi Shenbai was still in his twenties when he met Xu Jiaojiao as she was now, he might have fallen for her. However, he would definitely have used his rationality to suppress his feelings and not marry her.
However, Qi Shenbai had been lonely and cold for far too long by now. Once he met the sunny and adorable Xu Jiaojiao, his love was like a flood, pouring out unstoppably.
Did she hear wrongly? Lil Bai seemed to be praising her.
But why? She was a fussy, crying mess right now.
Xu Jiaojiao could not help but blush. She felt that Qi Shenbai did not need to praise her like this. “Lil Bai, you’re so nice. You even praised me instead of blaming me..”
