I Want to Eat Your Noodles

Xu Jiaojiao blinked. She never intended to accept the gift, but she was so shocked by Qi Shenbai’s appearance that she forgot to return it to Lu Zhuo.

Qi Shenbai brought Xu Jiaojiao into the car, and the black Bentley quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight. Lu Zhuo had grown up spoiled, so he had never been humiliated like this before. He was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth to shreds! Under everyone’s complicated gazes, he kicked away the box by his feet, and the diamond necklace inside flew far away. Then, he turned around and got into his sports car.

Just then, Su Luo, who was standing outside the crowd, was dumbfounded. She even forgot to swallow the milk tea in her mouth!

“Ahhhh!” Su Luo spun in circles, spinning. When did Jiaojiao get to know a man like that?! Why didn’t she tell her?! No, Jiaojiao had to make it up to her by treating her to one — No, two meals of barbeque!

…

After Xu Jiaojiao got into the car, Qi Shenbai let go of her hand and placed her drawing board on the footrest. Xu Jiaojiao reached out to hold it up, her curly eyelashes trembling. After hesitating for a while, she could not help but ask, “Mr. Qi, did you specially come to pick me up from school?” She remembered that Qi Shenbai had asked her when school would end this morning. Could it be that he had already planned to come and pick her up from school then?

Qi Shenbai leaned back in his chair and turned his head to meet Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes. He then retracted his gaze and replied curtly, “It’s on the way.”

When the driver heard this, he could not help but look at the rearview mirror. Why did he hear from Pei Yan that Mr. Qi had rejected all his other social gatherings tonight…?

“Oh.” Xu Jiaojiao did not suspect anything. After all, Qi Shen was very busy during the day, so how would he have the time to pick her up? Moreover, she was only his friend’s younger sister, not his biological sister. There was no need for him to go to this extent.

“But no matter what, I have to thank you.” Whether it was picking her up from school or helping her get rid of Lu Zhuo, she still owed him a word of thanks.

Qi Shenbai replied, “No need.”

Xu Jiaojiao stopped talking and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window. Her curly eyelashes drooped, and she looked like a lost kitten who needed comforting.

Qi Shenbai was resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked at the back of Xu Jiaojiao’s round head.

After returning to Qingshui Villa, Xu Jiaojiao was about to return to her room when Qi Shenbai’s voice rang out from behind her. “Xu Jiaojiao.”

“Huh?” Xu Jiaojiao, who had been daydreaming, came back to her senses and looked at Qi Shenbai in a daze. She was very fair, and her child-like face was smooth. Her big bright eyes were slightly bleary because she was in a daze, and just the sight of her was enough to soften any heart.

Qi Shenbai felt something stir in his heart, but it only took a moment for him to regain his usual composure. He handed the jacket he had taken off to the butler, and his gaze swept past Xu Jiaojiao’s reddened eyes as he said lightly, “I want to eat the noodles you make tonight.”

Xu Jiaojiao was not the only one who was stunned. Even the butler was stunned. His master actually wanted to eat Miss Xu’s noodles?

Xu Jiaojiao blinked her eyes. When she regained her senses, she looked at the butler. “Do you still have chicken soup?”

“Yes,” the butler hurriedly replied.

“Can I go up and put the things down first before coming down to cook the noodles?” Xu Jiaojiao asked Qi Shenbai.

Qi Shenbai nodded. Xu Jiaojiao turned around and went upstairs. As she walked, she felt that it was too slow, so she started jogging.

Meanwhile, the butler carefully asked Qi Shenbai, “Is there anything about the new chef that you’re not satisfied with, sir?”

Qi Shenbai replied, “No.”

The butler opened his mouth to continue asking why he suddenly wanted Miss Xu to make noodles. Unfortunately, Qi Shenbai did not give him a chance and strode upstairs.

Half an hour later, Xu Jiaojiao and Qi Shenbai sat neatly in the dining room. In front of them was a bowl of clear soup noodles with a very tender fried egg on top.

After the meal, the butler cleaned up the dishes and asked the servants to wash them. Xu Jiaojiao was about to go upstairs after drinking some water, but Qi Shenbai sat on the chair without moving. His dark eyes were still staring at her, so Xu Jiaojiao had no choice but to sit down with him. As she drank the water, she wondered if her cooking had gone awry tonight. Did the noodles she made not satisfy Qi Shenbai? That could not be. She had eaten too. It was quite delicious.

Qi Shenbai did not know what Xu Jiaojiao was thinking. After looking at her for a while, he slowly said, “If that person pesters you again in the future, just tell me.”

Xu Jiaojiao’s drooping eyes looked up with a whoosh. There was a flash of doubt in her eyes. “You want me to… tell you?”
