Chapter 17 (1/2)

Old Men Can’t Do It

Xu Jiaojiao did not have Su Luo’s confidence. She shook her head and said, “I’m already very grateful that Mr. Qi allowed me to stay in his house and played along with me in front of Grandma. If I get any greedier, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.”

“Don’t say that.” Su Luo did not like Xu Jiaojiao belittling herself like this. In her heart, her friend was the best!

After a pause, Su Luo asked, “It’s Qi Shenbai we’re talking about, you know. His looks are head and shoulders above every other man in the world. Are you sure you can hold yourself back after living with him every day? Are you sure you won’t fall for him?”

Xu Jiaojiao was too lazy to even hold her phone anymore. She turned on the loudspeaker and placed it on the coffee table. Her voice was sweet and firm as she said, “Luoluo, Mr. Qi is seven years older than me. How could I fall in love with a man so much older than me?!” After saying that, she could not help but mutter, “I don’t have an Electra complex.”

“What?” Su Luo did not hear the last sentence clearly.

Xu Jiaojiao yelled, “I said, don’t even think about reneging on the hotpot you owe me!”

“Alright, alright. I’ll treat you to two meals!” Su Luo agreed haphazardly, then she changed the topic. “But you’re right. Qi Shenbai is quite handsome, but he’s too old. I heard that men’s ability in that area starts to decline after they turn thirty, while women are like hungry tigers at thirty. The two of you really don’t match…”

Girls would often talk about interesting topics when they chatted. Moreover, Su Luo had read novels about domineering CEOs all year round, so she valued men’s abilities in bed even more. After all, the men in novels often made love for seven days and nights.

Xu Jiaojiao laughed so hard she had to punch the pillow, but she still reminded her, “Luoluo, let’s not talk about others behind their backs like this. Moreover, even if I’m thirty years old, I won’t be like a hungry wolf in bed.”

“Oh my, are you really sure?” Su Luo teased her.

“Luoluo!” Xu Jiaojiao pretended to be angry. As her body swayed, her phone accidentally hit the ground. She bent down to pick it up. When she straightened her back, she accidentally saw the door from the corner of her eye and was instantly dumbfounded.

Qi Shenbai stood at the door with a fruit platter in his hand. There was no emotion on his handsome face. Then, he strode towards Xu Jiaojiao with his long legs.

Xu Jiaojiao gripped her phone tightly as her heart pounded. She secretly prayed that Qi Shenbai had just arrived and had not heard anything!

Qi Shenbai placed the plate of fruits on the coffee table and glanced at Xu Jiaojiao’s pale face. He said indifferently, “You forgot to close the door. I happened to heading this way, so I brought you the fruits prepared by the butler.”
