Chapter 717 - 718: Let Me Check For You

Gu Qi Chen simply responded nonchalantly, “Who gave you that gemstone necklace?”

It was strange that Gu Qi Chen cared about who the sender was.

Xia Yangyang casually replied, “The jewelry was given by Brother Li; it’s very important. Can you help me look for it?”

Upon hearing the words “very important”, Gu Qi Chen unconsciously tightened the grip of the hand in his coat pocket.

Gu Qi Chen knew he should give back the gemstone bracelet to Xia Yangyang.

He disdained getting involved in petty acts such as hiding the bracelet.

However, seeing Xia Yangyang so anxious…

An uncontrollable rage welled up in his heart.

Gu Qi Chen raised his head, “I didn’t see it.”

Xia Yangyang looked up at Gu Qi Chen.

His face was impassive.

Forget it, Xia Yangyang didn’t expect Gu Qi Chen to help her search anyway.

Xia Yangyang carefully searched in the bushes.

But still, she couldn’t find it.

But she had definitely not gone anywhere else just now.

She didn’t have a large activity space either.

There should be no reason not to find it.

Unless…

Xia Yangyang abruptly stood up, “Gu Qi Chen, you picked it up, didn’t you?”

Gu Qi Chen’s eyebrows twitched suddenly.

Xia Yangyang knew then that her guess had been correct.

Xia Yangyang was furious inside.

Gu Qi Chen had picked up her gemstone bracelet but didn’t want to return it.

Gu Qi Chen looked indifferent, “Xia Yangyang, don’t spout nonsense. If you don’t believe me, feel free to search me.”

Saying so, Gu Qi Chen opened his arms, clearly ready for Xia Yangyang to search him.

Xia Yangyang was a bit sceptical.

Was Gu Qi Chen really telling the truth, or had the gemstone bracelet been picked up by someone else?

But that gemstone bracelet was really too precious.@@novelbin@@

Xia Yangyang definitely couldn’t afford to lose it.

Indeed, Xia Yangyang came forward to search Gu Qi Chen’s pockets in his clothing.

Xia Yangyang checked very carefully.

But there really wasn’t anything.

Gu Qi Chen watched Xia Yangyang with icy indifference, “Do you want me to take off my clothes for you to check?”

Xia Yangyang was utterly disheartened.

It really seemed the bracelet wasn’t with Gu Qi Chen.

Gu Qi Chen was definitely not the kind of person to covet a single gemstone bracelet.

But where did the bracelet go?

Xia Yangyang was so anxious she was breaking out in a sweat.

Seeing Xia Yangyang care so much, Gu Qi Chen’s heart was filled with jealousy: “Is the damned bracelet worth so much worry? You treasure other man’s ruby like a baby, but the ruby I gave you, you throw it away like rubbish. Xia Yangyang, am I, Gu Qi Chen, so beneath your regard?”

Xia Yangyang was caught in a state of anxious confusion.

She didn’t really pay any heed to Gu Qi Chen’s mysterious words.

However, Gu Qi Chen had actually given her a rare ruby necklace four years ago.

At that time, it was worth two hundred million.

When Xia Yangyang divorced Gu Qi Chen, she moved all her belongings out of Maple Villa.

However, she didn’t take that ruby necklace with her.

Gu Qi Chen’s thought process was certainly strange.

That gemstone necklace was so expensive, wasn’t it a good thing she didn’t covet it?

From Xia Yangyang’s point of view, Gu Qi Chen’s behavior was akin to playing the offended party after reaping an advantage.

Quite unreasonable.

Xia Yangyang didn’t have the energy or mood to argue with Gu Qi Chen.

All she cared about was finding the ruby necklace quickly.

She wondered if she might have lost it earlier at the banquet hall.

Xia Yangyang turned around and left again.

She paid no heed to Gu Qi Chen.

Gu Qi Chen was fuming with rage inside.

Suddenly, raising his hand, he said, “Xia Yangyang, isn’t this the gemstone bracelet you’re looking for?”
