Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Qiaoqiao’s Birthday 1

Scrambling out of his embrace, Ning Xixi glared at him with annoyance: "Who threw themselves into your arms! Although there are countless girls chasing after you, do you think I am that superficial?"

Ji Yebai touched his chin and countered: "Aren’t you? What do you like about Gong Xiu then? If Gong Xiu were a short, pimple-faced, bald guy, would you still like him?"

Boom —

Ning Xixi imagined Gong Xiu with that appearance and was completely dumbfounded.

"Shut up!" Wuuwuuwuu Ji Yebai is so venomous with his words! He can shatter a girl’s heart in an instant!

"Can’t even handle a bit of criticism on your taste..." Ji Yebai sneered and pretended to casually stroke his chin: "So yeah, when you like someone, it should also be someone with depth, substance, intelligence, and good looks..."

"You make a lot of sense!"

"Right?" Ji Yebai’s lips curled up, about to bamboozle her further when Ning Xixi cheerfully said: "I think Brother Yemo fits the criteria you mentioned perfectly. When I get back, I’m going to discuss with Auntie about switching our engagement to him, (*^__^*) hehe..."

Ji Yebai: ...!!!

His forehead vein popping, he gripped Ning Xixi’s wrist, "Stop daydreaming! My brother wouldn’t spare a glance at a silly girl like you!"

"You’re the silly one!" Ning Xixi stomped her feet in anger, "During the New Year, I’m going to tattle on you to Brother Yemo!"

Ji Yemo, Ji Yebai’s older brother, is a successful and unapproachable figure, handsome and resolute. In Ying City, he commands respect and fear from many.

The two of them bickered all the way back to the villa district. Ning Xixi wanted to go back to her own home, but Ji Yebai dragged her towards the Ji Family’s place instead.

"Hey, hey, I want to go home!" Ning Xixi threw a little tantrum.

"Keep up the fuss, and see if I don’t just carry you in?" Ji Yebai first threatened, then offered a sweetener, "Tonight, my mom is cooking personally, making sweet and sour fish..."

Gulp —

Ning Xixi swallowed her saliva.

Ji’s mom was a great cook, and she especially loved fish...

"Also, lately Miaomiao has been pestering me to do her hair in some bun style, and me being a guy, how would I know how to do that?" Ji Yebai sighed, making Ning Xixi feel like the Ji Family really needed her.

Sure enough, Ning Xixi wavered, her eyes flickering: "Miaomiao is growing up, loving to look pretty is a girl’s nature~"

"Then come in and help her out."

"Alright, alright..."

Ning Xixi, easily coaxed into the Ji Family house by someone’s few words, was utterly oblivious to the fact that the seemingly innocent and harmless man next to her, was in fact wagging his scheming and delighted tail behind him~

...

Ji’s mom was thrilled to see Ning Xixi agree to come over, "Xixi, just wait a bit more, the food will be ready soon."

"Mhm..." Ning Xixi bashfully looked down at her toes, then suddenly recalled something and hurried upstairs.

She rummaged through her nightstand and pulled out a beautifully packaged box, opened it, and inside was a scarf.

It was bought during a shopping trip with Ji Yebai a while ago; she planned to give it to Qiaoqiao as a birthday gift.

Tomorrow is Qiaoqiao’s birthday! She almost forgot to give the present!

Outside the door, Ji Yebai, about to return to his own room, inadvertently caught sight of the scarf in her hands, his gaze immediately softening.

Christmas is right around the corner; surely, this must be a gift prepared for him.

Now, when this girl gives him the scarf, should he accept it or not~

Ouch~ Maybe he should just accept it reluctantly~ Hmmph~
