The black bag was very ordinary, crumpled upon unfolding, adding a cheap feel to it.
However, for Xiao Qimo, it was priceless.
âFor me?â he asked uncertainly.
Ye Jinwen paused his busyness, raised his eyebrows, and looked over as a qualified spectator with a child-like face burning with the spirit of gossip.
The sun must have risen from the west for Little Mianmian to take the initiative to give Brother Seven a gift? Tsk tsk tskâŚ
If gifts were being given, could marriage be far behind?
Mo Nie sat quietly on a round stool in the corner after closing the door. Upon hearing the conversation, he shifted his gaze from his phone, looking at Lu Mian with a blend of complexity and surprise.
Giving a gift to Mr. Mo?
This girl is quite bold.
Putting aside Mr. Moâs distant nature, just considering the Xiao Familyâs status as the foremost wealthy family, he wouldnât take such a thing seriously, let alone accept it.
He had seen such scenes many times before. In which instance didnât the girls run off with tears streaming down their faces, saddened? And those girls were much more prestigious than this high school student.
He could only say that this girl had set herself up for rejection by choosing Mr. Mo.
Lu Mian didnât notice them, casually sitting on the sofa, pulling in her lashes slightly, and softly hmmming in agreement.
Itâs not like she hadnât brought gifts for males before, but this time felt different somehow, as if she was responding to something, it was peculiar.
If she couldnât figure it out, then she wouldnât dwell on it.
She lifted the item in her hand again.
Xiao Qimoâs gaze had been fixed on her the whole time. His face was expressionless, but inside he felt a mix of surprise and delight. He didnât find the black bag odd; even if Lu Mian had presented him with a plastic bag, it still marked a significant step forward.
With a smile edging his lips, he naturally opened the bag.
He pulled out a tie.
And a scarf.
Lu Mian pursed her lips, explaining, âI had the scarf cleaned for you at the dry cleanerâs, thank you, itâs very warm.â
Xiao Qimo: ââŚâ
It didnât actually need to be washed!!
He tossed the scarf aside.
Then, examining the tie, he saw deep blue silk with fine golden threads weaving an exquisite pattern, accompanied by a gold tie clip studded with tiny diamonds.
Without a gift box, price tag, or even a simple bag, Xiao Qimo fingered the tie clip and meticulously savored the tieâs fine texture.
He was certain this was the gift Lu Mian had given him, and the thought deepened the curve of his smile.
He accepted it?
Mo Nie on the other side couldnât quite grasp Xiao Qimoâs emotions. He could sense when his master was happy or upset. Mr. Mo, initially so aloof, now seemed⌠happy?
It was just a tie, wasnât it? Such things, didnât he have as many as he could want?
And Mr. Moâs personal items were all high-end custom-made; this quality ofâŚ
It wasnât that he looked down on the tie, but given Mr. Moâs status, it just didnât seem fitting.
Yet Mr. Moâs current behavior was exceedingly abnormal.
As a keen onlooker, Ye Jinwen craned his neck to see what Xiao Qimo was holding, his eyes almost sticking to the tie.
He envied him inexplicablyâŚ
He could no longer experience that kind of heart-fluttering feeling anymore, nope.
Now, all he could be was a silent lemon.
âDid you buy this for me?â Xiao Qimo held it in his hand for a long time, his expression clearly spelling out âlike.â He was even more surprised that she had given him a gift, feeling a floating uncertainty till now.
But the remnants of his rationality warned him that this girlâs actions were never that simple.
Sure enough, as Xiao Qimo basked in the pleasure of receiving a gift, Lu Mian spoke lightly.
âMmm. Yuanyuan chose it, I paid for it.â
