Chapter 5

There was a mocking look on Chi Xia’s face. “I don’t see any sincerity in this gift. You bought it for 10 RMB and simply wrapped it up. Pretending that something you bought from a novice knitter is a homemade gift. How shameless can you get?”

Qiao Mu twisted her lips and said defensively, “No matter what gift I get her, she wouldn’t like it anyway. She will just end up throwing it into the trash can. So, what’s wrong with giving her a piece of trash? That way, the gift wouldn’t go to waste.”

“God, you’re seriously cunning!” Chi Xia said in exasperation. Qiao Mu was such a cunning fox, and her personality did not match her pure and innocent appearance at all.

Chi Xia was Qiao Mu’s best friend, and they were extremely close. This was why Chi Xia knew Qiao Mu really well.

Qiao Mu watched as Chi Xia left in the cab. She looked at the gift she was holding with a satisfied expression. Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind her.

“You look pretty happy for someone who’s holding a piece of trash.”

Qiao Mu widened her eyes abruptly and quickly turned to look at the person who was speaking. She saw a towering figure standing beneath the shade.

“You… Why are you being so sneaky?”

‘Trash? Shit! That person heard my conversation with Chi Xia just now!’

…..

Li Yan had already entered the courtyard of the mansion when Qiao Mu exited the mansion.

When he saw how sneaky she was acting, he decided to stand in the courtyard and take a look at what she was doing after he got out of the car.

This little thing had seriously exceeded his expectations. He thought that he was only an innocent and naive young woman, and he did not expect her personality to be like this.

Li Yan strode toward her, and his gaze fell upon the box she was holding. He arched an eyebrow. “I’m quite curious about what the piece of trash in this box actually is.”

Qiao Mu was so flustered that she did not know what to say.

‘Damn it.’ She had always been a careful person, and her stepmother and stepsister had never been able to find any fault with her. How did she end up letting someone eavesdrop on her conversation with Chi Xia?
