Trying to keep him in suspense, An Xiaoning said, “Make a guess.”
“Give me a hint. Tell me if it’s a male or a female, young or old. I’ll probably be able to guess after you let me know the details.”
“Make a guess.”
Jin Qingyan pinned her down and said, “I’m too lazy to guess, tell me, quick.”
An Xiaoning then mouthed the words with her lips.
“Really?” asked a startled Jin Qingyan.
“Of course.”
An Xiaoning sprung up and said, “Let’s go upstairs.”
Jin Qingyan carried her bag for her as they headed upstairs together and turned on the heater in their bedroom. “Shi Shaochuan is so obnoxious. I reckon he’s going to learn his lesson very soon. He has never shared a close relationship with his parents. I’ve always felt that he was closer to his grandma, from what I observed during my stay at his house. His parents are rather reasonable though, unlike his grandma, who has practically spoiled him rotten. You have no idea how startled I was when I saw Wang Fangfang.”
“I do believe in the existence of supernatural beings, but Shi Shaochuan doesn’t. That’s why he’ll never be guilty or remorseful towards the deceased. I know you don’t wish to see any more deaths because of this matter. But clearly, there’s nothing you can do, Xiaoning. We can only wait for him to realize it himself.”
An Xiaoning closed her eyes as she reached both her hands out, waiting for a surprise. “What is it?” she asked.
“Open your eyes and have a look,” said Jin Qingyan as he placed a long red box onto her hands.
She opened her eyes slowly to realize that it was a bright and sparkly red ruby necklace, which she instantly loved to bits.
She took a look at the logo on the box and exclaimed, “Wow, it’s from a prestigious brand. It’s beautiful. Must’ve cost a bomb.”
“Let me put it on for you,” he said, picking up the necklace.
An Xiaoning turned to the side to have her back facing him. She held her hair up while he stood behind and helped her put on the necklace.
An Xiaoning stood before the dressing table and admired the necklace on her neck as she kept her eyes peeled on her reflection in the mirror.
“Tell me, how much did this cost?” she probed.
“Just keep it. You don’t have to know how much it cost, it’s our money anyway.”
She smiled in joy.
Jin Qingyan would forever remember how pure and heartwarming her smile was.
It was a moment he held dear to his heart.
“Just how much did it cost? I just want to know. Tell me quick.”
“This much,” he said, pointing a finger out.
“10 million?”
“100 million.”
An Xiaoning gasped in shock. “One… one hundred million?”
“You’re worth it. Xiaoning, the necklace looks beautiful on you. Don’t ever take it off,” he said, holding her hand in his.
“What if it falls off my neck…” she asked worriedly. How could she move about freely with a hundred million dollars hanging on her neck?
“It will never fall off, no matter how hard you move about. Don’t worry.”
“But, I still think it’s safer to keep such an expensive and precious necklace at home.”
