The Reincarnated Goddess is Fierce

Chapter 435: I Came to Wait for You

Qiao Yanjue had just come to the garage and was about to go up when he saw Xia Xibei sneaking around.

He couldn’t help but be curious.

Moreover, what was she taking pictures of with her phone just now?

Faced with Qiao Yanjue’s question, Xia Xibei had a rare moment of hesitation.

What should she say? That she had come over to be a paparazzo? No way!

That would definitely involve a lot more questions later.

Thinking of this, she stuffed her phone into her pocket and flashed a big, sweet smile at Qiao Yanjue.

“I… I came over to wait for you!”

At those words, a surge of joy coursed through Qiao Yanjue’s heart.

She came to wait for him? What did this mean? Did she just get enlightened?

Fortunately, he still had sense and was not befuddled with joy.

He looked her up and down, then glanced owards the place where Gu Qiang and her boyfriend were standing just now.

“Really? You miss me that much?”

“Yes!” Xia Xibei’s heart skipped.
With an innocent expression, she took his hand and pulled him towards the elevator.
“I saw that you hadn’t come back yet, so I came down to wait for you.”

Qiao Yanjue looked at his arm, the corners of his mouth unconsciously twisting into a smile as he obediently followed her forward.

“How did you know when I was coming back?”

“I didn’t know, so I wanted to surprise you!” Xia Xibei blurted out without changing her expression.

Qiao Yanjue gave her a look with a smile in his eyes, but didn’t debunk her lie, nor did he tell her that when she was lying, her expression was different.

Every time she wanted to fool people, she had an innocent look and could bluff people into a daze.

But Qiao Yanjue had spent so much time with her, how could he not know her?

“Is that so? This is a surprise indeed.”

Qiao Yanjue accepted her “surprise” and “I miss you” without changing his face.

However, he didn’t let her off the hook.
“But why did you miss me so much today? What’s going on?”

Xia Xibei’s gaze couldn’t help but drift a little, “There’s nothing going on…”

“I don’t believe it.” He paused and grunted, “There must be something going on.”

This gave her a bit of a dilemma, as her eyes kept blinking.

Qiao Yanjue just looked at her, waiting for her to complete her lie.

“Um… Oh yeah! I won the jackpot today!”

Xia Xibei finally thought of a reason, looking revived.

The corners of Qiao Yanjue’s mouth looked smiley as he asked, “Oh? You won the jackpot? How big is it?”

She nodded repeatedly, “A big jackpot, more than a million!”

“More than a million? Did Old Jiang give it to you?”

Qiao Yanjue knew about Jiang Liran coming over today and Xia Xibei helping with the treatment.

However, Jiang Liran only gave about one million? Wasn’t that a bit low?

He knew that Jiang Liran had spent a lot of money on his health.
If Xia Xibei could help him fix his health, this much money was nothing to the Jiang family.

“No,” Xia Xibei shook her head.
“I won it when I bought clothes at the mall.
The spending amount was doubly refunded, so it added up to this much.”

“Such good luck?” Qiao Yanjue was also taken aback.

“Yeah!” Xia Xibei smiled.
“I’ve always had good luck!”

The bad luck from her previous life was in the past.
In this life, all her luck would be good!

All the bad luck was someone else’s—like Xia Qinghan and those people.

Qiao Yanjue was in a better mood, watching her smile brightly.

However, he changed the subject.

“So what were you recording just now?”

Could he skip this topic?
