“How can we not be a family? We clearly are.” Zhou Xiaojie started crying, big fat tears flowing down his face.

Qi Shenbai wanted to say something, but Xu Jiaojiao stopped him. “He’s still young. He won’t understand even if you tell him all that.”

“Hmph!” Qi Shenbai snorted coldly. He understood too much!

“Don’t cry anymore. You won’t look good if you keep crying.” Xu Jiaojiao did not have much experience with children, so she could only coax him and wipe his tears.

Seeing that Xu Jiaojiao’s heart had softened, Zhou Xiaojie immediately threw himself into her embrace. Xu Jiaojiao was afraid that he would hurt himself, so she hurriedly hugged him.

However, he was still crying. What was worse was that his snot and tears were all over Xu Jiaojiao’s body. However, Xu Jiaojiao did not care and just let him be.

Seeing that Xu Jiaojiao did not object, he ruthlessly wiped his snot and tears on Xu Jiaojiao’s dress.

The car stopped at the entrance of Qingshui Villa. Zhou Xiaojie was already asleep in Xu Jiaojiao’s arms. When they got out of the car, Qi Shenbai carried him down.

Qi Shenbai was not particularly gentle. Zhou Xiaojie groaned a few times but did not wake up.

“Be gentle with him! Don’t wake him up.” Xu Jiaojiao did not want his snot and tears to get on her clothes again.

“I’m already being gentle.” Qi Shenbai was a little angry when he thought about how Zhou Xiaojie had wiped his snot and tears on Xu Jiaojiao’s dress. “If we have children in the future, I can’t let you take care of them.” She would only spoil them rotten.

“Who said I was going to give birth to your children?” Xu Jiaojiao pouted, but she felt sweet inside.

“I never said I wanted to have children with you,” Qi Shenbai teased her on purpose. “Or do you really want to have a child with me that badly?”

“No!” Xu Jiaojiao retorted, her face blushing. “You can have a child with whoever you want. Either way, I won’t do it. I still have an exam tomorrow, so I’ll take a shower first.”

After entering the villa, Xu Jiaojiao ran upstairs. She took a change of pajamas and went into the bathroom.

Lying in the bathtub and thinking about how her beautiful dress had been stained with snot and tears, Xu Jiaojiao was actually a little resistant to the idea of having kids.

“Why should I have kids? I’m still a child myself!” Xu Jiaojiao mumbled.

Qi Shenbai handed Zhou Xiaojie over to the butler. The butler would arrange everything for him before he went upstairs.

After a while, Xu Jiaojiao walked out of the bathroom. She was wearing loose pajamas, and her hair was wet. Water dripped onto her pajamas, and her eyes were hazy. Her fair face was slightly red from the heat.

Her exquisite facial features seemed to have become clearer. Qi Shenbai could not hide the desire on his face as he slowly approached Xu Jiaojiao and kissed her gently on the lips.

Xu Jiaojiao knew what he meant. After being intimate with him for the past few days, she also knew what to do next. “I still have an exam tomorrow, so I have to go to bed early today,” Xu Jiaojiao refused.

“Just let me hug you.” Qi Shenbai hugged Xu Jiaojiao tightly. Xu Jiaojiao did not move and let him hug her.

“You seem to be busy all the time. You don’t spend much time with me.” Qi Shenbai, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, rested his head on Xu Jiaojiao’s neck. He seemed very upset.

At this moment, Xu Jiaojiao’s heart softened and she hugged his waist. “I’ll have a break after my exams. By then, I’ll have a lot of time to spend with you. You might even find me annoying!”

“No, I like it when you cling to me.” Why would Qi Shenbai be annoyed? He could not ask for more.

She always seemed to be so busy. She was still a student, but she did not seem to have that much time.

She kept drawing for others, drawing for herself, looking at paintings… Her life seemed to revolve around paintings.

When she was not admiring paintings, she would watch television dramas and cartoons that he had never seen before. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In his opinion, cartoons were meant for children, but Xu Jiaojiao always emphasized, “Animation and cartoons are two different things.”

In his eyes, though, it was no different.

In the morning, Xu Jiaojiao left first because of her exams. Then, Qi Shenbai also went to the office.

Zhou Xiaojie was left alone with the butler and servants.

Qi Shenbai did not tell the butler who he was, but the butler knew that as long as Qi Shenbai brought him back, the boy should be considered their master. They had to treat him well.

Zhou Xiaojie did not feel uncomfortable when he arrived at Qingshui Villa. Instead, he treated it as if it was his own home. After breakfast, he walked around as if he was scouting the place.

After looking around outside, he began to tour the inside of the villa. When he reached the door of a room, he was about to push the door open and enter when he was stopped by the butler. “You can’t enter this room.”

This was Xu Jiaojiao’s studio, and outsiders were never allowed in. Even the cleaning was done by Xu Jiaojiao herself. It could be said that this was Xu Jiaojiao’s private space.

“Oh, I see.” Zhou Xiaojie agreed and retracted his hand. After the butler left, he stretched his hand out again, turned the doorknob, and sneaked in.
