Chapter 40: The Sunflower Necklace

Sakura Garden.

After the driver sent Han Munian to the door, he asked him to go back and opened the door by himself. The living room is empty, Aunt Pei is not there, I'm afraid she has gone back to the room to rest.

He changed into slippers and carried the paper bag in his hand, and he was also thinking about why he bought this for her, only knowing that she didn't seem to have a decent piece of jewelry, meaningful jewelry, and remembering her smile in the sun that morning, he felt that the sunflower could best represent her appearance, so he let people design such a necklace.

I don't know, will she like it?

Suddenly, he faintly heard the voice of someone talking, and following the sound, he saw a little light coming through the kitchen.

He subconsciously lightened his movements and walked over quietly, and the closer he got, the clearer the sound of someone talking on the phone inside.

Shi Nuannuan didn't notice the movement behind her at all, tilted her head and held the mobile phone between her shoulders, her free hands were busy cutting something, and there was a soup pot on the induction stove next to her, and the water in it was already boiling, gurgling and steaming.

Although Han Munian knew that it was not good to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls, he just couldn't move his steps to this scene, staring at the slender and weak back with his back to him, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded, dyed with a hint of brilliance.

"Well, I'm fine, don't worry."

“……”

"My aunt hasn't contacted me, don't worry."

“……”

"I know, I've quit my job at the café, and I'll focus on my studies in the future."

“……”

"You don't have to give me money, let them know it's not good, I'm enough."

“……”

"Thank you, Brother Shifeng, let's do this first, you rest early, good night."

Putting down the phone, Han Munian sighed faintly when he saw her, those bright eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and the sorrow in his eyebrows was imprinted in his eyes, making him feel a little dazzling.

But after only a few seconds, she began to get busy again. Cutting vegetables, putting pots, and putting seasonings, she was meticulous in every step, as if she was treating a work of art, so attentive that she never noticed that there was another person watching her behind her.

It wasn't until she scooped a spoonful of soup and tasted it on a small saucer that she felt that it was almost there, turned off the heat and took out her phone again, and hesitated for a while before dialing a number and putting it to her ear......

Almost at the same time, Han Munian's mobile phone in the pocket of his suit pants rang, especially abruptly in the empty kitchen, startling her, her eyes widened and she turned her head to look at him, and she even forgot to hang up the phone.

In the end, it was Han Munian who hung up the phone first, and walked into the kitchen step by step under her gaze.

"You...... How did you get back? She hadn't come back to her senses, and seemed to be frightened by him.

Han Munian glanced at the steaming pot of soup rice cakes, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but hook upward: "Didn't you make me something to eat?" ”

"Yes...... Yes......" Shi Nuannuan replied in a daze, completely led away from the direction of the topic.

"Isn't that out yet?" He raised his eyebrows at the pot of rice cakes.

"Oh......" He said whatever he wanted, Shi Nuannuan hurriedly went to the cupboard to get a bowl, and then put out the rice cakes, no more, no less, just a bowl.

She was about to take the soup rice cake out but was stopped by Han Munian, stuffed the paper bag in her hand to her, picked up the bowl and walked out, and didn't forget to take chopsticks for herself.

Shi Nuannuan looked at the paper bag in his hand and followed out, with a puzzled expression: "This is for me?" ”

"Hmm." He pulled out his chair and sat down, his stomach gurgling in cooperation.

The rice cakes were chewy, the soup was also very rich, and with the stir-fried greens and the fried golden poached eggs, this ordinary bowl of soup rice cakes unexpectedly suited his appetite, and even more satisfying than the dishes at the Qin family's dinner.

He suddenly noticed that the little woman was cooking food as if it was born to satisfy her stomach, and this realization made his heart throb again, and the darkness of his eyes became heavier.

Shi Nuannuan didn't know what he was thinking at this time, her attention was on the paper bag in front of her: "This is ...... Give me a gift for the start of school? ”

There was a hint of uncertainty in her tone, for the uniquely tactile velvet jewelry box alone made her feel that the contents must be valuable, and she was not sure if she wanted to accept it.

"It's made for you, and if you don't want it, I'll throw it away." He seemed to see through her thoughts, and a concise and clear sentence cut off her thoughts.

"How is this like this...... Overbearing......" she grumbled, her voice as soft as a mosquito.

Han Munian said without raising his head: "Don't think I can't hear it. ”

His words succeeded in making Shi Nuannuan shut up immediately.

The second hand is ticking, and although the restaurant is quiet, there is an unprecedented harmony and warmth.

Shi Nuannuan squeezed the jewelry box in his hand, watching him eat the food he made slowly, and a trace of satisfaction suddenly surged in his heart.

"Well, thank you for the gift......"

Han Munian's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at her, with some complicated emotions in his eyes, and even he himself didn't think it through for the time being.

Light a lamp and wait for someone, and this sultry summer night doesn't seem so annoying.

After tidying up the kitchen, the two went back to the upstairs bedroom.

The atmosphere just now was too good, as if some ambiguity should not have been added, Shi Nuannuan felt that something was not right, but she had never had emotional experience and couldn't think of a reason for a while.

Seeing that the two were about to go back to their respective bedrooms, she bit her lip and opened her mouth first: "That ......"

"Huh?" Han Munian stopped and looked back at her.

The light in the hallway was sprinkled over his head, leaving a shadow on his face, and she couldn't see his expression clearly, and she didn't dare to look at it at all.

"Good night." She mustered up the courage to say the two words, then quickly hid in the bedroom and closed the door.

Han Munian looked at the door that had been closed many times in front of him, and stood silently.

Shi Nuannuan sat on the bed in pajamas after taking a bath, looking at the necklace in front of her, unable to tell whether she was happy or confused.

Although she didn't know anything about jewelry, she could guess that it must be worth a lot of money, but why did he give himself such an expensive thing?

The fake couple relationship doesn't need him to send such an expensive gift to maintain it, and she can do her part well. Besides, in return for this relationship, the one million he paid off for himself was enough, so what was the point of him giving himself a gift? Is it really because he has so much money that he has nowhere to spend it?

However, girls are born to love beautiful things, Shi Nuannuan hesitated, but still picked up the necklace and looked at it carefully - she liked the sunflower pendant on it very much when she saw it for the first time, and carefully counted the diamonds on it, no more, no less, exactly nineteen, the same age as her.

Could it be a coincidence? Thinking like this, her heart suddenly swelled with emotion.

The diamonds are delicately cut and sparkle in the light. The more Shi Nuannuan looked at it, the more she liked it, she didn't even care about wearing slippers, jumped out of bed barefoot and walked to the vanity mirror, and compared it to her neck.

The fair-skinned and slender neck with a delicate necklace seems to be really tailor-made for her as Han Munian said.

She looked at it silently for a moment, then carefully put the necklace back into the jewelry box and placed it in the drawer of the dresser.

Of course, she couldn't have worn it on her body, but it was enough to make her happy to have such a gift.

She slept very sweetly that night, and even had a very beautiful dream, but when she woke up, she couldn't remember anything, but vaguely remembered that there was a pair of thick and warm hands in the dream leading her forward, walking a long, long way......

Probably because the dream of the previous night was too good, so the next day was a little late. When she hurried downstairs, Aunt Pei had already made breakfast.

"I'm sorry Aunt Pei, I overslept." She said with some reproach.

"It's okay, it's my job." Aunt Pei's heart was moved, and she liked this hardworking and gentle little girl more and more from the bottom of her heart.

Shi Nuannuan glanced at the restaurant and found that Han Munian was not already sitting in his seat as usual, so he asked, "What about Han Shao?" ”

Aunt Pei said with a smile: "Coincidentally, Han Shao also got up late today, just came back from exercise, and was taking a bath upstairs, and came down in a while, you eat first." ”

"It's okay, I'll wait for him to eat together."

Shi Nuannuan followed Aunt Pei and took the initiative to help in the kitchen, and as soon as she took the dishes out and set them up, Han Munian changed her clothes and came to the restaurant.

His gaze lingered on her empty neck for a few seconds, a hint of displeasure in the depths of his eyes, but he quickly looked away, pulled out his chair and sat down as usual.

A breakfast was eaten quietly and normally.

When the hour hand was about to point to seven o'clock, Han Munian finally put down the coffee cup, got up and put on his coat.

Shi Nuannuan, who had been calculating the bus time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took her bag and prepared to go out. As soon as the door opened, I saw that Liu Jianguo was already standing in front of the car waiting.

"Uncle Liu is early." Shi Nuannuan stopped and greeted him politely.

"Miss Shi, good morning." As soon as Liu Jianguo showed a smile, he saw Han Munian, who had a slightly gloomy face behind her, and immediately put away his smile and opened the car door respectfully, "Han Shaozao." ”

"I'll go to school first, goodbye."

Shi Nuannuan waved goodbye to the two, turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Han Munian's quick hand.

"Get in the car." He frowned, disgruntled in his tone.

"Why?" She blinked, as if puzzled by his command.

"I'll send you." Han Munian grabbed her backpack and didn't let go, grabbing her was as easy as carrying a chicken.

Shi Nuannuan waved her hand again and again: "No need, I can take the bus by myself." ”

Just kidding, if he had sent himself to school, what happened yesterday morning wouldn't have happened, okay? It's because she wants to avoid suspicion that she has gone around in such a big circle, and if she goes around it now, won't her hard work be in vain?

But Han Munian didn't listen to her, directly dragged her backpack and stuffed her into the car, and sat beside her without waiting for her to react, and closed the car door with a "bang".

"Drive." He said coldly.

"Hey, I'll really go by myself......" Shi Nuannuan still wanted to fight for it one last time, but it was a pity that someone took it as a deaf ear.

"Don't make me say it a second time." This time he said it to Liu Jianguo.

Liu Jianguo glanced at the two of them in the rearview mirror and noticed that the atmosphere was a little unusual, but he could only drive his car honestly: "Okay." ”

However, Shi Nuannuan has not finished solving the matter in front of her, but someone came up to join in the fun-

"Nuan Nuan, An An said that you took the car to school by yourself, where are you? Do you want me to come and pick you up? ”

Rao is Shi Nuannuan did not turn on the amplification, and her mobile phone, which was not very high-end, had clearly revealed the secret of the owner.

Shi Nuannuan stiffened, peeked to the side, and sure enough, he saw that the man next to him had a black face.
