Yun Qiao was helpless towards Xu Yinjie and wanted to slap him to death, but at the same time, she felt that the follow-up was difficult.
The Xu family cannot be offended easily.
She turned to leave.
Xu Yinjie reached out and took her arm.
Yun Qiao wore short sleeves today, revealing a large section of her arms that looked like jade lotus roots.
Xu Yinjie was enthusiastic, and his palms were hot. He held Yun Qiao, and the heat was almost scorching. He seemed to have brought the southern sun to Yancheng.
Yun Qiao's eyes tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to throw him over her shoulder. Xu Yinjie noticed it and released his hand in time.
The arm held by his palm was still hot.
"My fault!" He quickly raised his hands, "I didn't mean it."
After he said that, before Yun Qiao could react, he took her hand and stuffed the jewelry box into Yun Qiao's palm.
Then, he clenched it hard with both hands.
His body temperature should be higher than that of normal people, and wherever he touches his palms, he will feel hot.
His burning and vivid presence makes it difficult for people to ignore him.
"Take it." He whispered.
Before Yun Qiao could turn her back, Xu Yinjie had already let go of his hand, and took two steps back to keep his distance from Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao wanted to throw the box at his face.
At this time, a car passed by.
She didn't want the Xi family to see her having a conflict with Xu Yinjie, so she immediately calmed down her fierce look and kept her expression calm. She pretended to be calm: "I'll accept it, you go back first."
Xu Yinjie also saw the car coming behind him.
The car stopped in front of them.
The car door opened and Xi Lanting got out of the car leisurely and looked at Yun Qiao and Xu Yinjie.
Under the sunlight, his eyes showed an unusual light brown color, and he glanced coldly at Xu Yinjie.
Xu Yinjie's heart felt inexplicably cold.
Yun Qiao's expression also changed, and he called out in a low voice: "Uncle Qi."
"The sun is so fierce at noon, what are you two doing standing at the door?" Xi Lanting asked, his tone was neither yin nor yang, it was not a good thing anyway.
"It's nothing. I'll give Yun Qiao a gift to apologize." It was Xu Yinjie who answered.
Xu Yinjie came to his senses and acted provocatively, unwilling to be outdone.
Xi Lanting didn't look at him, but looked at Yun Qiao, his eyes dim: "Really?"
"Yes, he gave me a pearl bracelet." Yun Qiao said.
Xi Lanting glanced at her.
He still didn't say anything, but Yun Qiao understood and obediently brought the box to him. Her expression and demeanor were like making an offering to a Bodhisattva.
Xu Yinjie said nothing.
The Yun Qiao he knew was highly skilled in martial arts and had strong backers. She went to Hong Kong alone and stayed at the Xu family, calm and collected. In Hong Kong, she killed Japanese spies and British soldiers without changing her expression.
She is a heroic heroine.
But this chivalrous woman was as docile as a cat in front of Xi Lanting.
Something was obviously wrong, but Xu Yinjie didn't feel anything was wrong.
This was the fourth time he faced Xi Lanting, and he couldn't raise his head in front of Xi Lanting.
This is not his illusion.
Not only did he feel this way, but so did Yun Qiao. Therefore, Yun Qiao followed Xi Lanting's advice, and she may not have even realized it.
Xi Lanting seems to be able to cast a spell and turn people into his puppets.
Xu Yinjie was distracted, while Xi Lanting opened the jewelry box and saw eight plump southern pearls pierced on the thin rope. The pearls were shining and touching.
Xi Lanting picked it up and looked at it carefully.
Yun Qiao and Xu Yinjie both thought he was going to say something, but they saw his fingers tighten slightly.
There was only a slight tightening, because the bones on the back of his hand were not exposed, and the pearl shattered between his fingers. He took it into his palm and crushed it gently, and fine powder fell from his fingers.
