Chapter 115-Part 2

The customer service quickly brought in a breakfast consisting of a sandwich, a glass of milk, a fried egg, and a few slices of bacon.

Xue Hang absentmindedly took a few bites, then glanced at Jiang Nian, who was sitting in front of him reading the script.

Actually, Jiang Nian wasn’t focused on the script at all; she couldn’t help but steal glances at him. Suddenly, Xue Hang took out a small cobalt blue box from his pocket, pushed it toward Jiang Nian, and said softly, “This is for you.”

Jiang Nian exclaimed in surprise. Why was he suddenly giving her a gift?

…Of course, the joy of receiving the gift overwhelmed the surprise. She was so excited that her heart felt like it was about to fly away.

With a smile, she opened the box and found a necklace made of pure gold inside. The pendant was in the shape of a butterfly, delicate and beautiful, shimmering with golden light, as if the butterfly were about to take flight.

Jiang Nian suddenly thought of a phrase: “Breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly?”

She looked at Xue Hang and realized he was also looking at her. His deep and handsome eyes showed his seriousness and focus.

The necklace was something Xue Hang had chosen after visiting several jewelry stores.

He didn’t know what to give Jiang Nian or if she would like it. However, when he saw the butterfly pendant, the first person he thought of was Jiang Nian.

He hoped she could break free from her cocoon and become a butterfly, no longer bound by the past.

“Jiang Nian, the unpleasantness of the past is over. I hope you can live well,” he said. “You are a good person, and those unpleasant things were not your fault; it was their wickedness. Do you understand?”

Such Zen-like words should be given to every person who has been hurt. Jiang Nian nodded, touched by his words. “I understand. Thank you, Mr. Xue.”

Xue Hang smiled and nodded.

He noticed that Jiang Nian’s once despairing heart seemed to brighten up a bit. There was a little joy emerging from her previously despairing heart. Holding onto the necklace, she couldn’t bear to let it go.

He sighed with relief, realizing that this method seemed to be working. By giving Jiang Nian something she liked, he could slowly soothe her wounded heart and hopefully occupy a place in her heart…

This way, he could focus on eating. He hadn’t eaten much last night and had been running around all morning; he was truly hungry.

As he earnestly ate, Jiang Nian, on the other hand, was lost in the joy of receiving the golden necklace. She sneakily stole glances at Xue Hang, her mind a mess.

How could Xue Hang suddenly give her a gift? Did he really like her? Was he going to confess… but she wasn’t emitting any charm. Why would her benefactor be attracted to her? Could it be that her charm was too great? And she was destined to live a dissolute life; What to do?

“Pfft—cough, cough!”

Xue Hang choked suddenly, his hand forming a fist against his lips as he erupted into a thunderous cough!

…Too much charm??? How could you even think that?!

His face turned red from coughing. He stared at Jiang Nian, not knowing whether to be angry or embarrassed.

But in reality, he was more nervous.

He couldn’t even focus on eating for a moment. How could Jiang Nian know he liked her? How did she figure it out? How could she possibly perceive it? He had only realized his feelings for her last night!

Could it be that Jia Ping and the others had told her? Those few were whispering something last night. At that time, his thoughts were all on Jiang Nian, and he found other people’s glances annoying.

He had completely forgotten about this!

At this moment, even someone as calm as him couldn’t help but want to curse.

Jiang Nian didn’t think much about it; she simply thought Xue Hang had choked on his milk. She quickly handed him a tissue, saying, “Mr. Xue, take it easy. Are you okay?”

Xue Hang took the tissue, looked at Jiang Nian bustling around, and pretended to wipe his lips calmly. Then he glanced at Jiang Nian again. There was no way he would be okay; things would never be okay again.

As for that dissolute life…

Forget it!

From then on, Jiang Nian always received small gifts from Xue Hang. Each one was made of gold, starting with necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and various kinds of pendants.

Later, there were also some gold-plated small combs and mirrors, all extremely delicate items. Although they couldn’t compare to her previous wealth, they were more than enough for her now.

She deeply reflected on her inner self, profoundly realizing her own poverty. She was no longer the wealthy and formidable person she once was… So every day, she struggled with her inner self.

She was annoyed at her unintentionally overwhelming charm!

A life of dissolute and wealth requires a life to death struggle!
