White Moonlight 2

Uncle Zhou invited her to dine in the restaurant, offering a light comment on the conversation held in the study room.

"The young master is reluctant to let us see you too often," he said as he handed her a brocade box. "Madam asked me to give you this New Year's present because she's afraid you won't return for the holiday."

This madam was Mr. Xu's mother.

It was not expensive, just an uncommon velvet flower brooch.

But it was precious.

Uncle Zhou explained the specific reason for the gift: it was not a priceless jewel, but rather an item Madam had personally purchased from the hands of a citizen at a local specialty exhibition in another province.

But it had a good omen.

Uncle Zhou followed her along the corridor, "This wedding, the Xu family has always intended to give you, but because you were under the Hengli ritual previously, and it was inconvenient, nobody brought it up."

"I understand," she said.
