Chapter 602: Heirloom
Lin Jian parked the car and got out, holding a bouquet of roses in his hand. He michecked himself all over again to make sure he looked perfect and took in a deep breath. He was going to pick Ruby up but she didn’t know it yet. He had been out of the city for two weeks and was scheduled to return the following day.
However, he knew that today would be her last day of campus so he made sure to be in the city in time to surprise her. Would she like it?
He took out his phone and called Xingyu for the umpteenth time. "Hey, is..."
"Everything is perfect, man." Xingyu interrupted him, having had to say the same words every ten minutes for the last three hours.
Lin Jian smiled to himself as he ended the call. He couldn’t stop himself from being nervous even though he and Ruby had been together for long enough for him to be certain that she would be overjoyed.
He waited at the gates and soon realized that he was not the only one. The place was filled with men and women dressed up and holding flowers, cards or presents. He looked down at his bouquet and was deflated. If everyone was giving their loved one presents for their last day of campus, what was so special about what he was doing?
He contemplated going back to the car and changed his mind. If Ruby saw all her former classmates receiving gifts, she would be sad if she didn’t get any. Even if she wasn’t surprised or happy, it was much better for her to be neutral about it than sad.
So he waited, ignoring the fact that his bouquet seemed to be the smallest and trying his best not to compare his gift to the extravagant ones he was seeing around. Of course, he could afford the most luxury gifts if he wanted to buy them. But there wasn’t anything special about them either since she could have anything she wanted.
He groaned in frustration.
"Lin Jian?" Her surprised voice pulled him out of his trance.
"Ruby!" He pulled her into his arms excitedly and hugged her tightly. "Congratulations, my love. I missed you so much."
