“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Qi Shenbai was the first to break the silence. His voice held a hint of fatigue.

Xu Jiaojiao thought of the endless abuse on the Internet, and her eyes began to prick with tears. “I got you in trouble. I’m sorry…”

Qi Shenbai reached out and tugged at his tie. His thin lips parted slightly. “You saw it.”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded, feeling bad. “Did I cause you a lot of trouble?”

“It’s not as serious as you think.” Qi Shenbai reached out and patted her head. He chuckled for some reason. “Go to bed early. Don’t stay up late.” With that, he walked upstairs.

Xu Jiaojiao turned around and looked at his back. She felt that even his back looked exhausted today. Was it because of the slander and abuse online?

Qi Shenbai walked into the bedroom and was about to close the door when he saw her standing at the door. He smiled helplessly. “I’m fine. You don’t have to be so careful.”

“Have you had dinner? Do you want me to make you some supper?” Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips and probed.

“I’ve eaten. I’m not hungry yet.”

“Then do you want to drink juice? I think they bought some nice oranges today…” The little girl’s face was filled with uneasiness and guilt. She felt that she had dragged him into this mess.

“I don’t need juice either.” After Qi Shenbai finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the bedroom. He tore off his tie and threw it on the sofa before walking to the bathroom.

The tie slipped from the sofa onto the carpet. Xu Jiaojiao walked over and picked it up. Looking at his back, she could not help but say, “Qi Shenbai, is there anything 1 can do for you?”

Qi Shenbai, who was unbuttoning his shirt, paused. The collar of his shirt had already been unbuttoned, revealing his sexy Adam’s apple and his charming collarbone…

His hand paused halfway through unbuttoning his shirt. The collar of his shirt was undone, revealing his sexy Adam’s apple, snow-white skin, and protruding collarbone…

Xu Jiaojiao did not notice the complicated emotions that flashed across his eyes when he looked at her.

“It’s no big deal. It might affect the company’s stock price, but it won’t be that serious. It will be fine after a few days. You don’t have to worry.”

“But they’re calling you…” A perverted pedophile.

She swallowed the words that were already on the tip of her tongue. Xu Jiaojiao did not understand. He was clearly a very nice person. Most of the people on the Internet had not even seen him once, but they had already painted him as a pedophile. They were even planning to report the Qi Group for tax fraud.

Qi Shenbai stared at her, his eyes darkening.” It doesn’t matter what they say.”

“Why don’t I step forward and explain?” Xu Jiao jiao thought for a moment and decided to tell him the idea she had come up with after thinking the entire night. “I can show them my ID photo to prove that I’m not underage.”

“They won’t believe you.”

Xu Jiaojiao’s shoulders drooped, and her eyes turned slightly red. Endless guilt and regret filled her entire body. She felt even more guilty when she thought about how she was the reason behind the slander.

Qi Shenbai looked at her unhappy little face. After a few seconds of silence, he said, “If you want to help me, there is a way…”

“What is it?” Xu Jiaojiao interrupted him in a hurry. Her silent eyes lit up instantly. “No matter what it is, I’ll do it!” After all, this matter started because of her, so she had to be the one to fix things.

Something flashed in Qi Shenbai’s eyes, but he still shook his head. “No, it’s fine. Let’s just wait for the storm to pass.”

Xu Jiaojiao walked up to him and looked up at him, insisting, “No, the more they talk, the more harm it will do to you. Just tell me what the solution is. I want to help you.”

Qi Shenbai looked at her seriously and straightforwardly. “If we register our marriage and ask the legal department to post the photo of the marriage certificate online, no one will say anything anymore.”

“Alright, let’s do that.” Xu Jiaojiao did not hesitate at all.

Was that really it? She thought it would be much harder than that. Registering their marriage was nothing.

Qi Shenbai was slightly stunned, and he gulped unconsciously. He looked at her with a meaningful gaze.

Xu Jiaojiao, who had been frowning, finally smiled for the first time tonight. “That’s a good idea. Just post the marriage certificate online and show everyone. If anyone talks nonsense again, the legal department will sue them until they go bankrupt!”

Qi Shenbai came back to his senses and hesitated for a long time before asking, “Will you really marry me?”

Xu Jiaojiao was nonchalant. “Of course, as long as I can shut those haters up.”

Qi Shenbai narrowed his eyes and avoided her clear gaze. For a moment, he did not know whether to be happy or worried.

“Tomorrow, we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register our marriage. I’ll ask my brother to bring the household register..”
