Qiao Nian was playing Candy Crush Saga. When she was distracted, her finger slipped and the game sound effect "game over" was heard, which was particularly abrupt in the quiet restaurant.
Damn!
Qiao Nian had to raise his head and meet someone's straight eyes. He paused and said, "Well, as long as you like it."
"Then how can I thank Master Qiao?" Ye Wangchuan turned the ring in his hand, feeling extremely happy: "How about giving yourself to me?"
Qiao Nian: "...Didn't you already make a promise?"
Ye Wangchuan stared at her for a few seconds, her shadow imprinted in his dark eyes, and then he naturally took off the Buddhist beads on his wrist that Qiao Nian had seen him wearing when they first met, and handed it to her: "This is a return gift."
He directly took the girl's hand, and with an irresistible attitude, he put a string of Buddhist beads on the girl's left wrist.
Qiao Nian smelled the lingering sandalwood scent on him.
Ye Wangchuan's fingers stopped and gently touched her wrist where the Buddhist beads were worn. Qiao Nian felt a tingling sensation on her back and a fine touch flowing where they touched.
"This string of Buddhist beads was obtained from a master in Yinghua Mountain when the old lady was still alive. It has been with me since I was born. It is said that it can suppress the inner demons."
He was born without a mother.
The old lady in the family was afraid that he would be hurt because of this incident when he grew up, so she went to a master to ask for a string of Buddhist beads, hoping that they would both ensure his safety and allow him to grow up in love without developing any inner demons.
Of course, this is what the old lady said.
The old lady died early.
Ever since he can remember, he has been wearing this string of Buddhist beads on his hand. At the beginning, he had to wrap it around many times, but now he only needs one or two times.
This is not just a string of Buddhist beads, but the true heart he can give.
They are not short of money and care about very few things.
But it was one of the things he cared about.
Of course not as important as Qiao Nian.
"She is a very good person, kind and gentle, very tolerant, and a great cook. If you meet her, you will like her, too."
Ye Wangchuan was lost in memories for a moment, but soon came back to his senses. He looked at Qiao Nian with deep eyes. He had a high nose bridge and very long eyelashes. He smiled suddenly: "Of course, she will like you too."
Qiao Nian knew that the string of Buddhist beads he gave her was his grandmother's relic and had great significance, so she pursed her lips and said, "After we are done with our work in a few days, we can go see her when we go see her."
Ye Wangchuan was stunned for a moment, then he understood what she meant.
Like a drop of water falling into a quiet lake, the ripples it creates expand in circles until they occupy the center of the lake.
His voice became hoarse: "Yeah."

On the other side, at the same time.
Li family.
Li De had just changed into a white suit and tied a bow tie around his neck when he heard the person his grandmother mentioned in the conversation with his parents in the living room.
He instantly shook off the servant who was getting him a suit and walked over quickly.
"Grandma, what did you say? Who are you going to take?"
"What are you doing! How can you talk to your grandma like that? It's bad enough that you're always lazy, but you're also so unruly at home." Father Li angrily scolded him to go back.
Li De didn't listen, frowned, and looked at his grandmother intently: "Grandma, are you going to take Haitong to the birthday party?"
The old lady, who was wearing a modified cheongsam and a tourmaline necklace to accentuate her noble appearance, was in high spirits. She looked at him with a somewhat surprised expression: "Do you know him?"
"… "
The old lady frowned again: "She just came back from studying abroad, and you already know her?"
