Lin Chuxia did not answer, her eyes involuntarily and quickly sweeping over the gifts that had fallen on the ground due to the argument. Although it was only a quick glance, Gu Yuheng still caught her gaze.
He picked up the gifts from the ground, his face terribly grim.
"You hurt yourself over something like this?"
Seeing that he was about to throw the gift out the window without even looking at it, Lin Chuxia hurriedly shouted—
"Gu Yuheng, if you dare to lose it, I'm ignoring you!"
Then, taking advantage of Gu Yuheng's momentary hesitation, she pounced on him and snatched the gift bag from his hand, clutching it tightly to her own.
"Give me."
"No." Lin Chuxia looked at Gu Yuheng with wary eyes.
Gu Yuheng was silent for a moment, then said, "I won't throw it away, give it to me."
"No way!"
Gu Yuheng suddenly laughed, "Wasn't it supposed to be a gift for me?"
"I can give it to you, but you have to promise me you'll cherish it," Lin Chuxia stated her condition.
Gu Yuheng lowered his eyes: "Okay, I promise."
Lin Chuxia glanced at him hesitantly, then carefully handed him the gift bag.
Gu Yuheng took the bag, his gaze towards the gift box carrying a hint of hostility. However, when he opened the box and saw what was inside, his expression instantly became complicated.
"Gu Yuheng, my skills aren't very good, so the workmanship is a bit rough. Please don't mind," Lin Chuxia said weakly.
Gu Yuheng's eyelids drooped, making his emotions unreadable.
After a while, he suddenly spoke, his voice tinged with coldness: "You hurt yourself because of this?"
Lin Chuxia looked at him nervously: "Gu Yuheng, do you like this gift?"
Gu Yuheng didn't reply. He stared silently at the thing in his hand for a long, long time before finally replying with two hoarse words:
"like."
Does he like it? He probably does. But the thought of her getting herself all bruised and battered over such a piece of junk makes him unable to feel happy; instead, his heart aches in waves.
"Don't be so silly next time. If you want to give me a gift, why don't you just have a craftsman carve it for you? Why do it yourself?"
Lin Chuxia chuckled and then said, "I just feel that it's more meaningful to do it myself."
Lin Chuxia prefers to make gifts herself when giving them, feeling that this shows more sincerity.
When she first met Gu Yuheng, she became fascinated with pottery making because she wanted to make some tableware to give to the guests of Jinxiu Manor as a keepsake.
The guests at Jinxiu Manor are all wealthy and influential. Although Lin Chuxia's gifts aren't expensive, they are always full of sentiment and well-received. This is one reason why Jinxiu Manor has so many repeat customers. Some come for the scenery and food, but a small number come specifically to see Lin Chuxia.
At that time, Lin Chuxia had been learning pottery making for more than half a month and finally made a batch that could be sent out. However, the day after Gu Yuheng arrived, he crushed them all into dust. How could she not be angry?
Regardless of whether they are guests invited by her parents, anyone who offends her will have her dogs unleashed!
This wasn't the first time Gu Yuheng had received a handmade gift from her, but this time he felt only complicated emotions and couldn't say he was particularly happy.
He looked at her with heartache: "Didn't you ever think about hurting yourself?"
