Chapter 109: Probably Not

Su Luo nodded solemnly and suddenly remembered something. “By the way, does Qi Shenbai also have a younger sister?”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded. “Yes.”

Ills sister was the very reason she managed to marry him.

Su Luo’s face was filled with worry. “Girls raised in rich families tend to be spoiled and mean. If Qi Shenbai’s sister is like that too…”

The frail figure appeared in Xu Jiaojiao’s mind. She shook her head and said, “I don’t think she is.”

Qi Shenbai was not an arrogant and rude person, so his sister would not be like that either.

“I hope you’re right.” Su Luo patted her shoulder. “But then again, Qi Shenbai seems high and mighty at first, yet it turns out he’s quite well-mannered. His sister is most likely like him. She probably won’t make things difficult for you! Besides, you’re so cute. I reckon that his sister will fall in love with you the moment she sees you!”

“Stop flattering me.” Xu Jiaojiao smiled dotingly, but Su Luo’s words were also a wake-up call for her.

She knew too little about Qi Shenbai. Other than the fact that he had a sister, she knew next to nothing else. He had never mentioned his family in front of her.

What about his parents…? She had no idea.

The two girls became gradually more excited as they chatted. They even forgot about the time. If Cang Xing had not called to remind her, Xu Jiaojiao would not have realized that it was already past ten o’clock.

The two of them parted ways and Xu Jiaojiao returned to Qingshui Villa.

The butler was already waiting at the door. As soon as he saw her, he welcomed her home. “Madam, you’re back.”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded slightly. “Where’s Qi Shenbai? Is he not at home?”

“Mr. Qi isn’t back yet.” The butler handed her slippers and muttered softly, “It’s almost eleven o’clock. If he doesn’t come back soon, he won’t be back in time to eat longevity noodles.”

Xu Jiaojiao paused and turned around to ask, “Longevity noodles? What Longevity noodles?”

The butler was slightly stunned. “Don’t you know? Today is Mr. Qi’s birthday. Although he doesn’t have the habit of celebrating his birthday, I prepare a bowl of longevity noodles for him every year. It’s a good sign…”

Xu Jiaojiao was no longer listening. Her mind kept repeating the words, “Today is Mr. Qi’s birthday…”

It was Qi Shenbai’s birthday today, but she did not even know about it. Moreover, when the two of them left the house that morning, he had not said anything. It was as if he had forgotten what day it was.

It was already eleven o’clock at night, and the malls had long closed. It was too late to buy him a gift now. What should she do…?

Regardless of whether Qi Shenbai cared about his birthday or not, she had to do something!

Xu Jiaojiao hesitated for a while before she finally said, “Um…”

“What are your orders?” The butler immediately stopped and turned around to ask respectfully.

“You guys should go to bed early today.”

The butler looked troubled. “But Mr. Qi hasn’t eaten his longevity noodles yet…”

“It’s alright, 1’11 cook noodles for him. Just go to sleep.” Xu Jiaojiao’s tone was firm. “No matter what time he comes back, I promise to make him eat a bowl of longevity noodles even in the wee hours of the morning. Don’t worry.”

“Then 1’11 have to trouble you with that, Madam.” The butler’s smile was obvious. His master would definitely like the longevity noodles that the Madam cooked herself.

Xu Jiaojiao returned to her room and opened the cabinet. She found an exquisite box in the bottom drawer, and the hesitation in her eyes slowly turned to firm resolve.

On her birthday, Qi Shenbai had given her a perfect studio. Now that it was his birthday, she should give him a meaningful gift in return.

Although this gift was a little embarrassing, he might just like it…

After making up her mind, Xu Jiao jiao immediately changed her clothes.

She had a lot of things to do later. She would decorate the living room and cook longevity noodles.

She had to give Qi Shenbai an unforgettable birthday today!

It was late at night, and the pitch-black sky was like a canvas splashed with ink, dotted with twinkling stars. The lamps by the street were warm and gentle, showing the way home no matter how late it was.

The black Rolls-Royce was mysterious and low-key in the dark night. It slowly stopped at the entrance of Qingshui Villa.

Qi Shenbai pushed open the door and got out of the car. When he saw that the villa was pitch-black and there was no light, he subconsciously frowned.

Usually, no matter how late he returned home, the butler would leave the lights on. Why was it pitch-black tonight?

Puzzled, Qi Shenbai walked to the porch and entered the password to open the door. He pulled the door open and changed his shoes at the entrance. When he looked up, he saw the lit Christmas tree in the corner.

He recognized it. It was the tree that he had set up for Jiaojiao that Christmas..
