Yan Huai quietly listened to Yan Mo’s story of what happened yesterday. He shook his head and sighed. “The Zhang family really doesn’t care much about Qi Ying.”

Yan Mo also nodded. “That’s why I don’t think we need to cancel the engagement for the time being. We can talk to that child about being siblings first. We’ve promised the Zhang family now. If we cancel it now, I’m afraid it will be detrimental to Qi Ying.”

Yan Jiang nodded.

The Zhang family had brought Qi Ying back because they wanted to push the engagement to her. If they found out that Qi Ying was useless, they would do something unfavorable to her, so the best way to deal with it was to maintain the engagement first.

“I agree with Third Sister’s idea. Dad, what do you think?”

Yan Hong thought for a while and finally nodded.

“Xiao Mo is right. The matter of acknowledging a sister is still quite troublesome. We need to pave the way and wait for other opportunities. If we rashly cancel the engagement, I’m afraid the Zhang family will continue the vicious cycle. Xiao Huai, what do you think?”

The question circled back to Yan Huai. Yan Huai nodded. “Okay.”

The matter was settled just like that. Yan Huai planned to find a time to treat Qi Ying to a meal and talk about this matter.

Yan Huai recovered very quickly and asked Qi Ying out for a meal this weekend.

As Yan Huai’s recovery was not announced to the public, the two of them ate in the private room on the top floor of Jin Yue Restaurant. This place was very confidential and had a special shield.

Yan Huai told Qi Ying about them becoming sworn siblings.

Qi Ying listened quietly and nodded.

She had not thought of this method.

In her previous life, she had never experienced kinship. Most lone witches were orphans or people who had cut ties with their families. The emotional connection between witches was not considered kinship, but Yan Huai’s method was indeed good.

“I think it’s a good idea, but what does Grandpa Yan think? Have you asked?”

“I’ve asked. Grandpa said that because the Zhang family has just negotiated with the Yan family, the engagement can’t be canceled for the time being. We’ll announce this later. But don’t worry, I won’t do anything overboard just because of the engagement.”

Qi Ying smiled in agreement.

“Our family has adopted brothers and sisters before. We have to give them gifts. I brought some over today. You can take a look after dinner.”

A gift?

Qi Ying was curious.

After dinner, Yan Huai returned to the old residence for rehabilitation. Yan Huai’s private secretary, Li Huan, brought Qi Ying to the place to choose a gift.

This was a private club. The place where the gifts were placed was a spacious high-end suite.

Qi Ying walked in. There were already a few senior sales people standing inside. They had brought several rows of clothes and a few boxes of jewelry.

Li Huan introduced them to Qi Ying one by one. There were pieces from a hundred-year-old jewelry store, and a new design brand that was recently released.

There were daily clothes inside, and there were also clothes suitable for attending events.

“Mr. Yan heard that you’re going to attend a performance soon. You can choose your favorite gown from the dresses.” With that, he pushed out an entire shelf of leather bags.

Some were encrusted with pearls, some were inlaid with various gems, and some were made of good mink fur. Many of them were exclusive or limited editions that were already out of stock.

“These are some older bracelets. Mr. Yan, I heard that young girls nowadays like these. You can choose some.”

Qi Ying smiled. Many of the bracelets she often wore were ancient. She did not expect Yan Huai to realize that.

“Mr. Yan also chose a few pieces of jewelry. You can take a look.”

Her eyes swept over the jewelry. Most of them were simple designs, but they looked extremely good.

She took out a ruby necklace and tried it.

Li Huan hurriedly introduced, “This is a brand of jewelry designed by a new designer. The brand is called Enjiu. Their family has many top-notch gemstone resources. Although the style is simple, the raw materials of the gemstones are all top-notch, so the quality is also very good. This one is worth 50 million.”

Qi Ying casually put the jewelry aside. Although the jewelry was beautiful and gorgeous, they did not have much spirituality.

She chose an amethyst necklace. It was not as luxurious as the other one, but it accentuated her temperament.

After choosing the jewelry, the person pushing the clothes rack walked up and displayed various gowns in front of Qi Ying.
