“Don’t tell me that it’s all because of our son. How can our son order his boss around? You might as well say that he has a crush on our son, and he’s only treating Jiaojiao so nicely because he loves her brother!”

The corners of Xu Zhiming’s mouth twitched. He could not say anything to that.

Every time Qi Shenbai coaxed Xu Jiao jiao to sleep and tried to tuck her back in bed, she would whine and complain. He could not even move his hand from her back.

In the end, he had no choice but to take off his shoes and get into bed with her, leaning against Xu Jiaojiao. Finally, Xu Jiaojiao slept quietly in his arms and did not make any more noise.

When Qi Shenbai lowered his eyes, he could see her curly eyelashes, her slightly pursed pink lips, and the part of her chest that was tightly pressed against his. That soft sensation was quite alluring.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Shenbai brushed the tip of her nose with his fingertips. His deep voice was filled with doting affection.

“Happy New Year, my clingy koala…”

That night, Xu Jiaojiao slept soundly. She did not even dream. However, Qi Shenbai had a very hard time. He could not sleep the entire night, what with the way she kept rubbing against his body.

It was a sleepless night for him.

The next day, Xu Jiaojiao found herself waking up on her big bed. The blanket on her body was warm and soft.

She yawned as she sat up and scratched her head. A few fragmented memories suddenly flashed through her mind, and her deer-like eyes widened.

Uh-oh, she accidentally drank too much again last night.

This time, though, she had not forgotten what happened last night. For example, she remembered how Qi Shenbai had hugged her and gently coaxed her to sleep…

“Alih, how embarrassing…”

She slowly fell back onto the bed and rolled around…

At dawn, Xu Jiaojiao changed her clothes after washing up and went downstairs. She bumped into Tian Fanghua, who had just walked out of the kitchen.

Tian Fanghua was very concerned. As soon as they met, she patted her daughter’s head. “Are you feeling unwell? I asked Aunt Xia to make you some tea to relieve your hangover. You should feel better after drinking it.”

“Mom, there’s no need. 1 feel fine.” Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes darted around the living room as she asked, “Mom, do you know where Qi Shenbai went?” 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦

“Aunt Xia said that he left early in the morning in a hurry. It looks like he had something urgent to do,” Tian Fanghua replied.

“I see.” Xu Jiaojiao heaved a sigh of relief, but in the next moment, she felt a little disappointed.

What was so urgent that he had to leave in such a hurry? Couldn’t he have waited until she woke up to tell her Happy New Year before leaving?

Tian Fanghua held Xu Jiaojiao’s hand as they walked toward the living room. “You should drink less from now on. Don’t learn from Xu Zhengyang. No matter what, he’s still a man. No matter how much he drinks, he won’t be at a disadvantage. But you’re a young lady. If you drink too much, bad things might happen to you.”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded profusely, her expression obedient. “Mom, 1 promise 1 won’t drink any more alcohol in the future. 1 won’t drink a single drop.”

Every time she drank, she would wind up embarrassing herself. She did not want to embarrass herself a third time.

“It’s good that you know.” Tian Fanghua was not an old-fashioned and pedantic parent. She was never the type to hover over her children.

“Mom, I’m going to the washroom now.” Xu Jiaojiao found an excuse to leave.

“Alright, I’ll go and see your grandmother too.” Tian Fanghua stood up and went upstairs.

Xu Jiaojiao stayed in the bathroom downstairs, but she did not go to the toilet. Instead, she took out her phone and sent Qi Shenbai a WeChat message.

Jiao jiao: |Are you home now?]

She waited for five minutes after sending the message, but there was still no reply.

Xu Jiaojiao sat on the toilet bowl and stared intently at the WeChat interface. She was deep in thought. ’Could he be asleep? Or is he busy with work? Should I give him a call now?’

It was as if there were two wolves in her mind. In the end, Xu Jiaojiao could not help but give him a call.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later…”

The sweet female voice on the other end of the phone was like a blow to her head, stunning Xu Jiaojiao.

Why did he turn off his phone?

Did his phone run out of battery, or was he mad at her after last night?

Xu Jiaojiao lingered in the bathroom for more than half an hour. If Aunt Xia had not knocked on the door, she would have forgotten to leave.

Just then, Xu Zhengyang had just returned home. His face was filled with fatigue as he yawned from time to time.

Tian Fanghua slapped his head. “You punk! It’s fine if you stay out all night, but you even took your sister drinking.. Are you trying to make me mad?”
