Gu Tingchuan took the box and opened it to find a smooth, warm white jade pendant. In one small corner of the box, the character "Gu" was delicately carved.
"This belongs to your Gu Family. I came home this time to bring it back and return it to you."
Shen Niantang did not tell Gu Tingchuan that this was a token of affection. After all, how could she say such a thing? What if Gu Tingchuan didn't like her? If she took out this pendant, anyone who didn't know better would think she was forcing a marriage, compelling him to honor the engagement. Besides, from start to finish, Shen Niantang had no idea what Gu Tingchuan was thinking.
