The Jade Bracelet (6/6)

"Didn't I say that this story is not about me?" Feng Huan immediately denied his involvement in this tragic love story. 

"R-right... My mistake." Xiong Jingfei's lips jerked, "Want me to help this friend of yours?" 

"How?" Feng Huan's eyes held a tinge of distrust. Something was telling him to not hand over the bracelet to this woman. 

"First, you must promise me that you won't get mad." Xiong Jingfei stated, reaching out her arms for the bracelet. "Second, I need that bracelet to help you- no, your friend."

"No!" Feng Huan declined. Removing the bracelet from her reach when her fingers were almost there. Those sticky fingers of hers were up to no good! "That makes you even more suspicious."

"Do I look like a suspicious person? Has my action ever caused you to question yourself?" Xiong Jingfei argued, dropping her arms in disappointment. So close!
