Before the old man could finish his sentence, Qi Shenbai added, “I won’t come again in the future.”

With that, he opened the car door and got inside.

Xu Jiaojiao turned her head and saw the old man’s complicated and helpless expression. She then looked at Qi Shenbai, who had just gotten into the car. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

There was a lingering frown between his brows, and his cold features seemed to be filled with faint sadness.

Xu Jiaojiao took the initiative to hold his hand and laced her fingers with his.

They held each other tightly.

Qi Shenbai turned his head and met her clear eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up into a bright smile.

The gloom in his heart suddenly disappeared, and his thin lips slowly curled into a smile.

Perhaps he could finally let go.

Qi Shenbai sent Xu Jiaojiao back to the Xu family home. Xu Jiaojiao was afraid that her parents would find out that she had gone looking for him, so she refused to let him walk her into the house.

However, as soon as the car stopped, they saw Grandma Xu standing at the door.

Xu Jiaojiao was speechless.”…”

Wait, why was she feeling guilty anyway? Why was she acting like a kid caught on sneaking out on a playdate?

Qi Shenbai got out of the car first. With a calm expression, he bowed slightly and called out, “Grandma.”

Grandma Xu nodded and looked at the car window. She said in amusement and annoyance, “Why aren’t you getting out of the car? Are you waiting for me to open the door for you?”

Xu Jiaojiao, who was sitting in the car, heard her grandmother’s words and knew that she could not hide anymore. She pushed the door open and got out of the car with a smile on her face. “Grandma.”

Old Madam Xu glared at her. “Let’s go in first. It’s too cold outside.”

Xu Jiaojiao turned her head and glanced at Qi Shenbai. Qi Shenbai had already followed the old lady into the house.

Tian Fanghua, who was watching television in the living room, saw the three of them walk in from the corner of her eye. She stood up and walked over. She asked curiously, “Jiaojiao, didn’t you go to Luoluo’s house? Wait…”

Her gaze fell on Qi Shenbai and she paused, not knowing what to say.

Old Madam Xu thought they were a proper couple, so in her mind, it was only natural for them to be together. However, Tian Fanghua knew that they were faking their marriage. It was only a temporary measure.

Just as Qi Shenbai was about to reply, the old lady spoke first. “Why isn’t Zhiming back yet? Give him a call.”

“Okay.” Tian Fanghua went to get her phone and called her husband to come back.

Grandma Qi looked at Xu Jiaojiao again. “You look so disheveled. Go back to your room to change your clothes.”

Xu Jiaojiao looked down at herself. “Grandma, I don’t look that bad…”

Before she could finish speaking, she met her grandmother’s gaze. It seemed to be able to see through everything. Xu Jiaojiao immediately lowered her head. “I’ll go change now.”

Before she went upstairs, she could not help but glance at Qi Shenbai. Sigh, she could barely even protect herself in this situation. There was little she could do to help him.

After everyone left, Old Madam Xu looked at Qi Shenbai. “I’m a little tired from sitting so long. Help me back to my room, will you? I want to rest for a while.”

Qi Shenbai stepped forward and helped the old lady into her room.

Grandma Xu was old, so her family had moved her room to the first floor for her convenience. The decor inside had a neo-traditional style, and the air was filled with a faint scent of incense.

Qi Shenbai helped the old lady sit down on the bed and bent down to help her take off her shoes.

“I’m old, and I smell like my age. I’m surprised that you don’t mind helping me back to my room.” She reached out and pressed Qi Shenbai’s shoulder, rejecting his help.

Qi Shenbai did not insist. After standing up straight, he replied seriously, “Everyone will grow old one day. There’s no need to hold back around me.”

The words were not empty pleasantries. Although Old Madam Xu was old, her mind was still very clear. She hated superficial flattery most of all.

Old Madam Xu leaned against the head of the bed, a hint of satisfaction appearing in her sharp eyes. “You’re an honest child.”

Qi Shenbai lowered his eyes and did not reply.

“Jiaojiao ran out last night to look for you.” Although Xu Zhengyang kept saying that his sister had gone to visit the young lady from the Su family, his words could only fool Xu Zhiming and Tian Fanghua. He could not fool the old lady.

“I was in a bad mood yesterday. Jiaojiao was worried about me, so she ran out to see me. I promise there won’t be a next time.” Qi Shenbai did not deny it.

“I’m not blaming you.” Old Madam Xu smiled. “I was also your age once. I understand that true love is always passionate, emboldening, and uncontrollable.”

Qi Shenbai’s lips curled up slightly into a hint of a smile.

“You did well handling the Lu family.” Old Madam Xu suddenly changed the topic.

“They should never have done that to Jiaojiao.” He knew that the old lady had wanted to test him back then, but he did not know if the old lady was satisfied with the final result..
