Chapter 31 Heirloom Jade Bracelet
The servants in the old house knew that the old man was coming back and prepared a sumptuous dinner in advance.
As the saying goes, "The first time is new, the second time is familiar." The second time Jian Mo had dinner with her grandfather, she was not so nervous anymore because she could feel that her grandfather was really kind to her.
After dinner, grandpa called the two of them to the study.
He is a Buddhist and he burns sandalwood in his study, which smells very nice.
Jian Mo casually looked around at the furnishings and felt that they looked familiar for no reason, as if she had been here before.
Huo Qichen held her wrist and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"It just looks familiar to me. Maybe I've seen similar interior designs while reading a book. Don't mind me." Jian Mo looked a little timid.
Just then, Grandpa took out an antique box from the cabinet and motioned Jian Mo to sit down.
"This is a relic left by your grandmother. Before she passed away, she hoped that Achen would get married soon. Unfortunately..."
"grandfather……"
"Here, there's a jade bracelet. It's been passed down from your grandmother's grandmother's generation. It was originally given to Achen's mother, but then something unexpected happened... Xiaomo, now it's time to give this jade bracelet to you."
When the box was opened, a jade bracelet lay quietly inside. It was of soft texture and very translucent. It was obvious at first glance that it was priceless.
Jian Mo never expected that this was actually for her, and quickly declined, "No, no, I can't take such a valuable thing, Grandpa, you keep it."
Grandpa said seriously, "Before your grandmother passed away, she repeatedly told me to give this bracelet to Achen's future wife. You are Achen's wife now, so why can't you take it?"
That's true, but she's not Huo Qichen's real wife! She can't take over his duties.
Jian Mo was in tears and looked at the man beside her for help. She tugged at the corner of his clothes, meaning, "Speak up!"
Huo Qichen felt that she had been laughing too much recently. Her eyes were slightly red at the moment, and she looked like a timid rabbit.
"Take it." He said suddenly.
Jian Mo's face was full of the expression: Do you know what you are talking about!
Huo Qichen's expression was indifferent. He held her slender wrist, picked up the jade bracelet and forced it on her. Her hands were originally white, and now wearing the jade, they looked very beautiful.
"As the wife of Huo Qichen, what can't I take? If you don't take it, does that mean you don't want to be my wife?" The indifferent tone of voice left Jian Mo speechless.
She couldn't possibly go against her grandfather's opinion in front of him.
The point is, we agreed to act, so why didn’t he follow the script?
"That's right," Grandpa said happily, "My daughter-in-law of the Huo family can get the moon in the sky even if she wants it."
Jian Mo was still struggling. Huo Qi Chen held her hand tightly and gave her a look.
"Jade nourishes the body, wear it with peace of mind."
"Then... I'll wear it first." He definitely couldn't keep this jade, he had to find a chance to return it to Huo Qichen.
At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound of rain outside.
Jian Mo hurried to the balcony and saw with her own eyes the heavy rain pouring down, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
She showed her worry and looked at Huo Qichen, "It's raining."
"It's raining, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon," Grandpa said, waving his hand. "Well, don't rush back. The road isn't safe. Stay here for one night."
The worries came true.
Huo Qichen had no objection, "Then stay overnight."
Jian Mo looked at him in disbelief. Did he know what he was talking about?
Huo Qi Chen seemed not to see her expression and walked out calmly.
