Beautiful Wife from Heaven: Mr. Qi, Let’s Get Married-Chapter 25

Have We Met Before?

Under the warm orange light, Qi Shenbai’s usually cold facial features appeared gentler. His facial features were deep and his expression was serious. His thin lips under his high nose bridge were slightly pursed, making him look like an immortal who had descended to the mortal world.

At this moment, a few blurry and chaotic images suddenly flashed across Xu Jiaojiao’s mind. Her heart tightened as the familiar feeling surged in her heart. She wanted to see the images in her mind clearly, but she could not.

Qi Shenbai threw the used cotton swab into the trash can, tore open a new band-aid, and stuck it on Xu Jiaojiao’s forehead. When he saw something off about her expression, he asked, “What’s wrong? Did I hurt you?”

Xu Jiaojiao opened her eyes and looked into his deep eyes. After a while, she gently shook her head. “No, I just felt that this scene was very familiar, as if it had happened before.”

Qi Shenbai did not reply and tightened the lid of the medicine bottle.

Xu Jiaojiao asked curiously, “Have we met before?” Qi Shenbai and Xu Zhengyang were good friends. Logically speaking, they should have met before, but she had forgotten a lot of things. Could this include Qi Shenbai?

Qi Shenbai, who was holding the medicine bottle, paused and did not answer the question. “Dry your hair and rest early.” With that, he stood up and left.

Xu Jiaojiao bit her finger. “Have we really never met before? But the feeling just now was really familiar.”

…

After resting at home for a week, Xu Jiaojiao had to return to school. The wound on her forehead had scabbed over, and she lowered her bangs to cover it up.

Xu Zhengyang had breakfast with Qi Shenbai in the morning. Just as she was about to head to school, she saw a red sports car parked in front of the door. Xu Zhengyang was wearing a floral shirt as he sat in the driver’s seat. When he saw Xu Jiaojiao coming out, he took off his glasses elegantly. “Good morning, my dear sister.”

Xu Jiaojiao was speechless. All of a sudden, she wanted to throw her brother away. How embarrassing!

Qi Shenbai did not have any special reaction to Xu Zhengyang’s flashy appearance. Instead, his deep eyes seemed to be enjoying the show.

“Big Brother, why are you here?” Xu Jiaojiao braced herself and stepped forward.

“I’m here to pick you up for school.” Xu Zhengyang was about to get out of the car when a gust of wind blew over. His loose floral shirt got caught on the steering wheel. The relatively handsome scene suddenly became rather hilarious.

Xu Zhengyang took a long time to untangle his floral shirt. When he looked up, he met Qi Shenbai’s deep gaze, and he instantly exploded. “Qi Shenbai, what kind of expression is that?! Are you mocking me?”

Qi Shen’s lips slowly curled up. Ignoring Xu Zhengyang, he said to Xu Jiaojiao, “I’ll be leaving first.” With that, he got into the car and left.

Xu Zhengyang frowned in displeasure and asked Xu Jiaojiao, “Tell me, Sis, was his expression mocking me just now? How dare he mock me! He has no right to mock me! He’s just jealous that I brought a new car!”

“…” Xu Jiaojiao did not think Qi Shenbai had any reason to be jealous of that. In order to change the topic, Xu Jiaojiao tugged at Xu Zhengyang’s sleeve. “Brother, when did you get this sports car?”

“Didn’t I tell you? I just bought it.” Xu Zhengyang raised his chin proudly.

“Where did you get the money from?” Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes suddenly widened. “Brother, you didn’t steal Mom and Dad’s money, did you? If Dad finds out, he’ll break your legs!”

“What are you saying?!” Xu Zhengyang poked Xu Jiaojiao’s forehead. “I’m an aspiring young man with an annual salary of a few million yuan. It’s just a sports car. I can buy now whenever I want!”

“Oh, then why are you still complaining to me about being poor and asking me for living expenses?” Xu Jiaojiao glanced at him. She was willing to bet that Xu Zhengyang must have spent all his savings to buy this car.

Xu Zhengyang looked embarrassed. He put his arm around Xu Jiaojiao’s shoulder and changed the topic. “Alright, alright. I’ll send you to school. Don’t be late.”

Xu Jiaojiao removed his arm and hesitated. “I’ll get the driver to drive me. Your car is too flashy.”

“It’s not that bad! Hurry up and get in the car!” Xu Zhengyang half-forced Xu Jiaojiao into the front passenger seat.

“…”

Forty minutes later, the red sports car stopped at the entrance of Luo City University, instantly attracting the attention of many people. Xu Jiaojiao felt that she was about to die of embarrassment. After getting out of the car, she hurriedly ran towards the school. “Bye-bye, Big Brother!”

“Why are you running? Don’t you want your drawing board anymore?” Xu Zhengyang got out of the car with Xu Jiaojiao’s drawing board, foiling her escape attempt. Xu Jiaojiao resigned herself to her fate and turned around. Then, she heard Xu Zhengyang say, “I’ll pick you up after school.”

“…No, thanks.”
