Chapter 470 - Happy Birthday In Advance
Su Wan stiffened but then a familiar cool scent of forest rain cocooned around her and she relaxed She twirled around and grinned at Lin Rui as standing behind her " Ah Rui! Why did you followfor you but I couldn't give it to you at dinner so" Lin Rui wanted to show the great haul he has brought for Su Wan but he was smart and observant, he noticed the claw marks on his brothers body when he arrived and kneas somewhat related to Su Wan's second uncle, Shen Zizhen so he didn't dare to give it to Su Wan while they were eating, and he kneith those two uncles guarding Su Wan, he wouldn't be able to sneak in her rooht either so he could only follow her in here
" You brought solanced at Lin Rui with a bit of confusion and exciteive it to me earlier? Didn't I come to visit you so many times before?"
Lin Rui chuckled at her childlike excitement and took out a delicate wooden box that was carefully wrapped in a soft velvety cloth and handed it to Su Wan " you indeed caetthat's why I couldn't give it to you before"
Su Wan took the box and carefully unfastened the string that rapped around it, the box wasn't big just the size of her paln drawn on it was exceptionally beautiful Golden strings like sea waves lined the seaolden hook that was snapped at place, she looked at Lin Rui asking hiht but the latter casually shrugged and motioned her to open it
It was easier for Lin Rui to say soical pressure the box looked expensive surely the thing insidereally precious, thus she snapped the lock open very carefully The second she lifted the lid of the box, a silver gloinkled, surprised she opened the box Inside lied a single pearl with such a lustrous shi+ne that Su Wan had to blink before she realized that she wasn't i like a littlepearl? Where did you get it from?"
As far as she knew no commoners could afford this little pearl that shone like a torchlight in the dark,? only the rich madams and ladies with a formal title could buy this and if the price alone wasn't a problem, it was extremely rare and was really hard to find in the small market in the town
Lin Rui's eyes filled with satisfaction when he saw that Su Wan's eyes were glued to the pearl He was really upset with himself because he couldn't find time for Su Wan in his busy schedule He knew that his wifeand only came to look for hi of his situation But the uilty and infuriated Lin Rui beca he could do, this was the path he chose for himself - but that doesn'tabout her, sometimes he wanted to skip classes to meet her but then he would remember the trust Su Wan placed in him
She wanted him to work hard and become an official, he couldn't let her down but he could at least sho ht?
" My roo journeys This tis and Qian Hongxin asked me if I wanted to buy this pearl for you and the pearl was so beautiful that with just one glance I knew that it will really suit you, so I brought it at once" idling rubbing he head he gently added " I just wanted to make it up to you, I know that you will never complain about ave her slight peck " but I still want you to know that I love you and I will always love you even if we aren't together every day, alright?"
Su Wan flushed at his heartfelt words, she knew that her husbands loved her but it felt really weird when they such things out of the blue and then all the butterflies in her stomach would flutter and dance a happy dance, it felt weird but the good kind of weird She snorted and then lightly slapped Lin Rui's ar her face " you jester! I don't even knohat to say to you, just a few months in the academy and you already learned how to flirt withthat his as getting shy, it was rare to see her blush like this "What's the matter, I only flirt with you"
Su Wan felt the heat rush to her cheeks as she gave a delicate sniff " Its good that you think like that because I would hate scratching that pretty face of yours"
Lin Rui chuckled " Alright, I will stop teasing you" he pinched her cheek and nipped at her bottoht this for you, I will have to stay in the prefectural city for quite so soon I wanted to wish you an illuht be impossible for me to do that if I am miles away from you that's why I ish you a happy birthday in advance, Wan Wan"
