Chapter 352: That’s Too Much Praise

Just as Fu Mingxue finished speaking.

With a soft CLICK, it really did open.

"What is it?" Fu Mingxue leaned over curiously to take a look.

She was very surprised when she saw a white jade bracelet inside.

"And it’s a bracelet."

And it looked to be of exceptional quality.

Qin Wenhao was also a little surprised when he saw the bracelet.

The moment he first laid eyes on the dressing case, he’d felt a connection to it—it was perfect for his wife.

He hadn’t expected the dressing case to be an antique, but to find a bracelet inside as well was another surprise entirely.

He took out the Jade Bracelet and examined it carefully.

A smile touched his lips. "Honey, this white jade bracelet is the real deal. And it’s made of Warm Jade."

As soon as Fu Mingxue heard this, she said, "Let me see."

Seeing his wife’s interest, Qin Wenhao handed the bracelet over.

Fu Mingxue felt it in her hand—and her eyes instantly lit up.

"It really is Warm Jade. This is priceless!"

"Then you should wear it, Honey. It’s good for your health."

Fu Mingxue was a little taken aback by his words.

"I thought you were going to turn it in!"

"I bought this. Why would I turn it in?"

’If I had just found it, of course I’d have to turn it in.’

’But I spent my own money on this find. There’s no reason to turn it in.’

Fu Mingxue smiled at him, her eyes crinkling.

"—So we’re really keeping it?"

"Of course! We bought it. You should wear it."

Fu Mingxue shook her head. "I can’t wear it right now. I have to teach classes every day, so how could I? Let’s just put it away for now."

’It wasn’t a good time to be wearing gold, silver, or jade.’

’In a few years, though, it might be alright to take out and wear.’

Qin Wenhao: ...

’What’s the point of having something so nice if it isn’t worn?’

"I’ll go put this away first. In a little while, we need to go back to the compound for dinner. I have to make a trip to the research institute at seven tonight."

Qin Wenhao’s brow furrowed slightly when he heard that. "Why is the research institute calling you in at night?"

’Do they think my wife isn’t tired enough already?’

"Obviously, it’s for something important. I’m going inside to wash up." Fu Mingxue didn’t elaborate.

She went back into their room first.

After stashing the white jade bracelet in her system space, she grabbed a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to shower—

Half an hour later, the couple rode their bicycles over to the Qin family’s home.

Seeing that everyone was there, Fu Mingxue began to call out her greetings.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Sister-in-law—"

Qin Wenhao: ...?

’That was a long list. Wasn’t she tired just from saying all that?’

’Wouldn’t a nod have been enough?’

Mrs. Qin stood up, walked over to Fu Mingxue, and took her by the hand. "Mingxue, I heard that you’ve started teaching the university students at your school?"

Fu Mingxue looked at her mother-in-law’s joyous expression.

’She seems very happy about this, doesn’t she?’

"—That’s right."

"Mingxue, you’re just incredible!" Mrs. Qin’s eyes were filled with pride.

’My daughter-in-law is teaching university students at such a young age.’

’And most importantly—my daughter-in-law is a university student herself!’

Fu Mingxue was a little embarrassed by the praise.

"I’m not that amazing, really."

"What do you mean, not amazing? It’s absolutely incredible! Everyone I ran into when I was out today was telling me how envious they are that I have such a capable daughter-in-law!"

Fu Mingxue was surprised. ’Has word really spread that fast?’

Seeing his mom holding onto his wife and talking nonstop, Qin Wenhao grew impatient.

"Alright, of course my wife is amazing, we don’t need gossip to know that. Let’s eat first! My wife still has to make a trip to the research institute later. She’s busy!"
