Chapter 27: How Dare You Threaten Me!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The hot air that came out of the other party’s mouth blew into her ears. Chu Luo couldn’t stand it and shrunk her neck.
She struggled in his arms but didn’t move. She was angry and anxious. “Let go of me!”
Li Yan’s gaze landed on her small, red ears. His other hand on the armrest of the wheelchair moved a little, but he didn’t let go of her immediately. Instead, he said in a lower voice, “Promise me first.”
Chu Luo was furious. “How dare you threaten me!” After saying that, she turned around, intending to tap his acupoints.
Li Yan released her at this moment.
Chu Luo quickly stood up and took two steps to the side. She pointed at him angrily and said, “You, you, you…” She wanted to scold him, but she couldn’t find the words. She glared at him and said, “How would I know if your words are sincere?”
Li Yan looked at her eyes, which had turned bright from anger, and was silent for a while before saying, “If you don’t believe me, I can get someone to replicate the jade pendant here.”
Chu Luo tilted her head and thought about where she had left the jade pendant before nodding. “Alright, I’ll go look for it.”
After saying that, she walked towards her bedroom.
After she found the jade pendant, she didn’t go out immediately. Instead, she raised it in front of her eyes and observed it. It was a high-grade white jade, but without Phoenix inside. Regardless of how high-quality the jade was, it wouldn’t fetch an extremely high price.
Chu Luo held the jade in one hand as her lips moved rapidly. She tapped the jade several times with her other hand, and a phoenix totem appeared in the originally crystal clear jade.
After she did all of this, the corners of her lips curled up. “Although this is an illusion, his men definitely won’t discover it if they replicate using this jade.”
After saying that, she put away the jade pendant and walked out.
She walked up to Li Yan and handed him the jade. “Here, the jade pendant you asked for. Give me the key.”
Li Yan gave her the key without hesitation.
Chu Luo took the key before passing the jade pendant to him.
After Li Yan took the jade pendant, he said to Qin Ming, who was standing by the door, “Bring the jade carving master here.”
“Yes, Master.”
After Qin Ming left, Chu Luo and Li Yan went to eat.
After dinner, Chu Luo prepared to start treating his leg.
Li Yan said, “Go to your bedroom.”
Chu Luo was about to reject him when Li Yan added, “They’ll be making imitation jade in the living room later. There are a lot of people.”
Chu Luo thought for a while. Considering how obsessed with cleanliness this person was, he definitely wouldn’t be willing to be treated in front of so many people. Furthermore, she wanted to quietly prepare for the college entrance examination for the next two months, so she should try to stay out of trouble. Letting more people know about her ability was a troublesome matter in itself.
So she agreed.
She pushed Li Yan into the bedroom.
Li Yan quietly surveyed the room. This bedroom wasn’t big. Other than the books and documents on the desk, there wasn’t much else.
Finally, his gaze landed on her 1.5-meter bed.
On it, there were no plush toys that ordinary girls liked. The plainest bedsheets were covered with blankets, and there was only a portable audio player beside the pillow. There wasn’t even a tablet that girls usually liked to play with.
This reminded him of her situation in the Chu family, according to the investigation report. Her elder sister lived in a princess’ room, but she lived in a tiny room similar to the servants’.
The man beside her was too silent. Chu Luo reminded him, “Hey, I’m going to treat you.”
Li Yan looked at her and suddenly said, “Li Yan.”
“Huh? What?”
“My name.”
“Oh.”
“…”
Chu Luo looked at him, who was suddenly emanating cold air, and found that he was wearing a very loose pair of casual pants today. She said, “You don’t have to take off your pants today. Just roll them up.”
Li Yan nodded at her silently and bent down to roll up his pants.
Chu Luo waited for him to roll up his trousers, then walked over and squatted by his feet. She took a look at the curse mark on his leg and put her hand on it.
Li Yan looked at the petite girl who kept mumbling something, his gaze deepening.
He didn’t believe that she was the Chu family’s Chu Luo. Someone with such ability couldn’t possibly have been born to such an ordinary family and not be welcomed.
So, who exactly was she?
