Chapter 106: Terrified Of Causing Trouble For Others
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“She’s afraid of making you worry too.” Qi Shenbai’s tone was a little helpless and doting. “You’re her brother. Don’t you know that your sister is terrified of causing trouble for others?”
Xu Zhengyang, who was about to shoot out of the office, sat back down. He knew very well that even if he rushed over, Jiao jiao would definitely say that she was fine and chase him away.
She was afraid of becoming a burden to everyone and causing trouble for the people around her, because she was scared that she would be abandoned by her family again.
In the end, Jiaojiao’s excessive carefulness was all her parents’ fault, as well as his fault as her older brother.
“I’m still a little worried about leaving Jiaojiao in your care.” Xu Zhengyang’s tone was filled with distrust.
Qi Shenbai scoffed. “Even if 1 asked you to co over, can you take good care of Jiaojiao?”
Xu Zhengyang could only chuckle at that. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Qi. Take good care of my sister. In return, 1’11 take good care of the company for you. I guarantee that the company won’t close down while you’re gone.”
Seeing that Qi Shenbai did not respond, Xu Zhengyang’s fierce voice ca through the phone again. “I’m warning you, don’t you dare take advantage of the situation. If you lay a hand on my sister when she’s sick, 1’11…”
Halfway through his sentence, Qi Shenba ended the call rcilessly.
“F*ck!” Xu Zhengyang cursed. “Qi Shenbai, you dog…”
Qi Shenbai carried the steaming orange upstairs and knocked on Xu Jiaojiao’s door.
“Co in.”
As soon as Qi Shenbai entered, he saw Xu Jiaojiao standing in front of the window, looking out of the courtyard resentfully.
“What are you looking at?”
Xu Jiaojiao turned her head and saw that it was him. She pouted and said, “Tomorrow is Christmas…”
All this ti, she had either been lying in bed with a drip or taking dicine in her room, all because of her illness. The rest of her ti was spent sleeping, and she had forgotten that it was Christmas Eve.
She had nothing to do just now, so she logged into Weibo and saw many fans leaving comnts under her latest Weibo post. Only then did she know that tomorrow was Christmas.
“Do you like these foreign festivals very much?” Qi Shenbai waved at her to co over.
Xu Jiaojiao walked over to his side and sat down. “It’s not that 1 like these foreign holidays, it’s just that… the internet says that a snowy Christmas is very suitable for confessions. 1 originally planned to give you a gift tomorrow…”
Her plan had gone down the drain because of her illness.
Qi Shenbai handed Xu Jiaojiao a small bowl filled with stead oranges. He lifted the small lid on the oranges and showed her the red dates and white fungus that he had specially placed inside.
“There’s no hurry. Once you’re better, you can give a gift anyti. Or we can go out on a date and watch a movie together.”
Xu Jiaojiao nodded and picked up the spoon to eat. The stead orange was sweet and slightly sour. Once she ate a few slices, she felt much warr inside.
Qi Shenbai still noticed the flash of disappointnt in her eyes. Looking at the girl’s dim eyes, he did not say anything and just picked up his phone.
After Xu Jiao jiao finished eating, Qi Shenbai cleaned up the dishes and went out. Before he closed the door, he saw Xu Jiaojiao running to the window to look outside.
It was such a nice holiday. It would be a pity not to watch a movie with the person she liked, have a fancy al, walk down the streets, and do romantic things together!
Xu Jiaojiao stood in front of the window and sighed. She could only bla her body for not being able to live up to her expectations!
Twenty minutes later, there was another knock on the door.
“Co in.”
Xu Jiaojiao stood at the window and spoke without turning her head.
However, she did not hear anyone walking in. Confused, she subconsciously turned to look at the door.
The gentle knocking continued, but the person who knocked on the door still did not enter.
She walked to the door. The mont she opened it, she was stunned.
Qi Shenbai, who was usually dressed in a suit and leather shoes, was wearing a Santa suit and a red Christmas hat. He even had a matching white beard.
The friendly Santa costu sohow looked handso on his tall and lean body. Half of his face was covered by the beard, leaving only his fathomless eyes looking at her warmly.
“Qi… Qi Shenbai…” She covered her mouth in shock. She felt her heart begin to beat uncontrollably, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
“Since you’ve been a very good girl this year, Santa Claus is here to give you a present. Congratulations, my girl.”
After speaking in his deep magnetic voice, Qi Shenbai picked up the gift bag in his hand. Just as he was about to take out a present, Xu Jiaojiao returned to her senses and hugged him tight.
The side of her face was pressed against his warm chest. Listening to the steady and strong heartbeat in his chest, she felt like the luckiest kid in the world..
