“Daddy, Daddy, you’re the best!” Zhou Xiaojie jumped up and down excitedly.

“Hurry up and go eat!” Xu Jiaojiao saw that Zhou Xiaojie was happy and that Qi Shenbai had punished him, so she let him eat.

After Zhou Xiaojie left, Qi Shenbai could not help but shake his head. “You’re really too nice.”

Zhou Xiaojie had dirtied her studio, but she was not angry. She even asked him to accompany another woman.

“He’s still young, and he lost his dad. He likes you, so he’s attached to you. If you can help him fulfill his wish, you should try your best!” Xu Jiaojiao said softly as she held Qi Shenbai’s arm.

Qi Shenbai thought for a moment. “Is it because you think he resembles you when you were young?”

How did he know? Could he hear her thoughts?

“A little! I’ve lived with my grandmother since I was young. When I was young, I never felt fatherly or motherly love. I really yearned for that kind of love!

“When I was a kid, my neighbors thought that I was a monster. They even said that I was my father’s illegitimate daughter. That’s why my family let me live in the countryside. Fortunately, I had my grandmother. Zhou Xiaojie also has you and his mother.”

Recalling her childhood, Xu Jiaojiao still felt a little sad.

“But we’re not related by blood. In the end, I can’t replace his father.” Of course, he did not want to, either.

“I know. He’s still young and needs a father, so he’s pushing all his expectations on you. It’ll be fine when he’s older,” Xu Jiaojiao explained to Qi Shenbai.

Qi Shenbai could only agree. Xu Jiaojiao usually looked soft and cute, like a sweet and naive girl, but there were times when she was smart. Sometimes, when she talked about morals and principles, no one could refute her.

“Prepare well for the exam. I’m waiting for you to cling to me like glue!” Qi Shenbai pinched her chin.

“Alright, alright!” He only ever thought about those things every day…

The next day, Xu Jiaojiao’s exams went smoothly. When she returned home, she only saw Qi Shenbai and not Zhou Xiaojie. According to Qi Shenbai, Leng Bing’s leg had recovered a little, so she took Zhou Xiaojie home.

Then, it was the third day of the exam. That also went smoothly. The moment Xu Jiaojiao walked out of the classroom after the exam, she immediately felt relaxed. Just like that, a semester passed. Time passed really quickly!

She had only taken a few steps when she heard someone call her, “Jiaojiao!” She turned around and saw Qi Yunduo.

“Yunduo, are you done with your exams too?” Xu Jiaojiao asked.

“Yeah! How did you do?” Qi Yunduo asked.

“I did alright!” Xu Jiaojiao replied humbly.

“Then… Did you help me ask about my brother Zhao Yunxiao?” Qi Yunxiao had jogged over because of this matter. She had been thinking about it for a few days.

Only then did Xu Jiaojiao react. “Oh my god, I totally forgot. I’ve been too busy these past few days.” As she spoke, she patted her head.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t forget on purpose. I really wanted to help you, but unfortunately, I really had something on these few days.” Xu Jiaojiao hurriedly apologized. She did not forget on purpose. It was just that Zhou Xiaojie had been naughty at home and messed up her studio. Coupled with Leng Bing’s illness and the fact that she still had to prepare for the exam, Zhao Yunxiao’s matter had been thrown to the back of her mind.

“Is it because of Leng Bing?” Qi Yunduo already knew that she had returned and guessed that she had gotten in the way.

“You know her too?” Xu Jiaojiao was puzzled.

“That’s right! Zhou Jie is my brother’s good friend. After he passed away, my brother has been helping him take care of his orphan and widow. However, Leng Bing is too much. She used to pester Zhou Jie, and now she’s pestering my brother.” From Qi Yunduo’s attitude, she did not seem to like Leng Bing.

“Even if my brother was there on the day Zhou Jie died, still…” Qi Yunduo seemed to know that she had said too much, so she stopped talking.

“You’re saying that Lil Bai was there when Zhou Jie died?” Xu Jiaojiao asked suspiciously, feeling that there was a secret she did not know.

“Yes… but you mustn’t mention it in front of my big brother! If he finds out that I was the one who mentioned it, he definitely won’t let me off.” Qi Yunduo hurriedly pleaded, afraid that Qi Shenbai would find out that she was talking nonsense to Xu Jiaojiap behind his back.

“Alright, I won’t tell him,” Xu Jiaojiao agreed with certainty.

When Qi Yunduo heard this, the worry on her face turned into a smile. She held onto Xu Jiaojiao’s arm and said, “Jiaojiao, don’t forget to tell my brother about Zhao Yunxiao!”

Zhao Yunxiao had already graduated, but he did not receive any offers from the company. Every time she had a meal with Zhao Yunxiao, he would pretend to be happy even though he was in a bad mood.

Qi Yunduo’s heart ached when she saw him like that, so she had to come over and beg Xu Jiaojiao. She wanted Xu Jiaojiao to beg her brother to give Zhao Yunxiao a chance..
