Chapter 61: You’re Not Feeling Well and Still Disobedient

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘What did 1 do on purpose?’ Xu Jiaojiao was caught off-guard. When she saw the displeasure on his face, she suddenly remembered.

“I forgot. I blacklisted you.” Because he had repeatedly called Qi Shenbai a pretty boy with no substance, she had blacklisted him. She did not like hearing that.

In any case, there was no need for her to contact Lu Zhuo in the future.

“You know how nice my grandmother is to you.” Lu Zhuo seemed to be suppressing his unhappiness as he spoke. “If it weren’t for what happened between us, my grandmother wouldn’t have fallen sick. Ever since she fell sick, she kept talking about wanting to see you.”

Xu Jiaojiao lowered her eyes and did not say anything. It was strange. Everyone in the Lu family did not seem to like her. Only Old Mrs. Lu treated her very well, sometimes even better than she treated Lu Zhuo. Whether it was because she had doted on her for so many years or because of the relationship between the two families in the past, Xu Jiaojiao did feel like she should visit the old lady.

However, she rubbed her red nose and said in a nasal voice, “I have a cold now. I’ll go see Grandma when I’m better.”

So she was sick. Lu Zhuo’s expression brightened considerably. He asked with concern, “Shall I go to the hospital with you?”

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head. “I can go by myself.”

“Where’s Qi Shenbai?” Lu Zhuo looked at her and frowned. “Didn’t you register your marriage? Why isn’t he by your side when you’re sick?”

Xu Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked at him. She really wanted to rebuke him. ‘What does it have to do with you? Why are you pretending to care?’

As soon as she pursed her thin lips, she could not help but sneeze. She took out a tissue from her bag and wiped her nose, unintentionally revealing the dazzling diamond ring on her ring finger. Lu Zhuo’s eyes darkened as he mocked, “You’re really putting on a show, huh? You even bought a diamond ring just to make me give up? Xu Jiaojiao, you’re really ruthless sometimes.”

Xu Jiaojiao did not have a good temper either. She was thoroughly enraged by his sarcastic tone and finally snapped back at him, “1 bought a diamond ring just to make you give up? Why don’t you take a look at yourself? What a joke!”

Lu Zhuo stood rooted to the ground. He had never seen Xu Jiaojiao so hostile toward him.

Xu Jiaojiao still felt that it was not enough, so she added fiercely, “Stop staring at your reflection, you narcissist. Ask yourself if you’re really worthy of my attention!”

Just as Lu Zhuo’s pride was shattering, Xu Jiaojiao saw Cang Xing’s car approaching from afar. Without looking back, she got into the car and told Cang Xing to drive faster.

By the time Lu Zhuo regained his senses, the car had already disappeared down the end of the road. He was frustrated, angry, and a little dejected.

Why did things have to escalate like this every time they met after the wedding was canceled? How did they end up like this? They could not even have a proper conversation anymore…

Cang Xing drove the car quickly while secretly observing the depressed little girl through the rearview mirror. She looked like an injured little puppy. Hesitating, he said, “Madam, did he provoke you again? Do you need me to help you deal with it?”

Xu Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at him, her brows knitted into a frown. “Geez… How are you going to deal with him? This is a society governed by the law. Don’t do anything stupid!”

She did not want him to get Qi Shenbai and the Qi Group in trouble.

“…” Cang Xing’s lips twitched as he explained, “1 meant to scare him so that he wouldn’t dare to harass you again.”

“Oh…” Xu Jiaojiao heaved a sigh of relief and cleared her throat. “There’s no need for that. There’s no point in scaring him.”

She knew Lu Zhuo too well. He had been pampered since he was young and had always been self-centered. He did not care about the opinions of others at all.

Even if she were to warn him, he would probably become even worse in the future.

The car stopped at the entrance of Qingshui Villa. As soon as Xu Jiao jiao got out of the car and steadied herself, she saw Qi Shenbai returning from the

company.

The autumn wind blew, and her long black hair fluttered in the wind.

“Achoo—” She could not help but sneeze.

Qi Shenbai stared at her and frowned. He was obviously a little unhappy. “It’s cold out, so why are you wearing so little?”

“I don’t think counts as ‘so little’…” Xu Jiaojiao was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder. The man’s clean aura had already enveloped her entire body. Qi Shenbai took off his suit coat and put it on her, not forgetting to tighten the collar.

“No need, we’ll be home soon.” Xu Jiaojiao reached out to take off the coat.

Qi Shenbai used his arm to press down on her shoulder to stop her from moving.. “You’re not feeling well and you’re still disobedient?”
