Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang lingered at Taozi's house until after dinner before embarking on their journey home accompanied by the evening glow.
The three of them did not drive, instead walking leisurely along the coastal line of Bin Hai. The evening breeze carried a salty, fishy smell from the sea, dispersing the day's heat.
Throughout the day, there wasn't much conversation between Jiang Hongtu's family and Shen Siyuan, but they hit it off with Ruan Hongzhuang, talking about everything from trivial daily matters to past interesting stories, the atmosphere was so harmonious that Ruan Hongzhuang seemed to be their own daughter.
Before leaving, Taozi's mother, Qi Huilan, specially took out a golden bracelet and fastened it on Ruan Hongzhuang's wrist with her own hands.
The bracelet had a simple and exquisite design with delicate patterns, clearly an heirloom with significant historical value, far surpassing that of gold itself.
