Do you like the clothes? asked the man.

Ye Erruos lips were pursed tight in apprehension when she heard this abrupt question, as she dared not give him an answer.I suppose he mustve given me clothes then?

Hm? Do you like them?

She tactfully answered, Yes. In fact, I would like anything that you give me, be it clothes or anything else. Id love it all. Oh, right. Have you arrived at the Blue Tower?

The quick-witted woman skillfully changed the topic at once.

Im in a neighboring country.

Its snowing over there now, so the weather must be freezing. Did you bring warm clothes with you? Remember to dress in layers.

Alright. When I return, I want to see you wearing the dress Ive given you every day.

Okay!

Ha! An icy, low chuckle suddenly burst out of him, making her heart tremble in fear.

Baby Ruo The endearment rang out in a low, dangerous tone.

Whats wrong?

Have you really opened the gift and seen whats inside?

She sucked her lips before mustering the courage to confess. I-I actually havent opened your gift

Why did you lie to me about it then?

The corners of her lips twitched.How should I know why the hell I did that?

Im asking you again: Did you receive my gift?

She rubbed her forehead in vexation. Yes, I did.

So where is it? Did you open it or not? Do you need me to make a call home to check?

Letting out a heavy sigh, she replied, I did receive it. Its just that I thought it had been sent to the wrong recipient. Since the delivery man had left, I decided to give it to the servant instead.

His expression totally froze at once. Sent to the wrong recipient?

Ill go get it back from her at once, she promised him solemnly.

Meanwhile, Mo Jiangye, who was in a hotel, was thoroughly enraged. His gift to his wife had been left unopened and given to a lowly servant!

Forget it! His voice had taken on a frigid tone.

That gift has been dirtied and sullied by another womans hands!

Im sorry she murmured apologetically and remorsefully.

Her apology only made her husbands face darken, though. Take back your apology!

Im truly sorry! It was never my intention to give it to the servant! If I had known that you were the sender, I would never have let the servant touch the gift at all. What was it that you got me? Wasnt it clothes?

Somehow, the first thing that had come to her mind when shed seen the exquisite gift packaging had been that it contained clothes.

A ring. The man had only mentioned one item, however.

Upon hearing that, the woman became even more determined than ever to reclaim the item from the servant despite her bafflement over the use of such a big package for a small ring.

Forget it. Ill just get you another one.

He did not doubt that the servant must have tried on the ring upon receiving it and, naturally, he would never allow his wife to wear another persons preloved possession!

Why didnt you let me know beforehand? Ye Erruo felt so regretful that her face had turned red from remorse!

It was meant to be a surprise, he casually replied.

Dont you go looking for it, do you hear me? he gave her a stern warning.

Are you saying that youre going to give that ring to another woman?

How indignant she felt! If it had been any other small accessory, she might have just chosen to bear the consequences of her stupidity. However, it was a ring given to her by her husband! It had a special meaning to it. Plus, it was the first gift that he had ever given her. How could she not look for the ring and try to get it back?

Later, upon alighting the cab, she flew right back into the estate.

Young Madam, youre back already?

Wheres that lass who often cleans my bedroom?

Are you referring to Xiao Mei? Shes resigned to return home to the countryside.
