Ye Wei got up from bed at 9 o’clock, answering Yu Qiao’s phone call. She opened the fridge and got out a carton of milk.

“Who sent it?” Yu Qiao had said someone sent her a present. It must have been someone who knew her since it was able to be dropped off directly at the company.

“They didn’t say, and the box is packaged. What time are you coming over?”

“I’m going to go wash up (T/N: Wash up is a phrase often used to describe all the morning stuff you do in the bathroom). Did Sister Fan arrive yet?”

“Sister Fan hasn’t arrived.”

“Ok, put it in the lounge then.”

Ye Wei poured out a cup of milk and put it into the microwave to heat up. She turned and went into the bathroom, tying up her ink-colored long hair behind her head. Under the lights, the whiteness of her slender, long swan neck stood out without a blemish. In the mirror, the black circles beneath her eyes seemed to have lightened up compared to a few days ago. This was the result of eating and sleeping her fill for an entire day.

She put on simple makeup and changed her clothes to go out. She took out the milk from the microwave, the temperature was just perfect. In one go, she drank it all up.

The chauffeur was already downstairs waiting for her. After Ye Wei got in the car, she took a look at her phone. She hasn’t heard anything from Fan He since last night, which was totally unlike her usual style of doing things.

It was yesterday afternoon when she went to the studio for <The Seamen>. According to her temper from the past and whether there was news or not, she would always immediately notify her.

Acting so quietly like this, there probably weren’t any changes in the results after all– even though she took the trouble to take the trip there. If Queen Fan got frustrated by this, she was either baring this patiently at home or holding back her next move.

Ye Wei was smiling helplessly before suddenly calling to mind a certain matter. To the person driving in the front she said, “Little Jun, don’t mention what happened yesterday to anyone.”

“I know, Sister Wei Wei. Don’t worry, I won’t say anything about it.”

“That includes the people by my side too. I don’t want anyone to know about my personal matters.”

“Not even Sister Fan’s ok?”

Ye Wei replied, “En, don’t mention it to anyone”

“Understood. Miss, you can relax, my lips are sealed.”

Feng Jun came from the company and has always been driving her around. He was young but very clever, so Ye Wei usually treated him rather well. This child always yelled Miss this and Miss that when he saw her. As he was a hardworking and sweet talker, Ye Wei treated him as one of her own people.

Upon arriving at the company a quarter past 10 o’clock, she came into her private lounge. On the table was a boxed package. Putting down her handbag, she then took out a pair of scissors from the pen container and cut open the package. Inside was a white jewelry box with a gold stamp on the side. Naturally, Ye Wei understood clearly what logo it was on the top. This was a jewelry brand made under the Luo Group.

Eyebrows were raised slightly. It was obvious, even without guessing, who the sender was.

Yu Qiao opened the door and came in: “Sister Wei Wei, you’re here.”

“Sister Fan hasn’t come yet?”

“Nope.”

Yu Qiao came closer and giggled, “It’s from Young Master Xu, isn’t it.”

Ye Wei took the box and opened it. It was a necklace on display at the exhibition. The tail feather embedded in the diamond was very vivid and lifelike.

This young master really never got tired of this. It could be that he never got rejected before and his heart was unwilling. Ye Wei closed the box and put it to the side. Since it was a present sent by Xu Zhi’ang, he would surely be the first to contact her.

Sure enough, not even half an hour had passed before Xu Zhi’ang called over.

“Did you like it?”

This manner of speaking, Ye Wei could practically see Xu Zhi’ang’s peacock tail rising up to the sky above. “Not bad, but it’s a bit lacking compared to yesterday’s diamond within a diamond.”

Xu Zhi’ang held back his tongue and was rendered mute for quite a while. The price of that diamond really wasn’t that expensive, but the value was in its rarity.

Ye Wei smiled happily, “I’m just playing with you, thank you for your good intentions. Since this was a present, I must send a gift in return.”

“There’s no need to return a gift. When you have time, let’s have a meal together”

“I still better send a return gift. If you don’t like it, then we can talk about other ways.”

Ye Wei knew Xu Zhi’ang’s address from the last time he sent a wristwatch and she sent it back. Taking out a new box to pack it into, she planned to give it directly to Little Jun with the consideration that it was such a valuable thing. It was best to be a bit more careful.

She opened the door and came out, “Qiao Qiao, come over for a bit.”

Yu Qiao was holding up the script when she came out from the other lounge, “Sister, what’s the matter?”

“Do you have free time?”

“Yeah.”

“Give this over to Xu Zhi’ang, I sent the address to your phone.”

Yu Qiao started, “To think you’re returning it. With this, you would be able to change suites.”

“Sister has grown used to her little place, I won’t change it.” She stuffed the box into Yu Qiao’s hands. “Behave, go now.”

Yu Qiao felt very pained. This was worth how much money? Ye Wei would always say how poor she was, yet she never accepted anyone’s presents or show of goodwill. She said she couldn’t lightly accept the presents of these bigshots, and if she did, it would mean that she accepted the other side’s suggestions. She also said, it wasn’t that she didn’t accept anyone’s show of goodwill, it was just that they needed to catch her fancy first.

Getting in the car, Feng Jun entered the address to drive over. Yu Qiao was very familiar with Feng Jun. Both of them were close friends with Ye Wei, so they didn’t really have any worries talking with each other in private. “What kind of man do you think Ye Wei would come to fancy anyways? She’s sending back Young Master Xu’s present again.”

“Of course, one that’s worthy of Sister Wei Wei. What kind of person is our miss, not like those coquettish people, of course.”

Yu Qiao giggled, “Sister Wei Wei seems cold, but she’s actually not at all aloof. She’s always kind to us dull, no-name people. Or is it possible that she likes taking the initiative?”

Even Feng Jun didn’t know the type that Sister Wei Wei liked. For two years, he had been a driver for Ye Wei so people who came to chase them were actually pretty common. Yet, that day’s affair was definitely a first occurence.

Who was that person? Their Bentley was of the highest grade and with a custom license plate. But that wasn’t important, the main point was that he’s probably the guy that Sister Wei Wei fancied.

Yu Qiao arrived at Luo Group’s headquarters. Once she informed the front desk, she went upstairs to find the person.

This thing had to be personally handed over to Xu Zhi’ang’s hands. There was no room to slip up.

Upon reaching the 42nd floor, Yu Qiao met up with Xu Zhi’ang and handed over the thing.

Xu Zhi’ang’s face instantly sank after opening the package. He chased out after her while carrying the thing. “Uh-um, who?”

Yu Qiao had just walked to the elevator when she heard Xu Zhi’ang’s voice, “Are you talking to me?”

“What does Ye Wei mean by this?”

Yu Qiao was worried Xu Zhi’ang would bring out his young master attitude and that it would have an impact on Ye Wei. She didn’t know how to respond to his question.
