Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

Monday morning at 10:00 AM.

Capital International Airport.

Qin Huanhuan and her group of more than ten people arrived at the airport two hours early to check in, pass through security, and arrive at the boarding gate for their flight to T country.

Half of these dozen or so people were visiting the country for the first time, so they were all very excited, chattering non-stop and curious about everything they saw. Everyone was full of anticipation and excitement for their future work.

To Qin Huanhuan's surprise, Zhu Junjie and Zhao Ruirui also went to Thailand with their small team.

It was a pleasant surprise, considering they were college classmates and now he was her boss at her company.

Zhu Junjie is the group's general manager, while Zhao Ruirui is not only the director of the general manager's office but also the deputy head of the tourism sales department.

Therefore, the leadership of this small team was naturally handed over to Zhu Junjie and Zhao Ruirui.

Qin Huanhuan was relieved, as she didn't have to worry about following the leader. Originally, Qin Huanhuan was nervous and afraid that something might happen since it was her first time going abroad. Now, she felt less nervous and uneasy, and more at ease and composed.

There is still more than an hour before boarding time.

At this moment, Hua Ying pointed to several shops next to the rest area and said, "Huanhuan, let's go take a look over there. Look, there's a Moufu Jewelry counter and a Chanel boutique over there. I heard that airports are all duty-free shops, and the prices are much cheaper than outside."

Qin Huanhuan was texting Xiao Zhan, and their relationship was rapidly heating up, with a feeling of reluctance to part.

After hearing Hua Ying speak, Qin Huanhuan looked up and saw that there were indeed several shops over there. She saw that on both sides of the entrance of a certain Fu Jewelry store, there were huge GG signs for jade bracelets and pendants.

Qin Huanhuan couldn't help but think of the jade pendant with diamonds that Xiao Zhan had given her, and subconsciously reached up to touch her neck.

Hua Ying, with her sharp eyes, noticed the jade pendant around Qin Huanhuan's neck and exclaimed, "Wow, it's so green! What a beautiful jade pendant! Huanhuan, when did you buy it?"

"You brat, you bought such a nice pendant and didn't even tell me! Are you still my best friend?"

Hua Ying's sudden outburst drew the attention of her colleagues, who all looked over. Being women, they were known for their love of comparison, gossip, and chatting amongst themselves.

Qin Huanhuan rolled her eyes at Hua Ying and whispered, "What are you yelling about? Are you trying to make sure everyone knows?"

Hua Ying stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Such a beautiful jade pendant must cost a lot of money, right?"

"Was it a gift from Young Master Xiao?"

Qin Huanhuan nodded. "I didn't ask him how much it cost."

She asked about the others, but Xiao Zhan didn't answer.

At this moment, several other colleagues gathered around, and one of them, looking very experienced, said, "Judging from the color and clarity of the jadeite, it won't be cheap. This is a bright green glassy jadeite."

Another colleague said, "Yeah, when my sister-in-law got married last time, her mother-in-law gave her a jade pendant that was similar to this one, saying it cost hundreds of thousands. Huanhuan's is even bigger than my sister-in-law's, and it's set with so many diamonds. I think it must cost at least a million."

"Huanhuan, how much did you pay for this?"

"Oh, Huanhuan, I didn't know you were a hidden little rich girl! Quickly tell me honestly, how much did you spend?"

"I never expected that our Captain Huanhuan is a hidden rich kid. This is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful and high-end jade pendant."

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's so beautiful, such a feast for the eyes."

"Yes, look, this jade pendant is a perfect match for Huanhuan's looks, skin tone, and figure. It's true that beautiful women need the finest jewelry to complement them."

"I've heard that there are a lot of fake jadeite these days. If you don't buy a high-quality piece like this, you'll get scammed."

"Huanhuan, let's go to the store up ahead and get it appraised for peace of mind."

In fact, Qin Huanhuan has always been very low-key, and she has never worn or worn many expensive ornaments and jewelry.

She dislikes others judging her even more.

So, somewhat embarrassed, I told the truth: "This pendant was a gift from a friend. I don't know how much it's worth."

Another very important point is that Qin Huanhuan really doesn't care whether the pendant is real or fake. As long as it's a gift from Xiao Zhan, she likes it, regardless of whether it's real or fake, as long as it's given with good intentions.

Hua Ying pointed to a certain Fu Jewelry store and said, "It's okay if you don't know the prices. We can go to Fu Jewelry and ask, and it'll broaden our horizons."

Hua Ying knew that the jade pendant Xiao Zhan gave to Qin Huanhuan wouldn't be fake...

Several colleagues chimed in, "Yeah, Huanhuan, why don't you go ask about the price? Let us see for ourselves!"

Actually, Qin Huanhuan asked Xiao Zhan how much he spent yesterday, but the jerk just smiled and said, "As long as you like it, the price doesn't matter."

Later, the two remained deeply in love and were so busy that they no longer had time to mention how much the pendant cost.

Qin Huanhuan also wanted to ask about the price, not because she had any other intentions, but simply because she was curious about how much it was worth...

"Wow, Huanhuan, when did you buy such a beautiful jade pendant? It must be worth a lot of money!"

Suddenly, Zhao Ruirui appeared beside them, speaking with a sarcastic expression.

Ever since she got together with Zhu Junjie, she's been targeting Qin Huanhuan for some reason.

Perhaps she wanted to get revenge for the "humiliation" of being overshadowed by the academic superstar Qin Huanhuan during her four years of university.

When Zhao Ruirui asked her, Qin Huanhuan didn't think much of it and answered truthfully, "I don't know how much it's worth."

"It was given to me by Xiao Zhan."

Zhao Ruirui knew Xiao Zhan's true identity.

But she didn't believe that Xiao Zhan would be willing to give Qin Huanhuan such a fine jade pendant, especially one that was inlaid with diamonds all around. If it was real jade and diamonds, it would cost at least several million.

In Zhao Ruirui's subconscious, a rich young master like Xiao Zhan couldn't possibly be sincere towards Qin Huanhuan. The two were not a good match, and Xiao Zhan was just playing around with Qin Huanhuan.

Once he gets tired of playing around, he will dump Qin Huanhuan without hesitation.

Just like her relationship with Zhu Junjie, there's no way they'll get married. One is lustful, the other is after money; they each get what they want. Once they're both tired of each other, they'll just part ways and live their own lives peacefully.

Women's biggest flaws are jealousy and a competitive spirit.

Zhu Junjie had slept with her so many times, and aside from eating, drinking, having fun, and buying her a few sets of designer clothes and bags, he had never given her such expensive jewelry.

Then Zhao Ruirui said, "It doesn't matter if Huanhuan doesn't know the price. We can go to a certain jewelry store to have it appraised and we'll know the price then."

Actually, Zhao Ruirui was harboring a wicked intention!

She wanted to see if the jade and diamond pendant Xiao Zhan gave to Qin Huanhuan was real or fake.

If that's true, she'll take the opportunity to get Zhu Junjie to buy her a similar jade pendant.

In what way is she inferior to Qin Huanhuan?

She has a great figure and a beautiful face, and she's even a few centimeters taller than Qin Huanhuan, with long legs that are 1.3 meters long.

If the test results are fake, then she'll take the opportunity to humiliate Qin Huanhuan and vent the anger she's held back for four years...

Seeing that everyone was saying this, Qin Huanhuan, being kind-hearted, didn't think much of it and said, "Alright then, I'll go ask about the price."

So the group went to a certain Fu Jewelry store.

Immediately, a sales manager stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Hello, gentlemen, what would you like to see?"

"Or is there anything I can do to help you?"

Hua Ying blurted out, "We're here to have the jade pendant appraised for authenticity and price, is that alright?"

The manager smiled and said, "Of course, and our store offers free authentication services for customers, as well as high-price buyback of gold, jewelry, and jadeite."

So Qin Huanhuan took the jade pendant off her neck.

But the moment the manager saw the pendant, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"Hiss..."
