Chapter 620: Whats Inside? Its Quite Heavy

Happy birthday.

Qiao Nian wasnt good at such events. She didnt know what else to say. She pulled the brim of her cap down awkwardly and did not know how to express her well wishes.

Nie Mi took the gift and felt like the box had some divisions. He raised his head and asked curiously, Whats inside? It feels quite heavy.

Its nothing much. Its just a gadget.

Qiao Nian didnt tell him that it was a rough stone she had got from Continent F. Pigeon Blood Rubies were very rare. There were only a few rough Pigeon Blood Rubies in the world that were as heavy as the one she got for him. After she got this ruby, she had kept it for a while and was thinking about using the rough stone to design a necklace. However, she had been very busy since then and had not found the time to do it.

This time, she was attending Nie Mis birthday party. She looked through her drawers and decided to give him the rough stone.

This rough stone was more expensive than the small pills she made. Furthermore, she was embarra.s.sed to give him handmade products for his birthday.

After much consideration, she felt that this rough stone was the best birthday gift for him.

Nie Mi held the box in his hand and estimated the weight. He said, What kind of gadget is this? Is it some kind of paperweight?

He liked study rooms and Chinese paintings. He would occasionally show off his collections when he was bored. Qiao Nian knew about his hobby. Nie Mis first thought was a paperweight. However, looking at the size of the box, he felt that he had guessed wrongly. He let out a hiss and wished he could open the gift now. I dont think this is a paperweight. Its too small. Nian Nian, whats in this box?

He was only so interested in this gift because it was a gift from Qiao Nian.

He had received a lot of gifts before she arrived. However, he was not as interested in those as compared to the gift he was holding now.

He had accepted all the gifts politely and put them in a guest room dedicated to storing the gifts. He wasnt even interested in seeing them.

Qiao Nian kept her earphones in her pocket, raised her eyes, and looked at him. Seeing that he was very interested in opening the gift, she stretched out her hands to stop him. She said, Its merely a small gift. Its not worth much. You can open it later.

Nie Mi did not speak. He was already halfway through opening the gift. After hearing her speak, he noticed her expression and reaction. He mistakenly thought that Qiao Nian had forgotten about his birthday and bought a handicraft product for him. Since there were so many people present, she was embarra.s.sed to see him opening her gift.

Nie Mi himself did not have much desire for money. He didnt focus on the monetary value of gifts, but he cared more about who was the one giving him the gifts.

However, Qiao Nian was still young. It was normal for her to feel embarra.s.sed.

No longer insisting on opening the gift, he smiled helplessly and said, Are you afraid of what I will think of your gift? Am I that kind of person?

Thats not what I meant.

She frowned slightly, pursed the corners of her mouth, and said, Its not something expensive. You can just look at it later.

Nie Mi glanced at her and smiled dumbfoundedly. He shook his head and put the box away helplessly. Okay, I will listen to you and open it later. No matter what your gift is, even if it is just a blade of gra.s.s, I will not dislike it. Im already so old. Do I really need to receive an expensive gift from you to feel happy? Im already satisfied that you came to wish me well on my birthday.

He had misunderstood her intentions!

The corners of Qiao Nians mouth twitched, but she did not explain herself. She was only afraid that he would open the gift in front of so many people.

Some unscrupulous people might notice the Pigeon Blood Ruby and cause unnecessary trouble.
