Two dancing butterflies flew high and low into the distance, and then turned into ridiculous angry birds.

Looking at the girl who was enjoying herself happily in front of the grand piano and completely forgot that she was at a birthday party, Lu Changchuan's eyes were deep in the corridor outside the banquet hall.

She always managed to surprise him again and again without him noticing.

"Master Jiu..."

Behind the pillar under the eaves, Rong Qian asked quietly: "Are you still...going in?"

Every year at Mr. Qin’s birthday party, the Lu family’s Ninth Master would come to celebrate, and he was always the first one to arrive.

You have to accompany him to drink tea and talk about the Lu family first. When the banquet starts, Old Qin will grab Lu Changchuan and go to the banquet hall.

This year I was delayed by something at home and arrived half an hour late. I didn't expect to see such a thing as soon as I arrived.

The thought that if there was no delay, Master Jiu and Miss Ye would have run into each other...

Rong Qian shuddered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Let's go."

Lu Changchuan looked back at Rong Qian and said, "Send the birthday gift to Mr. Qin's study. Tell Butler Qin that... I have something urgent to do at the company, so I'm leaving first."

"yes."

Hearing the piano keys falling, Ye Wan withdrew his hand.

Rong Qian decisively reached out and pulled Lu Changchuan back behind the pillar.

In the banquet hall, when Ye Wan and Xie Chenmin stood up, thunderous applause broke out.

"Young and promising! Kids these days are really amazing!"

"Mr. Qin, is this your granddaughter?"

"Only the Qin family can raise such a stunning young lady..."

The compliments were endless. Old Qin smiled and looked very proud. "If I had a granddaughter like this, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Isn’t she the daughter of the Qin family?

Everyone looked at each other, becoming even more confused.

However, Mr. Qin looked like he had no intention of introducing Ye Wan's background to everyone.

No one wanted to ask more questions, so they just praised him a few more times and let the matter pass.

The butler quickly added a chair next to Old Qin.

Under the gazes of countless burning eyes, Ye Wan walked forward and sat down next to Old Qin with a calm expression.

Xiao Manluo's teeth were almost broken.

Not only did he fail to become my disciple, he also made Old Qin a little unhappy.

Becoming a disciple is a small matter. It doesn't matter if Mr. Qin is unwilling to accept Du Feixuan.

If I really offended Mr. Qin, it would be the same as offending the top wealthy families in the entire imperial capital, right? A layer of sweat broke out on her back. Xiao Manluo grabbed Du Feixuan and hid her behind her, smiling and saying, "Mr. Qin, after giving you the birthday gift, we will go back now."

"As long as the thought is there, no need for gifts."

Old Qin was in a good mood after being cheered up by the dozen songs sung by Ye Wan. When he turned around and looked at Xiao Manluo, he turned back into the smiling and unpretentious old man he was just now.

"How can that be possible? I have already had it carried here. Would you mind taking a look?"

Xiao Manluo smiled.

Lift? Something big? The guests all looked in the direction Xiao Manluo was looking.

In front of the rockery outside the window, there was an old huanghuali shelf, and on the shelf was a huge gray-yellow stone.

You can tell at first glance that it is quite old, with mottled patterns on the rocks.

It can be vaguely seen that it is a seal-script character for "Shou".

For someone of Mr. Qin’s status and age, giving him antiques is the safest and most foolproof way to go about it.

The huanghuali wood frame is an antique, and there is a character for longevity on the boulder.

This gift can be considered a heavyweight one.

Not to mention Xiao Manluo, even the wealthy and powerful top guests at the main table might not be able to find such a top-notch gift in a short time.

Old Qin glanced at her and his eyes fell on Xiao Manluo's face. "Let's carry her back."

"Mr. Qin!"

Xiao Manluo screamed in shock.
