She might as well not reply and let them guess. At most, she would be labeled by Guan Van as someone who had abandoned her after getting a relationship.
If she replied, with this group of gossipy people's personalities, they might ask her to clarify things before giving up.
Qiao Nian put down her phone.
The coupe suddenly stopped at the side of the road.
Ye Wangchuan stopped the car and handed her a beautifully wrapped black box.
"What is this?" Qiao Nian saw the ribbon bow on the box and reached out to take it, looking stunned.
Ye Wangchuan's eyes darkened and he said in a low voice, "Open it and take a look."
Qiao Nian pursed her lips and opened the bow. She tore open the outer packaging and opened the wooden box, finding a fountain pen inside.
The fountain pen was completely black. She didn't know what material it was made of, but it was cold to the touch and made of sand. It looked expensive.
"Pen?"
"Yes." Ye Wangchuan held the box for her and asked her to open the pen cap to take a look. "I've prepared an assessment gift for you. Time was tight, so I picked this one for now. I'll get you something else when we return to Beijing."
Qiao Nian's eyelashes drooped. She unscrewed the cap of the pen and took a look. The tip of the pen was glowing silver. It was obvious that it was a handicraft.
She estimated that writing with this fountain pen would feel very smooth.
Qiao Nian accepted the pen and placed it back into the box. She looked up, the anger in her eyes dissipating, leaving only some unknown emotion. "Actually, you didn't have to prepare this for me. I..."
Ye Wangchuan took the box from her and put it back. He lowered his eyes and smiled, like a March breeze. "1 wanted to."
