“Why not?” Lu Zhuo was confused.
“Because I don’t like your mother. She’s sarcastic and she hates me. And your sister is always making things difficult for me. Then there’s your father, too. 1 hate that he’s a cheating liar. That’s why I don’t want to be friends with you either.”
Xu Jiaojiao’s words were like a child’s brutal honesty, but she was telling the truth. She did not care about Lu Zhuo enough to lie to him.
“Don’t you have any feelings left for me at all?” Lu Zhuo refused to give up. He didn’t believe that Xu Jiaojiao would marry someone else just because he went to visit Bai Mengyao.
Xu Jiaojiao did not answer. Instead, she said, “Actually, you were right to run away from the marriage. We’re really not compatible. I’m sorry. In the past, because of me, you and Miss Bai Mengyao separated. Now, there’s no one else standing between you two. You can finally be together. I wish you all the best.” “I wasn’t running away from our marriage. I just wanted to help her,” Lu Zhuo quickly explained.
“You can finally have your happy ending with her. What else do you want?” Xu Jiaojiao was puzzled. He could openly be with Bai Mengyao now! Why was he still talking nonsense to her?
“Jiaojiao, Bai Mengyao and 1 are over. The one I love now is…”
Before Lu Zhuo could finish speaking, a magnetic male voice spoke up from afar. “Jiaojiao.”
Xu Jiaojiao turned around and saw Qi Shenbai. “Why are you here?” It was definitely an unexpected surprise. She hurriedly ran over and hugged his arm.
“I came here as soon as my meeting ended. Come on, I’ll take you to eat something delicious.” Qi Shenbai looked at her dotingly.
“Oh, nice! I’m starving.” After drawing for four hours, her stomach was already empty.
“Let’s go, get in the car.” Qi Shenbai pulled Xu Jiaojiao into his arms and walked out with her, holding her by the shoulders. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lu Zhuo, who was standing not far away. His gaze was cold and distant.
This was not enough. After they got into the car, Qi Shenbai gave Xu Jiaojiao a passionate kiss. His hot lips pressed against her cherry-like mouth, and the heat lingered between their lips and teeth.
“C-Come on, someone’s watching!” Xu Jiaojiao said coquettishly.
Qi Shenbai did not listen to what she said. Instead, he wound up the car window and continued kissing her for more than ten minutes.
“Before we eat, I’ll give you a reward.” Qi Shenbai pursed his mouth as if licking the sweetness left on his lips.
Lu Zhuo witnessed all of this from a short distance away. Not only was Qi Shenbai kissing her, but she was also responding to him. ‘Why are you doing this?’ he thought in despair. ‘Don’t you care about me at all?’
It was clearly a sunny day, but Lu Zhuo felt freezing cold.
Pei Yan had already gone to the restaurant in advance and ordered the dishes. When Xu Jiaojiao and Qi Shenbai arrived, the dishes were already served and ready for them.
As Qi Shenbai gave Xu Jiao jiao some food, he asked, “Why did Lu Zhuo appear in the museum hall?”
“Oh, his company is the sponsor of this competition,” Xu Jiaojiao explained as she ate. “Or maybe it’s because of Bai Mengyao!” From Xu Jiaojiao’s point of view, Lu Zhuo had left her at the altar for Bai Mengyao, and now he was probably sponsoring the competition for her too.
“So that’s how it is.” Qi Shenbai revealed a mischievous smile. He knew very well what Lu Zhuo was thinking, but his little girl seemed wholly unaware.
He did not argue otherwise, allowing Xu Jiaojiao to keep thinking that. The last thing he wanted was for her to regret her decision after finding out about Lu Zhuo’s feelings for her…
No, she would never do that, because he would never give her the chance to.
Xu Jiaojiao was so focused on eating that she did not notice the change in Qi Shenbai’s expression.
A week later, the selection for the Ma Liang Cup was over. On this day, the rankings were announced in the hall of the museum.
All the participants could be present. They could also bring their family and friends.
Xu Jiaojiao did not tell her parents. Instead, she told Xu Zhengyang. However, he did not come because he had something to do. In the end, it was Su Luo who came along, together with Qi Yunduo.
Just before the results were announced, Xu Jiaojiao was very calm. On the other hand, Su Luo and Qi Yunduo were even more excited than she was.
“I’m sure you’ll get first place,” Qi Yunduo said excitedly.
“How can you be so sure?” Su Luo asked in return, but she was just teasing Qi Yunduo.
“Because she’s my sister-in-law, of course. Anyone who can be my sister-in-law must be very capable,” Qi Yunduo said proudly.
Su Lu smiled at her innocence and continued to tease her. “Then why didn’t your brother come on such an important occasion?”
“My brother is busy with work. He’ll definitely come after he’s done,” Qi Yun hurriedly explained, afraid that Xu Jiaojiao would misunderstand..
