Qiao Xi took another deep breath and said very seriously, "What I'm interested in is how you bought it."
Qi Jincheng seemed to understand what she meant and simply explained to her, "Master Jun Wuwei has some connections with the old man."
"So you just gave it to me directly?" Qiao Xi found it even more unbelievable.
"Mm." Qi Jincheng nodded, giving her a definite answer again, and at the same time, a faint smile appeared between his brows.
A dozen or so hours ago.
After He Fan reserved the table, Qi Jincheng immediately called the old man, wanting to give Qiao Xi a special and unique gift.
After the beep, an elderly but cheerful and humorous voice came from the other end of the phone, "Oh, you still remembered me, young man. I am deeply honored."
Qi Jincheng was already used to his teasing and went straight to the point, saying, "Grandpa, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"You want my help?" Qi Jili asked, feigning surprise. "Am I hallucinating?"
Qi Jincheng helplessly touched his forehead and said to him very seriously, "Only you can help me with this."
Coming to his senses, Qi Jincheng saw Qiao Xi's puzzled and confused look.
In Qiao Xi's opinion, Qi Jincheng's "some relationship" was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Otherwise, those big shots in the jewelry industry could have bought it directly based on that, instead of having to take it to an auction.
Unless Qi Jincheng offers a price much higher than the Jun family's ideal price!
Qi Jincheng smiled slightly at Qiao Xi and said, "We've got another good investment project."
Qiao Xi was even more confused. "What do you mean?"
Qi Jincheng seemed to be deliberately keeping her in suspense by not answering, remaining mysterious.
Since he was unwilling to talk about it, Qiao Xi wouldn't force him. Judging from his expression, it wasn't a bad thing.
Looking at the three masterpieces displayed before her, her feelings were quite complex. Joy was inevitable, but more than anything, she felt unworthy of them? After all, they were indeed far too valuable.
However, based on her understanding of Ah Jin, he never asked for anything back after giving it away. If she didn't want it, she could choose to dispose of it herself, whether it was thrown away or burned.
"You really gave it to me?" Qiao Xi deliberately tested him.
Qi Jincheng guessed her little thought and asked intentionally, "Xi'er, you don't like it?"
Qiao Xi quickly replied, "How could that be? I absolutely love it!"
"I'm worried that you might regret it someday and want to go back," Qiao Xi said, feigning concern.
Qi Jincheng played along and asked, "Then how can Xi'er be at ease?"
Qiao Xi, quick-witted, asked the waiter beside her, "Waiter, could I have a piece of paper and a pen?"
The waiter smiled and gestured, "Please wait a moment."
Soon the waiter brought paper and pen. Qiao Xi quickly wrote a line on the paper, checked it, and then handed it to Qi Jincheng with both hands, saying politely, "Mr. Qi, please sign."
Qi Jincheng had no idea what she was up to. After taking the paper, he read the words aloud: "From this day forward, Qi Jincheng belongs to Qiao Xi. He is forbidden from having any extramarital affairs. If discovered..."
He paused, glanced at Qiao Xi with a deliberately deep gaze, and continued, "All assets belong to the former wife of the president of Dihua Group."
"Ex-wife?" Qi Jincheng was quite displeased with this title.
Qiao Xi nodded solemnly and said, "That's right. If you start having affairs outside, then I definitely can't stay by your side anymore."
"You dare!" Qi Jincheng suddenly frowned and emphasized his tone.
Qiao Xi argued logically, "Am I supposed to watch you show affection with other women or men?"
Qi Jincheng's face immediately darkened, and he said to Qiao Xi with a certain tone, "Xi'er's worries are unnecessary."
Without hesitation, Qiao Xi echoed, "I believe you."
"If Mr. Qi has no objections, please sign it quickly," she urged him.
Qi Jincheng knew she was joking. Not to mention that the piece of paper had no legal effect, even if it did, who would dare to help her get the money back?
However, as long as his Xi'er can stay by his side, he will give her everything. If one day he really does something to betray her, he knows what to do without her having to say a word.
Qi Jincheng picked up the pen, about to sign, when he suddenly looked at Qiao Xi with a slight smile and asked, "Do you need two copies?"
"No need, just sign it and give it to me," Qiao Xi said readily.
Qi Jincheng nodded knowingly, then suddenly asked, "What if Xi'er is having affairs outside?"
Qiao Xi immediately straightened her back and said shamelessly, "I have nothing but you, so you can decide what to do."
Before he could finish speaking, Qi Jincheng burst out laughing. He hadn't known before that his Xi'er had such a shameless side. In any case, he had no choice but to sign this document.
Qiao Xi stared intently at Qi Jincheng's dashing signing gesture. After he finished, she quickly put away the note and pretended to thank him, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Qi."
Before Qiao Xi could fold the papers and put them in her bag, there was a sudden bang, and then the night sky outside was transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors.
"Fireworks." Qiao Xi couldn't help but stand up and look at the night sky. One burst of fireworks after another bloomed in the night sky, making Qiao Xi exclaim involuntarily, "So beautiful."
When my mother was alive, every Lunar New Year's Eve, the whole family would have dinner together and then set off fireworks in the yard.
After the mother and daughter moved in, the fireworks ceremony was discontinued, and she could only watch other people's fireworks bloom on New Year's Eve.
The fireworks were beautiful, but none of them belonged to her.
Qi Jincheng slowly walked to her side and gently pulled her into his arms. Qiao Xi looked at Qi Jincheng with slightly teary eyes, knowingly asking, "Was this also arranged by you?"
"A date should look like a date," Qi Jincheng said with a hint of pride.
Qiao Xi was touched. Dinner, flowers, jewelry, and fireworks—all of these were prepared for her.
In her past life, she had wronged this man countless times. If he were to wrong her again in this life, then Qiao Xi deserved to go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reincarnated.
Qiao Xi hugged him tightly, buried her face in his chest, and mischievously rubbed the moisture from the corner of her eyes onto his shirt.
After she calmed herself down, she looked up at him and asked seriously, "Ah Jin, do you want to date me?"
Qi Jincheng gently pinched her chin and asked her with a knowing look, "Is it not allowed?"
"Okay." Qiao Xi nodded very seriously, put her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe and whispered three words in his ear, "I'll teach you."
