“It’s just a small gift; it’s not much. Ms. Liuyue, you must accept it.”

Chu Liuyue was silent as she stared at the gift boxes piled into a hill outside.

Small gift… Does Yan Ge have a misunderstanding of this term? Or does he think that Zhen Bao Pavilion has too much money?

But Chu Liuyue could only accept them in the end. Considering Yan Ge’s determined expression, she would be looking down on him if she didn’t accept them. “Then, I can only accept your goodwill respectfully.”

Yan Ge finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart when she finally accepted it. Only God knew that his soul was almost frightened away when he heard that his master was choosing presents for Chu Liuyue.

He never thought that his master’s rumored missus would be Chu family’s Big Missy—the one he had recently struck a deal with—Chu Liuyue.

“That’s great! That’s great! I didn’t expect Ms. Liuyue to have such outstanding talent. You really surprised me.”

At the very least, she had a trump card up her sleeves.

Chu Liuyue smiled and said, “What are you talking about, Father? We’ve relied on each other for so many years, and we have finally made it past the bad days. It’s my blessing to have you with me.”

Chu Ning’s tears started welling up. “Yue’er is right! Today, we should celebrate properly! Second Master Yan, please head inside.”

‘Inside’ definitely meant the more central location.

Yan Ge personally attending the banquet meant that Zhen Bao Pavilion was willing to stand up for the father-daughter duo. It was really rare for Zhen Bao Pavilion to do so with their current status in the Imperial City.

“Haha, Officer Chu Ning and Ms. Liuyue are the true hosts today. You two should head in first,” answered Yan Ge with a smile, but his gaze shifted to Chu Liuyue subconsciously. What a joke! How would I dare to walk in front of Master’s missus?

Chu Liuyue discovered that Second Master Yan was really weird today. However, it was not the time to ask questions. After seeing Yan Ge’s persistence, Chu Liuyue did not force him. “Second Master Yan, make yourself at home then.”

Yan Ge immediately agreed happily.

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

Something flashed across Chu Liuyue’s mind, and she seemingly nonchalantly asked, “Second Master Yan, I heard that high-level fiends have appeared in the hunting ground. May I know what level they are?”

As the indubitable top aristocratic family in the Imperial City, the Si family rarely interfered with other families’ affairs. So, why did they send someone over this time?

They had even sent Si Ting, who had the highest status amongst the Si family’s younger generation.

This banquet could be considered as the battle between the father-daughter duo and the Chu family. Everyone knew that they were pitting themselves against the Chu family by coming here.

Logically speaking, the Si family had no need to get involved in this situation. Even if they had to choose, they would choose the Chu family. Then, why would they…

Si Ting had already walked over in the blink of an eye. He first bowed towards Chu Ning. “Greetings, Uncle Chu.”

Chu Ning hurriedly said, “There’s no need to be so formal, Si Ting.”

Si Ting exuded a faintly distinguished yet distant aura, but his gaze was calm and actions appropriate, which people would not be uncomfortable with.

“Did… the Si family’s Master send you over?” asked Chu Ning rather hesitantly.
