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

Chapter 30: What Should You Call Me?

"Alright, let\'s not talk about it anymore." Old Madam Xu patted Xu Jiaojiao\'s head. "As long as my Jiaojiao is happy, I can rest assured." As for that little b*stard Xu Zhengyang, his parents could worry about him.

It was getting late. A servant came over and asked, "Dinner is almost ready. May I know when Master Qi will arrive?"

For a moment, everyone\'s gazes fell on Xu Jiaojiao. Xu Jiaojiao stood up and said, "I\'ll call and ask."

When Mrs. Xu saw that, she smiled and said, "Look, she\'s embarrassed."

Old Madam Xu\'s complicated gaze fell on Xu Jiaojiao\'s back.

Xu Jiaojiao walked out of the villa and stood under the street lamp, looking at her phone. She did not know how to make the call.

Just then, the sound of an engine came from the door. Xu Jiaojiao looked up and saw a car slowly driving over. After a while, it stopped in front of her.

After Qi Shenbai got out of the car, he buttoned up his suit and looked at Xu Jiaojiao. "Sorry, I\'m late."

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head. "No, the timing was just right."

Pei Yan got out of the car and took out the things from the trunk. Both of his hands were full.

Xu Jiaojiao was surprised. "Why did you bring so many things?" As she spoke, she reached out to help Pei Yan carry them, but Qi Shenbai stopped her.

He carried two gift boxes and said, "It\'s only correct etiquette not to come empty-handed."

"Mr. Qi, thank you so much." Xu Jiaojiao felt that Qi Shenbai was being very meticulous about this, so she was touched. "How much did the gifts cost? I\'ll transfer the amount to you when we get back."

Qi Shenbai stopped in his tracks. Xu Jiaojiao was following behind him, so she almost bumped into him. She looked up and asked in confusion, "What\'s wrong? Why did you suddenly stop walking?"

Qi Shenbai turned around and met Xu Jiaojiao\'s clear and bright eyes. His Adam\'s apple moved slightly as he asked, "Are you going to call me Mr. Qi when we go in later?"

"Huh?" Xu Jiaojiao didn\'t know how to answer this question. In front of her family, calling him Mr. Qi was indeed inappropriate, but… what else could she call him besides Mr. Qi?

Qi Shenbai\'s tall and straight body stood still on the spot. He was not in a hurry, waiting for Xu Jiaojiao to slowly think about it.

On the other hand, Pei Yan could not help but remind her in a low voice, "His name! Just call me by his name."

Xu Jiaojiao came back to her senses. Her curly eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly flapping its wings. When she looked up and met Qi Shenbai\'s deep eyes, she became even more nervous. "Qi… Qi Shenbai…"

In the night, Qi Shenbai curled his lips imperceptibly and replied, "That\'s me."

Qi Shenbai, Qi Shenbai. Xu Jiaojiao repeated this name several times in her heart. This name seemed to have a magical power. Just by saying it like this, a warm current would flow through her heart and wrap around it tightly.

The two of them walked into the house with Pei Yan following behind. When the Xu family saw Qi Shenbai, they naturally welcomed him warmly. When they saw the gifts Qi Shenbai had brought, they expressed that he was too polite. He even brought so many things home for dinner.

Qi Shenbai was usually the center of attention outside and was used to being praised. When he was in a bad mood, he would not even bother responding to them. However, in front of the Xu family today, no matter what they asked, he would answer patiently without any mistakes.

Xu Zhengyang sat at the dining table and listened to his parents praise Qi Shenbai non-stop. He sneered inwardly. As expected of a capitalist who swallowed people whole! His acting ability was top-notch!

During the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, there was no lack of alcohol. Fortunately, they were all family, so they only drank a few mouthfuls to liven things up. Xu Zhengyang wanted to force Qi Shenbai to drink, but after his father glared at him, he could only put down his wine glass awkwardly and drink alone.

Xu Jiaojiao used the serving chopsticks to pick up some food for Qi Shenbai. At the same time, she whispered, "The fish cooked by our chef is very delicious. Try it."

Qi Shenbai lowered his head and saw that Xu Jiaojiao had picked the bones off the fish. The fish meat was fair and tender. His Adam\'s apple bobbed, and he turned his head to meet Xu Jiaojiao\'s smiling eyes.

He felt warmth flowing through him. His eyebrows relaxed, he picked up the fish meat and put it in his mouth. He allowed the fish meat to melt in his mouth, allowing his cold heart to soften bit by bit.

"Isn\'t it delicious?" Xu Jiaojiao\'s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Qi Shenbai nodded in affirmation. Encouraged, Xu Jiaojiao picked up her chopsticks to give him more food. "Eat more if it\'s delicious. You work so hard every day…"

Qi Shenbai did not say anything. He turned his head to look at Xu Jiaojiao\'s face, his eyes burning hot.

Old Madam Xu\'s body was weak, so she did not eat much. As she scooped up the lotus seed soup, she discreetly observed the interaction between Xu Jiaojiao and Qi Shenbai.
