At the same time, he pressed his lips tightly together, a fleeting shadow of darkness passing through his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Su Yan didn’t notice the change in his expression and happily said to Mo Chen, "Thank you, Master Mo Chen. I didn’t expect you to give me such a precious item."
Mo Chen’s gaze drifted over Xiao Tan and then he smiled at her, "It’s not given, it must be returned later."
"Ah?" Su Yan’s face immediately fell, realizing it was only lent to her, not given.
Seeing her like this, Shen Wu said discontentedly, "How so, you wanted the young master to give it to you? It’s such a valuable item, it’s impossible to give it away. It’s already generous enough to lend it to you for a few days."
"Understood," mumbled Su Yan, but then she brightened up again, "Still, Master Mo Chen, I really appreciate it. I know this item is precious, and usually, you wouldn’t lend it to anyone else. I must be the first fortunate person to borrow it. Master Mo Chen, you are really too kind to me."
