The two of them ca to the jewelry counter.
Nangong Zhongli looked at the necklaces, with Liang Shaochen following beside her.
"Miss, you look really beautiful with this necklace, why don’t you try it on?" The salesperson greeted enthusiastically.
"This... is a bit too ordinary." Nangong Zhongli smiled.
At this mont, her gaze fell on a heart-shaped pendant necklace not far away.
The sharp-eyed and quick-handed salesperson quickly took out that necklace.
"Miss, this necklace is very special, representing a heart-to-heart connection. It’s the latest necklace from Europe. It’s said that if a man gives this necklace to the girl he likes, and she wears it, the two will be of one heart and love each other dearly."
Nangong Zhongli looked at the necklace, a smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and she couldn’t help but ask: "But, why is the chain of this necklace a red silk thread?"
"Because red represents heart, so it has symbolic aning, but if you prefer, you can change it to another chain." The salesperson said.
Nangong Zhongli nodded.
Turning to look at Liang Shaochen, she found that he was staring at the necklace, seemingly lost in thought.
Sothing flashed in her eyes.
"Shaochen..."
"..."
"Shaochen..."
Liang Shaochen snapped back to reality, "Hmm? What is it?"
"This necklace is beautiful, why don’t you buy it for ?" Nangong Zhongli asked, holding his hand.
Liang Shaochen looked at the necklace.
"The style of this necklace doesn’t match your temperant at all, why don’t you look at other designs?"
The salesperson was slightly taken aback.
Nangong Zhongli’s face turned slightly pale.
At this ti, the alert salesperson took out another one: "Miss, perhaps you’d like to see this one, symbolizing eternal love, it’s even more aningful than that one."
Nangong Zhongli accepted the necklace.
"Alright, Shaochen, how about this one?"
Liang Shaochen looked at the salesperson, "Wrap it up, please."
"Okay, sir." The salesperson said with bright eyes.
Nangong Zhongli watched the salesperson bustle around, while her pupils gradually dimd.
Staring at the necklace, suddenly, a cold smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
*****
Xia Xiaonuan returned ho.
The servant greeted her with a bright smile, taking her bag and coat.
"Young Madam, you’re back!"
Xia Xiaonuan smiled.
Suddenly, she rembered that she’s no longer the Young Madam here.
But now, she didn’t feel like dwelling on that.
"Young Master, dinner is ready."
"Alright." Nangong Yaoling looked down at Xia Xiaonuan and said, "Xiaonuan, eat sothing first."
At the dining table, Xia Xiaonuan only took a few bites before putting down her chopsticks.
"Xiaonuan." Nangong Yaoling looked at her, "Even if you can’t eat, you should have a bit more, your body won’t be able to take it."
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head, "Qi Yue’s life is still uncertain, I really can’t eat."
Nangong Yaoling sighed.
He stood up and walked over to her.
I’ll help you upstairs to rest.
The servant brought the bird’s nest into the bedroom, Xia Xiaonuan looked at the servant, rembering sothing, and asked: "Where’s Yun?"
"Yun... she has already left here."
"Oh." Nangong Yaoling rembered sothing, grabbed her hand and said, "I sent her back to the Xia Family. Now that you’re back, I’ll have soone call her back tomorrow."
Xia Xiaonuan smiled, shook her head, "Let’s just forget it. Yun has worked hard for half her life; if the Xia Family doesn’t need her, let her choose her own path. Now... my mom is gone, and I’m afraid seeing her will remind of Mrs. Xia."
