Chapter 208 The Unique Ugliness (2/2)

Chi Yan handed a bouquet of flowers to Shen Tangning, raising an eyebrow: "These are for you."

She looked down at the crabapple blossoms in her arms, paused slightly, and smiled, "Why did you give me flowers?"

He had just sat down when he heard this and looked up. Remembering that there was no custom of giving flowers nowadays, he earnestly explained to her, "You can give flowers on any memorable day. Of course, you can also give flowers on any ordinary day. You can give flowers whenever you want, there doesn't have to be a reason."

Because every ordinary day is worth remembering.

She nodded thoughtfully.

After placing the bouquet aside, Shen Tangning resumed eating her noodles. Seeing this, Chi Yan said awkwardly, "These noodles are all soggy. If they're really unpalatable, don't eat them!"

She spoke slowly and deliberately: "No, I think it's pretty good."

She hadn't eaten anything that evening, and a bowl of noodles had already filled her up. Seeing Chi Yan staring at her expectantly, she suddenly realized what was going on and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll have the kitchen prepare some dishes."

"No rush." ​​Chi Yan took out a wooden box from his pocket and handed it to her, raising his chin somewhat reservedly. "Open it and take a look."

Shen Tangning was surprised that he had prepared a gift. She took the wooden box, opened it slowly, and was immediately dazzled by the dazzling gems inside.

She was somewhat incredulous, stared at it closely, and fell into deep thought.

"..."

She couldn't help but wonder, how could these colors be combined together?

Shen Tangning glanced at Chi Yan, seeing his arrogant look as if he was waiting to be praised, and pursed her lips, lying through her teeth, "It's quite unique. Where did you buy it?"

She wrote down the shop's name, planning to confront the shopkeeper next time. She couldn't just take advantage of Chi Yan's naivety and wealth!

These must be some old, unsold stock in the store, right? If it weren't for Chi Yan, they might not have been able to sell them.

Chi Yan tried his best to control himself, glancing at her and pretending to be calm: "Do you need to buy something so simple? I made it myself."

Shen Tangning was caught off guard and stunned for a moment, her eyes wide with surprise: "You did this yourself?"

He coughed lightly, completely forgetting the hardships he had endured, and said casually, "That's right, it's not that difficult. The shopkeeper said I'm a genius she's seen only once in a century!"

Of course, he added that line himself.

Shen Tangning looked down at the hairpin in his hand again, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. No wonder he had inexplicable marks on his hands a few days ago.

He was already very busy with official duties, leaving early and returning late, so it's unclear when he squeezed out the time...

She stared at the hairpin, its smooth surface revealing exquisite details. She could even imagine Chi Yan patiently and clumsily carving it with great care.

Although the design and color scheme were a bit ugly, it was the most thoughtful gift she had ever received.

Chi Yan suppressed a smile and casually explained to her, "This is agate, this is emerald, and this..."

He had given her many pieces of jewelry before, but he still felt that they were not enough and did not deserve her.

What kind of person is worthy of that?

He thought about it carefully and came to a conclusion:

The more expensive, the better!

"It looks beautiful." A smile played on her lips, and her tone became more sincere as she handed over the hairpin. "Put it on for me."

Chi Yan carefully put the hairpin on her head. Shen Tangning took in his focused expression and her eyes became slightly dazed. Suddenly, she remembered some things from her past life.

Actually, some members of the Chi family do remember her birthday.

That person was Chi Yan.
