Unable to Divorce After Signing the Marriage Contract - Chapter 77.3

He also knew that this kind of thing can’t be hidden.

Lin Yuhe laughed and shook his head. “It was really stupid at that time.”

“I remember that when I was carving stones, I used wood carving knives for wood carving, and I broke several of them. My mother saw that I always broke knives, and thought I couldn’t control the strength, so she dared not let me learn wood carving.”

Lu Nan listened to him quietly, and then asked after listening, “Did you continue to study?”

“Yes.” Lin Yuhe nodded, “But it’s been a long time since I engraved it.”

He continued, “I also carried a piece of ebony with me, and this time I brought it back, and put it with my felt.”

“And coincidentally, the smell of that piece of ebony is very similar to that of my Gege.”

As Lin Yuhe was talking, he saw a faint smile on Lu Nan’s lips.

He was startled, and suddenly realized. “…You gave me that piece of wood?”

“Um.”

It’s hard to say.

“It was a piece of ebony that I found here when I took you up the mountain.”

The value of ebony was extremely precious, known as ‘Oriental sacred wood’, the quantity is rare, and the price was quite expensive.

In addition, Lin Yuhe liked the aroma of ebony very much, which was why he carried that piece of wood with him for so long.

He only remembered that he got this piece of wood in the mountains and forests when he was a child, but he forgot the specific origin, until now, he finally recalled it.

That piece of ebony was found by the stream on the mountainside. Because it was too big, Lu Nan only dug out a small piece, and cut a piece for Lin Yuhe.

Lu Nan said, “Later, I came back once and dug away that section of ebony.”

At that time, he was ostracized by both the Lu family and Taiping’s high-level officials. He was short of cash, so he returned to Sichuan, dug up the ebony he found earlier, and exchanged it for cash, which solved his urgent need.

Lin Yuhe was stunned.

This was not surprising, ebony was really expensive, and there had been news about millions of dollars of ebony being dug up for building houses in rural areas.

Lu Nan continued, “Because that piece of ebony is very whole, it was more precious than loose pieces, and the buyer was not willing to disassemble it, so it changed hands several times, and then I bought it back.”

Lin Yuhe asked, “Bought it back?”

“That’s what we discovered together.” Lu looked at him badly.

If it wasn’t for the urgent need for money, Lu Nan would not have sold it.

Lu Nan raised his eyes to look at the forest, and said, “There is more than just a piece of ebony here.”

In the next few years, seven sections of ebony were successively excavated nearby, totaling nearly 800 tons.

It was these seven sections of ebony that had developed the largest and most complete ebony industry in Shu.

“In addition to wood carving processing, ebony can also extract spices.” Lu Nan said, “Afterwards, some brands cooperated with each other to develop ebony perfume.”

……perfume?

Only then did Lin Yuhe react.

“You……”

Lu Nan nodded. “That’s what I use.”

“You liked the smell of ebony very much at that time, and you always carried that piece of ebony with you.”

“Later I started thinking about getting married, because I smoked cigarettes for a long time before, and even if I quit, there would inevitably be a smell of smoke on my body. I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable when you are near me, so I asked someone to develop a perfume with this smell.”

The man’s voice was low, but what he told was a story that was enough to subvert people.

Lin Yuhe was stunned.

He never imagined that the most familiar and most reassuring ebony aroma…was actually specially made for him.

Suddenly, there was a warm touch on his cheek.

Lin Yuhe raised his eyes, Lu Nan pressed his palm against his profile, stared at him, and said in a low voice.

“You may have misunderstood me all along, Ningning.”

“You always think I’m a perfect person who can do everything, don’t you?”

Lin Yuhe couldn’t argue.

He always felt that Lu Nan was an impeccable person, so perfect that he almost lost his sense of reality. No one can resist the charm of this man, anyone who faces land disaster will be moved.

So Lin Yuhe always felt that the situation would be the same with another person.

But Lu Nan told him.

“No, I am not.”

“At that time, no one wanted to approach me, and everyone avoided me, only you.”

Only Lin Yuhe ran over, held his hand, and talked to him with a smile.

“I caught you.”

“It was you who changed me, Ningning.”

The mountain wind blows gently, and the trees are blown out with pleasant sounds. In the forest of Baishan Mountain, they held hands at the highest point and embraced each other under the unobstructed warm sun.

“I became like this because of you.”

“For you, become what you like.”
