“He’s the CEO of the Qi Group, and the Qi family is one of the richest families. I’m just an ordinary girl. There are plenty of girls like me on the streets. If my brother wasn’t good friends with him, we may never have interacted in this lifetime.”

Back then, even her engagement with Lu Zhuo had been mocked. They said he was out of her league. Now, the distance between the Qi family and her family was worth a hundred Lu families. The difference between her and Qi Shenbai was like heaven and earth.

She liked Qi Shenbai, but would Qi Shenbai like her back?

What would he think if he found out about her feelings? Would he think that she was deliberately trying to get close to him so she could climb up the social ladder by using the Qi family?

Xu Jiaojiao was extremely frustrated. As far as she remembered, even back when she liked Lu Zhuo in the past, she had not been as overcautious as she was now!

Bang! Su Luo suddenly slammed her phone on the table, scaring Xu Jiaojiao. “Don’t think so much. I’ll take you out!”

“Huh?” Xu Jiaojiao was dumbfounded. This change of topic was too sudden.

Su Luo lowered her head to look at her and said in all seriousness, “There’s nothing that a good barbecue can’t solve. If there is, then we’ll have two barbecues!”

Xu Jiaojiao was so amused by her that she grinned.

“Let’s go. Don’t I still owe you a meal?” Su Luo tugged her arm and walked out of the classroom. “I booked a table at the barbecue restaurant you like. You can eat as much as you want today! Just treat it as a celebration. You don’t have to hold back!”

“A celebration? For what?” Xu Jiaojiao grabbed her bag, her eyes filled with confusion.

“To celebrate you getting rid of that scumbag and regaining true love! To celebrate your aesthetic standards finally evolving from that scumbag Lu Zhuo to a domineering CEO! Anyway, all of it is worth celebrating!”

Xu Jiaojiao was speechless. ‘You’re just looking for an excuse to go for a barbecue, aren’t you?’

Ever since they returned from Ireland, Xu Jiaojiao and Qi Shenbai had hardly met. From the moment Xu Jiaojiao discovered her feelings for Qi Shenbai, she did not know how to face him. Every time he spoke to her in a magnetic voice, she would always think of that dream at an inappropriate time.

All else aside, Qi Shenbai was quite a few years older than Xu Jiaojiao. How could he not tell that she had been hiding from him? She kept finding excuses to not make breakfast, leaving early in the morning and returning late at night every day. Oftentimes, he could not even catch a glimpse of her.

He did not know what he had done wrong to make her unhappy. In addition, there had been too many things to do in the company these few days, so he could only put this matter aside for the time being.

He told himself not to be too anxious, or he would scare the little girl off.

At one point, the weather started to turn cold. When Xu Jiaojiao woke up one morning, she felt a stuffy feeling in her nose. She turned her head and saw that the window was not closed. The red maple leaves outside were fluttering in the wind.

Time really passed quickly. It was almost winter now.

Xu Jiaojiao could not help but sneeze. She quickly put on her shoes and got out of bed to close the window.

When she went downstairs to eat, Qi Shenbai had already gone to the office. Xu Jiaojiao sat down and took a tissue to wipe her nose. The butler noticed that she did not look too good. She seemed lethargic and even had a snotty nose. The butler asked with concern, “Madam, are you feeling unwell?”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded. “I forgot to close the window yesterday. Maybe I caught a cold.”

“In this season, there’s a huge temperature difference between day and night. It’s easy to catch a cold. You must remember to close the window before you go to bed.” The butler was worried. “Why don’t we call the doctor over to take a look at you?”

Qi Shenbai had his own family doctor, so it was not troublesome to call him over.

Xu Jiaojiao waved her hand. “It’s nothing serious. I still have to go to school later. If I feel uncomfortable, I’ll go to the school doctor’s office to take a look.” Xu Jiaojiao did not listen to a single word of the class that day. She was dizzy and her nose was stuffy. It was not easy for her to persist until the end of class, but the door of the school doctor’s office was still locked. Her classmates said that the school doctor had applied for a week’s leave. Oh, well. She should just go home and drink more hot water.

Xu Jiaojiao walked to the door and was about to call Cang Xing when she saw a familiar face walking towards her.

Lu Zhuo stood less than a meter away from her. His gaze fell on her haggard face, and he asked with concern, “Are you sick?”

“No.” Xu Jiaojiao rubbed her nose. “Are you here to look for me?” He would not be here because of her brother, right?

Lu Zhuo did not believe that she could not see the concern in his eyes, and he did not expect her to be so ungrateful. He did not say anything else and went straight to the point. “My grandmother is sick. Take some time to visit her.”

Xu Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked at him. She felt that there was something wrong with his brain. “You can just give me a call for that. There’s no need for you to come here personally.”

Lu Zhuo sneered.. “Xu Jiaojiao, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?”
