Chapter 364 – The two lovebirds, looking like they were in love, had very different ideas in mind. (3)

Jiang YaGe pulled out two bowls. She made sparerib and lotus root soup today. The warmth made wonders in one’s stomach. She even gave Li ShiZe extra spareribs. Her portion only has soup without the meat.

When they were done eating, Jiang YaGe was concerned about his work again.

Li ShiZe said to her, “I am doing fine at the Gu family. They had just moved to City S this year and had never met me in the past. I wouldn’t have to worry about them making fun of me.”

He paused, then said to her, “I saw my mother today.”

Jiang YaGe was taken aback a little. She lowered her head so Li ShiZe would not see the hatred on her. From her perspective, she did not have to suffer for one and half year in jail if it wasn’t for Fang JunRong’s insistence on it. And she had to pay a big fine that wiped out her savings.

“I dared not speak to her. I’m sure she would not forgive me.” Something seemed to have occurred to him and he got excited all of a sudden. “I saw a jadeite bracelet that looked a lot like my mom’s one at the Gu’s today.”

“Didn’t you want something like that in the past? I had wanted to give it to you as a gift but my mom lost hers. I didn’t think I’d see it at the Gu’s.”

Jiang YaGe’s heart was about to jump out of her chest. Her mouth felt dry. “Are you sure about it?”

She dreamed about that bracelet a lot and the mystical mountain. Too bad, as try as she might, she even made up a story to tell Li ShiZe but still wasn’t able to get her hand on it.

“The bracelet meant a lot to my mom. If I could buy it for her, perhaps she would forgive me.”

Jiang YaGe took a deep breath and forced a smile on herself. She held his hand and said, “Right. I am fully supportive of that. You should work hard and buy the bracelet back so you can ask Aunty for her forgiveness. When push comes to shove, we can always sell this house.”*

She made a decision to herself: She will get her hand on that bracelet no matter what it takes.

Li ShiZe saw the look in her eyes and sneered to himself. He sure wanted to see how Jiang YaGe would try to get her hands on it this time.

He had spent a lot of effort to have a counterfeit made. That was his gift to Jiang YaGe.

Jiang YaGe looked up, met his eyes, and the two exchanged a sweet smile with each other.

The two lovebirds, still looking like they were as in love with each other as before, had very different ideas in mind.

Li XinYun finally got home after Fang JunRong had been home for a while.

Fang JunRong gave Li XinYun a look and asked, “You went on a date?”

XinYun started dating a little while ago and was in her honeymoon period right now. She would go on dates from time to time. Fang JunRong had asked her to bring him home so she could meet him but the girl turned her down right away.

According to XinYun, they were merely dating and not planning on getting married. There was entirely no need to meet the parents.

As such, Fang JunRong decided to let it go. She was quite open when it came to things like that. As long as XinYun used protection, that was all that mattered.

Li XinYun giggled, picked up Kuaikuai, who was running on the treadmill and gave it a peck. “It’s just dating. It’s meh.”

Her young face along with the very mature look was very comical. Then, she winked at the turtle. “I’ve noticed that Kuaikuai is running faster and faster. What kind of an amazing turtle is it?!”

Fang JunRong couldn’t help but smile. “I heard that you are very popular now and have many suitors.”

Li XinYun waved her hand. “Most of them are just men who want to shave off 10 years of hard work. I don’t care about any of them! They are not high-quality suitors like yours.”

Truth was, she didn’t care too much that the men just wanted to shave off 10 years of hard work but, more importantly, they needed to be good looking and knew how to coddle her. Unfortunately, all of these men wanted to put on a front that it was love at first sight. Li XinYun didn’t have the time of day for any of them. None of them was as handsome as her mother’s assistant Jiang DeXian.
