Chapter 43: How Extravagant! (1/2)

Mo Beihan placed all the items in the basket, and left with Gu Qingyao.

The jewelry was placed in small boxes and kept in Gu Qingyao’s bag. Gu Qingyao felt rather embarrassed as she fingered the small boxes.

“Brother Beihan…”

“These are for you. You keep them yourself.”

“But these are awfully valuable! I… tell you what! When we get back, I’ll give you something in exchange. Alright?”

Mo Beihan smiled. He was happy to accept Yao Yao’s presents!

“Alright! I’ll look forward to it!”

Gu Qingyao immediately smiled. This man belonged to her anyway. Anything good that came her way in future would also belong to the two of them. Gu Qingyao would not argue anymore.

The girl before him was smiling brilliantly. He could tell that she was delighted to receive the jewelry, acting as if she had found some great treasure. Also, she showed no sign of being repelled by them.

This was completely different from the Gu Qingyao that Mo Beihan remembered.

In her previous life, Yao Yao had grown up in the environment of the Gu family. The Gu family were major landlords and her grandparents had to undergo rehabilitation. Their entire family lived carefully. In a special environment like that, coupled with the Gu family’s scholarly traditions, Yao Yao had developed a quiet and gentle personality.

Because of the composition of the Gu family, Yao Yao had always been somewhat repelled by jewelry and precious stones. It was not that she did not like them, but that she did not dare to accept them.

She was afraid of getting into trouble. In the Gu family’s circumstances, these things spelt danger for the family if they were discovered.

But the Yao Yao before him showed no signs of being repelled by them.

Also, Mo Beihan somehow felt that Yao Yao seemed livelier.

This was a good sign!
