Jian Anning receives a mysterious gift, a coral carving of "Harmony for a Hundred Years," which she recognizes as an heirloom from her mother, Jian Panying. She sends servants to find her mother, but another mysterious person arrives with a second gift.

Everyone gathered around to take a look.

And this time, inside the box, was a pair of adorable Little Sweet Potatoes, made from the finest jade, meticulously carved!

Sending this on such a day was rather strange. Logically, Little Sweet Potato’s first birthday banquet was celebrated not long ago, and it would have been appropriate to give this on that occasion. But nothing was given then, and now on their wedding day, they found out about it and sent this gift; it was truly odd!

But only Jian Anning understood the meaning of the gift—because this pair of jade Little Sweet Potatoes was from Situ Xuan!

Only Situ Xuan, who sent a message to congratulate her on the birth of her children, and also expressed a desire to come to Yancheng to see the two little ones in person. That message caused Yu Zexiao to have quite a disagreement with her—why was that jerk still keeping an eye on them after their children were born?

It is said that Yu Zexiao personally used her phone to say a few words to Situ Xuan, roughly meaning, "Thank you for your blessings, I also wish you find someone you like soon and have two kids quickly." Ever since receiving that call, Situ Xuan never contacted her again and disappeared without a trace.

This time, he must have gone through many inquiries to find out about her wedding, but feeling it inappropriate to attend in person, he sent the gift under the pretext of giving something to the children.

Jian Anning held the pair of jade pieces, overwhelmed with mixed emotions. In truth, Situ Xuan was quite good to her. She fled from their wedding, and later he came across the ocean to find her. They almost got together, yet she stood him up. Although he almost... but he did save her life once.

In the end, she owed him more.

Of course, she couldn’t let Yu Zexiao see this gift.

She closed the box and asked again, "Did the person who left the gift say anything?"

The servant shook their head, "No, he left quite swiftly. But later, one of our people caught up and saw him driving a Bentley, in his thirties, quite the distinguished type."

Jian Anning nodded, "I see, thank you."

As the servant left, they shook their head, thinking, "These days, is it common to give gifts like this? Guess who I am?"

The people around, observing Jian Anning’s expression, suspected that the gift-giver shared some sort of history with her, and wisely refrained from asking. Only the foodie, Mo Yangyang, scampered over, tiptoed to take a peek, then scrunched up his face with disdain, "Can’t eat it! Don’t want it!"

Just then, the noise outside grew louder; it must be the bridegroom’s party arriving.

Everyone was quite pleased, but Mu Qingyu shook her head, "Hey, I like the vintage wedding, but there’s one downside—we can’t just openly demand red envelopes!"

If it were a Western-style wedding, they could block the door, and Yu Zexiao wouldn’t even think about getting near the bride without shelling out a bloody fortune!

"What’s the worry? If he wants the bride, the rule here is he must give red envelopes!" Luo Qingxue grinned at the commotion outside and sent a few kids out first, "En’en, as soon as you see your Uncle Yu, hug his leg and ask for a red envelope! Don’t let go until you get the money, understand?"

Mu Shang’en blinked and nodded, while Zhao Ziyin similarly instructed her son, "Yangyang, you too, when you see your Uncle Yu, don’t be shy, be sure to ask him for money! The more you get, the more candy you can buy!"
