Chapter 255 Heirloom Jade Bracelet
When Yu Qinghuan shook the bracelet, the butler Yang next to her narrowed his eyes, recognized the bracelet, and looked suddenly at his master.
That is the Cheng family's heirloom bracelet, and only the lady of the house can wear it.
But the master gave this bracelet to Miss Yu?
Catching a glimpse of the smile on Yu Qinghuan's face, Cheng Gongjin reached out and held her wrist. He stared at the bracelet for a moment and asked in a calm voice, "Do you like it?"
At this moment, Cheng Gongjin had a cold expression, and he seemed like a completely different person from the person who wiped Yu Qinghuan's hair last night.
Yu Qinghuan had long been accustomed to his cold and distant appearance in front of others, and even liked this contrast a little.
She nodded, smiling generously, "I like it."
The corners of Cheng Gongjin's lips curled up slightly. He grasped Yu Qinghuan's hand in his palm and took her to the carriage, leaving Butler Yang in the front yard with a look of as if he had been struck by lightning.
After the carriage drove away, he looked at the little maidservant beside Miss Yu, wanting to ask something, but afraid that he would not be able to bear the words he asked.
It is obvious that Miss Yu and the young master are in love with each other, so why is she being led away by the master now, and she is wearing the bracelet of the mistress of the house on her hand?
Is the master trying to snatch the person from the young master... or has he already snatched her away?
Otherwise, they wouldn't have ridden in the same carriage, holding hands without any awkwardness.
Does the young master know?
Butler Yang touched his chest and felt that he was too old to bear it.
It was the first time that Sang Ru saw Cheng Gongjin holding her daughter's hand. Apart from anything else, they were quite a match.
I just feel a little sorry for the young master's tea, alas.
...
In the carriage, Yu Qinghuan leaned in Cheng Gongjin's arms, looking boneless and soft.
She liked the smell of Cheng Gongjin. When she leaned on him, she felt as if no wind or rain could hit her. She didn't have to worry about anything and felt at peace.
After all, nothing can stump Cheng Gongjin.
So she raised her wrist again, rolled up her sleeves, and continued to look at the bracelet.
Cheng Gongjin lowered his eyes to look at her, "You like it so much?"
Yu Qinghuan nodded and asked curiously, "If it's the Cheng family's bracelet, how did it end up in Huai'an's hands?"
Cheng Gongjin's large palm covered her wrist. "The Cheng Mansion will be in his hands in the future, so I gave him the bracelet in advance. He didn't want it, so I returned it."
He did not say that the bracelet was a family heirloom of the Cheng family, but only passed it down to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cheng family.
Yu Qinghuan guessed something from his words. She looked up at Cheng Gongjin and thought that from this angle, his face was still very handsome.
"So, what does this thing mean?"
Cheng Gongjin lowered his eyes and stared at her face so close to him, especially her lips, which were slightly opening and closing at the moment, as if in a silent invitation.
His arm tightened slightly around Yu Qinghuan's shoulders, and the hand that was originally on his side had quietly touched the soft hair on the side of his body, and his fingertips unconsciously twisted the end of the hair to play with it.
Facing Yu Qinghuan's question, he flatly denied it, "It's just an ordinary bracelet."
Yu Qinghuan didn't believe it. If it was just an ordinary bracelet, he wouldn't have reminded himself to take it off. Moreover, these two people kept giving it to him, which showed that this bracelet was very important.
She casually asked, "Isn't this a jade bracelet heirloom given only to the Cheng family's daughter-in-law?"
Having been guessed correctly, Cheng Gongjin's Adam's apple rolled slightly, but he said nothing.
Yu Qinghuan was still looking at him and blinked, "Cheng..."
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked.
Warm fragrance floated in the carriage, and the sounds of breathing and heartbeats gradually became louder.
Until the carriage stopped, Daying's voice came from outside, "Master, we're here."
Cheng Gongjin raised his head slightly, his deep gaze still lingering on Yu Qinghuan's face, as if no matter how much he looked, it was never enough.
Yu Qinghuan smiled mischievously, "We're here."
"Yeah." Cheng Gongjin raised his hand and brushed away a strand of hair from her forehead.
The first person to get off the carriage was Cheng Gongjin. When Yu Qinghuan got off the carriage, she had just stood firmly when a veil was extended to her. The black gauze immediately blocked her vision.
If it was white gauze, at least she could still see something, but this one is black... I'm afraid of falling while walking.
Yu Qinghuan wanted to lift the gauze to see what was going on, but Cheng Gongjin held her hand.
A large palm wrapped around her, and a deep voice sounded above her head, "Don't pick it, I'll take you away."
Yu Qinghuan could only follow his steps and be led by him until she heard several conversations and the waiter's shouts of serving dishes. She immediately realized that it was a restaurant.
After entering the private room and closing the door, with the big and small shadows guarding outside, Cheng Gongjin took off the veil that covered her face and put it aside.
Yu Qinghuan immediately walked to the window and looked. Next to her was the main road of the capital, and diagonally opposite was Xifeng Tower. She didn't know that there was a restaurant here.
But compared with Xifeng Tower, the business is a little bleak.
She turned her head and looked at Cheng Gongjin, "Why don't you go to Xifeng Tower?"
Cheng Gongjin looked at her thoughtfully, "Do you want to go back to the palace and become the Empress?"
Yu Qinghuan suddenly stopped talking.
Soon, the waiter brought the dishes. The table was full of several vegetarian dishes, all of which were ordered in advance according to Yu Qinghuan's taste.
The tempting aroma of food immediately aroused Yu Qinghuan's appetite. She fixed her eyes on a plate of brightly colored stir-fried dishes, picked up some with chopsticks, and put them into her mouth. It was unexpectedly delicious.
Ever since she became pregnant, she has had no appetite for anything, let alone meat.
But at this moment, seeing the plate of braised pork in front of him, he suddenly wanted to try it, so he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
The warm meat melts on the tip of your tongue, it is fat and glutinous but not greasy, the skin is slightly chewy, and the sauce is wrapped in the meaty aroma, rich and mellow.
Yu Qinghuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his cheeks puffed up slightly, like a sated squirrel.
She couldn't help but pick up another piece of steamed fish next to her with her chopsticks. The fish meat was as white as jade and so tender that it seemed as if it had just been taken out of the water. It didn't taste fishy at all, only the freshness of the fish itself. It was even better than the signature braised fish fillet at Xifeng Tower.
Yu Qinghuan immediately raised his eyes to look at Cheng Gongjin who was drinking tea across from him, and praised him sincerely: "The chef in this restaurant has good skills."
Cheng Gongjin listened quietly, a hint of smile in his dark eyes. He gently pushed the soup bowl in front of her and said, "If you like, use more."
Yu Qinghuan immediately took another sip of the soup, which was very fresh and sweet. He immediately wondered: With such good craftsmanship, the business shouldn't be so bad.
After finishing her meal, she heard the sparse voices coming from downstairs, which was far less bustling than the Xifeng Building across the street. She held her chin with her hand and said with some regret, "What a pity! With such good craftsmanship and such a good location, the business is so far behind Xifeng Building..."
"If I were the owner of a restaurant, I would definitely spend some money to hire someone to spread the word."
At this time, Cheng Gongjin slowly spoke, "Do you know who is behind Xifeng Tower?"
