There are also unspoken rules for gift-giving. Unless you are sure that the gift you prepare is unique, it will generally be given in advance.
Otherwise, if the gift you give is not as good as others, your gift will be worthless.
Seeing him about to act, Liu Shijie took the lead and stepped forward, taking out a carefully prepared gift from his arms. He looked at Qin Xiwu with eyes full of love and said affectionately, "Xiwu, I know you are busy with work every day and under a lot of pressure, so I went to the Jokhang Temple to ask the monk for a calming talisman."
He opened the gift box and took out the dragon-and-phoenix-decorated calming talisman inside.
"The monk said that if you wear it while working, you will be more efficient, and if you wear it while sleeping, you will sleep more soundly."
Everyone present looked at the talisman paper. Liu Shijie and the others were not unfamiliar with it because the other party had also come to Qin Xiwu's birthday last year and the gift he gave was also very valuable.
"This young man is truly sincere. It's been two or three years, and he's still persevering."
"It's a pity that the man has feelings for her but the woman has no intention of falling in love. Qin Xiwu is now fully focused on her career and has no intention of falling in love at all."
"What a pity."
The people below were talking about it, but Qin Xiwu's expression remained calm. She said calmly, "Liu Shijie, we are classmates. You don't have to spend so much effort to get a calming talisman for me. It's too valuable. I think my aunt needs it more than I do."
"No, no, this is something I obtained specifically for you." Liu Shijie immediately shook his head. "Only you can activate the power of the wish on it. It will be ineffective if worn by others."
"Hmph, it's just a piece of broken talisman paper, but you're talking about it in such a grandiose way." Du Yang sneered in a low voice.
His voice was quite loud, and Liu Shijie immediately glared at him angrily when he heard it.
"Who are you to say that the gift I gave you is useless?"
Du Yang sneered, strode forward, and said calmly: "If this thing is really so useful, do you want to buy it with your status?"
"You don't really think that old monk is some kind of master, do you? They can only fool arrogant people like you."
Liu Shijie's face turned ashen with anger when he heard this. The gift he had spent so much time and effort to prepare was said to be worthless by Du Yang. How could he not be angry?
"I'd like to see what amazing gifts someone like you can give."
Du Yang smiled brilliantly and said proudly, "It's not stunning, but it's definitely practical."
"I'm different from you. I like to be practical." He belittled Liu Shijie and then took out the gift box he had prepared and took out a piece of fine jade from it. "So I prepared a jade bracelet for Xiwu. As the saying goes, people raise jade, and jade can also raise people."
"Only a jade as beautiful as this can be worthy of you, who are as beautiful as jade."
Du Yang looked confident. This bracelet was not only of excellent quality, but also made by a master. It cost him a lot of money. He believed that Qin Xiwu would like it.
"How vulgar!"
When Liu Shijie saw the jade in Du Yang's hand, he immediately sneered.
"You don't think that just by making a few bucks, you can win the heart of a beautiful woman, do you? Look at where you are, Xiangshan International, right?"
"A villa here is worth over 30 million, do you understand what I mean?"
Du Yang sneered, "Of course I know Xi Wu isn't short of money, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like jade. You're so picky, how can you know what she truly likes?"
The two of them were like thorns against each other, making sarcastic remarks to each other, which made the other people present look like they were enjoying the show.
This kind of melodramatic plot can usually only be seen on melodramatic TV, but today I saw it ready-made.
Qin Xiwu's face turned cold. The two men seemed to be jealous of her, but in fact they were roasting her on the fire.
"Have you two had enough of this?"
"Hmph!" Du Yang snorted coldly and immediately shut up.
Liu Shijie also restrained his coldness and revealed a gentle smile.
"I can tell you very clearly that I have no plans to find a boyfriend right now, so please don't waste your time on me."
"Your gifts are very valuable. I feel unworthy of receiving them, so I will not accept them. Please take them back."
"Xiwu!" Liu Shijie's expression changed slightly. "You know my feelings. How can I take away a gift I've given you? I said I can wait for you forever, even if you're 30 or 40."
"Ahem, could you two please move aside a bit?" Qin Haowen stood up and pointed at Chen Chuan, "My brother hasn't given me the gift he prepared yet."
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Chen Chuan. Liu Shijie sneered, and Du Yang also looked at Chen Chuan with indifference.
"Chen Chuan, we've only known each other for a short time, there's no need to give me a gift." Qin Xiwu said calmly.
Chen Chuan touched his nose and said calmly: "Logically speaking, I should call you sister."
"But as the saying goes, a beautiful lady is always sought after by a gentleman. Ever since we parted at the Great Falls, I've been thinking about you. Now that we've been lucky enough to meet again in Jiangcheng, it means we're destined to be together. So, I want to try and win your heart."
