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

“Where did you get it?” Tao Yuxuan couldn’t help but ask.

An expensive item like the Jade Heart wasn’t something that could be bought casually.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that there was a price but no market.

“Naturally, it’s a transaction.” Ning Yu pursed her lips, her eyes already showing some impatience.

“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.”

Ning Yu heard Shi Xi’s words and looked away. “It’s good that you like it.”

Shi Xi handed the first piece of cake to Ning Yu. “Eat the cake.”

Shi Xi cut the first piece of cake and the rest was more casual.

Tao 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!”

Leng Qiankun took the cake and said thoughtfully, “What do you want to do?”

“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.

After Shi Xi put on the jade gourd, she pulled Ning Yu and said, “I’ve also prepared a gift for you!”

Ning Yu looked up, and her usually calm eyes were filled with surprise. “Huh?”

Shi Xi was not as casual as Ning Yu, so she put the gift in the gift bag.

“Open it!” Shi Xi handed over a gift bag with gorgeous packaging.

Ning Yu was slightly stunned, and she took out an ancient box from the gift bag.

She opened it.

The jade bracelet with a sparkling light was lying quietly in the box. Wherever the light went, there seemed to be ripples of water flowing.

“I didn’t expect that we had a telepathic connection. We gave each other jade!” Shi Xi’s eyes curved. “Try it on!”

Ning Yu picked up the jade bracelet and put it on her wrist.

The person next to the jade bracelet was like the moon, and her wrist was covered with frost and snow.

Ning Yu was originally a cold-skinned woman. After putting on the sparkling jade bracelet, her skin looked even fairer and her wrist was slender.

“Thank you.” Ning Yu smiled slightly.

“What are you doing here?” Sheng Yan found it strange when he saw Shi Xi and Ning Yu together.

He had heard that these two people were incompatible with each other and would fight each time they met.

How could it be wrong with the rumors?

“What are you doing here?” Shi Xi asked back.

“I’m giving you gifts!” Sheng Yan stared back confidently and handed over two identical gift bags.

Shi Xi did not take them and said expressionlessly, “You didn’t give us the same thing, did you?”

Sheng Yan replied, “No.”

Shi Xi took it suspiciously, one for her and one for Ning Yu.

“Thank you.”

“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.

“Wait.” Shi Xi called out to Sheng Yan.

Sheng Yan asked, “What’s wrong?”

“You…” Shi Xi looked at Ning Yu beside him, feeling conflicted.

Male lead friend, you should stay a little longer, right?

Otherwise, who would stand up for Ning Yu later!

But if the female lead were to slap her in the face, she would be slapped in the face!

Shi Xi felt conflicted in her heart.

Sheng 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.”

Shi Xi heaved a sigh of relief. “Go on, go on.”

Ning Yu only thanked him and did not pay much attention to Sheng Yan the entire time.

“Wait, let’s see what’s in the gift bag first.” Shi Xi felt that something was not right.

They were clearly two identical gift bags. How could Sheng Yan differentiate them?

Could it be that he had x-ray vision?

Ning Yu took out the box from her gift bag and opened it.

Shi Xi took it out at the same time and opened the box.

It was the same pendant.

But the color was different.
