Yan Nuoâs expression froze.
His heart tightened and he could not say another word.
When Qiao Jiusheng heard Ji Yinbingâs words, she was very moved. She was so envious of Yan Nuo. He was really lucky to be loved by Ji Yinbing.
When she was envious of Yan Nuo, she was also envious of herself.
Ji Yinbing tested herself for Yan Nuo. Fang Yusheng sacrificed his life for her, and she was also a lucky person. Qiao Jiusheng suddenly said to Fang Yusheng, âYusheng, after some time, I want to give you a gift.â
âHuh? What is it?â
âItâs a secret for now.â
Qiao Jiusheng smiled mysteriously. The more she acted like this, the more curious Fang Yusheng was. âThen when can I receive your gift?â
Qiao Jiusheng said, âNext month.â
âOkay.â
â¦
After getting Xiao Liâs agreement, Ji Yinbing bent down and picked up Sherry, who had just woken up. The child lay in Ji Yinbingâs arms. Her fingers ran through Ji Yinbingâs hair, occasionally making sounds.
Seeing this, Xiao Li said, âShe likes you.â
Ji Yinbing also liked children.
She rubbed her cheek against Sherryâs. The babyâs face was smooth and pink like an egg. The more she liked the child, the more lonely Ji Yinbingâs smile became.
âYan Nuo, do you want to give her a hug?â Ji Yinbing hugged Xueli and asked the tall man beside her.
Xueli opened her light blue eyes and stared at Uncle Yan Nuo, who was at a higher altitude. Yan Nuoâs expression was as cold as ever, without a hint of life. However, Xueli stared at him for a long time before smiling.
This smile stunned Yan Nuo.
What was she laughing at?
Yan Nuo was puzzled.
Ji Yinbing burst out laughing and placed Xueli into Yan Nuoâs arms. Yan Nuo froze. He grabbed Xueliâs butt with his big palm and panicked. âThisâ¦â Yan Nuo wanted to return the child.
The adults took a few steps back in unison.
There was no one around Yan Nuo.
Yan Nuo glared at them and could only hug the little fellow tightly with a serious expression.
Xueli rubbed her head against Yan Nuoâs neck happily. Yan Nuo had only been so intimate with Ji Yinbing in his life. For a moment, he was so stiff that he did not dare to move.
Qiao Jiusheng, Ji Yinbing, and the rest stared at this funny scene and held in their laughter.
Zhuang Long walked over.
He snatched his daughter away from Yan Nuoâs arms and warned him, âThis is my daughter. Donât take advantage of her.â
Yan Nuo straightened his neck and replied, âShe wanted to stick to me.â
Yan Nuo sounded a little aggrieved.
Zhuang Long snorted and scolded Yan Nuo, âYou pig trotter, you should feel honored that my daughter is willing to get close to you. How dare you despise her!â His eyes shifted, and the playful smile on his face instantly faded, turning into a steady and calm expression.
âLetâs have lunch first. Everyone, stay at my house tonight. I have a surprise for everyone.â When he said the word surprise, Zhuang Long seemed to take a few more glances at Yan Nuo and Ji Yinbing.
However, everyone was staring at Yan Nuo and Xueli and did not notice.
They ate French food for lunch. After the meal, everyone else left, leaving only Qiao Jiusheng and the rest behind. Qiao Jiusheng accompanied Fang Taoran for an afternoon nap. Fang Yusheng, Yan Nuo, and Zhuang Long went to the private golf course under Xiao Liâs name for the entire afternoon.
When Qiao Jiusheng woke up, Fang Yusheng and the rest were not back yet.
Xiao Li had promised to pick Zhuang Qilin up from school today. She was not at home now and had gone to pick up the child.
Only Ji Yinbing was at home in the huge manor.
When Qiao Jiusheng found Ji Yinbing, Ji Yinbing was on a video call with Suzanne. Qiao Jiusheng walked into the camera and was discovered by Suzanne. Suzanne called her over to talk.
âWhere are you?â Qiao Jiusheng looked at the view behind Suzanne. It looked like she was at the airport.
Suzanne said, âIâm in America. Iâll be at your place later.â
Suzanne naturally had to attend Zhuang Longâs precious daughterâs 100-day banquet.
âJust you?â
Suzanne turned the camera around and a woman with long legs, a thin waist, and a domineering aura appeared in her vision. It was Wei Xin. She was still high-profile today. She was wearing a black slim-fit blazer with a bright red dress. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail, and her aura was very strong.
On the other hand, Suzanne was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a light blue silk short shirt. These two people had completely different temperaments and personalities, but they could get along in life.
The relationships between people were really wonderful.
âOh, there are reporters. Iâll hang up first.â
Perhaps Suzanne quickly hung up the video call because a reporter recognized Wei Xin.
The phone screen turned black. Ji Yinbing put away her phone and said to Qiao Jiusheng, âWei Xin is wearing such a high-profile outfit. Itâs hard not to be noticed.â
Upon hearing Ji Yinbing comment on her bad friendâs dressing style, Qiao Jiusheng said, âShe has such a personality. She likes to be high-profile and attract attention. She doesnât want to be mediocre.â Wei Xin was proud, and she had the ability to do so.
âI used to imagine what kind of person Suzanne would live with in the future. In my imagination, her lover was most likely a gentle man. In the end, reality hit me hard. She found a flamboyant and arrogant person, and she was a woman. Itâs reallyâ¦â
Ji Yinbing shook her head and laughed. She still remembered the shock and surprise when she heard from Suzanne that she was going to marry a woman. Those few days, Ji Yinbing felt that she was walking on stilts. It was unreal.
âTo be honest, when I found out that Wei Xin had actually wooed Fang Yushengâs good friend, I was especially afraid.â
Ji Yinbing looked surprised. âWhat were you afraid of?â
âIâm afraid that Wei Xin and Suzanne will part ways. Then it will be very difficult for me to be sandwiched between them.â
âThen youâre overthinking. I think theyâre very close.â
âI wasnât sure at that time.â
âThatâs true.â
Thinking of something, Ji Yinbing suddenly held the blue necklace around her neck and said to Qiao Jiusheng, âThank you for your gift. Itâs very beautiful.â She really liked it and could not wait to put on the new necklace.
Qiao Jiusheng waved her hand and said, âI donât have much at home, but many of these things. Itâs nothing.â
âI remember that An likes to collect canes. He has many gemstone canes, and your family has a lot of jewelry and diamonds. The two of you are really generous.â
âBut Fang Yusheng is a miser. Heâs extremely stingy.â Anyway, Fang Yusheng was not here, so Qiao Jiusheng could criticize Fang Yusheng to her heartâs content.
Ji Yinbing smiled happily.
âAn is like this. Although heâs stingy, heâs really sincere to us.â
âYouâre his friends.â
Ji Yinbing nodded. Seeing that Fang Taoran was playing with the rattle, she took the rattle from Fang Taoranâs hand and teased her. âRan Ran looks more like you.â
