Chapter 486: Chapter 486: What is this thing?
Early the next morning, Beichen Rui brought her boldly to move houses.
To say he brought her, it was more like he dragged her along. The two went inside, entered the bedroom, found a suitcase, and packed all the clothes from the wardrobe.
They hadn’t lived here for long, so there wasn’t much stuff. Other than her clothes, there were Jingxi’s clothes and some daily necessities.
There was no need for any moving company; this man was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Suddenly remembering something, she found a box she had put aside earlier, intending to pack it in the suitcase as well.
Beichen Rui stood by and saw the box, then asked, "What’s that?"
Hearing this, Ye Xinluo smiled, "A bracelet."
"A bracelet? Can I have a look?"
After thinking for a moment, she took the box out of the suitcase and handed it to him. He took the box and glanced inside.
Inside the box lay a pure gold bracelet quietly, engraved with exquisite patterns.
Picked it up for a closer look; the patterns were very intricate, likely handmade. This item looked like it cost a lot to make, seeming like a birth gift for a child.
He gave Ye Xinluo a suspicious look... As far as he knew, she was an orphan, unaware of who her parents were. How could she have something like this with her?
Looking at the inside of the bracelet, he saw an intricately carved golden rose etched on the inner wall of the bracelet.
It looked more like a family totem.
Placing the bracelet back into the box, he handed it back to her, "Is this yours?"
"Yes, it’s been with me since I was little."
The man squinted slightly, pondering, "Do you know where it comes from?"
"I don’t know." Ye Xinluo shook her head, pausing her packing movements, and smiled bitterly, "I’ve had it since I was a child, and as I grew, it didn’t fit my wrist anymore, so I took it off."
He walked up to her, pulling her to sit down on the bed, "Since you can remember? When you were in the orphanage?"
"Yes! I’ve had it since I was in the orphanage. Maybe my parents gave it to me!"
A trace of lost emotion flashed in her eyes, and seeing this, his heart tugged. Pulling her into his arms, he softly said, "I’ll be by your side in the future."
I’ll be by your side in the future...
"Thank you, Beichen Rui."... After a while, she regained her emotions and smiled gently, "Let’s not talk about this anymore, it doesn’t matter who gave it to me; I don’t want to know."
Beichen Rui pursed his lips, clearly understanding that deep down, she still wanted to know, but she wouldn’t admit it.
"Do you want to know who your biological parents are?"
Hearing his words, Ye Xinluo paused, her facial expression revealing her inner thoughts at the moment.
She clenched her fist a bit defiantly, "I don’t want to know. It’s been so many years; even if I knew, it wouldn’t mean anything."
Beichen Rui said nothing more, just reached out to pat her head, offering a doting smile.
...
In the evening, Beichen Rui took her to a famous restaurant in Z City.
The two sat face to face, looking at the delicacies on the table. She asked puzzledly, "Why the sudden decision to come here for dinner?"
The man poured her a glass of water, laid a napkin for her with one hand, placed the utensils on it, and only then did he speak, "I suddenly wanted to eat here, so we came."
"Then why..."
She wanted to ask why he didn’t bring Jingxi, but the words remained unspoken.
