The man said this and took out a packaging bag.

Ana Shen didn’t answer.

He calmly took a step forward, stood in front of Chi Xingyao, and asked, "Hello, may I ask who you are...?"

When he first returned home, Ana Shen was kidnapped, and now he is a little more wary of strangers.

The man took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to Ana Shen, “My name is Ji Yuansi, and I’m Mr. Xue’s secretary.”

Shen Yinan took the business card and looked at it, then took the gift bag and said thank you.

Chi Xingyao was puzzled: "Wasn't he at the mall just now? Why didn't he come and deliver it himself?"

A hint of gloating appeared on Ji Yuansi's expressionless face: "He went back to the Xue family."

After the Cayenne drove away, Ana Shen held the gift bag, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Xue Du gave him another gift.

Although he was considerate enough to use a gift bag without a logo, Ana Shen knew that the gift from the other party must not be cheap.

For a moment, Ana Shen felt that the bag in his hand was very hot.

After dinner, Chi Xingyao sent people to the door of Shen's house.

"Are you really not going to stay at my house for two days? Chen Yuzhen and your mother are being so weird, I can't stand it." Chi Xingyao threw an orange over and curled her lips.

Ana Shen shook his head.

He doesn't want to trouble others.

After the two said goodbye, Ana Shen entered the house.

The lights in the villa were on, but no one was seen.

Shen Yinan was not surprised.

Chen Zhongcheng lives with Xiaosan, Xiaosi, and Xiaowu all year round. Bai Xiuli always takes Chen Yuzhen out to play, so it's normal for them not to be at home.

At this time, the housekeeper and the servants had all gone off work, and the whole house was deserted, without any trace of life.

Ana Shen changed his shoes and went upstairs expressionlessly.

He relaxed a little after returning to his room and locking the door.

There was a white wool carpet under the cream-yellow sofa. Shen Yinan sat down holding the little bear Nian Nian and took out the gift box from the gift bag.

Opening the box, a watch was revealed on the black velvet surface. It was made of white gold and the dial was inlaid with sparkling diamonds.

Shen Yinan took a photo and searched Baidu, and found out that this was a new model released by a luxury watch brand this year, and the price was around two million.

After seeing the price, Ana Shen felt that the watch on his hand became heavier…

With Shen Hua around, the Shen family didn't treat Shen Yinan harshly financially, but he would never spend millions on a watch. The watch on his hand was a gift given to himself on his twentieth birthday.

One hundred thousand yuan, Shen Yinan struggled for almost half an hour, and finally Chi Xingyao couldn't bear to pay him, so he reluctantly bought it and has been wearing it until today.

I only take it off when I bathe, and it has been well preserved to this day.

Shen Yinan thought about it and guessed that the watch on his hand was too shabby and did not fit the identity of "Xue Du's boyfriend".

But I'm still a little confused.

If that's the case, Xue Du could just tell me directly and buy it himself.

He can’t take it back—this thought kept popping up in Shen Yinan’s mind.

But he was afraid that his refusal would make Xue Du unhappy, so after thinking about it, he took out his cell phone, found Xue Du, and typed slowly.

I deleted and typed again, and it took a while before I sent it out.

N: [Thank you for your gift. I'm sorry for the expense. Can I give you a gift in return? ]

Just after sending it out, I felt something was wrong.

Shen Yinan stretched out his hand to withdraw, but the other side responded instantly.

D: [No need to return the gift to me.]

As if afraid that Shen Yinan would misunderstand, Xue Du sent another message to further explain:

[I'm not giving you a gift to get something in return. I just bought it because I thought it suited you. It's not expensive, so don't feel burdened.]

There is also a smiling little rabbit emoticon package below.

Don’t want to take back the gift…?

Shen Yinan bit his fingertips lightly, a little puzzled. Don’t rich people like them to exchange gifts?

But Shen Yinan always felt a little guilty if he didn't return the gift.

Otherwise... find an excuse?

Shen Yinan opened the calendar, looked at it for a while, and replied slowly: [Then...Arbor Day gift, is it okay? ]

Next week is Arbor Day.

In the near future, Shen Yinan can only find this festival.

Xue Du replied immediately: [Okay, I'm looking forward to it. ^_^]

Shen Yinan insisted on catering to his preferences and asked: [Is there anything you like?]

The other party replied quickly.

The boy's fingertips hovering over the phone screen paused.

Xue Du only sent one sentence——

【I like everything you give me. 】

Thin, thick eyelashes droop.

It was clearly just a simple compliment, but the feeling of steam rising from the tips of my ears came back.

Shen Yinan simply turned off the screen of his phone and put it aside, then took off his watch.

Turning his wrist, he stared at the inside of his left wrist for a moment.

A few messy scratches stood out across the smooth, white skin on the inside of the wrist. Although they had healed, they were still quite noticeable.

Shen Yinan has been wearing a watch to cover up the scars he left behind.

The fingertips of his right hand gently brushed across the scar, and the memories that should have been forgotten kept surging. He closed his eyes and forced down the urge to vomit.

Picking up the watch Xue Du had given him, he put it on carefully and covered the cut again.

Sure enough, it’s expensive for a reason. Shen Yinan felt that his arms were brighter.

He took a picture of his wrist and sent it to Xue Du.

N: [It’s really nice. Thank you.]

After thinking about it, he imitated Xue Du and sent a smiling rabbit emoticon.

"What are you laughing at, little brat? Can you hear me?"

Xue Du was hit on the head and looked up from the phone screen, glancing helplessly at his mother.

"I heard—"
