Chapter 83 - Of Course I Won’t Give You the Same Thing!

n“Where did you get it?” Tao Yuxuan couldn’t help but ask.
n
nAn expensive item like the Jade Heart wasn’t something that could be bought casually.
n
nIt wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that there was a price but no market.
n
n“Naturally, it’s a transaction.” Ning Yu pursed her lips, her eyes already showing some impatience.
n
n“Alright, stop asking.” Shi Xi took back the jade gourd from Tao Yuxuan’s hand and smiled at Ning Yu. “Thank you, I like it very much.”
n
nNing Yu heard Shi Xi’s words and looked away. “It’s good that you like it.”
n
nShi Xi handed the first piece of cake to Ning Yu. “Eat the cake.”
n
nShi Xi cut the first piece of cake and the rest was more casual.
n
nTao Yuxuan cut the cake at the side and said in a low voice, “What’s there to be arrogant about? Isn’t it just a Jade Heart? Isn’t it still spending the Shi family’s money? Hmph!”
n
nLeng Qiankun took the cake and said thoughtfully, “What do you want to do?”
n
n“Of course I want to make a fool out of her!” Tao Yuxuan handed the task of cutting the cake to someone else. With a calculating glint in her eyes, she pulled Leng Qiankun and whispered to him.
n
nAfter Shi Xi put on the jade gourd, she pulled Ning Yu and said, “I’ve also prepared a gift for you!”
n
nNing Yu looked up, and her usually calm eyes were filled with surprise. “Huh?”
n
nShi Xi was not as casual as Ning Yu, so she put the gift in the gift bag.
n
n“Open it!” Shi Xi handed over a gift bag with gorgeous packaging.
n
nNing Yu was slightly stunned, and she took out an ancient box from the gift bag.
n
nShe opened it.
n
nThe jade bracelet with a sparkling light was lying quietly in the box. Wherever the light went, there seemed to be ripples of water flowing.
n
n“I didn’t expect that we had a telepathic connection. We gave each other jade!” Shi Xi’s eyes curved. “Try it on!”
n
nNing Yu picked up the jade bracelet and put it on her wrist.
n
nThe person next to the jade bracelet was like the moon, and her wrist was covered with frost and snow.
n
nNing Yu was originally a cold-skinned woman. After putting on the sparkling jade bracelet, her skin looked even fairer and her wrist was slender.
n
n“Thank you.” Ning Yu smiled slightly.
n
n“What are you doing here?” Sheng Yan found it strange when he saw Shi Xi and Ning Yu together.
n
nHe had heard that these two people were incompatible with each other and would fight each time they met.
n
nHow could it be wrong with the rumors?
n
n“What are you doing here?” Shi Xi asked back.
n
n“I’m giving you gifts!” Sheng Yan stared back confidently and handed over two identical gift bags.
n
nShi Xi did not take them and said expressionlessly, “You didn’t give us the same thing, did you?”
n
nSheng Yan replied, “No.”
n
nShi Xi took it suspiciously, one for her and one for Ning Yu.
n
n“Thank you.”
n
n“The gift has arrived. I’ll be leaving first.” Sheng Yan had completed the task his mother had given him, so he did not want to stay any longer.
n
n“Wait.” Shi Xi called out to Sheng Yan.
n
nSheng Yan asked, “What’s wrong?”
n
n“You…” Shi Xi looked at Ning Yu beside him, feeling conflicted.
n
nMale lead friend, you should stay a little longer, right?
n
nOtherwise, who would stand up for Ning Yu later!
n
nBut if the female lead were to slap her in the face, she would be slapped in the face!
n
nShi Xi felt conflicted in her heart.
n
nSheng Yan could see that she was in a difficult position and thought that she did not want him to leave on his own (he was right). He said, “I’ll go and chat with Big Brother Shi for a while.”
n
nShi Xi heaved a sigh of relief. “Go on, go on.”
n
nNing Yu only thanked him and did not pay much attention to Sheng Yan the entire time.
n
n“Wait, let’s see what’s in the gift bag first.” Shi Xi felt that something was not right.
n
nThey were clearly two identical gift bags. How could Sheng Yan differentiate them?
n
nCould it be that he had x-ray vision?
n
nNing Yu took out the box from her gift bag and opened it.
n
nShi Xi took it out at the same time and opened the box.
n
nIt was the same pendant.
n
nBut the color was different.
