Chapter 105: The Family Heirloom
Inside the box is a necklace. The pendant is a hollow small sphere, with a gemstone inside. No matter from which angle it is viewed, it exudes a luxurious radiance. Connected to the pendant are two small dragon-shaped carvings, with impeccable detailing showing the necklace is not an ordinary piece.
An Junxi admired the necklace carefully and asked Gu Yikun, "Is this necklace expensive?"
Gu Yikun held her slim waist and said, "This is a family heirloom given to Young Madam Gu by my mother."
An Junxi’s hand slipped, and the necklace fell onto the bed. She picked it up gingerly, startled, and asked, "Gu Family’s heirloom must be invaluable?" She couldn’t help but use the cloth from the box to wipe it twice before solemnly placing the necklace back inside.
Gu Yikun chuckled softly, correcting her, "Wife, you’re not quite right. It’s not Gu Family’s heirloom; it’s our family’s heirloom, now passed into your hands. Wear this necklace tomorrow night when we go to dinner at the big house; it’s a symbol of your status."
An Junxi felt very touched, "I didn’t expect your mother to treat me so well, giving me such an important item. I’ll wear it tomorrow. From now on, we should lock it up in your safe, or else I fear it might not be secure."
After speaking, she tucked the box under the pillow and patted it reassuringly, cherishing it.
Gu Yikun looked at his adorable wife and couldn’t help but embrace her, saying, "Wife, I’ll buy you another one in a few days."
An Junxi replied, "It’s not necessary for you to give me gifts all the time, but if you do, I’ll be very happy." Unexpectedly, her husband was also quite considerate.
An Junxi lay in bed, Gu Yikun turned off the light and lay down. She instinctively nestled into his arms, and Gu Yikun kissed her forehead lightly, "Tomorrow I’ll go to the company, and try to come back early to go with you."
