34 I No Longer Like You

After the meal, Chu Keren pulled Yan Xiruo into the room. She took out a dazzling diamond bracelet from the jewelry box and smiled. "Xiruo, do you like this bracelet? I'll give it to you as a wedding gift."

"Sister-in-law, this is too precious…"

Chu Keren lifted Yan Xiruo's slender and fair-skinned hand and helped her put the bracelet on her wrist. "Look how pretty you are wearing it!" As she said this, she pretended to be angry and stare at Yan Xiruo. "If you don't accept this, you're saying that the gift your sister-in-law gave isn't worthy of you."

Yan Xiruo wasn't in the habit of wearing jewelry. She wanted to refuse politely, but since Chu Keren had said that, she found it difficult to reject her. She curved her lips and smiled plainly. "Thank you, Sister-in-law."

Chu Keren patted Yan Xiruo's arm and her smile deepened. "Why are you being so polite?!" However, a scheming look that wasn't easily detectable flashed past her beautiful eyes.

…

When she returned, her mother told Yan Xiruo repeatedly that she should lead a good life with Lu Jingchen. Yan Xiruo didn't want her family to worry about her. Thus, she buried all her sufferings in her heart.

Once they left the house, Lu Jingchen and Yan Xiruo were like strangers. Both of them didn't say anything.

Both of them stood in the lift. Lu Jingchen pressed the button for basement one while Yan Xiruo pressed the button for the ground floor.

"Where did you get the bracelet from?" Lu Jingchen's low voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

He spoke out of nowhere, causing Yan Xiruo to be frightened.

Seeing that Yan Xiruo wasn't saying anything, Lu Jingchen stepped forward and clasped her wrist tightly. He looked at the diamond bracelet on her wrist and questioned again with his face green, "Tell me. Where did you get the bracelet from?"

Yan Xiruo didn't know why Lu Jingchen was going crazy again. He had a very strong grip on her wrist, as if wanting to crush her bones.

"I didn't steal it or rob it. Why do you care where I got it from?" Yan Xiruo wanted to pull her hand back. However, Lu Jingchen held it tightly. The grip on her wrist tightened, and she was hurting so much that cold sweat started to form on her forehead.

A layer of mist covered Yan Xiruo's eyes. She must have been possessed by ghosts before to have liked this man. Yan Xiruo didn't want him to torture her any longer. She lowered her head and bit his arm hard.

Hiss…

Lu Jingchen didn't expect that she would become ruthless and bite him. He was in so much pain that he sucked in a breath of cold air, and he had no choice but to let go of her wrist.

Yan Xiruo wiped away the blood on the corners of her mouth. She looked coldly at the sinister-looking Lu Jingchen. She had bitten his arm until it was a mixture of flesh and blood. A trace of satisfaction at having taken revenge flashed past her heart faintly.

"Lu Jingchen, I won't like you anymore from now on, and I won't let you bully me again!" Coincidentally, the lift door opened. Yan Xiruo no longer looked at him and left.

Lu Jingchen looked on as Yan Xiruo gradually disappeared from sight. A burning flame of anger rose in his heart.

When he heard that she no longer liked him, he actually felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort.

This damned Yan Xiruo!

When the lift door closed, he kicked it hard.

…

In the basement parking lot.

Lu Jingchen wasn't in a hurry to start driving. He looked at the blood-stained teeth marks on his right arm and frowned deeper.

His mobile rang.

When he looked at the caller ID, a trace of gentleness flashed past his somber face.

"Jingchen, Xiruo fancied the bracelet you gave me. I found it difficult to refuse, so I gave it to her. You won't be angry with me, right?"

"Yan Xiruo has really inherited the bad genes of their Yan family's desire and greed for wealth."

"Jingchen, don't be angry with Xiruo. She's just a little girl. It's natural for her to like jewelry such as diamonds. I'm to be blamed for not choosing a gift that Xiruo fancies."

"There's an annual sky cruise event next week. Accompany me to that."

"Ok!"
