Chapter 176: Huo Chuan’s gift  Gu Zhi and Ash looked at the gold, silver, and jewelry and were speechless.

Perhaps this was the world of the rich.

Yun Qing put a few rings on her slender fingers and smiled with satisfaction. “All these appendages. Why not adorn them all. Ten fingers can wear several rings.”

Gu Zhi and Ash quickly gave her a thumbs up.

The banquet hall was brightly-lit.

The guests came one after another, waiting for the birthday party that would light up the entire city.

As the lights dimmed, Yun Kun walked onto the stage first and said something from the bottom of his heart.

It was nothing more than a speech of how much the Yun family loved their little daughter.

Yun Kun’s love for Yun Qing was obvious.

He only had one daughter. In his heart, his daughter was his entire world.

His three sons had been most troublesome.

But nothing was going to touch his daughter while he was around.

During those three years when she married Huo Chuan, Yun Kun was so worried that he could not sleep every night, afraid that she would suffer.

Yun Qing stood behind the stage and listened to Yun Kun’s words. Her eyes were a little moist.

She knew how much her family loved her.

However, she had not listened to their advice. She abandoned her identity as a member of the Yun family and ran to Huo Chuan’s side.

After Yun Kun finished speaking, Yun Qing slowly walked out from the side of the stage, accompanied by lights and beautiful music.

As soon as she appeared, it was akin to the moon, surrounded by stars.

The lights made the broken diamonds on her dress shine even brighter, and her skin stood out in stark contrast, like snow.

Yun Qing exuded an elegant aura from head to toe, and all the guests could not help but be attracted to her.

Huo Chuan stood below the stage and looked at her, his eyes filled with emotions.

He had long knew of her beauty, but she had refreshed his understanding of beauty time and time again.

Yun Qing’s eyes lit up. She received the applause and cheers from the guests below the stage, and gave Yun Kun a big hug.

But soon, her smile froze.

Among the crowd, Huo Chuan was particularly eye-catching.

He was dressed in a formal black suit. His dark eyes stared at Yun Qing on the stage as they met each other’s eyes.

Why was he here?

Logically speaking, Yun Qing’s people should not have sent him an invitation letter?

However, Yun Qing did not think too much about it.

There were so many guests. If he was here, so be it. She did not intend to pay attention to him, anyway.

As they walked down from the stage, the guests came forward to greet and congratulate Yun Qing on her happy birthday.

Yun Qing smiled and responded to the greetings gracefully and generously.

Yun Qing was tired after a round of small talk.

Gu Zhi and Ash surrounded her and were about to spirit Yun Qing away when they suddenly felt an imposing aura. The three of them looked up and saw Huo Chuan walking over.

An ex-husband attending his ex-wife’s birthday party was already very eye-catching.

Now that Huo Chuan was walking toward Yun Qing again, many people looked over with gossipy gazes.

“Happy birthday, Yun Qing.”

He said indifferently, unable to hold back the myriad of emotions in his eyes.

“I’ve prepared three gifts. Do you want to take a look?”

Three gifts?

Yun Qing was stunned.

But soon, she curled her lips in disdain.

She did not want to receive Huo Chuan’s gift.

Not only that, but she also wanted to throw Huo Chuan’s gift at his face.

But Huo Chuan was doing this in public. Could it be that he had already seen her rejection coming a mile away?

Such moral kidnapping made Yun Qing even more unhappy.

“Let’s open it and take a look first. If she doesn’t like it, then she doesn’t have to take it.”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Gu Zhi quickly tried to smooth things over.

“That’s right, that’s right,” Ash agreed and pushed Yun Qing’s arm.

“If it’s valuable, then take it. You can even sell it for a good price.”

Ash whispered into Yun Qing’s ear.

Hmm… that would be a good idea.

Yun Qing smiled. “Okay, then let’s have President Huo open it and have a look.”

Hearing that, people gathered around and wanted to see what kind of gift President Huo had prepared for his ex-wife.

Huo Chuan winked at the three bodyguards behind him who were holding expensive gift boxes.

Yun Qing walked forward casually and opened a gift box as if he did not exist.

In the first gift box, there was a pure gold ruby bracelet lying quietly.

This bracelet had the flavor of ancient Egypt, and the craftsmanship was very exquisite. The exotic carvings and the dazzling ruby gave this bracelet a sense of mystery, bearing the full weight of history.
