Cynthia nodded obediently and accepted the box containing Ditto.
Xu Qingqing took out another small gift box.
"This is another treasure passed down through the direct line of our family."
As she spoke, Xu Qingqing deliberately glanced at Xu Mu.
"Inside is a plan for building a Normal-type team, along with battle strategies. It's our family's most important legacy, and only direct descendants are allowed to study and use it."
Xu Mu clicked his tongue. Looks like this 'direct descendant' status of mine is definitely fake!
Why didn't you tell me about this before?
Now that Cynthia's here, you're bringing it all out?
What, was I found in the wild? Am I not a direct descendant?
Huh?
Answer me!
"The third gift is a little hairpin."
Xu Qingqing took out a third small box and continued:
"The Phoenix-Shaped Jade Pendant is passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law of our family. Xu Mu's mother has it now. Once you two get engaged, you can ask her for it."
"I bet she'll give it to you without you even asking. Cynthia's so adorable, after all!"
Unable to resist, Xu Qingqing pinched Cynthia's cheek.
Seeing Xu Mu looking ready to defend his girlfriend at all costs, Xu Qingqing wrinkled her nose at him.
"This Phoenix Hairpin is passed down to the daughters of the direct line. I probably won't have any use for it, so I'll give it to you in place of the pendant for now. When you have a daughter someday, you can pass it down to her."
Well, Xu Qingqing had everything planned out!
From the sound of it, one child wouldn't be enough. They'd need at least a son and a daughter?
Clearly, Xu Mu had a long road ahead if he was going to restore the family's fortunes!
