Mu Bai probably doesn't know about her severing ties with the Su family yet. I'll tell him when he returns from Lingzhou.
The ancients valued filial piety. I wonder if Mu Bai can understand her. She doesn't need to let that awful family affect Mu Bai's mood.
Su Ruanruan placed a kiss on Mu Bai's lips, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and propose to me."
"I have something else to give you." Mu Bai took out a brocade box from his bundle.
Su Ruanruan opened it and found a hairpin that was entirely emerald green, with a snow lotus quietly blooming at the head, lifelike. At a glance, Su Ruanruan knew that this item was not cheap.
"This... is too valuable."

Su Ruanruan asked in confusion, "A benefactor? What benefactor? Why would he give you this?"
Su Ruanruan was afraid that Mu Bai would be noticed by those noble ladies if he went out.

Su Ruanruan wasn't interested in other people's affairs; no matter how good the jade hairpin was, it was a gift from someone unrelated to her.
All she wanted to know was whether Mu Bai had prepared any coming-of-age ceremony gifts for her.
She put the jade hairpin back into the brocade box, held out her palm, and smiled slyly.
"Then... has Brother Mu Bai prepared a coming-of-age ceremony for me?"
"Yes, of course there are, but compared to this jade hairpin, they are really nothing special."
Su Ruanruan gave Mu Bai a haughty glare, "If it's not good, I don't want it."
She added, "How about we change the gift? I already have something I want."
