Divas Hit the Road 5: My eye-catching bag has my older sister going crazy for me.

"Can I just take a look?" Hua Qianyu said pitifully.

"No."

"Waaah, I'm so sad," she sobbed, her eyes brimming with tears and resentment.

Chen Ran rolled his eyes, thinking that this girl was just teasing him on purpose.

But seeing Hua Qianyu's pitiful look, his heart softened. After all, she was a child, and his sister at that...

He hesitated for a moment, then took the two necklaces and handed them to Hua Qianyu.

"Hehe, it should have been like this a long time ago. I knew you would agree." Hua Qianyu chuckled, took the necklace, sniffed it, and her eyes immediately lit up. She exclaimed, "Wow, it smells so good, even better than that perfume!"

"..." Chen Ran was speechless, feeling like he had been tricked.

He glanced at Hua Qianyu's excited expression, silently repeating to himself, "This is fake, this is fake, this is fake..."

"Wow, this pendant is even prettier, it has two sapphires on it, and they're huge!" Hua Qianyu's eyes sparkled as she became increasingly enamored with it.

"Hey, hey, that's fake, it's made of glass," Chen Ran warned, feeling the strange looks coming from those around him.

"Really?" Hua Qianyu was stunned, then her face turned bright red.

Chen Ran burst out laughing.

This girl's acting is terrible!

"You bastard, how dare you laugh at me!" Hua Qianyu pinched Chen Ran in embarrassment and anger.

Chen Ran dodged.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore." Chen Ran raised his hands in surrender.

"Is this pendant really made of glass?"

"Yes, this is made of top-grade sapphire, worth over two hundred thousand," Chen Ran sighed.

"Wow, so expensive!" Hua Qianyu exclaimed, her mouth agape in shock, her greed undisguised.

"Hmm, do you believe me now?"

"Uh, I still don't believe it. But could you lend me the pendant for a while? I promise, I'll only play with it for three days and then return it to you." Hua Qianyu's eyes darted around as she bargained.

"No way." Chen Ran shook his head. How could he not see that this girl was playing a trick on him again?

"Then what do you suggest we do?" she muttered, pouting.

"I'll help you put them on," Chen Ran said calmly.

"what?"

Chen Ran smiled slightly, grabbed the pendant without saying a word, and put it on her head himself.

Although this necklace is made of 620 glass, the exquisite gemstones it's set with make it look like a crystal-clear sapphire, exceptionally dazzling. Especially when paired with her delicate makeup and elegant attire, she exudes a noble and graceful aura.

"Wow, it looks so beautiful!" Hua Qianyu looked down at the necklace around her neck, her face full of joy.

"I'm glad you like it," Chen Ran said with a gentle smile.

Hua Qianyu looked up, staring blankly at Chen Ran. She had never imagined that Chen Ran would give her such a gift. Although the necklace wasn't worth much money, it represented a sentiment to Chen Ran. This was something she had never experienced before, and it warmed her heart.

"Will you come shopping with me tonight?" Hua Qianyu suddenly suggested.

"Okay," Chen Ran nodded.

He just happened to be bored and thought it would be a good opportunity to spend a few more days with Hua Qianyu and get to know the girl's personality.

"Yay, that's great!" Hua Qianyu exclaimed excitedly, pulling Chen Ran along as they ran outside.

"Slow down!" Chen Ran chuckled and followed.

"I'm going to buy the latest bags and dresses!" Hua Qianyu said excitedly.

"Okay." Chen Ran smiled indulgently, letting Hua Qianyu drag him towards the mall.

Night quietly falls, and the city lights begin to twinkle.

The city is bustling and lively.

Chen Ran accompanied Hua Qianyu shopping all day, and the two made quite a haul, buying a lot of clothes and jewelry. They even came across a designer store, where Hua Qianyu generously swiped her card.

This girl has enough pocket money to squander for a lifetime.

All of these things were gifts from Chen Ran.

"Wawa, thank you." During the car ride, Hua Qianyu suddenly leaned close to Chen Ran and whispered.

"It's alright." Chen Ran shook his head, Hua Qianyu's pretty face appearing before his eyes. He felt a pang of pity and patted her head.

"By the way, are you free these days? My grandfather's birthday is coming up, and you'll have to come with me to the banquet..." Hua Qianyu blinked, asking expectantly.

"I'll go with you," Chen Ran readily agreed, then added, "Remember, don't do anything reckless."

"Yes, I understand." Hua Qianyu nodded obediently, a sweet smile on her face.

Chen Ran smiled and rubbed her little head.

He knew that this girl wasn't as lively and cheerful as she seemed on the surface. Over the years, he had vaguely heard many rumors that she had been bullied before, but she had stubbornly endured it.

She was unwilling to talk about it, unwilling to ask for help.

Chen Ran knew that she was actually quite proud at heart and didn't want to rely on others.

Chen Ran was also willing to shield her from the wind and rain and protect the happiness she possessed.

They returned to the Chen residence.

"Hey, Little Fish, you're back!" Wu Qing skipped over. She was wearing a white dress today, looking pure and beautiful.

"Mmm, Sister Qingqing." Hua Qianyu nodded, a little reserved. After all, she had been mischievous and naughty before, and would throw a tantrum if she angered someone.

This time, Wu Qing didn't scold her; instead, she gently reminded her to be careful.

"Hehe, Sister Qingqing is getting kinder and kinder," Hua Qianyu said with a smile.

"Keep talking nonsense," Wu Qing said angrily, then ignored her.

"By the way, Sister Qingqing, has Uncle Chen returned?" Chen Ran asked.

“Your uncle came back yesterday,” Wu Qing said while preparing the meal. “He’s busy right now.”

"Oh." Chen Ran raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Hua Qianyu noticed Chen Ran's unusual behavior and asked in confusion.

"It's alright, let's eat." Chen Ran waved his hand.

……

After dinner, Chen Ran accompanied Hua Qianyu for a walk in the courtyard.

During this time, he had been spending time with Chen Musheng and the others, while Hua Qianyu had been with Chen Ran and hadn't had a chance to leave the house. Now that she had the opportunity, she certainly wouldn't let it pass.

As they chatted, the conversation turned to everything that had happened to Hua Qianyu at school over the past two weeks.

"Sigh." When these things were mentioned, Hua Qianyu gave a bitter smile.

Although she was mischievous and naughty, she also had her own sense of pride.

In her opinion, she was able to get into Jiangcheng No. 1 High School entirely because of her grandfather.

Without Hua Qianliu, even if she studied hard, she would never have been able to get into Jiangcheng No. 1 High School.

This world is just that realistic; there are too many things that require enormous effort to obtain.

She felt somewhat downcast, a little wronged, and even more indignant.

"Brother, why is it that some girls are prettier than me, but their grades aren't as good? Why do they have to suffer all the ridicule and sarcasm, while I've done nothing wrong? Why are they so envious and jealous?" she suddenly asked, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Who told you to be so pretty?" Chen Ran chuckled, reaching out to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

"But there's nothing wrong with me being pretty."

"Everyone has their own destiny." Chen Ran gently stroked her hair and smiled.

"Brother, is my fate also in someone else's hands?" she asked earnestly, tilting her head back.

"Silly girl, everyone's fate is determined by themselves. No matter how others try to control it, they can't change it," Chen Ran said with a smile.

Hua Qianyu seemed to understand, but not quite; she just felt the words were profound. However, she believed that her destiny was definitely in her own hands.

Because she is a princess of the Chen family, she has every right to choose her own happiness.

"By the way, brother, I'm planning to move to your room tomorrow so I can take care of you." After a moment, she changed the subject.

"Mm." Chen Ran nodded gently, without refusing.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Girl, what do you usually do besides your homework?"

Hua Qianyu pondered for a moment, then said, "I found an internet cafe near the school, learned to play ranked games, and also joined a tennis club."
