"Zhinuan, I bought these especially for you, and you'll definitely look good in them!" Yuan Liuwang said with a smile.
The joy in his eyes was unmistakable.
"..." Xie Zhinuan looked at the pearl earrings and shook her head slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept them!"
"But, but..." Yuan Liuwang's expression darkened.
He had carefully selected them, and they hadn't been cheap, costing two taels of silver, yet Xie Zhinuan was refusing them.
"Keep them for your future wife; she will surely like them!" Having said that, Xie Zhinuan took a step back.
"I bought them to give to you!" Yuan Liuwang quickly spoke up.
"Even so, I don't want them. Just keep them for yourself!"
If she had liked them, she would have bought them herself.
She wasn't without money.
"..."
Yuan Liuwang felt somewhat embarrassed.
His feelings were sincere, and Xie Zhinuan knew it, yet she didn't respond, and she had never even offered him a smile.
