Chapter Summary
She lowered her head and took out her cell phone, but the screen was black and the battery was out. She was startled and bit her lips, "Brother Yan?" Huo Yan narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and there seemed to be stars in his eyes: "Thank you for your hard work." Ning Yuetong immediately shook her head: "It's not hard." As soon as the words fell, the man stretched out his hand impatiently, and his jade-like fingers brushed across the gold-inlaid black jade cufflinks,...
I waited for a whole afternoon...
She frowned, her stomach cramping a little with hunger.
What are these two people talking about for so long?
She called Chi Jingshan in a low voice: "Xiao Chi?"
No response.
Where did Koike go?
She lowered her head and took out her cell phone, but the screen was black and the battery was out.
Gu Weimian's brows furrowed slightly.
She moved her frozen limbs, opened the car door and got out.
She didn't know if it was because of her posture or because the temperature was too low, but her feet felt numb and it felt like she was stepping on cotton. She had no feeling at all.
When the cold wind blew, Gu Weimian sneezed violently and shivered involuntarily.
She squinted her eyes and felt a little dizzy.
I just slept for a short while. Would I catch a cold?
This body...
Gu Weimian frowned...too weak.
Picking up the notebook, she flipped through it casually and found that it was almost complete.
I looked around, but there was no sign of Chi Jingshan.
The lights in the villa not far away were bright, but the windows that were open during the day were now closed, not letting in any warmth.
She hugged her chest.
My lungs feel like they are on fire.
…
Ning Yuetong lowered her head and carefully glued the last piece of black jade on.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."
When she raised her eyes, she met the man's burning gaze.
She was startled and bit her lips, "Brother Yan?"
Huo Yan narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and there seemed to be stars in his eyes: "Thank you for your hard work."
Ning Yuetong immediately shook her head: "It's not hard."
As soon as the words fell, the man stretched out his hand impatiently, and his jade-like fingers brushed across the gold-inlaid black jade cufflinks, which was stunningly beautiful.
It is a gesture of wanting to touch and loving.
This action made Ning Yuetong dazed for a moment.
Her face suddenly turned red, and she had the illusion that she was the black jade cufflink.
She silently picked up her cup of hot tea and took a sip. This was the first time in her life that she had been alone with a man for such a long time.
Her eyes fell on Huo Yan's delicate eyebrows.
Although Huo Yan's leg is broken, he is still handsome and attractive.
She pursed her lips tightly, and the words that had been hidden in her heart for more than ten years were beginning to stir.
Ning Yuetong had just opened her mouth when the man suddenly stood up: "Thank you for today. I'm sorry for keeping you so late. Can I take you out?"
Ning Yuetong was stunned.
I glanced at the time shown on the clock on the wall and it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
She looked at Huo Yan with a mixture of anger and resentment. This man had already found an excuse to keep her, so why was he chasing her away at this time?
She pouted and stood up from the sofa: "Then I'll leave."
As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Huo Yan, hoping that the man would ask her to stay.
But the man didn't notice it at all. His eyes were always on the pair of cufflinks, as if the pair of cufflinks had endless magic, attracting the man's entire attention.
Ning Yuetong felt uncomfortable when she saw this: "This pair of cufflinks is not worth anything at all."
Her ancestors were in the jewelry business and they could tell the value of the cufflinks at a glance.
It's not an antique, and the jade is not good quality.
It's just a pair of ordinary cufflinks. If it were put on the market, it would be worth at most 30,000 or 40,000 yuan.
Huo Yan raised his lips, his eyes were gentle, and he did not refute Ning Yuetong's words: "Yeah."
