Mu Jinghang was about to speak when Jun Yexuan gave him a look of warning. He changed what he was about to say, “It represents my third brother’s honest heart. Qingqing, don’t treat it as any other accessory and lose it.”
Qiao Qing’s hand that played with the pendant shook a little. Something felt unsettling about this.
Just as she was about to take it off, Mu Jinghang stopped her, “Qingqing, third bro gave it to you, so wear it. If you take it off because of me, third bro will slaughter me.”
Qiao Qing sighed when she heard this and her chest suddenly felt heavy.
After Qiao Qing and He Wanqing left, Mu Jinghang walked to Jun Yexuan. With a serious expression, he asked, “Third bro, you aren’t married yet and you gave that out? Do you even know what the ring represents?”
Jun Yexuan lied down onto the bed and indulged himself with the scent that belonged to that special girl, “It’s something from my house. Wouldn’t I know better than you?”
“Then you give it away casually like that? What if you don’t end up…”
Jun Yexuan glared at him with a razor-sharp gaze, “There are no what if’s. She can only be mine!”

The granddaughters of the Qiao clan were turning into adults. Everyone who received an invitation had left their homes and were headed to the Qiao family.
At the same time.
At the Luo manor.
Luo Chen tried on one shirt after another – not satisfied with any of them.
“Brother, which one do you think I look good in?”
Luo Hangqian put down his laptop and turned around to look, “You look good in everything.”
Luo Chen rolled his eyes, “You can’t do me like that. Am I your brother or not?”
Luo Hangqian laughed, “Real friends only care if you’re there. They don’t care what you wear.”
“Ah, whatever, I’m going to ask dad.”
Luo Hangqian raised his wrist to show his watch, “It’s almost time. It’s worse if you’re late.”
“Ah?” Luo Chen looked at the suit he was wearing, “Whatever. This one will do.”
Then, he turned around to get Qiao Qing’s gift.
When he grabbed the box, he paused and grunted.
Luo Hangqian asked, “What happened?”
“One of the gifts I prepared is missing. Maybe I left it at the mall.”
Luo Hangqian stood up, “What is it? Is it important?”
“Of course! There’s something I really want to give to her!”
“Then I…”
“Hangqian, Chen, it’s time to go.” Tao Yi held onto her purse and walked over.
Luo Chen said, “Mom, you and brother go first. I need to go get something.”
Luo Hangqian said, “I’ll go with you.”
Luo Chen, “It’s okay. You go first. Don’t be late. There’s going to be traffic at this time. It’s faster if I go by skateboard. I know where I bought it and I know where Qiao Qing lives. Brother, just take these and give these to Qingqing for me for now.”
He then placed the gift boxes onto Luo Hangqian’s hands.
Luo Hangqian nodded, “Be careful.”
Luo Chen took his skateboard and acknowledged, “I know.”
Tao Yi watched as Luo Chen walked away, “I’ve never seen him like a girl so much. What a pity.”
Luo Hangqian responded, “It’s not a pity. Even if she does like Luo Chen, it’s very hard for her to get together with him.”
“That’s true. Ignoring the other side, this side here we have third young master Jun and Feng Heng. They are both people with much power and influence.” Tao Yi sighed, “Let’s go.”

Outside the Qiao manor, cars were parked one after another.
As time went on, almost all the guests arrived. The maids who were responsible for greeting the guest had mostly left to help prepare for the next event at the party.
When there was basically nobody left at the gate, a white, limited-edition Bugatti drove over and parked on the side.
