Chapter 904 - 904 Gift
904 Gift
At this moment, the banquet hall was bustling with people coming and going.
However, after Han Yin and Chu Feng left, an invisible barrier seemed to appear around Shen Hanxing and Xiao Yu, separating them from the rest of the crowd. It felt as if the whole world consisted only of the two of them, amidst the bustling yet tranquil atmosphere.
Soft music and the chatter of the guests filled the air, but Xiao Yu seemed to only hear the sound of his own blood flowing and the pounding of his heart. He licked his lips, feeling a bit nervous about this illusion of being alone with Shen Hanxing.
“Why did you prepare a gift?” Shen Hanxing didn’t notice Xiao Yu’s strange demeanor and calmly accepted the gift, then smiled and squinted her eyes. “But thank you.” She shook the beautifully packaged box and asked, “Can I open it now?”
“Sure.” Xiao Yu’s throat felt a bit dry. He cleared his throat and replied.
Shen Hanxing lowered her head and elegantly untied the bow on the gift box, she was very focused and serious. Only at this moment, Xiao Yu could greedily look at her unabashedly without fear of her seeing his thoughts. At the Ji Family, she should be doing well. She was different not just in her appearance and attire, but also in her beauty. More importantly, she no longer carried the previous aloofness and stubbornness between her brows. She had become calm, gentle, confident, and generous from the depths of her heart.
Shen Hanxing had matured early since she was young. When other children were still playing, she already had a clear goal. Perhaps it was because she grew up in the slums. She knew the importance of money since she was young and her shoulders bore the burden of life early on. Therefore, Shen Hanxing’s eyes were always filled with calmness and worry that did not match her age, forcing herself to become a mature adult. But now, there was always a light sense of joy in the corners of her eyes, and every move of hers carried the charm and playfulness of her age. Occasionally, she would even be mischievous and cunning.
That was great.
Xiao Yu whispered in his heart. “As long as Shen Hanxing is happy, everything is fine.”
Back then, when Shen Hanxing had to give up her studies and shoulder a huge debt because her grandmother fell ill, Xiao Yu knew how painful and desperate it was. Now that she could return to school and continue her studies. It was really great. She deserved the best in the world.
Shen Hanxing finally opened the carefully wrapped box and was slightly stunned when she saw what was inside. “Why did you give me this?” She raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Yu, asking softly, “Where did you get the money?”
Between Shen Hanxing’s fair fingers, there hung a delicate and slender bracelet with a four-leaf clover made of red carnelian set in white gold. The bracelet belonged to a well-known brand, and the materials used were not cheap, so the price of the bracelet would be quite high.
Since marrying Ji Yan, Shen Hanxing’s lifestyle, including what she wore and used, had become very expensive. Coupled with the money she earned herself, this bracelet was nothing to her. But for Xiao Yu, it was a precious luxury item, so where did he get the money?
“Why do you look so serious?” Xiao Yu smiled in a relaxed manner, even teasing Shen Hanxing, “Am I that useless in your eyes? Although this bracelet is expensive, I can afford it.”
Shen Hanxing pursed her lips and remained silent.
“Don’t worry, I haven’t done anything I shouldn’t. I haven’t had any contact with those people you dislike.” Xiao Yu smiled and clumsily took the bracelet, helping Shen Hanxing put it on her wrist. “I’m really happy that you’re back in school. I wanted to give you a gift, and I saved up the money slowly. Don’t overthink it.”
“What’s going on with you?” Shen Hanxing frowned, looking at Xiao Yu with some concern. “Did something happen to you?”
Xiao Yu was not someone who liked to spend money recklessly, nor would he try to show off by pretending to be wealthy. Buying such an expensive bracelet was not something he would do.
“What could have happened to me?” Sensing Shen Hanxing’s concern, Xiao Yu rea.s.sured her with a smile. “Don’t think too much. I’m genuinely happy for you, and your current status is different from before. Instead of giving you something cheap that doesn’t suit you, it’s better to give you something you can make use of.”
