Jiang Xue smiled and waved her hand, "I'll do what I should do, and you do what you should do."
Aunt Wang was happily preparing to go home when Jiang Xue called her back, still worried.
“Aunt Wang, I think finding Wang Jing a job in the city might be more suitable for him than here.”
"I think so too. I'll go back and tell her right away." Aunt Wang quickened her pace as she hurried toward the neighboring village.
Jiang Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to return to the kitchen to make wontons with Aunt Zhou.
Seeing that Ji Chen had just returned, she casually instructed, "Call Gu Xiaohei and the others for dinner."
"Wait a minute, I have something for you." Ji Chen quickly parked the car, jogged over to Jiang Xue, and took a jewelry box out of his coat pocket.
"This is for you."
Before Jiang Xue could react, Ji Chen grabbed her hand and shoved the jewelry box into her grasp.
Ji Chen was clearly a little embarrassed, and before Jiang Xue could open it, he quickly left.
"I'll go call them to dinner."
Jiang Xue opened the jewelry box with some surprise, only to find an extremely ugly gold necklace lying inside.
And that pendant was as tacky as it could possibly be; it was so tacky it was outrageous.
Her lips twitched incessantly. She remembered that Ji Chen seemed to have suddenly become unhappy after Gu Xiaoling came last night. Could it be because Sun Ze'an gave her a gift?
Jiang Xue put the gold necklace away. Although it was ugly, it was quite heavy and made of solid gold.
However, she definitely couldn't accept this gift. The two of them had no intention of being together, and besides, she didn't really understand Ji Chen's taciturn nature.
Everyone at the dinner table was eating the delicious wontons.
"Sister-in-law, I don't care, from now on I'm going to eat at your house every day. Your cooking is just too delicious."
Jiang Xue smiled and shook her head, "I don't have time to cook every day, I'm busy with my career."
"Don't be too busy. Your older brother will take care of you from now on."
Ji Chen was enjoying the paper-thin wontons with their tender meat filling when Gu Xiaohei suddenly started nagging him.
"You're not going to eat it, are you?"
Jiang Xue immediately realized that Ji Chen still wanted to distance himself from her, and that the necklace was probably a gift to thank her for helping him take care of the child.
Jiang Xue was not disappointed by this; instead, she felt a sense of satisfaction. Where else could she find such a good partner?
But what she didn't understand was Ji Chen's understanding of her. Ji Chen knew that Jiang Xue had always been an independent woman, and it was absolutely impossible for her to rely on him completely.
As night fell, the crowd dispersed.
Jiang Xue took out the gold necklace and handed it to Ji Chen.
I appreciate your kind intentions, but I cannot accept this expensive gift.
Ji Chen frowned and asked, "Don't you like it?"
Jiang Xue really wanted to tell him it was too ugly, but in her memory, this seemed to be the first time this guy had bought her a gift, and she couldn't shatter his expectations.
"I like it, it's very pretty, but the gift is too expensive, I can't accept it."
Jiang Xue insisted on returning the gold necklace to Ji Chen.
Ji Chen felt a strange, indescribable feeling in his heart, a sense of emptiness.
"There's no reason for me to take back what I gave you."
“I’ve already helped you a lot by taking care of your child, and you even gave me the foundation for my factory. I can’t be so greedy. Although I am a bit greedy, I still have my own ideas.”
"I won't allow you to say you're greedy. Aren't all of mine yours?"
