On the stage, Xia Ruoxue glanced at the brocade box in front of her. Her heart was thumping wildly.
She did not know what was inside, but since Ye Chen said so, it must be extremely precious.
“Can I open it?” Xia Ruoxue asked Ye Chen.
“Yes.”
The crowd was anxiously waiting for the big reveal. In a sense, they even wanted to know what was inside the box more than she did.
Xia Ruoxue’s mother and grandmother also looked over curiously.
Then, the brocade box was opened.
It was a blue crystal necklace. The crystal had a strange shape and shone charmingly when light was cast upon it.
From afar, it looked like a distant star.
Ye Chen had secretly bid for it at the auction so that he could give it to Xia Ruoxue on her birthday.
At this moment, Xia Ruoxue’s body was trembling, and tears had already gathered in her eyes.
Drip, drip, drip…
Her tears landed on the crystal.
Tears of Stars!
Xia Ruoxues mother’s eyes were already damp, as she too was well aware of the Tears of Stars. It was her father’s last work, and it was made specifically for Ruoxue.
She looked at Ruoxue’s grandmother who had already stood up, her body trembling as she walked over to the crystal.
“This is really the Tears of Stars,” Ruoxue’s grandmother said with a choked voice.
Xia Ruoxue had never thought that she would see the Tears of Stars again.
After the auction, she had tried every means available to find out who had made the winning bid, but the auction organizer refused to disclose the information.
This had almost become the biggest regret of her life, as it was her grandfather’s, Ding Yuanchang’s, last work, and one that was specially designed and crafted for her.
Whether it was the color, the shape, or even the material, all of them had been specifically and personally chosen with her in mind.
Her grandfather wanted to complete it at the last moments of his life. She even remembered him reaching out his skinny hand to polish it bit by bit on the hospital bed.
Now, the Tears of Stars had returned to her hands.
It turned out that Ye Chen was the winning bidder that she had been searching so hard for.
Xia Ruoxue raised her head, and the moment their eyes met, her gaze was filled with gentleness.
“Do you like it?” Ye Chen said.
“I like it! I like it very much! This is the best gift I’ve ever received in my life, bar none,” Xia Ruoxue said in one breath, feeling extremely excited and delighted.
She felt as if her whole world had become warm.
The crowd was stunned. As they were below the stage, most of them could not see what was in the brocade box.
However, hearing her words, they knew that the item in the brocade box was priceless!
Most importantly, Xia Ruoxue liked it very much, so much so that she was crying.
“What is it?”
“I want to know too!”
“Miss Xia, please let us take a look. I’m dying of curiosity.”
However, before they could say anything further, they saw Xia Ruoxue rush over to Ye Chen and hug him tightly!
Oh my god!
What were they looking at now?
The Xia family’s daughter and the Qin family’s young master were engaged, yet she actually hugged another man in front of so many people!
Then, before anyone could give voice to their disbelief, Xia Ruoxue’s next move caused their minds to go blank.
Xia Ruoxue kissed Ye Chen’s cheek!
F*ck!
Ye Chen was also stunned.
Although the Xia Ruoxue he knew acted differently sometimes, she would never do something like this in public.
However, it seemed that the icy goddess had now turned warm.
This was crazy!
From the corner of his eye, he saw that Xia Ruoxue’s mother’s expression had darkened, but she did not stop Ruoxue.
This situation persisted for five whole seconds.
Then, her red lips left Ye Chen’s cheek, leaving behind a faint floral fragrance.
“Thank you, mysterious auction winner,” Xia Ruoxue’s face was slightly red as she spoke softly.
Ye Chen was about to speak when a roar was heard from below the stage.
“Xia Ruoxue! Do you know what you’re doing?!”
The person who spoke was naturally Qin Yuanqiang!
At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot like an angry lion!
Who would have thought that Young Master Qin’s fiancee would dare to kiss someone in front of so many people!
Was Xia Ruoxue courting death?
Young Master Qin’s towering rage was not something the Xia family could withstand!
Xia Ruoxue’s mother finally reacted and hurriedly said, “Mr. Qin, there’s been a misunderstanding. My daughter is just…”
Qin Yuanqiang’s aura erupted, and she fell to the ground with a pale face.
Then, he pointed at Xia Ruoxue and said, “Xia Ruoxue, you shameless…”
Before he could finish speaking, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes.
Qin Yuanqiang felt a strong gust of wind on his face and instinctively raised his hand to shield his face.
However, the bones in his right hand were subsequently broken!
Not only that…
“Pa!”
A palm print now adorned his cheek as the world spun around him.
Qin Yuanqiang was slapped away. Then, just as he was about to get up, a foot stepped on his chest.
“You should be glad that today is Ruoxue’s birthday. Otherwise, you would already be dead. I don’t want your blood to stain this villa. Get lost!”
At this moment, Ye Chen’s eyes were cold and no longer gentle.
What he could not tolerate the most was others insulting the people he cared about.
He wanted to kill Qin Yuanqiang, but if he did that, Xia Ruoxue’s birthday would be ruined.
Qin Yuan wanted to get up, but he discovered that an invisible pressure was restraining him…
He could not move at all!
He glared at Ye Chen and said threateningly, “Do you know who I am? I’m from the Qin family! Just try touching me!”
“Qin family?” Ye Chen repeated.
“Yes, now you’re afraid, right? If you touch me, the Qin family will definitely not let you off unless you kneel in front of me,” Qin Yuanqiang said sinisterly.
However, seconds later, when Ye Chen’s voice rang out, his smile stiffened.
“What Qin family? Even if the head of the Qin family was here, the result would be the same!”
Everyone’s hearts were in their throats.
Was Ye Chen crazy?!
He actually dared to say such words about the Qin family?
If the head of the Qin family came, the entire villa might collapse!
A wave of anger rushed to Qin Yuanqiang’s head. He pointed at Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, you’re dead meat!”
“Oh? Dead meat?”
Ye Chen smiled coldly. He grabbed Qin Yuanqiang’s clothes and lifted him up. Qin Yuanqiang was a grandmaster, yet for some reason, he could not resist.
Just as Ye Chen was about to reach the door, he threw Qin Yuanqiang lightly and kicked him out of the door!
However, this was not the end.
Ye Chen glanced at Wu Xiangming and ordered, “Wu Xiangming, don’t let this Qin family’s dog live past today!”
