Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Thank you for leaving me at the altar.” Xu Jiaojiao’s tone was neither fast nor slow, and there was no anger in her voice… But her eyes were cold. “Breaking up with you was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.” She could not even figure out why she had fallen in love with such a person in the past, and why she treated such a despicable and shameless person as the light of her life. She had been all but ready to serve him for the rest of her life.
He did not deserve her love at all!!!
After Xu Jiao jiao said that, she turned around and got into the car without looking at Lu Zhuo again.
“Jiaojiao… Wait…” Lu Zhuo paled. Ignoring his injured waist, he quickly chased after her.
However, Xu Jiaojiao acted as if she did not hear him and asked Cang Xing to start the car. Lu Zhuo’s hand was about to touch the car door when Cang Xing stepped on the accelerator. The car shot away like an arrow. No matter how hard Lu Zhuo tried to stop them, it was useless.
Xu Jiaojiao sat in the back seat, her eyes slightly dark. She had been in a good mood today, but Lu Zhuo was like an annoying piece of gum stuck to her shoe. She was not upset because Lu Zhuo threatened to send her brother to prison, but because she had been blind enough to almost marry him!
Half an hour later, Cang Xing stopped the car at the school gate and watched as Xu Jiao jiao got out of the car dejectedly. After hesitating for a while, he decided to speak up. “Madam…”
“Hmm?” Xu Jiaojiao stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. “What is it?”
Cang Xing said respectfully, “Mr. Xu is the master’s best friend. You can ask the master to deal with that man for you. I’m sure he will help you.” Cang Xing was tempted to say, ‘Chin up, and go ask your husband for help!’
Xu Jiaojiao looked at him and smiled. “I understand, thank you.” Cang Xing wanted to say something more, but Xu Jiaojiao looked at her watch. There were only a few minutes left before class. “Talk to you later. I’m gonna be late.”
Cang Xing looked at her petite silhouette as she hurried off, frowning slightly. After thinking it over for a long while, he decided to tell his boss about everything, after all.
The Lu family had no right to threaten their one and only missus!
That night, Qi Shenbai did not see Xu Jiaojiao when he returned home. He asked the butler casually, “Where’s Xu Jiaojiao?”
“I don’t know why, but the madam has been moody ever since she came back from school today. She’s been in the studio for two hours now.” The butler placed the slippers in front of Qi Shenbai and answered truthfully.
Qi Shenbai nodded. He strode upstairs and knocked on the door of the studio.
“Come in—”
Qi Shenbai opened the door and saw Xu Jiaojiao sitting in front of the easel. She was holding a brush in her right hand and a color palette in her left. She turned around and smiled at him. “Done with work for today?”
She did not draw the curtains, so the evening light shone on her face through the window, making her seem even more peaceful and gentle. Qi Shenbai’s heart skipped a beat and then began to beat rapidly like a drum.
“Yes,” he replied softly.
Xu Jiaojiao thought that he was here to ask her for something. Just as she was about to ask, she had a flash of inspiration. “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you!”
“…” Qi Shenbai shook his head. “I’m not hungry.”
Xu Jiaojiao was confused now. “Do you need me for something else, then?”
“It’s nothing in particular. 1 just came to see you.” Qi Shenbai answered. After a while, he continued, “Is there… anything you want me to do?”
“Me? No, I’m fine.” Xu Jiaojiao shook her head. She felt that Qi Shenbai was a little strange today, but she could not exactly explain why.
Qi Shenbai did not say anything else. He opened the door and left the studio. What Xu Jiaojiao did not see was the frown on his face after he turned around. Ever since Cang Xing told him about Lu Zhuo threatening Xu Jiaojiao in the afternoon, he had been waiting for her to contact him.
In the end, he waited for the entire afternoon, but he did not receive a call from her even after work. He figured that she was too embarrassed to ask him because she was afraid of troubling him, so he specially asked his secretary to postpone his dinner appointment and rushed back. He had even taken the initiative to ask her, so all she had to do was ask…
In the end, the girl kept completely quiet about what had happened in the afternoon. It made him feel like he was being a busybody.
Qi Shenbai returned to the bedroom, loosened his tie with one hand, and suddenly chuckled.
The next morning, Xu Jiaojiao woke up early to make up for oversleeping yesterday. She ran to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Qi Shenbai and Xu Zhengyang.
Xu Zhengyang only came back after midnight last night. After he came back, he fell asleep on the bed in the guest room until eight in the morning. Upon waking up, he headed downstairs, stretching as he went. When he saw the luxurious breakfast on the dining room table and found his precious sister busy in the kitchen with an apron on, he immediately became furious. “Xu Jiaojiao, hold it right there!”
He glared at Qi Shenbai with his beautiful eyes.. “My sister is not your maid!”
