Xu Jiaojiao helped Old Madam Xu unwrap the gift. It was a radio. “Grandma, your old radio is broken, right? So 1 bought you a new one. Now you can listen to the radio again.”

Although technology was advanced now and there were all kinds of electronic products, old people were still used to the old things. Old Madam Xu was no exception. The elderly could not learn how to use smartphones at all. When they had nothing to do, they could only watch television.

However, as far as Xu Jiaojiao remembered, her grandmother did not like television that much. Instead, she liked the radio, with which she could listen to audio programs, book reviews, or crosstalk.

As she spoke, Xu Jiaojiao began to change the channel for Old Madam Xu and played a romantic audio drama. Old Madam Xu used to love such programs.

Seeing that the gift she bought was not that expensive, Old Madam Xu gratefully accepted it and even praised Xu Jiaojiao for being sensible.

Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled. Her heart was filled with sweetness. She stayed with Old Madam Xu until her grandmother fell asleep before reluctantly leaving.

Late that night, Qingshui Villa was filled with bright lights.

After Xu Jiaojiao went inside, she saw Qi Shenbai sitting on the sofa. “You’re still awake?”

“Yes,” Qi Shenbai replied indifferently.

“I went to my Grandmother’s place tonight, so 1 didn’t come back to eat,” Xu Jiaojiao quickly explained, afraid that Qi Shenbai would misunderstand.

“I know.” Qi Shenbai nodded. “Yunduo came over during dinner and told me.”

“Oh, that’s good. I’m going upstairs. You should rest early too,” Xu Jiaojiao said as she ran upstairs. She walked into the bedroom and prepared to change out of her clothes.

As soon as she opened the cabinet door, she was blocked by the man beside her.

“What is it?” Xu Jiaojiao had not noticed Qi Shenbai coming in and was taken by surprise.

“What… do… you… think?” Qi Shenbai enunciated each word clearly.

“How would I know?” Xu Jiaojiao looked at him innocently.

“Forget it, then.” Qi Shenbai let go of the closet door and turned to walk out of her room.

Xu Jiaojiao hid a snicker as she looked at his back. She quickly ran over, and Qi Shenbai felt a weight on his back as she threw her arms around his neck.

“What’s wrong? Are you angry?” Xu Jiao jiao whispered in his ear.

“Who said I was angry?” Qi Shenbai denied it.

“You’re obviously angry, you hard-headed ox!” Xu Jiaojiao pinched his face.

Qi Shenbai burst into laughter. “My head isn’t hard, but another part of me is. Do you want to guess?”

What part of him was… hard? Xu Jiaojiao suddenly understood and buried her head in his back. “You’re so obscene.”

“Come on, get down.”

“No, I like it when you carry me. Besides, I won’t let you carry me for free. You’ll be rewarded if you carry me nicely,” Xu Jiaojiao said lightly.

Qi Shenbai’s eyes lit up when he heard this. “What’s the reward?”

“Here, your gift.” Xu Jiaojiao took out a black bow tie from behind her back. The material was silky smooth.

“Why did you give me a bow tie?” Qi Shenbai took it and held it in his hand. It felt smooth and soft, like a baby’s skin.

She must have spent a long time choosing this thing. Thinking of this, Qi Shenbai’s heart felt warm.

“From now on, wear it when you attend banquets or important events, understand?” Xu Jiao jiao said gently.

As for why she chose this gift for him, it was entirely because his neck was beautiful. It was long and straight, like a swan’s neck.

He would look amazing with the bow tie that she had carefully chosen. Also, when he wore it on important occasions, he would often think of her.

“I love it,” Qi Shenbai said as Xu Jiaojiao got off his back.

“Didn’t you say that I’m your gift? So why were you throwing a tantrum at me just now?” Xu Jiaojiao tapped his forehead. She was the only one in the world who dared to be so rude to him. Xu Jiaojiao would not dare to do something like this in the beginning, but after being with him for a long time, she was not so afraid of him anymore.

“Both Yunduo and Su Luo got to spend time with you, so why couldn’t 1 have you?” He was clearly angry that Xu Jiaojiao did not give him a gift as soon as she got back.

He was even jealous of other women.

“Then… are you still angry now?” Xu Jiao jiao looked up and met his gaze. His eyes were filled with love, and Xu Jiaojiao melted under his gaze.

He kissed her lips affectionately and passionately. “I’m still a little angry. Do you want to keep coaxing me?”

“Dream on.” Xu Jiaojiao pouted coquettishly. Her face had also turned rosy like a red pomegranate, sparkling and smooth. Looking at her adorable face, he could not help but be tempted.

The two of them kissed deeply, and the temperature in the room rose.

Outside the house, the cicadas were chirping. The long-awaited summer had arrived..
