章節 157: Strange Atmosphere

After dinner, Li Xueyue bathed and changed into her nightgown. 

She made up her mind to return Wen Jinkai's pendant to him as soon as possible. She unlocked the vanity drawer where two pendants were found. Her eyes lingered on Yu Zhen's pendant, picking it up to observe the obsidian. Sighing to herself, she slipped it back into her drawer, picked up Wen Jinkai's pendant, and wrapped it in a handkerchief. 

She didn't plan to lead Wen Jinkai on, but it happened without her realizing it. 

Instead of giving Wen Jinkai's pendant back to him personally, Li Xueyue would rather have someone deliver it but she feared he'd kill the messenger. Asking the twins to deliver it was impossible—the twins despised him to the core, and she couldn't blame them.

"Chen-ge would kill Wen Jinkai if he could." Li Xueyue sighed to herself, running a hand through her combed hair. "He'll only despise him more…" she grumbled.
