Chapter 168: Gift
Like many parents, Xie Yuhuan did not fancy Feng Qing and had always disagreed with her marriage with Xie Jiuhan. However, Xie Jiuhan was persistent on this matter, so as his aunt, it was not appropriate for her to say anything. In order to take care of Xie Jiuhan’s face, she maintained an unfamiliar and polite relationship with Feng Qing.
“Ninth Master, it’s been so long since we last met, but you’re still so handsome.” Suddenly, a delicate female voice sounded. Another woman walked into the villa, holding a large bouquet of flowers.
Xie Jiuhan’s expression froze. He had obviously recognized who the woman was. However, he did not turn around. Instead, he asked Xie Yuhuan, “Aunt, why didn’t you inform me that you came back early?”
This time, Xie Yuhuan went abroad not for a holiday but for business in the Fei Nation. Since she returned to the Xie family, Xie Yuhuan had always been in charge of the Xie family’s jewelry business. He wondered how her discussion went this time.
“We’ll talk about that later. I’ll stay in the Xie manor for a while, and Yuning will accompany me. You two won’t be frustrated, right?” Xie Yuhuan smiled.
“Aunt, you’re regarding me as an outsider. I’ll always welcome you here. You can stay as long as you want.” Xie Jiuhan said frankly.
To Xie Jiuhan, Xie Yuhuan was one of the few relatives by his side. Therefore, she could come and leave whenever she wanted. Not to mention bringing one person to stay, it was not a problem even if she brought ten people. Anyway, the Xie manor was very big, and there were many empty villas and courtyards.
Long Yuning walked into the living room and opened the bouquet. After tidying it up a little, she placed the flowers into vases in every corner of the room. These flowers were Xie Yuhuan’s favorite.
Xie Jiuhan did not look at her the entire time. In his eyes, Long Yuning was just a servant. He had never taken her seriously, much less placed her in his heart.
Long Yuning was the daughter of the Long family’s third branch. Ten years ago, the third branch of the Long family, husband and wife, were killed by their enemies overseas. Only Long Yuning, the lonely girl, was left to guard the huge assets of the third branch, attracting the coveting of many people in the Long family. It was Xie Yuhuan who had been meddling in it, helping her in the open and bringing her along. Only then did she safeguard the assets of the third branch.
Long Yuning had a gentle personality and she speaks gently. She liked the piano,violin, chess, calligraphy, and traditional culture. Moreover, she had studied ballet since she was young and had even won many international awards. She was deeply liked by Xie Yuhuan, and she had always been by her side serving her.
“Alright, I’m very happy that you’re willing to let Yuning move in,” Xie Yuhuan said with a smile.
A moment later, the two of them went to the study room, leaving Feng Qing and Long Yuning in the living room. The atmosphere changed slightly. Feng Qing stood up and prepared to return to her room. She didn’t know how long they would be talking for. She couldn’t keep waiting here, right?
“Feng Qing, wait a moment!” Long Yuning shouted and took out something from her suitcase. “This is the first time we’ve met. This is a gift I brought back for you from abroad.”
Feng Qing took a look and found that the thing in Long Yuning’s hand was light and thin. It was completely purple and looked like a piece of clothing. However, she had been maintaining her empty eyes.
“Haha, you’re too polite. When Aunt came back this time, she brought us a lot of gifts. And now you’ve spent money, I really feel sorry,” Feng Qing said sweetly.
Although her words sounded pleasant, her heart was filled with vigilance. Although she had long heard of Long Yuning’s famous name, the two of them did not have any relationship, and inexplicably gave her a gift…
Long Yuning smiled sweetly and handed the dress to Feng Qing. “Don’t say that. Although we just met, we’re still considered a family. The gift Aunt gave you is her heart, and this dress is my heart for you.”
With that, Long Yuning held her hand and walked towards the cloakroom on the second floor. After closing the door, Long Yuning smiled and stuffed the clothes into Feng Qing’s hands.
“Qingqing, let me call you this in the future. This will seem friendly. You can also call me Ningning or Yuning.” Long Yu Ning said softly, “Since you can’t see, let me tell you. This dress is violet-colored. It’s a color dyed with a special dye from the Fei Nation. The dress is very light and has a simple appearance. When worn, it’s elegant. Moreover, you’re so white, and it suits you very well.”
Feng Qing reached out to touch her dress. Her eyes were still empty and lifeless as she stared at the dress. The corners of Long Yuning’s mouth curled up into a faint smile.
“Yes, it’s very soft to the touch. It must be very comfortable.” Feng Qing smiled very naturally.
Long Yuning said proudly, “This dress was handmade by the most famous fashion designer in the Fei Nation, Regor. It’s the only dress in the world. When you accompany Jiuhan to the banquet in the future, you’ll definitely be the most eye-catching woman in the entire venue.”
