Chapter 323 - No Gift For Me?

"Huh?"

"What happened?"

Ye Qian asked before Yuan Meng could ask her.

Ji felt warm in her heart knowing that Ye Qian was worried for her and smiled.

"Those donkeys went on coming and I had to talk to each one of them and stand all the time."

She said with a saddened face and clutched her calves which were still aching.

"SIGH"

Ye Qian sighed and didn't say anything further, he would help her in a way, but not he felt that this would be too embarrassing for her since she was from such a big family and being touched by him would definitely seem weird.

And that was without the fact that there was Yuan Meng, he didn't want to make her feel sad that he was worried for Ji when he was in a relationship with her, but he didn't think of Ji in that way, but he could say it as well.

Ren and Rong had told him that he must under no circumstances get close to any other girl if Ye Qian didn't want to lose Yuan Meng.

They told him that this would make her displeased and would make their relationship bad.

So he didn't dare to ask either.

Yuan Meng looked at Ye Qian's face filled with worry and understood that maybe he wanted to help Ji but with his expression as he looked, she knew that he was too embarrassed and even afraid of helping Ji.

She smiled and shook her head.

"Don't worry, I will help you apply for some pain relief at the night."

"Hmm."

Ji nodded and continued to eat while ordering the waiter to get a few more dishes on their table.

Soon their whole table was filled with many delicacies and fine sweets which would make one think of it as a piece of art.

That was understandable since Ji had been starving since afternoon, and was not even given the time to have her lunch.

"Here let me feed you."

Yuan Meng took the spoon from her hand and carefully wiped her lips with the tissue and started to help her.

"Thank you Big Sister."

Ye Qian continued to eat by himself with a smile on his lips as he saw Yuan Meng and Ji behaving like real sisters.

If he didn't know that they were "FRIENDS", he might have confused them for being close sisters.

Meanwhile, all the people in the party were staring at Yuan Meng and Ji with somewhat disbelief in their eyes.

To them, it was definitely a bad thing to be close to people like Yuan Meng and Ye Qian.

And though Yuan Meng looked extremely beautiful and even emitted a charm and had made them be in awe, that was all they could think of her because of her beauty and nothing else.

To them, if she was with Ye Qian then that meant she would also be a Country Bumpkin similar to Ye Qian.

And though they were interested in her that didn't mean that they would have any use to her other than her beauty.

But Ji was so close to her and was even eating what she was feeding her.

It was a bit disgraceful for them in a sense.

But to Ji, she felt completely different.

For her, she had gone back to the time when she was 5 years old and her Big Sister would feed her with her own hand and tell stories to her within reading some books albeit with her not so frequent spellings.

After about 20 minutes of eating, Ji was full and grinned at Yuan Meng while extending her hand.

"Big Sister where is my gift?"

"Haha, you are still the sam...."

Yuan Meng chuckled and was about to say when she stopped.

Ye Qian was still with them, if she were to spill out something then it would make a big wall in their relationship.

She knew that he was a simple-minded guy and only he knew how did he even get the courage to propose to her, but she didn't want him to know of her background as she wanted to marry him have a family.

So to her, she didn't want Ye Qian to know of her family or anything else.

Not that her so-called family even had a place in her heart after her Grandpa died.

But knowing how Ye Qian was, he would definitely feel pressured if he were to know of any of this.

And the least she wanted to lose now was Ye Qian.

He was just like a husband whom she had always dreamed of.

She looked at Ye Qian's face with a smile and something reverberated in her mind and heart which made her heart red and fill with tears.

"Mengmeng are you fine?"

Ye Qian stood up and got close to her seeing that her eyes were red and she seemed to be crying.

"No, it was just some pepper powder."

With a smile, Yuan Meng waved her hand and took a tissue and wiped her tears off.

"Little girl, you already have so many, do you still need a gift from me?"

With a glaring look, she pointed at the table where hundreds of girls were still placed.

"Ahh Big Sister, they are of no use to me."

"Are you saying that you don't want to give me a gift today?"

She asked with a slight pout.

Yuan Meng shook her head and took a small bag made of silk from her pocket and started to untie the knot on it in front of Ji.

"Here, don't act like a grumpy little girl now."

A gentle smile appeared on her lips and she started to remove something from the silk bag.

Ji's eyes were wide open as she stared at Yuan Meng wondering as to what she had brought for her.

She was eagerly waiting with her eyes shining with light as she stared at the small silk bag which her Big Sister had brought.
