Ten minutes later, Liu Minglan came out with a delicate and quaint rosewood box. Inside the box, covered by two to three layers of cotton fabric, laid a high graded jade bracelet. Its surface was smooth and flawless with translucent luster. The bracelet was obviously a piece of precious jewelry.
“Muqing, this bracelet is a valuable family heirloom which was passed down to the daughter-in-law in our family for generations. I was already the fifth generation to have received this.” Holding Yun Muqing’s hand, Liu Minglan said solemnly, “I would like you to have it now.”
This greatly surprised Yun Muqing, who stared at Liu Minglan with her bulging eyes. “No, Mrs. Zhou. T- This is too valuable. I-I can’t—”
“Muqing, just take it.” Zhou Ying smiled. “It is a sign of recognition that my mother wants you as her daughter-in-law.”
Panicked and nervous, Yun Muqing kept glancing at Chu Feng, hoping he could help her out.
Chu Feng smiled and stood up while he directly put the jade bracelet on her wrist. He said with his gentle and firm voice, “It’s a gift from my mother, just take it, you deserve it.”
“Good girl,” Liu Minglan praised lovingly. “From now on, this is your home. It doesn’t matter if your family abandoned you, you have me by your side. I won’t allow anyone to mistreat you.”
Yun Muqing nodded while looking at the emerald green sheen reflected from the jade bracelet on her fair wrist. Her eyes reddened, deeply touched by Liu Minglan’s words.
For the past five years, she had been through all the difficulties and hardships alone without any help
from anyone. She hadn’t had the feeling of being loved and protected for a long time. This day, she was really moved by Liu Minglan’s kindness that she cried tears of joy.
Liu Minglan and Zhou Ying comforted Yun Muqing repeatedly. The family had their dinner in a heart- warming atmosphere full of joy, warmth and happiness.
After dinner, Chu Feng went out and sat on the lawn in front of the house. The sky was clear, stars were twinkling and moonlight shone brightly through the sky. Chu Feng gazed at the distance while he reminisced about the past.
Yun Muqing walked toward him and sat beside Chu Feng quietly. With a hand under her chin, she blinked her beautiful eyes. “This is where you lived when you were a little boy?”
Chu Feng nodded and said, “Yes. There used to be a huge field fully grown with lettuce over there. At night, there’s a lot of fireflies flying around the field under the bright moonlight. It was very beautiful.”
As Yun Muqing blinked her eyes and stared at Chu Feng enviously, the latter stretched and chuckled. “When I was little, my biggest dream was to build a huge house on this land. There will be lots of cows and goats and even flowers on the land. So, I can have meat for dinner and see lots of beautiful fireflies every day.”
Yun Muqing glanced at Chu Feng and raised her eyebrow. “Just like that?”
“Then, I will have eight or ten wives and hire a bunch of young and pretty servants, serving me every day.” Chu Feng broke into laughter.
“You moron!” Yun Muqing cursed angrily while putting on an ‘I knew it’ look. She complained, “You want
to have eight or ten wives? Are you sure you can handle all of them together? Hmph! Seems like you’ve been a pervert since you’re young, nothing changed at all!”
“But since I have you now, it’s enough for me.” Suddenly, Chu Feng turned around, gazed at Yun Muqing lovingly and confessed his feelings for her.
Flustered, Yun Muqing lowered her head while fiddling the jade bracelet on her wrist with her long fingers. Her eyes flickered nervously.
Suddenly, Chu Feng put his hand around Yun Muqing’s waist and pulled Yun Muqing into his embrace. Yun Muqing let out a yelp out of surprise. She found herself clinging to the strong and muscular chest of Chu Feng, which gave her a sense of warmth and security.
She tried to resist Chu Feng’s embrace several times. But in the end, she gave up and let Chu Feng hold her. They quietly enjoyed the brief peace in each other’s arms. Millions of stars were twinkling in the clear night sky as the duo snuggled closely together, their shadows grew long behind them under the soft moonlight.
“Brother!” Suddenly, Zhou Ying appeared with a worried face. She said with a sobbing voice, “There’s an accident. It’s father, h-he fell from the rooftop!”
“What?” Chu Feng’s mind went blank for a while. His expression changed abruptly as he rose and dashed into the house.
They were soon at the First People’s Hospital in Jiangling City.
“Feng, it’s just a little flesh wound. It’s not a big deal. We don’t have to come to the hospital.”
