Chapter 1491: I Belong to You in the First Place

Jiang Chenghao even picked up a piece of pastry and ate it together with Xu Xiaoxiao.

That sweet pastry seemed to make him a little happier, too...

The two people over there chatted as they ate.

It was clear to anyone who saw them that they had a very good relationship.

However...

Qin Yiyan crossed his arms and asked Liu Xin'ai, "Since when did those two get so close?"

To tell the truth, Liu Xin'ai was also puzzled.

She thought for a moment and speculated, "Perhaps Xiao Xiao and Jiang Chenghao have had more opportunities to spend time together recently, so they've become familiar."

Familiar?

This was likely not as simple as just being familiar.

Qin Yiyan was curious, yet he did not want to waste too much time on other people.

Especially when the other person was Jiang Chenghao.

Although the matters between Jiang Chenghao and Liu Xin'ai were already in the past.

But the moment he thought about how a very important period of Liu Xin'ai's life was not spent with him...

Qin Yiyan felt very bothered inside!

He knew full well that this jealousy was inexplicable, yet he still could not help it.

He even wanted to do something to prove that Liu Xin'ai truly belonged to him now.

His eyes darted around, and Qin Yiyan suddenly wrapped his arms around Liu Xin'ai's waist.

Liu Xin'ai looked down and said, "It's a bit tight, loosen it a little."

"No, I'm afraid you'll run away."

Run?

Run where?

This guy, what is he letting his imagination run wild about again!

Liu Xin'ai felt helpless, and at the same time, she raised her hand to push Qin Yiyan away.

But her actions not only failed to push him away, but instead made Qin Yiyan hold on even tighter.

Liu Xin'ai had no choice but to beg for mercy, saying, "I can't catch my breath."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiyan finally loosened his grip a little.

Yet his arm still controlled Liu Xin'ai, keeping her standing pressed against him.

Even when acquaintances came over to exchange pleasantries, he did not let go.

The other party saw the two

people looking like conjoined twins, smiled, and then tactfully walked away.

After this happened a few times, no one came to disturb the couple's affection anymore.

Liu Xin'ai felt so tired; she was too lazy to try and persuade Qin Yiyan again and could only try her best to ignore the hand on her waist.

Soon, it was time for the auction segment of the evening banquet.

It was said that there would be quite a few rare auction items today.

Qin Yiyan leaned into Liu Xin'ai's ear and said to her, "If you see something you like in a moment, just tell me, and I will bid on it and give it to you."

"I don't like these things."

"Don't speak too soon; what if there's something you like?"

Hmm...

Even if she liked it, there was no need to bid on it; just looking at it was enough.

Liu Xin'ai had no obsession with worldly possessions.

When the auction began, she was just watching for the fun of it.

Until...

A Song Dynasty vase appeared.

This vase was sky-blue, with a slender body, ancient and understated.

Liu Xin'ai took one look and felt it was very beautiful.

Because it was beautiful, she even stared at it for a long time.

Qin Yiyan noticed his wife staring at that vase for a long time, so he decisively raised his paddle: "Fifty million!"

This voice gave Liu Xin'ai a start.

She looked to her side, confirmed that it was Qin Yiyan who had shouted that number, and immediately tugged on his sleeve to make him lean closer to her.

Then she whispered, "Are you crazy!?"

"No."

"Then why spend so much money to buy a vase?"

"Because you like it; as long as you like it, I'll buy it and give it to you."

Qin Yiyan said it as if it were a matter of course.

But Liu Xin'ai was left speechless.

She said, "I never said I liked it!"

"But your eyes were fixed on it for over a minute."

"Then I also stared at you for a minute, why don't you buy yourself and give yourself to me!"

The example Liu Xin'ai used... was not very appropriate.

Qin Yiyan leaned in, his tone affectionate: "There's no need to buy this; it already belongs to you."

After saying this, he kissed Liu Xin'ai.

This gesture of his successfully made Liu Xin'ai blush,

and also made her forget to pursue the matter of the fifty million.

Just at this moment, the auctioneer brought down the gavel.

The Song Dynasty vase was secured by Qin Yiyan.

This young couple's intimate behavior was not hidden from others.

So, quite a few people were fed dog food.

Among them was Xu Xiaoxiao.

Well, truth be told, that kiss Qin Yiyan just gave was truly too sweet!

But it was also truly torturous for the single folks!

Xu Xiaoxiao glanced to the side, wanting to see what Jiang Chenghao's reaction was.

But upon looking, she discovered that Jiang Chenghao was not watching Liu Xin'ai.

Instead, he was chatting with the Xiaobudian beside him.

At this moment, Tiantian was standing beside Jiang Chenghao; she tilted her head up and asked with a look of longing: "Is it really not possible?"

Jiang Chenghao patted her head and replied: "You have to tell me what you're borrowing money for before I can lend it to you."

"I just want to... buy a gift for Mommy."

"What kind of gift could be worth millions?"

"It doesn't necessarily need that much, I was just estimating."

Estimating...

Jiang Chenghao thought of something.

He turned his head to look at the auction floor, then asked: "The gift you mentioned, it wouldn't happen to be among the auction items, would it?"

Oh, she had been guessed already?

Tiantian dropped her shoulders, feeling a bit annoyed.

She had wanted to give Mommy a surprise.

Since it was a surprise, no one could know, including Daddy and Yanbao and the others.

To avoid leaking the secret, she had specifically sought out Jiang Chenghao for help.

But she hadn't expected...

The secret still couldn't be kept!

Tiantian sighed, and her mouth pouted unhappily.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Chenghao couldn't help but chuckle.

He could understand Tiantian's feelings, but as an elder, there were some things that could not be indulged.

So Jiang Chenghao said: "You should change to a different gift; the handmade doll from last time was quite good, I saw that your mommy liked it very much."

"Mommy is a beautiful woman, she should have beautiful jewelry, not a doll!"

"Jewelry? Then your daddy will buy that."

Tiantian shook her head like a rattle-drum: "No, no, if Daddy gives it, it's Daddy's, it's different from me!"

"This..."

Jiang Chenghao was just feeling a headache when he suddenly heard a voice from behind: "I think Tiantian is absolutely right."

Hearing this voice, Jiang Chenghao and Tiantian turned around together.

Then, they saw Xu Xiaoxiao lean down and say: "Tiantian's mommy works so hard; as a daughter, it's very normal to give a gift to Mommy to express your love."

These words really spoke to Tiantian's heart, and she nodded hurriedly.

Xu Xiaoxiao tapped Tiantian on the nose, then smiled: "But you don't earn your own money yet; if you give a gift that is too expensive, your mommy will feel burdened instead."

"Burdened? Really..."

"Yes, and women don't just like jewelry, they also like..."

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't finish her sentence; she pointed toward the garden outside.

Receiving this hint, Tiantian murmured: "Flowers?"

"That's right, I know how to weave flower crowns; I can help you make one to give to your mommy, and she will be just as happy!"

Tiantian puffed out her chest and said proudly: "No need for Auntie's help, I know how to weave flower crowns too!"

"Really? Then let's have a contest and see whose is better looking!"

"

Okay, okay, let's compete right now!"
