My Wife
Xu Jiaojiao thought that he was going to rub her head, so she subconsciously avoided him. In the end, Qi Shenbai only took away the confetti on her hair and said without changing his expression, “Take it as my friend’s birthday gift to you.”
Xu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment before she realized that she had overreacted. Her cheeks were a little hot as she said, “No need, he doesn’t know me.”
“He’s been busy recently. When he has more time, I’ll introduce him to you.”
Xu Jiaojiao replied, “There’s no need for that, either!” She answered without hesitation. The first time she came to the bar, she had caused the owner to be taken away for questioning by the police. The second time she came, she had broken the things in the private room and attracted the police again. Even if the bar owner did not hold a grudge against her, she would be embarrassed.
Qi Shenbai could tell that Xu Jiaojiao was hiding her embarrassment, so he pursed his thin lips.
Xu Jiaojiao scratched her ear awkwardly. When she saw Xu Zhengyang drinking one glass after another, she walked over and said, “Brother, you’re injured. You can’t drink.”
Xu Zhengyang looked nonchalant. “You call this an injury? Oh right, today is your birthday. I haven’t wished you a happy birthday yet.” After saying that, he handed a glass of fruit juice to Xu Jiaojiao. “Happy birthday to our Jiaojiao. Many happy returns of the day.”
“Thank you, Big Brother.” A smile appeared on Xu Jiaojiao’s fair and tender face. She took the wine glass from Xu Zhengyang’s hand and replaced it with fruit juice. “But you’re injured. Don’t drink.”
Xu Zhengyang had no choice but to sigh. “Alright, it’s your birthday today. You’re the boss.” After drinking the juice, he took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Xu Jiaojiao. “Here, a birthday present.”
“Didn’t you send me a red packet?”
“You have to give out red packets and presents.” Xu Zhengyang rubbed Xu Jiaojiao’s head. “Whatever other people have, our Jiaojiao has to have it too. In fact, you gotta have twice the amount.”
“Thank you, Big Brother.” Xu Jiaojiao did not stand on ceremony with him. She opened the gift box and saw a pair of snowflake-shaped diamond earrings inside. They looked very nice.
Qi Shenbai watched from afar as Xu Zhengyang’s palm landed on top of Xu Jiaojiao’s head. His eyes quietly darkened.
Su Luo circled around Xu Zhengyang and Xu Jiaojiao. “Xu Zhengyang, you’ve done everything that Jiaojiao’s husband should do. What about her husband?”
Xu Jiaojiao glared at Su Luo. “Luoluo, don’t talk nonsense.”
“I don’t care what he does.” Xu Zhengyan glanced at Qi Shenbai, then took out a diamond earring and helped Xu Jiaojiao put it on. “My sister is so pretty!”
Xu Jiaojiao touched her ear stud and smiled. “Thank you, Big Brother.”
The atmosphere between the siblings was clearly harmonious, but most of the people around them were still focused on Qi Shenbai. They had also heard about Xu Jiaojiao’s wedding, but they did not expect the man Xu Jiaojiao had pulled over at the last minute to be so handsome! Moreover, was this man really not a celebrity? He was way too good-looking!
Qi Shenbai’s handsome features did not change in the face of everyone’s complicated and inquisitive expressions, allowing them to size him up. At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated. Qi Shenbai looked at the caller ID and said to Xu Jiaojiao, “I’m going to take a call.”
Xu Jiaojiao nodded and watched as Qi Shenbai walked out of the private room. She secretly pinched Su Luo’s arm and reminded her, “If you continue to spout nonsense, I won’t be friends with you anymore.”
Su Luo raised her hands in surrender. “Alright, alright. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Little birthday girl, come and take a look at your gifts.”
Although the people present weren’t familiar with Xu Jiaojiao, since Su Luo and Xu Zhengyang around, they had also brought gifts. The moment Qi Shenbai walked out of the private room, he saw Xu Jiaojiao surrounded by people. Her face was full of smiles, like the sun that would never set.
“Hello…” Qi Shenbai picked up the phone.
The man’s magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone. “Qi Shenbai, what’s your relationship with that young lady? As soon as you heard that she was taken away by the police, you rushed over. I heard from Pei Yan that you even interrupted the international conference.”
Qi Shenbai said, “She’s my wife, the person who will hold my hand for the rest of my life in the future.”
The person on the other end of the line fell silent. “…”
Qi Shenbai hung up the call and walked towards the private room. Before he could walk over, he saw Xu Jiaojiao coming out of the private room. When Xu Jiaojiao saw him, her eyes lit up. “You’re done with the call?”
Qi Shenbai nodded as his gaze fell on the box in Xu Jiaojiao’s hand. “What are you doing?”
“My parents called to drag my brother back home. I’m not familiar with the other people inside, so I want to go back first.” It was true that Xu Jiaojiao was not familiar with those people. Besides, they were into drinking and playing bar games. She did not know how to do any of that.
