Chapter 17: Old Men Can’t Do It

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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.”

“Thank you…” Xu Jiaojiao’s voice trembled.

Qi Shenbai glanced at the phone in Xu Jiaojiao’s hand and then looked at her. His thin lips curved into a faint smile. “You’re welcome. Old people do like to do charity, after all.”

Xu Jiaojiao’s world shook around her. He heard it! He heard it! He heard everything!

After Qi Shenbai finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room. At this moment, Su Luo’s puzzled voice came from Xu Jiaojiao’s phone. “Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao, are you still there? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Xu Jiaojiao was still in a daze when Qi Shenbai, who was walking to the door, suddenly stopped and turned around. His pitch-black eyes were like the moonlight, unreadable and unfathomable. “Whether a man is capable or not has nothing to do with his age.” He seemed to be saying that the two of them were too ignorant.

Xu Jiaojiao fell silent. “…”

This time, Qi Shenbai really did go out. He even considerately closed the door for Xu Jiaojiao.

“Jiaojiao? Who were you talking to?” Su Luo asked again.

Xu Jiaojiao came back to her senses. Her lips trembled a few times before she said, “Luoluo, I want to emigrate. I don’t want to stay in the country anymore…”

Su Luo was confused. “Huh? Why do you suddenly want to emigrate? Where do you want to move to?”

“Anywhere is fine!” Xu Jiaojiao went crazy. As long as she did not stay on Earth, it was fine! She was going to die of embarrassment!

Thanks to Su Luo and Qi Shenbai, Xu Jiaojiao had insomnia again that night. It was not easy for her to fall asleep, but in the end, her dreams were filled with Qi Shenbai!

In her dream, the black Bentley was driving steadily on the road. The driver was Pei Yan. Qi Shenbai was sitting in the back seat in a black suit. He lowered his head and looked at the documents with a serious expression. Suddenly, a large truck appeared in the right lane and charged straight at the black Bentley.

With a bang, the black car rolled a few times, and even the door was knocked off. Qi Shenbai had put on his seatbelt. Although he was not thrown out of the car by the impact, he was probably seriously injured. Blood flowed from his forehead, and his eyes were closed as he fell unconscious.
