Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 449: Family Heirloom (1)

“Yes. I do miss you, President Mu. You are a very busy man. I wonder if you would stand my parents up today.”

The person on the other end of the line fell silent for a few seconds before he said in a muffled voice, “Are you worried that I’m not going there?”

‘Did I sound like I am worried that he is not coming over here? Seriously, why didn’t I realize this rascal is actually this thick-skinned?’

Looking at the growing crowd, Zhao Youlin smirked, “Regardless of whether you are coming over, it is none of my business. After all, there’s nothing for me to lose. Besides, I am not the one who is anxious to make known our relationship to the public. In fact, if you are not coming, I’ll be more hassle-free, saving me the hassle from having to serve an extra guest.”

The person on the other end fell silent again for a few seconds before he answered in resignation, “I am not your guest. I am your family member. Well, that’s all for now. You could come out and take me in in three minutes.”

Upon hearing this, she stopped her joking and looked at the clock hanging on the wall not far away from her. She responded to him, “Okay, I’m going over there now.”

Zhao Youlin hung up. She briefly explained the matters to the servant at the side before she walked out.

At the same time, a black, luxurious limousine that looked all the more sleek and shiny under the reflection of the moonlight slowly drove into the main entrance of the Zhao family’s main residence.

The man at the backseat held the phone that had been hung up. The corners of his lips slightly curled upward. At that time, an unusual warmth lingered around his usual chilly aura.

If the celebrities and noble young women were to watch this, they would have pounced onto the certain man by all means.

Unfortunately, Xia Zhetao, who was driving in the front seat, was the only lucky man to behold such a sight.

Looking at the man who was clearly in a good mood, Xia Zhetao heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was a bit unused to this.

Xiao Zhetao, who was driving quietly in the front seat and acting as a background, naturally knew who the person was whom his superior had chatted with. He also knew the reason why his superior behaved like this.

As such, the Mighty Secretary Xia, who had always been tortured by his superior’s chilly presence, felt like this time he had been tormented mentally instead of physically while being reminded he was still single after noticing his superior’s sudden warmth and the presence of love in the air!

However, he hated to be tortured. After he contemplated about it for some time, he thought that mental torture was way better than physical torture. It was best that the president remained this way. In the future, he really had to be devoted to worshipping Mrs. President for the rest of his life.

On the other hand, Duan Yarong had taken Han Yichen and An Yue to a quiet place. She sat next to An Yue. She was happy to see An Yue looking very different today.

An Yue’s small face blushed under Duan Yarong’s stare. She quietly looked down.

Han Yichen also enjoyed admiring An Yue’s bashful look. However, they were outside now. If An Yue was teased too much, in the end, he was the one who felt heartache for her. Therefore, he addressed Duan Yarong in a polite manner, “Mother…”

Upon hearing Han Yichen’s call, Duan Yarong shifted her attention from An Yue. An Yue heaved a sigh of relief. She cast a grateful glance at Han Yichen.

Duan Yarong saw An Yue’s small movements. She speculated that this was An Yue’s first time dressing up this way and also her first time attending such a banquet. The way she had stared at her had caused her to grow more worked up.

She felt guilty. At the same time, she was also amused. She held An Yue’s hand tightly and praised her, “Yue Yue, you look very pretty today.”

When An Yue heard this, her face turned red again. She subconsciously gave a look at Han Yichen before she said in a low voice, “Chen told me today’s a special day so I have to dress up a bit.”

“Chen is right. A young lady looks better when you dress up. Today’s your engagement day. You can’t let the outsiders look down at you. Well, I have something to give you today, Yue Yue. Your looks coincidentally match this.”

Duan Yarong paused. Under An Yue’s puzzled gaze, she took off a pair of beautiful silver bracelets from her hand and wanted to put them on An Yue’s hand.

An Yue was taken aback. She hurriedly pulled her hand back.

Duan Yarong did not let her do as she wished. She quickly grabbed her hand and put the bracelets on her wrist steadily. Only then did she feel satisfied and pull her hand away.

An Yue stared at the pair of bracelets on her wrist. They were round, silver bracelets that were not overly decorated. However, they were embellished with many tiny diamonds. They looked neither too simple nor luxurious.

The bracelets were given by Duan Yarong, so they were naturally not going to be any cheaper. An Yue got a bit worked up and whispered to her, “Mother, this is too expensive. I-I… I can’t accept them.”

“No. You can refuse others but you must accept these.” Duan Yarong looked intensely at An Yue and smiled, “They are from my mother-in-law, who is also Chen and your grandmother. She gave them to me when I was married to Rong.”

An Yue was stunned. The next moment, she seemed to understand something. She widened her eyes in surprise.

Duan Yarong smiled. She stretched out her hand and touched An Yue’s head as she said in relief, “Initially, I thought I would never have the chance to give these bracelets out for the rest of my life. I thought that I could only take them with me into my grave. Now that I have Chen, he had led me to you.”

Speaking this, Duan Yarong held An Yue’s hand once again. “I know what you’re thinking. Indeed, these bracelets are very valuable. However, the value of these bracelets is neither due to the number of diamonds embellished nor the patterns engraved on them. They are priceless because of the meaning they brought to the Zhao family members. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

An Yue nodded her head solemnly. The corners of Duan Yarong’s lips curved upward. “So, are you willing to accept this pair of bracelets now?”

An Yue was still hesitant. Han Yichen snapped in, “Mother has given them to you. You should accept them. Didn’t you also give her a gift last time?”

“That’s right. I really like the necklace that Yue Yue gave me last time. Look, I’ve been putting them on daily.” As Duan Yarong was saying this, she pointed at the necklace on her neck. The smile of pure bliss and heartwarming was all over her face.

It would have been better had Duan Yarong not said anything, once she said this, An Yue grew increasingly shy. The gift was…

An Yue looked at Han Yichen with resentment. Just when she was about to say something, she felt a certain weight on her thigh. She looked down in puzzlement and saw Joy had lunged at her and reached her knee. He looked up and shouted happily, “Sister An Yue!”

“Joy, why have you come over here?” Not only An Yue, but Duan Yarong and the rest of her group were also caught by surprise when they saw Joy’s sudden appearance.

Joy pouted his lips and looked aggrieved. “Mommy, Grandma, Uncle Zhao and Great-grandpa are busy and cannot play with me. So, I came here to look for you to play with me, Sister An Yue.”
