The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

Chapter 479 - 443 Happy Birthday_3

Qiao Yuxian instinctively took it, then flipped through it, saying: "Twelfth Floor?!""Yes." Gu Yanjing responded blandly.

Qiao Yuxian flipped further back and said: "For me?!"

"Yes." Gu Yanjing’s voice remained flat.

Especially in contrast to the tone of Qiao Yuxian.

He was too calm, as if he were doing something ordinary.

Qiao Yuxian’s mind was in turmoil.

Gu Yanjing said: "Won it as a birthday present for you."

Qiao Yuxian’s lips were trembling.

All her life, she feared people throwing money at her.

Because it would put her in a weak position, likely leading to blindly following the other’s words.

"I..." Qiao Yuxian glanced at the document in her hand, then pointed around.

"Just keep it." Gu Yanjing said, "No one will come to challenge you, they’ll come to me."

The underlying message was that the Twelfth Floor belonged to her.

He’d handle any conflicts.

"I, I can’t..."

Before Qiao Yuxian could finish, Gu Yanjing said again: "Take it. It’s just a birthday gift."

Qiao Yuxian gradually came to her senses, looking at Gu Yanjing.

It was the first time she knew it could be played this way.

Luckily, this was in M Continent, not back home.

Otherwise, leaving so much gold here might not be feasible.

"Really for me?" Qiao Yuxian shook the document in her hand and said, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Gu Yanjing brushed the butterfly hair clip in her hair.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then I’ll accept it?"

"Yes."

Gu Yanjing pulled her inside.

Qiao Yuxian followed him, looking at the document in her hand.

Still a bit in disbelief.

The Twelfth Floor was hers.

She became the owner of the Twelfth Floor.

She could really make waves in M Continent now.

Her heart was filled with joy, as she followed Gu Yanjing to stop at the center of the round stage.

She looked at the petals underfoot, then raised her head to look at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing raised a hand to brush her temple and said: "When we got married, it was quite rushed. Later on, there wasn’t even a proper proposal ceremony."

Qiao Yuxian lifted her eyes to look at him, blinking.

Gu Yanjing bent down and kissed her eyes, saying: "Let’s make up for it with a ceremony."

"Hmm?" Qiao Yuxian was momentarily dazed.

Gu Yanjing retrieved a black box from his coat pocket.

He opened it to reveal two rings inside.

Qiao Yuxian looked at the rings inside.

The men’s ring was very simple.

The woman’s ring had a pink diamond the size of a pigeon egg on it.

Qiao Yuxian noted the quality.

It could easily buy a house in the Capital City.

She stared at the ring steadily.

Watching as Gu Yanjing took it out.

Watching as he closed the box and put it back in his pocket.

Watching as he held the ring in one hand and took her hand in the other.

Kneeling on one knee, he slid the ring onto her ring finger.

Each step was steady, each step was extremely solemn and reverent.

A hint of panic flashed across Qiao Yuxian’s dazed expression.

She only snapped back when the ring was fully on her finger.

She hurriedly went to support Gu Yanjing.

But Gu Yanjing didn’t move.

He looked at her hand, as if admiring it, before looking up at her.

Qiao Yuxian looked down at him with a flustered expression.

Gu Yanjing was handsome, perfect from every angle.

Phoenix eyes held a hint of coldness.

Always so calm, always so in control. Always making people feel secure.

Even kneeling on one knee, his aura was palpable.

"Stand up." Qiao Yuxian pulled his arm to help him up.

In her mind, Gu Yanjing was a clean and proud iceberg.

He’s at the top.

The favored one of the heavens.

He should be admired.

Qiao Yuxian liked him, placed him in a very important position in her heart.

Even though such a proposal ceremony was something she was not accustomed to, she was a little reluctant.

Gu Yanjing glanced at her, then lowered his eyes, kissing her finger.

Qiao Yuxian’s fingers curled slightly, her ears felt warm.

Gu Yanjing stood up, holding the back of her neck, pulling her forward to kiss her lips.

Qiao Yuxian pressed her lips together, glancing at the smile in his eyes, pausing before saying: "So when you said to change rings, this is what you meant?"

"Yes." Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian was quiet for a while before adding: "It didn’t need to be this formal. We’re already married."

"We can’t skip what should be done." Gu Yanjing caressed her face.

Qiao Yuxian looked up at him, her eyes slightly misty. She softly called, "Gu Yanjing."

"Yes." Gu Yanjing looked at her reddened eyes and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Qiao Yuxian stepped forward, her head resting on his shoulder, calming herself and saying: "I’m a bit moved. You’re too good to me."

Gu Yanjing patted her head.

Qiao Yuxian stayed in his embrace for a while longer, whispering: "Will there be this much money every birthday from now on?"

Gu Yanjing patted her head and said: "That depends on whether you take away my salary card."

Qiao Yuxian laughed.

"If I rely on you for pocket money, it might be a bit tough." Gu Yanjing’s voice was calm, with a hint of coldness.

"Poor Mr. Gu." Qiao Yuxian said.

Mr. Gu chuckled slightly, patting her head, thinking: Not poor, with you here, I’ll never be poor.
