The gift was not seen by Zhu Minglang, but judging by the reactions of the surrounding guests, it must have been valuable.
Nie Qiqi accepted it with a gentle smile.
Unlike her wild kitten demeanor from a few days ago, today she presented herself with the grace of a Moon Fairy's daughter, modest and polite, serene and elegant. Even while happily chatting with her friends, she deliberately kept herself contained.
Zhu Minglang also brought a gift.
However, this gift wasn't suitable for public showing. After everyone else presented their presents, he would take Nie Qiqi aside to a secluded spot and give her the gift her late father intended for her.
Zhu Minglang already had his excuse ready.
He would say he caught this box made of divine Xin wood while fishing in a mountain stream, and it felt like there was something very valuable inside, so he decided to give it to her.
