The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and her beautiful black hair fell naturally to her chest. The sunlight outside the window shone on her porcelain-white face, and he could almost see the light fuzz on the side of her face, like a sweet and juicy peach.

Qi Shenbai approached her quietly and stood beside her. When he lowered his head, he could see that she had drawn a pair of handsome lovers hugging and kissing. Xu Jiaojiao frowned as she looked at the scene. “It could be a bit more… blushy and heart-pounding.”

“What does ‘blushy and heart-pounding’ feel like?”

The sudden voice startled Xu Jiaojiao. Her petite body subconsciously trembled, and when she looked up, she saw a pair of smiling black eyes.

“When did you come back? I didn’t even hear your footsteps!” Xu Jiaojiao asked as she clutched her chest.

“1 just arrived. I was afraid of disturbing you.” Qi Shenbai saw that she was still in a state of shock and reached out to pat the top of her head. “Or did I scare you?”

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head and suddenly realized something. She hurriedly hid the sketchbook behind her back. When she thought about how he had seen the things she had drawn and heard her muttering to herself, she was so embarrassed that her ears turned red. She wanted to migrate to another planet so badly right now.

Since she was silent, Qi Shenbai squatted down and looked into her eyes.

“What’s wrong?” His thin lips parted slightly, and his eyes were filled with concern. “Did I scare you?”

If he had known earlier, he would have made some noise when he entered the door so that she would be mentally prepared.

Their eyes met suddenly, and their faces were inches apart. Xu Jiaojiao was inexplicably flustered, especially when he gently asked her what was wrong. She felt her heart race, and she shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Qi Shenbai looked at her and praised her seriously, “You drew very well.”

Xu Jiaojiao did not feel flattered by his compliment at all. She just wanted to roll over and die right now. Her voice was tiny as she explained, “I… I was drawing the cover of a school romance novel. The website wanted a kinda… flirty atmosphere. I wasn’t drawing… you-know-what.”

The corners of Qi Shenbai’s lips curled up slightly. “There’s no need to explain. You drew very well, and I didn’t misunderstand anything.” Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips. She felt as though that was not a compliment, but when she met his sincere eyes… Fine, it seemed like he really did mean it.

Qi Shenbai saw that she was frowning, so he gave her the box in his hand. “This is a gift for you.”

“A gift? For me?” Xu Jiao jiao looked at the exquisite little box in his hand, puzzled.

“Open it.”

Xu Jiaojiao opened the box and saw a dazzling diamond ring. Although the diamond was not big, the design was very unique.

Her long and thick eyelashes trembled unconsciously, and there was an unconcealable surprise in her eyes.

What did he mean by giving her a diamond ring? Was he proposing to her?

Qi Shenbai was amused by her expression of disbelief. He smiled and said, “You don’t want it?”

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head, the words slipping out of her mouth. “I didn’t say that! But why did you give me such an expensive gift?”

“We’re legally married now. Although it’s just an act, we still have to act like it.” Qi Shenbai took out the ring from the box and slowly put it on her ring finger. “In case Grandma finds out that we’re lying to her.”

“But… this ring costs a lot of money, right? I’m afraid 1 might lose it.” To be honest, Xu Jiaojiao did not really want it. If she really lost such a beautiful diamond ring, she probably would not be able to pay it back even if she kept doing illustrations for ten years.

“If you lose it, it’ll be deducted from your brother’s year-end bonus.”

Xu Jiaojiao thought it over. That was a pretty good idea!

Far away in Luo City, Xu Zhengyang, who was hard at work, sneezed inexplicably. He had no idea that a certain inhumane capitalist was already targeting his year-end bonus.

The wedding ring on her ring finger was slightly cold to the touch, and the diamond on the ring looked even more dazzling under the refraction of the light. Xu Jiaojiao adjusted the ring to a comfortable position. When she looked up and saw the man’s gentle gaze, a brilliant smile appeared on her fair face.

Qi Shenbai’s gaze fell on the sketchbook hidden behind her. He raised his eyebrows slightly. “Do you need my help?”

“Huh? But how?” Xu Jiaojiao was confused. “You don’t know how to draw. How can you help me?”

“Oh, I can help.” The man’s voice was low, and his gaze suddenly locked onto her delicate thin lips. His well-defined fingers gently pinched her chin, and he kept coming closer.

Xu Jiaojiao stood rooted to the ground as she looked at the man’s deep eyes, which reflected her shocked expression. She subconsciously gulped as her ears were filled with the sound of a thunderous heartbeat. The two of them were so close that she could no longer tell who the heartbeat belonged to..
