Mommy, the wealthy daddy has come to propose again.

In the evening, guests arrived at the manor one after another, and Gong Chenxi and others were busy greeting them at the door.

Xu Zhou also came to attend Gong Wanwan's birthday party. He was the young man that little girl loved. Anyone else could be absent, but he had to be there.

"Sister Bai Ning, good evening!"

Xu Zhou greeted Bai Ning with a smile. He was wearing a white suit, the color of which matched his fair skin very well. His temperament was as gentle as jade, and his every move showed his dignity and grace. There was no sign at all that he was born into a poor family.

"Xiaozhou, you're here."

Bai Ning curled his lips and smiled back.

She learned the skill of making hand-made cakes from Xu Zhou. Although her skills are not bad, there is still a big gap compared with Boss Xu.

Xu Zhou scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "This is my first time visiting the manor, so I'm a little nervous. I don't know what the uncles and aunts like, so I made a low-sugar cake myself. Sister Bai Ning, could you please help me pass it to them?"

The "uncle and aunt" he mentioned refers to Gong Wanwan's parents. Looking at all the members of the Gong family, he only knew Wanwan, so of course he would only bring gifts for her parents.

Bai Ning nodded happily: "Of course, just give it to me later. My aunt likes desserts very much. What's more, you made it yourself, full of thought. I believe she will like it."

After hearing Bai Ning's reply, Xu Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense mood eased a little.

Before this, he had been very nervous, fearing that Gong Chenxi would look down on his small gift. But now that he heard that his aunt liked desserts, he was happy. He was still confident in his cake-baking skills.

"By the way, Sister Bai Ning, I also brought you a gift."

Xu Zhou took out a white gold-stamped gift box from his bag. It was not big, about the size of a palm. He estimated that it contained small items such as gold and silver jewelry.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't really know what girls like, so I asked the salesgirl to help me choose it. She said this one is very popular among young women. I hope you like it!"

Driven by curiosity, Bai Ning opened the gift box and what caught her eye was a pair of diamond earrings. The diamonds on them were very sparkling and looked particularly eye-catching under the bright lights of the banquet hall.

She looked surprised, raised her eyes and asked, "This must be very expensive, right?"

The diamonds looked to be at least one carat, and they were a pair, worth at least over a hundred thousand. Xu Zhou's family was not well off, otherwise he would not have worked part-time to earn tuition and living expenses. Could it be that he spent all his savings accumulated over the years to buy this pair of earrings?

Bai Ning stuffed the box back into Xu Zhou's hands and declined politely, "This gift is too valuable. I can't accept it. The tag is still on it. I'll return it if I can. I really like the cheesecake you made. Why not give me one as a gift?"

She quickly changed the subject, carefully protecting the boy's self-esteem and trying not to hurt him as much as possible.

"Sister Bai Ning, this is not expensive, just accept it. I spent a long time choosing it. If you don't accept it, it means you despise me."

Xu Zhou pretended to leave: "In that case, I'll just leave."

"Wait, don't go!"

Bai Ning quickly stopped me and explained, "That's not what I meant. It's just that this pair of earrings doesn't look cheap. You're still studying and you'll need money a lot in the future. You should be more frugal and don't buy me such an expensive gift. Even if you're willing to give it to me, I'm embarrassed to accept it!"

After all this time, it turns out that they refused to accept it because of the price!

Xu Zhou suddenly realized and explained with a smile: "Sister Bai Ning, you are wrong. The diamonds on this pair of earrings are artificial diamonds. I bought them in the mall. I bought them because they looked good. They are branded, not pirated. You can wear them with confidence."
