    Seeing Xu Jiaojiao’s helpless expression, Qi Shenbai gently smiled and rubbed her head.


    “Alright, if you don’t want to show me, then don’t. I’m going to take a shower now. Rest early.”


    Qi Shenbai got up and walked upstairs.


    After watching Qi Shenbai leave, Xu Jiao jiao picked up her phone and logged into Weibo.


    Weibo was very popr a few years back, so Xu Jiaojiao had created an ount. However, she had not used it much in recent years. She only asionally posted her paintings on it or left a few personal anecdotes.


    As time went by, though, she slowly gathered more fans on Weibo. Now, she had more than 150,000 followers. She was now a minor celebrity in the Weibo art world.


    A few publishing houses even asked to coborate with her. Many people tried tomission her, but her schedule was just too full.


    Xu Jiaojiao typed out a paragraph and posted it.


    Queen Jiaojiao: [What should I do if I have a boyfriend who is smarter and more cunning than me? He keeps tripping me up!]


    Within a minute, there were nearly a hundredments in thements section.


    One of the fansmented, [Waah!! Jiaojiao, are you dating someone now?! My poor broken heart…]


    Xu Jiaojiao happened to be online, so she typed out a reply. [Yep, 1 am.]


    “Noooo! Which man kidnapped you, my honey?! I’m crying alone in my toilet now.]


    Xu Jiaojiao looked at thements and smiled faintly.


    Her artstyle on Weibo was usually on the cuter side, so many of her fans liked to call her their wife.


    Xu Jiaojiao did not know how to reply right now, so she could only pretend that she did not see anything.


    She scrolled down thements section.


    Many fans were congratting her on her new rtionship, and some helpfulizens were even giving her advice.


    [Jiaojiao, y sweet with him! No man can resist girls who flirt and act cute.]


    When Xu Jiaojiao read thisment, she fell into deep thought.


    Would that work with Qi Shenbai?


    Xu Jiaojiao could not help but imagine that scene.


    If she acted cute, Qi Shenbai would probably look at her coldly and ask, “Are you possessed? Should I hire an exorcist?”


    [No, no, that won’t work.] Xu Jiaojiao quickly rejected this tactic.


    She continued scrolling through thements.


    Many people were discussing whether her boyfriend was handsome or not. The more she read, the wilder thements became. Some people even asked her if her boyfriend was good in bed.


    There were also a few haters who used her of showing off.


    A simple rtionship status update had gotten way out of hand. It was as if they had never seen any men before.


    Xu Jiaojiao fell silent.


    Why were some people so desperate to drag others down?


    She began to reply to thements one by one.


    [My boyfriend is very handsome. He can do it in any pose, and he can do it more than ten times a night. Sigh, it’s a bit of a headache, actually.]


    After replying, Xu Jiaojiao swiftly went offline.


    Take that, trolls.


    By then, Qi Shenbai hade out of the bathroom and was sitting on the sofa as he made a call.


    On the other end of the phone was Pei Yan. He had just returned home from work and had not even sat down when he received a call from his boss.


    Needless to say, he would have to work overtime again.


    “Drop the charges against Lu Huan,” Qi Shenbai said.


    Without waiting for Pei Yan’s reply, Qi Shenbai continued, “Let’s settle this out of court. Make her apologize and pay for psychological damages. Let thewyer decide the terms.”


    “Alright,” Pei Yan replied straightforwardly.


    He was a little surprised. Why would Qi Shenbai suddenly drop the charges? This was clearly not his style.


    Pei Yan had his doubts, but he did not ask further.


    How could he interfere with his boss’s decisions?


    Qi Shenbai hung up.


    He had also been thinking about Lu Huan’s case. Even if he won thewsuit, he could not put her in jail for such a small matter. In the end, she would just have to pay somepensation.


    Therefore, he chose to go with the flow so that Old Madam Xu would not be in a difficult position.


    Time passed in the blink of an eye.


    Soon, it was the end of the semester. After Xu Jiaojiao finished her exams, she was officially on her winter break.


    In order to celebrate, she went for hotpot with Su Luo.


    After that, Su Luo and her parents went on a trip abroad. Xu Jiaojiao chose to focus on her drawing in Qingshui Vi. She had received severalmissions a while ago, so she wanted to use the New Year to catch up.


    Before she knew it, snowkes began to fall outside the window.


    Xu Jiaojiao nced out of the window and her eyes lit up. She dropped the tablet in her hand and ran downstairs.


    She then pressed herself against the ss window and watched the snow fall. “It’s actually snowing! Thest time it snowed in Luo City was five years ago, right?”


    When the butler saw Xu Jiaojiao’s excited face, he was also happy.


    “Yes, it’s a white winter. That’s a good omen for the next year..”
