Chapter 816 - 824 Bought from the Two-Buck Shop

The hairpin was truly beautiful, but looking at her own hairstyle in the mirror, Jane Sampson’s mouth twitched.

Was this the final result after he had struggled for minutes?

Jane knew that James had tried his best.

"You don’t like it?" James had been watching Jane’s expression closely, and noticing the slight movement of her lips, he asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"I like the gift you gave me, but not the hairstyle you did for me," Jane answered honestly, then reached out to James, "Hurry up and get my mobile phone from under the pillow. This is the first hairstyle you’ve done for me, and I definitely need to take a photo to keep as a memory."

James stood there, unwilling to move; even he knew it looked terrible, like a madman, so he was not too keen.

But seeing Jane’s excited face, James couldn’t bear to upset her. So, he ended up getting her the mobile phone and even took a few photos for her.

"You can redo your hair if you want," James said, unable to bear looking any longer, so he urged Jane.

Only after taking enough photos did Jane smile, putting the mobile phone down on the desktop. She carefully took the jade hairpin from her hair and examined it closely in her hand.

"Where did you buy this hairpin?" Jane had felt something familiar about the hairpin the moment she saw it, and upon taking it down, she was sure: she had indeed seen this hairpin before.

However, the one Jane had seen before was a counterfeit.

Her first acting job was a costume drama in which she played Matthew Chip’s sister, and one of her looks involved using a fake version of this hairpin.

The first time she saw it in the makeup artist’s box in the makeup room, she thought it was lovely. The fake had ’fake’ inscribed on the back, purely decorative.

Jane remembered she had casually taken a photo at the time, but she couldn’t remember if she had sent it to anyone or posted it on Moments.

But the makeup artist, seeing her fondness for it, had used that particular hairpin in her hairstyle.

Later, after the drama was broadcast, the hairstyle received high praise, and during an interview with the drama’s behind-the-scenes crew, the makeup artist mentioned that Jane really liked the hairpin.

The jade hairpin James had given her was not marked as a fake, and even someone like Jane, who was not very knowledgeable about jade, could clearly tell the difference in texture and color between the one in her hand and the one the makeup artist had used.

Jane was certain that anything James gave her could not possibly be fake, so she guessed that the hairpin might be a discreetly styled design from some international jewelry brand.

Asking James where he bought it, Jane actually wanted to know how he thought of giving it to her.

However, Jane did not expect James to answer her seriously all of a sudden.

"Bought it at a two-buck shop."

Hearing this, Jane unhesitatingly glared at James in the mirror, then skillfully used the hairpin to gather her long black hair into a familiar updo.

Looking at herself in the mirror, her ancient style enhanced by just one hairpin, Jane couldn’t help softening the curve of her lips when she smiled.

"Does it look good?" Jane slowly turned her head to ask James.
