Bai Ran revealed a sincere smile, "Thank you." Her gaze fell on the butterfly hairpin beside Bai Xiangxiang’s ear, and she said with a smile, "You’re still wearing this hairpin." Bai Xiangxiang subconsciously reached up to touch it, "This was a gift from my aunt, it’s my favorite piece of jewelry." She asked as if it were an afterthought, "Is this hairpin part of a pair?" Bai Ran recalled carefully, "A friend brought it back from abroad for me, it seemed to be the work of a quite famous designer at the time, indeed a pair, symbolizing the friendship between best friends. So, even though they are a pair, they are actually worn separately." Bai Xiangxiang’s heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her fists tightly. "Does aunt remember who you gave the other one to?" She had a premonition that the other owner of this hairpin might be the person Pei Qinghan pined for day and night. Bai Ran glanced at her, "What do you need that for?" Bai Xiangxiang smiled, afraid Bai Ran would detect something amiss, "Just curious, that must be someone aunt values a lot, isn’t she? Does she also have a beautiful and charming appearance like me?" With that, she held her cheeks with both hands and acted coquettishly. It had to be said, Bai Xiangxiang was quite captivating when she acted cute. Bai Ran smiled, "You also know the person, it’s..." "Uhm... Mommy..." Bai Xi woke up, rubbing her eyes. Bai Ran immediately dropped what she was holding and hurried over, "Xi’er, do you need to go to the bathroom?" Just as Bai Ran was about to reveal the name, Bai Xi had interrupted. Bai Xiangxiang was so angry she could hardly stand it. She wanted to rush over and slap this annoying child, who was spoiling her moment. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.ɴet Asking further would make her intentions too obvious. Her aunt was too astute, and she was afraid of the other party catching on. It looked like she would have to find another way. "I won’t disturb you any longer; I’ll be leaving now." With that, she left the bedroom. Bai Ran watched her departing figure and frowned slightly in thought. She understood her niece’s disposition all too well. After all the roundabout conversation, it seemed she wanted to know the owner of the other hairpin. The other one, she had given to Yun Ya. Could there be some secret hidden in that hairpin? It seemed she needed to have a word with Yun Ya when she had the time. He An sent Kang Jinxian back home, and they parted at the door. Just then, a Toyota SUV pulled up. Yun Ya stepped out of the car. "Auntie, what a coincidence." Kang Jinxian flinched subconsciously, burrowing into He An’s embrace as if frightened. Yun Ya was somewhat amused. It wasn’t as if she were a torrential flood or a ferocious beast. The White Lotus was putting on a more convincing act, look how He An doted on her, as though she was staring at some venomous creature. He An gently patted her back, "Don’t be afraid, it’s okay." After saying this, he didn’t forget to glare fiercely at Yun Ya. Yun Ya looked innocent. Had she done anything to anyone? Once He An had left, the two walked side by side towards the manor. Lamps lit up the path beneath their feet along the main road. "It seems future uncle trusts you with his whole heart, not bad." Kang Jinxian clenched her teeth secretly, "I will never let you destroy my happiness." "Does your happiness need destroying?" Just like a bubble under the sun, it bursts with a single touch. These taunting words made Kang Jinxian’s face turn uncomfortable. She took a deep breath and calmed down instantly. "Well done tonight, but are you ready to face Miss Ye’s retaliation? The financial and influential power of the Ye Family is beyond your imagination." Although Ji Yunya had turned the tables and thwarted Ye Xiaoxiao, she had thoroughly offended the Ye Family. Ye Xiaoxiao wouldn’t let her off, and neither would the Ye Family. The Ye Family was an existence that Ji Yunya didn’t fully comprehend. Let her prepare for the Ye Family’s wrathful vendetta. Yun Ya smiled faintly, "Then I shall accompany them to the end, and we shall see who the true victor is." Kang Jinxian sneered, utterly heedless of life, just waiting to see how long she could smile. Kang Jinxian had just gone upstairs when she saw Yun Shen coming out of the study. She paused, then quickly stepped towards him, "Brother..." she subconsciously reached for his sleeve. Yun Shen stepped back and said indifferently, "It’s late, you should rest." "I..." Yun Shen walked past her and headed downstairs. Kang Jinxian stared blankly at his retreating figure, filled with a sense of loss. Was brother angry because he saw her with He An? In the middle of the night, Kang Jinxian tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Finally, she sat up, donned a jacket, and turned on the light. She changed into the provocative lingerie at the bottom of her trunk, silky and transparent, revealing just enough to tantalize. Then, sitting at the vanity, she applied a meticulous makeup look, sculpting her eyeliner to lend a seductive allure.
