Chapter 237: Chapter 236 Isn’t it as much as you want?
The black bag was very ordinary, crumpled upon unfolding, adding a cheap feel to it.
However, for Xiao Qimo, it was priceless.
“For me?” 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 tsk…
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. Mo’s distant nature, just considering the Xiao Family’s status as the foremost wealthy family, he wouldn’t take such a thing seriously, let alone accept it.
He had seen such scenes many times before. In which instance didn’t 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 didn’t notice them, casually sitting on the sofa, pulling in her lashes slightly, and softly hmmming in agreement.
It’s not like she hadn’t brought gifts for males before, but this time felt different somehow, as if she was responding to something, it was peculiar.
If she couldn’t figure it out, then she wouldn’t dwell on it.
She lifted the item in her hand again.
Xiao Qimo’s gaze had been fixed on her the whole time. His face was expressionless, but inside he felt a mix of surprise and delight. He didn’t 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.
Lu Mian pursed her lips, explaining, “I had the scarf cleaned for you at the dry cleaner’s, thank you, it’s very warm.”
It didn’t 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 tie’s fine texture.
He was certain this was the gift Lu Mian had given him, and the thought deepened the curve of his smile.
Mo Nie on the other side couldn’t quite grasp Xiao Qimo’s emotions. He could sense when his master was happy or upset. Mr. Mo, initially so aloof, now seemed… happy?
It was just a tie, wasn’t it? Such things, didn’t he have as many as he could want?
And Mr. Mo’s personal items were all high-end custom-made; this quality of…
It wasn’t that he looked down on the tie, but given Mr. Mo’s status, it just didn’t seem fitting.
Yet Mr. Mo’s 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 inexplicably…
He could no longer experience that kind of heart-fluttering feeling anymore, nope.
Now, all he could be was a silent lemon.
“Did you buy this for me?” Xiao Qimo held it in his hand for a long time, his expression clearly spelling out “like.” 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 girl’s actions were never that simple.
Sure enough, as Xiao Qimo basked in the pleasure of receiving a gift, Lu Mian spoke lightly.
“Mmm. Yuanyuan chose it, I paid for it.”
