A week later, Nie Zhan smiled as he handed a box to Lu Jiaxin, "Open it and take a look."
By the shape of the box, Jiaxin knew it was jewelry. She asked with bright eyes and a beaming smile, "What wonderful thing have you bought for me this time?"
As soon as the jewelry box was opened, her smile shone as brightly as the stars.
This time, Nie Zhan had given her a South Sea pearl necklace, each pearl as big as the nail on a thumb. These pearls, each round and pure, sparkled a dazzling silver-white, exuding an elegance and romance beyond compare.
Jiaxin was so delighted that she took it out and said, "Ah Zhan, Ah Zhan, put it on for me."
This was the first time Nie Zhan had seen her so happy about something; although she had said she liked the jewelry he had given her before, she had never smiled so radiantly. Clearly, compared to various gemstones, she preferred pearls and jade ornaments.
