To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

But the truth is, she has never had any feelings for Bai Zifeng, not in the past, and not now.

She did not deny that Bai Zifeng was interested in her, but she assured him that she had never had any feelings for Bai Zifeng.

"Bai Zifeng, that was just a polite remark. I would have said the same thing to anyone, let alone you. For you to ask me to make a promise based on that, don't you think it's a bit presumptuous?"

"Qingci, I know you still have feelings for me, otherwise why would you have that watch custom-made for me? It has my name engraved on it! You can't deny that!"

This is irrefutable evidence. As long as he holds onto this issue firmly, no matter what Song Qingci says, it will be in vain.

It's unusual for ordinary friends to give each other such expensive gifts.

This is a gift worth ten million. How could someone who isn't a couple give such an expensive gift?

Sure enough, Song Qingci's expression instantly turned ugly.

The others around them also had an "I knew it" expression.

She simply couldn't explain it.

She took a deep breath to suppress her anger: "I think there's some misunderstanding here, and I'll investigate. But Bai Zifeng, there's never been anything between you and me. What you did today has put me in a very difficult and embarrassing position, and I don't want it to happen again!"

Bai Zifeng's face also turned gloomy at this moment.

At the same time, Bai Weiguo was talking to Song's father: "Father-in-law, look how well the two children match standing together! I think we should take this opportunity to finalize their relationship!"

Song's father looked slightly embarrassed, then said, "Brother Weiguo, I feel that the two children are not familiar with each other yet, is it inappropriate to discuss these things now?"

He originally intended to mention that Song Qingci had already obtained her marriage certificate.

However, Song Qingci gave Bai Zifeng such an expensive watch, which made them a little unsure.

Even if Song Qingci now likes Bai Zifeng, they still need to get to the bottom of this matter to avoid a big misunderstanding like the one involving Xu Zifeng last time.

Therefore, they decided to let Song Qingci handle this matter herself this time.

Bai Weiguo frowned, somewhat displeased, and said, "Brother Song, the two children are clearly in love. Didn't they have a good relationship back then?"

Song's father gave an awkward smile. "Brother Weiguo, our child is getting older and has his own opinions. These days, arranged marriages and parental decisions are no longer fashionable. Let our child handle his own affairs."

Bai Weiguo's chubby face jiggled slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction in his expression, but he quickly chuckled and said, "That's fine then, but judging from the situation, you're definitely not going to run away as my in-law, hahaha!"

Bai Weiguo laughed loudly.

Jiang Jinhuan had already left the Song family's villa.

A night breeze blew by, carrying a hint of chill.

He stood at the doorway, watching the fireworks bloom sporadically in the night sky, but his mood did not improve.

Logically speaking, he would never have married into the family; his marriage to Song Qingci was a lie.

Now that he has a perfect excuse to leave this marriage without any obstacles, why am I not happy?

On New Year's Eve, families reunite and stay up all night to welcome the new year.

But he stood there, not knowing where to go.

He took out his phone, found Luo Qingyi's number, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed it.

The call was answered quickly.

"Jin Huan? Weren't you spending the New Year at the Song family's house? Why are you calling me?" Luo Qingyi's voice carried a hint of surprise.

Jiang Jinhuan was silent for two seconds, then said, "Qingyi, do you still have dumplings? I'll come over and eat."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Luo Qingyi's soft laughter.

"Yes, I saved some for you. It's chive and egg filling, your favorite."

Jiang Jinhuan's lips unconsciously curled into a smile: "Then I'll go over now."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jinhuan put away his phone and walked towards the parking lot.

He needed to get to Luo Qingyi's house before midnight.

That's the place he should be spending the New Year.

Warm and relaxing, without any scheming or rules, focusing on comfort.

Is it appropriate for me, who is not yet married into the family, to spend the Chinese New Year at their home?

Shouldn't that be appropriate?

Jiang Jinhuan had long forgotten about the Song family's affairs and was now preoccupied with going to Luo Qingyi's place.

Unbeknownst to Jiang Jinhuan, Song Qingci from the Song family had chased after him outside the door.

But she couldn't find Jiang Jinhuan anywhere. When she heard the housekeeper say that Jiang Jinhuan had already driven away, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

She immediately called Jiang Jinhuan, but no one answered the phone.

Song Qingci's hand holding the phone fell limply to her side. "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

At one moment, Song Qingci took a deep breath, and her eyes sharpened!

She glanced at the darkening sky and turned to go to the living room.

Then he went straight to Bai Zifeng.

Those around them unconsciously quieted down upon seeing this scene.

"Are they going to rekindle their old flame?"

"Really? Qingci has already registered her marriage with Jiang Jinhuan!"

"What if the certificate is fake? If it were real, would Qingci buy such an expensive gift for Bai Zifeng? She only bought her husband a piece of clothing?"

"That's true, could Jiang Jinhuan just be a shield?"

At this moment, Bai Zifeng wore what he thought was a gentle smile: "Qingci!"

Song Qingci spoke in a cold voice, "Bai Zifeng, give it back to me!"

Bai Zifeng was stunned.

The people around them immediately fell silent.

Song Qingci continued, "Although I don't know why this watch is with you and has your name engraved on it, I originally ordered this watch for Jin Huan."

As for the name, I will find out. So this form is not for you; please return it to me!

The atmosphere in the room became heavy and eerie.

Bai Weiguo, who had been smug just moments before, now had a gloomy expression.

Song's father, who was standing next to Bai Weiguo, narrowed his eyes but did not speak.

He had said that he would not interfere in this matter and that Song Qingci should make the decision herself.

"Qingci, you..."

"Zifeng, give me back the watch, or I'll have Xiaowan get it for you. I'll have someone remove the engraving on it. This watch isn't for you."

Also, I'm married. My husband is Jiang Jin Huan, and I've never thought about changing husbands. You should know what to do!

Song Qingci looked at Bai Zifeng with a determined gaze and gestured for him to take off his watch.

Bai Zifeng's face darkened: "Qingci, are you going to make a scene with me over an assistant? Don't forget our two companies' collaborative project!"

Song Qingci said, "Cooperation is cooperation, and personal feelings are personal feelings. They shouldn't be mixed up. If you want to use the project to pressure me, go ahead!"

Bai Zifeng's face grew even uglier; he seemed to have underestimated Jiang Jinhuan's importance in Song Qingci's heart.

"Bai Zifeng, give me back my watch!" Song Qingci spoke again.
