Nangong Zhongli heard the voice, the corners of her lips curved up slightly, and she accepted the gift box and opened it.
The next second, when she saw the necklace inside the box, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hand.
"This..."
"I chose this gift a long ti ago, but never gave it to you. Today, since we happened to et, I hope you like it."
Shaochen said with a smile.
Nangong Zhongli looked at Shaochen in disbelief.
In an instant, her eyes were slightly red.
Once upon a ti, she dread of receiving this necklace from him.
She thought that when the necklace was taken away, he had given it to Xia Xiaonuan.
But, unexpectedly... it was really bought for her?
Nangong Zhongli could hardly believe her eyes and ears.
"You... are you serious? Is this necklace really ant for ?"
Shaochen looked at her, not answering, but instead got up, took the necklace from the gift box, and walked behind Nangong Zhongli.
"Let put it on for you."
Nangong Zhongli trembled slightly and nodded heavily.
Shaochen reached out his hand, gently moved her hair aside.
He fastened the necklace from the front and then secured the clasp at the back.
However, while fastening the clasp, his movents froze for a mont.
His gaze fixed on the woman in front of him.
In his mind, Xia Xiaonuan’s face appeared.
He had imagined, that he would personally put it on his Qiqi...
Shaochen, what are you doing?
Are you crazy?
No... he wasn’t crazy, he had simply co to realize the reality clearly.
His Qiqi, was no longer the Qiqi of the past, and why should he foolishly hold on to a hollow past?
Xia Xiaonuan, even without you, I can still live well.
But, you must understand, losing ans losing soone who loves you deeply.
Shaochen fastened the clasp, Nangong Zhongli lifted her eyes, her gaze t his.
For almost a second, what he saw before him was not the face of Nangong Zhongli.
However, the scent of her perfu reminded him, and brought his rationality back.
He smiled at her.
"Does it look good?" Nangong Zhongli asked apprehensively.
Shaochen sat down in front of her, looked at her and said, "This necklace truly suits you."
Nangong Zhongli asked in confusion, "But didn’t you say that day, this necklace..."
"How else could I surprise you?"
Nangong Zhongli lowered her eyes slightly.
"Shaochen... thank you."
Shaochen looked at her: "Alright... hurry and order the al."
Nangong Zhongli nodded.

Ti slipped by like water.
A week later.
Xia Xiaonuan finished her bath and ca out of the bathroom, hearing Nangong Yaoling on the phone.
"Yes, I know. Okay, please tell Mr. Tang that I will attend. Alright."
While Xia Xiaonuan dried her hair, she applied lotion, looked at Nangong Yaoling and asked, "Whose call was that?"
Nangong Yaoling extended his hand to her.
Xia Xiaonuan walked over to him, and Nangong Yaoling held her, looked at her and said, "In a few days is the Tang Group’s Elder Tang’s birthday banquet. My grandfather and Elder Tang are old acquaintances, and I’ve been invited to attend."
"Oh." Xia Xiaonuan smiled and nodded, "Should I go with you?"
She knew that in such occasions, especially attending an elder’s birthday banquet, she should attend as Nangong Yaoling’s wife.
Nangong Yaoling opened a nearby drawer, took out a hairdryer.
He thought for a mont and asked, "Can you manage?" His gaze flicked to her abdon.
"It’s fine, but...
