Chapter 198: The Amulet Lost

Lexie wanted to pull her hand back in fear, but she grabbed it tightly. Xiao Ruoxuan said, “Don’t be afraid. There’s something very important to me in the rubbish you threw, so I lost control just now. I’ll give this to you as an apology.”

With that, she withdrew a ring from her hand and stuffed it into Lexie’s.

Lexie said in horror, “I did something wrong. I can’t take it.”

Xiao Ruoxuan smiled even more warmly and even intimately helped her wipe her tears. “Anyway, it’s my fault. No matter what, I shouldn’t have gotten angry at you. If you don’t accept it, I’ll feel uneasy.”

Lexie saw the gentleness in her eyes and could only accept it.

Xiao Ruoxuan patted her arm and said, “Go back. It’s late. Have a good rest.”

Lexie felt that the Miss was being too gentle. What a good person.

After she had walked far away, Xiao Ruoxuan took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands ruthlessly. She cursed silently, “What a dirty thing.”

Unable to find the amulet, she had to return to her room. She closed her eyes in frustration. Was she really going to miss this chance?

No… she was indignant.

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. If there’s no amulet, there’s no amulet. Anyway, she just needed to make them believe that the amulet was in her hands.

After figuring it out, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Xiao Ying and Cheng Yang were in an apartment. This was where they had stayed before.

Xiao Ying looked at the familiar arrangement and felt very nostalgic.

Cheng Yang hugged her from behind and said, “After this matter is settled, let’s go on a trip.”

Xiao Ying nodded.

Seeing that she had agreed so readily, Cheng Yang smiled. What a silly girl.

Xiao Ying suddenly thought of something and came to her senses. She grabbed his collar and asked, “Where is your uncle’s family?”

Cheng Yang raised an eyebrow and said, “You only remembered to ask about this now?”

Recently, there had been too many things happening and she had indeed forgotten. Thinking of this, she could not help but recall the scene she had seen on that abandoned small building. Thinking of those broken limbs, her face turned pale.

Of course Cheng Yang knew what she was thinking and asked seriously, “If I killed them, what would you do?”

Xiao Ying’s eyes instantly turned red as she said, “I’ll get you to turn yourself in. After that, I’ll accompany you.”

What she meant was that even if Cheng Yang was sentenced to death, she would die with him.

Cheng Yang smiled and said, “You’re really silly. That family is living well in the countryside.”

Of course, they were living without freedom. His expression darkened when he thought of the family that had been clamoring.

Xiao Ying, who had already thought of the worst-case scenario, was stunned for a moment before understanding what he meant. She did not receive any consolation. Instead, she said in even more horror, “Then who did you kill?”

Cheng Yang patted her head in amusement and said, “Why must you think of me as a murderer? Those things are props. They’re all fake. The goal is to fool that fake amulet in you.”

Xiao Ying was even more confused and waited for his answer suspiciously.

Cheng Yang sighed and said, “Why would I fall in love with a little fool like you?”

Before Xiao Ying could flare up, he quickly said, “Qiao Zihao came to look for me and told me about you and the fake amulet. I need to cooperate with him and put on a show in front of you. Once I become the person you think I am, I can relax the fake amulet’s guard.”

He then asked in frustration, “But why would you think of me as a murderer?”

Xiao Ying paused. So that was what Qiao Zihao had been trying to explain to her. But she couldn’t tell him that he had been a murderer in his previous life, could she?

Xiao Ying tried to change the topic..
