Chapter 301: Wanting to Give Her the Best (Part 1)
Compared to those born with a silver spoon in their mouth, the gifts from Qi Cheng and her friends were much more down-to-earth. Bai Bing and Bai Xue, the two sisters, gave Tang Yanqi a set of deluxe French literary classics. Although it’s just books, the price is already quite hefty for ordinary people.
Qi Cheng, on the other hand, gave her an orange-shaped keychain and mysteriously pulled Tang Yanqi aside, "Tangtang, don’t think this is worthless; it’s actually very useful."
Saying that, she showed the item in her hand to Tang Yanqi and somehow from the orange, a small knife popped out, "This is very sharp and can be used for self-defense. Hehe, how about it, practical, right? You are the Young Madam Sheng and the top target for kidnappers, so you must be careful."
Tang Yanqi: "..."
Isn’t it her birthday today? She already felt weary hearing someone wish her "as boundless as the East Sea and as enduring as the South Mountain," and now it’s an outright curse of her getting kidnapped?
Miss Tang rubbed her forehead, wondering what kinds of friends she had made.
Everyone’s gifts were given, and everyone besides Tang Yanqi looked in unison towards Sheng Jianan.
Gu Han sidled up to Sheng Jianan with a cheeky smile, "Hehe, big brother, what did you get for sister-in-law?"
As soon as he said this, even Tang Yanqi looked over. She wasn’t really curious, just reacting reflexively. After meeting Sheng Jianan’s gaze, she quickly looked away.
Don’t make it seem like she’s begging for a gift.
Gu Han noticed the small interactions between the two and wickedly remarked, "If you ask me, big brother doesn’t need to prepare anything, just wrap a bow around yourself and strip naked, hmm? Isn’t that right?"
The implication was that Sheng Jianan should just gift himself to Tang Yanqi.
Tang Yanqi blushed as laughter subtly erupted around her, and Sheng Jianan unceremoniously smacked Gu Han on the head with a "pop," "You rascal, got some experience?"
Gu Han, clutching his head, bounced off to the side, "No, no, hehe."
Sheng Jianan shot him a glance and, under everyone’s watchful eyes, took out a long rectangular velvet box from his pocket. The small black box was adorned with a burgundy bow, looking stylish, but it was just a jewelry box after all.
However, when Sheng Jianan opened the box, everyone was stunned.
Inside lay a diamond necklace with a nearly twenty-carat diamond in the center, fringed with tassels hanging sporadically around it, and on closer inspection, those tassels were also inlaid with numerous small diamonds.
The eight people, including Tang Yanqi, wore various degrees of shock on their faces, while Sheng Jianan calmly took the necklace out and casually helped Tang Yanqi put it on.
Qi Cheng was the first to exclaim, "Wow, what a big diamond."
Bai Bing and Bai Xue had the same reaction. These were diamonds they had only seen on TV. For an average family, even buying a one-carat diamond ring is impressive, let alone this...
The four men left exchanged bewildered glances; this was not just a big diamond.
Gu Han’s mouth gaped wide enough to fit an egg, Zhou Chengze was relatively more composed, while Xu Muyun and Mu Yunfan, despite their generally steady nature, couldn’t hide the shock in their eyes.
Sheng Jianan scrutinized the necklace on Tang Yanqi’s neck and felt satisfied. Indeed, his gift was the best.
