Chapter 905: Chose to Go Abroad
Amid their conversation, Xiao Yu carefully avoided touching Shen Hanxing’s wrist, making sure not to overstep any boundaries, and finally helped her put on the bracelet.
Shen Hanxing’s wrist was slender, with cold white skin. Beside the red string her grandmother had given her, she now had a white gold bracelet, which unexpectedly complemented her appearance.
Xiao Yu looked down and sincerely praised, "It looks great and suits you well."
"What suits my wife?" Just then, a cold voice sounded, and Ji Yan approached with two glasses of red wine. He placed one of the glasses in Shen Hanxing’s hand and gently kissed her forehead before turning to look at Xiao Yu.
Ji Yan glanced at Xiao Yu, maintaining a composed demeanor, and raised his glass as a gesture. "Mr. Xiao, long time no see. What were you talking about?"
"Xiao Yu gave me a bracelet as a gift." Shen Hanxing helplessly explained to Xiao Yu, "I invited you here to share my joy, so it’s a bit wasteful for you to do this." She didn’t want her sharing to become a burden on their friendship. Even though her status had changed, her feelings toward her friends hadn’t, and she didn’t want them to feel otherwise.
"It’s not a waste as long as you like it." Xiao Yu’s face seemed to pale a bit, but a gentle smile appeared. He took a step back to a more appropriate distance and looked at Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan. "Actually, I gave you this gift not only to celebrate your return to campus but also as a wedding gift for you." He dropped a bombshell lightly, "I’ll be going abroad soon, so I might not be able to attend your wedding. I hope you can forgive me for being absent on such an important occasion."
Going abroad?
