Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Novel Went Rampant After Her Awakening

Chapter 124: Meaningful Gifts

After dinner, Nan Mu and Li MO cleared the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes without getting prompted.

Huo Xunzhou stood up.

"Follow me."

Lin Shanchu followed Huo Xunzhou upstairs.

When Huo Xunzhou passed by the study, he stopped in his tracks. "Wait for me in the study."

Lin Shanchu stepped into the study room for a second before leaving the room. She peeked in the direction Huo Xunzhou had left.

Then, she saw Huo Xunzhou enter the bedroom.

Was he going to the bedroom to get the gift he had brought for her?

Lin Shanchu hadn't received a gift for many years, so she was looking forward to it.

She returned to the study.

Huo Xunzhou's study room was decorated in a similar style to the villa.

There were books, a desk, a chair, and a couch.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

It was minimalistic and simple.

It was as if he was ready to leave at any moment.

Lin Shanchu stood in front of the bookshelf and looked at the titles.

She realized that many of the books were still sealed.

The door opened behind her.

Huo Xunzhou entered the study with a brown handbag that had a simple design.

As he approached, Lin Shanchu could smell the fragrance.

"It's incense." Lin Shanchu sniffed carefully.

"What incense?" Huo Xunzhou asked.

Hearing this, Lin Shanchu reached out to grab the handbag.

Huo Xunzhou raised his arm and held the handbag high.

There was a height difference between the two of them. Lin Shanchu couldn't reach the handbag even after standing on her tiptoes.

'What are you doing? How am I supposed to guess if I can't smell it carefully?" Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth.

"I'll give it to you if you guess it right," Huo Xunzhou said, unmoved.

"You..." How could there be a gift that could only be given if one guessed correctly?

"I don't want it anymore!" Lin Shanchu snorted coldly.

She turned around to leave.

"If you admit that you can't guess it, I can give it to you right away," Huo Xunzhou said casually.

Lin Shanchu felt that this man was clearly provoking her.

Admitting defeat was impossible!

Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks and turned around.

Huo Xunzhou's eyes flashed with a look of victory, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and glared at him.

The fragrance was very faint, but it was very familiar.

He must have smelled it somewhere.

Huo Xunzhou had always been a cautious and orderly person. Even if it was a gift, it wouldn't be as simple as picking a random one.

Lin Shanchu thought for a moment and asked, "Cypress?"

Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes and handed the bag to Lin Shanchu.
