But when she saw the slight downward curve of his lips, his genuinely aggrieved look, her heart softened by this appearance.
He was truly sulking.
It was just... too cute!
She smiled and reached for his hand, curling her fingers around his.
"They're not real gifts," she said softly. "At least not the way you think. I'm preparing something for them. Something… appropriate. And I'm starting it with these."
She didn't elaborate because she didn't need to.
Xuanyuan Ye's gaze softened as he said. "I see."
Of course, he knew the icy relationship between her and her family; there is no way she was giving away such precious gifts to them for no reason.
Even so, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Ruan Ji laughed at his behavior as she wiped a fake tear from the corner of her eyes, "Alright, fine. Since you dislike the idea so much, how about I gift you one too? That way, you don't have to be jealous of them anymore, okay?"
