Yan Nuo’s expression froze.

His heart tightened and he could not say another word.

When Qiao Jiusheng heard Ji Yinbing’s words, she was very moved. She was so envious of Yan Nuo. He was really lucky to be loved by Ji Yinbing.

When she was envious of Yan Nuo, she was also envious of herself.

Ji Yinbing tested herself for Yan Nuo. Fang Yusheng sacrificed his life for her, and she was also a lucky person. Qiao Jiusheng suddenly said to Fang Yusheng, “Yusheng, after some time, I want to give you a gift.”

“Huh? What is it?”

“It’s a secret for now.”

Qiao Jiusheng smiled mysteriously. The more she acted like this, the more curious Fang Yusheng was. “Then when can I receive your gift?”

Qiao Jiusheng said, “Next month.”

“Okay.”

…

After getting Xiao Li’s agreement, Ji Yinbing bent down and picked up Sherry, who had just woken up. The child lay in Ji Yinbing’s arms. Her fingers ran through Ji Yinbing’s hair, occasionally making sounds.

Seeing this, Xiao Li said, “She likes you.”

Ji Yinbing also liked children.

She rubbed her cheek against Sherry’s. The baby’s face was smooth and pink like an egg. The more she liked the child, the more lonely Ji Yinbing’s smile became.

“Yan Nuo, do you want to give her a hug?” Ji Yinbing hugged Xueli and asked the tall man beside her.

Xueli opened her light blue eyes and stared at Uncle Yan Nuo, who was at a higher altitude. Yan Nuo’s expression was as cold as ever, without a hint of life. However, Xueli stared at him for a long time before smiling.

This smile stunned Yan Nuo.

What was she laughing at?

Yan Nuo was puzzled.

Ji Yinbing burst out laughing and placed Xueli into Yan Nuo’s arms. Yan Nuo froze. He grabbed Xueli’s butt with his big palm and panicked. “This…” Yan Nuo wanted to return the child.

The adults took a few steps back in unison.

There was no one around Yan Nuo.

Yan Nuo glared at them and could only hug the little fellow tightly with a serious expression.

Xueli rubbed her head against Yan Nuo’s neck happily. Yan Nuo had only been so intimate with Ji Yinbing in his life. For a moment, he was so stiff that he did not dare to move.

Qiao Jiusheng, Ji Yinbing, and the rest stared at this funny scene and held in their laughter.

Zhuang Long walked over.

He snatched his daughter away from Yan Nuo’s arms and warned him, “This is my daughter. Don’t take advantage of her.”

Yan Nuo straightened his neck and replied, “She wanted to stick to me.”

Yan Nuo sounded a little aggrieved.

Zhuang Long snorted and scolded Yan Nuo, “You pig trotter, you should feel honored that my daughter is willing to get close to you. How dare you despise her!” His eyes shifted, and the playful smile on his face instantly faded, turning into a steady and calm expression.

“Let’s have lunch first. Everyone, stay at my house tonight. I have a surprise for everyone.” When he said the word surprise, Zhuang Long seemed to take a few more glances at Yan Nuo and Ji Yinbing.

However, everyone was staring at Yan Nuo and Xueli and did not notice.

They ate French food for lunch. After the meal, everyone else left, leaving only Qiao Jiusheng and the rest behind. Qiao Jiusheng accompanied Fang Taoran for an afternoon nap. Fang Yusheng, Yan Nuo, and Zhuang Long went to the private golf course under Xiao Li’s name for the entire afternoon.

When Qiao Jiusheng woke up, Fang Yusheng and the rest were not back yet.

Xiao Li had promised to pick Zhuang Qilin up from school today. She was not at home now and had gone to pick up the child.

Only Ji Yinbing was at home in the huge manor.

When Qiao Jiusheng found Ji Yinbing, Ji Yinbing was on a video call with Suzanne. Qiao Jiusheng walked into the camera and was discovered by Suzanne. Suzanne called her over to talk.

“Where are you?” Qiao Jiusheng looked at the view behind Suzanne. It looked like she was at the airport.

Suzanne said, “I’m in America. I’ll be at your place later.”

Suzanne naturally had to attend Zhuang Long’s precious daughter’s 100-day banquet.

“Just you?”

Suzanne turned the camera around and a woman with long legs, a thin waist, and a domineering aura appeared in her vision. It was Wei Xin. She was still high-profile today. She was wearing a black slim-fit blazer with a bright red dress. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail, and her aura was very strong.

On the other hand, Suzanne was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a light blue silk short shirt. These two people had completely different temperaments and personalities, but they could get along in life.

The relationships between people were really wonderful.

“Oh, there are reporters. I’ll hang up first.”

Perhaps Suzanne quickly hung up the video call because a reporter recognized Wei Xin.

The phone screen turned black. Ji Yinbing put away her phone and said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Wei Xin is wearing such a high-profile outfit. It’s hard not to be noticed.”

Upon hearing Ji Yinbing comment on her bad friend’s dressing style, Qiao Jiusheng said, “She has such a personality. She likes to be high-profile and attract attention. She doesn’t want to be mediocre.” Wei Xin was proud, and she had the ability to do so.

“I used to imagine what kind of person Suzanne would live with in the future. In my imagination, her lover was most likely a gentle man. In the end, reality hit me hard. She found a flamboyant and arrogant person, and she was a woman. It’s really…”

Ji Yinbing shook her head and laughed. She still remembered the shock and surprise when she heard from Suzanne that she was going to marry a woman. Those few days, Ji Yinbing felt that she was walking on stilts. It was unreal.

“To be honest, when I found out that Wei Xin had actually wooed Fang Yusheng’s good friend, I was especially afraid.”

Ji Yinbing looked surprised. “What were you afraid of?”

“I’m afraid that Wei Xin and Suzanne will part ways. Then it will be very difficult for me to be sandwiched between them.”

“Then you’re overthinking. I think they’re very close.”

“I wasn’t sure at that time.”

“That’s true.”

Thinking of something, Ji Yinbing suddenly held the blue necklace around her neck and said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Thank you for your gift. It’s very beautiful.” She really liked it and could not wait to put on the new necklace.

Qiao Jiusheng waved her hand and said, “I don’t have much at home, but many of these things. It’s nothing.”

“I remember that An likes to collect canes. He has many gemstone canes, and your family has a lot of jewelry and diamonds. The two of you are really generous.”

“But Fang Yusheng is a miser. He’s extremely stingy.” Anyway, Fang Yusheng was not here, so Qiao Jiusheng could criticize Fang Yusheng to her heart’s content.

Ji Yinbing smiled happily.

“An is like this. Although he’s stingy, he’s really sincere to us.”

“You’re his friends.”

Ji Yinbing nodded. Seeing that Fang Taoran was playing with the rattle, she took the rattle from Fang Taoran’s hand and teased her. “Ran Ran looks more like you.”
