Chapter 13

When the blood droplet touched the bracelet, it instantly emitted a blood-red glow. Each bead on the bracelet became crystal clear, with thin threads of blood flowing inside, just like human blood vessels. It seemed as if the beads were connected not by red threads but by the blood itself.

"Blood Jade Bracelet, how is this possible? Only my grandfather has one in the entire family." Wang Nianlin looked at the bracelet on Ye Qinxue's wrist in surprise. Although it had looked like a cheap trinket before, it was now a priceless treasure.

The price of Blood Jade is not high, and with his family's wealth, buying a few strands would be no problem. However, the most precious thing about Blood Jade is its rarity. Once it appears on the market, it is quickly bought up.

It is never resold because Blood Jade has significant benefits for the human body. Wearing it can beautify and nourish a woman's skin, expel toxins, and for the elderly, it can slow aging and strengthen the body.

It is precisely because of these magical effects that Blood Jade has become such a rare treasure. Hearing Wang Nianlin's words, the people present began to guess what it was. Even those who had never heard of it could see the blood-red glow from the bracelet.

It was clearly a valuable item, and with Wang Nianlin's words, everyone knew it was a treasure.

"What a beautiful bracelet." Bingxin looked at the blood-red bracelet on Ye Qinxue's wrist in surprise. She had heard about the situation from Ye Qinxue, and she found it hard to imagine where Ye Qinxue had gotten this bracelet from.

Just a moment ago, they were boasting about the value of their gifts, saying that the gift from Xia Tian was worthless. But now, the situation had completely reversed. How could a diamond ring compare to a Blood Jade Bracelet?

All the other gifts were overshadowed by Xia Tian's gift. Ye Qinxue was completely stunned. She knew Xia Tian best. Xia Tian had always refused to take her mother's money and worked hard to earn his own living. Where had he gotten this gift from?

Although she loved the gift, she was more worried that Xia Tian might have done something illegal.

Wang Nianlin's gift had been overshadowed, and now the only thing that stood out was the flowers in his hand.

"How could I not send you flowers on your birthday?" Xia Tian smiled. He understood Ye Qinxue's thoughts, but now was not the time to explain. His phone had just received a message from Old Master Xu.

More than ten people appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall, each holding a large bouquet of flowers. They arranged the flowers on the ground to form a giant heart, surrounding Xia Tian and Ye Qinxue.

9,999 roses. Just a moment ago, Wang Nianlin was saying that Xia Tian didn't even have a bouquet of flowers, but now so many people had brought flowers. Wang Nianlin had only brought ninety-nine, but Xia Tian had arranged for so many to be delivered.

No one looked down on Xia Tian anymore. At first, they had seen him in ordinary clothes and had all criticized him, thinking he was just a poor boy. But now they realized that Xia Tian was just playing it cool.

A bracelet worth millions, plus all these flowers, was no small amount of money.

"Qinxue, look outside." Xia Tian pulled Ye Qinxue into his arms. At this moment, Ye Qinxue felt like a little girl. She felt truly happy, but the person in front of her was her cousin.

Fireworks. Outside the window, hundreds of fireworks were launched into the sky, exploding in a dazzling display of colors.

At this moment, not only Ye Qinxue but all the women present were moved. If a diamond ring and flowers were a romantic combination, then a large bouquet of flowers and fireworks were even more heart-melting.

They all envied Ye Qinxue. Why wasn't she the one in the spotlight? Bingxin was puzzled by the scene. Ye Qinxue had told her about Xia Tian, but even she was deeply impressed by what she saw.

The fireworks lasted for a full ten minutes before ending. Just as everyone thought everything was over, the lights in the high-rise buildings outside suddenly went out, plunging the area into darkness.

Then, the lights on four connected high-rise buildings suddenly lit up, spelling out the words:

Xue, I, Heart, U.

The heart in the middle was perfectly centered. The banquet hall erupted in screams, and the women were completely mesmerized. Even a playboy like Wang Nianlin had never been this romantic.

"Too romantic, I wish I could marry him."

"Qinxue is so lucky. If he asked me to marry him, I would even be willing to become a fat woman."

The women were lost in their dreams, and even a few plain-looking women were swooning. No woman could resist this.

The lights outside came back on, but everyone remembered what had just happened. This level of romance had overshadowed everything else. Wang Nianlin had retreated into the crowd, his pride completely overshadowed by Xia Tian.

Xia Tian was also increasingly impressed by Old Master Xu's ability. Experience truly does make a difference.

Old Master Xu's actions today were completely unexpected. When Xia Tian received the message from Old Master Xu, he was completely stunned.

Ye Qinxue threw herself into Xia Tian's arms. Which woman doesn't dream of love? It's just that they haven't met the right person or experienced such touching moments. Ye Qinxue felt like the happiest woman in the world at this moment, and she wished Xia Tian wasn't her cousin.

"Actually, he's not bad." Bingxin thought to herself, "Oh, Bingxin, what are you thinking? How shameless."

Bingxin's face turned red. She remembered the first time she met Xia Tian. She was sure she hadn't exposed anything, but Xia Tian had described the pattern on her underwear. Combined with today's events, she was intrigued.

"He must have many secrets. I want to find out what they are." Bingxin vowed to herself.

The Fire Kiss girl, standing beside the two women, felt a storm of emotions inside her. She had never liked any man or felt moved before, but today, she finally understood why women pursued such romantic gestures.

She could see that Ye Qinxue was genuinely happy.

The banquet officially began. Xia Tian's appearance had left everyone with different thoughts. His grand entrance had overshadowed everyone else, including the super-rich Wang Nianlin.

At the same time, at the First Hospital of Jianghai City.

"What is so special about this guy, Liusa, that Liusa would come forward to protect him?" Xu Qinghua frowned. He couldn't understand what Liusa was up to. Liusa was an assassin organization, so why would they protect someone?

"Liusa almost never protects anyone. Unless this person is extremely important to Liusa, or he is a descendant of a high-ranking member of Liusa, or he possesses something Liusa wants." Sanzi said. Xu Qinghua didn't blame him for retreating without a fight. Instead, he kept asking if he was hurt.

Xu Qinghua understood Sanzi and trusted him completely. If Sanzi hadn't brought the person back, it meant something had definitely happened. Sanzi was his most important subordinate, and he never treated him as an outsider, even treating him better than his own brothers.

"The first possibility is low, so it means he has something Liusa wants. It seems we underestimated this high school student." Xu Qinghua said, "You should investigate him thoroughly."

"What should we do about Young Master?" Sanzi looked at Xu Shaocong on the hospital bed.

"Ask Old Master Wang for help. Although it's expensive, it's better than losing his life." Xu Qinghua's eyes flashed with determination. He never did anything that would cost him.

Ye Qinxue's birthday party was lively, and everyone had a great time. However, the main character, Ye Qinxue, seemed to have something on her mind and was distracted throughout the party.

After the party, someone offered to take Ye Qinxue home because she didn't have a car.

"No, thank you." Ye Qinxue knew these people were friends of Wang Nianlin. Although Wang Nianlin had been drinking alone during the party because of Xia Tian, they still wanted to cause trouble for Xia Tian after the party.

Xia Tian was dressed simply and had no place to put car keys, so they understood that he must not have driven.

"Qinxue, why don't you take my car?" Wang Nianlin approached Ye Qinxue and said politely.

"No, thank you. I plan to leave with Xia Tian." Ye Qinxue linked her arm with Xia Tian's. Whether intentionally or not, her chest occasionally brushed against Xia Tian's arm.

"He doesn't seem to have a car to take you, does he?" Wang Nianlin glanced at Xia Tian disdainfully.

At that moment, Xia Tian's eyes caught sight of a car in the distance. He smiled, took Ye Qinxue's hand, and walked over. Bingxin followed, and the Fire Kiss girl looked at them in confusion. They eventually stopped in front of a BMW.

A man in a Tang suit got out of the car and opened the door for them. They entered the car smoothly, leaving Wang Nianlin and the others standing there in shock.

Wang Nianlin felt that today was his most frustrating day. He had been embarrassed by Xia Tian time and time again. First, he said Xia Tian was poor, but Xia Tian's gift was worth tens of times more. Then, he said Xia Tian wasn't romantic, but Xia Tian sent 9,999 roses, fireworks, and lights.

Even his last attempt to find a sense of superiority by saying Xia Tian didn't have a car failed. Xia Tian didn't have keys because he had a driver.

"Damn it, I won't let you off." Wang Nianlin glared at the direction the BMW had disappeared.
