Long Xiao lowered her eyes slightly. She spoke casually, but it was obvious that she had been wronged.
When the man heard this, he recalled his subconscious action just now. He smiled and said, âI donât like others touching my face. This is my reason. Itâs not against you. Donât think too much about it.â
âI know that you have mysophobia and donât like others to get too close to you. âBut weâre good friends. Moreover, our relationship was so good in the past. If you put me in the category of ordinary friends, that would be breaking my heart.â
Long Xiao had an understanding look on her face. She did not forget to draw the main point. They were good friends, so there was an exception.
âLong Xiao, I didnât do it on purpose. It was an instinctive reaction. Itâs too difficult to change it.â The man said it in an extremely tactful manner, but it was the truth.
He did not remember what happened in the past. He did not know what kind of relationship they had exactly.
But now, he only knew that he did not like to let others get too close to him, even if they were good friends.
âThereâs no rush. We can take it slow.â Long Xiao smiled to ease the awkward atmosphere, âYou still have to go to work, right? Hurry up and go. Thereâs a banquet tonight at seven oâclock. You must come back early. Iâve prepared a suit for you to attend the banquet.â
âOkay.â The man responded. He walked out of the main door with half of his face slightly swollen.
Long Xiao followed him to the door and watched the manâs slender figure walk down the steps.
She swore in her heart that this man was hers and that no one would be able to snatch him away.
She was willing to pay any price.
Until she could not see the manâs figure, she walked into the garage and drove the newly bought Maserati to the Yang family.
Yang Jinâs villa was not far from the Dragon Villa, and the drive was only about twenty minutes.
When Yang Jin found out that Long Xiao had arrived, he came out to welcome her. He saw her alighting from the car. She was beautiful, fair-skinned, and had a well-proportioned figure.
Her entire body exuded an air of nobility, which was completely different from those sexy and flirtatious women.
He knew it from the moment he saw her.
When they came closer, Yang Jin smiled: âMiss Longâs arrival was sudden, I was not ready to welcome you.â
Long Xiao carried the latest luxury brand bag in her hand and walked elegantly towards Yang Jin in her high heels, she knew everything, thus, she did not beat around the bush: âI came here because I have something to tell Gu Master Yang, there is no need to be so polite, Gu Master Yang.â
Yang Jin did not mind Long Xiaoâs intentional alienation, instead, he made an inviting gesture: âMiss Long, letâs go in and talk inside.â
Long Xiao looked at Yang Jin before she walked in with her high heels.
Yang Jin looked at Long Xiaoâs back, the corners of his mouth curled up as he walked in with his long legs.
After entering, Yang Jin instructed: âMake a cup of Rose Tea for Miss Long.â
âYes, Master.â The butler glanced at Long Xiao and went to make the tea with a smile.
Long Xiao walked to the leather sofa and sat down. Her legs were crossed and she sat elegantly.
Yang Jin sat lazily on the sofa with his long legs crossed. He leaned against the armrest of the sofa with one hand and looked up at her. His gaze was somewhat impudent. âMiss Long came to look for me. Is there something you need?â
Long Xiao was extremely disgusted by Yang Jinâs gaze, but she did not show it on the surface.
âDidnât you say that there was a Gu called âHeart to heartâ?â
Yang Jinâs long fingers turned the golden ring on his middle finger and looked at Long Xiao with a faint smile: âI did mention that before, Miss Long wants it now?â
Long Xiao nodded: âYes, I want it.â
She regretted not accepting gu worms like âHeart to heartâ in the beginning. She thought that he did not remember anything and that she could spend a lot of time making this man fall in love with her.
In the end, someone appeared halfway. If she had used it in the beginning, the result would not have been like this.
He would fall in love with another woman again.
Yang Jin smiled smugly as if he had expected it. He said, âIf Miss Long Xiao wants it, of course, Iâm willing to give it to you. However, there are still terms and conditions.â
Long Xiao said, âWhat conditions? If you want money, you can give me your price.â
At this moment, the butler brought two cups of tea. A cup of rose tea was placed in front of Long Xiao, and the wolfberry tea was placed in front of Yang Jin.
Yang Jin was not in a hurry to reply. His gaze was fixed on the sexily dressed butler in front of him. From this angle, he could see the scenery in the wide neckline.
Furthermore, she had a good figure under the A-line skirt.
The proportion of the butlerâs figure was very good. When she wore sexy clothes, her figure would appear even hotter.
He extended his long arm and hugged the slender waist of the butler. He then pulled her into his embrace. The butler was already used to Yang Jinâs actions. She was as obedient as a cat in his embrace.
Yang Jinâs slender fingers lifted the housekeeperâs beautiful hair, moved it to the tip of his nose, and sniffed it. He raised his eyes to look at Long Xiao, the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. âI have plenty of money, and I donât lack that money. Donât you know what kind of person I am, Miss Long?â
The housekeeper pretended to be embarrassed and pushed Yang Jin. âMaster, youâre too bad. Miss Long is still here.â
Yang Jin became more and more impudent as if he treated Long Xiao as if she was invisible. He chuckled. âIâm giving Miss Long a chance to learn. Otherwise, how would she know what I want?â
Long Xiao looked at the scene in front of her. It was too impactful. At the same time, she knew that Yang Jin did not want money, but her.
If she wanted Gu worms that cherished each otherâs hearts, she had to exchange herself?
Long Xiao was born into a wealthy family and was groomed as an heir. Whether it was talent or etiquette, she had learned them very well.
Her self-esteem was very high too, how could she use her body to make a trade?
âYang Jin, you are too shameless.â
After saying this, Long Xiao stood up and left quickly in her high heels, afraid that she would be contaminated with something dirty. Yang Jin stared at Long Xiaoâs back as she left and laughed out loud. There was nothing that he couldnât get.
However, something happened to the Long family and alerted all the guards.
Long Qingyue stared at the corpse of the bugs on the windowsill. Someone had sneaked into Long Sizeâs room last night. It was unclear what their intentions were.
âSecond master Long, all the guards have been sent to look for them. If itâs someone from the courtyard, they will be found very quickly. Even if itâs someone from the outside, they will be found very quickly too. Second Master, donât be angry yet,â the Butler advised.
The butler was not exaggerating at all. There were Gu worms in Long Sizeâs room. Not only were there poisonous Gu worms but there was also a type of Gu Worm, which was a trace.
As long as someone entered Long Sizeâs room with a bad intention, the trace would follow them and leave traces along the way. If they were of the same species, they would be able to find traces and find the intruder.
Now, the Butler had sent people to look for the person who had sneaked into Long Sizeâs room with the trace.
At this moment, an ink-black trail fluttered its wings, sniffing and searching in the courtyard of the Dragon Manor.
Behind it was dozens of guards. As soon as they found the person, they would immediately arrest and interrogate him.
