Qiao Xi felt a sense of relief when she saw Zhong Yi take back the gift.
Others would never give such excessively conspicuous and expensive gifts.
Only those close to her would present such fine things to her.
And Zhong Yi was neither kin nor friend, yet he would casually give her things worth several hundred thousand.
She felt it was inappropriate.
And because Huo Xingzhou also supported her decision to return it, Qiao Xi felt even more justified.
Little did she understand that this was a sincere gesture from the other party.
Wan Jiang stepped forward, cradling the purple sandalwood box in his arms as if he were holding a block of ice in the bitter midwinter.
He knew that at this moment, Young Master Zhong must be feeling awful.
Zhong Yi stood and said to them, "Now that the cooperation talks are over, I should be going. But President Huo really does concern himself with a lot of things, even such a small matter as his wife receiving birthday gifts."
