When did she say that?
Qiao Ruoxiâs mind was filled with questions. She subconsciously reached out to take a look at the jade. âThis jade pendantâ¦â
Just as her fingers were about to touch Yu Jue, Wen Keâer was shocked. She immediately pushed her hand away and covered Yu Jue. She asked warily, âWhat are you doing?â
Qiao Ruoxi came back to her senses and asked, âI just wanted to ask, how did you get this jade?â
âItâs none of your business!â Wen Keâer scolded. âBrother Nan gave it to me.â
âThe jade pendant was given to Wen Keâer by Feng Yunan?â
âThe jade pendant used to belong to Feng Yunan?â
Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyes and looked at Feng Yunan. The manâs handsome facial features were as cold as ice. He did not smile, and it made people shudder.
Mu Yunli thought that Qiao Ruoxi liked the jade pendant and smiled. âIf you like it, Iâll give you one too.â
Qiao Ruoxi shook her head. Her mind was in a mess. She seemed to have forgotten something important, but she could not remember anything.
âSorry, I need to go to the bathroom.â
Her head started to hurt again. She excused herself to go to the bathroom and left with her dress.
Feng Yunli saw that Qiao Ruoxi had left and wanted to chase after her. Mu Yunli saw his intention and stopped him. âMr. Feng, letâs talk somewhere else.â
Qiao Ruoxi was only his date tonight. He would not give Feng Yunan a chance to get close to her.
Qiao Ruoxi walked through the crowd and left the party. She went to the corridor of the hotel.
The corridor was empty, and the temperature there was slightly lower than that in the room. She crossed her arms and looked for the bathroom.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her and blocked her way.
âQin Xuming?â Qiao Ruoxi asked as she took a few steps back in shock after seeing the personâs face clearly.
The man had his hands in his pockets and his head was shrouded in shadows. She could not see his expression clearly.
A sinister voice spread over. âLittle Xi, I didnât expect to see you again so soon. How have you been while I was gone?â
When she saw Qin Xuming again, Qiao Ruoxi could not help but think of the time when she was kidnapped by him on the rooftop. She was so panicked that she could only pretend to be calm. âYou, didnât you alreadyâ¦â
She heard that he had already been sentenced and would not be able to come out anytime soon. Why did he suddenly appear now?
Was he here to take revenge on her?
âIâm fine now. Little Xi, arenât you happy that I was released?â
He raised his head and walked towards her with a sinister look in his eyes.
Qiao Ruoxiâs hands were sweating and her heart was in her throat. She could not explain why she was so afraid of Qin Xuming.
Fear forced her to take a step back. She turned to run, but Qin Xuming was one step ahead of her and stopped her.
Qiao Ruoxiâs back hit the wall and she asked in horror, âQin Xuming, what are you trying to do?â
Ever since she saw how crazy the man was, she could not face him calmly.
Qin Xuming blocked her from going and sneered. âLittle Xi, do you know how I was released?â
Qiao Ruoxi turned pale and shook her head. âI donât know, and I donât want to know.â
âEven if you donât want to know, I have to tell you.â
He extended his other hand and Qiao Ruoxi instinctively turned her head to avoid him.
Her resistance made him very unhappy. He pinched her chin hard and forced her to look at him.
He had no idea how scary he looked right now. It was as if he had gone crazy.
