Chapter 42: Permission To Cuddle (Bonus - )
"Grandma, what were you looking for?" Xin Yan was inquisitive.
"This," said Grandma Xin, taking out a jade bracelet.
"This bracelet was passed down by my mother-in-law, and I passed it down to your mother as well; she was supposed to hand it over to her daughter-in-law, and I can only do this in her place," Grandma Xin said in a nasal voice, recalling Xin Yan’s mother.
Xin Yan’s mood also sank slightly. She was extremely close to her mother, and her death was a devastating blow to her.
"Cheng Luiying is our family’s daughter-in-law; this belongs to you and will be passed down to your daughter-in-law." Grandma Xin pushed her negative emotions to the back of her mind as she fastened the bracelet to Luiying’s wrist.
"It is really beautiful," Xin Yan said, as the jade appeared to glow in the light.
"Thank you, Grandma; I will keep this safe and pass it down to my daughter-in-law; this is my promise to you," Cheng Luiying stated solemnly, to which Grandma Xin nodded.
"Xin Yan, this is your mother’s necklace; she had always wanted to give it to you when you got married, but she is no longer with us, so you keep this little memento of your mother safely," Grandma Xin added, thrusting a necklace into Xin Yan’s hands.
At first glance, it appeared plain. Only Xin Yan understood how much this necklace meant to her mother. It was a symbol of love shared by her parents.
