Chapter 39 (1/2)

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?”
