Chapter 770 - 368: Xiang Yiwei’s Gift, Husband and Wife’s Nighttime Conversation

As he spoke, Jiang Tao reached into the gift bag and pulled out a small red wooden box that looked incredibly exquisite.

Xu Li also leaned forward with a curious face, wanting to see what was inside.

"This is..."

"Gold?"

"It looks quite heavy!"

When the items inside were fully revealed, Xu Li and Mr. Jiang, Nanny Jiang all exclaimed in surprise.

Inside the small wooden box, wrapped in soft lining, lay a uniquely designed golf club quietly.

This golf club was entirely golden yellow.

The design of the club was so lifelike that the texture of the club head, shaft, and even the grip were clearly visible.

Under the soft lighting of the living room, it appeared to be shining brightly.

The gold bar was securely fixed on a custom black velvet base.

A small metal nameplate was embedded on the base, seemingly engraved with some blessings and weight markings.

"Old Xiang is really generous, giving gold directly."

Jiang Tao, upon seeing the gift, was not surprised and simply commented casually.

After all, he just bought more than 50 million worth of gold today.

The touch of gold Xiang Yiwei gifted them didn’t even count as a fraction for him.

"Is this... gold? It’s so big!"

Tian Xiaomei’s voice was somewhat excited since it was the first time she received such an expensive gift from an outsider.

"It should be gold, right? With President Xiang’s wealth, he wouldn’t just gift us gold-plated stuff."

Jiang Wen’s voice also had a hint of excitement.

He leaned in to take a closer look and could clearly see the unique, soft yet heavy texture of gold.

Xu Li was relatively calm; she picked up her share and turned it over to the back to see the engraved words.

Au999.9, 200g!

"200 grams! It’s actually solid."

Xu Li thought the club was hollow, weighing at most a few dozen grams.

But once she held it, she felt it was heavy, and the numbers carved on the club verified her thoughts.

Jiang Wen and Tian Xiaomei quickly picked up their shares to check.

Indeed, the weight was clearly marked on the base—200 grams!

With Jiang Xue added, the five family members attending the party tonight received 5 gold bars, totaling 1000 grams!

Although Jiang Wen wasn’t very sensitive to gold prices, he knew gold was a hard currency and quite valuable.

He murmured his calculations: "I heard gold is more than seven hundred per gram now? This one bar would be worth tens of thousands?"

"Dad, gold prices have gone up long ago!"

Xu Li took out her phone, quickly checked the international gold prices, and inhaled sharply:

"Today’s international gold price converts to nearly 900 yuan per gram! This one 200-gram gold bar is worth nearly 180,000!"

One hundred eighty thousand per bar!

Five bars is ninety thousand!

Add Xu Li’s parents and her sister Xu Sha’s three shares to that.

Tonight, Xiang Yiwei gave Jiang Tao’s party a total of 1600 grams of gold, exceeding the value of 1 million!

Of course, this gold for the Xiang Family really was just a "small gift".

Even if Jiang Tao brought over ten or twenty more people tonight, Xiang Yiwei could afford to gift more.

"If I had known Xiang Yiwei was so generous, I would have brought more people and included Uncle, Aunt, and Third Brother."

Jiang Tao’s words broke the silence in the room and made everyone laugh.

"You rascal, don’t be ungrateful. Just the gifts tonight are worth over a million; you wouldn’t even dare to dream of this back then."

"Yeah! Over a million just given to us like that, the money came too easily."

"Before was before, now is now. Our family is different than before, it’s just 200 grams of gold, stay calm."

"Who can compare to you, rascal."

"Why don’t, Lili, you handle these, they’re no use to your dad and me."

"Mom, these are gifts from the Xiang Family for you, you should keep them, maybe later make some jewelry you like."

"Alright, alright, it’s getting late, everyone, quickly wash up and sleep."

After another round of sighs and surprises, everyone carefully put away the gifts, then began rotating through the bathroom to get ready for rest.

Time was late, and everyone had their own tasks tomorrow.

Soon, everyone finished washing and returned to their rooms to rest.

In the master bedroom, the soft night lamp emitted a hazy glow.

After washing up, Xu Li, dressed in a silk nightgown and carrying the fresh scent of her bath, slid into bed.

She naturally leaned into Jiang Tao’s arms.

She raised her head and looked at Jiang Tao’s increasingly angular side profile in the dim light.

Xu Li’s eyes were filled with deep love and a hint of barely noticeable longing.

She stretched out her slender fingers, gently caressing Jiang Tao’s chest, her voice with a touch of laziness and coquettishness:

"Honey, are you tired today?"

Jiang Tao lowered his head and met Xu Li’s moist eyes, immediately understanding her hint.

He curled his lips into a knowing smile, tightened his arms to hug the warm and soft beauty fully, and planted a kiss on her smooth forehead, his voice low and magnetic: "With you here, how could I be tired?"

Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s words, a moving blush floated on Xu Li’s face, like a blooming peach blossom.

She proactively raised her head, found his lips, and gave a warm and lingering kiss.

Jiang Tao’s palms caressed her smooth back softly through the thin silk nightgown.

The delicate touch and the slight shivering of her body seemed to play an enticing tune on the strings of his heart.

Xu Li’s breathing gradually quickened, her arms around Jiang Tao’s neck, her body pressed tighter against him, as if trying to fuse into his bones.

Under the room turned orange by the night lamp, their breaths intertwined, heartbeats pounding like drums, indistinguishable of whose beat was more intense.

No need for many words, all exchanges became entwined bodies and soul vibrations.

One hour later...

"Honey," Xu Li’s voice carried the hoarseness and languor after the incident, "do you think this time it will work?"

"It should work!"

Jiang Tao had said this sentence over a dozen times, yet every time brought disappointment to him and Xu Li.

"Hmm, I have a special feeling today, as if it might work."

Xu Li rubbed herself against Jiang Tao, found a more comfortable position, and continued:

"I just want to give Xiao Xue a little brother or sister so that she has someone to accompany her in the future; this way, when we’re gone, she still has a family member."

"What nonsense are you talking about, we’ll live for at least a hundred and eighty years, there’s still a long time ahead."

Jiang Tao toyed with Xu Li’s hair, his eyes flashing with an confident gleam.

He possessed the Immortal Holly, a bug-level special item.

As long as he doesn’t act recklessly, he surely could break the human longevity limit in this lifetime.

"Before, time seemed to pass so slowly, but the last two years, time feels like it’s flying by..."

"Don’t bother thinking about things that don’t matter, live in the moment, enjoy each day."

"Mm-hmm, oh honey, Sister-in-law said she found someone to check, it’s indeed a girl this time, she could be considered fulfilled."

"Suppose they have both a son and a daughter now."

"When will our family have both a son and a daughter?"

"There’s no need to be too fixated on this; look at those with big businesses like the Xiang Family, they only have one."

Jiang Tao and Xu Li embraced, sharing the couple’s intimate whispers.

Discussing the anecdotes from the Xiang Family Manor tonight, the hefty gold bar gift, the expectations for Xiao Xue’s future, and the next steps for Jiang Tao’s company.

Without a deliberate topic, simply sharing their thoughts and feelings, their voices lowering, becoming vaguer.

About twenty minutes later, Xu Li’s breathing became even and long, with a satisfied smile, she fell into a deep sleep in the comforting embrace of Jiang Tao.

Listening to Xu Li’s steady breath, feeling the warmth and softness in his embrace.

Looking at the faint moonlight seeping through the window, Jiang Tao’s heart filled with tranquility and contentment.

He glanced at the phone on the bedside table, it was now 0:45 at night.

The day’s information has refreshed.
