Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Zhiming and Tian Fanghua also thought it was a coincidence, so they did not ask much. However, Qi Shenbai’s dark eyes glanced at her meaningfully. How many secrets did the girl hide? It seemed that even the Xu family did not know.

After taking care of the Lu family without much effort, Xu Zhengyang was too embarrassed to ask for the rest of the day off, so he had to return to the company with Qi Shenbai obediently. Cang Xing was tasked with sending Xu Jiaojiao back to school.

By the time Xu Jiaojiao rushed to the classroom door, there was still time before class started. Once she entered the classroom, though, she noticed the strange gazes of the students around her. She felt a little confused, but she still walked to the back of the classroom and sat down as everyone watched. Before she could ask the person beside her, Su Luo waved at her from the door and said in a low voice, “Jiaojiao, come here for a bit…”

There were still ten minutes before class, so Xu Jiao jiao got up and walked out of the room. Su Luo grabbed her hand and quickly walked to the end of the corridor.

“Luoluo, what’s the hurry?” Why was everyone acting strange today, including Luoluo?

Su Luo looked around and confirmed that they were alone before asking in a whisper, “Why are you still in school at a time like this?”

“A time like what? 1 don’t quite understand what you mean.” Xu Jiaojiao was dumbfounded. She had no idea what Su Luo was talking about.

Su Luo took out her phone and handed it to her. “You still don’t know? You’re trending on Weibo!”

Xu Jiaojiao frowned and looked at the phone. The photo on the screen was dimly lit, but she could read the title clearly. “Exclusive report! Qi Shenbai meets a beautiful woman late at night. Are they dating?!” In the photo, Qi Shenbai was wearing a bespoke suit. His big palm gently held the back of her head as he hugged her tightly in his arms.

They looked close and comfortable, like a pair of lovers who had been in love for a long time! The photo was very blurry. Qi Shenbai had his head lowered and his facial features could not be seen clearly. Only half of Xu Jiaojiao’s face was visible. Outsiders might not be able to tell, but the students who interacted with Xu Jiao jiao every day could recognize the woman in the photo at a glance.

The paparazzi only recognized Qi Shenbai because of his car.

The students of Luo University usually liked to surf the Internet and browse the school forum, so of course they would see this news report. In just a few hours, it had spread throughout the entire department. When some of the netizens failed to recognize the man in the photo, some enthusiastic commenters introduced Qi Shenbai’s identity in detail. They talked all about Mr. Qi’s status in Luo City, speculating about the young fairy who caught his eye!

None of the students at Luo University had revealed Xu Jiaojiao’s identity on the Internet yet. Still, the netizens were very curious about the woman who had a late-night tryst with Qi Shenbai. They even zoomed in and took a screenshot of Xu Jiaojiao’s face. Some people said that she looked too young. Could she be underage?

At first, everyone was just gossiping. However, when someone raised the question of whether the girl in the photo was underage, Weibo launched into a frenzy. Everyone began to accuse Qi Shenbai of immorality. Some lawyers even claimed that Qi Shenbai would be committing a crime if the girl in the photo really was underage.

Xu Jiaojiao read those malicious speculations. Some of them even accused Qi Shenbai of abducting and sexually abusing a child. Her eyebrows unconsciously furrowed. She was a little angry.

Su Luo raised her eyebrows at her meaningfully. “You two are really making progress in your relationship!”

“Curb your imagination.” Xu Jiaojiao returned the phone to her and explained seriously, “That day, I wasn’t watching my steps, and 1 almost fell. That was why he reached out to help me.”

“So he was just catching you, huh…” Su Luo dragged her words out, obviously not believing her explanation.

Xu Jiaojiao’s mind was filled with the baseless accusations against Qi Shenbai on the Internet. She did not care about Su Luo’s teasing. The Weibo post weighed on her mind the entire day. She wanted to contact Qi Shenbai several times but gave up in the end.

She was afraid that it would affect his work and make him even more upset.

When she returned to the villa at night, Qi Shenbai was not at home. After Xu Jiaojiao returned to her room and turned on her phone, she saw that the post was now in the top 25 trending topics and still rising.

She felt more and more anxious, but Qi Shenbai did not return no matter how long she waited.

It was late at night now, and Qingshui Villa was enveloped by the hazy moonlight. It was like an ancient castle in a fairy tale, mysterious and gorgeous.

Xu Jiaojiao sat in the studio, but she was not in the mood to draw. As soon as she heard the sound of a car stopping downstairs, she put down the paintbrush in her hand and quickly walked out of the studio. She jogged downstairs.

As she ran to the stairs, she saw Qi Shenbai walking up. Their eyes met, and for a moment, neither of them said anything. It had only been less than a day since they parted, but Xu Jiaojiao felt as if it had been a century. Her long chest was filled with emotion..
