Chapter 1510 - Xu Xianghus Strange Gift (1/2)

Gu Yuexi and gang didn’t linger on. Today was Ninth Young Master’s birthday and he would definitely wish to have some alone time with Sis-in-law. They were not the type of people who would be insensitive to such situations.

Of course, this didn’t include Xu Xianghu.

Before leaving, Xu Xianghu, who had suffered under the hands of that perverted big boss, glanced meaningfully at Sis-in-law.

Sob sob sob, Sis-in-law you are so ungrateful. I brought Cleopatra back just for you, but you are now kicking me aside just because I have outlived my usefulness.

Wen Xinya returned Xu Xianghu’s look and batted her lashes at him, as if saying: Xianghu, you did bring Cleopatra over, so you actually deserve to be bullied!

Dismayed, Xu Xianghu really felt like squatting down on the ground and drawing circles in the dirt.

Wen Xinya was full of glee.

Si Yiyan was exasperated but his eyes were still full of doting. “Don’t always bully him!”

He couldn’t help doubting the accuracy of Xu Xianghu’s animal-like instincts. Otherwise, how did he not realize that the most sedate-looking Sis-in-law was actually the most dangerous person?

Since knowing Xinya, when did he not suffer under her hands?

“When did I bully him!” Wen Xinya pouted unhappily. Her bee-stung lips were shaped like a cherry blossom blooming as its most radiant. Two dimples also appeared on her cheeks, looking incredibly adorable.

It was just a casual remark by Si Yiyan. He didn’t really intend to speak up for Xu Xianghu.

Xu Xianghu was reluctant to leave. He turned back after a couple of steps and looked at them with a lingering gaze. “Boss, remember to look at my birthday present. It’s the gold-colored box on the side table. That box is pure gold…”

Before he could complete his sentence, Xu Xianghu had his mouth covered by Yueze and dragged out of the room.

Only then did Wen Xinya notice the four presents placed on the side table. One of them was a box the size of a notebook. Wen Xinya was rather curious as to what kind of gift a silly guy like Xu Xianghu would give Si Yiyan, so she reached out and took it up.

It was a deep box, and anyone could tell with just one look it was made from pure gold, with exquisite, lifelike carvings of a dragon and phoenix emblazoned across. Goodness knew where Xu Xianghu found such an extraordinary artist for the carvings.

“I finally realize the meaning of ‘he who has the most wealth speaks the loudest’. Only Xu Xianghu can think of having a gift box made of gold. His taste is truly… tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk…” Wen Xinya shook her head as she couldn’t help feeling disdain for Xu Xianghu’s gaudy taste.

Nevertheless, thinking of that long, thick gold chain with that gold tiger pendant hanging on Xu Xianghu’s neck, she realized that she should not have been surprised.

Si Yiyan’s gaze fell upon the box in Wen Xinya’s hands. Disdain flashed clearly across his eyes. “Mmm, what a unique taste!”

“I do wish to see what kind of present that pea brain of his managed to come up with.” Wen Xinya reached out to open the box. Nestled inside was a booklet made from ivory.

The pristine white ivory glowed softly under the light. It was flawlessly smooth with not a single crack or blemish to be seen.

Wen Xinya knew that it was extremely rare to see an artifact like this delicate ivory booklet. She never imagined that Xu Xianghu would be able to come up with such an exquisite gift.

The booklet was more lustrous than any gem, more pristine than any jade. It was like the soft, delicate skin of a young girl.
