Xu Jiaojiao nodded and looked out of the window. It was already dark. She turned to the butler and asked, "Is Qi Shenbai not back yet?"
It was already past nine o'clock.
"Work gets busy at the company at the end of the year. He should be back soon, though," the butler replied.
"Okay," Xu Jiaojiao said softly.
At the thought that Qi Shenbai would be back soon, her heart was filled with anticipation and uncontrollable joy.
Half an hour later, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Qi Shenbai walked in. There were a few snowflakes on his black coat and hair.
When Xu Jiaojiao saw Qi Shenbai return, she happily ran over to welcome him.
"You're back!"
When Qi Shenbai heard Xu Jiaojiao's voice, his fatigue from the entire day was swept clean away.
"Why are you so excited?"
"It's snowing outside, and now you're back," Xu Jiaojiao chirped.
