[Wind or rain, this State Preceptor wants to go out every single day. Help!!!]
[Sure enough, you can't get too happy. Too much joy turns into sorrow.]
Qing Qianxue was in no hurry to leave the carriage. He raised an eyebrow at Jiang Yourning. "Sixth Miss Jiang, you don't seem particularly pleased to have this State Preceptor here to celebrate?"
As he spoke, a hint of regret entered his voice. "I even personally selected a gift for your grand opening. But since Sixth Miss Jiang doesn't welcome me, perhaps I should forget the whole thing."
Beside him, Qian Miao obligingly opened the box he held, revealing two Luminous Pearls larger than fists. Thoughtfully fitted beneath them were stands of pure gold, carved with floral designs.
"Two Luminous Pearls that big? Father only has one, and his is much smaller than these."
Chu Lange was the first to stare, her eyes widening.
Xie Ciyan, who knew how wealthy Qing Qianxue was, remained fairly composed. He merely cursed inwardly at what a dog Qing Qianxue was.
Jewelry wasn't quite appropriate as a grand-opening gift. To prepare something for his little fairy, he had rummaged through everything he owned before finding a gift he was reasonably satisfied with. But beside these two Luminous Pearls, it suddenly seemed unfit to grace the table.
Jiang Yourning blinked at the two Luminous Pearls gleaming conspicuously in the sunlight, then quickly pulled her gaze away.
"You must be joking, National Preceptor. How could I possibly not welcome you? Come, come, come, everyone, head inside! Your private room is already prepared. I guarantee you'll all eat to your hearts' content today!!!"
[Damn it! He's got me wrapped around his finger!]
[He's brought gifts right to my door. It wouldn't be proper not to invite him in.]
