Qi Shenbai patiently explained to her, “Only members of the Qi family can’t enter.”

Xu Jiaojiao’s thin eyelashes fluttered a few times as she pursed her lips. In the end, she did not ask anything.

When they walked in, the butler was already waiting at the door to pass them slippers. He even reached out to take their coats.

Xu Jiaojiao changed her shoes and said goodbye to Qi Shenbai. “I’m going back to my room to rest. You should sleep early too.”

Qi Shenbai stared at her back without blinking. Although the gown was very long, it revealed a small part of the back of her neck. Her skin was delicate like cream, making his throat move unconsciously.

Although Xu Jiaojiao did not say anything just now, he knew very well that she still wanted to know.

She wanted to know about the Qi family and about himself. He just had not thought of a way to be honest with her yet.

Xu Jiaojiao took a shower and sat on the sofa. As she wiped her wet hair, she looked at the gown hanging on the hanger.

She thought back to the conversation between Qi Shenbai and his sister outside the car window. She could not hear what they said, but she did see the subtle change in Qi Shenbai’s face.

His gaze was dark and complicated as if shrouded in an undercurrent of sadness.

Was he unhappy about something?

Xu Jiaojiao was immersed in her own thoughts and stopped drying her hair. She did not even notice the knock on the door.

Qi Shenbai pushed open the door and saw the little girl sitting on the sofa with wet hair. She looked like she had been possessed.

“I’m coming in now,” he said softly, afraid he’d startle her.

Xu Jiaojiao came back to her senses and looked up at him with a smile on her face. “You haven’t slept yet?”

Qi Shenbai walked in and handed her the hot milk in his hand. “What are you thinking about? You didn’t even hear the knock on the door.”

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head and hid the thoughts in her eyes. “It’s nothing. 1 just spaced out for a bit.

Every time she lied, her eyes would wander around, not daring to meet his gaze.
