Chapter 284 - A Heartless Gift
Gong Jue ignored Bai Lang’s twitching gaze and calmly admired the small object in his hand.
His thin lips finally parted at a slightly raised angle.
The gift Gu Qiqi gave him was a small and exquisite fragrance bag.
It was the sky blue color that he liked.
The color of the sky and the sea.
The exquisite thread was made of pearl-white silk. It could be seen that it was sewn by hand. It wasn’t as stiff and cold as sewing from a machine.
It seemed to carry the warmth of the girl’s slender hands.
What an antique!
With a slight sniff, a refreshing fragrance slowly spread.
It was neither greasy nor choking. It refreshed the heart.
Just like the faint herbal scent on the girl.
Gong Jue really liked it in his heart, but he said coldly, “Who wants such a girly thing?”
Bai Lang hurriedly chimed in. “That’s right. Master Jue isn’t a woman. Why would he carry a sachet with him? Hey, little demon, you did it on purpose, right? Which five dollar stall did you buy it from?”
Gu Qiqi rolled her eyes at him in annoyance. “Five dollars can buy the fragrance bag that I made myself? You can wait until your next life!”
Bai Lang curled his lips and looked guiltily at the word “Jue” embroidered on the sachet. It was so beautiful that it was dazzling.
There was no such exquisite customized service on the streets.
This time, the little demon was really sincere?!
Bai Lang was indignant. He stared intently at the sachet and tried his best to find fault with it.
Suddenly.
He sniffed it and was amused. “Hahaha, I thought that it was some fragrance bag or ambergris! Little vixen, are you mocking our Little Jue for being impotent for the rest of his life so that he has to wear a fragrance bag with ambergris on him? You’re so evil!”
Gong Jue’s lips that had just curved up immediately pursed into a thin line.
His gaze darkened.
Gu Qiqi replied calmly, “Scumbag Bai, you’re still bragging about being a divine doctor all day long? Your standard is too poor. Is that the only effect of the Ambergris? It’s also beneficial to the heart and can deter snakes and insects. Do you understand? Didn’t you see that I gave Xiaobei one too?”
Could it be that she was going to let her biological younger brother increase his sex drive?
Bai Lang, that idiot!
Bai Lang’s face stiffened after being scolded by Gu Qiqi.
He closed his eyes and sniffed carefully. He was stunned for a moment before his mouth opened wide in disbelief. “Damn it, little demon. Where did you get this Hundred-Year Ambergris?! This… This is too heaven-defying. This won’t do. I want to see…”
He thought that it was just ordinary and worthless Ambergris which he could easily get handfuls of.
He didn’t expect it to be a hundred-year-old treasure.
Even a dandy son from a pharmaceutical family like him couldn’t see such a rare treasure.
No wonder the little demon said that it was good for the heart and could deter bugs and snakes.
Only hundred year old Ambergris could achieve such an effect.
Curious, he couldn’t help but extend his hand to take a look at the Ambergris in the sachet.
However, when she opened the door…
“Take your claws away!”
The man reprimanded him without a trace of politeness.
He had long kept the sachet in his arms.
Yes, that stupid woman actually thought about him and gave him this small sachet to avoid bugs and snakes.
For a person like him who often traveled outside and patrolled remote science laboratories, it was very useful and lightweight.
Bai Lang withdrew his red hand aggrievedly. Could it be that Master Jue thought that he was dirty and didn’t allow him to touch him?
Damn it!
How hurtful!
But the bigger blow was yet to come.
Gong Jue put away the sachet and curved his lips coolly. “Shouldn’t we cash in the bet just now?”
Gu Qiqi raised her eyebrows. “You’re gambling too?”
Bai Lang looked like he had gotten the short end of the stick.
On the other hand, Xiaobei smiled and said, “Yes. Just now, Brother Bai made a bet with Brother-in-law and said that your gift was definitely soup stewed with ambergris. Brother-in-law didn’t believe it. He insisted on gambling and even made a bet. Now that he has lost, Brother-in-law wants him to fulfill his promise quickly!”
Gu Qiqi was speechless. “What’s the bet?”
Xiaobei pursed his lips. “It’s…”
