Chapter 58 -58: Why fixate on one when there are flowers everywhere?
Inside the inconspicuous cardboard box, there were several sets of jewelry.
Even if they were fake, you wouldn’t dare make the gems that big.
The diamonds inlaid on them were especially dazzling under the night sky.
Bai Yurou refused to believe it; she opened another box next to it containing various precious medicinal herbs, like ginseng, He Shou Wu…
Bai Yurou took a deep breath, still skeptical, and went on to open another box.
“What are you doing?”
Nan Qiao’s voice resounded from behind, startling Bai Yurou.
She turned around, forcing a smile, “I was just checking to see if anything inside was damaged.”
Mrs.
Fang stood dumbly to the side, overwhelmed by the contents of the box, now at a loss for words.
Nan Qiao walked over step by step; she had changed out of her haute couture into a short-sleeve shirt and capris.
Her legs were thin, white, and long, her slender waist almost too delicate to grasp, making it impossible to divert one’s gaze.
Bai Yurou cursed inwardly: Seductress!
Nan Qiao, with a calm demeanor, nonchalantly said, “I would appreciate it if you didn’t bother yourself with my belongings.”
Bai Yurou’s expression froze, unable to manage her face.
“Sister, what do you mean by that?” Bai Yurou asked, puzzled.
Was she indicating not to touch the cardboard boxes, or not to interfere with Li Yehan?
“Exactly what it sounds like.”
Nan Qiao’s formidable presence made one involuntarily shudder; she approached the bodyguard and said, “Be careful with the move, don’t damage what’s inside.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Nan Qiao then said to Uncle Wang who had accompanied her, “Uncle Wang, could you help me check the contents?”
“Don’t worry, Miss.
I’ll organize these gifts into a list and sort it into a document on your phone as soon as I get back.”
Nan Qiao raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised, “Uncle Wang, you know how to do the electronic version?”
“Miss, even we servants must keep up with the times to avoid being phased out.”
Nan Qiao nodded in understanding.
“Keep up the good work, Uncle Wang.”
“Thank you, Miss.
I will do my best.”
Nan Qiao left with a smile, trusting Uncle Wang with the matter.
Uncle Wang directed on site, handling everything efficiently.
Passing by Mrs.
Fang, Uncle Wang said, “Old Fang, the kitchen’s busy and you’re wandering here, believe it or not, I’ll have the master fire you.”
Mrs.
Fang’s face turned red, and she scampered away with her tail between her legs.
Seeing Bai Yurou’s gloomy face, Uncle Wang curiously asked, “Miss, do you also have gifts that need moving?”
Bai Yurou: …
She remained silent, causing Uncle Wang to exclaim, “What’s the matter, too many items?
Worried about not enough hands?”
Bai Yurou: !!
Uncle Wang asked again, “Tell me, how many gifts are there?
I’ll find people right now and make sure all your gifts are moved into your room!”
Bai Yurou, clenching her back teeth, smiled very reluctantly, “Uncle Wang, you seem hot; maybe find a cooler place to go.”
Bai Yurou walked away fuming.
Uncle Wang, rubbing his large scalp, looked puzzled, “What does that mean?
Was she caring for me or mocking me?
What did I say wrong?”
Uncle Wang touched his shiny head, still unable to figure it out.
…
As Bai Yurou walked in from outside, she saw Li Yehan and the family chattering amiably, especially Grandpa Bai, whose eyes were full of praise when looking at Li Yehan.
Bai Yurou took the opportunity to sit down, wanting to listen in on the conversation.
Old Mr.
Li said, “Qiaoqiao, we’re hosting a gathering at home tomorrow.
I’ll have a shopper buy you some clothes and bags in your size.”
“Grandpa Li, you’re too kind.
I already have too many clothes; really, there’s no need to buy more.”
Even if she wore a different outfit each day, she would still have leftovers by the end of summer.
Any more purchases would just have to wait until next year.
Old Mr.
Li pondered for a moment before speaking, “I heard you like paintings by Master Shan Shui?
I’ll buy you a few more then.”
Nan Qiao: …
“Grandpa Li, really, there’s no need.”
As soon as Old Mr.
Li placed an order on one end, she felt obligated to paint on the other—please, give her a break.
Bai Jingrui, worried that Grandpa Li might take over the gift-giving, hurriedly said, “Grandpa Li, my sister likes the paintings I buy for her.
If you take this over, what will I do?
It’s really tough for me.”
Old Mr.
Li chuckled, “Jingrui, my boy, I won’t take your task.
Is that okay?”
“Thank you, Grandpa Li, you’re really great.”
The joyful family atmosphere upset Bai Yurou.
Just then, Old Mr.
Li’s gaze landed on Bai Yurou, “Yurou, you’re not getting any younger.
Didn’t you find love at school?
Should I introduce someone to you?”
Hearing this, Bai Yurou wondered if Grandpa Li was planning to introduce her to Li Yehan?
Blushing, Bai Yurou said, “Grandpa Li, I…
I already have someone I like…”
Old Mr.
Li was slightly surprised but then smiled and said, “Good for you, Yurou, when you find someone you like, you should pursue them boldly.
Just like Ye Han, he likes Qiaoqiao, and he’s actively pursuing her!”
Li Yehan: “I will try my best.”
Bai Yurou: …
Damn it, after all this time, was this old man tricking her?
Bai Yurou’s expression turned sour, she was angry and wanted to curse!
Yet it seemed as though Old Mr.
Li couldn’t read her expression and continued, “Yurou, you look upset.
Is it that the man is ignoring you?
Oh, let me tell you, the world is vast and full of opportunities, why fixate on only one?”
Bai Yurou: !!
She really didn’t want to hear Old Mr.
Li speak anymore.
She felt that today’s situation was orchestrated by Old Mr.
Li to tease her in front of everyone.
He prompted her to admit her feelings for someone and then mentioned Li Yehan pursuing Nan Qiao.
In the end, the old man was just too cunning!
Bai Yurou had a headache and didn’t want to stay or say another word.
Old Mr.
Li knew when to stop and took the lead, “It’s getting late, we should head back.”
Li Yehan stood up with Old Mr.
Li.
Before leaving, Li Yehan asked Nan Qiao, “What would you like to eat tomorrow at noon?”
Feeling everyone’s eyes on her, Nan Qiao bashfully replied, “You should head back.”
Li Yehan smiled, nodded, and left with Old Mr.
Li.
…
Old Mr.
Li and Li Yehan were in the same car.
Old Mr.
Li proudly said, “Ye Han, did you see?
I’ve cleared the obstacles for you, now when you’re with Qiaoqiao, you won’t have to worry too much.”
Li Yehan: “Thank you, Grandpa.”
Old Mr.
Li was visibly pleased and advised further, “You have to put in more effort, hurry and win Qiaoqiao over. freewebnσvel.cøm
Such a good granddaughter-in-law like Qiaoqiao shouldn’t be missed.”
Li Yehan nodded, “I know.”
Li Yehan’s phone lit up, a message from Secretary Zhao.
Li Yehan opened it, and though it contained only a sentence, it made Li Yehan tense up.
“Mr.
Li, regarding Miss Nan Qiao…”
