After a minute, there was no reply. Qi Yunduo hurriedly sent another message: [Brother, reply to me quickly. I have something to report to you.]
Two minutes passed, but there was still no reply.
Qi Yunxiao was anxious. [Brother, someone bullied Sister-in-law.]
Qi Sheenbai immediately called her within seconds.
“What happened?” Qi Shenbai’s voice was nervous and urgent.
Looks like he was not busy with work, after all! He just did not want to talk to his sister, but he called instantly when she mentioned her sister-in-law. What kind of logic was that?
Forget it, she was not going to argue with him. Then, Qi Yunduo recounted what happened just now, but she did not say that she bought a shirt for Zhao Yunxiao.
Qi Shenbai did not reply. Instead, he hung up.
Only Mrs. Qi could make Qi Shenbai stop the negotiation and answer the phone like that. Pei Yan looked at the foreigner opposite him and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
However, he still could not help but walk to Qi Shenbai’s side and put his ear to the phone.
Qi Shenbai whispered in his ear and then looked at the foreigner opposite him.
“Anyone who can make Mr. Qi interrupt the negotiation must be very important…” The foreigner guessed.
“It’s about my wife,” Qi Shenbai replied calmly.
The foreigner was surprised. “Mr. Qi, you’re married?”
A hint of pride appeared on Qi Shenbai’s face. “Yes.”
“You must love your wife very much!” The foreigner was sincerely impressed.
“Yes.” Qi Shenbai’s calm smile proved the foreigner’s point.
It was actually very rude to pick up the phone halfway, but the negotiation went surprisingly smoothly.
These foreigners respected men who loved their wives and took responsibility for their families.
Just as the arrogant woman was preparing to pay the bill at the cashier and the salesperson had already wrapped up the shirt, the phone at the counter suddenly rang.
“Madam, please wait a moment. I have to take this call.” The salesperson was very apologetic, but she still picked up the phone. “Okay, I understand.”
After saying that, she looked at the woman apologetically. “Madam, I’m sorry. This shirt doesn’t belong to you anymore. It belongs to that young lady.” After saying that, she looked in Xu Jiaojiao’s direction.
“How?” The woman stared at her in disbelief.
“This lady is now the top VIP in our shop. She has the right to buy first and foremost. All the clothes in our shop are prepared for her first.”
The salesperson did not lower her voice as she spoke. Everyone in the shop turned to look at Xu Jiaojiao. When Xu Jiaojiao heard this, she could not help but gape in shock. “Me? Really?”
“Yes, Miss.” The salesperson handed the shirt to Xu Jiaojiao. “If you need anything, you can call our top VIP line.”
“A VIP line…?” Xu Jiaojiao had no idea what she was talking about.
Before she could react, Qi Yunduo pulled Xu Jiaojiao away. “Thank you.”
A long time after walking out of the shop, Xu Jiaojiao slowly regained her senses. “Did you call Lil Bai?”
“That’s right! I just couldn’t stand that woman’s arrogant look. She’s rich, but so what? Isn’t my brother richer than her?” Qi Yunduo said proudly.
Xu Jiaojiao could not help but feel helpless. That seemed like something Qi Yunduo would do. Then, her phone rang. It was a call from Qi Shenbai. Xu Jiaojiao picked it up and cautiously said, “Hello?”
The man’s deep voice asked, “Are you with Yunduo?”
“You know I am. Why are you still asking me?” Xu Jiaojiao’s sweet voice always softened his heart.
“If Yunduo hadn’t told me that you were being bullied, I wouldn’t have known.” Qi Shenbai was not blaming her, but he was worried.
“I wasn’t bullied. It’s just a shirt!” Xu Jiaojiao did not really care. On the contrary, she did not think much of it. After all, she was someone who had experienced actual harsh bullying. Such a small matter was nothing to her.
“That’s not just a shirt. It’s my gift from you,” Qi Shenbai emphasized. He did not want to see the shirt Xu Jiaojiao had chosen for him being worn by another man.
“Sigh! But there’s no surprise now.” Xu Jiaojiao could not help but feel disappointed.
“It’s okay, I can surprise you.” Qi Shenbai only wanted the gift not to fall into the hands of others.
“There’s no need. You just have to come back on time.” Xu Jiaojiao could not help but feel happy when she heard him say this.
“Why? Did you miss me?” Qi Shenbai read between the lines.
Xu Jiaojiao did not say so explicitly, but Qi Shenbai interpreted her words as proof that she was missing him endlessly. She did not deny it, either, just murmuring softly in agreement.
“You’re my lucky star. Everything went smoothly because of you. I might even get to go back early.” Hearing Qi Shenbai’s words, Xu Jiaojiao could not help but wonder, ‘What does this have to do with me?’
However, before she could ask, she heard Pei Yan urging him on.
“Go back to work already!” Although she was reluctant, she still had to say goodbye..
