Chapter 84: Of Course I Will Entrust My Things To You   This was Mo Beihan’s room.

It was of average size and very simply furnished. But it had almost everything that was necessary.

There was a wooden bed, a study table, and a chair. There was even a closet at the side.

The closet was rather large and had four doors. This was rare among farming families and was made of high-quality material. She could tell that he had gotten it from a second-hand market.

Gu Qingyao laughed when she saw the closet.

He must have gotten it recently. In the past, Elder Brother Beihan only had a small closet, not such a big one.

It was made of very good material!

Although it was nothing much to look at now, especially as it was old, she estimated that this closet would later be worth a few million dollars.

The material and carvings were definitely the work of a master craftsman.

There were two large wooden boxes on top of the closet. They were also made of top quality material.

Mo Beihan asked Gu Qingyao to sit before he took a small box from a secret compartment in his closet. He laid it open on the bed. It was filled with various gems.

They were mostly rubies and emeralds. They gleamed and glittered brilliantly. They were magnificent!

Women could never resist jewels. Gu Qingyao fell in love with them at first sight.

When he saw that she liked them, Mo Beihan smiled and said, “There are more!”

He took a small box from a hole beneath his bedside cupboard. It had been buried and was rather dirty, so he placed the contents on the bed.

There were six nuptial bangles, of which four were in pairs and two were single bangles. All of them were classic nuptial bangles, and all of them had gems.

The workmanship and carvings were excellent. She could tell at a glance that these were of excellent quality. The gems in particular were brilliant and translucent, and of the first water. They were especially alluring.

There were two sets of diamond jewelry – one set of white diamonds and another set of pink diamonds. Both sets were complete, with a bracelet, ring, necklace and earrings. They even had brooches.

There were three pairs of rose gold hair ornaments, and a pair of antique hairpins!

Gu Qingyao loved the hairpins. They were so beautiful!

There were six jade bangles, twelve jade pendants, three diamond necklaces, and four pairs of pearl earrings.

The pearls and jewels glowed, lighting up Gu Qingyao’s face.

She stared at them in a daze. Wow! These were just too amazing!

Mo Beihan laughed. “Do you like them? I’ll give them all to you!”

Gu Qingyao: “...”

Gu Qingyao sat on the bed, with the heap of jewels spread before her. Mo Beihan squatted in front of her. He leaned closer and took her hand.

“Yao Yao, can you help me to take care of these?”

Gu Qingyao’s lips moved, but she did not know what to say.

Mo Beihan said, “There are only a few people living in my home. Usually, only the two children and my mother are at home. My mother is a woman, and I’m seldom at home. It’s not safe to keep these things here. Although there are few thefts these days, there are always bad people around.

“It wouldn’t be so bad if the things were just stolen. But if they attract trouble, it will be a disaster. So they must be carefully hidden.

“Trust me. These are unusual times and will pass in seven or eight years’ time. By then, you will be only in your twenties and at the prime of your life. That will be the best time for you to wear these things. Even if you don’t like the designs, you can exchange them for new ones. What do you think?”

Gu Qingyao was somewhat embarrassed. “I’m... to take care of all of them?”

Mo Beihan smiled. “Of course. Who else would I entrust them to?”
