"You're overstating things, Mr. Zhou. I genuinely just want to express my apologies. Besides, what's in this box isn't a particularly valuable gift. It's a Jade Pendant I came across by chance, and I felt its aura was a perfect match for the beautiful lady beside you, which is why I thought to present it!"
Seeing Zhou Fan refuse the gift, Qiao Yingfei felt a little panicked. Then, his eyes fell on Chen Yao sitting next to Zhou Fan, and in a flash of inspiration, he quickly added his explanation.
Zhou Fan watched Qiao Yingfei with an amused expression. He still remembered the first time he met that Gongsun Long; the man had wanted to hire him to treat the person he served.
'It must have been one of this Qiao Yingfei's relatives!'
And for Qiao Yingfei to seek him out at the first opportunity... he clearly came with a purpose.
'But trying to get close to me with just a single Jade Pendant? At least, to my eyes, it doesn't look like anything special. I'm still not interested.'
