Ji Ling felt favored and startled, suppressing her emotions to remain calm, "Thank you, Aunt Jiang."
"Aunt, this is a gift for you. Although the Xiao and Ji families have dissolved their engagement, our relationship remains intact, and we shouldn't let this create a gap between us." Ji Ling placed the gift box on the table, and Housekeeper Xiao stepped forward to receive it.
Jiang Qiong's lips curved, her smile meaningful, "Of course, the relationship between our families has always been there."
"Madam, the young master has returned." Housekeeper Xiao whispered in Jiang Qiong's ear, hurriedly putting things away as he rushed over, just encountering the newly arrived Xiao Chen. He had initially come over to find the lady but turned around upon hearing Miss Ji Ling was here.
Jiang Qiong's hand paused as she held her cup, looking at him in surprise, Housekeeper Xiao shook his head, "He came back alone."
