He Jing was speechless.
She thought, “What was wrong with him? Wasn’t the aesthetic standard of today’s society fair, slim, and youthful? He actually wanted to fatten me up?”
Yan Hanxi smiled at her speechless expression. He stared at her dry lips. “And you look thirsty.”
She was busy filming and studying, so she didn’t have time to take a sip of water.
He Jing touched her dry lips, realizing they were a bit parched. She quickly took out lip balm from her bag and applied it. Then, she picked up the yogurt and threw it into her bag. She said quickly, “Thanks.”
It was just a bottle of yogurt. There was no need to be pretentious and refuse.
Yan Hanxi felt refreshed and thought to himself, “I’ll buy a whole crate tomorrow and keep it under the table, ready to supply anytime.”
When the bus arrived at Goldfish Ridge, the sun had already set and the sky was getting dark.
He Sui handed out the pearl hairpin, only to be met with Cheng Yi’s disdain. At that time, there were many onlookers. She seemed to be so embarrassed that her face turned red. She took the pearl hairpin and left without even saying “thank you”.
If it was He Jing, she would be extremely calm. She would open the paper box that he had personally folded and put it on without changing her expression. Then, she would say, “Thank you, fourth brother.”
At the thought of this, the discomfort in his heart disappeared. It was fine as long as his biological sister didn’t despise him. What did it matter what others thought?
He Ning still seemed distracted.
He Jing had been paying attention to He Ning’s movements. He hadn’t said a word the entire way, and his melancholic mood from the heartbroken clearly hadn’t improved.
Suddenly, he stopped walking and looked up.
He Jing followed his gaze and saw a luxurious car parked by the side of the road. The headlights were bright, and a well-dressed middle-aged man was standing in front of the car with a big gift box in his arms.
The middle-aged man walked up to her and greeted her, “Miss.”
This voice immediately aroused He Suit s vigilance. He Sui rushed to He Jing and protected her firmly. He said with an unfriendly expression, “Don’t call me that. We don’t have any Miss here.”
He Ning frowned and scolded, “Fourth brother, be more polite.”
How could He Sui be polite? Their He family didn’t have rich relatives. This person was obviously sent by the Cheng family. Any association with the Cheng family wouldn’t lead to anything good.
The middle-aged man’s gaze bypassed He Sui and looked at He Jing behind him. He said gently, “Miss, Master misses you very much. These are all sent by Master.”
As he spoke, he opened the gift box in his hand and handed it over. Inside were expensive diamonds and jewelry.
The female supporting character in the original novel loved this kind of thing the most. There were a total of four pieces in the box, which added up to more than two million yuan.
He Ning’s expression changed. He noticed the hairpin in the box, also made of pearls.
Each pearl on the hairpin was round and full. Even in the dim light, it emitted a weak and crystalline luster, appearing very precious.
Compared to the one that He Sui had secretly taken out from his drawer and given to He Jing was like the difference between a beer bottle and jade. Apart from the similar color, everything else was inferior.
He Sui also noticed it. He subconsciously turned around to look at He Jing’s expression, afraid to see any hint of excitement on her face, as it would trigger a deep sense of inferiority in his heart.
However, He Jing showed none of it.
He Jing’s eyes were very calm. She stared at the glittering luxuries as if she were staring at a few roadside stones. Before he could start to worry, she had already said, “Tell Uncle Cheng that I miss him too, but I don’t need these things. Take them back..”
