Chapter 506: Chapter 509: Wedding Gift_1
"You all need to understand that you were the ones who bumped into someone. It’s one thing not to apologize, but to actually have the audacity to complain first is disgusting. I think you are not only blind in eyes but also in heart!" Sun Erhu said, annoyed.
Originally, the matter of buying betrothal gifts was supposed to be a joyful occasion, but unexpectedly, they ran into this lunatic.
How vexing!
Before Sun Erhu could finish speaking, another person, a handsome gentleman, walked out. He had a fairly good relationship with Qiao Duo’er; he was Bai Yifan.
According to the timetable, he should have already completed a month of seclusion.
Having not seen him for over a month, Bai Yifan looked even more refined and otherworldly.
"Mo’er, stop making trouble. This is Duo’er, my sister, and the other is Erhu, my friend,"
Bai Yifan introduced calmly.
However, his gaze lingered on Qiao Duo’er, seemingly unintentional yet continuous.
In the eyes of Li Mu’er, this was tantamount to flirting.
She wasn’t a fool—she didn’t believe for a second that ’sister’ nonsense!
Li Mu’er sized up Qiao Duo’er and said perfunctorily, "I’m sorry, is that good enough? Cousin, I still need to go buy some perfume powder, let’s go quickly!"
"You go ahead and wait in the carriage, I will come to find you in a moment,"
Obviously, Li Mu’er was extremely unwilling. Bai Yifan was already interested in that woman; how could she not stay and keep an eye on things?
She had begged Bai Yifan for a long time to accompany her out. Before leaving, she promised to obey him.
Therefore, Li Mu’er dared not act recklessly; she definitely didn’t want to be sent back by Bai Yifan.
Stomping her feet, Li Mu’er could only leave first with her maid.
After all, with the bustle of the cloth shop, they couldn’t possibly do anything too outrageous.
"Duo’er, sorry about that. That’s my cousin; she’s been coddled since she was young. Don’t mind her," Bai Yifan apologized sincerely.
Qiao Duo’er smiled faintly, "She seems like a rather adorable girl."
The words, insincere yet polite, made Bai Yifan’s heart even more lucid.
Duo’er belonged to someone else; he should not harbor any improper thoughts.
Sun Erhu couldn’t help but remind, "Young Master Bai, you should hurry over there, don’t keep the lady waiting for too long."
His anger came not only from the recent incident but also because his intuition told him Bai Yifan harbored improper feelings for his sister-in-law.
Since he asked his sister-in-law for help in shopping, he had to bring her back safely.
Bai Yifan nodded and completely ignored Sun Erhu.
He thought that time would help him forget Qiao Duo’er, but in reality, the longer he was away from White Stone Town, the more intense his yearning became; at this moment, he simply wanted to gaze at her a little longer.
"This is your gift."
Bai Yifan took out a redwood box from Bai Qing’s basket.
Originally, he had wanted to ask his sister-in-law to deliver it, but now that he had encountered her, not presenting it would seem pretentious.
Immediately, Qiao Duo’er shook her head; she couldn’t promise anything to Bai Yifan, hence she could not give him any hope.
Bai Yifan smiled lightly, saying, "I missed your wedding, so this is my wedding gift to you. It would be rude of you to refuse it after calling me ’Brother Bai San.’"
He spoke frankly; if Qiao Duo’er were to insist on refusing, it would seem as though she had some ulterior motive.
So, she bit her lip and accepted the redwood box.
The box was made of fine materials and exquisite craftsmanship; even just the box itself was quite valuable.
Although she was mentally prepared, when she opened it, Qiao Duo’er was still shocked; inside the box were Lingzhi mushrooms and a Warm Jade Pendant!
The size of the Lingzhi mushroom was as big as a bowl, rare to find, and the Warm Jade’s quality was crystalline, without the slightest impurity, indeed priceless.
How could she deserve such lavish gifts?
