332: Chapter 332 Practical Gifts

A bunch of blockheads!

Bai Jing couldn't help but pout; she didn't take the three women who offered gifts first seriously at all.

You have to know, this is Lin Xiaojin's birthday!

As for how high a status Lin Xiaojin held in Qin Ge's heart, even she dared not speculate recklessly.

How is this even a birthday party?

It is clearly just an excellent opportunity for them to curry favor with Lin Xiaojin and thereby show their faces in front of Qin Ge.

Such a great opportunity, and one by one, they don't even know how to seize it.

Especially that Emilia, dressed up so gaudily; she doesn't know how to seize such a great opportunity, instead acting lovesick, staring at Qin Ge with a dazed look in her eyes.

Bai Jing shook her head, nudged Yunhai City's Number One Beauty Jiang Yingxue with her elbow, and urged in a low voice, "Xiao Xue, you go!"

Sigh...

Jiang Yingxue, wearing a wine-red floor-length swaying gown, slowly exhaled, forcibly suppressing the envy in her heart, and then stepped forward holding a gift box.

She happened to bump into Ning Ke'er, who had walked over at the instigation of Mu Xinyi.

Jiang Yingxue and Ning Ke'er looked at each other, then immediately looked at Lin Xiaojin and said one after another,

"Xiao Jin, this is an evening gown I specially selected for you; it is pure white and flawless, just as pure as you are."

"Lin Xiaojin, this is a set of cosmetics I specially selected for you."

Qiao Yingzi, Zhou Lingyun, and Emilia couldn't help but look toward Bai Jing at the same time, their expressions as if saying, is this the precious gift from you best friends?

It's quite ordinary, too!

Bai Jing arrogantly tilted her snow-white neck and sneered in her heart; what do Qiao Yingzi and the others know?

This is called throwing a brick to attract jade!

If she keeps Qin Ge happy, is she afraid Jiang Yingxue won't have meat to eat?

However, she didn't expect that little slut Mu Xinyi would actually think of the same thing as her.

Bai Jing turned her head and locked eyes with Mu Xinyi; in a flash, electric arcs sparked and crackled between them.

Bai Jing took the lead, holding the buzzing gift box and stepping forward.

Jiang Yingxue blushed and spat softly, "Bai Jing, what on earth is inside that box of yours?!"

At Jiang Yingxue's prompt, the complexions of Qiao Yingzi and the other women instantly turned rosy.

Even Lin Xiaojin blushed, feeling too embarrassed to reach out.

"What are you all overthinking?!" Bai Jing rolled her eyes and said irritably, "This is an electric spring meant to be placed inside a mattress; it allows Qin Ge to experience unprecedented pleasure without exerting any effort while staying relaxed."

That's right, it looks like she is giving a gift to Lin Xiaojin.

In reality, she is currying favor with Qin Ge.

"Xiao Jin, I don't have anything better to give you, so this is a Xiuhe Suit I commissioned a master of Suzhou embroidery to make for you."

Mu Xinyi glanced at the ample-chested Bai Jing, snorted softly, then looked at Lin Xiaojin and whispered, "Of course, you can only try on this Xiuhe Suit in front of Qin Ge, after all, there's a bit less fabric."

Hiss— Even Qin Ge couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.

Good grief! He already knew that Bai Jing and Mu Xinyi's personalities didn't follow the usual script.

But he never expected that Bai Jing and Mu Xinyi would actually think of the same thing.

The skimpy Xiuhe Suit Mu Xinyi gave probably used even less fabric than the outfits he had prepared in his closet for the Daughters of Destiny.

Bai Jing gave an electric spring.

It doesn't sound good to say out loud, but this thing is practical!

"Alright, alright, I'll accept the gifts for Xiao Jin; let's eat cake."

Qin Ge imperceptibly stowed the buzzing gift box and the gift box containing the Xiuhe Suit into his System space, then grabbed the blushing Lin Xiaojin and began to cut the cake.

As soon as the cake was served, Bai Jing and Mu Xinyi went head-to-head.

The two took pieces of cake and threw them at each other.

In the dining room, milky white cream splattered everywhere, quite shocking.

After the commotion, when things finally settled down, Emilia wiped the milky white cream that had accidentally splattered on her face, looked at Qin Ge, and asked curiously, "Qin Ge, what about the gift you gave Lin Xiaojin? Can you let us see it?"

As her voice fell, even Bai Jing and Mu Xinyi, who were competing in secret, stopped their hostile gazes, inwardly cursing Emilia for not knowing how to read the room.

Yet they also looked toward Qin Ge with eyes full of curiosity.

They also wanted to know what gift Qin Ge had prepared for Lin Xiaojin.

Lin Xiaojin opened her mouth; she wanted to say that as long as she could be by Qin Ge's side, that was already the greatest and favorite gift of her life!

But considering the feelings of Emilia and the others, the words on the tip of Lin Xiaojin's tongue ultimately came to an abrupt halt, and she didn't have the nerve to say them out loud.

"Then I'll take Xiao Jin out for a while."

After saying this, Qin Ge raised his hand and pointed at Mu Xinyi and Bai Jing, saying with a straight face, "You two clean up the mess in here; I don't want to see this place in such a mess when I get back."

...

Urban village, tenement building,

Lin Xiaojin returned to the front of her home, tilted her head, looked at Qin Ge, and murmured with tenderness in her eyes, "Qin Ge, why did you bring me home? Emilia and the others are still at your place; isn't it a bit bad for us to just leave them there?"

Inside the room, Xu Lan, who was busy in the kitchen, heard her daughter's voice outside and quickly said, "Is that Xiao Jin back? Come in quickly!"

"Mom is making longevity noodles for you!"

"Little Qin likes you so much, he even insisted that Mom make you steaming hot longevity noodles, afraid they might get even a little bit cold!"

Lin Xiaojin looked at Qin Ge, "Is this your gift?"

Qin Ge lowered his gaze, his lips curled into a gentle smile as he said, "Do you like it?"

Lin Xiaojin nodded heavily, "I like it! I like it especially much, it's my favorite!"

She clasped Qin Ge's arm tightly with both hands, as if she were afraid that he might leave her, and was unwilling to let go no matter what.

Lin Xiaojin pulled Qin Ge into the house, sat by the wooden table, and leaned her head on Qin Ge's shoulder, enjoying this moment of tranquility, feeling indescribably happy.

Compared to celebrating her birthday with her good friends.

She felt that being at home with Qin Ge and her mother was more comfortable and happier!

Suddenly remembering something, Lin Xiaojin said to her mother, who was busy in the kitchen, "Mom, make three bowls of longevity noodles; one for each of us."

Just then, Xu Lan walked out of the kitchen carrying a tray with three bowls of longevity noodles.

She rolled her eyes at Lin Xiaojin and said amusedly, "Does that even need saying?"

Hum—

Just at the first glance of her mother, Lin Xiaojin's watery, beautiful eyes trembled violently.

It was different!

The crow's feet from hard work on her mother's face had disappeared, and even her hair had become jet black.

Just as young and beautiful as she was when she was a child.

Moreover, she could visibly notice that there was once again expectation and spirit for life in her mother's eyes.

Only then did Lin Xiaojin finally realize what gift Qin Ge had given her.

"Qin Ge..."

Lin Xiaojin murmured emotionally.

She couldn't help but wrap her arms around Qin Ge's neck, and in front of her mother, she took the initiative to kiss him, her heart swaying.

At this moment, if her mother weren't right in front of them,

Lin Xiaojin would have loved to melt her whole self into Qin Ge's warm chest!
