Though it was said so, after repeatedly confirming there were no issues with the crown, Luo Qinghan did not hide Xun’er’s gift. Instead, she told Xun’er, "Xun’er, this gift is very precious. Don't lose it."
"Mm!"
Xun’er stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself wearing the crown. After a few more glances, she took it off and handed it to Luo Qinghan, "Mom, you keep it for me. I’m afraid I’ll lose it."
"Ah… okay."
As Luo Qinghan took the crown in her hand, she examined it again. It did look a bit familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had seen it for the moment.
Perhaps she had seen similar flashy, gaudy trinkets.
It was also time for dinner, so she put the crown in a cabinet nearby and took Xun’er downstairs.
During dinner, Luo Buyu mentioned, "When I came back just now, I thought I saw Xun’er wearing a crown? Is it for a kindergarten performance?"
"No."
Lin Xiao served food to his family and said, "When we came back, we ran into Nangong Wushuang, and she gave Xun’er this gift."
"Oh, a gift."
Luo Buyu nodded, "It looks quite valuable. This Nangong Wushuang is…"
Mid-sentence, Luo Buyu immediately put down his chopsticks, stood up nervously, and asked, "Nangong Wushuang?!"
"Nangong Wushuang from that Nangong family?!" Li Xin also hastily put down her chopsticks and quickly said, "You dare let Xun’er accept a gift from that person? Where is it? Throw it away quickly!"
"Dad, Mom, don't worry yet."
Lin Xiao said, "I've checked it. There's no problem with the crown. I also found out that it was likely a crown custom-made for the Saudi royal family before."
"Saudi royal family?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qinghan also became confused, "No wonder I said this thing looked so familiar. I saw it introduced when I was watching the news before. I think they hired some special designer?"
"They hired a top designer from that country, who designed something that could be made as long as one had money. Besides the smell of money, I don't see anything else special about it," Lin Xiao grumbled.
Looking at the crown, all he could think of was to complain.
Hearing Lin Xiao’s complaint, Luo Buyu and his wife exchanged glances. Luo Buyu felt he was starting to not understand Lin Xiao.
Had he really been in the army all these years?
…
Nangong Wushuang and Lin Xiao meeting.
This was the biggest news in Shashi in the past two days.
Although it did not appear in any media, this news swept across Shashi overnight.
Everyone with any connection or who knew about the current relationship between the Nangong, Lin, and Luo families received this news.
Because of this, the meeting between Lin Xiao and Nangong Wushuang seemed so… dramatic.
And that gift further puzzled countless people.
Let alone them, even Lin Xiao couldn't figure out why she gave his daughter such a crown.
Was it really as she said, that she thought his daughter was cute and gave her a meeting gift?
Although this sounded normal, it didn't seem normal at all.
Lin Xiao had also confirmed many times that nothing had been tampered with on it.
