"Ye Feng?"

"Ye Feng!"

Fang Qingxue called out to Ye Feng twice in a row, but the man remained dazed, clearly lost in thought.

"What... did you call me for?" Ye Feng had been reminiscing about his wild life in the United States, and now he asked with a puzzled face.

"Ye Feng, please dance with me!" Fang Qingxue's pretty face blushed. Countless men had wanted to dance with her, but this was the first time she had ever asked a man to dance.

Upon hearing this, a line of black crossed Ye Feng's forehead, and he said awkwardly, "Cough cough... I don't know how to do that!"

What Ye Feng said was indeed true. At one point, the highest commander had ordered him to learn dancing from China's top dance artists, but he had adamantly refused!

To him, dancing seemed too effeminate, especially the idea of a man posing and posturing on stage made him shudder every time he thought about it.

His bizarre opinion had been a laughing stock in the Shadow Group back then, and even the highest commander couldn't do anything about his stubbornness.

"So, that's how it is!" Fang Qingxue seemed slightly disappointed, but just as she was about to say something more, the music inside the hall suddenly stopped, and a clear, loud voice rang out:

"Everyone, quiet please! Today is our Qingxue's birthday. Now, let's have her open her gifts one by one and wish her together, happy birthday!!!"

The voice had come from Yu Chi, and as soon as his words were spoken, they were met with a round of enthusiastic cheers from the people inside the private room.

Reluctantly, Fang Qingxue, with Bai Furong and others, walked toward the center of the hall under everyone's gaze.

At the center of the hall, there stood a platform filled with an array of gifts, each more valuable than the next, enough to sustain an ordinary person for a lifetime.

Approaching the platform, Fang Qingxue took the microphone and said to everyone:

"Thank you all for coming to my birthday party! I am especially happy that one person could come—it must be the happiest birthday I have ever had! Thank you again to everyone!"

With that, Fang Qingxue bowed to the crowd, then put down the microphone and started to open the gifts.

The people in the private room were all puzzled, wondering who had such great influence to earn such significant attention from Fang Qingxue, and they began to whisper among themselves.

Upon hearing these words, Yu Chi seemed a bit stunned, then frowned and his gaze towards Ye Feng turned sour.

He felt that the person mentioned in Fang Qingxue's speech was most likely referring to Ye Feng!

It was not just him; even Bai Furong and Red Rose were taken aback. Bai Furong glared fiercely at Ye Feng, while Red Rose carelessly giggled and looked towards him.

Ye Feng was completely baffled, unsure why they were all staring at him; he didn't know who Fang Qingxue was referring to.

"Boss Li is generous, buying such premium Xu Wei silk skincare products. This bottle must cost hundreds of thousands! Geez, it looks like Boss Li is really serious about Ms. Fang's birthday gift!"

"Old Xu, don't mention me, the Gukaiqi diamond-studded ladies' watch you bought is utterly priceless. I remember that model is a limited edition from Gukaiqi Company, with only ten produced each year, and its value is no less than a million yuan!"

"Old Zhang is impressive too, that is genuine Janice skincare mud, rumored to be made from seabed algae mud and ranked as one of the top ten luxury brands in the world last year. That box alone is worth at least two million yuan!"

...

As Fang Qingxue opened each gift, the many guests discussed fervently, with some displaying pride for their more valuable gifts, while others felt visibly forlorn as their gifts were overshadowed.

In such an occasion, the more expensive the gift, the more face the giver seemed to have, and the more favorable impression they made on the Fang family, ensuring further cooperation in the future!

Moreover, the givers competed with each other, each trying to prove their wealth by giving the most extravagant gifts to outshine the others.

Watching the exceptionally valuable gifts being unwrapped, Fang Qingxue's face remained as calm as still water. To outsiders, these were treasures, but she had seen countless such items since her childhood and had long lost interest.

After Fang Qingxue had unwrapped all the gifts, she picked up the microphone, ready to thank everyone.

Just then, Yu Chi spoke up, "Qingxue, wait!"

His words caught everyone off guard. All eyes turned to him as he pulled a black, palm-sized box from his coat and handed it to Fang Qingxue:

"This is my gift, I hope you will like it, Qingxue!"

Yu Chi's words invigorated the crowd. Many knew that Yu Chi wasn't just an executive in the Fang Group but also a CEO of a multinational company in the United States with extensive connections and wealth. Furthermore, his adoration for Fang Qingxue was well-known, indicating his gift would surely be precious.

Fang Qingxue accepted the gift, thanked Yu Chi, and then opened the box.

Upon seeing the contents, everyone was momentarily stunned, followed by bursts of exclamations.

"That… That's the Gemstone King—Sri Lanka Golden Green Stone Cat's Eye!!!"

"Indeed, this one must be about 20 carats, worth nearly twenty million on the market! And it's priceless!"

"Wow! It's so beautiful, look at that luster. I can't believe such a gorgeous gemstone exists!"

"This gemstone isn't just a feast for the eyes, but also holds immense value as a collector's item, doubling in value every year! If sold a few years later, it could definitely buy a large company!"

"It looks like Yu is really fond of Qingxue! If any man gave me such a gem, I wouldn't just marry him, I'd die for him if necessary!"

...

One by one, the guests were extremely envious, especially the affluent ladies whose eyes glinted with covetousness, almost wishing they could devour Yu Chi whole.

Such a handsome, talented, wealthy bachelor was indeed the ideal lover of their dreams!

However, unlike the crowd's frenzy, Fang Qingxue was only slightly surprised, and then her expression returned to indifference as if the priceless Gemstone King was no different from an ordinary stone in her eyes.

Yu Chi had been observing Fang Qingxue's reactions. Seeing this, his face darkened and he felt extremely displeased!

He had gone to great lengths and paid a huge price to secure that gemstone, but in the end, it merely elicited a slight surprise from Fang Qingxue, not even a hint of joy. How could he be content with that!

His gaze then shifted to Ye Feng, his lips curling into a sinister smile.
