Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother-Chapter 470: The Gift I Owe You

Bao Shaojin knew the young lady didn’t like having attendants around, so whenever they went somewhere to eat, he would always inform Assistant Lin in advance.

The private room they were in at the moment was like this; no waitstaff inside, and apart from a dining table, there was also a leather sofa for a short rest. Around it, pots of uniquely designed, precious vases were placed.

It made guests feel at ease and content.

Soon, after a knock on the door, an attendant pushed a dining cart inside.

After serving the dishes, they left quietly.

"One, two, three..." An Yin was seriously counting the dishes on the table, mentally calculating the cost of the dinner.

By the time she counted to "six," her heart twinged a little.

However, the man had said that the store offered great value for money, so it shouldn’t be too expensive.

The young lady muttered the numbers softly, and for those with keen hearing, such subtle sounds were crystal clear.

The young lady was very frugal, whether buying things or eating, she would always deliberate over it.

"Try this fish." Bao Shaojin picked up his chopsticks, selecting the tenderest piece of meat, and placed it in her bowl.

An Yin looked at the fish in her bowl in a fluster, lifted her head in confusion, and glanced at the man not far away, "Thank you."

Hearing her polite gratitude, Bao Shaojin’s gaze deepened.

Only when facing strangers does one deliberately express thanks, showing that in the young lady’s mind, he was merely an outsider.

The dishes at this restaurant were rather light, yet the flavors were excellent!

After tasting the first bite of fish, An Yin felt an immense satisfaction on her tastebuds.

Bao Shaojin didn’t miss the amazement in her eyes; it seemed Assistant Lin had picked a good place, he’d have to consider giving him a raise later.

When An Yin ate, she was very obedient and cute, with her eyes only for the food. She didn’t even want to say a word more, eating the whole time, which made Bao Shaojin’s appetite a bit better than usual as well.

Above them, red lamps suspended, illuminating the bright room, giving off a warm and elegant ambiance.

After finishing the meal, An Yin lowered her head, touched her slightly bloated stomach, feeling overstuffed. She had also eaten all the dessert that was later added.

She turned her head to look at the shoulder bag on the seat next to her, holding the bracelet she had bought.

She owed the man a gift.

At this moment, she thought of the anklet on her ankle, and her nervous heart gradually calmed down. It was just a return gift; why was she so anxious? Holding onto this thought, An Yin raised her hand, picked up her bag, and placed it on her feet, just as she was about to unzip it, a cold and deep voice sounded above her.

"Like the dessert here?"

"Ah?" An Yin raised her head drowsily to meet the man’s dark eyes and replied blankly, "Yes."

"I’ll have someone prepare a portion for you to take back to the dormitory later."

"No, no need." Even though it’s free, she had already eaten quite enough. It’d be too embarrassing to pack it to go.

"It’s fine, these things are provided free by the store anyway." Bao Shaojin’s expression was weary, sitting in a languid posture, but his words carried an innate assertiveness. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

An Yin glanced at the man, seeing his steady gaze, without a trace of embarrassment, she eventually nodded, "Alright, then I’ll take a portion."

This delicious item, after taking it back to the dormitory, would also be something Shi Qing could try, An Yin thought to herself.

"Mm." The man hummed lightly.

At that moment, An Yin’s hand had already reached into her bag, feeling the small plastic box containing the bracelet inside.

It cost her eight hundred yuan to buy it, which was quite an astonishing number for An Yin.

Bao Shaojin noticed the young lady bowing her head, looking sneaky, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "Something up?"

"Bao Shaojin, you gave me a gift during the New Year, this is my return gift."

The young lady suddenly stretched out her hand, holding what seemed like a rough box in her palm, speaking at an unusually fast pace and in a louder voice than usual. Bao Shaojin lifted his eyelids, and after hearing what the young lady said, his heart was moved.

So, the item in the box was the gift she was giving him.

Several emotions, almost imperceptible, flashed across his sharp eyes, looking straight at her, with gentle waves swelling in his heart.

"Thank you." Bao Shaojin’s thin lips parted lightly.

His slender hand reached out into the air, and when he picked up the box, his fingertips gently brushed against her smooth, fair palm, like a dragonfly skimming the water, causing An Yin’s body to tremble slightly, as if startled, quickly pulling back her hand.

The next moment, she stood up abruptly, placed her bag on the seat, and said in a flurry, "No need to thank me. I-I’ll go to the bathroom."

Following that, her tiny figure disappeared from the room.

Bao Shaojin watched her leave in a hurried and aimless manner, like a fly without a head, a subtle smile forming at the corners of his mouth.

In the silent private room, he slowly opened the box in his hand, revealing a bracelet inside, glowing a dark purple under the refracted light.

He picked up the bracelet and placed it in his palm, a chill sweeping across his body.

He had collected many rare treasures from around the world, including men’s bracelets, each of which was quite expensive.

The sandalwood bracelet in his hand could be identified as a handmade craft just by its color quality, and the material was probably not even average. Even so, holding this thing in his hand made it feel immensely heavy.

He accepted the young lady’s kindness!

Moreover, when a girl gives a man a bracelet, he feared the young lady didn’t understand its implications. Otherwise, given her timid nature, she couldn’t possibly have given such a personal item.

At first, Bao Shaojin didn’t understand the intricacies of gifting between men and women until Su Nan started attracting bees and butterflies, always telling him strange things, including someone giving her a bracelet. At that time, Su Nan approached Bao Shaojin with a frightened face, exclaiming, "She gave me a bracelet because she wants to tie me down. Oh my god, it’s terrifying..."

Bao Shaojin didn’t listen carefully to what else Su Nan said afterward, but he understood one thing: when a girl gives a bracelet to a man, it means she wants to tie the man to her.

He looked at the bracelet with a distant gaze, and then slowly put it on. Not too big, not too small, just the right fit.

Since opening the box, the air had been filled with a faint fragrance, something like wood, perhaps sandalwood...

Only those who understand scents would know how impure this smell is, carrying a poor quality aroma. Despite this, Bao Shaojin’s gaze at the bracelet remained nearly obsessively fixated.

The plastic box was placed in his pants pocket, and even the bracelet, was soon concealed by his sleeve, leaving no trace of the gift An Yin had given him.

In the quiet space, the man’s back appeared solitary and gloomy, the cool sensation from his wrist causing ripples of unrest in his once calm heart.
