“What are you doing?” Qi Shenbai pretended to be angry.

“Just for a little while, please?” Xu Jiaojiao pleaded as she held up her phone.

“Fine.”

After that, Qi Shenbai turned around and walked out of the room. Xu Jiaojiao started playing with her phone openly.

She scrolled through her phone, but she could not find the photo she had taken with Qi Shenbai during the day…

Qi Shenbai seemed to be very busy with work and did not come back for a long time. In the end, she fell asleep in a daze, her nose filled with his unique scent.

When he returned, it was already past midnight. Xu Jiaojiao was sleeping soundly.

Under the white shirt, her slender and fair leg was pressed against the blanket, making his imagination run wild.

He carefully lifted a corner of the blanket and lay down. However, the little girl seemed to have sensed her presence and climbed onto him, pressing a leg onto his body.

When he caught a hint of her fair skin under her collar, his heart beat faster and his body heated up.

He turned around and took a deep breath.

Sigh! He had better take a cold shower!

However, she was like a charming snake that wrapped around him and burrowed her head into his arms.

‘Breathe… Take deep breaths…’

Qi Shenbai felt that his self-restraint had reached its limit, but he could not bear to leave.

He would rather test his self-control than let her sleep with Qi Yunduo.

On the next day, Xu Jiao jiao woke up very early. Qi Shenbai’s eyes were still closed, so Xu Jiaojiao carefully studied his features.

Ahh, how beautiful!

He was so beautiful!

He was unbelievably beautiful!

How could he be so good-looking?!

The heavens were biased when they created him.

Xu Jiaojiao had tried to draw a portrait of Qi Shenbai, but no matter how hard she tried, the painting was not as elegant and outstanding as he was in reality.

She gently outlined his outline with her fingertips, from his forehead to his lips.

Xu Jiaojiao could not help but blush when she thought about how deeply he kissed her every time. His lips were thin but always so passionate! Suddenly, someone grabbed her fingertips just as they stopped on his lips.

“If you want to kiss me, just do it.”

When did he wake up? There did not seem to be any sleepiness in his eyes.

“Who said I wanted to kiss you?” Xu Jiaojiao lowered her eyes, not daring to look into his deep black gaze. She wanted to kiss him just now, but she was afraid of waking him up, so she did not move.

“Are you lying again?” Qi Shenbai said as he kissed her cherry-like mouth. Since he had not brushed his teeth yet in the morning, he did not go too deep and only tasted her lightly.

However, Xu Jiaojiao responded passionately, making Qi Shenbai’s imagination run wild. He pressed his body against hers and looked at her with a fiery gaze.

She did not know why he was like this.

In the end, Qi Shenbai forced himself to hold back. He stood up and said, “Go back to your room and change!”

After everything was over, Xu Jiaojiao carefully returned to her room. She grabbed her pajamas and ran to the bathroom to change into them. Looking at Qi Shenbai’s white shirt, she held it in her arms and lowered her head to smell it.

This was his unique scent.

Xu Jiaojiao had used his shower gel yesterday, and that smelled completely different. This unique was only on his shirt. After smelling it, Xu Jiaojiao could not help but blush.

“Jiaojiao, what are you doing?”

Xu Jiaojiao was interrupted by a sudden voice. She turned around and saw Qi Yunduo looking at her. She hastily hid Qi Shenbai’s white shirt behind her back. ‘Oh no! She doesn’t think I’m crazy, does she?’

“Don’t hide it. I saw it all. That’s my brother’s shirt.” Qi Yunduo tried not to laugh. “Did you guys…?”

“Nothing happened between us yesterday, really!” Xu Jiaojiao hurriedly explained.

“Why are you so nervous? You’re husband and wife. Isn’t it natural for you to do that sort of thing?” Qi Yunduo asked, confused.

Oh, right! What Qi Yunduo said made sense, but Xu Jiaojiao still wanted to explain herself. It was really contradictory!

Qi Yunduo was a tactful person. Seeing that Xu Jiaojiao’s face was red, she did not ask further. “I don’t care if anything happened between the two of you last night, but I know that you love each other.”

“You noticed?” Xu Jiaojiao thought that she had hidden it very well.

Qi Yunduo smiled and said, “Of course. From your behavior at the award ceremony yesterday, 1 can tell that you two love each other deeply. Do you know? There are two things in the world that can’t be hidden. One is a cough, and the other is a look of love.”

“I guess you’re right…” Xu Jiaojiao had to admit it.

“Jiaojiao, you may think that my brother is high and mighty, but he’s quite pitiful. He’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so many people don’t dare to approach him. All these years, he’s never found a decent girl. He’s endured a lot. Both in his career and family, he bears a lot of responsibility.” Qi Yunduo’s heart ached for her brother..
