The driver was speechless.

He pretended not to hear anything.

Qi Jing had a serious expression on his face.

But if one looked closely, they would find that he sounded a little awkward when he said that.

Xia Yunshu tried her best to hold back her laughter.

She did not expect that the person in charge of Sheng Rong Group, the current head of the aristocratic Qi Family in Yu City, who was rumored as a cold and ruthless figure in the outside world actually had such a cute side.

“Brother, I’m eighteen, not eight. I know all of this.”

Her body was eighteen years old…

Qi Jing accidentally caught a glimpse of her exquisite figure and quickly averted his gaze.

It was undeniable that her body was indeed eighteen years old, but her mind..

Forget it, he just had to keep an eye on her.

“It’s good that you know.”

His tone sounded very stiff, as if he had returned to his usual coldness.

However, it wasn’t the case with Xia Yunshu.

She could hear a hint of indulgence in his words.

However, it was obvious that Qi Jing only regarded her as his younger sister.

A younger sister was just a child.

She didn’t agree with it.

However, she was not in a hurry.

She had to take things one step at a time.

She believed that she was the first person who successfully hugged Qi Jing in just a few days.

She would definitely be the first person that Qi Jing would not push away or indulge.

She did not speak anymore.

She leaned on his shoulder and sized him up with a smile.

The more she looked at him, the more she felt that this person was very delicate.

If he did not always portray a cold face and looked so undefeatable, which made him more resolute, he would possess a manly beauty.

However, his vibe was too strong. There was not a hint of femininity on him, so he could not be described as “beautiful”.

He was still very pleasing to the eye.

Perhaps her gaze was too intense.

Qi Jing could not stand her stare.

He turned his head and looked at her again. “Why are you looking at me?”

“Brother, you look good.”

It was clearly a simple smile, and his expression was very pure.

However, Qi Jing inexplicably saw a hint of longing in her eyes as she stared at him.

His eyebrows jumped slightly.

He subconsciously avoided her gaze.

Then, he looked again, and that hint of love had already disappeared.

Qi Jing thought that he must have seen something wrong.

How could a child know anything about love?

It was probably a momentary lapse in judgment, and he mistook the attachment to his family in the child’s eyes for love.

“I’m serious, Brother is the most beautiful boy I’ve ever seen.”

“It’s not good to be so good-looking at such a young age. You can’t judge a person just by his appearance. You have to look at his inner self and ability.”

Qi Jing was actually in a good mood as he said this.

Even though the girl was young, there was nothing wrong with her aesthetic judgment.

“Inner self and ability?”

“In terms of inner self, Brother is undoubtedly an excellent person. In terms of ability, I heard from Uncle Qi that the Qi family’s businesses are all managed by my brother. Shengrong Group is flourishing under your leadership. This is obvious.”

“To me, Brother is the most outstanding and best person.”

Hearing her words, Qi Jing’s heart skipped a beat.

The beating speed was very fast and irregular, and he could not calm down for a long time.

He just looked her in the eye.

After a long while, he turned his face away. “You have the temperament of a child.”

However, the corners of his lips could not help but curve up slightly.

Xia Yunshu saw his reaction.

She admitted that she had said those words on purpose, but she was speaking from the bottom of her heart.

“I’m not being childish. I’m telling the truth.”

Enough was enough.

If she continued to tease him, she might freak him out.

She stared at him for a moment.

She was about to withdraw her gaze when her gaze was fixed on his eyes.

Earlier, there was a bit of sunlight shining on the car window, so she did not see it clearly.

Now that she took a closer look, there were some green shadows at the bottom of his eyes, and many red veins in his eyes.

He did not rest well.

“Brother, are you done with your business trip?”

“Yes.”

“Your business trip must be very tiring. Why didn’t you go home to rest first when you came back?”

Qi Jing paused slightly when he heard that. “I’ll pick you up on the way back.”

Xia Yunshu fixed her gaze on him.

After a long while, she smiled faintly and said, “Brother, you’re so nice.”

On the way back?

Whether it was from the airport to Jin Garden or from Shengrong Group to Jin Garden, they would not pass by Yu City High School on the way back.

He was clearly just here to pick her up.

Moreover, if he passed by, he would be sitting in the private car that he usually was in, and not the car that Aunt Song had specially prepared to send her to school..
