Chapter 1288

He knew that she didn't notice it at all, but she really didn't know.

What she didn't know was that the entire Guan Osprey Palace was personally designed by him. The bed, the table, even the vase, and even the clothes in the wardrobe were all personally chosen by him. Only he knew how much thought he had put into this Guan Osprey Palace.

He didn't want to tell her all of this, he just wanted her to be happy. If she said, "This vase is really pretty."

He would be secretly happy in his heart and be happy for the entire day.

If she casually said, "Why is this teapot so strange?"

Then the teapot would disappear the next day, and a new teapot would appear.

There was also the jewelry box on the dresser. Each piece of jewelry was carefully chosen by him for her.

He knew that she didn't like gaudy things, so each piece of jewelry was very delicate, like it was a work of art.

But no matter how beautiful or good the jewelry was, she never looked at it. She let the jewelry he chose for her be covered in a thick layer of dust.

He saw all of this and although he was disappointed, he didn't say anything. He just kept putting small gifts in different places in the room every day, hoping to attract her attention and receive a pleasantly surprised sigh from her.

But there was nothing!

He spent so much effort, but she didn't even look at it in her eyes.

But that pile of messy things that Gu Qingze gave her, she treated it like a treasure, not even allowing herself to touch it.

Mo Chuan felt more and more indignant the more he thought about it. He suddenly picked up a wooden box on the table and quickly opened it.

Humph, not letting him touch it, not letting him look at it. He wanted to see what kind of amazing treasures this surnamed Gu had given her!

"Mo Chuan, don't!"

Chen Ning cried out in shock. She wanted to stop him, but it was too late. How could she be faster than Mo Chuan?

She could only watch as Mo Chuan opened the lid of the wooden box and saw Mo Chuan's eyes instantly pop out.

"This, this, this … … This … …"

Mo Chuan's hand trembled and the wooden box fell to the ground with a pa sound. A long snake that looked like a spotted ribbon fell out of the box.

His eyes stared right at the long snake. His back was stiff and it was like his acupuncture point had been poked.

Although he could tell with a single glance that this was a dead snake, the deep rooted fear and disgust in his heart almost made him lose control of his emotions.

"Ai, I told you not to open it, but you insisted on opening it. I just didn't want you to see this. Now that you've seen it, are you regretting it?"

Chen Ning pursed her lips. Seeing Mo Chuan become like a puppet, she found it both funny and angry.

"Why did he give this … … thing to you?"

Mo Chuan swallowed his saliva before he could say anything.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, twice shy. Not long ago, he had personally witnessed the scene of her being bitten by a poisonous snake, so when he saw the snake, his whole body tensed up like a bow.

"This is called the Many-Banded Krait, one of the top ten poisonous snakes in the world. This is a very rare treasure."

Chen Ning smiled as she bent down. She picked up the dead Many-Banded Krait and placed it back into the box, closing the lid.

"Alright, little snake is gone." She giggled as she spoke to him in a coaxing tone. She even stuck out her tongue and made a face at him.
