2412 Huo Siqian’s Stress (3)

“Why don’t you open it up and find out?” Mr. Qin pushed the brocade box up to Huo Mian.

The truth was, Huo Mian didn’t think she would be surprised by anything Qin Chu bought her, no matter how expensive the gift was. This was because the two of them were so rich that they could buy whatever they wanted to. Moreover, their bond and love for each other couldn’t be calculated with money.

She knew Qin Chu well, and she was sure that he was trying to make up for not being there for the last four Valentine’s Days. That was why he bought all the city’s roses, prepared such a big surprise for her, and now… he also had a mysterious gift!

Huo Mian suddenly found herself filled with antic.i.p.ation – what did Mr. Qin buy for her?

“Can I really?” Huo Mian asked with pleasant surprise, and Qin Chu smiled. “Of course you can, you’re the only one who can. Go on.”

With excitement bubbling in her chest, Huo Mian picked up the box and slowly opened it. As soon as she saw was it was, she froze.

Then, tears began falling uncontrollably down her face.

“Honey, how… what… what?” Huo Mian was utterly speechless.

“Do you like it?” Qin Chu asked calmly.

“I do!” Huo Mian didn’t know what else to say, so she kept nodding her head. It wasn’t an expensive or luxurious gift – it was a pair of ordinary-looking hair clips.

The kind high school girls used back in their day… The clips were made of ordinary metal and were completely identical, both with six red roses glued on.

Honestly, there was really nothing special about these hair clips, so why did Huo Mian become so emotional upon seeing them?

Back when they dated in high school and on their first Valentine’s Day as a couple, Qin Chu saw these hair clips and immediately bought them for Huo Mian. Back then, they were still students, and although Qin Chu’s family was extremely wealthy, he didn’t buy her anything too extravagant since the money wasn’t his to spend.

Plus, Huo Mian had long, flowy hair back then, so the hairclips seemed like a great gift when he saw them when shopping at a decoration store.

When he wrapped it up and gifted them to Huo Mian, the latter didn’t know the hidden meaning behind it until one day, Zhu Lingling pointed out a popular song called ‘You’re the most beautiful’.

The lyrics went like this: I gave you 12 roses, each as beautiful as you are…

Basically, Qin Chu was trying to tell Huo Mian that to him, no one was as beautiful as she was.

Huo Mian really liked this present, because Qin Chu picked it out while thinking of her. Therefore, she wore the hairclips every day… and although he bought her more gifts down the road, the pair of hairclips would always be her favorite present from him.

All the way until high school graduation, they were supposed to go abroad together, but Huo Mian and Qin Chu’s relations.h.i.+p abruptly ended because of the death of her stepfather.

At their graduation ceremony, she broke up with him, once and for all. To make Qin Chu forget about her, she pulled off the hairclips and threw them onto the ground… smas.h.i.+ng the roses and Qin Chu’s heart into pieces.

Then, she left, leaving him all by himself…
