Shen Ningning laughed so hard her little body shook.
Before Mo Lingwei's expression could darken, she took the initiative and placed the Unity Lock in his palm.
"Here, for you! This cost me a lot of silver. I don't even know how many loquat candies I'd have to sell to afford it!"
Mo Lingwei raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Is that so? Let me see."
When he took a closer look and realized it was a Unity Lock, his expression suddenly froze.
Carved on the back were the words: Forever Bound as One.
Mo Lingwei: ...
"Why are you giving this to me?"
Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes, confused. "I thought you'd like it!"
She remembered the tone of the woman she had overheard the other day.
She immediately mimicked it, asking, "My dear brother, don't you like it?"
Mo Lingwei clamped a hand over her mouth.
Shen Ningning: Mmph? Mmph?
And for some reason, the tips of the noble Crown Prince's ears turned a suspicious shade of red.
