Qiao Yanjue took Cui Tong back to the hotel first.
Before Cui Tong got out of the car, she glanced at Xia Xibei, then finally came up to her ear and whispered, “Be safe.”
Xia Xibei froze for a moment, then blushed and glared at her in shame.

What was she talking about?! The two of them had not yet reached that point, okay!
Although Qiao Yanjue saw the two whispering, he didn’t bother to eavesdrop, sitting in his seat like a gentleman instead.
After Cui Tong got off, the car continued driving and soon went to another hotel.
This was the Qiao family’s property, and the manager had already welcomed them, so naturally they didn’t need ID cards.
After the elevator went up to the upper floors, Qiao Yanjue took Xia Xibei to the presidential suite.
This suite had two bedrooms and one living room, all with luxurious decor, and the two of them could each sleep in one room.
Before entering the room, Qiao Yanjue joked, “Aren’t you afraid of what I’ll do to you?”
A girl following a man into a room meant something.
This was especially true for some men, who were quite lecherous. It was the equivalent of a girl offering herself.
Xia Xibei glanced at him.
“Huh?”
She would like him to do something, but would he dare?

Qiao Yanjue’s smile froze for a moment, then he shook his head breathlessly.
“Well, go inside.”
After opening the door, Xia Xibei did not care about the luxurious furnishings inside and said directly to Qiao Yanjue, “Your hand.”
“I told you, I am fine…”
The last words disappeared when he saw Xia Xibei’s unhappy eyes, and he could only meekly bring over his hand.
Xia Xibei touched his wrist, felt it for a moment, and then gave it a fierce shake, her pretty face showing anger.
“You haven’t had much rest these past few days!”
This was an affirmative sentence, not a question.
With her strength, of course, she could feel that he had not rested enough these few days.
In fact, without even taking his pulse, just by looking at his face, she could tell that he definitely hadn’t rested well these past few days.
Although Qiao Yanjue was still young, not enough rest was a big problem.
Being caught by Xia Xibei, Qiao Yanjue smiled bitterly and defended himself, “I’m really a bit busy these days-”
“So busy, and you still came to see me?” Xia Xibei was a little angry. She wasn’t unhappy to see Qiao Yanjue, but she didn’t like him tiring himself out like this.
When she spoke to Liu Manhong earlier, Liu Manhong had also said that Qiao Yanjue was so busy these days that he didn’t even have time to contact his parents, and his parents were a bit worried.
She understood when she saw Qiao Yanjue’s schedule these days.
He had come to see her for dinner several days before, and stayed for hours at a time.
Wasn’t it time that was squeezed out?
Then, his resting time would inevitably have to be compressed.
“I’m just a little busy these days. After it’s over, I will be fine-”
“You’re a grownup, can’t you arrange your own time properly?!”
Close up, under the bright light, Xia Xibei saw the dark shadows under Qiao Yanjue’s eyes, quickly becoming hurt and angry.
“I just wanted to come over and see you.”
Qiao Yanjue got anxious and blurted out.
After he said these words, his expression froze.
Xia Xibei’s eyes widened, her eardrums roared, and her heartbeat went out of rhythm.
“You…”
Qiao Yanjue’s heart jumped, his face changed, and he turned around with a start, saying sharply, “I’ll go in first and take a shower!”
Without waiting for Xia Xibei’s reaction, he quickly went in.
Xia Xibei didn’t know what to say.
What the hell?! Did he need to react like this?! As if she had done something to him?!
But, he really meant it… Right?!
Thinking of this, Xia Xibei did not move for a while.
