Everyone here already knew that she was Xu Zhengyang’s sister, so she could not be bothered to hide anymore. She might as well not care what others were thinking and just focus on the food.
From time to time, Qi Shenbai would turn his head to look at the bickering siblings. His sharp brows were slightly furrowed. After Xu Zhengyang’s childish provocation, the corners of his mouth curled up into a fake smile. He turned back to continue the uninteresting performance on the stage.
As he watched the performance, though, Qi Shenbai was thinking about the song and dance that Xu Jiaojiao had performed for his birthday. Only then did his cold facial features begin to thaw.
The start of the lucky draw caused the atmosphere of the entire annual party to reach its climax. Everyone had been looking forward to this event for the entire night. If they could win the grand prize, that would be a perfect end to the year.
Tiantian’s stomach, which was originally feeling a little uncomfortable, recovered at the speed of light. When she came back, she clasped her fingers and kept muttering, “I want the 100,000 yuan cash prize, the 100,000 yuan crash prize…”
Xu Jiaojiao watched Tiantian’s actions and followed suit. “I want an iPad, I want an iPad…”
Xu Zhengyang, who was sitting at the side, saw this scene and sneered. “If you want one, just ask me to buy one for you. Why do you want him to give you one?”
Xu Jiaojiao glanced at him. “What do you know? Buying it yourself isn’t nearly as exciting as winning one in the lottery!”
“That’s right, that’s right,” Tiantian chimed in. “Manager Xu, you’re totally unromantic. You wouldn’t understand.”
Xu Zhengyang could not understand the girls’ excitement and chose to roll his eyes.
Qi Shenbai walked onto the stage and began to draw the prizes. In the beginning, there were some small prizes that were not especially generous, like shopping cards and lipsticks.
After those small prizes were drawn, it was time for the 100,000 yuan cash prize that everyone yearned for!
In the end, Pei Yan was the one who won the 100,000 yuan. He was stunned for a moment before rushing onto the stage. He hugged the thick stack of cash and laughed like an idiot. He looked like he wanted to hug Qi Shenbai tightly and kiss him again.
However, after Qi Shenbai glanced at him coldly, Pei Yan’s crazy thoughts instantly disappeared. Still, he was grinning from ear to ear.
Next, it was time to draw the iPad.
Xu Jiaojiao clasped her hands together and kept swaying back and forth. Her gaze was practically devout as she looked at Qi Shenbai, who was standing on the stage, hoping that he would be lucky enough to help her win.
Qi Shenbai glanced at the little girl in the crowd. A smile flashed across his calm eyes. He took out a number from the box and said, “Number 19.”
Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes, which had not held much hope, suddenly sparkled. She looked at the man standing on the stage, and her round eyes were big and bright. She lifted the hem of her dress and quickly walked onto the stage.
Tiantian had lost the 100,000 yuan, and now she watched as Xu Jiaojiao stood up from beside her to claim her dream iPad. Depressed, Tiantian downed the champagne in her hand in one gulp.
Qi Shenbai handed Xu Jiaojiao a brand-new iPad. Xu Jiaojiao’s voice was soft and sweet as she whispered, “Thank you.”
Qi Shenbai was silent. However, when he handed the iPad box to Xu Jiaojiao, his fingertips swept across the back of her hand. He did it slowly as if he could not bear to part with her.
Xu Jiaojiao noticed this and glared at him.
Only then did Qi Shenbai separate his hand from Xu Jiaojiao’s. He watched as Xu Jiaojiao ran down the stairs in her long dress and high heels, his brows slightly furrowed. If it were not for the fact that there were too many people here, he would have walked up to her and told her to walk slowly.
Why was she running? What if she fell?
Tiantian looked at the blinding sparks of love between her boss and Xu Jiaojiao. Her mouth was dry with envy. “1 lost the hundred thousand yuan, and 1 don’t have true love either. Sob…”
Xu Zhengyang glanced at her. “If you really want that 100,000 yuan so much, why don’t you just get together with Pei Yan? That way, you’ll have 100,000 yuan and love.”
Tiantian rolled her eyes. “Would 1 sell myself for 100,000 yuan? Besides, Pei Yan is the director of the internal affairs department. He’s basically the emperor’s eunuch! We’d be like a maid-and-eunuch romance.”
Pei Yan, who had just walked over, fell into a long silence when he heard that.
He had wanted to treat her to a meal, but now it seemed he would not have to bother!
Xu Jiaojiao jogged back, hugging the iPad that she had been longing for. She was extremely excited. “It’s actually the newest model! 1 feel so lucky!”
Just as Xu Jiaojiao finished speaking, Qi Shenbai’s deep and calm voice said, “Number 250.”
As soon as he said this, the entire scene fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, wondering who Number 250 was.
Everyone shook their heads when they met each other’s gaze..
