After spending only a few days at home, Zuko hurried back to Jangasas.

As soon as he arrived, Zuko presented the bangle to Lina as if offering her a prize.

Lina was both surprised and pleased. “What’s this?” she asked.

Before Zuko left, Lina had jokingly asked him to bring back something from Centrolis for her. It could have been a simple keychain—she just wanted a token to show that he had thought of her.

Never did Lina expect that Zuko would bring back such an expensive bangle.

The jade bangle, adorned with gold, was exquisite and of high quality. Although Lina knew little about jade, she could tell at a glance that it was valuable.

As Lina hesitated whether to accept it, Zuko chuckled and took her hand, sliding the bangle onto her wrist.

“This is a family heirloom,” Zuko explained. “My mom said that my wife should take care of it!”

Lina’s eyes widened. “Really?”

“Yes! She even mentioned that she wants to meet you!” Zuko added.

“That’s not what I’m asking about,” Lina clarified.

Confused, Zuko nodded and smiled. “Well, actually, it’s not anything precious… It’s not expensive at all. Just wear it! I brought it back to show you my sincerity.”

“What sincerity?” Lina asked, though she already knew the answer. She blushed as soon as the words left her mouth.

Seizing the opportunity, Zuko inched closer and wrapped his arms around her waist.

After spending time together, Zuko finally felt comfortable openly entering Lina’s room.
