After dinner, Green Qi tidied up the kitchen and brewed a cup of Ginseng Tea before turning to leave for the living room. She scanned the room but did not see Mu Tongzi, so she took her Ginseng Tea upstairs.
The light in the study on the second floor was on. She knocked on the door and received a response from inside, prompting her to push the door open. Stepping into the study, she spotted that familiar figure on the Daybed.
Carrying her warm cup of Ginseng Tea, she walked over and looked up at the figure reclining across from her. He had changed from his bathrobe into a gray embroidered nightgown. The faint herbal fragrance emanating from him mingled with a subtle scent of books, creating a comfortable and pleasant aroma.
He held a thick book in his hands, his long fingers flipping through the pages, producing a soft and crisp sound that filled the otherwise quiet study.
She extended her warm Ginseng Tea towards him, gazing at him gently. "You look tired, and your face doesn't look great. Drink some Ginseng Tea to perk yourself up!"
He lifted his gaze to the light yellow liquid in her hand that still emitted warmth, a faint smile tugging at his lips as he reached out to take it.
Usually, he did not enjoy drinking liquids with such distinctive flavors. When he returned to Wood Residence in the past, Madam Mu would also brew Ginseng Tea for him. Each time, he only forced himself to drink a few sips to avoid worrying his mother.
He was Madam Mu's only precious son. Although he was already an adult, she still cared for him in daily life.
For all these years, he had tried to find a woman who could bring him warmth like his mother did. Unfortunately, in today's materialistic society, excessive ambition and restlessness had clouded many women's eyes; they saw not him as a person but rather his family background and wealth.
However, when he looked into her clear and untainted eyes, he realized that there truly was someone in this world who brought him warmth purely for who he was.
Indeed, she was not swayed by his family background or status as he had hoped.
On the contrary, she resembled a rabbit in the forest—innately kind and beautiful. Though she did not understand how to attack others, she possessed an inherent wildness that made her difficult to tame.
"Come here, I have something for you." He took her hand and pulled her onto his lap, the intimate and ambiguous position instantly making her tense up.
The soft body in his arms stiffened for a moment, and he noticed her nervousness, unable to help but smile lightly. He leaned over and took a Red Brocade Box from the drawer, handing it to her. "I brought this back for you while on a business trip. Take a look and see if you like it."
"What is it?" She looked down at the box in her hand, guessing what might be inside, but still felt a bit surprised when she opened it.
Inside the brocade box lay a set of dazzling Tourmaline Jewelry: a Teardrop-Shaped Tourmaline Diamond Necklace, a crystal-clear Tourmaline Bracelet, and a pair of Tourmaline Earrings. The unique yet aesthetically pleasing design showcased the soft colors and transparent texture of the tourmaline, exuding an understated luxurious beauty.
Although she was a designer, she didn't have much research on gemstones, so her understanding of tourmaline wasn't very deep. However, based on the knowledge she had, this set of jewelry was definitely worth a lot.
She turned her head to look at the man beside her in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly gave her something.
"Do you like it?" He looked at her puzzled face and smiled helplessly. "Don't look at me like that; I just thought you would look great wearing it, so I brought it back for you."
