Even though Xia Yumo wasn’t an expert in jewelry, she knew it was very valuable.
She wanted to say it was too expensive and felt a bit embarrassed to take it.
However, if she didn’t take it, her birth mother would not feel comfortable either, so she reluctantly took it, promising to give sothing in return in the future.
"Thank you, Mom, this necklace is really beautiful."
Feeling like her words were a little empty and insincere, she jokingly looked at Gu Junhang and said:
"If only we had gotten married later, I could have worn this necklace from mom on our wedding day. I’m sure I would have dazzled."
Gu Junhang laughed and rubbed her head. "It’s my fault, I was too impatient."
This back and forth teasing made the atmosphere warm and intimate again.
Chu Peixian’s eyes brimd with tears of happiness. She knew her daughter wasn’t greedy, so she had initially thought Xia Yumo might refuse the necklace.
Now that she took it with such a natural tone, it showed her acceptance of her mother.
Peixian looked at her husband with sparkly eyes, like an innocent young girl full of vitality.
Qi Baiyan laughed too when he extended his hand and snatched the gift held by his son. He took out a redwood box. The redwood still gave off a primal wooden fragrance; rely its appearance was worth a fortune.
He laughed at Xia Yumo, looking like a perfect doting father.
Anyone would be surprised to know that this humorous middle-aged man, with a deanor of seeking approval, used to be a powerful figure.
"Momo, Dad couldn’t think of what to give you, so I’m giving this to your husband. You won’t be mad at , will you?"
"No, not at all. What’s mine is my husband’s, and vice versa,"
Xia Yumo responded playfully, glancing at Gu Junhang.
Gu Junhang hadn’t expected a gift for him, so he imdiately stood up and received it with both hands. "Thank you, Dad," he said sincerely.
He must now win the favor of his new father-in-law.
Qi Baiyan was very pleased to be called "Dad" and his smile grew even bigger.
After the two had given their gifts, Chu Peixian pushed Qi Xiao, and whispered:
"How about yours? As the eldest brother, do you have a gift for your little sister?"
Qi Xiao helplessly glanced at his parents. From the look in their eyes, he could tell they were very dissatisfied, but he could only sigh.
He could already see his future status at ho.
Thinking this, he took a thin red envelope from his suit pocket. It obviously didn’t contain much money.
Right before Chu Peixian could scold Qi Xiao, he spoke:
"I don’t know how to choose gifts for girls, so I put so Qi’s Real Estate Global Access Cards inside. Pick any properties you like."
Xia Yumo: "..."
Gu Junhang: "..."
Qi’s way of giving gifts was really straightforward.
Thinking this, Xia Yumo accepted it without any politeness, "Thank you, big brother. I won’t stand on ceremony."
"No need for that. In the future, just let know what you want, and I’ll make sure you get it," he said as his gaze shifted to Gu Junhang, and his gentle smile suddenly had an air of authority that only a big brother-in-law could have.
"If President Gu ever dares to mistreat you, tell , and I’ll break his legs for you."
