Xu Jiaojiao nodded and looked out of the window. It was already dark. She turned to the butler and asked, “Is Qi Shenbai not back yet?”

It was already past nine o’clock.

“Work gets busy at the company at the end of the year. He should be back soon, though,” the butler replied.

“Okay,” Xu Jiaojiao said softly.

At the thought that Qi Shenbai would be back soon, her heart was filled with anticipation and uncontrollable joy.

Half an hour later, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Qi Shenbai walked in. There were a few snowflakes on his black coat and hair.

When Xu Jiaojiao saw Qi Shenbai return, she happily ran over to welcome him.

“You’re back!”

When Qi Shenbai heard Xu Jiaojiao’s voice, his fatigue from the entire day was swept clean away.

“Why are you so excited?”

“It’s snowing outside, and now you’re back,” Xu Jiaojiao chirped.

Qi Shenbai’s heart was warmed to the brim, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

She was so simple and straightforward that he could not resist at all.

Xu Jiaojiao smiled gently and looked at the snow on his head. She stood on her tiptoes and prepared to brush it away.

Qi Shenbai lowered his head cooperatively and allowed Xu Jiaojiao to brush the snow off his head. His gaze was as gentle as the warm sun in March. When he looked at her, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

After he bent down, Xu Jiaojiao did not have to tiptoe to brush off the snow on his head.

Xu Jiaojiao looked out of the window. It was snowing heavily now.

“If this goes on for the night, we can build a snowman tomorrow, right?”

Qi Shenbai looked at Xu Jiaojiao gently and knew what she was thinking. He teased, “You’re still thinking about building a snowman? If the snow continues, the city’s traffic and the sanitation workers will be busy.”

Xu Jiaojiao pouted and wanted to retort, but what Qi Shenbai said was the truth. In the end, she could not say anything.

Qi Shenbai’s words were as… irrefutable as ever.

Seeing Xu Jiaojiao’s little face scrunch up, Qi Shenbai reached out and pinched her face. “Are you mad at me?”

Not at all.” Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips and thought about it carefully. Qi Shenbai’s words did make sense.

“You’re right. I’ve thought about it. Why don’t 1 volunteer tomorrow to sweep the snow and come back tomorrow night to build a snowman?”

Without waiting for Qi Shenbai’s reply, Xu Jiaojiao jogged upstairs, preparing to sweep the snow tomorrow.

Qi Shenbai looked at Xu Jiaojiao’s back as she left. He suddenly smiled and silently followed behind her.

“I have an annual party tomorrow. Do you want to come with?”

“Nah, I have something important to do tomorrow. I’m very busy.”

She had to volunteer first, then she would come back in the evening to build a snowman. Her schedule was full for the rest of the day.

Qi Shenbai regretted his own words now.

“The annual party will be held at night. You have time.”

“Still, I’m not going.”

“Why?” Was she really angry because of a joke?

Xu Jiaojiao looked at Qi Shenbai and began to break down her thought process. “I’m not part of your company, and 1 don’t know the employees there. 1 have no reason to be there.”

Earlier, when she was with Lu Zhuo, she had accommodated him in every way, but he still took her for granted.

Her experience with him taught her not to force herself to do things she did not want. Now, she would never do anything against her conscience just for her relationship.

Besides… For some reason, she did not want to hide her real feelings from Qi Shenbai.

Qi Shenbai pondered for a moment and nodded. “You’re right, I didn’t consider that. I just thought you would be interested because there will be a lucky draw this year.”

Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up.

A lucky draw! What could the prize be?

Qi Shenbai smiled as if he did not see the excitement in her eyes. “If I remember correctly, the first prize is a half-month trip to the Maldives. There are also cash rewards, PCs, phones, and so on.”

The rewards were so generous!

Xu Jiaojiao was completely tempted.

The iPad that she had bought all the way back then had too little memory, so it was quite inconvenient. She could get a new one to replace it!

If she could win the lucky draw, then…

However, she had already turned Qi Shenbai down just now. If she went back on her word now, wouldn’t it seem like she was greedy for free stuff?

“Your brother said that you’re pretty lucky. 1 wanted to see if it was true,” Qi Shenbai said, giving Xu Jiao jiao a way out.

Xu Jiaojiao nodded gently. “Then I can go for a bit.

“But I still have to see if there’s enough time. After all, I have to volunteer tomorrow.”

“It’s fine. I’ll go with you tomorrow,” Qi Shenbai said.

Xu Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked at Qi Shenbai in surprise. “You’re going too?”

“Of course. My little girlfriend is going, after all.”

Xu Jiaojiao blushed and quickly turned her head away. He was teasing her again!

“Good night.”

With that, Xu Jiaojiao opened the door and went into her room..
