Beautiful Wife from Heaven: Mr. Qi, Let's Get Married

Chapter 19: Preventing the Tragedy

Xu Jiaojiao raised her head abruptly. Was it because of her that Qi Shenbai didn't let the driver drive? If the driver had been there, would he be fine? At least he would not die, right…? The driver was always behind the wheel, so he was more sensitive to danger than Pei Yan, Mr. Qi's assistant. His driving skills were also much better, so he might be able to avoid danger.

Qi Shenbai noticed that something was wrong with Xu Jiaojiao, but he thought that it was the aftereffects of last night's incident. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was about time. He would help the young lady overcome her troubles when she came back.

Qi Shenbai had only taken a few steps when someone grabbed his suit jacket. When he turned around, he saw Xu Jiaojiao's slender and fair fingers holding onto his black suit jacket, creating a stark visible contrast.

Xu Jiaojiao looked a little anxious as her mind raced. What should she do? Qi Shenbai was her brother's good friend. If anything happened to him, her brother would definitely be sad. Even setting aside his relationship with her brother, Qi Shenbai was still her husband in name. If he died, wouldn't she become a widow at way too young an age?

'Save him! I have to save him!' Xu Jiaojiao's face scrunched up.

Qi Shenbai sized up Xu Jiaojiao's expression. Although his eyes were filled with doubt, he did not rush her. When Pei Yan saw them like that, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

"I…" Xu Jiaojiao stuttered, as she had not thought of an excuse. "Um… Can I exchange drivers with you?"

Qi Shenbai said, "Give me a reason."

Xu Jiaojiao: "The driver over there looks a little fierce. I'm scared…"

The driver standing outside the door was speechless. He silently retreated out of the door.

Qi Shenbai glanced at the driver's actions and said calmly, "Don't worry, he wouldn't dare be rude to you."

Xu Jiaojiao was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. However, her small hands were still gripping Qi Shenbai's clothes tightly. "Then… then I want to take your car. Your car is more comfortable."

Perhaps he was softened by Xu Jiaojiao's big, teary eyes, or perhaps he was in a hurry and wanted to get her out of his hair, so Qi Shenbai did not say anything more. He simply asked Pei Yan to drive another car out of the basement.

Before Pei Yan left, he glanced at Xu Jiaojiao. He did not expect this young lady to be so vain.

Xu Jiaojiao did not care what Pei Yan thought of her. She only thought that Qi Shenbai should be fine now.

"Can you let go now?" Qi Shenbai's dark eyes fell on Xu Jiaojiao's small hand. Xu Jiaojiao reacted and quickly let go, a faint smile appearing on her face. "Have a safe trip, Mr. Qi."

Just then, Pei Yan drove over from the underground garage. The new car was a Cayenne. After Qi Shenbai got into the car, the Cayenne quickly disappeared from his sight.

The driver also stood up and asked softly, "Miss Xu, can we set off now?"

Xu Jiaojiao was speechless. When she met the driver's gaze, her face flushed red! She had been so focused on finding an excuse just now that she did not expect it to hurt the driver's pride!

After Xu Jiaojiao got into the Bentley, she sighed silently in her heart. It was so stressful! Ever since she moved into Qingshui Villa, she had been embarrassed more and more.

The car drove steadily on the road. The driver thought that Xu Jiaojiao was afraid of him, so he consciously put on his mask and did not speak. Luo City University and the Qi Group were in the same direction, so the driver was very familiar with this road. Just as he was about to turn at the next intersection, a large truck suddenly rushed out. Probably because the driver was naturally sensitive to the dangers of the road, the driver did not hesitate to turn the steering wheel to avoid the large truck!

Although the driver reacted quickly, the truck was equally fast. The front of the truck slammed into the back of the Bentley. Before Xu Jiaojiao, who was sitting in the back seat, could react, she heard a loud crash! Immediately after, the car window shattered and glass shards flew everywhere. Xu Jiaojiao fell to the side uncontrollably and was pulled back by the seatbelt. Her ears buzzed and the scene in front of her kept spinning, as if the world had turned upside down.

When she lost consciousness, Xu Jiaojiao only had one thought left in her mind. She had prevented the tragedy by taking Qi Shenbai's place!

…

At Luo City's First People's Hospital...

The door of the ward was pushed open. Xu Zhengyang, who was wearing a dark green suit, rushed toward the person on the bed anxiously. "Oh no, my precious baby sister…"

Xu Jiaojiao was sitting on the hospital bed, where the nurse was applying medicine for her. When she heard Xu Zhengyang's voice, she pursed her lips and smiled. "Brother, why are you here?"

Xu Zhengyang did not answer. Instead, he circled around her worriedly. "Are you alright? Let Big Brother take a look. Where are you hurt?" He reached out and touched Xu Jiaojiao's arm and leg. Fortunately, they were all intact and warm.
