âLetâs go in!â Shi Le took the lead and walked forward.
After a while, the two arrived at the luxurious living room.
Whose house is this? Itâs quite grand!
âOh, such a rare guest we have today!â Old Man Cheng immediately stood up from the sofa to welcome them.
Shi Nuannuan looked at the person who spoke.
Wasnât this Old Man Cheng who was at Mo Mo and Lian Lianâs full moon celebration last time? Cheng Huanâs grandfather?
Shi Le was a little stunned by his reaction.
Although he rarely came, he wasnât a rare guest.
Before he could say anything, Old Man Cheng turned to Shi Nuannuan. âNuannuan, right? Come, come sit.â
Shi Nuannuan was dumbfounded by Old Man Chengâs enthusiasm.
What was going on?
He pulled her to sit down on the sofa. Shi Nuannuan looked at her grandfather who was walking towards her.
âZhang, bring me the jade pendant that I brought from abroad last time.â
Hearing this, the butler, Zhang immediately went to the study room. Not long after, an exquisite box appeared in his hand.
âNuannuan, letâs see if you like it.â
Shi Nuannuan was still in a daze. She looked at Old Man Cheng and then at the exquisite box that he handed over.
What was going on?
This was only the second time she had met Old Man Cheng. Was he going to give her a gift?
But it seemed so out of the blue? What was the reason for the gift?
She didnât think she was that familiar with him yet, or at least not close enough for him to give her gift.
Shi Nuannuanâs beautiful eyes moved between Old Man Cheng and the giftbox.
âThis is...â
âGrandfather Cheng is gifting this to you.â
With curiosity, she took the box, opened it and found that it was a high-quality jade pendant.
Although she did not know much about jade, from the luster and finishing of the jade pendant, it was definitely high-quality.
âHow is it? Do you like it?â Old Man Cheng looked at her expectantly.
âErm, may I ask why youâre giving me a gift?â
âNothing, I just liked you very much when I first saw you! Itâs just a small token of my appreciation.â Old Man Cheng smiled happily and looked at the door again.
âWhy isnât this brat back yet? Didnât I tell him to come back for lunch?â
âI canât accept it.â Shi Nuannuan placed the jade on the coffee table in front of her.
One look and it was obvious that it was a high-quality jade. It might even be an antique. She didnât dare to accept this gift.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although her grandfather had collected a lot of these, she wouldnât accept a reward for nothing!
Old Man Cheng was surprised that she rejected the gift.
âWhatâs wrong? You donât like it?â
âNo, thatâs not it.â Shi Nuannuan shook her head but didnât reveal the reason for her refusal.
It didnât matter what the reason was anyway. She just couldnât accept it.
Old Man Cheng wanted to say something, but a voice came from the door.
âGrandpa, what do you plan to do by calling me back todayââ
Cheng Huan walked into the living room. Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Shi Nuannuan, who had also turned to look at him. It was hard for him to forget that face.
Shi Nuannuan? Why was she at his house?
When he saw his grandson, Old Man Cheng immediately glared at him! âYou little brat, quickly come over and greet Grandfather Shi!â
Cheng Huan managed to look away from Shi Nuannuan and walked over. He greeted Shi Le, who was sitting on the sofa, âGrandfather Shi.â
