Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1325

Chapter 1325: Chapter 1320: The Same Should Apply

For some reason, seeing Bai Qingyan’s ears turning even redder, Xiao Rongyan felt a bit nervous. He sat up straight and tidied the hem of his robe.

Bai Qingyan stood in front of Xiao Rongyan holding the brocade box, and opened it...

Inside was a pouch embroidered with two wild geese. The embroidery wasn’t exquisite, but it was very detailed, showing the care put into it. The lower right corner of the pouch was embroidered with the character "Yan".

"Did you... embroider this yourself?" The joy in Emperor Yan’s eyes couldn’t be concealed. He glanced at Bai Qingyan, then reached out to take the pouch from the brocade box. He found it quite heavy as if something was inside. Like a child discovering a new toy, he couldn’t hide his excitement, asking, "What’s inside?"

Bai Qingyan only smiled without speaking. Xiao Rongyan felt the pouch and sensed it contained a piece of jade. When he opened the pouch... a jade cicada appeared before his eyes. The white jade cicada was very similar in size to the one Xiao Rongyan had given Bai Qingyan, yet it wasn’t the same one he had given her before.

"A jade cicada?" Xiao Rongyan’s always deep, pool-like eyes showed undisguised fondness and delight, "Did you carve this yourself?"

Whether it was the jade cicada or the pouch, Bai Qingyan herself prepared every aspect of the gifts for Xiao Rongyan, even down to the thread...

Bai Qingyan didn’t want Chun Tao and the others to find out, fearing they would insist on helping her. So she put the embroidery thread and the pouch in this brocade box. Whenever she had a break from reviewing memorials, she would take them out to embroider a few stitches. Once she finally finished the pouch, she set about selecting the jade.

The kind of pure and almost flawless jade that Xiao Rongyan had gifted her was hard to find. After finally finding some jade with good quality, Bai Qingyan had to learn how to carve jade from scratch.

It must be said, Bai Qingyan was adept at horseback riding and archery, but handling embroidery and carving jade was like asking her to prune flower branches, a real challenge for Bai Qingyan. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

She ruined many pouches... her fingers were pricked by needles countless times, and a good piece of jade was cut into many pieces. Only after exhausting herself did she successfully carve this satisfying jade cicada.

"How did you know I carved it?" Bai Qingyan placed the brocade box aside, sat down beside Xiao Rongyan, brushing her dress carefully, "Maybe I had someone else carve it!"

Xiao Rongyan tilted the jade cicada and the pouch under the light, unable to let them go, and said softly, "With such inferior carving, this must be Kid’s first time carving jade..."

Hearing this, Bai Qingyan reached out to snatch the jade cicada, but Xiao Rongyan grasped her hand, instead looking at Bai Qingyan, who feigned being angry and embarrassed.

The candlelight flickered gently on Bai Qingyan’s exquisite features. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he slowly leaned toward Bai Qingyan, wanting to kiss her, speaking in a low and solemn voice, "Kid’s gift, I really like it. This is... the best birthday present I’ve ever received in my life!"

When Xiao Rongyan spoke, his thin lips almost brushed hers. After speaking, he gently kissed the corner of Bai Qingyan’s lips: "This kind of Kid, I also like very much, in... this lifetime!"

He once again lightly pecked her lips, which he had just kissed into a rosy red, causing Bai Qingyan to hold her breath and blush even more.
