Jiang Deyi could no longer keep up his smile. Never in a million years would he have expected that the cuff links on Song Xuanhe's cuffs today were McPhail's.

When he recalled Song Xuanhe's insincere smile, Jiang Deyi tightened his hold around the napkin on his lap. Song Xuanhe had probably been laughing at him for not recognizing those cufflinks despite the fact he had said that they were very important to him.

Xiao Shenglin didn't know about the covert happenings that had taken place prior to his arrival. He walked over to his spot. When he didn't hear anyone speak, he felt a bit awkward. With a gentle smile, he asked, "Was I wrong?"



Jiang Deyi's expression changed. He cast his gaze over to Song Xuanhe at once.

Song Xuanhe knew what Jiang Deyi was thinking just by looking at his expression. Actually, he hadn't thought of anything when he had first seen Jiang Deyi. After all, regardless of whether it was in his original world or this world, there were many people who didn't like him, as well as people he didn't like. He'd end up wasting a lot of time and energy if he were to pay attention to every single one of them.

It had just been that, even if he hadn't had any plans on provoking Jiang Deyi, Jiang Deyi had taken the initiative to provoke him.


When he heard Jiang Deyi's covert challenge, Song Xuanhe's first reaction was to laugh. He had then wanted to see when the other would notice his cufflinks. He hadn't expected for the other to ignore it the whole time. He had only reacted when Xiao Shenglin had spoken up. What was even funnier was that, when Xiao Shenglin suspected he had been mistaken, Jiang Deyi had really believed him. He hoped that this pair of cufflinks weren't the one by McPhail so that he would be able to break free of this embarrassing predicament.

It was just unfortunate that he was fated to be disappointed.

Chin still propped up on his hand, Song Xuanhe smiled. "You're right. It's this pair."


Upon hearing Song Xuanhe's admission, everyone turned to look at Jiang Deyi. 'Important' to him? Yeah right. It was one thing for him not to recognize it despite it being waved right in front of his eyes, but he had actually tried to deride Song Xuanhe for collecting it. Everyone now understood why he had said what he had just now.

When Feng Tong looked at Song Xuanhe's cufflinks, he smiled and complimented him. "These cufflinks suit your shirt very well."

Song Xuanhe raised a brow. "Are you complimenting yourself?"

The shirt he was wearing today was from the brand under Feng Tong's teacher's name. But everyone here knew that the shirt's cut and innovative design were done by Feng Tong on his own. Feng Tong's teacher had never tried to keep this a secret. That was why Feng Tong was rising so quickly in the design world.

"Of course not," Feng Tong said with a smile, "I'm grateful to you for giving me inspiration."

"I had also been inspired when I had first laid eyes on these cufflinks. That's why I had bought them." Song Xuanhe stroked the cufflinks and smiled. "Master McPhail's designs are unique and creative. If I ever get the chance, I'd like to visit him. I'd probably be blessed with inspiration if I were to have a chance to converse with him."

The male designer who had spoken to Song Xuanhe as soon as he had arrived looked at him weirdly when he heard this. Seeing this, Song Xuanhe asked, "What's wrong?"

The confusion was blatant on Song Xuanhe's face. "Know about what?"

"Those cufflinks," The male designer said while pointing at Song Xuanhe's sleeve, "Were designed by Master McPhail in celebration of his twentieth anniversary. Not just that, they also hold a special meaning to him. He has privately said before that whoever ends up with them will be allowed to participate in one of his tea parties."
