Chapter 884: A Precious Greeting Gift
“Let’s go in!” s.h.i.+ Le took the lead and walked forward.
After a while, the two arrived at the luxurious living room.
Whose house is this? It’s quite grand!
“Oh, such a rare guest we have today!” Old Man Cheng immediately stood up from the sofa to welcome them.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan looked at the person who spoke.
Wasn’t this Old Man Cheng who was at Mo Mo and Lian Lian’s full moon celebration last time? Cheng Huan’s grandfather?
s.h.i.+ Le was a little stunned by his reaction.
Although he rarely came, he wasn’t a rare guest.
Before he could say anything, Old Man Cheng turned to s.h.i.+ Nuannuan. “Nuannuan, right? Come, come sit.”
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was dumbfounded by Old Man Cheng’s enthusiasm.
What was going on?
He pulled her to sit down on the sofa. s.h.i.+ Nuannuan looked at her grandfather who was walking towards her.
“Zhang, bring me the jade pendant that I brought from abroad last time.”
Hearing this, the butler, Zhang immediately went to the study room. Not long after, an exquisite box appeared in his hand.
“Nuannuan, let’s see if you like it.”
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was still in a daze. She looked at Old Man Cheng and then at the exquisite box that he handed over.
What was going on?
This was only the second time she had met Old Man Cheng. Was he going to give her a gift?
But it seemed so out of the blue? What was the reason for the gift?
She didn’t think she was that familiar with him yet, or at least not close enough for him to give her gift.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan’s beautiful eyes moved between Old Man Cheng and the giftbox.
“This is…”
“Grandfather Cheng is gifting this to you.”
With curiosity, she took the box, opened it and found that it was a high-quality jade pendant.
Although she did not know much about jade, from the l.u.s.ter and finis.h.i.+ng of the jade pendant, it was definitely high-quality.
“How is it? Do you like it?” Old Man Cheng looked at her expectantly.
“Erm, may I ask why you’re giving me a gift?”
“Nothing, I just liked you very much when I first saw you! It’s just a small token of my appreciation.” Old Man Cheng smiled happily and looked at the door again.
‘Why isn’t this brat back yet? Didn’t I tell him to come back for lunch?’
“I can’t accept it.” s.h.i.+ Nuannuan placed the jade on the coffee table in front of her.
One look and it was obvious that it was a high-quality jade. It might even be an antique. She didn’t dare to accept this gift.
Although her grandfather had collected a lot of these, she wouldn’t accept a reward for nothing!
Old Man Cheng was surprised that she rejected the gift.
“What’s wrong? You don’t like it?”
“No, that’s not it.” s.h.i.+ Nuannuan shook her head but didn’t reveal the reason for her refusal.
It didn’t matter what the reason was anyway. She just couldn’t accept it.
Old Man Cheng wanted to say something, but a voice came from the door.
“Grandpa, what do you plan to do by calling me back today—”
Cheng Huan walked into the living room. Before he could finish his sentence, he saw s.h.i.+ Nuannuan, who had also turned to look at him. It was hard for him to forget that face.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan? Why was she at his house?
When he saw his grandson, Old Man Cheng immediately glared at him! “You little brat, quickly come over and greet Grandfather s.h.i.+!”
Cheng Huan managed to look away from s.h.i.+ Nuannuan and walked over. He greeted s.h.i.+ Le, who was sitting on the sofa, “Grandfather s.h.i.+.”
