Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He Miao and Jing Yan had just returned home when they smelled the rich fragrance coming from the kitchen.

He Chen put down his book gently and waved for the two of them to come over. “1 want to announce that you’re my biological daughter on the rest day next week. What do you think, Miaomiao?”

“Next week?” He Miao suddenly remembered that it was Morning Fragrance’s new product launch that day. She nodded with a playful smile and said, “Alright, let’s set it for Saturday then. Jing Yan and 1 don’t have to work that day.”

“Sure.” He Chen smiled in satisfaction. He picked up a necklace from the table and handed it to her. “1 asked the butler to buy this from the auction. Do you like it?”

“This thing is very valuable, right?” He Miao smiled in pleasant surprise. There was no intention of refusal on her face.

If there was a man in this world that she did not need to be polite with, the only answer would be He Chen.

In her previous life, he had loved to collect these beautiful jewelry for her. However, she had devoted herself to studying perfume making and rarely wore them, causing He Chen to be depressed for a period of time after giving her jewelry.

Thinking about it now, He Miao only felt heartache.

In this life, she would cherish every gift her father gave her. She would wear them every day to make her father happy.

Jing Yan quietly looked at He Miao’s smiling face from the side, and a part of his heart also collapsed. After a while, when the father and daughter finished chatting, he interrupted with a smile, “1 have something for Miaomiao too.”

“What is it?” He Miao asked in surprise.

What day was it today? Why were these two people giving her gifts out of the blue?

Jing Yan smiled and pretended to be mysterious. “Close your eyes first.”

He Miao did as she was told and did not peek. Behind her, Jing Yan reached out and gently held her long hair and gently braided it at the back. Then, he took out a jade hairpin from his pocket and put it on for her with a devout expression. “Uncle He, do you think Miaomiao is very suited to wear this?”

He Miao opened her eyes in surprise and was about to look for a mirror. From Jing Yan’s actions just now, she had guessed what the gift he had given her was. It was a pity that this thing could only be worn behind her head, so she could not take a look even if she wanted to.

Jing Yan smiled as he took out his phone to take a photo of her, then enlarged the photo in front of her.

A jade green hairpin with a soaring peacock carved on its head came into view. The workmanship of this hairpin was so exquisite that every detail on the phoenix could be seen clearly. It was so lifelike that it seemed to really fly in her hair.

He Miao liked this hairpin very much. She was as happy as a child who had just eaten candy. “Thank you for the hairpin you gave me. I’ll wear it well and won’t break it.”

The material of jade was really too fragile. He Miao was busy going in and out every day. She was really afraid that she would forget that she was wearing such a priceless thing on her head, causing Jing Yan’s good intentions to be shattered.

Jing Yan shook his head and smiled, not minding it at all. “My grandfather always said that broken jade often helps the owner block a disaster. If one day it really breaks, as long as you can be safe and sound, it will fulfill my heart.”

He Miao blinked her eyes in disbelief. She moved closer to Jing Yan’s eyes to take a closer look at his expression. “So our great President Jing is such a superstitious person?”

Jing Yan reached out to touch her cheeks in amusement. It felt so good that he could not help but pinch her again. “I’m not superstitious, silly. I just hope that it can really protect you for me. After all, I can’t be by your side all the time.”

He Miao laughed softly, and the bright light of the lamp shone in her eyes. “I know your feelings. I will be careful and not let you worry.”

“Ahem.” He Chen sat in his wheelchair with a cold expression. He could not help but cough dryly to interrupt the two of them who were about to get intimate. He rolled his eyes at Jing Yan with an unhappy expression.

This brat knew that he would miss his baby, but he still had to be sweet in front of him. Was this future son-in-law trying to anger him to death?

Jing Yan smiled bitterly and let go of He Miao’s face. He hid behind He Miao mischievously and whispered, “Uncle He seems to want to eat me. Miaomiao, you have to protect me first.”

He Miao had gotten used to the two of them being jealous of each other during this period of time. She smiled and patted Jing Yan’s hand on her shoulder. Then, she walked slowly to He Chen. “Dad, is dinner ready?” I’m so hungry!”

She deliberately rubbed her stomach aggrievedly. Only in front of He Chen and Jing Yan would she show such a cute and defenseless expression.

When He Chen heard his precious daughter say that she was hungry, he immediately put aside his jealous thoughts. He hurriedly asked the kitchen servants to set up the plates and personally led his daughter into the dining room.

Jing Yan calmly took a step back and went to the kitchen to heat up a glass of milk as usual. He returned and handed it to He Miao.

The family was having dinner happily. Xu Meng, who had been working overtime at the company until she forgot the time, suddenly remembered something very important that she had forgotten. She lay on the table with a wailing face..
