Shi Yao subconsciously took a step back before she vehemently shook her head. “I can’t. These things are simply too valuable, I can’t possibly take them—”

“I was the one who bought them. If I say it’s fine, it’s fine!”

“No, I really can’t…” Shi Yao’s head shook vehemently as if she was a den-den daiko.

“Since that’s the case, I guess I’ll just have to throw them all away then…” After saying these words, Lin Jiage started walking toward the nearest trash can with the bag of valuable accessories in his hand.

Shi Yao was taken aback for two seconds, and just as Lin Jiage raised his hand to toss the bag into the trash can, she swiftly ran forward and grabbed his sleeves.

Without saying a word, Lin Jiage turned around to look at her.

If I keep saying that I can’t accept them, is he really going to toss away those valuable accessories just like that?

Shi Yao carefully assessed Lin Jiage’s expression, but the serious look on the latter’s face seemed to suggest that he wasn’t joking.

In Shi Yao’s moment of hesitation, she visibly felt his sleeves slowly inching out of her grasp.

She tried to pull him back forcefully, but the disparity of strength between them rendered her efforts futile. At the last moment, she could only anxiously exclaim, “Thank you then!”

Lin Jiage nodded slightly, gesturing back a “You’re welcome”. After Shi Yao received the fresh flowers and accessories from his hands, he took them away again and said, “I’ll help you carry them first.”

Shi Yao replied once more with a “Thanks”.

Are all rich people this stubborn? So stubborn that if someone doesn’t accept a gift they bought, they’ll just toss it away without any hesitation?

But those accessories were really expensive… It’s not as if we’re that close, so I really feel guilty accepting something this valuable from him…

The more Shi Yao thought about it, the more unnerved she felt. After a moment of thought, she spoke up, “If you don’t mind, shall I treat you to dinner tonight?”

Lin Jiage had no problems with her suggestion. “Sure.”

But when Shi Yao thought about it once more, she didn’t feel like treating him to a meal was enough. After all, the accessories were really expensive…

She contemplated for a while longer before adding, “Why don’t we treat this as your birthday present to me then? And I’ll give you a present in return for your birthday…”

Speaking up to here, Shi Yao found that this idea was simply too fabulous.

Secretly giving herself several thumbs ups, she asked Lin Jiage, “… Is that okay?”

“Sure.” Lin Jiage was silent for a moment before continuing, “Do you know when my birthday is?”

Of course, I know! Grandpa Lin invites me to your birthday banquet every year…

But before Shi Yao could reply, Lin Jiage had already replied to his own question, “My birthday is on the 27th of October.”

Just like that, Shi Yao’s response was forcefully stuffed back down her throat.

If he’s so eager to tell me, then why did he bother asking if I knew when his birthday was? Couldn’t he just go ahead and tell me the date…

Shi Yao retorted in her mind for a moment before replying to Lin Jiage with an “I see” to indicate that she’d taken note of it.

After returning to the car, they swiftly settled where to have their dinner later on. Lin Jiage didn’t seem to be in a rush to start the car, choosing to take the bracelet out from its exquisite packaging instead, “You should try putting it on to see if it fits or not. If it’s not your size, we can still head back up and swap it.”

Actually, while they were strolling through the shopping mall, there was one occasion where Shi Yao had nearly bumped into another person, so Lin Jiage quickly grasped her wrist to pull her aside. Making use of that opportunity, he was able to roughly estimate the size of her wrist, but nevertheless, he was still worried that he might have made a miscalculation…

Shi Yao replied with an “Orh”, then reached out to grab the bracelet and put it on herself. However, Lin Jiage showed no intention of releasing the bracelet, so she could only present him with her white and slender wrist instead.

The bracelet was a perfect fit for her, not just size but aesthetically as well. She had a lighter skin tone which complemented well with the brilliant diamond and crimson strawberries, accentuating her youthful appearance…

Lin Jiage couldn’t help but stare a little longer at it. However, the words that fell out of his mouth were a million miles away from his true thoughts, “My sis is a lot taller than you, but it’s a good thing that she’s thin, so you happen to fit her size too.”
