The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 558 [Chu Qingxue’s Sister’s Birthday]

Ye Chenfeng also felt a strong desire to return. That day, Chu Qingxue mentioned it was Chu Qingfei’s birthday, and since they were twins, it also meant it was her own birthday, although Chu Qingxue did not state it directly.

The villa they were at was the renowned summer retreat, Jingde Villa. Even though it was already October, Jingde Villa still had lush green grass and orioles singing, boasting an exceptionally beautiful landscape. On a vast lawn, the crowd buzzed with excitement. The scene was bustling with life, as today was the birthday celebration for two great beauties.

The two great beauties were naturally Chu Qingxue and Chu Qingfei.

Chu Qingxue originally did not want to attend, but Chu Qingfei dragged her into it. Although the sisters were twins, ever since Chu Qingfei had gone abroad, they had never celebrated their birthdays together.

Chu Renkuang was also delighted and personally hosted the birthday celebration for them.

"Sister, my friends from Capital City have arrived; I’m going to welcome them!" said Chu Qingfei as she left.

Chu Qingxue was chatting with Lu Wanqing and a few others, her thoughts lingering on Ye Chenfeng. Would he remember her birthday?

For Chu Qingxue, money meant little at this point, but what mattered was the sentiment behind it, even if it was just a few words.

A few luxury cars arrived; car doors opened and out stepped arrogantly confident young masters.

The one leading them was incredibly handsome, wearing a white handmade suit that set him off like a Western noble.

However, this fellow’s complexion was so delicately fair that it could make a woman envious, with softness in his eyes that easily brought to mind effeminate men.

"Do you know who he is? He’s Shi Zichen from the Shi Family of Capital City’s Eight Great Families!"

"Hiss, from the Eight Great Families of Capital City? Good heavens!"

"Wouldn’t that mean that with just a word from him, Jiangnan would tremble?"

"I’ve heard that Shi Zichen is pursuing the younger Miss of the Chu Family!"

...

There was a stir among the crowd below. Due to Shi Zichen’s high-profile publicity, many people were aware of his arrival, and now the place was abuzz with discussion.

Even Wei Huandong’s steps faltered. Today’s birthday of Chu Qingfei was supposed to be an opportunity, but with Shi Zichen’s arrival, he had to step back.

"Have you arrived?" Chu Qingfei greeted them happily. When her gaze swept over Shi Zichen, a hint of discomfort, perhaps even distaste, flashed in her eyes.

"Qingfei, today is your birthday, but you seem a bit unhappy?" Shi Zichen, clad in luxurious attire from Italy, looked dignified and extraordinarily handsome.

He was holding a wine glass, his eyes glowing like stars with an unmelting tenderness. Shi Zichen gave off a bright and cheerful impression, always wearing a smile, like a breath of fresh spring.

Chu Qingfei glowed in a white evening gown, her bright eyes and white teeth accented by red lips and a fair complexion, her tall figure and straight long hair making her the most dazzling star on the premises.

Chu Qingfei disguised her awkwardness and hurriedly said, "Not at all! I’m very happy, thank you for today, Shi Zichen!"

Shi Zichen smiled charmingly: "Qingfei, why stand on ceremony between us?"

"Hehe!"

Chu Qingfei chuckled lightly: "Shi Zichen, you’ve returned from studying abroad?"

Shi Zichen’s smile widened: "Indeed, I spent the last few years immersed in studying Western classic literature, achieving modest success, even recently becoming a Duke in the United Kingdom."

"Indeed, Shi Zichen is so learned in classic literature that he’s become like a god, his soul ascended. Us mortals can’t even look up to him!" someone nearby said, buttering him up.

Shi Zichen glanced around proudly, smiling: "In this regard, I share common ground with Qingfei, given that she has always lived abroad! I’ve just returned from overseas and came directly to Jiangnan, just for your birthday."

"Hehe!" Chu Qingfei smiled faintly.

Shi Zichen was captivated as Chu Qingfei seemed even more beautiful and enchanting than the last time he saw her.

"Qingfei, hurry over there; the birthday party is about to officially start, everyone has been waiting for a long time!" someone urged.

"Someone will escort you there, Shi Zichen! I need to go prepare!" Chu Qingfei said before leaving.

Afterward, the Chu family’s old master personally received Shi Zichen, after all, he was a young master from Capital City.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is..."

Shi Zichen took the role of the master of ceremonies for Chu Qingfei’s birthday party, and after delivering a series of polite remarks, he received rounds of applause from the crowd.

"Alright, now it’s time for everyone to present their gifts to the birthday star!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than everyone started handing over their gifts. Since they were for two sisters, there were two of each gift.

All eyes were on Chu Qingfei today, and Chu Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief. If Jiang Qi had been in Jiangnan, there would have inevitably been trouble.

"Shi Zichen, you haven’t presented your gift yet, I suppose it must be a big one?" someone called out from below.

Shi Zichen laughed heartily, "Indeed, I have a gift!"

"Oh?"

Instantly, everyone’s attention was piqued. Everyone understood Shi Zichen’s affection for Chu Qingfei, and his visit to Jiangnan this time was certainly planned, likely to express his love.

"Miss Chu Qingxue’s gift has already been sent by someone! As for Qingfei’s gift..." Shi Zichen paused.

Shi Zichen then elegantly approached Chu Qingfei at the center of the stage, looking at her with deep affection, "Happy Birthday, Qingfei, I hope you won’t disdain this modest gift!"

"Get together..."

The crowd around them started to egg them on.

Chu Qingfei felt somewhat uneasy meeting Shi Zichen’s gaze, and amidst the hubbub from the people around, she took the gift and said a simple thank you.

"Wait, Qingfei!" But Shi Zichen added another phrase.

"Hmm?"

Shi Zichen smiled, "Qingfei, won’t you open it to take a look?"

"Open it! Open it!" A heart-shaped gift box, and it seemed everyone had guessed what was inside.

With a mix of curiosity and trepidation, Chu Qingfei opened the box to find another, smaller heart-shaped box inside.

"Click!"

Chu Qingfei’s hands trembled as she opened the smaller box, immediately capturing everyone’s deep attention with what was inside.

It turned out to be a sapphire diamond ring!

Several smaller diamonds clustered around a large blue sapphire, dazzled so brightly and piercingly under the light.

"A sapphire diamond ring? Hiss!"

A collective gasp of amazement went through the crowd, clearly recognizing the value of the ring as being exorbitantly high, even extravagantly beyond everyone’s comprehension!

"Hmm?" But the attention of everyone was also keenly focused on him, eagerly waiting for his explanation.

Shi Zichen’s close friend said with a smile, "This is an 18-carat sapphire and diamond ring that Prince William gave to Catherine Elizabeth Middleton as an engagement ring. The cost of this ring is about 137,000 US dollars. It features 14 small diamonds encircling the mysterious sapphire. It’s not just invaluable; it’s a symbol of luxury and is also known as a famous engagement ring. It is one of the most renowned items of jewelry in the British royal family, originating from the late Princess Diana! Its value can’t truly be measured!"

"Hiss..."

Again a series of gasps rippled through the crowd.
