Chapter 38 (1/2)

Why are You Here?

Qi Shenbai’s thin lips parted slightly. “To bail you out.”

Xu Zhengyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Jiaojiao meaningfully. Then, he looked at the calm Qi Shenbai and said lazily, “Since when did Mr. Qi care so much about his subordinates?” Bailing him out? Did Qi Shenbai think that he had not heard their conversation?

Qi Shenbai frowned and glanced at Xu Zhengyang without saying anything.

Pei Yan explained from the side, “Manager Xu, you’re the manager of the Qi Group’s technology department. If you get into the news because of a fight, it will reflect badly on the group.”

Xu Zhengyang scoffed. “Oh? Is that so?”

Xu Jiaojiao vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, but she could not quite understand why. On the other hand, Su Luo quietly moved closer to Xu Jiaojiao and whispered excitedly, “Jiaojiao, your husband is so handsome! He’s really handsome!”

The corners of Xu Jiaojiao’s mouth twitched. “Watch it, he’s not my husband…”

Su Lu acted as if she did not hear her. Her eyes seemed to glow as she looked at Qi Shenbai.

“…” Forget it. In any case, Su Lu would not be able to hear anything she said now. She was infatuated!

Qi Shenbai did not like being ogled by a woman like this, but because Su Lu was Xu Jiaojiao’s friend, he suppressed his displeasure and asked, “Have you settled everything?” This question was directed at Xu Jiaojiao, who nodded.

“I’m off work. Shall we go home together?” Because Xu Zhengyang was also there, Qi Shenbai was not sure if Xu Jiaojiao would follow him back to Qingshui Villa. Xu Jiaojiao did not answer immediately. Instead, she glanced at Su Luo and Xu Zhengyang.

Su Luo came back to her senses and said, “Jiaojiao, you haven’t eaten your cake or taken your gift. Are you going back with your husband now?”

Xu Jiaojiao blushed. “I told you he’s not…”

Before he could finish his explanation, Qi Shenbai’s gaze suddenly darkened. “Is today your birthday?”
