“That was simply fantastic. Fang Xi, you are the most amazing girl I have ever met!” Ye Kun sincerely praised.

Fang Xi’s heart started to beat normally again as she stared at Ye Kun. “What a coincidence, ” she smiled and said.

Ye Kun was dressed in light blue casual wear today. It was a flashy color, but it matched his strikingly handsome face. He stared at his and Fang Xi’s figures reflected in the glass to the side and felt that they were really a good match.

Hence, his mood brightened even further, and he smiled and replied, “Yeah, what a coincidence! I was just thinking, ‘ Why didn’t I invite FangXi to come with me when there are so many beautiful accessories here? I don’t know if she’s busy or not. Will it be okay ifI suddenly call her? Which of these beautiful jewelry would she like? I was just letting my imagination run wild when I saw you. I picked you out of the crowd immediately!”

Fang Xi looked at Ye Kun, whose eyes were sparkling, and couldn’t help but chuckle, “What did you have for breakfast today?”

Ye Kun was stunned and thought, ‘She’s concerned about me? That’s great!’

“I was in a hurry to leave the house, so I only drank a glass of milk and ate one of the eggs I cooked for Tuan Tuan,” Ye Kun answered honestly.

Fang Xi laughed, and someone looked over and raised their eyebrows at the sound. Fang Xi quickly covered her mouth and quietened her laughter, but her shoulders shook—she was still laughing, albeit quietly. She could barely stand up straight and laughed until her eyes teared up.

Ye Kun was slightly startled, but seeing Fang Xi so happy, he foolishly laughed along. He’d never seen Fang Xi smile and laugh so happily. She always kept her emotions in check and kept others at a distance; she would quickly retreat the moment someone got too close to her.

‘A beautiful girl like her should always laugh and smile like this,’ Ye Kun thought.

Fang Xi supported herself against a pillar and finally stopped laughing, but her smile remained. She noticed Ye Kun staring at her goofily and changed the topic. “Then, has Tuan Tuan eaten? You said you ate his breakfast.”

Ye Kun smiled and told her, “I only ate one egg. Tuan Tuan had the rest of them.”

Fang Xi chuckled. Ye Kun was as innocent as a child. It was rare to see someone with such a pure heart. Fang Xi couldn’t help but become gentler towards Ye Kun.

“Why did you come to watch this exhibition? Did you want to pick out some jewelry as a gift for someone? I’ll help, ” Fang Xi offered, thinking about the jewelry pieces that would make great gifts for relatives. She didn’t think Ye Kun had a girlfriend; he seemed like the type of guy who would be joined at the hip with his girlfriend if he had one; he would probably bring her everywhere with him. ‘ What an innocent boy,’ Fang Xi thought.

However, Ye Kun misunderstood and hastily explained, “I don’t have a girlfriend, but now that you mention it, I think I can buy something suitable for my mother. If I give her a gift, she’ll be happy and won’t scold me so much.” Ye Kun’s rushed explanation made Fang Xi want to laugh again. ‘Ye Kun was very mature and composed in the past. Why is he so childish and adorable today? she wondered. ‘Oh, that’s right. The Ye Kun I sawin the past either needed my help or helped me.’

“Why would your mother scold you?” she asked. ‘Any woman would happily boast about having such a son!’

Ye Kun sighed. “It can’t be helped. My elder brother is stationed overseas, and my dad is my mom’s loyal fan, so I’m the only one he can order around. My dad said he had a second child because he feared he couldn’t count on my elder brother. My brother said he had already seen what was coming—he didn’t want to end up as my parents’ errand boy, so he worked very hard to encourage my mother to have a second child. I was my dad and brother’s planned sacrifice.”

Fang Xi found the whole thing funny and commented, “Your family is quite interesting.”

Ye Kun shook his head repeatedly. “No, I don’t think so at all. Y-You’d better help me see if there’s any suitable jewelry for me to give to our family’s Empress Dowager. The more I think about it, the more this seems like a good idea, a great idea!”

Fang Xi smiled as she checked out the exhibition with Ye Kun.

Fang Xi was very Imowledgeable about gemstones, and her taste was much better than most. She spoke about the jewelry to Ye Kun as they looked at them. Ye Kun was amazed and praised Fang Xi for knowing so much.

Praise makes people happy, especially ones from the opposite sex. Fang Xi considers herself a strong and confident woman; even though she has lived such a complicated family life, Fang Xi has never doubted herself. However, a failed relationship experience had her self-confidence crushed into dust.

Ye Kun was like a ray of light, lighting up that dark and damp corner of her heart. And there in that corner was a young and tiny Fang Xi, struggling to sprout, struggling to get back on her feet, struggling to start anew.

Ye Kun paid little attention to the jewelry. In his eyes, there was no jewelry, only Fang Xi, radiant as she talked about each and every exhibition item. He had never had such a knowledgeable and talented girl by his side. And she was so beautiful! She was so perfect!

Meanwhile, Shi Gao was angry enough to burst. Her friends following her around had all found excuses to leave, one after the other. Shi Gao naturally Imew why they had left and hated that woman just now even more..
