Chapter 853: Chapter 853: Gift Skirmish (4)

Ruan Xue and Gu Tingting staggered a few steps, turning back to glare fiercely at the man who had grabbed them, then their expressions froze in surprise.

"Big Brother An, why is it you?!"

"And why shouldn’t it be me? Little sister was prepared; otherwise, how could I have allowed that woman to be so arrogant?" An Zhihang pushed up his glasses, a cold light flashing beneath the lenses as he gave Guh Siyi a sidelong glance before turning back to admonish Gu Tingting and Ruan Xue, "Little sister knows what she’s doing. With her temperament, she’d never let Guh Siyi have an easy time. You two are her friends; you should trust her."

With that, An Zhihang pulled back his hands, elegantly sliding them into his pockets as he turned to leave.

"Big Brother An is right, Xiao Qing really has never lost before. Ah, Tingting, hey, Gu Tingting, what are you dazing out for?!" Ruan Xue waved her hand in front of Gu Tingting’s eyes, puzzled.

"Ah? Oh! What happened?!" Gu Tingting snapped back to her senses, looking around startledly, "What happened?"

Ruan Xue rolled her eyes, "What are you thinking about? Wait, look at me; let me have a good look!" she said, reaching out to lift Gu Tingting’s chin and staring at her intently, "Eyes brimming with spring, cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, lips slightly upturned... Holy crap, Gu Tingting, you’re in heat! You... mmmph!"

Before Ruan Xue could finish, Gu Tingting frantically covered her mouth, giving her urgent looks.

"Don’t be so loud; people are watching!" she rapidly blinked, "I’ll let go of your mouth, but you better not scream! If you do, I’ll get physical!"

It took Gu Tingting quite a while of admonition before she carefully removed her hand.

"Holy crap, Gu Tingting, you actually..." Freed from the restraint, Ruan Xue took several deep breaths, lowering her voice in astonishment as she looked at Gu Tingting.

She tremblingly pointed at the woman in front of her whose face was lit with the glow of spring, and then her gaze shifted back and forth through the crowd, only coming to rest upon the elegant man with gold-rimmed glasses.

"Gu Tingting, you actually... he... he... you’ve fallen for Big Brother An?!" After stuttering for a moment, Ruan Xue finally managed to ask.

"Don’t put it that way, I just think that Big Brother An is so handsome!" Gu Tingting said, her face blushing as she coyly stole a glance at An Zhihang in the distance, "Xiao Xue, I think a man like Big Brother An, who appears so refined and cultured, must have a silently fervent heart of spring. If I were with him..."

Watching Gu Tingting’s rapturous expression, Ruan Xue shuddered violently, reaching out to clumsily smooth away the goosebumps on her arms.

On one hand, Gu Tingting had discovered her first love of life. On the other, everyone’s attention was drawn to the wooden box in An Yiqing’s hands.

"Erm... Miss An’s present wouldn’t really be a plate, would it? That would be a real joke!"

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, the gleam in Guh Siyi’s eyes intensified with triumph. She archly raised her eyebrow and asked with a smirk, "What’s the matter, Miss An? You didn’t actually prepare a plate, did you?"

Confronted with Guh Siyi’s mockery and the strange gazes from everyone, An Yiqing innocently blinked her clear eyes and nodded in front of all those watching.

"Mhm, Miss Guh guessed right, I have indeed prepared a plate for Grandpa Bai."

Her statement struck the room like a thunderbolt, reverberating through the whole venue.

"Holy crap! Miss An really did prepare a plate! Did she dig out a plate used by Emperor Qin to serve his food?" a guest said in surprise.

"Come on, even if it were a plate for serving Emperor Qin’s food, it wouldn’t be as valuable as Jade Spirit! This is it; Miss An is finished now! I wonder how she’s going to turn this situation around."
