NovelEnglishOutside, Nan Luo was fuming. He glared at the necklace on Nan Hua's neck as if he wished to smash it to smithereens. If not because it was in the hand of his twin sister, he would have never hesitated.
"Hua'er, why do you accept his present? It's just a cheap necklace that can be found anywhere! If you want a better one, I'll search one for you right now!" Nan Luo protested. He couldn't accept his twin sister getting present from that annoying man.
Damn it! He even dared to get close to his sister.
He swore that the next time, he would beat up that Long Qian Xing to the point that no one would recognize him.
Nan Hua was speechless. "He's not giving this for me."
"What are you talking about? He's clearly giving that necklace to you! Do you like it so much, Hua'er?" Nan Luo felt aggrieved.
"It's directed to Grandfather."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It's directed to Grandpa… huh? What are you talking about?" Nan Luo then realized Nan Hua's words were strange. He turned his head around and looked at the diamond shape that Nan Hua held between her finger.
He only thought that the necklace was crude and looked unbefitting for her. Why did she say that it was directed to their grandfather?
Nan Hua was too lazy to explain, so she simply walked towards their residence. She didn't think that Long Qian Xing, whose soul was already in his twenties, would get interested in a kid who was only about to turn 9 years old. When she saw the diamond shape, she instantly understood.
The reason why it was crude was because the necklace was not intended for accessory. It was used for secret message as there was a small gap inside. As for what was inside, Nan Hua could guess that there must be small cloth made of silk.
Silk was very very thin and often used for magic show in the modern world, at least before the war. Since paper hadn't been invented yet in this era, they would use silk. Even though silk was still scarce since the trade route hadn't been fixed yet, it was still present and often used by nobility.
Nan Hua could guess that the reason Long Qian Xing wore the necklace to her was because he wanted her grandfather to see it. If it was simply given to her, who knew how long it would be until her grandfather see it.
But if she wore it when she went home, he would directly see it.
There was no better method to give it to her grandfather aside from through her, who was also Long Qian Xing's fiancée.
Caressing the necklace, Nan Hua thought of the but the event that occurred was different. Since Long Qian Xing didn't meet with Nan Hua, he could only ask her to pass a message a few weeks from now during a dire situation.
Now, they could simply communicate without her.
"Hua'er, I still don't understand." Nan Luo followed Nan Hua with confusion. However, he noticed that his little sister didn't seem to be willing to explain anything to him. This made him felt a bit wronged.
His intelligence was not that bad, alright?
The twins returned home and as usual, Old Master Nan was there.
"Grandpa!" Nan Luo greeted cheerfully.
"Grandfather." Nan Hua followed suit.
Old Master Nan smiled and walked towards the two of them. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the servants around them. Xiao Yun and Nan Luo's manservant quickly retreated to let the three of them have talk.

"Yes! We bought each other a present." Nan Luo nodded. Then, he furrowed his eyebrows. "But then we meet some annoying people."
"Who?" Old Master Nan's gaze deepened.
Nan Luo proceeded to tell everything that occurred while Nan Hua listened from the side. She was too lazy to be the one to explain, so she just let Nan Luo be the speaker. In any case, the story was true and the brat Nan Luo would not intentionally change the story.
Though, he did exaggerate his dissatisfaction.
The three of them walked to Ning Shu Pavilion while Nan Luo continued to talk. The pavilion has always been very quiet and with Hou Liang stand guard, there wouldn't be anyone else in this place.
"Long Qian Xing gave a necklace?" Old Master Nan's voice sounded odd. He knew that brat would not do anything that was unbecoming of him. As his gaze landed on the necklace on Nan Hua's neck, he instantly understood.
"I see. Can Grandpa see the necklace, Hua'er?"
"Yes." Nan Hua took off the necklace and handed it to her grandfather. She watched as he fiddled with the diamond shape before thin cloth was pulled out. Considering the size, one would wonder how cloth at that size could possibly fit inside the small diamond shape.
There were only three words written on the small silk cloth.
