This evening after work, Tang Si returned home with the gift Su Jun had picked out at the mall.
When the Tang family saw Tang Si, everyone's faces lit up with smiles, and their attitudes towards him were exceptionally warm.
"Little Si, you're finally back. Wu Yan said you've been working overtime at the company these past few days, and your father and I were worried sick," Mother Tang knew about the emotional conflict between Tang Si and Zhao Wu Yan, and also knew that Tang Si wasn't coming back because he didn't want to see Zhao Wu Yan.
Father Tang's expression wasn't good, but receiving a warning look from his wife, he cooperatively said, "Dinner is ready in the kitchen, hurry up and eat."
Zhao Wu Yan solicitously walked to the entrance and placed a pair of slippers on the floor, "Change into these slippers."
"I can do it myself," Tang Si was unaccustomed to Zhao Wu Yan's excessive warmth.
Afterwards, the family sat down to eat. Tang Si was quiet and taciturn; it was mostly Zhao Wu Yan and Mother Tang who chatted. Tang Si occasionally chimed in with a few words, preventing the atmosphere from becoming too awkward.
After the meal, Mother Tang pulled Father Tang upstairs. Old Master Tang also wanted to give the couple some private time, so he retired to his room early.
"I still have some matters to attend to at the company. I'll be in the study, you should get some rest early."
Tang Si wiped his mouth with a tissue, did not look at Zhao Wu Yan, and said coldly.
Such cold indifference and distance made Zhao Wu Yan's heart feel as if it had been blown by the biting winter wind, a sharp pain like being cut by a knife.
She tightly gripped her chopsticks, suppressed the grievance in her heart, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
Tang Si lifted his suit jacket, took out a slender, sapphire blue velvet box from his inner pocket, and placed it in front of her, "I bought this for you."
After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Wu Yan to reply, he moved his chair and left the dining room, heading upstairs.
Zhao Wu Yan's eyes, filled with sadness, fell upon the sapphire blue velvet box. The rectangular box had a hot-stamped gold logo, a brand of international jewelry.
Seeing the gift, Zhao Wu Yan's wounded heart found a sliver of comfort.
She reached out, picked up the box, and opened it. Inside, against a black lining, lay a gold-chained bracelet. The bracelet featured two four-leaf clovers with emeralds, and in the center was a rhombus-shaped light blue diamond, which sparkled brilliantly under the dining room's ceiling lights.
This exquisite bracelet, Zhao Wu Yan recognized at a glance, was a limited edition, high-end piece designed by a French designer.
She had seen it online a few days ago, but due to her bad mood, she hadn't paid much attention.
She hadn't expected Tang Si to buy her this bracelet.
Four-leaf clovers represent love, and this bracelet's meaning was also to hope for enduring love.
Fourth Prince giving her a bracelet, could it be...
Thinking this, Zhao Wu Yan's bright eyes shone with a lustrous glow, and her slightly chilled heart was instantly healed.
She put the bracelet on her wrist and immediately went upstairs to the study.
Pushing open the study door, she saw Tang Si pouring water at the water dispenser. She immediately walked over and hugged him from behind, "Fourth Prince, thank you. I really like the gift."
She was deeply moved, as if she saw the 'spring' of her love.
Had their dead love finally been rekindled?
Tang Si's brow furrowed. He instinctively lowered his head to look at her wrist. Only when he saw the eye-catching four-leaf clover gems on her wrist did his expression immediately fall.
He knew what four-leaf clovers symbolized.
The man held his cup and looked at the water, which had previously had fine bubbles but was now normal. He said, "You're here, it's a good time to have some water. The fish tonight was a bit salty."
"Hm?" Zhao Wu Yan blinked in surprise, immediately let go of Tang Si, walked in front of him, obediently took the cup of water, and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Fourth Prince."
After speaking, she drank the warm water without hesitation.
This was the water Fourth Prince poured for her, an act of his care and affection, which she had to cherish.
