After I left home with a broken heart, my whole family begged me to come back

Chapter 104 Inexplicable hostility

However, Su Xu seemed not to notice Xie Chen's strange look. Instead, he looked at Lu Yuanyuan with a smile and expectation, "Sister Lu, open it and take a look!"

At Su Xu's urging, Lu Yuanyuan, who originally did not intend to open the gift in front of Su Xu, took out the box of the bag from the packaging bag and slowly opened it.

When the bag inside was revealed, Xie Chen almost swore on the spot.

This girl Su Xu is so bad!

Not only did she buy the same brand of bag from him, but she also bought the same model?!
Su Xu seemed to be completely unaware of Xie Chen's dissatisfaction, and continued to smile with her teeth showing, "Sister Lu, do you like it?"

Lu Yuanyuan smiled slightly, "Sister Su gave it to me, of course I like it."

As she said that, she asked the servant to help her carry it upstairs.

Although she said she liked him, Lu Yuanyuan's face did not show any sign of liking him at all.

The smile on Su Xu's face suddenly became brighter, and his eyes drifted towards Xie Chen vaguely, "Brother Xie Chen, where is your gift?"

Xie Chen looked at Su Xu deeply and did not answer.

Su Xu widened his eyes exaggeratedly, "Are you not prepared?"

Xie Chen shook his head, not understanding why Su Xu would do this.

However, since Su Xu had already given her the same bag, it would be a bit inappropriate for him to give her another one.

So, Xie Chen smiled, reached out his hand and took out a delicate-looking box from his bag, and pushed it to Lu Yuanyuan who was sitting opposite him, "This is a gift I made for you, I hope you don't dislike it."

Lu Yuanyuan's eyes lit up instantly, "Did you make this yourself?"

Xie Chen was a little embarrassed, "Well, take a look, do you like it?"

Lu Yuanyuan opened the box impatiently, and she was completely different from when she saw the gift Su Xu had given her before.

Inside the box are two wooden sculptures.

A boy and a girl.

The carving is vivid and lifelike.

"Oh, Brother Xie Chen, you can also carve?" Su Xu opened his mouth slightly, his face full of surprise.

However, those smiling eyes told Xie Chen that her surprise was just fake.

"I know a little." Xie Chen said perfunctorily.

In his previous life, in order to please the people of the Xie family, he mastered all kinds of martial arts.

It’s just a pity that his feelings in the previous life were misplaced, and no one ever cherished anything he made with his own hands.

"Brother Xie Chen, don't be so modest. You don't have any skills at all." Su Xu pointed out Xie Chen's perfunctory attitude and his eyes fell on the pair of wood carvings.

"These two little figures are you and Sister Lu, right?" Su Xu winked playfully, "They are so lifelike!"

Xie Chen didn't say anything, but Lu Yuanyuan couldn't let go of the pair of wooden sculptures, one in her left hand and the other in her right hand, as if someone was trying to snatch them from her.

"This is the first time in my life that someone has given me a handmade gift." Lu Yuanyuan's eyes were sparkling, and the look she gave Xie Chen was even more passionate and bold.

"I'm glad you don't mind." Xie Chen smiled.

A warm feeling also flowed through his heart.

It turns out that people who care about him don’t care about the value of the things he gives them, but only care about whether what he gives is true love.

Su Xu looked at the two people flirting with each other, winked slyly, and finally stood up tactfully, "You guys chat, I'll go find something to drink."

Lu Yuanyuan and Xie Chen didn't chat for long.

Lu Yuanyuan's birthday party began. Lu Yuanyuan was the protagonist of this party. Lu Li arranged a lot of programs for her, so naturally she couldn't stay here with Xie Chen all the time.

On this special day, Lu Yuanyuan wore a white evening gown, stepped on crystal shoes, and sat in front of her piano. "Welcome everyone to my birthday party." Lu Yuanyuan looked at everyone with a smile, "I am very happy tonight. I want to play a song for the person I care about most."

After Lu Yuanyuan finished speaking, her slender fingers moved across the piano keys.

Smooth notes flowed out from her fingertips, and beautiful music immediately rang in everyone's ears.

The eldest daughter of the Lu family is naturally multi-talented, but she never liked to show off in front of others.

Today was different and she was happy.

Xie Chen gave her a wood carving he had made himself, and that wood carving was of the two of them.

She must treasure this pair of wood carvings for the rest of her life.

The sound of music echoed in the hall, and everyone's eyes showed surprise.

In a corner of the hall, a middle-aged man in a black suit was shaking a glass of red wine in his hand while staring at Lu Yuanyuan's fingers that were constantly playing the piano.

"Such a talented woman actually fell in love with that unlucky guy from the Xie family?" The middle-aged man's gaze slowly turned to Xie Chen.

There was an inexplicable hint of hostility in his eyes.

After Xie Chen practiced with Kong Yun, his five senses became sharper, far beyond that of ordinary people. As soon as the man looked over, Xie Chen's gaze met his.

Their eyes met, and the man looked away as if nothing had happened.

But Xie Chen slowly frowned.

Just now, he felt hostility.

This man was hostile to him.

There is no hatred without reason in this world, and he was very sure that he and the other party did not know each other.

But why would the other party be hostile to him?
Xie Chen raised his head, took another look at the man, and memorized his appearance in his mind.

After Lu Yuanyuan finished playing the song, the guests gave her warm applause without reservation.

Lu Yuanyuan didn't care about other people's applause, her eyes were fixed on Xie Chen's figure in the crowd.

When their eyes met, even the air seemed to become a little ambiguous.

When Lu Yuanyuan stood up and wanted to walk towards Xie Chen again, Lu Tingfeng came over and whispered, "You are the protagonist of today's banquet. You can't always revolve around Xie Chen. You have to take care of other guests as well."

Lu Yuanyuan was a little unhappy. "I don't know the other guests well. You have to come for this matter."

After Lu Yuanyuan finished speaking, she wanted to run, but Lu Tingfeng grabbed her arm.

In an occasion like today, allowing Lu Yuanyuan and Xie Chen to sit there for a while was already giving Lu Yuanyuan face.

Now, in front of so many people, Lu Yuanyuan still ran towards Xie Chen. How would these guests view her, the eldest daughter of the Lu family?

Lu Yuanyuan's arm was grabbed. She struggled twice but failed to get free. She pouted and said, "Brother, what are you doing? Today is my birthday! Are you trying to make me unhappy?"

Lu Yuanyuan stared at Lu Tingfeng with an expression that said, "If you don't let go, I'll cry for you."

Lu Tingfeng really had no way to deal with Lu Yuanyuan like this, so he could only follow Lu Yuanyuan and walk towards Xie Chen.

If a man and a woman are alone together, people will talk about them, so it's okay for him to go with them, right?

Although Lu Yuanyuan was not happy that Lu Tingfeng followed her, Lu Tingfeng insisted on sticking to her and she couldn't drive him away. She could only hang her little face and let Lu Tingfeng follow her.

"Xie Chen, do I play well?" As soon as Lu Yuanyuan saw Xie Chen, her expression immediately changed.

Lu Tingfeng was extremely speechless. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that his sister would “change her face”.

Xie Chen raised his hand to help Lu Yuanyuan smooth her hair with a doting look in his eyes, and said gently, "It sounds nice."
