Xiao Che stood there dumbfounded, truly not expecting that the jade pendant he had given away would be returned...
Commander Xiao shook his head with regret. His grandson secretly liked the girl, and he had even given away his family heirloom, only to have it returned...
The Xiao couple were utterly shocked. Their son was determined to marry this girl, but she rejected him? And even returned the jade pendant?!
The four family members had different thoughts, but they all thought of the same thing at the same time: I/my son/my grandson was returned!
Bai Yajing's hand was getting sore from holding the jade pendant, but the other person wouldn't take it.
Without a second thought, she stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and shoved it into his grasp. It was a clean, decisive, and utterly swift action.
Well, the girl rejected him very decisively! There's no chance for his son/grandson.
The three of them shook their heads and sighed at the same time, their eyes filled with disappointment and frustration as they looked at Xiao Che! How come he's so tall and can't even win the heart of a young girl?
Xiao Che looked at the jade pendant in his hand and clenched his fist.
"The jade pendant I gave you is..."
He wanted to express his feelings, but when he looked up at her clear, bright eyes, he couldn't say anything more.
She... seems to be only seventeen! She's not even an adult yet!
If he were to confess his feelings for her, wouldn't that be a bit of a beast?
...
He swallowed hard and said in a serious tone, "I'm giving you this jade pendant as a token, so you can bring it with you if you ever need to contact me. Yes, that's it!"
A token of love is a token of love, and a token of gratitude is also a token of love; they are both tokens of love, and they are essentially the same!
Commander Xiao slapped his forehead. "It's hopeless!"
Mr. and Mrs. Xiao looked at their son with mixed feelings, tsk tsk, the meaning of the tokens is different. That makes a big difference!
I hope my son won't regret it later...
Bai Yajing actually sensed his feelings. After all, she wasn't stupid. Having grown up in the village and witnessed so many family ethics, love gossips, and the like, she always had a very accurate intuition about these matters!
Anyway, I'm going to get married and have kids. If the person in front of me is this guy, well, it's alright!
His face, his physique, and the box of medals that Commander Xiao just showed him—all of this clearly demonstrates that he is a very high-quality man!
As the ladies would say, if you encounter someone like this, you should be secretly happy!
But this guy said it was a token of gratitude for her? Could she be mistaken? Tsk…
With that serious expression on his face, it seems I really did misunderstand!
Since that's the case, I'll accept it.
"Okay, I'll keep it for now. I'll contact you again when I've thought it through!"
Don't be a fool to accept favors offered to you! What their family needs most right now is a powerful backer.
With this matter temporarily settled, Bai Yajing knew they had serious business to discuss next. After all, the other party had already gone too far, and she didn't believe the Xiao family would let it go so easily.
"Grandpa Xiao, Uncle and Aunt, Comrade Xiao, I'll be leaving now. My uncle is still waiting for me at home."
"Hey, good, Little White, come over and play sometime."
"Okay, girl, come find your grandpa if you need anything."
After saying goodbye to the Xiao family, Bai Yajing went back home.
Before I even opened the door, I could hear cheerful chattering coming from inside.
Unlike before, there were also occasional responses from men with calm and steady voices.
Bai Yajing was somewhat surprised; her uncle had never been so calm towards Liu Meiling before…
