After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

In that instant, Lin Gantang thought of many things.

If the jewelry was for her, why did he say it belonged to the company at the bookstore?

If it wasn’t for her, and Wen Yanqing didn’t have any close female relatives.. It couldn’t be for her dad, right?

Lin Gantang’s heart was in turmoil. The more her thoughts ran wild, the more uneasy she became. She wanted to open it and take a look, but she was afraid that it wasn’t too good for her to open it if it was something meant for someone else.

She glanced at the bathroom and her conflicted gaze fell back on the jewelry box. She picked it up with two fingers and looked it up and down.

At this moment, there was a sound from the bathroom. Lin Gantang immediately stuffed the box back into the inner pocket and sat down as if nothing had happened.

Wen Yanqing came out of the shower and saw Lin Gantang eating nuts. He glanced at the suit jacket beside her and paused. Then, he walked forward calmly and took the clothes away.

Lin Gantang’s gaze followed his movements as he put his coat back into the room.

Looking at his wet hair, Lin Gantang put down her snacks and went to the bathroom to get a dry towel. She skillfully dried his hair.

Wen Yanqing sat on the bed and suddenly asked, “Are you envious of Ye Qiuqiu? She’s married now and has a child. Her husband seems to treat her quite well.”

“There’s nothing to be envious of, is there?” Lin Gantang wiped his hair seriously. She could have an ordinary and happy life. Why should she envy others?

Moreover… Lin Gantang thought of Ye Qiuqiu’s future. Every family had their own set of difficulties. How could one know how much effort others spent to maintain this happiness?

There was no need to be envious. She was already an adult. Many people liked to show their joy and contentment to others, hiding the hardships and difficulties of life in hopes that others would think that they were living a good life.

Lin Gantang helped him dry his hair and rubbed it. Her fingertips ran though his refreshing hair, making them itch.

Lin Gantang was still thinking about what she had just discovered, so she probed, “Do you…have something for me?”

“How did you know I had something for you?” Wen Yanqing turned his head sideways and smiled at her. He stood up. “Wait a minute.”

Then, Lin Gantang waited for him to take out a velvet box.

It was not the jewelry box she had seen in the inner pocket. Lin Gantang felt a little regretful, but she still opened it under his expectant gaze.

The box was filled with pearls of different colors.

The white ones were pure, pink were romantic, gold were gorgeous, and black were mysterious.

Champagne-colored, cream-colored, natural silver-gray from the deep sea, each of them emitting a unique and magnificent luster.

There were also rare green malachite pearls, whose strong metallic luster changed with the rotation of the pearls, rich purple pearls that were accompanied by mesmerizing and dreamy colorful lights, and extremely rare deep blue pearls that were as blue as the ocean.

They were breathtakingly beautiful.

“Do you like it?” Wen Yanqing’s tone was gentle, and even the space between his eyebrows softened. “Some of these are fresh water, and some are from the sea – I put them together. Don’t they look good?”

Lin Gantang was taken by surprise.

She liked pearls, so he collected all the colors he could find for her.

How much time did he spend to find a box of pearls like this?

“I like it. It’s so beautiful.” Lin Gantang hugged the pearl box, her nose prickling. How could she not be moved by such care and love?

The slight uneasiness that arose because of the jewelry box had already melted away, leaving behind ripples that could not be calmed in her heart.

He was Wen Yanqing, such a gentle and affectionate person..
