Although he hadn’t become obsessed, he indeed fell in love with the girl in front of him. Of course, the most important reason was that she saved his life.
At that time, he thought that he was really going to die, but this girl saved him. She showed up like an angel when he came down in the world and offered him redemption.
Ye Xiyuan looked at the box in which there was a necklace lying quietly inside. It was a diamond necklace with an angel-wings-shaped pendant, and there was a pink diamond embedded in the middle. The diamond was about two carats. However, judging from the light reflected from the diamond and its purity, it was definitely a top-notch pink diamond.
It was obvious that this necklace was worth a lot. At least, it was more than enough to buy a house in the capital.
Ye Li and Lin Wanqin were also shocked when they saw Nangong Xuyao take out such an expensive gift.
Lin Wanqin looked worriedly at her daughter. As an onlooker, she could see most of the game. Young Master Nangong definitely had an ulterior motive for Xiyuan. After all, no man would give such an expensive gift to a girl he didn’t like. She didn’t know how her daughter felt about Young Master
Nangong, but she knew very well that it would be very difficult for her daughter to marry above her into the Nangong family. However, she felt that her husband would be very happy about that. After all, if they could be associated with the Nangong family, the Ye family would rise to power, riding the momentum of their development.
Just as Lin Wanqin had expected, Ye Li’s heart thudded madly against his ribs. He was a man, so he naturally understood Young Master Nangong. He was happy at the scene. During this period of time, because of Young Master Nangong’s help, the Ye family received a lot of orders, and their stock price had been rising almost every day. At that time, if Xiyuan really got together with Young Master Nangong, the Ye family would be able to squeeze into the ranks of first-class wealthy families.
“Brother Nangong, this gift is too expensive. I can’t accept it.” Ye Xiyuan declined and said, “I’m already very happy that you could attend my birthday party today. So, please take it back! If you really want to give me a gift, then have the first dance with me later!”
“Once the gift was sent, I definitely won’t take it back.” Nangong Xuyao didn’t take no for an answer. He took out the necklace and put it around Ye Xiyuan’s neck. “I specially asked someone to make this for you to celebrate your birthday. You must accept it. Otherwise, it means you don’t welcome me here.”
Ye Xiyuan couldn’t resist Nangong Xuyao’s tough attitude and could only allow him to put on the necklace for her. After that, she still said, “I’ll accept it, but next time, please don’t give me such an expensive gift.”
“Alright,” Nangong Xuyao replied. However, whether or not he would give her another gift next time was up to him. “Although you’ve already accepted the gift, I was supposed to offer you your first dance!”
“Since you invited, how can I refuse?” Ye Xiyuan smiled brightly.
At this moment, there were a few knocks on the door. And then the door was pushed open again.
Ye Anyun walked in. He froze the moment he saw the situation inside.
“Anyun, what’s wrong?” Ye Li stepped forward and asked, “Anything happened?”
“Dad, Mom, it’s getting late. Should we go out first?” Then, he looked at Ye Xiyuan and immediately noticed the necldace around her neck.
However, he was very observant and did not ask anything.
Soon, the dinner party began. All the members of the Ye family appeared in the banquet hall.
Ye Xiyuan was like a princess who was the darling of all hearts and was put in the limelight of the banquet. This was the dream scenario of her previous life, and now it had finally come true.
Today, she was going to completely trample Ye Lengan under her feet.
She couldn’t help but look around, searching for Ye Leng’an at this thought. However, to her surprise, she did not see her.
“Xiyuan, what’s wrong?” Ye Anyun, who was holding Ye Xiyuan’s hand, naturally noticed Ye Xiyuan’s movement. He was a little puzzled.. “What are you looking for?”
