Chapter 904: Gift
At this moment, the banquet hall was bustling with people coming and going.
However, after Han Yin and Chu Feng left, an invisible barrier seemed to appear around Shen Hanxing and Xiao Yu, separating them from the rest of the crowd. It felt as if the whole world consisted only of the two of them, amidst the bustling yet tranquil atmosphere.
Soft music and the chatter of the guests filled the air, but Xiao Yu seemed to only hear the sound of his own blood flowing and the pounding of his heart. He licked his lips, feeling a bit nervous about this illusion of being alone with Shen Hanxing.
"Why did you prepare a gift?" Shen Hanxing didn’t notice Xiao Yu’s strange demeanor and calmly accepted the gift, then smiled and squinted her eyes. "But thank you." She shook the beautifully packaged box and asked, "Can I open it now?"
"Sure." Xiao Yu’s throat felt a bit dry. He cleared his throat and replied.
Shen Hanxing lowered her head and elegantly untied the bow on the gift box, she was very focused and serious. Only at this moment, Xiao Yu could greedily look at her unabashedly without fear of her seeing his thoughts. At the Ji Family, she should be doing well. She was different not just in her appearance and attire, but also in her beauty. More importantly, she no longer carried the previous aloofness and stubbornness between her brows. She had become calm, gentle, confident, and generous from the depths of her heart.
Shen Hanxing had matured early since she was young. When other children were still playing, she already had a clear goal. Perhaps it was because she grew up in the slums. She knew the importance of money since she was young and her shoulders bore the burden of life early on. Therefore, Shen Hanxing’s eyes were always filled with calmness and worry that did not match her age, forcing herself to become a mature adult. But now, there was always a light sense of joy in the corners of her eyes, and every move of hers carried the charm and playfulness of her age. Occasionally, she would even be mischievous and cunning.
That was great.
