Beautiful Wife from Heaven: Mr. Qi, Let’s Get Married-Chapter 38

Why are You Here?

Qi Shenbai’s thin lips parted slightly. “To bail you out.”

Xu Zhengyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Jiaojiao meaningfully. Then, he looked at the calm Qi Shenbai and said lazily, “Since when did Mr. Qi care so much about his subordinates?” Bailing him out? Did Qi Shenbai think that he had not heard their conversation?

Qi Shenbai frowned and glanced at Xu Zhengyang without saying anything.

Pei Yan explained from the side, “Manager Xu, you’re the manager of the Qi Group’s technology department. If you get into the news because of a fight, it will reflect badly on the group.”

Xu Zhengyang scoffed. “Oh? Is that so?”

Xu Jiaojiao vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, but she could not quite understand why. On the other hand, Su Luo quietly moved closer to Xu Jiaojiao and whispered excitedly, “Jiaojiao, your husband is so handsome! He’s really handsome!”

The corners of Xu Jiaojiao’s mouth twitched. “Watch it, he’s not my husband…”

Su Lu acted as if she did not hear her. Her eyes seemed to glow as she looked at Qi Shenbai.

“…” Forget it. In any case, Su Lu would not be able to hear anything she said now. She was infatuated!

Qi Shenbai did not like being ogled by a woman like this, but because Su Lu was Xu Jiaojiao’s friend, he suppressed his displeasure and asked, “Have you settled everything?” This question was directed at Xu Jiaojiao, who nodded.

“I’m off work. Shall we go home together?” Because Xu Zhengyang was also there, Qi Shenbai was not sure if Xu Jiaojiao would follow him back to Qingshui Villa. Xu Jiaojiao did not answer immediately. Instead, she glanced at Su Luo and Xu Zhengyang.

Su Luo came back to her senses and said, “Jiaojiao, you haven’t eaten your cake or taken your gift. Are you going back with your husband now?”

Xu Jiaojiao blushed. “I told you he’s not…”

Before he could finish his explanation, Qi Shenbai’s gaze suddenly darkened. “Is today your birthday?”

Before Xu Jiaojiao could answer, Su Luo quickly said, “That’s right. Today is Jiaojiao’s 20th birthday. I specially reserved a private room for her to celebrate. Unfortunately, it was ruined by that scumbag Lu Zhuo.”

Qi Shenbai’s deep eyes shifted away from Xu Jiaojiao as he instructed Pei Yan and the rest, “You guys go back first.”

Pei Yan and the lawyers turned around and left the police station.

Qi Shenbai lowered his head. When he looked at Xu Jiaojiao again, his gaze softened. “In that case, let’s go back to the bar to celebrate your birthday first. After that, we’ll go home together.”

The few of them returned to the bar. The messy private room had already been cleaned up, and the waiter brought them upstairs. The door of the private room was pushed open, and just as Xu Jiaojiao was about to enter, a bang suddenly sounded in the dark private room, followed by a chorus of “Happy Birthday!”

Xu Jiaojiao was startled and fell into Qi Shenbai’s arms as she stepped back. Qi Shenbai’s slender fingers rested on her shoulders, and his dark eyes swept across the men and women in the private room. He frowned slightly and comforted her in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid.”

Xu Jiaojiao composed herself and looked at Su Luo. “???”

Su Luo looked embarrassed. She touched the tip of her nose and revealed an innocent smile. “These are all my friends. They’re here to celebrate your birthday.”

Xu Jiaojiao finally understood why Su Luo had booked such a big private room. It turned out that she had called her friends over.

“Thank you.” Xu Jiaojiao looked at the men and women in front of her. They were all from Luo City’s rich second-generation circle. A few of them looked familiar and knew Xu Zhengyang. However, their gazes were all focused on Qi Shenbai, especially the girls. Their eyes were glued to Qi Shenbai, and their faces were red.

Xu Jiaojiao thought of something and stood between Qi Shenbai and the others. She smiled and said, “Thank you, everyone, for coming to celebrate my birthday. Please take a seat.”

Xu Zhengyang was thirsty, so he went in first to pick up his wine glass and drain it in one gulp while Su Luo greeted her friends. Xu Jiaojiao turned around and looked at Qi Shenbai, her clear eyes filled with worry. “Are you alright? If you’re not feeling well, you can go back first.”

Qi Shenbai glanced at the chaotic crowd in the private room and his Adam’s apple bobbed. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Xu Jiaojiao’s concern made him feel that it was not unbearable. He said indifferently, “It’s okay.”

Xu Jiaojiao heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright, then remember to tell me if you’re feeling unwell. Also, I’ll compensate your friend for the things that my brother broke during the fight.”

“No need.” Qi Shenbai raised his hand and reached for the top of Xu Jiaojiao’s head.
