“Are you feeling hot?” Qi Shenbai ignored the two of them as they greeted each other. Instead, he wiped the sweat off Xu Jiaojiao’s temples.
“A little…” It was the peak of summer, and it was indeed hot outside. Xu Jiaojiao had taken the bus over, instead of asking Cang Xing to pick her up.
“Would you like a drink?” Qi Shenbai asked with concern.
“Sure!” Xu Jiaojiao could not say no to the Qi Group’s beverages. Their company’s beverages were specially made, so they tasted like nothing else outside.
Qi Shenbai gave Pei Yan a look. Pei Yan understood and went out to get Xu Jiaojiao a drink.
Qi Shenbai held her hand and walked over to the desk with her. As they walked over, Xu Jiaojiao’s attention was suddenly attracted by an exquisite food box on the desk.
Leng Bing followed her gaze. “Oh, Shenbai went to the hospital to visit me and even took care of Xiaojie a few days ago. I’m sorry I troubled him, and cooking was all I could do to thank him!”
“Oh, I see!” Xu Jiaojiao replied. The lunch box was so exquisite!
“I didn’t know you were coming. If I’d known, I would have made more.” Leng Bing spoke as if she was the mistress of the house. However, Xu Jiaojiao did not pay any heed to her tone. Instead, she said, “Since you have lunch already, I’ll just go and eat with my brother.”
She had just taken a step forward when a large hand grabbed her back. How could she leave just like that?
“What?” Xu Jiaojiao did not understand. Since he already had lunch, what was wrong with her having lunch with her brother instead?
Xu Jiaojiao looked at him with a puzzled expression, while he looked at her resentfully.
Xu Jiaojiao felt like she was about to break out in a cold sweat. Lil Bai did not look too happy!
Why not? She just could not figure it out.
Qi Shenbai really wanted to pry open her little head and see what was inside.
Looking at the two of them snuggling on the sofa, there was a hint of loneliness in Leng Bing’s eyes.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door. “Whoa, what a crowd!”
It was Xu Zhengyang.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at her big brother, who was as bright and handsome as the sun. He had his arms crossed in front of his chest, hiding his work badge.
“Brother, are you off from work now?” Xu Jiaojiao called out in a small voice.
“Yeah! Why should I let the capitalist rob me of my lunch break?” Xu Zhengyang said as he sat down on the sofa. When he saw the lunch box on the table, he suddenly perked up. “Is that food? Nice, I’m hungry.”
With that, he opened the lunch box and gulped down the food inside.
“Um, wait…” Leng Bing wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Young Master Xu was already scarfing down the food happily.
Leng Bing’s face turned red, perhaps out of anger.
However, she still managed to calm herself down and did not flare up at Xu Zhengyang. Instead, it was Zhou Xiaojie who saw it and tried to stop him. “What are you doing? My mother made this for my father. Why are you eating it?”
“Your father?” Xu Zhengyang raised his eyebrows.
“His godfather!” Xu Jiaojiao explained, “He’s still too young to tell the difference.”
“Then just call him Godfather, not Father! Your dad is long dead and gone. Heck, maybe he’s even reincarnated into your future best mate,” Xu Zhengyang said as he ate.
“Shut up!”
“Brother…”
Leng Bing and Xu Jiaojiao spoke at the same time. Xu Jiaojiao always felt that Zhou Xiaojie was still a child. It was best not to say such harsh things to him, lest it left a scar on his heart.
Although Zhou Xiaojie was young, he could understand Xu Zhengyang’s words. He pounced on him angrily. “He’s my father, my father!” He even punched Xu Zhengyang.
“Xiaojie!” Leng Bing pulled her son back, but she still sided with him. “Mr. Xu, Xiaojie is still a child. You’ll hurt him by talking like that.”
Xu Zhengyang straightened out his shirt after Zhou Xiaojie messed it up. “I shouldn’t talk to children like that, but children are raised by their adults, aren’t they? He can’t even tell the difference between his godfather and father. Is it because of the adult in his life?”
After saying that, he threw the lunch box on the table and flopped onto the sofa, looking at Leng Bing with a sharp gaze.
Leng Bing did not dare to look into his eyes. It was as if he could see right through her.
Xu Zhengyang had experienced his fair share of the world, and he was one of the top dogs in upper society too. He had seen all kinds of women. Her thoughts could not escape his eyes. His sister was stupid, but he was not.
Was she really just here to deliver a meal? No, she was probably using this opportunity to get close to Qi Shenbai. Fortunately, Xu Jiaojiao dropped by today, and he followed her..
