Chapter 663 What is the origin
Seeing Li Jinxing's reaction, Nie Yao understood that he really didn't know about this matter...
It was not as the man named Xu Ziqian in the cellar said, that he accepted Lin Xiaoxiao's kindness and refused to acknowledge it, but that he had no idea at all!
Nie Yao thought of this and sighed softly.
"Yaoyao?" Li Jinxing saw her complicated expression and asked in a low voice, "What did Lin Xiaoxiao tell you?"
Nie Yao didn't answer him directly, but took his hand and said, "Come on, follow me upstairs to the room—"
Li Jinxing nodded slightly, followed Nie Yao out of the living room, and went upstairs to the bedroom. Nie Yao picked up the exquisite purse from the dressing table, took out the sachet from it, and handed it to Li Jinxing: "Smell it——"
"I've smelled it before, and it's really pleasant..." Li Jinxing took the sachet, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then hesitantly said, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Li Jinxing, think carefully, does the smell of this sachet sound familiar to you?" Nie Yao curled the corners of her lips slightly and looked at him seriously.
Li Jinxing was stunned for a moment, remembering the first time he took the purse from her hand. He did feel that the scent was somewhat familiar, but he didn't think much about it...
Now that Nie Yao had said this, he picked it up again and carefully put it to his nose to smell it. The familiar feeling came over him again, as if there was indeed such a fragrance lingering deep in his memory, giving him an inexplicable sense of security...
Seeing him holding the sachet as if lost in thought, Nie Yao knew she was right and whispered, "You really are very familiar with this smell..."
Li Jinxing finally came back to his senses from his reverie. He lowered his head to meet Nie Yao's understanding gaze, shook his head doubtfully, and asked, "Yaoyao, what's the origin of this sachet?"
"Li Jinxing, this sachet was made by Lin Xiaoxiao!"
Nie Yao met his shocked gaze and slowly spoke, "That's right. She embroidered the purse herself and put the sachet of Chinese herbs inside it. And this isn't the first time she's made such a sachet for you. When you were a child, plagued by nightmares, she made these sachets for you year after year to help you calm your mind and get a good night's sleep!"
"This is impossible..." Li Jinxing shook his head in disbelief and murmured, "No one has ever mentioned this to me. If she really did it, why didn't Owen and my eldest brother tell me once?"
"I don't know why they didn't tell you. Lin Xiaoxiao herself probably didn't tell you either, right?" Nie Yao asked thoughtfully.
Li Jinxing frowned and said nothing. He hardly ever saw his childhood playmates, including Lin Xiaoxiao...
When he turned 18 and became an adult, he took over the burden of the family from his eldest brother and began to run around for various investment businesses. He rarely returned to Liyuan, and it was even more impossible for him to have any chance to meet Lin Xiaoxiao alone!
"To be honest, I was also shocked when I heard her conversation with Xu Ziqian in the cellar. I didn't even know whether I should tell you about it..."
Nie Yao sighed deeply at this point, then smiled bitterly and said, "But just now, I saw her suffering from alcohol poisoning. After finally vomiting and waking up, she hugged you and cried loudly, thinking she was dreaming. I don't think I should have kept this from you!"
