Xie Jinyan was very efficient. When he made a gesture and his servant placed the valuable treasure box on the table, Pu Ran's interest was fully aroused.

The man opened the folding fan gracefully and placed it in front of his chest, fanning it. His dark eyes were full of smiles as his hair fluttered. "Open it and take a look."

Pu Ran opened it with great anticipation, and when he saw the various colored gems inside, the smile in his eyes froze for a moment.

Bracelets, necklaces, earrings, hairpins, the gemstones inlaid on them are of all colors, but there is no green.

Including a few scattered gemstones, they are either red or orange, without even a hint of green.

Puran: “…”

We agreed that [if you like emeralds, I will give you all the ones I have in the future].

I would be really angry if you went back on your word right after saying it.

Also, you did it on purpose.

Are you trying to make me unhappy on purpose?

Seeing that the joy on her face had faded a little, Xie Jinyan slowly raised the fan to cover half of his face. Behind the fan, a malicious smile of pleasure appeared at the corner of his lips.

He did it on purpose.

Others can try to make him happy, but he can't stand seeing others happy.

Why do you like Xie Wanning?

Because this sister is submissive and will just accept being bullied.

He always liked good kids.

Of course, in Xie Jinyan's opinion, this was not bullying, but just a harmless joke between siblings.

But the person standing in front of him now was not Xie Wanning, but Pu Ran.

Xie Jinyan looked surprised and pretended to sigh: "I just finished dealing with government affairs. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to choose carefully. I ordered my servants to pick some at random. I didn't expect my luck to be so bad."

He closed his fan and tapped his palm: "There is not a single emerald that my sister likes."

He stretched out his fingertips and affectionately tucked the girl's hair behind her ears, and his eyes carefully appreciated the sadness and loss on Pu Ran's face.

Xie Jinyan felt a different kind of satisfaction in his heart.

Puran shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I like everything my brother gives me."

When she was happy, she called him brother, and when she was unhappy, she called him emperor brother. Xie Jinyan had already figured it out.

The man suppressed the evil amusement in his eyes and showed a mild self-reproach on his face: "Next time I will choose carefully. I will give my sister whatever she wants."

Still using this sugar-coated bullet to paint a rosy picture.

ill.

Pu Ran made a sound of “tsk” in his heart.

"I like these too! It just so happens that I will go to Hanshan Temple to pray in three days, and I don't know which necklace to wear."

Puran said obediently: "Brother, please pick one for me. I will cherish it and wear it to pray for blessings."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jinyan raised his eyebrows.

"I choose?"

"Yeah! The one my brother picked is my favorite!"

It's no wonder that this sentence really pleased Xie Jinyan, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually started to choose seriously.

He looked at his sister's beautiful face, and after considering many factors, he chose an aquamarine necklace.

The sky blue topaz is polished into teardrop-shaped facets and set in the pendant, which is translucent and pure, just like the tears of a mermaid, precious and beautiful.

Xie Jinyan really chose it carefully.

Of all these necklaces, this one really suits his sister best.

Pu Ran took it and showed joy: "So beautiful!"

She smiled at Xie Jinyan: "I'll go in and put it on for my brother to see!"

The girl lifted her skirt and ran into the boudoir, disappearing in front of Xie Jinyan.

Xie Jinyan's mood got even better. He tapped his fingers on the table, looking forward to what his sister would look like after putting it on.

It must be as beautiful as a flower blooming in the morning dew.

Walking in front of the bronze mirror, Pu Ran became expressionless.

She looked at the necklace in her hand, her pupils revealing an inorganic matte luster.

Are you kidding me?

She had a wooden face and practiced her sweet smile several times in front of the mirror.

……

The girl came out, but she lowered her head and put her hands behind her back, looking dejected.

Xie Jinyan said with concern: "What's wrong?"

Pu Ran stood two steps away from him, with his head down, and said in distress: "Brother, because I have to go to the temple, I also tried to read some scriptures in the morning. I don't want to go to worship Buddha without understanding anything."

The man praised: "That's thoughtful."

"Just now when I was wearing the necklace, I suddenly remembered the content of a Buddhist scripture. I couldn't understand it and was troubled for a long time."

She said in an admiring tone: "I know that you are smart, so I wanted to ask you for advice."

Xie Jinyan smiled gently twice: "You say."

Pu Ran wondered: "Why do people have to die?"

She seemed unable to understand the law of cause and effect in Buddhism, and was like a timid cat afraid of death.

Perhaps it was the shock of falling into the water that made her fear for life and death.

As Xie Jinyan thought about this, his expression softened a bit, and he answered patiently: "This is a natural thing, sister. Everything in the world has life and death, so don't take it too seriously."

Upon hearing this, Pu Ran began to walk closer to him, taking the initiative to close the distance between them.

"in this way--"

The girl murmured as she came closer to him. She finally stretched out her hands from behind her back and showed him the cracked aquamarine in her hands.

Chuntao's legs went limp.

Xie Jinyan's pupils suddenly froze.

"The necklace you gave me is the time of my death."

"Brother, life and death are natural things, don't take it too seriously."

Please grief.

Such a beautiful aquamarine necklace was now covered with fine cracks and it was impossible to wear it outside.

He spent so much time and effort to carefully choose the necklace for this canary, but it was ruined in the next second.

No matter how good he was at pretending, the dignity he had gained from being in a high position for a long time was still torn to pieces by Pu Ran.

Xie Jinyan's eyes were gloomy, and the smile on his lips seemed to be frozen at the corner of his lips.

His breathing became disordered for a few beats, and the finger bones that were holding the fan were so tense that they turned white.

Puran was very sad: "I was so happy that I didn't hold it tightly, and it fell to the ground."

Topaz has a very high hardness but poor toughness. It is not resistant to falling and may crack if it is accidentally bumped.

Of course, Puran did it on purpose.

By the way, he used a Buddhist story to turn the tables on Xie Jinyan.

She pried open Xie Jinyan's clenched fist, placed the cracked gem necklace into her broad palm, and then helped him close it with her fingers one by one, being considerate and well-behaved.

The girl blamed herself: "It's all my fault. If my brother chooses for me next time, I won't be so reckless."

Xie Jinyan: “…”

The feeling of having all his hard work destroyed was not a pleasant one. He stared at Pu Ran, as if trying to tell whether she did it on purpose or it was an accident.

The sinister gaze was like a sticky quagmire, as if it wanted to swallow the girl immediately.

I just let him look at me calmly, because I had nothing to hide.

It's you.

Xie Jinyan, say something.

She began to appreciate the horrific expression on the man's face that seemed to be brewing a bloody storm.

Speak up, Xie Jinyan.

After a long while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally chuckled, and it was as if the clouds and mist had cleared away, revealing the gentle expression that had been disguised on the surface.

"My sister is really smart. She can make good use of the Buddhist scriptures she just read."

Pu Ran lowered her head in shame.

"I have things to do, I will come to visit my sister another day."

With a flick of his sleeves, a gust of cold wind blew up, and the prince led his servants out one after another.
