Seeing that Chu Xiaoran didn't want to talk for the time being, Nan Jinming didn't ask any more questions. He just told someone to boil the medicine and bring it over.

"I went to the jewelry store today. What did you choose?"

Chu Xiaoran's gaze fell on Nan Jinming. Seeing that she was staring at him with a sharp gaze, he became a little angry.

"Well, I picked out a pair of jade bracelets and a jade hairpin for Brother Mingli as a wedding gift."

Nan Jinming smiled and nodded, with a bit of childishness on his gentle face. Then, as if he had thought of something, his face darkened and he pouted a little aggrievedly: "Then... can you choose some accessories for me?"

Chu Xiaoran rarely saw Nan Jinming with such an expression in front of him. He knew that she was trying to coax him and divert his attention, but how could he tell her such a mysterious thing?

What if she thought about other things?

"I picked out a pair of earrings. Would you like to take a look?"

Nan Jinming's originally dim eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Chu Xiaoran in front of him: "Did you choose?"

"Yes, and there is also a silver hairpin."

Chu Xiaoran pursed his lips. These were all bought with the spare money Nan Jinming gave him. At least they were his own, and he was happy to spend them on her.

"Where?"

Nan Jinming looked around and saw some beautiful and exquisite boxes placed neatly on a round rosewood table not far away.

"On the table."

Chu Xiaoran patted the back of Nan Jinming's hand gently, then pointed to a table not far away. On the table were four brocade boxes of different sizes, neatly arranged. The smallest box contained a pair of white magnolia earrings.

Nan Jinming stood up suddenly and walked to the table like a child. She picked up the smallest box on the table. She knew that there were probably earrings in it. When she opened it, she saw that the white magnolia was carved vividly, the white chalcedony was white and beautiful, and there were silver ear hooks.

"Ran'er, you have a good eye."

Chu Xiaoran's body has recovered a lot. It must be because of the scene in the dream that caused stomach discomfort, leading to dizziness and vomiting.

"My wife has a good eye, too."

Chu Xiaoran stood up and walked to Nan Jinming's side. Looking at the stains on Nan Jinming's goose yellow skirt, he felt a little guilty again. He took out the embroidered handkerchief from his waist, bent down and was about to help Nan Jinming wipe the stains on her skirt.

Nan Jinming didn't understand the reason for Chu Xiaoran's actions for a moment, but after watching his subsequent actions, he understood a lot.

Looking at Chu Xiaoran in front of him, Nan Jinming felt a pain in his heart. He touched his head, and then when Chu Xiaoran was about to take further action, he grabbed his arm and pulled him up.

"If it's dirty, just take it off and wash it. Don't wipe it, or you'll get your hands dirty."

Chu Xiaoran's eyes were red as he looked at Nan Jinming, who had a gentle face in front of him. He didn't even dare to tell him the whole dream. He felt disgusted towards Pei Luoshu. That fat woman... why didn't she just die!

"What? Are your eyes red?"

Nan Jinming pulled the person into his arms, and soon he could hear faint sobbing sounds coming from his arms.

Nan Jinming gently stroked Chu Xiaoran's back. His thin back made his heart tremble. He was so fragile that he frequently felt a desire to protect him.

"I...I miss my father."

Chu Xiaoran's voice was a little hoarse, but the annoyance in his heart did not go away. After experiencing so many things, he found that no one could really listen to him.

"Okay, just think about it."

Nan Jinming didn't know the truth about Xiaoran's father's death, and neither did Chu Xiaoran himself. He only remembered that his father died when he was very young, maybe because of a serious illness, but...

"Jin Ming, can you accompany me back to see my father?"

Chu Xiaoran had only been to his father's grave twice, once when he was buried and once on Qingming Festival the following year. Later, his mother married Gu Yanshu and kept strict control over him, so he rarely went out.

"Well, wherever you want to go, I'll go with you."

Chu Xiaoran felt uncomfortable, as if countless thorns were piercing his heart. He knew that Nan Jinming's kindness to him was out of love, but...

"Thank you."

Chu Xiaoran's eyes were filled with tears, and he could hardly hold them back. Nan Jinming changed the subject and handed the white magnolia earrings in his hand to him with a smile: "Would you like to put them on for me personally?"

Chu Xiaoran took the earrings and realized that Nan Jinming seldom wore earrings or other earrings. The only thing he remembered was that she wore a pair of red earrings when she got married.

It was the first time Chu Xiaoran put earrings on someone. She picked up one and gently touched Nan Jinming's earlobe with her fingers. Her face turned red again.

"Put it on slowly."

"Ah."

Chu Xiaoran felt relieved after watching the silver hook pass through the ear hole. He was also happy when he saw Nan Jinming in front of him wearing the earrings he had personally chosen.

"Put it on."

"There is one more."

Since the first one went so smoothly, Chu Xiaoran had grasped the key points. He touched Nan Jinming's ear hole and immediately passed the silver hook through.

"Ran'er, I bought the Chu Family Cloth Shop and put it under your name. Now it is renamed Xiao Family Cloth Shop."

Chu Xiaoran was admiring the way Nan Jinming looked with the earrings on. When Nan Jinming wasn't smiling, she looked cool and noble, and when she smiled, she was like a spring breeze.
