After greeting him politely, she playfully winked at Grandpa Gu.
Old Master Gu couldn't stop smiling; the more he looked at the two of them, the more well-matched they seemed.
Gu Minhang led her to a seat and then politely greeted the collateral branches of the Liu family.
Liu Nian noticed that one of her cousins, whom she had chatted with at Liu's house before, kept staring at Gu Minhang next to her, and anyone could see the admiration in her eyes.
Liu Nian frowned, trying hard to remember her name, but in the end, he could only recall that her name was something like Jin!
Gu Minhang naturally noticed it as well, but he ignored it.
After all the dishes were served, everyone started eating.
Gu Minhang knew about Liu Nian's special circumstances, so he took good care of her during meals.
He would serve food to Liu Nian under everyone's gaze, and then if Liu Nian frowned after eating just a little bit, he would serve her the rest himself.
I barely ate anything throughout the entire year.
As the dinner party ended, each of the uncles and elders handed her a thick red envelope and wished her a happy birthday as they left!
The smile on Liu Nian's face never disappeared.
However, younger cousins like Meteor's age all give gifts.
Liu Nian didn't even know their names, and couldn't recognize their faces.
She'll accept whatever they give her.
When it came to her familiar cousin giving her a gift, she seemed to deliberately act coy and talked a lot of nonsense.
Liu Nian knew her intention; wasn't she just trying to get a man's attention? She helped her.
"Gu Minhang, what my cousin said makes a lot of sense." Although she had no idea what she was talking about, Liu Nian still made something up: "What do you think?"
Gu Minhang understood what Liu Nian meant, and looked up at his so-called cousin: "Thank you for praising my wife."
Mo Jinxin: "..."
She then handed over the gift and left.
Liu Nian was very satisfied: "These gifts are worth quite a bit of money if they were sold!"
Gu Minhang chuckled: "You didn't sell all the gifts you received in previous years, did you?"
Liu Nian nodded: "Yeah! Anyway, I don't need it."
With a helpless look, Meteor patted Liu Nian's head affectionately and handed her a red envelope, saying, "Happy birthday, Nian Nian."
Liu Nian happily accepted the red envelope, and when she touched something that looked like a card inside, she smiled even more: "As expected, my sister understands me."
Meteor shook his head: "Is this all you're good at?"
Liu Yansheng seemed to understand her better and gave her a black card directly.
I'm almost afraid to accept the passing years.
“Take it, this is from your father.” Liu Yansheng’s tone left no room for argument.
Upon hearing this, it would be foolish of Liu Nian not to accept it.
"Thank you, Father."
Then Old Master Gu also got up and came over, carrying a brocade box.
After he came to Liu Nian's side, he opened it in front of several people.
Inside the brocade box was a bracelet, entirely dark blue, and upon closer inspection, a thin red thread could be seen inside.
When Elder Gu opened the brocade box, Liu Nian was surprised to sense an energy fluctuation that did not belong to this world.
"Grandpa Gu, this bracelet of yours?"
Old Gu took out the bracelet and handed it to Gu Minhang, indicating that he should put it on Liu Nian's wrist. At the same time, he also answered Liu Nian's question.
“This bracelet is a family heirloom of the Gu family. It has been passed down for more than a thousand years. It was left by the ancestors of the Gu family and has been passed down from generation to generation, only to daughters. However, in this generation of the Gu family, I am the only great-grandson. I cannot pass it on to my father. Since you are the future daughter-in-law of the Gu family, this heirloom is naturally given to you.”
Liu Nian waved her hand, indicating that she couldn't: "This is too precious, I'm afraid I won't be able to preserve it properly..."
"System, what's going on? There's an energy fluctuation."
System: "This bracelet has been passed down for over a thousand years and contains a trace of spiritual energy. Host, this seems to be helpful for your improvement."
Liu Nian was stunned, looking at the bracelet still in Gu Minhang's hand with suspicion.
When she wasn't doing missions, she would go deep into the mountains and forests to kill strange beasts and extract their spiritual energy to enhance her own abilities. She had never heard of this bracelet being able to help enhance her abilities.
The bracelet doesn't have much spiritual energy; it's just a wisp of spiritual energy constantly moving around inside.
"Old man, there's no reason for me to take back what I've given away."
"Well... alright!" Liu Nian had no choice but to accept it now.
Gu Minhang smiled as he put the bracelet on her wrist, and took the opportunity to squeeze her hand.
"Alright, you young people can go ahead if you have other plans! I'm old, I'm going home to wash up and go to bed." Old Gu left satisfied.
Liu Nian and Gu Minhang went out together to see him off.
When Mr. Gu arrived, he was accompanied by a driver, so after being dropped off at the restaurant entrance, he got directly into the car.
Only after the car had driven far away did Liu Nian turn her gaze away, looking at the bracelet that had appeared on her wrist, her eyes filled with inscrutable emotions.
Gu Minhang held her hand at all times; he was very clingy.
"Year after year".
"Huh?" Why are you calling her all of a sudden?
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Gu Minhang's eyes: "Why are you staring at the bracelet? Don't you like it?"
Liu Nian shook her head: "I just feel it's too precious, I'm afraid I'll lose it."
"Don't worry, once you put it on, you won't be able to take it off. Try it if you don't believe me." The corners of his mouth curved wider and wider, as if he was very happy that Liu Nian couldn't take off the bracelet.
Liu Nian reached out suspiciously to take off the bracelet. Strangely, when Gu Minhang put it on her, it was very easy. She was also very clear that the bracelet was bigger than her fist. So why couldn't she take it off?
