Chapter 125: Meeting (3) (1/2)

Xiao Bojian suppressed the sourness in his heart and forced his face into a gentle, kind expression. Since Chu Lian didn’t even want to reach over and accept the gift, he pulled it back towards himself, opened it up, and placed it in front of her again.

He put on his warmest, most persuasive tone of voice and said, “Lian’er, take a look. It’s the golden hairpin with jade inlays that you were eyeing for so long back then. Do you like it?”

Chu Lian swept her gaze over it. The hairpin was covered in exquisitely engraved flower patterns. Both the hearts of the flowers and their petals were decorated in high quality jade. On the head of the hairpin were five small sapphires glimmering in the light, forming the largest flower of them all. This accessory was indeed of high value, and it was certainly beautiful; no wonder the previous ‘Chu Lian’ had yearned over it.

Xiao Bojian’s expression softened a little, perhaps due to sensing Chu Lian’s admiration of his gift.

Since his Lian’er didn’t want to speak, then he could be the one to fill the silence. He had to let Lian’er understand the true depths of his sincerity. That damn He Changdi wasn’t good enough for her!

“Lian’er, it’s Brother Xiao who was wrong. I should have bought this hairpin for you earlier. After making you wait for so long, why don’t you let Brother Xiao put it on for you now?”

Chu Lian: ……

She was already at her limit just trying to keep up her calm facade! What was this guy trying to do now?!

What the two of them didn’t know, was that their whole conversation had been heard by Prince Jin in the private room next door.

Waves of emotion rippled across the calm lakes of Prince Jin’s azure eyes.

Xiao Bojian?

He hadn’t expected Miss Chu to be so daring. Prince Jin instantly felt gratified that he had chosen to follow Miss Chu here. He was also starting to understand why He Sanlang had asked him to keep a watch on this newlywed wife of his.

His azure eyes glimmered and the corner of his mouth raised; all this was going to be even more fun now.

Chu Lian hurriedly waved away the offer. For the sake of placating Xiao Bojian’s anger, she could only say in a small voice, “There’s no need for that. I’ll just bring it back.”
