It was working hours on a weekday, so Xu Jiaojiao did not expect Qi Shenbai to reply to her immediately. However, Qi Shenbai’s response came in an instant.

...

Qi Shenbai: [You don’t have to pay me.]

How could Xu Jiaojiao accept such an expensive gift for no reason? She lowered her head and continued typing.

Before she could finish her sentence, she received another message. [Consider it a birthday gift.]

A birthday gift!!! Xu Jiaojiao’s heart lit up with fireworks and began to beat wildly. It would rude to insist on paying after that, so Xu Jiaojiao replied, [Thank you for the present, 1 really like it-]

On the other end, Qi Shenbai did not reply, but he did not leave the app either. His eyes focused on the tilde at the end of the sentence. He could already imagine her sweet voice articulating that tone, and the corners of his lips subconsciously curled up.

The spacious top-floor meeting room was filled with the upper echelons of the Qi Group. Previously, everyone in the company had been calling Qi Shenbai “Steelface” behind his back because almost no one had seen him smile in the company, let alone look at his phone during a meeting.

Today, however, the world was turning upside down! Mr. Qi was actually looking at his phone and even smiling at it like a lovestruck idiot! Had he actually foind The One?!

Xu Zhengyang was sitting on Qi Shenbai’s right, and he took in the unprecedented look of tenderness on Qi Shenbai’s face. Xu Zhengyang could not help but frown. His super accurate sixth sense told him that the scumbag Qi Shenbai was definitely aiming for his treasure!!!

That jerk was seducing his sister right before his very eyes. ‘Hah… Qi Shenbai, you’re a monster!’

Xu Jiaojiao had no classes in the morning, so she asked Cang Xing to take her to the hospital so she could visit her grandmother. Xu Zhiming had managed their family’s company well in recent years, and he had made friends with many dignitaries in the upper-class circle. After Old Madam Xu fell ill, he immediately contacted the most famous team of doctors in Luo City.

When he found out that Old Madam Xu’s days were numbered, he respected her wishes and chose not to make her undergo surgery. Instead, he arranged the best VIP ward in the hospital for her. He even searched the entire city for four experienced caregivers to take care of her 24/7.

Xu Jiaojiao knocked on the door of the ward, carrying the fruits she had bought on the way. She then poked her head in and said in a light-hearted voice, “Grandma, guess who’s here to see you?”

Old Madam Xu stood in front of the window in a dark green cheongsam. She had just taken the medicine that the nurse had prepared for her. When she heard the voice, she hurriedly turned around and waved at Xu Jiaojiao affectionately. “Who else could it be? Of course it’s my precious granddaughter. Come in quickly.”

Xu Jiaojiao walked in and helped her grandmother sit on the sofa. She pouted and whined, “1 missed you so much. Did you not miss me at all?”

“Nonsense, of course 1 missed you.” Mrs. Xu lowered her head and coughed twice. Then, she reached out and stroked Xu Jiaojiao’s smooth long hair. “Who else would 1 miss if not you? It’s just the hospital is a dirty place with lots of patients and bacteria. You shouldn’t come by so often.”

“No, I’ll keep coming here as often as 1 want.” Xu Jiaojiao held her grandmother’s hand and said sweetly, “You have a familiar scent, Grandma. Just being around you makes me feel at ease.”

That cheered Old Madam Xu up completely. “You’re such a sweet talker. 1 smell like an old hag, that’s all!”

“It’s not the smell of an old hag! It’s something much nicer than that. You can smell yourself if you don’t believe me.”

“It was your birthday yesterday. Did you have any longevity noodles?” Mrs. Xu caressed Xu Jiaojiao’s delicate hand, her eyes filled with love.

“Of course 1 did!” Xu Jiaojiao raised her head and smiled innocently. “1 went home for lunch with my parents, then I went out to celebrate with my friends. 1 even received a lot of gifts!”

Mrs. Xu nodded and asked casually, “Did Lil Qi celebrate your birthday with you?”

“Yes, he did. He even arranged for someone to decorate a studio for me and gave me a lot of expensive and exotic paints…” Xu Jiaojiao answered excitedly. From the corner of her eye, she saw the teasing glint in Old Madam Qi’s gaze, so she said shyly, “Grandma…”

“As long as the two of you are doing well, I can rest assured.” Old Madam Xu gripped her hand tightly.

Xu Jiaojiao smiled and said seriously, “Grandma, he’s really good to me. I’m very happy every day now.” Although their marriage was fake, Qi Shenbai was really good to her.

Old Madam Xu was relieved and nodded in satisfaction.

After chatting with the old lady for a while, Xu Jiaojiao stayed at the hospital to have lunch with her grandmother before reluctantly leaving. Just before she left, the old lady stuffed a small bag of walnuts into her bag and told her not to come again. If she missed her, she could contact her via video call..
