Huo Junyu didn't stay at home for more than a few days before rushing back to Jiangzhou.
Upon arriving in Jiangzhou, he presented the bracelet to Jiang Mianmian as if it were a precious treasure.
"What is this?" Jiang Mianmian was both surprised and delighted.
Before he left, she jokingly asked him to bring her something back from the city, even just a keychain, to prove that he was thinking of her.
Unexpectedly, he brought back such a valuable bracelet...
This gold-inlaid jade bracelet is exquisitely crafted and of superior quality. Even though she doesn't know much about jade, she can tell at a glance that it is very valuable.
Jiang Mianmian hesitated and dared not accept it, but Huo Junyu smiled gently, took her small hand and put it on her wrist.
“This has been passed down in our family. My mother said it should be given to my daughter-in-law for safekeeping!”
Jiang Mianmian's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Yes! My mom still wants to meet her daughter-in-law!"
"I didn't say that!"
"Um?"
"What I said earlier... is this your family's heirloom?"
Huo Junyu paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile. "Actually, it's not much of a treasure... This bracelet isn't valuable, you can wear it as you please!"
"I brought it back this time to express my feelings."
"What's the sentiment behind it?" Jiang Mianmian asked knowingly, her face turning red as soon as she opened her mouth.
Huo Junyu took the opportunity to move closer and put his arms around her waist.
After spending this time together, he was finally able to enter her bedroom openly.
Moreover, everyone in the family was exceptionally cooperative today. When Jiang Xiaowei went to her tutoring class, her parents volunteered to watch the shop, leaving just the two of them at home.
Huo Junyu felt a tickle in his heart as he smelled her sweet fragrance.
"Jiang Mianmian..." His voice was low and husky, with a hint of amusement, "You really don't understand what I meant by giving you this?"
"I don't understand. Explain it to me!"
"Okay, sure." Huo Junyu smiled mischievously and leaned down to kiss her.
Ever since that kiss, he's been completely out of control.
Once they've tasted the sweetness, they want candy every day.
No matter what Jiang Mianmian says, he will never use anything else if a kiss can solve the problem.
If that's not enough, then use two, use three...
Jiang Mianmian's small hand pressed against his chest, and Huo Junyu grabbed her wrist, pinning her against the desk, ready to do as he pleased.
But it was interrupted by a voice:
"Mianmian, are you home?"
Jiang Mianmian's heart tightened, and she quickly pushed Huo Junyu away.
Xia Zhi called out from downstairs, "Mianmian, your front door wasn't closed properly, I'm coming in!"
"Oh... okay!"
Jiang Mianmian quickly went downstairs and saw Xia Zhi already in the living room, greeting her with a smile.
But when she saw Huo Junyu behind her, her smile froze for a moment. Then, she awkwardly forced a smile and said softly, "Is your husband home too?"
"Yes." Huo Junyu said expressionlessly, "I'm her husband, where else would I be if not at home?"
"Oh, that's not what I meant," Xia Zhi said awkwardly. "I just heard from Mianmian that you often go to the store to keep watch, so I assumed you weren't home!"
Huo Junyu ignored her, and Jiang Mianmian tried to smooth things over:
"Xia Zhi, did you come to see me for something?"
"What, you don't need me anymore now that you have your husband?" Xia Zhi laughed. "I wanted to ask you to go shopping today! I heard there's a new mall that opened in the development zone, shall we go check it out?"
"The development zone..."
Jiang Mianmian didn't really want to leave.
It was a new district, sparsely populated, and most of the area was undeveloped. In the past few years, only this one shopping mall had been built.
If anything goes wrong, even the police won't be able to get there in time.
Jiang Mianmian found it strange. Xia Zhi was a lively person, but this mall was clearly an ice cave. Why would she choose to shop here?
However, despite her thoughts, she couldn't bear to dampen her good friend's enthusiasm.
"Wait for me a moment... I'm going to change my clothes."
"Um!"
The moment Jiang Mianmian turned around, Xia Zhi noticed something different on her wrist.
"Oh, Mianmian, what's going on..."
Jiang Mianmian looked down and chuckled, "This was a gift from Huo Yu. What do you think? Isn't it pretty?"
Xia Zhi was taken aback.
This bracelet looks like a high-quality item, while Huo Yu is just an ordinary truck driver.
How could he have something like that?
"Hmm, it looks really good!" Xia Zhi became suspicious and continued, following her words, "Mianmian, can you take it off and let me see?"
Jiang Mianmian was a little reluctant, but after glancing at Huo Junyu, she reluctantly took it off.
Xia Zhi's eyes lit up.
If this were put at an auction house, it would fetch an astronomical price!
"Mianmian," she pressed on, "can I wear this bracelet for a bit?"
"What?"
"I said, I want to try it on!" Xia Zhi smiled. "Girls can't take their eyes off pretty jewelry, so I want to try your bracelet on and see how it looks on my wrist!"
"Mianmian, you won't mind, right?"
Jiang Mianmian's smile froze on her face, and her eyes gradually changed.
How did she know she didn't mind?
She was particularly bothered by it, because this was given to her daughter-in-law by Huo Yu's family, how could she let someone else wear it!
"Xia Zhi," Jiang Mianmian chuckled, "if you want to see how it looks on your wrist, I'll put it on for you!"
"Why……"
"See? That's it!" Jiang Mianmian finished demonstrating and looked into her eyes. "This was a gift from my husband, so I don't want anyone to touch it."
"Xia Zhi, you won't mind about this, right?"
