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

"Oh, this pendant isn't one of your store's products, so why is it on the tray?"

"Weren't they looking at the goods?"

The woman spoke with a smile and a calm tone, revealing herself to be a very cultured person.

The manager pointed to Qin Huanhuan and explained, "You don't know this, but this is how it is. This jade pendant is this lady's personal item. She came to our store to have it appraised, so it was placed on the tray."

The woman looked at Qin Huanhuan, smiled slightly, and asked, "Hello, this 'Love' jade pendant is your personal item. Would you like to transfer it?"

Qin Huanhuan was somewhat surprised that the woman could immediately name the pendant and asked, "You know its name?"

The woman smiled calmly and said, "To be honest, I was at the auction that day. I really liked this jade pendant and wanted to buy it, but unfortunately it was snapped up by a mysterious tycoon."

"I didn't expect to see it here again today. It seems I have a special connection with it. As the saying goes, jade meets its destined owner. If you are willing to sell it, I can offer a higher price."

At this moment, Zhu Junjie and Zhao Ruirui saw a female rival suddenly appear and try to snatch the pendant from them, and she was even willing to pay a high price.

Isn't this intercepting the deal halfway?

Zhao Ruirui quickly tugged at Zhu Junjie's sleeve and whispered, "Honey, this woman is here to compete with us. You need to think of something!"

Zhu Junjie also found this woman annoying. She kept asking for a high price to buy him. Was she trying to compete with him for money?

He stepped forward, his face darkening as he stared at the woman with a sinister look, and said, "Madam, this is where you're wrong. I'm discussing the transfer with Qin Huanhuan, and you've come to interfere. Don't you know the rules of the trade? You're shamelessly offering a high price to poach me. In the jewelry and jade business, it's all about first come, first served. You don't discuss prices in front of your competitors. If you don't understand the rules, I can set some for you."

Zhu Junjie's words were already quite harsh...

Upon hearing this, the woman looked at Zhu Junjie with her beautiful eyes, then suddenly her expression darkened and she said, "You are Zhu Ziqiang's son, Zhu Junjie?"

Zhu Junjie's expression froze upon hearing this!

What's going on?

How does this woman know my name?

Does she know me?

But I don't know her.

The woman continued, "I've met you once before, when you were still in college. Humph! Even your father wouldn't dare speak to me like that. How can you, a junior, be so rude!"

Zhu Junjie was completely bewildered by the insults.

He didn't know this woman at all.

I can't remember where I've seen her before.

But since they said that and even mentioned their father's name, it shouldn't be wrong.

So he softened his tone and asked, "You know my father? May I ask who you are?"

The woman said somewhat displeased, "Go home and ask Zhu Ziqiang! He'll tell you who I am."

Zhu Junjie was very angry, but not knowing the woman's background, he dared not be too presumptuous.

At this moment, Qin Huanhuan saw the two arguing over her pendant.

Kind-hearted, she quickly said, "Stop arguing, I won't sell this jade pendant."

Then, picking up the pendant, he said to Hua Ying, "Put this on for me; it's almost time to board."

Suddenly, as if in response to Qin Huanhuan, the airport announcement rang out: "Dear passengers, please note that boarding has now begun for flight [number] to Country T. Please proceed to gate [number]."

Qin Huanhuan thanked the manager, saying, "Thank you for your help."

Then, pulling Hua Ying along, he said to the other colleagues, "Hurry up, boarding is starting."

Then I walked quickly toward the boarding gate...

Seeing that she couldn't buy the pendant, Zhao Ruirui complained to Zhu Junjie in a low voice, "Honey, what are we going to do? Qin Huanhuan is so stubborn, and now she's not selling it to us."

"Hmph, someone like her doesn't deserve to wear such an expensive jade pendant. It's like a toad on a chopping board pretending to be a big piece of meat, or a weasel wearing glasses pretending to be a lizard."

"Pah! Don't they even know who they are?"

"Her family was so poor they were practically dusty. If it weren't for Young Master Xiao buying her virginity, who would want her looking like that?"

Zhao Ruirui is really mean-spirited, directly exposing Qin Huanhuan's past in public. I don't know why she has such a strong prejudice against Qin Huanhuan.

As Zhu Junjie watched Qin Huanhuan's departing figure, he whispered to Zhao Ruirui, "Honey, don't be angry. We've been together these past two days anyway, so I have a way to force Qin Huanhuan to give in."

"Don't worry, I promise to wear this jade pendant on your beautiful, proud swan neck."

Zhao Ruirui was very happy to receive Zhu Junjie's promise and took the initiative to kiss him.

At this point, the manager said to the lady, "We also have many nice high-end jewelry items in our store; you can take a look."

The woman said calmly, "Thank you, but no need. I need to board."

Zhu Junjie heard the lady say she wanted to board the plane.

I couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to Thailand too?"

The woman simply nodded without saying a word, and gracefully strode toward the boarding gate.

Zhu Junjie saw that the woman had a graceful figure, a pair of high and firm breasts, a generous chest, and long, straight legs. When she walked, her boots made a crisp sound as they hit the ground, giving her a dashing air.

The lady had just spoken and walked with an elegant yet wild and efficient air. Just then, a ray of sunlight shone in through the window of the waiting hall, falling warmly on her delicate face. Her beautiful eyes shone like stars in the sunlight, making it impossible to look away.

Zhu Junjie's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and he thought to himself, "This woman is really something!"

Zhu Junjie unconsciously quickened his pace to catch up, saying, "Excuse me, who exactly are you?"

The woman stopped and looked him up and down, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing the belt buckle of her coat. Her gaze was as blunt as a slave owner choosing a slave. In the end, she smiled and nodded: "Hahaha, you should go home and ask Zhu Ziqiang, or you can ask Huang Pengfei."

The woman's voice was like chilled whiskey, clear yet with a touch of roughness; her laughter was captivating at the end, yet when serious, it was deep and resounding. She added, "Young man, don't be arrogant."

Here's a piece of advice for you: being low-key is the coolest way to show off.

After speaking, the woman handed her business class boarding pass to the staff.

"Beep!"

After successfully scanning the code, the woman walked confidently into the boarding gate like an unapproachable swan.

Zhu Junjie followed behind her and saw the brilliant sunlight shining on the woman, as if she were coated with a holy light, her beauty breathtaking, so beautiful that one dared not look directly at her, let alone desecrate her…

Zhu Junjie and Zhao Ruirui were both in business class and didn't need to queue. They showed their boarding passes and followed the lady into the boarding gate.

Qin Huanhuan and Hua Ying, along with a group of more than ten people, were all in economy class, so they had to wait for the first-class and business-class passengers to enter.

At this moment, Hua Ying gently nudged Qin Huanhuan with her arm and whispered, "Huanhuan, look over there."

Qin Huanhuan, unaware of what was happening, looked in the direction Hua Ying was pointing, and her eyes lit up. She muttered softly, "This feels so familiar!"

At the end of their queue stood a tall, handsome man, around thirty years old, dressed in clean and crisp casual clothes. His deep, dark eyes, in particular, gave Qin Huanhuan a sense of familiarity…
