Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All-Chapter 441 - 440 I Really Like It

She never imagined that Peng Xiao would coincidentally come to Huaxia!

And today of all days!

Shi Liyun’s heart panicked as she whispered to Xue Mingqing, "Master, please tell Old Sir Jin to not invite Academician Peng... He’s managing thousands of affairs, how could he have the time to waste on such trivial matters?"

Xue Mingqing, basking in the praise and flattery from others in the Expert Group, was so full of pride that he hardly heard what Shi Liyun said. He simply replied, "Don’t worry, Academician Peng may be cold to irrelevant people, but he takes great care of those he’s interested in. Even if Old Sir Jin doesn’t invite him, he would still take the initiative to see you."

Shi Liyun bit her lip hard, wanting to say something, but at that moment, she didn’t know what to say and could only sit anxiously on the side.

-

Fu Family.

Fu Chengzhou, Second Aunt Fu, Fu Wen, and Xia Jinjin sat on the side, watching Chi Guihe, Granny Fu, and Mrs. Fu chat leisurely.

Second Aunt Fu curled her lips, "They still treat him like a treasure! In my opinion, the old master’s mind has rusted; he doesn’t know how to adapt, blind to such obvious circumstances. He deserves the outcome of no one attending his invitation!"

Fu Chengzhou scowled and reprimanded, "Shut up! How can you talk about dad like that?" freewёbnoνel.com

Second Aunt Fu retorted, "Am I wrong? If the old master had just cozied up to Academician Shi a bit, all the big shots wouldn’t be running to the Jin Family right now!"

"Mom!" Fu Wen called out impatiently.

Second Aunt Fu waved her hand dismissively, "Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking!"

Xia Jinjin remained silent, not saying a word from start to finish, but her cool eyes watched Chi Gui, with a flicker of hidden light at their depths.

The Chi Gui who once loomed over her like a mountain now seemed not so insurmountable. She just needed to make a bit more effort, and she could easily catch up.

The birthday banquet of the elite families had its own set of procedures. Chi Guiyi waited until everything was over before following into the back room where Fu Si had gone to rest.

At the moment, apart from Fu Si, there were only a few servants in the resting room.

Gifts from the guests piled up against an entire wall of the rest room, and just looking at the packaging, one could tell they were all exquisite and valuable.

Fu Si had already taken off his suit jacket, holding it in one hand, with his white shirt pristine, accentuating his slender build and narrow waist.

Chi Gui paused slightly.

Fu Si had already seen Chi Gui. His eyebrows lightly lifted as his long fingers picked up his glasses from the table and put them on, his deep voice containing a hint of a smile, "What, missing me?"

Chi Gui automatically ignored his words, fumbled in her pocket, and pulled out something wrapped in a small bag, handing it over, "Happy birthday."

Fu Si was taken aback.

He had not expected Chi Gui to have prepared a gift for him.

"What is it?" Fu Si asked, taking it and tearing open the bag with his jade-like fingertips, revealing a translucent green jade that tumbled out.

Fu Si instinctively caught it, but when he saw the jade, he was completely stunned.

It was a lifelike, hand-carved jade dragon!

Seeing Fu Si speechless for a long time, Chi Gui scratched her face with her index finger, "Ah... I remembered you were born in the year of the dragon... It’s been a long time since I’ve carved jade, so if it’s not nice, please don’t dislike it..."

Before she could finish, Fu Si suddenly turned his head to look at her, those usually playful phoenix eyes now devoid of any trace of flippancy, frighteningly serious.

Chi Gui: ?

But Fu Si said nothing, instead leaning in and enveloping her in a strong embrace.

Before Chi Gui could react, Fu Si dipped his head slightly, his lips close to her ear, his voice hoarse, "I like it very much... Chi Gui, thank you."
