YM778.TV Chapter 84: Preparing Gifts
\'Maybe I made a mistake telling the fairy tales of love,\' she thought with a sigh, but she couldn\'t do anything when it came to her.
"Yes, mom, then I will be going, and I might also stay at my brother Li\'s home," Emily replied with a nod as she informed.
"You haven\'t even married yet; why are you talking about staying at another place?" Eliza pinched her cheeks with a pout.
"Umm, so what? I will just ask my brother Li to marry me then," Emily replied with a snort and looked at Li Wei.
"Brother Li, marry me," she asked with big eyes.
Li Wei became speechless, wondering how the hell the talk turned to marrying him.
"I am sorry, Li Wei; she is a troublemaker. Just tell me if she is causing trouble for you; I will pick her up," Eliza said as she let out a sigh at her troublesome daughter.
"Yes, Aunty Eliza, I will contact you if she is causing trouble," Li Wei replied with a nod before leaving with Emily.
As he made his way towards his villa with her, she held his hand tightly while asking a lot of questions.
Li Wei wondered if his decision to bring her was right or wrong as she was asking the questions related to relationships and love.
Nevertheless he answered her questions along the way before finally arriving at the destination.
Emily became shocked after knowing their destination was no.1 Villa.
"Brother Li, you are not joking, right?" she asked with a doubt.
She thought it would be some normal villa with 8-10 rooms, but he was bringing her to the no.1 villa that was bought by some mysterious tycoon few days ago.
"Why would you think this is a joke, anyway lets go inside others are waiting for you," Li Wei replied with a shrug as he made his way inside along with her.
Emily became shocked once again.
\'Brother Li is the mysterious tycoon!\' she exclaimed in heart, as her imagination kept running wild, thinking about how many secret wives he had hiding in villas like this.
"XinXin, everyone I brought the guest," Li Wei informed as he arrived at the hall where everyone was waiting for them.
"Emily, welcome to our home," Li Xin said first welcoming her with a smile.
However, Emily was stunned to see two Li Xin\'s.
"Sister Li, you have a twin sister!" she exclaimed loudly, her eyes glowing with excitement as once again her imagination ran wild.
\'I never thought brother Li will have a rare twin in his harem\' she muttered in her heart as her eyes sparkled like starts.
But Li Wei\'s next words made her eyes dim.
"They aren\'t twins so stop getting your hopes up," he said clearly knowing that she was thinking about love and romance.
However, he didn\'t explain too much and continued.
"This is my villa so you can just wander inside however you like. But don\'t create trouble, or your mom will come to pick you up," he warned her and looked at other girls.
"I have something to do, so I will leave Emily in your care, just let her play how she like but if she creates trouble then inform me immediately," he said to them and headed upstairs.
Emily was little upset about his warning but she didn\'t care much and looked at twin Li Xin\'s.
"Sister Li, are you really not twins?" she asked with a doubt.
Hearing her question Li Xin smiled at her and shook her head.
"Emily, she is Lily, our new party member," she introduced as she brought her to sit on the sofa.
"It\'s really great that you came here; I wanted to ask about a few things," she mentioned.
"Eh, sister Li, what is it you want to ask?" Emily inquired.
However, before Li Xin could say something, Alice chimed in.
"Emily, it\'s your lovely brother Li\'s birthday tomorrow, and the day after is your sister Li\'s," she explained and continued.
"So sister Li wants to know where she can find gifts to give her lovely brother," she added.
Hearing this Emily nodded and beamed happily again.
"Sister Li, you did a great job at asking me then; because whenever my mother wants a gift for my father, she takes me to gift shops, and I know a lot about it," she stated proudly puffing her chest.
"Really, then can you tell me?" Li Xin asked wanting to know.
"Of course I will tell to my sister Li," Emily nodded and started to tell me about every gift shop in the city.
Elva, Alice, Olivia, and Lily also focused on her; they wanted to give gifts to both of them so they too were interested in these shops.
…
As their chat continued, Li Wei arrived on the fifth floor and stood in front of a room.
"I hope the equipment inside is of good quality," he murmured, opening the door. Enjoy reading at m-vle-mp,yr.
This room was for crafting, where all types of equipment were ready and they were all at level 50.
These requirements didn\'t cost that much so they were given along with villa.
Li Wei was quite satisfied with this as he walked in front of the furnace where he wanted to work.
The furnace was like a modern high-degree oven, however it operated on fire magic crystals.
"Hmm, what will look good on her?" he muttered, imagining Li Xin with different accessories.
But he wasn\'t able to think of anything special, as everything would look good on her.
"Anyway, let\'s start," he said to himself, taking out the small D-level fire magic crystals and putting them inside the dedicated space where they would be automatically consumed on what amount was needed.
He then took out every metal and ore he bought and put them inside different containers before placing them into furnace to melt them.
What he wanted to create were small accessories, so changing the shape and removing any impurities was important as they were only D levels ores.
He then headed towards the other side of the room, where all necessary tools for jewellers were prepared.
\'It\'s really a good setup; there\'s even a magnified lens built in to do the fine work,\' he thought, taking out the five different gems.
Without hesitation, he started to crave them in the shape he desired and also engraved a few runes on them.
After a while, he took out the molten metals and ores pouring them into another container to get the shape for the accessories.
He then let it cool for a while before taking them out to carve them in accessories.
He wasn\'t creating a high-grade equipment here, and with his luck, he didn\'t think he would get the item to reach the legendary rank or further.
However, he did his best to get them the highest rank, and finally, after some struggle, he managed to get them at unique rank.
Even though the grade was low Li Wei felt satisfied because it was really hard to make them.
"Phew, it\'s really tiring to make high grade ones," he murmured as he looked at the accessories placed on the table.
A simple, beautiful ring with a clear crystal on it, a platinum pendent with small green gem inlaid in it, a beautiful red hairpin, and a brooch with metallic and gem finishing.
They were all level 50 and were unique rank items with all kinds of buffs for defence and escape.
"XinXin will definitely like this accessories, however I can\'t gift her this in normal way," he muttered as he stored the accessories inside the item box.
Even though gifting her normally will make her happy he wanted to do more than that. After all she was lovely stepsister, he should make sure that she will be shocked when she gets the gift.
As he thought of this, he headed downstairs only to see Li Xin and others still sitting on sofas and talking to each other.
"XinXin, didn\'t you wanted to go out?" He asked with a puzzled face.
While hearing him Li Xin became stunned and looked at him with a pout.
"Brother, we already came back after going out. Also, it\'s already evening now, and you haven\'t eaten your meal, right?" she explained and inquired with a glare.
"What? It\'s already evening," Li Wei exclaimed with surprise.
He was too caught up in creating a good gift for her and forgot about the time.
"So you really haven\'t eaten anything yet?" Li Xin wrinkled her nose with irritation.
"Sister Li, why are you angry? Brother Li is an adventurer, and it\'s okay even if he doesn\'t eat for a few weeks," Emily replied, defending him.
"Emily, you forgot about your sister just after seeing him," Li Xin glared at her with a pout.
After strolling around the shops and chatting with her, she became much more familiar with the little girl.
"I didn\'t forget you sister Li, but brother said he would marry me, so I have to defend him" Emily replied, glancing at Li Wei with love and trying to add oil to the fire.
Li Wei stiffened at her response and rolled his eyes at her.
\'Damn, this girl wants to cause chaos," he cursed, but he didn\'t say anything because Li Xin saw through her lies.
"Emily, if he really promised it, then you are lucky because he won\'t go back on it," Li Xin smiled, ruffling her hair.
"Eh?" Emily became stunned and showed a disapproving expression when her lies didn\'t work.
"Emily I should tell Aunty Eliza about this," Li Wei said with a smile as he sat beside Li Xin.
He wanted to make Li Xin sit on his lap, but it would be no good to do it in front of a 12-year-old kid.
"Brother, don\'t threaten her; she is just joking," Li Xin defended Emily, looking at him with a glare.
Li Wei shrugged and looked at Alice, who was depressed, rubbing her cat ears.
"What happened to Alice? Did you not buy something to her liking?" he inquired curiously.
However, the atmosphere somehow became a little awkward.
"Umm, brother Li, her future husband\'s property was almost eaten by a street dog," Lily replied, not telling much, and looked at Elva with a fear.
"So it\'s her fault," Li Wei nodded, feeling a little pity for the pitiful cat, but didn\'t say anything.
"Emily, are you staying for dinner or should I drop you home?" he asked, ruffling her hair.
However, Emily shook her head.
"No, I am going to stay here today," she replied, puffing her chest with a smirk.
"Also, I have gotten permission from my mother; if you think I am lying, you can ask my sister Li; she was there with me," she added smugly, as if she has saved the whole world.
