Su Luo nodded solemnly and suddenly remembered something. âBy the way, does Qi Shenbai also have a younger sister?â
Xu Jiaojiao nodded. âYes.â
Ills sister was the very reason she managed to marry him.
Su Luoâs face was filled with worry. âGirls raised in rich families tend to be spoiled and mean. If Qi Shenbaiâs sister is like that tooâ¦â
The frail figure appeared in Xu Jiaojiaoâs mind. She shook her head and said, âI donât think she is.â
Qi Shenbai was not an arrogant and rude person, so his sister would not be like that either.
âI hope youâre right.â Su Luo patted her shoulder. âBut then again, Qi Shenbai seems high and mighty at first, yet it turns out heâs quite well-mannered. His sister is most likely like him. She probably wonât make things difficult for you! Besides, youâre so cute. I reckon that his sister will fall in love with you the moment she sees you!â
âStop flattering me.â Xu Jiaojiao smiled dotingly, but Su Luoâs 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 oâclock.
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. âMadam, youâre back.â
Xu Jiaojiao nodded slightly. âWhereâs Qi Shenbai? Is he not at home?â
âMr. Qi isnât back yet.â The butler handed her slippers and muttered softly, âItâs almost eleven oâclock. If he doesnât come back soon, he wonât be back in time to eat longevity noodles.â
Xu Jiaojiao paused and turned around to ask, âLongevity noodles? What Longevity noodles?â
The butler was slightly stunned. âDonât you know? Today is Mr. Qiâs birthday. Although he doesnât have the habit of celebrating his birthday, I prepare a bowl of longevity noodles for him every year. Itâs a good signâ¦â
Xu Jiaojiao was no longer listening. Her mind kept repeating the words, âToday is Mr. Qiâs birthdayâ¦â
It was Qi Shenbaiâs 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 oâclock at night, and the malls had long closed. It was too late to buy him a gift now. What should she doâ¦?
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, âUmâ¦â
âWhat are your orders?â The butler immediately stopped and turned around to ask respectfully.
âYou guys should go to bed early today.â
The butler looked troubled. âBut Mr. Qi hasnât eaten his longevity noodles yetâ¦â
âItâs alright, 1â11 cook noodles for him. Just go to sleep.â Xu Jiaojiaoâs tone was firm. âNo 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. Donât worry.â
âThen 1â11 have to trouble you with that, Madam.â The butlerâs 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 itâ¦
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..
