After spending only a few days at home, Zuko hurried back to Jangasas.

As soon as he arrived, Zuko presented the bangle to Lina as if offering her a prize.

Lina was both surprised and pleased. “What’s this?” she asked.

Before Zuko left, Lina had jokingly asked him to bring back something from Centrolis for her. It could have been a

simple keychain—she just wanted a token to show that he had thought of her.

Never did Lina expect that Zuko would bring back such an expensive bangle.

The jade bangle, adorned with gold, was exquisite and of high quality. Although Lina knew little about jade, she

could tell at a glance that it was valuable.

As Lina hesitated whether to accept it, Zuko chuckled and took her hand, sliding the bangle onto her wrist.

“This is a family heirloom,” Zuko explained. “My mom said that my wife should take care of it!”

Lina’s eyes widened. “Really?”

“Yes! She even mentioned that she wants to meet you!” Zuko added.

“That’s not what I’m asking about,” Lina clarified.

Confused, Zuko nodded and smiled. “Well, actually, it’s not anything precious… It’s not expensive at all. Just wear it!

I brought it back to show you my sincerity.”

“What sincerity?” Lina asked, though she already knew the answer. She blushed as soon as the words left her

mouth.

Seizing the opportunity, Zuko inched closer and wrapped his arms around her waist.

After spending time together, Zuko finally felt comfortable openly entering Lina’s room.

Furthermore, Lina’s family had coordinated their efforts this time. Dave had gone to his tuition class while her

parents had offered to take care of the store. They were the only ones at home.

Zuko felt a surge of excitement as he caught a whiff of Lina’s fragrance.

“Lina…” Zuko’s deep voice carried a smile. “Do you truly not understand the significance of me giving this to you?”

“I don’t. Explain it to me,” Lina replied.

“Of course.” Zuko grinned and leaned in for a kiss.

Unable to resist, Lina was swept away as soon as their lips met.

Once one tasted something sweet, they’d crave it every day.

No matter what Lina said, Zuko was willing to solve any problem with a kiss.

If one kiss wasn’t enough, he’d kiss her two times, three times…

Lina pushed against his chest, and Zuko firmly grasped her wrists, pressing her against the desk. He was fully

committed.

However, their intimate moment was interrupted by a voice. “Lina, are you home?”

Lina’s heart raced, and she quickly pushed Zuko away.

Gia’s voice echoed from downstairs. “Lina, I came in because your door was open!”

“Oh… alright!” Lina hurried downstairs, finding Gia already in the living room, smiling and greeting her.

However, Gia’s smile froze upon seeing Zuko behind Lina. She forced a smile and asked, “Is your husband home

too?”

“That’s correct,” Zuko replied with an impassive expression. “I am her husband. Where else would I be if not at

home?”

Gia felt awkward and stumbled with her words, “Oh, I meant… Lina told me you’re usually at the store, so I

assumed you weren’t home!”

Zuko ignored her comment while Lina stepped in to diffuse the situation. “Is there anything that I can help you with,

Gia?”

“What? You don’t want me anymore now that you have your husband?” Gia said, smiling. out today! I heard they

opened a new shopping mall in the development zone. Let’s go together?”

Lina hesitated. She wasn’t really keen on going.

It was a new area, sparsely populated and mostly undeveloped. It had taken a couple of years just to build a

shopping mall. If something were to happen there, the police wouldn’t be able to respond quickly.

Lina found it odd. Gia loved crowded places, yet she chose to shop in a virtually empty mall. Why would she do

that?

Despite her reservations, Lina didn’t want to disappoint Gia’s enthusiasm.

“Give me a minute… I’ll change,” Lina said.

“Okay!”

As Lina turned around, Gia noticed something on her wrist. “Hey, Lina, what’s that?”

Lina looked down and chuckled. “It’s a gift from Zeke. How do you like it?”

Gia was taken aback. She could tell it was expensive with just a glance. Wasn’t Zeke just a regular truck driver? How

could he afford something like that?

“Yes, it’s beautiful!” Gia began to feel suspicious but played along. “Lina, can I see it?”

Lina felt reluctant. She glanced at Zuko and reluctantly took it off.

Gia’s eyes lit up.

It could fetch a huge price if it was put up for auction!

Gia pushed the boundaries. “Lina, can I try it on?”

“What?”

“I said I want to wear it!” Gia smiled. “Girls can’t resist pretty accessories. I’d like to see how your bangle looks on

my wrist. You don’t mind, do you, Lina?”

The smile on Lina’s face froze, and her expression gradually changed.

How could Gia know that Lina would mind?

Lina did mind. The Hamertons had given it to her, and she couldn’t allow someone else to wear it.

Lina chuckled. “Gina, I’ll put it on for you if you want to see how it looks on your wrist!”

“Hey…”

“See? There you go!” Lina looked into Gia’s eyes after demonstrating. “My husband gave this to me, so I don’t want

anyone else touching it.

“Gia, I’m sure you understand, right?”
