One out of four.
Murong Qiao’s gaze swept across the curtains in front of her one by one, first looking at the area in front of her on the left.
She reached out and touched the soft curtain, slowly lifting it.
Black and white colors entered her field of view, forming the piano keys in an orderly arrangement. The light streaming in from behind the curtain illuminated the black triangular item, revealing its appearance.
It was an extremely beautiful piano. It was quietly placed there, waiting for its owner to arrive.
Murong Qiao slightly widened her eyes, astonished as she gazed at the beautiful sight before her. Everywhere her eyes landed was impeccably new and perfect, making her even tempted to try out the sound right then and there.
“I didn’t expect the first one to be my gift.” Murong Chuan’s gentle voice sounded behind her.
Murong Chuan walked to his Little Sister’s side and pulled the curtain open, revealing the full appearance of the piano.
“I heard from the teacher that you play the piano very well.” His tone was brisk.
Previously, when he heard that his Little Sister had performed the piano at a school gala, he asked around and carefully chose a piano as her birthday gift.
Murong Qiao walked to the piano and pressed a key tentatively. She heard a crisp and pleasant sound seeping out of her fingertips. It was so pleasant that she couldn’t help but smile.
Murong Qiao subconsciously softened her voice. “Thank you, Third Brother. I like this gift very much.”
She did not expect Murong Chuan to notice her talent just by playing it once.
Such a meticulous thought made Murong Qiao’s heart ache, but she also felt happy.
“Alright, go and open the next gift.” Murong Chuan patted her shoulder.
Although he really wanted his Little Sister to play a song for him now, the other people’s gifts were still waiting.
Murong Qiao nodded and walked to the next area.
This time, she recognized whose gift it was at a glance.
The sophisticated and simple-looking equipment was quietly placed there.
There was a high-tech electronic screen and a matching platform. It seemed to be used for physical examination. Just one look at it made one feel that it was expensive.
“Second Brother’s?” she guessed tentatively.
Murong Qiao felt that other than Murong Zheng, there should be no other person who would give her such a gift.
Murong Zheng looked up. “You’re quite smart.”
“It’s for you to conduct physical examinations on yourself. It saves me the trouble of treating you if you fall sick.” He snorted softly.
Murong Zheng had high standards, so the things he picked were naturally not ordinary.
It could only be bought at a high price, and this was only available for a select group of people with status. It could detect most diseases in the human body and record the data of the changes in the body every day. It could almost be said to be omnipotent.
Murong Qiao smiled. “I’ll definitely take good care of my body.”
Now, Murong Qiao could accurately translate Murong Zheng’s words in her heart. She habitually listened to her second brother’s sarcastic tone.
“Happy birthday.” Fortunately, Murong Zheng’s blessing was still considered sincere.
There was less coldness in his voice and more warmth.
There were two gifts remaining.
Murong Qiao stood in the middle of the two areas and looked to the right first.
“Shua—”
The moment the curtain was pulled open, the item under the gentle light made Murong Qiao unable to move away.
The clothes with roses as the embellishment were neatly arranged in two rows in front of Murong Qiao.
Long gowns, formal dresses, women’s suits, even everyday tops, pants, and sweatshirts. Almost every aspect of attire was thoroughly considered and encompassed in the collection.
Whether luxurious or casual, the styles varied greatly, yet they all had one common point: they were incredibly good-looking.
“The Rose Maiden Collection,” Yan Xiu said.
These clothes were designed by him and were also inspired by Murong Qiao and the roses.
At that time, Yan Xiu had already made up his mind to give this series to his sister.
He slowly walked in and his gaze swept across every piece of clothing he had designed. Then, he turned around and stood there looking at Murong Qiao with a clear smile on his face.
Yan Xiu said in a clear voice, “It’s the set I designed for you. It’s exclusive.”
He looked at Murong Qiao intently and said firmly.
Murong Qiao looked at her Fourth Brother, whom she had the least contact with. Her eyes were slightly red, and her heart was filled with gratitude.
“Fourth Brother…” she called out.
Murong Qiao didn’t know what to say.
This was simply the closet of every girl’s dream, and Yan Xiu had realized this dream.
The last gift was Murong Chen’s.
The huge space that was covered was empty. There was only a platform.
Murong Qiao walked closer in confusion and saw a few thin pieces of paper placed on the table. At the end was her name.
“Yacht… ownership?” She caught a few words.
Murong Qiao looked at the papers in confusion. At this moment, Murong Chen walked to her side.
He smiled. “Compared to the others, I only gave you a yacht. I’m afraid you think it’s a little tacky.
I just hope that you can relax and go around to play. Don’t work all the time.” Murong Chen sighed softly.
Ever since Little Sister went to school and opened a company, she had been very busy.
Murong Chen only felt his heart ache. He didn’t want Murong Qiao to be so busy when she was still young. After thinking about it, he decided to give her a yacht to let her go out and breathe more.
Murong Qiao’s eyes were red as she sniffed, feeling that she was about to cry.
“I won’t.” She shook her head.
Murong Qiao looked up, her red eyes looking like a cute rabbit. “As long as it’s a gift from Big Brother, I like it very much.”
She couldn’t wait to be touched by these intentions, so why would she despise them?
“That’s good.” Murong Chen was also happy.
Murong Qiao only felt that every gift was very precious. Every thought contained in it was worth her careful treatment.
Still…
She looked around, her originally touched expression revealing a trace of doubt.
It seemed like someone’s gift was missing?
Xian Yu, who was being looked at by Murong Qiao, couldn’t help but smile. “You just realized, stupid Qiaoqiao.”
Among the five of them, there were four gifts. The one missing was Xian Yu’s.
“Don’t call me stupid,” Murong Qiao retorted softly.
She looked at Xian Yu with curiosity in her eyes.
Xian Yu pretended to be mysterious. “My gift isn’t here.”
With that, he held Murong Qiao’s hand and suddenly walked into the crowd.
The passing guests made way for the two of them, allowing Murong Qiao to see the stage revealed in the other corner of the crowd.
Then, before she could react, she saw Xian Yu jump handsomely and stand on the stage to take down the microphone on the stand and hold it in his hand.
“Today, to wish my Little Sister a happy birthday, I wrote a song for her alone.”
The young man on the stage had a bright smile on his face, like the scorching sun that shone warmly on everyone.
The accompaniment music gradually sounded along with Xian Yu’s words. It was light and gentle, and a lingering tune entered Murong Qiao’s ears.
“I will always guard you…”
The lights of the banquet dimmed, and Xian Yu’s figure on the stage gradually became stronger. The gentle and warm spotlights shone on him, coating him with a layer of golden light.
Murong Qiao stood below the stage, closest to Xian Yu, listening to this song that belonged to her.
It was melodious, bright, and rhythmic. The happy birthday song with blessings was also placed in it. The tune was changed by Xian Yu to be especially pleasant, making her unable to help but hum along..
