This is a set of Wang family's golden needles, custom-made for her!
"Do you like it?" Qin Beiting asked.
Yu He nodded, "How did you do it?"
To have a descendant of the Wang family, who no longer made needles, craft a set of golden needles exclusively for her.
"I told him that I wanted to personally craft a set of golden needles to give to someone very important, and asked for his guidance, so he agreed," Qin Beiting said.
He said it with ease, but in reality, it took a considerable amount of manpower and time for Qi Nanguang to search the mountains for the Wang family descendant. After finding the person, it took much persuasion to get them to agree to offer guidance, and only then did they proceed to craft the golden needles.
The entire set of golden needles was handcrafted by Qin Beiting. He had never done such intricate manual work before, and he wasted a lot of raw materials before managing to craft these sixteen usable golden needles.
"..."
So easy?
She didn't believe it at all.
Although Yu He didn't know what Qin Beiting had gone through, she knew that this set of golden needles was not easily obtained.
Compared to the pair of goldfinch diamond cufflinks she had ordered, this set of Wang family's golden needles was far more precious and meaningful.
"Thank you!" She gently caressed the golden needles, her eyes revealing unconcealed affection.
Seeing her delighted expression, Qin Beiting couldn't help but reach out and pat her head. "A belated perfect gift, congratulations on securing the direct admission spot."
Yu He looked up at him. She had thought Qin Beiting didn't know about this matter, but unexpectedly, he had known for a long time and had personally prepared such a gift for her without a word.
So, he hadn't contacted her for the past few days because he was in the mountains?
She suddenly felt her previous intention to deliberately distance herself from him was a little childish. Regardless of whether he liked men or women, with this kind of thoughtfulness, it would be good to be ordinary friends.
"The way you're looking at me makes me want to do something to you." Qin Beiting lifted Yu He's chin with his other hand.
Yu He was stunned. Just as she was wondering what he was going to do, she saw Qin Beiting's chiseled, handsome face drawing closer.
"What are you two doing hiding here?"
Ye Zi Zheng's fierce voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Qin Beiting's advance.
He let go of Yu He and turned around, only to see Ye Zi Zheng with his hands on his hips, glaring fiercely at him. Behind him stood Ye Qi Chen, his expression tense as he watched Qin Beiting, as if on guard.
Qin Beiting: "..."
Yu He: "..."
"Sister, we've already checked in. Here's your room card."
Ye Qi Chen stepped forward, squeezing between Yu He and Qin Beiting, forcibly separating them.
Qin Beiting: "..."
Ye Zi Zheng's eyes immediately landed on the gift box in Yu He's hand. "If you wanted a gift, you could have just told me. What if you accept gifts from strangers and meet a骗子 (pianzi - swindler)?"
Yu He: "..."
You really can't handle this one.
"Do I look like a 骗子 (pianzi - swindler)?" Qin Beiting asked with a smile.
Another future brother-in-law, he needed to remain calm.
Ye Zi Zheng appraised him seriously, then said, "No. You look more like a bandit!"
He just took his eyes off her for a moment, and you took Yu He away. Isn't that what a bandit does!
Qin Beiting: "........"
Ye Qi Chen felt the low pressure emanating from the man and nudged Yu He. "Sister, it's cold here. Let's go back to the room to warm up, then go for a hot spring."
Yu He found their tense standoff inexplicable and nodded, following him.
The four of them headed to the rooms. Ye Qi Chen had obtained VIP passes from a friend, so they were staying in a family-style villa with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and a private outdoor hot spring pool in the backyard.
Ye Jian Ming and Cheng Li Zhu had already occupied one room. The original plan was for Ye Qi Chen and Ye Zi Zheng to share another room, and Yu He and her grandmother to share the last one.
In his haste to find them, Ye Qi Chen hadn't paid attention to the room numbers assigned at the front desk. It was only upon arrival that he remembered her grandmother wasn't here, and since Qin Beiting had come, it meant he and Yu He would be sharing a room!
Yu He stood at the door of the room, glanced at the room card number in her hand, then at Qin Beiting, and finally at Ye Qi Chen.
"..."
You're really my brother!
Ye Qi Chen: !!!
"What kind of arrangement is this?! Are you being so stingy? Couldn't you have booked one more room?!" Ye Zi Zheng kicked Ye Qi Chen.
Qin Beiting's lips curved. "Since the rooms are limited, we'll have to make do and stay together for one night."
"No!" Ye Qi Chen and Ye Zi Zheng said in unison.
Ye Qi Chen: I don't think you're making do at all!
Ye Zi Zheng: Where are the limited rooms? Haven't you cleared the place out?!
Yu He: "..."
In the end, the room cards were exchanged. Yu He shared a room with Cheng Li Zhu, Ye Jian Ming with Ye Zi Zheng, and the last room was for Ye Qi Chen and Qin Beiting.
After the arrangement, Ye Qi Chen smiled and handed the room card to Qin Beiting, saying,
"Lord Qin, you and I will share this room. If you mind, you can go outside. Left or right, any room outside is yours."
Ye Zi Zheng nodded in satisfaction, thinking it was a rare good move by his brother.
Ye Jian Ming wanted to curry favor with Qin Beiting and revive his company, so he wanted Qin Beiting to stay. However, Ye Qi Chen's action was like challenging Qin Beiting's bottom line.
What a joke! How could the dignified Seventh Lord Qin condescend to share a room with a stranger?!
With so many empty rooms outside, weren't they better?
To their surprise, Qin Beiting's expression remained unchanged. His well-defined fingers took the room card, and with a "ding," he swiped it open and walked in.
Ye Jian Ming: Ah, this...
Ye Zi Zheng: "..."
Ye Qi Chen: "..."
They underestimated this man's thick skin.
Yu He frowned as she watched Qin Beiting and Ye Qi Chen enter a room together.
Who was it that said bodies weren't for everyone to see, and asked her to take pictures?
Now, not only was he coming to soak in the hot springs, but he was willing to share a room with Ye Qi Chen. What was going on?
Could Qin Beiting be interested in her brother?!
"Hehe, what's wrong? You..." Cheng Li Zhu saw Yu He staring at Qin Beiting's room door and suddenly felt a pang of worry.
Could it be that her daughter actually wanted to share a room with Qin Beiting?!
Yu He snapped back to reality. "It's nothing."
The two entered the room. Yu He first put the gift box containing the golden needles into her bag.
Cheng Li Zhu was taking Yu He's swimsuit out of the suitcase when she saw the item in her daughter's hand, and she was a little surprised.
Her daughter had always been aloof, giving off an air of coldness that kept people at a distance, and never seemed to care about anything.
This was the first time she had seen Yu He cherish something so much. It seemed to be a gift from Qin Beiting.
She suddenly thought of something and hesitantly asked, "Hehe, are you and Lord Qin dating?"
Yu He was stunned. Why was even Cheng Li Zhu asking if they were dating?!
"No!"
Her denial was so swift and decisive that Cheng Li Zhu began to doubt herself. Was her daughter angry because she was being too overbearing?
Or was she angry because she was separated and didn't get to share a room with Qin Beiting?
