After sending off Qin Zifeng, Yan Bin received a call from home. He initially thought it would be about the usual pressure to get married and have children, but it was actually about returning for the vacation ball. Moreover, his parents’ tone was very amiable, urging him to come home. Yan Bin thought perhaps they were trying to stall him, but when his grandfather spoke on the call, Yan Bin agreed to go.
His grandfather was still very fond of him. They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and Yan Bin missed him, so he happily agreed.
Upon returning to the living room, he saw Tang Wanwan worrying, "Ah, will my cold be better before the ball? I have to look presentable."
"Then take your medicine obediently!" Yan Bin grumbled.
"I thought you’d tell me to drink more hot water." Tang Wanwan clicked her tongue.
"With your condition, hot water won’t suffice; you’d need to drink lava." Yan Bin rolled his eyes at Tang Wanwan.
"You stinky little brother!" Tang Wanwan’s hands itched to hit him.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. But this time my family is holding a ball earlier than usual. Are they planning to set me up on a date?" Yan Bin wondered.
"Look at your own face." Tang Wanwan rolled her eyes.
Yan Bin touched his face, even more puzzled, "What is it?"
"Do you have a big face?" Tang Wanwan scoffed.
"You silly Tang Wanwan, what kind of talk is that?" Yan Bin glared at Tang Wanwan, "I’m just joking!" Yan Bin cautiously glanced at Dong Xiao, but Dong Xiao was focused on the phone and didn’t notice their conversation. Yan Bin sighed in his heart, oh dear, when will you ever cherish me?
"Elder sister Tian, let’s go to the ball together." Tang Wanwan dashed to Tianmiao’s side, acting coy.
"Of course, I’m also invited." Tianmiao laughed.
"Ah? The Yan Family invited you too?" Tang Wanwan was a bit surprised. She seemed to have never seen Tianmiao interacting with the Yan Family. Only with Yan Bin, right?
"Yes, they invited me as well." Tianmiao put her phone away, "The vacation ball is supposed to be different this time. Though I haven’t attended your balls before, I’m quite looking forward to it."
"Different from before?" Tang Wanwan frowned slightly, thinking about whether the invitation mentioned this point or not. Maybe it did, maybe it didn’t? Anyway, let’s enjoy it first.
"Just in time, maybe Qin Zifeng will bring his little girlfriend with him. We can gather on the yacht." Yan Bin clapped his hands together, "Tang Wanwan, how about bringing some of your family’s good wine along?"
"My grandpa would kill me." Tang Wanwan glared at Yan Bin, then grinned mischievously, "But bringing one or two bottles should be fine, hehe."
...
Three days later, Tianmiao got up, sitting by the bed, playing with a transparent, large pink diamond in her hand. This diamond, called My Heart Will Go On, was found over a hundred years ago by a jeweler for his beloved wife. However, on the voyage home, a storm struck, and the ship was destroyed, taking lives. Later, the diamond was salvaged and sent to the jeweler’s wife, who became melancholic looking at it, soon passing away from depression. The diamond was then sold off by their descendants.
The diamond Tang Wanwan asked Qin Zifeng for was precisely this. Qin Zifeng purchased it at a normal price, as no one would want to offend the future Sect Leader of the Qin Family over a diamond.
