Meanwhile, in the hotel restaurant, Xu Jiaojiao glanced at the menu that the waiter had just handed her. She then gave the menu to the man opposite her. “I’ll eat anything. See if there are any dishes you like.” She could only roughly read the names of the dishes on the menu. There were no pictures, so she was afraid of making a fool of herself.

Qi Shenbai did not seem to notice her little scheme. He took the menu and skillfully ordered a few dishes. When he spoke English, his accent was proper, and his magnetic voice was as pleasant as a cello.

Xu Jiaojiao sighed inwardly. Not only was he rich, but he was also so handsome! He was amazing in all aspects. God really favored him.

After lunch, Qi Shenbai ordered an iced Americano. After drinking half the glass, he said in a low voice, “Let’s go back to China in the afternoon.”

“Huh?” Xu Jiaojiao held the glass of juice in her hand as a hint of surprise flashed across her clear eyes. “So soon? Have you settled your work already?”

Qi Shenbai nodded slightly. “Yes, I’ve already signed the contract.”

Xu Jiaojiao felt happy for him from the bottom of her heart. “That’s incredible. You procured the contract so quickly!”

“Yes, the contract was signed this morning. It will last for life.”

“Wow…” Xu Jiaojiao put down her cup and gave him a thumbs-up. “Your team is amazing!”

“So are you,” Qi Shenbai praised her.

Xu Jiaojiao thought that he was complimenting her drawing skills and smiled embarrassedly. “I’m nothing. You guys are better. I’ve only seen successful people like you in television dramas before.”

Qi Shenbai did not say anything else, but when she was not looking, he smiled.

Xu Jiaojiao waved for the waiter to pay the bill, but in the end, she could not use her card to pay in this restaurant. She had to pay in the local currency. However, she had only brought her clothes and phone when she went abroad. She did not bring any cash with her, let alone exchange it for foreign currency.

Qi Shenbai took out his wallet from his pocket and gave the other party the total amount along with a tip.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at him awkwardly. “How much did you spend in total? 1’11 transfer it to you via WeChat.”

“I’ll treat you this time.” Before Xu Jiaojiao could refuse, he added, “If you want to treat me, you can cook after we return to China. The chefs here don’t cook as well as you do.”

Xu Jiaojiao’s culinary skills were affirmed, so she nodded her head vigorously. “I’ll hold you to that. I’ll arrange a whole Manchu Han Imperial Feast for you when we get home!”

On the plane back to China, Qi Shenbai was still sitting with the higher-ups discussing work matters. Xu Jiaojiao asked the flight attendant for a glass of mineral water and took out her phone to watch an instructional video on drawing techniques. In the end, she could not even get to the two-minute mark before her eyes drooped to a close.

She even had a dream.

In the grayish-white minimalist room, the floor lamp glowed with yellow light. It was quiet and secluded. The man’s muscular upper body was exposed, and his strong arms pinned Xu Jiaojiao beneath him. Sweat rolled down his forehead and dripped into her collarbone.

Qi Shenbai’s pitch-black eyes became even deeper, like a bottomless pool of black water that was about to devour her entire body.

His thin lips pressed against her ear. He panted softly, his voice hoarse. “Young lady…”

“Jiaojiao…”

She forced herself to wake up from this suggestive dream. The moment she opened her eyes, she met the man’s deep and exquisite eyes.

Qi Shenbai held a blanket in his hand and was about to cover her with it when she suddenly woke up. His gaze stiffened slightly. “Did 1 wake you up?”

The blanket in his hand landed gently on her body, covering her shoulders tightly.

Xu Jiaojiao recalled the scene in her dream. He was half-naked, his eyes were bright, and hot sweat fell on her body. Her petite earlobes instantly turned red, and she did not even dare to look him in the eye.

Soon, her neck turned red all the way to her ears, and even her fair hands turned slightly red. She nervously pulled the blanket to cover half of her face, afraid that he would notice that something was wrong with her. “No…”

Seeing something amiss about her expression, Qi Shenbai could not help but ask worriedly, “Are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so red?”

As he spoke, he reached out to touch her and see if she had a fever. Before his large hand could touch her forehead, Xu Jiaojiao suddenly turned her head to avoid his touch. She even wrapped herself tightly in a blanket.

A muffled voice came from under the blanket. “I’m just a little sleepy. 1’11 be fine after sleeping for a while..”
