Chapter 319 - A Mermaids Tear (2/2)

Looking at her extended hand, Xu Mey took it and shook it lightly. "Not the best? Just one of the best?" It was a casual remark on Xu Mey's part.

"Sorry! But I'd still choose my brother's food as the best one." Yang Ziyi gave her an apologetic look as her other hand touched Xu Mey's wrist. Xu Mey was pondering her words when Yang Ziyi suddenly smiled knowingly and let her hand go. She rummaged out something from her purse and placed it in Xu Mey's hand. "This is my thank you gift for you."

Xu Mey looked at the beautiful pendant with a single aquamarine stone dangling from the rose gold chain. The stone was shaped as a single tear. It looked simple but beautiful and elegant. Matching her style perfectly.

"There is no need for this." Xu Mey tried to refuse it but Yang Ziyi pushed it back to her.

"There is a need. I'll tell you some other time. For now, I can tell you that it's not an ordinary stone. It's named 'a mermaid's tear'. My brother said that it can grant a wish. Honestly, it works." Yang Ziyi whispered in a mysterious way and smiled pleasantly. Her smile immediately put Xu Mey at ease and she accepted her gift.

While Xu Mey turned to say goodbye to Wu Wang, Jie walked up to Yang Ziyi's side. "You've certainly grown up."

His remark made Yang Ziyi give a sly smile. "What gave that away?"

"You actually dared to gift that pendant to my wife. Do you think your brother will take it lightly? He exerted a lot of effort to get that specific stone for you. Even the carving is done by his own hands."

"Jie brother, you don't need to worry. If I get into trouble, I'll just use you as a shield. My brother loves you beyond my imagination. Also, I still think he won't be angry."

"How are you so sure?" Jie was surprised to see her certain look.

"Jie brother, I'm not the right person to break this news to you but let me give you a piece of friendly advice... Take extra care of your wife. Don't stress her out and don't let her work like she did today. She needs rest." Jie was frowning as he couldn't understand the underlying meaning of Yang Ziyi. "Also, her emotions are gonna be unstable. Don't disagree with anything she says. It's for your own good." She patted Jie's shoulder and walked away leaving a dumbfounded Jie behind.

When Wu Wang dropped off Yang Ziyi at the hospital door, she didn't waste any time to bicker with Wu Wang and ran inside. After a few steps, she pulled out her cellphone and made a call. As the call connected, she started screaming. "Bro, bro, you won't guess what I just found out."

Perplexed by her excitement, the person on the other end asked languidly, "Now, I wonder what actually is making you so hyperactive at this time."

"Brooooo! I'm going to be an aunt soon!" She exclaimed into the mic of the phone in a loud voice.

"But I don't even have a girlfriend," the person on the other end answered in a calm voice.

Yang Ziyi rolled her eyes and said, "Bro, just because you're hell-bent on being single for life doesn't mean others are as well. Jie brother has a wife."

"Oh..." This dry answer really didn't effect Yang Ziyi's mood, she was used to it.

"Bro, did you hear? Jie brother is going to be a dad!"
