CHAPTER 769: CHAPTER 769 GIFT

"Sue, you’ve arrived? Please, have a seat." Carlos’s tone was gentle, causing one to subconsciously lower their guard.

At this moment, Qianxun gave him a somewhat shy and slightly excited smile, nodding her head, "Carlos, it’s been almost a month since we last saw each other, it’s so good to see you again." When Qianxun said this, her eyes shone slightly, seemingly filled with countless emotions, Mianmian indescribable.

Carlos knew that the love of Eastern women was always reserved and subtle, unlike the passionate and unrestrained foreign women, so seeing Qianxun’s slightly reddened cheeks and shy, evasive eyes, his smile grew even wider.

"Yes, since the day we parted, I have been thinking of you every moment, Sue. Have you missed me?" Carlos, who had been "flirting" with Qianxun for quite a while, asked such an emotionally revealing question for the first time.

Upon hearing this, Qianxun’s expression froze, then her eyes widened slightly, seemingly in disbelief as she looked at Carlos.

After a moment, she bowed her head slightly, then blushed and nodded, "Mmm, I haven’t stopped looking forward to our reunion, and I’ve thought about you every day!" Contemplating how to kill you, you old geezer, has been rather interesting. Should I leave you under the sun, or drain your blood, so you revert to a withered corpse!

Carlos was very pleased with Qianxun’s words.

The next moment, he said to her with a smile, "Come here and sit, have a look at the gift I’ve prepared for you."

Hearing this, a faint look of disappointment crossed Qianxun’s face, but she quickly perked up again, "What could it be? I’m really looking forward to it."

Carlos laughed lightly upon hearing this, "Open it and see!" With those words, he took out a rectangular box wrapped with ribbon from a cabinet nearby.

Seeing this, Qianxun took it with an eager face and then, under Carlos’s tender gaze, she pulled the ribbon and opened the box.

Once the box was opened, a complete set of emerald jewelry lay before her.

Instantly, Qianxun’s eyes lit up, "This... this is so beautiful!"

In Qianxun’s eyes, there was the delight Carlos had anticipated.

And indeed, Qianxun was satisfied with the set of jewelry. This old fellow had lived for so many years and had some fine things in his hands. Not to mention anything else, but just the huge gemstone on the necklace of this jewelry set was now worth at least a hundred million alone.

The price of the whole set was needless to say, and moreover, it was priceless.

However, after exclaiming for a moment, Qianxun pushed the box towards Carlos and said with a slightly uneasy manner, "Carlos, thank you for your kind gesture, but this gift is just too precious. I must decline to accept it."

She thought to herself: It seems this old man is ready to make a big move.

...

And just as Qianxun had expected, upon hearing her words, Carlos smiled gently and then said to her, "Sue, you’re simply too adorable. It’s just a set of jewelry; why not accept it if you like it? However, I was worried you wouldn’t like it before, and now I can finally be at ease."

Hearing this, Qianxun still waved her hands and then bit her lip, "Carlos, I know you mean well, but we are neither kin nor kindred, and even as good friends, I have no reason to accept such a valuable gift from you!"
