Although Xue Ni was sitting next to s.h.i.+ Mo, she did not dare to sit too close to him. There was still a clear distance between them.

After all, s.h.i.+ Mo had a powerful aura and no one dared to act overly presumptuous. Being able to sit by his side was already considered a big deal.

Xue Ni was consoling herself that she was much luckier than the other socialites.

However, when she turned around, she saw Fang Mo’er sitting beside s.h.i.+ Mo, the edges of their clothes were touching.

When she thought about it, s.h.i.+ Mo had said that she should be called ‘sister-in-law’!

Xue Ni’s heart twitched violently. Everyone else had already addressed Fang Mo’er as ‘sister-in-law’, but Xue Ni had not.

“Brother s.h.i.+, this is a gift I bought for you from overseas.”

Just then, Xue Ni suddenly brought out a gift box and handed it to s.h.i.+ Mo.

She was the only one who had prepared a gift for s.h.i.+ Mo.

Everyone else understood what she meant and looked at Xue Ni and s.h.i.+ Mo.

In their opinion, Xue Ni was the most suitable person for s.h.i.+ Mo. After all, Xue Ni was a strong person, and so was s.h.i.+ Mo.

As for female starlets, they all felt that s.h.i.+ Mo would only be using them to amuse himself for a period of time.

s.h.i.+ Mo glanced at the gift before reaching out to take it.

Xue Ni looked at him expectantly.

However, s.h.i.+ Mo casually pa.s.sed it to Fang Mo’er. Fang Mo’er was momentarily stunned and subconsciously glanced at Xue Ni, whose expression had suddenly turned stiff. She felt embarra.s.sed for the woman and even smiled, “Thank you, Miss Xue.”

Xue Ni tightened her hands that had been placed on her knees and she forced a smile, “It’s just a small gift. I don’t know if Young Master s.h.i.+ will like it.”

Fang Mo’er looked at the small box in her hand. Under s.h.i.+ Mo’s instructions, she slowly opened it.

She noted to herself that the packaging was quite meticulous. When she opened it, she saw a man’s necklace lying inside.

s.h.i.+ Mo glanced at it but did not pay it much attention.

However, Fang Mo’er’s heart skipped a beat. She glanced at the jewelry hanging around Xue Ni’s neck. It was the same design as this necklace.

Could it be a couple’s design?

Fang Mo’er’s heart skipped a beat.

The others could tell as well. All of them stared at the necklace meaningfully.

Xue Ni ignored Fang Mo’er’s sudden realization and continued to speak to s.h.i.+ Mo. “Brother s.h.i.+, please try it on. It should match your outfit.”

This time, Fang Mo’er could clearly feel Xue Ni’s hostility.

No matter how slow a woman was, she would surely feel that this person was trying to s.n.a.t.c.h her husband away.

Fang Mo’er’s expression froze and she pa.s.sed the necklace to s.h.i.+ Mo. She pouted and said unhappily, “This is for you.”

She wanted to see what s.h.i.+ Mo would do.

If he dared to wear the couple’s necklace along with Xue Ni, he would be kneeling on the washboard¹ when he got home.

Fang Mo’er thoughts were angry as she secretly pinched s.h.i.+ Mo’s lower back.

s.h.i.+ Mo froze and lowered his head to look at Fang Mo’er. What was wrong with her? Why had she suddenly become so angry?

When he looked at the necklace again and looked at the one on Xue Ni’s neck, he immediately understood.

Alright, she was jealous.

s.h.i.+ Mo and Xue Ni had grown up together. Whenever Xue Ni saw something that he liked, she would buy one for herself as well.

s.h.i.+ Mo had never thought too much about that.

He had not expected Fang Mo’er to misunderstand the situation today. However, he was still happy to see Fang Mo’er jealous.

s.h.i.+ Mo looked at Xue Ni apologetically. “I’m sorry, this necklace doesn’t suit me very well.”

Fang Mo’er lowered her head. Hearing s.h.i.+ Mo’s words, she felt relieved.

When she was angry earlier, she had pinched s.h.i.+ Mo fiercely. Now that she thought about it, she felt that she used too much strength and her heart ached.

She secretly reached her arm back to ma.s.sage his back, feeling happy in her heart.

It was all her fault for thinking too much. So many people were interested in s.h.i.+ Mo. If she were to become jealous every time, wouldn’t that mean that she would become a constantly jealous person?

As long as s.h.i.+ Mo’s heart was focused on her, she would be fine.

Instantly, Fang Mo’er raised her head magnanimously and looked at Xue Ni with a smile.

To Xue Ni, this smile was like a blatant mockery.

Xue Ni suppressed her anger and looked at the necklace that had been handed back to her. Then, she said awkwardly, “Actually, I didn’t mean anything by it. I’m just used to it. Miss Fang, please don’t misunderstand. If Miss Fang doesn’t like it, I’ll change it to another gift.”
