Curious, Tang Beibei drew a long box and opened it. It was a fountain pen.

Ruan Qi had also opened a box. It was a diamond bracelet that was obviously expensive.

She looked at the box in shock. “Isn’t this too expensive? I wouldn’t dare to accept it.”

“If you drew it, it’s yours.”

Tang Beibei smiled and helped her put on the bracelet.

“It fits you perfectly and it looks good on you.”

“But it’s too expensive!”

Ruan Qi knew that Jiang Jingchen often gave Tang Beibei expensive gifts. This gift must have been prepared by Jiang Jingchen for her, but she drew it instead. That was not very nice, right?

“It doesn’t matter how expensive the gift is.”

Tang Beibei comforted her and looked at her bracelet. It was indeed pretty. “Besides, how expensive can it be?”

“Um…”

At least seventy to eighty thousand yuan? Ruan Qi thought to herself.

However, when she thought about how Jiang Jingchen never mentioned money in front of Tang Beibei, she swallowed the rest of her words.

“What did you guys draw?”

Jiang Jingchen asked from the top of the stairs as he walked down.

“I drew a fountain pen and Qiqi drew a bracelet.”

“Go again.” Jiang Jingchen said as he walked downstairs.

Tang Beibei nodded with a smile and asked Ruan Qi to go first. Ruan Qi looked at Jiang Jingchen and asked, “Me too?”

“Of course. We invited you here. We can’t treat you any differently, right? Go ahead.”

Ruan Qi drew a small box and opened it to reveal a candy.

The wrapper was red, and she felt traumatized. She glared at Song Zhou and pointed at him. “Did you prepare this?”

Song Zhou didn’t say anything.

Ruan Qi unwrapped the candy and hesitated for a few seconds before popping it into her mouth. After a few seconds, she frowned and clenched her fists at Song Zhou, wanting to hammer him to death.

“What’s the flavor?” Tang Beibei asked curiously.

“Hotpot soup. Spicy and salty.”

Tang Beibei gave her a sympathetic look and drew another box. There was also candy inside, and the wrapper was green.

“What flavor could this be?” She peeled the candy wrapper and asked the two men.

Jiang Jingchen walked up to her. “Let me have a taste and we’ll know what flavor it is.”

He took a whiff, but there was no smell. He took a bite, and his expression turned ugly in an instant.

“What flavor is it?” Tang Beibei asked.

“It tastes like paint.”

Jiang Jingchen wanted to throw up. It was so disgusting.

Only by eating it could one taste it.

It was just like life. Only by living it would someone know the joys and sorrows of life. But no one would ever appreciate candy of this flavor.

Tang Beibei was shocked. This candy manufacturer must be amazing to be able to make candy that tasted like paint.

Jiang Jingchen took a sip of water and asked Song Zhou to draw something too. Song Zhou calmly drew a box and opened it. It was a hairclip emblazoned with crystals.

It was something for girls.

He felt a little awkward and wanted to put away the hairclip when Ruan Qi suddenly said, “Mr. Song, don’t be shy. If you drew it, it’s yours. Hurry up and put it on. It’ll definitely look good on you.”

Song Zhou’s face was expressionless as he kept quiet. He wanted to avoid the subject but Ruan Qi caught him and insisted that he put the hairclip on.

“I’m not wearing it.”

Jiang Jingchen ordered solemnly with a straight face, “Put it on.”

“…” Song Zhou gritted his teeth in anger.

Ruan Qi took advantage of Song Zhou’s daze and snatched the hairclip from him. She pulled up his bangs and put the hairclip on him.

Tang Beibei turned on her phone and took a photo.

“Belle Song, not bad. You’re really beautiful!”

The corners of Song Zhou’s mouth twitched. He grabbed at his hair frantically and took off the hairclip.

“I don’t need it. Here you go.”

“If Mr. Song gives it to me, 1 will misunderstand it as you are giving me a love gift-”

Song Zhou pursed his lips and kept the hairclip. However, Ruan Qi was too quick. She had already snatched the hairclip away. She made a face at him and put it on her head.

The four of them continued to draw gifts from under the Christmas tree and Ruan Qi drew a note.

There were two words on it, “Change positions.”

It was obvious that the note was written by Jiang Jingchen for Tang Beibei.

Ruan Qi blushed and stuffed the note into Tang Beibei’s hands.

She drew another box, and it held another note.

It said, “Call me ‘oppa’.”

Ruan Qi was furious. She turned to look at Jiang Jingchen. “First Young Master, I know that you and Beibei are in love. You don’t have to write these, right? These notes are not suitable for children.”

Jiang Jingchen glanced at the note. “You’re thinking too much and your mind is filthy. Don’t lead my wife astray.”

Ruan Qi threw the note to Tang Beibei, too angry to speak.

Jiang Jingchen cracked a roguish smile as he looked at Song Zhou and said, “It says call me ‘oppa’ but never specify who, right? You can also call Song Zhou ‘oppa’. He’s definitely old enough to be your ‘oppa’.”

Song Zhou was also opening a box when he saw a note inside.

“Kiss the person you like for ten minutes. It’s bad luck if you don’t.”

He quickly stuffed the note into his pocket. When he looked up and realized that the three of them were staring at him, he pretended to be calm.

“What? Call who ‘oppa’?”

“What are you hiding?” Ruan Qi was curious. There was something fishy about his fluster just now.

“Nothing.”

Ruan Qi didn’t believe him and reached into his pocket to take out the note.

Song Zhou wanted to stop her but couldn’t.

Ruan Qi opened the piece of paper and saw the words inside. She was stunned for a few seconds. Song Zhou tried to snatch it from her, and she didn’t stop him. Song Zhou stuffed the note back into his pocket.

“What does it say?” Tang Beibei was curious.

“Nothing much. Something about sending good wishes to the person you like.” Ruan Qi tried to gloss it over.

Jiang Jingchen looked at Song Zhou and raised his eyebrows. He was the one who wrote the note, so he knew what was inside.

He wouldn’t believe that Song Zhou would do nothing.

They drew several small gifts after and most of them were girls’ things, so they were all given to the ladies.

After the lucky draw, Jiang Jingchen and Tang Beibei went out to walk the dogs, while Song Zhou and Ruan Qi stayed behind to clean up.

After they were done, Ruan Qi broke the silence and asked Song Zhou, “Today is a special day. Will you contact your fiancee?”

“No.”

“Why?”

Song Zhou went to pour two glasses of water and handed one to her.

“No reason. She doesn’t like me contacting her.”

Ruan Qi furrowed her brows. “How can that be? Are you sure that you are engaged?”

“Yes.”

“Really?”

Ruan Qi felt that there was a story behind this. “When did you two get engaged?”

“After she saved my life.”

Song Zhou stared at the water in his glass with struggle in his eyes. “She said that she wanted me to be her groom.”

“She didn’t say if she would hold an engagement ceremony with me but I can’t have a relationship with another woman. This is a promise I made to her.”

Ruan Qi found it ridiculous. “Although she saved your life, she has no right to decide on your marriage, right?”

Song Zhou turned to look at her and said stubbornly, “But if I don’t even have a life, what marriage is there to talk about? Marriage is a promise and that’s all I can give her.”

Ruan Qi was angry, but she couldn’t disagree with what he said. She finished the water in her glass in a single gulp.

She stood up and walked up to Song Zhou. “If you only made a promise to her but have no feelings for her, will you fall for another woman?”

“Ruan Qi, you…”

“Don’t patronize me. I want to hear the truth!”

“Yes.”

Ruan Qi smiled and sat on his lap.

She lifted his chin and said, “Then, Mr. Song, let’s kiss. The ten-minute kind..”
