69: C69 Jealousy

C69 Jealousy

In the afternoon, Qi Jincheng sat on the sofa and flipped through the documents.

Su Xiaoxiao obediently sat beside him.

She held a pencil in her hand and was trying to fill in a book with her head lowered.

This was a book of numbers. It was one of the gifts Dr. Lu gave her.

When she first started learning, Su Xiaoxiao did not even understand the rules of the game. Dr. Lu patiently explained it to her a few times and gave her an example in a humorous and funny way. Only then did Su Xiaoxiao understand a little.

It seemed like she had gotten addicted to it.

She lowered her head. She had already maintained this action for a few hours.

Su Xiaoxiao was originally very sensitive to numbers, and this game of numbers was even easier. She could complete five pages in ten minutes.

But now facing this game, she could only pretend to be serious.

After all, it was easier to lower her head and play games than to run around crazily in the house.

She could also take some time to sneak a peek at Qi Jincheng's profile.

He was so handsome that it could explode the sky!

Qi Jincheng flipped another page with his finger.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao beside him out of the corner of his eye. He bypassed her broken hair and looked at the page just now.

Five minutes ago, Su Xiaoxiao had stopped at this pace.

She bit her lips and her gaze seriously fell on those numbers. Clearly, she was troubled.

"Five."

Qi Jincheng reminded.

"Hmm?"

Su Xiaoxiao's thoughts were interrupted. She looked at Qi Jincheng doubtfully.

The latter was amused by his confused look. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. His slender fingers tapped on a spot on Su Xiaoxiao's page. He kindly reminded, "Here, it's five."

Su Xiaoxiao then came to a realization.

She stuck out her tongue and wrote a childish number five on the corresponding position.

Then, she continued to stare at the page and seriously thought about it.

Dr. Lu said that Su Xiaoxiao was like a person in a bottle. She was unwilling and did not like to take the initiative to come into contact with things outside of common sense.

Compared to breaking the rules, she preferred to play around by herself.

And this kind of game, the Dualdom, could train her ability to concentrate and think.

This was also an important part of the restoration.

Before he left, the only task he left for Su Xiaoxiao was to solve this page.

But now it seemed that this was the simplest 1-star hurdle and it was also somewhat difficult for her.

Seeing her distressed expression, Qi Jincheng wanted to remind her a little, but he still endured it.

The two of them did their own things on the sofa in the living room. The servants did not dare to disturb them and quietly retreated to work a little further away.

But the good times did not last long. The butler, Qi Dong, walked in.

He looked at the two of them for a while, then went around the sofa and whispered into Qi Jincheng's ear, "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master is here."

Qi Jincheng's hand, which was flipping the pages, paused and his gaze fell on him.

Ever since he was seized of power, Qi Hanyi had never come here.

This pair of brothers, who were incompatible with each other, both guarded their own territory, and never took the initiative to step into each other's territory.

He was afraid that they had come with ill intentions today.

"Say that I'm not here."

Qi Jincheng gently waved his hand and turned his gaze back to the page.

But before he could take a look, a small head came out of his hand.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes and curiously asked him, "Beautiful brother, who came?"

"Is it grandpa?"

Qi Jincheng flicked his finger and lightly scratched her nose.

"Not grandpa."

Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and did not continue asking.

In her mind, there were only a few people in total. Since it was not, she did not intend to devote herself to it.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed the book to the side and crossed her legs. She grabbed a piece of pastry and chewed it as if she was out of the sea of bitterness.

"Why don't you write it?"

Qi Jincheng looked up at her.

"These questions are too difficult. Xiaoxiao doesn't know how to write them."

Su Xiaoxiao was a little discouraged. "When Xiaoxiao fill in the numbers, there will always be the same number."

Qi Jincheng was amused by her appearance. "If you don't like it, then don't do it."

This matter could not be rushed.

But Su Xiaoxiao gently shook her head. After she swallowed the pastry in her mouth, she said, "Xiaoxiao must make it today!"

"Because Dr. Lu promised to bring Xiaoxiao a gift as a reward ~"

Su Xiaoxiao was very excited when she mentioned the gift.

In Xiaoxiao's heart, Dr. Lu seemed to be more and more important.

He would even frequently appear in her mouth.

Thinking of this, Qi Jincheng's face darkened slightly. He chose his words carefully and did not reveal his true feelings. He probed, "You seem to like Dr. Lu very much."

Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and was about to answer.

But she suddenly noticed that Qi Jincheng's tone was not right.

She raised her head to size Qi Jincheng up and saw that his gaze was deep and serious.

Hmm?

Was he jealous?!

Su Xiaoxiao laughed wildly in her heart. She could not let go of this opportunity.

"That's right! Xiaoxiao really likes Dr. Lu!"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded her head heavily and gradually her eyes started to sparkle.

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Qi Jincheng's face was getting darker and darker.

As expected, in her heart, she was not special.

Qi Jincheng thought to himself, as long as anyone was willing to spend time with her, he would be able to get her to like him.

What was with this feeling of suppression?

He felt a little disappointed in his heart...

Qi Jincheng was just about to close the book and leave when his hands were gently wrapped by a pair of small hands.

He lowered his head and met a pair of big bright eyes.

"But Xiaoxiao's love for Dr. Lu is different from Xiaoxiao's love for her beautiful brother."

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and wanted to find a suitable word.

But this was too difficult for her.

She could only stiffly explain, "The beautiful brother is Xiaoxiao's husband. He is someone Xiaoxiao can always trust."

"Dr. Lu is someone Xiaoxiao likes to play with. Xiaoxiao likes to hear Dr. Lu tell stories and likes the gifts that Dr. Lu sent, but Dr. Lu will not be Xiaoxiao's husband."

She danced and said a long sentence. Qi Jincheng understood what she meant. This clumsy and funny explanation was actually a little cute.

"I know."

The temperature around Qi Jincheng rose a lot. Su Xiaoxiao bared her teeth and smiled at him. The two small dimples were very cute.

At this time, Qi Dong walked back again.

He came to Qi Jincheng's side and conveyed the message.

"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master said that he came with Mister Zhang Zhong to convey his apology."

"He also prepared an apology."

This was to resolve the matter of Su Xiaoxiao being brought to their villa last time.

That day, Qi Bei and his men chased after her with all their might, but they only caught up to two unimportant people.

They couldn't ask anything.

Today, the two of them had probably come here to resolve the aftermath of this matter.1

After thinking for a moment, Qi Jincheng waved his hand and didn't say anything.

Qi Bei understood. He bowed slightly and asked someone to bring Qi Hanyi and Zhang Zhong in.

Two minutes later, footsteps came.

Under the lead of the maids, two people followed in. Behind them were four people who looked like bodyguards. They were carrying gifts of various sizes in their hands.
