Chapter 72: CH 68

“Ah, my secret to skincare is to have a good mood. When you feel good, your complexion will naturally be better.” Doris continued with a bright smile, “You young people should try to keep a good mood at all times.”

Heller smiled, “I see. I don’t think I’ve seen Uncle Ren yet?”

“Your Uncle Ren just had surgery some time ago for his veins and felt a little uncomfortable. So, he’s resting upstairs.” Doris answered without changing her expression.

“Then I’ll go see him later.”

“No need. Just let him rest.”

“With everyone downstairs today, Uncle Ren probably feels lonely alone. I can go upstairs with Eugene for a little bit later.” Heller insisted.

Meanwhile, Eugene was looking for Jin WoWo’s figure in the sea of people. Ever since he saw Jin WoWo at the banquet last time, he couldn’t seem to get the image of him out of his head.

It was a pity that Jin WoWo either always took guards or was accompanied by Raymond whenever he went out so he didn’t have a chance to get close.

Hearing Heller’s words, Eugene said immediately: “Heller and I can go up now.”

Maybe, Jin WoWo was with Ren upstairs. Eugene thought.

The smile on Doris’s face became a bit forced. She used to want Heller as her future daughter-in-law. She looked good, had a gentle personality, and had a good family background.

However, now that she has Jin WoWo, she actually felt that Heller was a far cry from her current daughter-in-law.

Although Heller looked good, she always gave people a sense of distance. With such a gentle personality, she looked to be a bit too restrained and boring in comparison to Jin WoWo who was a little badass from time to time but still had a simple and kind temperament engraved in his bones.

Now, Heller clearly did not try to understand the people she’s talking to, insisting on going up despite being tactfully rejected multiple times. 

Not only that but she even dragged Eugene into the conversation – the love rival of her son. 

Although Doris’s love rival (Eugene’s mother) was already married and had children, Doris still felt uneasy when thinking about how Eugene looked so similar to his mother, as she repeatedly displayed herself in front of Ren after she (Doris) had gotten married.

The smile on Doris’s face shrank a little, and she was no longer tactful. “Don’t go up, your Uncle Ren hates it the most when others disturb him,” Doris said directly.

Heller’s smile turned stiff and there was an embarrassing atmosphere surrounding the air.

This was the first time Heller has been rejected so bluntly ever since she turned into a young lady. Seeing that she couldn’t insist without losing her dignity, Heller dryly said, “Then, we won’t disturb Uncle Ren and let him have a good rest.”

Eugene was a little disappointed, and his gaze kept moving back to the direction of the stairs.

Doris gave them another glance, feeling more upset, before turning to talk to someone else.

Eugene complained to Heller in a low voice, “If you had just chosen Raymond at the start, would you still need to be like this? You’re too pretentious.”

Heller secretly gnashed her teeth and glanced at Eugene coldly from the corner of her eye.

…………

In the storage room upstairs.

The birthday party hasn’t officially started yet, and the various gifts from the guests were being placed and guided into the storage room by the old butler one by one.

Jin WoWo was looking around in the pile of gifts right now, looking like a child who had just entered a playground where everything was still novel and fun.

Raymond looked at the silly Jin WoWo. While rubbing his soft hair, Raymond said, “Just hold it and play with it.”

Jin Wowo turned his head and smiled brightly at him. Many of these things couldn’t be found on Earth. If they were available on Earth, then he has never seen these items before.

Jin WoWo saw the beautifully packed box, and wanted to open it to see the gift inside, then play with it in his hand, and put it back.

Among the gifts in the pile, several gift boxes were set aside on a separate pile.

Those were gifts from the first-rate families of Central Star – the other four major families and the royal family.

Jin WoWo walked over and saw that there was a small and delicate-looking flannel box in the second pile. The box was low-key, a black box with simple gold silk decorations, revealing a silent luxurious aura.

This combination of black and gold was a favorite of Raymond’s.

Who could be so caring and meticulous when thinking about giving gifts? Jin WoWo thought to himself as he picked up the small box, wanting to open it to see what was inside.

As a result, the box was equipped with a code lock.

Raymond took it and looked it over. After trying a few passwords, he didn’t manage to open it. He frowned slightly and moved his five fingers to use brute force.

Jin WoWo quickly grabbed the other’s hand, “Hey hey, don’t you dare. The box is pretty good-looking. Don’t damage it.”

Jin WoWo took the box back and studied it for a while. The more he couldn’t open it, the more Jin WoWo wanted to know what was inside and who sent the gift.

Suddenly, he said, “Try unlocking it with your birthday.”

Raymond entered his birthday into the electronic lock and a green light flashed twice on the box. It was unlocked

Jin WoWo could not wait to open the lid of the box to take a look, and was stunned.

Raymond was also stunned when he saw the contents of the box.

Inside, they saw a bottle of Vein Clearing Liquid lying in an exquisite, luxurious, and high-end atmosphere.

Jin WoWo: “…”

Raymond: “…”

They looked at each other.

Jin WoWo couldn’t help but laugh out loud. After going through so much for the bottle of medicine, it still returned to his hand! It was even sent to the door as a “treasure”. He really couldn’t help but laugh.

However, soon enough, Jin WoWo couldn’t laugh.

Because he saw a small note under the bottle of Vein Clearing Liquid.

Paper was a very scarce resource in the Beastman Empire.

As early as a few hundred years ago, the empire had fully transitioned into an era of paperless electronic information. Almost all their books, oil paintings, artworks, and other things that use paper were all digitized.

There were only a very small number of large families that kept a few paper books as part of their collection.

The ancient and sincere way of sending blessings through a small paper note showed just how hard the other party thought about the gift.

On the note were blessings written in beautiful strokes. These blessings were normal when viewed separately, but when combined, it strangely felt ambiguous.

Jin WoWo held the note between his fingertips, and the corner of his mouth twitched as he hummed thoughtfully, “Does this Heller have a crush on you?”

“No, no.” Raymond stammered..

Before, he really hadn’t noticed Heller’s thoughts about him. After meeting Jin WoWo Jin WoWo, he didn’t give even an ounce of attention to other females and subbeasts.

Looking at the ambiguous words on the note, Raymond would be a fool if he even he didn’t notice the hidden meaning behind the words that were carefully strung together.

“The first time I saw her, I could tell at a glance.” Jin WoWo said as his lips curled up.

Jin WoWo felt a little anger in his heart.

Although he and Raymond did not hold a partner ceremony, they have already disclosed their relationship to the outside world. Yet, this Heller still left such a small note at this time. It really made him feel oh so very happy.

When Jin WoWo felt upset, he would purse his lips. Most people wouldn’t notice such a small change in expression

Only Raymond, who had been paying attention to the golden snail all day, could distinguish this subtle change at a glance.

Raymond carefully looked at Jin WoWo’s expression, reached out, and pulled him into his arms. “I didn’t know before. Even if I knew, I would never like her.” Raymond explained in a low voice.

Jin WoWo gave Raymond a sideway glanced and softly huffed as a response.

Seeing Jin WoWo’s reaction, Raymond was a little nervous. “Then I will throw away the gift she gave now.”

As he said that, he picked up the bottle of Vein Clearing Liquid and the delicate flannel box, and was about to throw them into the trash can.

Jin WoWo grabbed his arm, stopping him. 

Jin WoWo rolled his eyes and his lips turned up to form an eerie smile. “Forget it. It’s still something I blended by myself. I really like the taste. Let’s keep it as a drink.”

Not only did Jin WoWo want to drink the bottle of medicine. He also wanted to drink it right in front of Heller.
