This was also the first time that Xiao Mingyang spoke to a woman in such a humble manner. For her, he broke all his exceptions, and all of this was just because of her.

He always couldn't help wanting to care about her and get close to her. When he saw her sad, his heart would feel lost too.

After hearing this, Lin Yuqing turned her gaze back to him and told him everything.

There was nothing to say, so after she finished, she said softly, "I've finished my business, can you leave now?"

There was a pain in Xiao Mingyang's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He stuffed an exquisite little box into her hand and said, "Here you go." After that, he turned and left.

Lin Yuqing looked down and realized that what was stuffed into her hand was an exquisite little box with light blue packaging and the words "Happy Birthday" written on it.

This... Lin Yuqing looked up and wanted to call him, but his figure was no longer in front of her.

Bai Yilin, who was far away, had obviously seen this scene. She was so angry that her face turned pale, and her hand holding Xiangbin was trembling slightly. Why? Why did Brother Mingyang always help her all the time, no matter what it was, he helped her without regrets.

Good! Since you all like her so much, don't blame me.

Xiao Mingyang, you really want to help her, right? Then I'll make her look bad, and you're forcing me to do this!

Thinking of this, Bai Yilin and Mrs. Bai walked towards Lin Yuqing together.

As soon as she approached, she called out sweetly, "Sister Yuqing."

Lin Yuqing finally reacted after hearing the voices. She looked up and saw them approaching together. She stood up suddenly and smiled, "Auntie, Yilin."

"I saw you sitting here in a daze from a distance. What's wrong? Isn't Yiran with you?" Mrs. Bai couldn't help but ask jokingly, looking at her with loving eyes.

Lin Yuqing was about to answer when Bai Yilin interrupted her, "Sister Yuqing, I saw Brother Mingyang talking to you just now. What did you talk about?" After she finished speaking, she seemed to have noticed the blue box in her hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh." This cry made everyone around look over. She was the protagonist of tonight, and it was normal for everyone's eyes to fall on her.

In just a moment, Lin Yuqing felt that countless eyes were falling on her.

Bai Yilin took a step forward and snatched the blue box from her hand. Just when she was about to say something, she spoke first: "Sister Yuqing, is this what Brother Mingyang asked you to give me? What a beautiful box!"

"This..." Lin Yuqing bit her lower lip and wanted to say that she gave it to him, but her previous sentence stopped her from saying it. Xiao Mingyang had just been here, and if she didn't take advantage of the situation, it would definitely arouse her suspicion.

She couldn't let anything else happen until she figured things out.

Thinking of this, she nodded: "Well, he asked me to pass the gift to you."

Hearing this, Bai Yilin's face was filled with surprise. She bit her lower lip and held the gift tightly in her hands, bringing it to her chest: "Brother Mingyang is really something. He came here and didn't give the gift to me personally. Instead, he asked you to pass it on."

After hearing this, Lin Yuqing could only smile awkwardly and didn't know what to say.

Because it was a gift from Xiao Mingyang, Bai Yilin opened it on the spot. A pair of exquisite earrings appeared in her sight. Bai Yilin looked at the earrings with surprise and was so happy that she took off the diamond pendant on her ear and replaced it with another one.

"Hehe, Mom, does it look good?"

Madam Bai looked at her lovingly, smiled and nodded: "It looks good."

"Brother Mingyang is so thoughtful! I really like this pair of earrings." After accepting the box, Bai Yilin blinked, a sly look flashing in her eyes. Before she could react, he suddenly asked, "Sister Yuqing, what gift did you prepare for me? Yilin is so looking forward to it!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuqing came back to her senses with a cry, then looked at her at a loss.

Mrs. Bai also smiled and said, "The necklace your sister Yuqing gave you must be special." Because the necklace she chose was unique, but she ordered someone to make a second one so that each of the sisters could wear one.

"Really?" Bai Yilin looked expectant.

After hearing what Mrs. Bai said, the people around her began to look forward to what kind of gift she would give.

Lin Yuqing stood there, feeling uneasy as if sitting on pins and needles.

Her gift was taken away, what other gift could she give her? The one just now was given to her by Xiao Mingyang as an emergency gift, but she saw it and gave it away in Xiao Mingyang's name. She couldn't say that it was given by herself, right?

Besides, Madam Bai knew what the gift was. If they knew...

Seeing her standing there in a daze, Bai Yilin sneered in her heart.

I want to see how you get through this. Even if I can't bring you down, I'll make you lose face.

"Yuqing, what's wrong?" Mrs. Bai saw her standing there without saying a word, with an uneasy look on her face. She looked at her hands, which were empty, and she didn't bring any gifts at all.

Thinking of this, she looked around, then looked at her, and suddenly whispered: "Did you forget the gift in the car and didn't bring it in?"

After hearing this, Lin Yuqing looked at her and nodded.

Meanwhile, Bai Yilin was a little unhappy. She clearly wanted to embarrass Yuqing, but her mother actually tried to excuse her. Thinking of this, Bai Yilin bit her lower lip and said, "But when you came in just now, I clearly saw you holding a pink box. I thought it was a gift you prepared for me, but it wasn't, was it?"

Lin Yuqing raised her head and looked at her. For just a moment, she saw deep hatred in her eyes, but because of her eyes, she immediately hid the hatred and replaced it with doubts.

Hate? Yilin hated her? That was for a reason. Xiao Mingyang had canceled their engagement because of her. But...if she hated her, why had she been so nice to her before?

Now that I think about it, many things are just doubts and never bear fruit.

"Lin'er, it might be something else your sister Yuqing brought." After saying that, he turned to Yuqing and said softly, "Since the gift was left in the car, just wait until the banquet is over and get it back. It's okay."

"Thank you, auntie." Lin Yuqing looked at her gratefully.

"No need." A voice sounded, and then Bai Yiran came over with two gifts in his hands. He then handed them to Bai Yilin and said with a smile, "You are late. Did you make Lin'er wait anxiously? Yuqing was urging me to go back to the car to get the gifts just now, and you came to my door a short while later. How much do you want the gifts?" There was a doting tone in his words, and he reached out and touched her nose with a doting look on his face.
