"Qianqian, do you have someone you like?"

He immediately became nervous as soon as he asked the question.

Yes, there are!

Yan Jiecheng's heart tightened, and he quickly pressed for an answer:

"who is he?"

"He is the older brother of my neighbor. We grew up together since we were little, so we can be considered childhood sweethearts."

Hear this.

Yan Jiecheng, who was originally feeling lost and sad, suddenly noticed a hint of loneliness and sorrow on Qianqian's face.

This secretly pleased him.

"Qianqian, is it him...?"

"That's right, Brother Jie Cheng. He bravely saved someone last year, but tragically drowned while trying to save a child!"

Very good!

Yan Jiecheng's emotions fluctuated briefly, but he outwardly pretended to understand and offered words of comfort:

"Qianqian, since things have come to this, one must learn to look forward."

"Well, Brother Jiecheng, things have come to this, and I still have to get married!"

Yan Jiecheng was overjoyed and immediately asked:

"Qianqian, have you ever thought about getting married before the New Year?"

So far, he is quite satisfied with the current development trend.

The only regret was that Qianqian wasn't as deeply moved as he had expected.

As for the bracelet, Yan Jiecheng did not give it to Qianqian along with the bicycle.

His father, Yan Bugui, had specifically instructed him to decide based on the specific circumstances.

"If we find someone particularly suitable and someone she really likes, it's not that we can't give it to her!"

Then she added:

"I just feel like I haven't completely gotten over the grief yet. Every night when I close my eyes to sleep, I still think of him."

"It's much better than before. I think I should be able to start a new relationship after the New Year."

As Yan Jiecheng listened, he pondered whether he should take out the bracelet.

If it were anything else, he would definitely give it away without hesitation.

But this bracelet is quite valuable, and what if it all comes to nothing...?

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Giving a Gift Alone, Half-Hesitant and Half-Accepting!

After Qianqian finished speaking, he hurriedly asked:

"Qianqian, what kind of person do you like?"

"I like people who are responsible, have a strong sense of duty, are ambitious, and treat me well."

"He knows what I like and surprises me little by little in life."

Yan Jiecheng was overjoyed when he heard this. Wasn't this clearly talking about himself?

"Qianqian, once you've completely overcome your trauma, will you consider me?"

"Of course I will, Brother Jiecheng, you're so outstanding. I'm just worried that you'll already be married by then."

"No way, no way, Qianqian, I will always wait for you."

Yan Jiecheng's face was full of determination, and he looked extremely serious.

Then he saw Qianqian playfully blink her left eye, stick out her tongue, and say:

"My brother told me that a man's words are like those of a liar."

He also said that men understand men best.

Yan Jiecheng muttered to himself as he searched through the items while assuring Qianqian:

"Qianqian, whether you believe it or not, I will always be waiting for you."

"Actually, my parents like you very much too. This is a birthday gift that my parents specially prepared for you."

When Zhao De saw what the gift was, his eyes widened instantly.

"Are you really going all out?"

He thought to himself, "Wow, that's impressive!"

Fortunately, I was highly focused and able to compete with you.

Otherwise, are you really planning to keep it hidden and not bring it out?

As expected of the eldest son of the Yan family.

In this situation, one can still make some calculations.

"Brother Jiecheng, this gift is too expensive, I really can't accept it!"

Zhao De, as usual, first distanced himself from the situation.

However, since Yan Jiecheng insisted on giving it to him, he had no choice but to accept it.

Yan Jiecheng actually had his own agenda:

If Qianqian accepts this gift, wouldn't that mean she's implicitly agreed to be his future partner?

My future fiancée?

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished.

Qianqian maintained her usual attitude; aside from a slight surprise at first, she quickly regained her composure.

Yan Jiecheng began to doubt whether the girl was actually from the countryside.

Or perhaps they simply haven't seen much of the world and don't understand the value of this gift.

Why can't you understand his feelings?

But he preferred to believe the latter.

"Qianqian, this is just a birthday present, not a token of love. Don't overthink it, it's fine, just accept it!"

Seeing that Qianqian declined again, Yan Jiecheng could only temporarily put aside the meaning in his heart.

If we don't do this, I'm afraid this gift really won't be able to be given.

But if I don't send it, that's even worse.

After all, Liu Guangqi will be coming to deliver a gift later.

Once Qianqian develops feelings for him, he will definitely surpass her in importance in her heart.

What if, at that time, Qianqian chooses Liu Guangqi?

I have nowhere to even cry.

So Yan Jiecheng forced the bracelet into Qianqian's hand.

Zhao De felt a little embarrassed doing so, and quickly put the bracelet back into Yan Jiecheng's hand.

After repeating this several times, Yan Jiecheng finally decided to put the bracelet on the table.

"Qianqian, please don't overthink it, it really doesn't mean anything else."

"This is just a birthday present. My parents know about it, and they won't ask you for it."

"Whether you accept it or not, I'm not taking this bracelet with me!"

"Alright then, thank you, Brother Jiecheng!"

Seeing that Qianqian carefully put the bracelet away, she added.

"Brother Jiecheng is really good to me!"

In that instant, Yan Jiecheng felt a surge of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Yan Jiecheng wanted to stay and continue chatting for the rest of the time.

However, considering that there are other people waiting to meet Qianqian later.

Including the time he had spent on this bracelet, he had already taken up an extra half hour of Zhao De's time.

Moreover, Qianqian looked exhausted.

Yan Jiecheng knew that he had achieved his goal.

So he wisely took his leave and left.

Along the way, Qianqian personally saw him off at the door.

Yan Jiecheng was very satisfied with this visit.
