215 A Light Hug
Shen Qiuhua genuinely liked the bracelet her daughter bought for her. Most women liked jewelry, after all.
After taking a closer look at the bracelet, Shen Qiuhua carefully put it back into the box and said, “Why would you spend so much money on this, Binglan? We could’ve bought more food.”
Shen Qiuhua was willing to spend money on her family but was unwilling to spend a single cent on herself. She would save every cent if she could.
Su Binglan saw how much her mother liked the bracelet. “Mother, I’ve earned plenty of money on the way back, so it’s okay. I bought this gift for you and will be thrilled if you wore it.”
She insisted on putting the silver bracelet on Shen Qiuhua. “I’ll buy a better one for you when I earn more money, Mother.”
Shen Qiuhua said, “This is more than enough, Binglan. You don’t have to buy anymore.” A smile hung on her face even though she said that.
Su Wenxiu explained from the sidelines, “Little Sister personally picked that out for you, Mother. She told me you had a bracelet that you liked very much, but you pawned it for our family’s sake, so Binglan said she wanted to buy you a new one.”
Shen Qiuhua was touched as she did not expect her daughter to remember that. Su Binglan also bought gifts for her big brother and sister-in-law and school supplies for the two little ones.
However, she did not reveal Luo Jin’an’s gift; everyone was curious and wanted to see it. Su Binglan said, “This one is for Jin’an. I’ll give it to him when we get home.”
Shen Qiuhua dismissed them, saying, “Okay, everyone. Take your presents and return to your rooms to rest.”
…
Su Binglan and her husband went home after dinner. Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an and said, “Aren’t you curious about what I bought you?”
Luo Jin’an looked at his wife thoughtfully. He said, “I will like whatever gift you got me.”
Su Binglan was stunned and did not expect her husband to say such a thing. She raised her head to look at him. At that moment, dim candlelight shined and obscured Luo Jin’an’s eyes, but he could not hide his otherworldly aura.
His skin was fair, but he wore black clothing that night. The black clothing against his fair skin complemented each other as he looked charming under the dim candlelight.
Luo Jin’an looked down at his wife with tiny sparkles in his eyes. His eyes were already breathtaking, seducing Su Binglan as he looked at her intently. Luo Jin’an was born with a natural passion and was very alluring.
Su Binglan’s heart raced, and she could not withstand such a profound gaze. She realized her husband had many different sides and that he resembled a seducing devil at night.
She instantly became misty-eyed. Then she returned to her senses, blinked, and said lowly, “I-I bought you a piece of clothing.”
She felt a little embarrassed after revealing her gift to Luo Jin’an. “W-Well? Try it on and see if it fits.”
The fabric was navy blue, and it was beautiful. Su Binglan thought that color suited Luo Jin’an well. She saw the fabric as she shopped on the way home from her journey. Still, she bought it even though it was a little expensive.
Su Binglan thought her husband needed to wear something decent since he studied at the academy. Although she did not measure Luo Jin’an, she roughly guessed his size and made clothes with the fabric on the way home.
Even so, she was too embarrassed to say she had made it herself.
Luo Jin’an looked at the clothes, especially the color. His expression changed. “This cloth looks expensive.” He knew that type of fabric was popular and costly.
“There was a discount at the shop, so I bought it.” Su Binglan deliberately said that because she did not want her husband to feel guilty.
Luo Jin’an did not move as Su Binglan raised her head and asked, “Don’t you like it?”
Luo Jin’an looked deeply at his wife, saying, “N-No, I like it a lot.”
His pair of affectionate eyes focused on Su Binglan as he spoke. Luo Jin’an’s eyes were compelling and could frighten one’s soul.
Su Binglan batted her eyelashes and said softly, “Try it on.”
“Okay.” Luo Jin’an went to the room to change his clothes and returned.
Su Binglan was amazed to see her husband in that clothing. She did not expect Luo Jin’an to look so good.
He was good-looking. If it were not for the scar on his face, he would cause a sensation if he went to town looking like that.
Luo Jin’an resembled the moonlight shining on the palace of the nine heavens, gentle and noble, like apricot flowers and spring rain, majestic and otherworldly.
Even Su Binglan thought he looked like an immortal.
Luo Jin’an noticed his wife’s expression and asked, “Do I look good?”
Su Binglan snapped out of her trance and replied, “Yes, you’re quite good-looking.” She meant what she said.
Luo Jin’an felt that the size was just right. “Did you make this?”
Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, I made it myself.”
Luo Jin’an’s expression changed, and it looked like he was about to say something to his wife. However, Su Binglan pursed her lips and interjected, “Were you going to say something?”
Luo Jin’an took two steps toward his wife and stood close to her as Su Binglan’s breathing became tense. Then he looked at his wife calmly and said, “I was worried about you.”
Su Binglan felt a warmth in her heart when she heard that. After all, Luo Jin’an had promised to tell her whether or not he was worried about her when she came back.
It was the best thing Su Binglan had heard since she came home. “I’m thrilled to hear that.” She felt a sense of familiarity with Luo Jin’an from the depths of her soul. She knew her husband behaved differently around her.
Luo Jin’an said calmly, “Can I have a hug?”
Su Binglan smiled slightly and reached out to hug her husband. She could smell his elegant and moving fragrance as soon as she got close to Luo Jin’an. She thought it was charming.
Moreover, she could hear her husband’s heartbeat. She seemed to hear a sigh above her head. Su Binglan hugged Luo Jin’an, then released him, saying, “Let me check your pulse.”
“I’m fine.” Luo Jin’an did not seem to care much about his body.
Su Binglan insisted, “I still need to check your pulse.” She would not be at ease if she did not check Luo Jin’an’s pulse.
After checking, Su Binglan noticed no anomalies. The cold poison did not take effect during that time.
“Your body is okay for the time being. Just take your medicine on time.”
