So, this fan pendant was Song Jiyun's way of making an apology to him!
Yuan Yunzhong's eyes twinkled slightly as he slowly took the pouch from her hand.
"Thank you, Miss Song," he said.
The peach-pink Hangzhou silk made his slender fingers look even more lustrous and fairer than the jade itself.
Song Jiyun's gaze involuntarily lingered on them for a few moments.
Yuan Yunzhong opened the pouch, and two small deep brown wooden carved fishes, strung with bright red silk thread, fell into his fingers.
The fishes, about the size of a finger joint, had their scales, dorsal fins, and tails carved so vividly that they seemed to come to life. One of the little fishes arched its tail as if to leap into the air, the other raised its head and opened its mouth as if to break the water's surface. The distinctive grain of the agarwood added ripples of golden circles to the carving, like water flowing over their bodies, exuding an exquisite and elegant beauty.
