The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70
Chapter 129 The Life-Saving Jade Thumb Ring
When Liu Yan arrived at the car, he nodded slightly to Xin Yi before quickly getting into the driver's seat.
At this moment, Yunbo smiled and said very politely to Xinyi, "Yiyi, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of Fenghua in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Xin Yi patted her chest without hesitation and solemnly assured them, "You can rest assured. Since I call her aunt, we are family. As long as I'm alive, I will never let her encounter any danger!"
Receiving such a firm reply, Yunbo seemed much relieved and then said, "That's good. As for Haohao, as long as everything is arranged properly, I will send someone to pick him up and take him to the capital."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunbo turned around and reached out to open the car door.
However, at that moment, Xin Yi seemed to suddenly remember something important and hurriedly shouted, "Uncle Yun, please wait a moment!"
Yunbo looked at Xinyi with a puzzled expression and asked, "Yiyi, is there anything else?"
Xin Yi blinked, her gaze fixed on Yun Bo, and said softly, "Uncle Yun, do you have any jade items on you?"
Yunbo paused for a moment, then smiled gently and replied, "Jade items? Yiyi, if you like jade or similar things, I'll find some good ones and send them to you when I get back. However, given the current situation, it's really not appropriate to show off these kinds of items!"
Although Yunbo spoke in a very natural tone, the perceptive Xinyi still keenly noticed the fleeting, unusual expression on his face. She understood that Yunbo probably mistakenly thought she was asking him for payment.
So Xin Yi quickly explained, "Uncle Yun, please don't misunderstand me. I just wanted to make a small item for you to keep you safe, since you are always in danger."
Hearing this, Yunbo suddenly realized that he had misunderstood Xinyi. But then, he couldn't help but become curious about what this so-called "life-saving gadget" would actually be like.
“Hmm… I don’t have anything like that on me. How about I go ask Xiao Liu!” With that, Yun Bo turned to look at Liu Yan, who had been quietly listening to their conversation.
Liu Yan shook her head, indicating, "I don't have any here either!"
Upon hearing this, Xin Yi's eyes revealed an undisguised sense of disappointment. Helplessly, she turned around and slowly walked towards the courtyard.
Yunbo's eyes suddenly lit up. "Xiaoliu, I remember someone gave me a jade thumb ring before. You left it in your car, right? Do you still have it?"
"Sir, yes, I almost forgot about it. I was just thinking of returning it to the person when I had time! I remember it was in the bag behind the seat, could you please look for it?"
Yunbo slowly reached into his bag and rummaged around until he finally pulled out a small, exquisite box. Opening the lid, he found the jade thumb ring lying quietly inside, radiating a warm, lustrous sheen.
He gently rolled down the car window and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Yiyi, wait a minute!"
At this moment, Xin Yi was concentrating on thinking about how to provide some items to ensure the safety of those who sincerely serve China.
Suddenly, Yunbo's shout interrupted her thoughts, and she turned around abruptly.
"Uncle Yun, what's wrong? Is there something else?" Xin Yi asked with a puzzled look.
Yunbo smiled and handed the small box out of the car window, saying, "Here's a jade thumb ring. I wonder if it suits your taste?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Xin Yi's eyes. She quickly stepped forward and took the box. When she saw the jade thumb ring with excellent quality inside, her face lit up with ecstatic joy.
"That's great! This will definitely come in handy. Uncle Yun, could you please wait a little longer?"
After saying that, Xin Yi hurriedly ran to the side with the jade ring in her hand, then turned her back to Yun Bo and began to fiddle with it. After a short while, she turned around and handed the jade ring back to Yun Bo.
Looking at the jade thumb ring that had been altered so much, Yunbo couldn't help but ask in surprise, "This... it's done so quickly?"
Yunbo carefully held the jade thumb ring, his eyes sharp as he examined it closely. Sure enough, after some scrutiny, he found that the jade thumb ring now appeared even more crystal clear and radiant than before, as if it contained endless mysterious power.
However, despite this, a doubt still arose in his mind—could this small jade thumb ring really save his life? Was he supposed to swallow it whole when he suffered a severe injury?
Thinking of this, Yunbo frowned slightly, wondering to himself whether grinding the jade thumb ring into powder would affect its efficacy.
"Yiyi, in such a short time, this jade thumb ring has actually transformed into a peerless divine medicine?" Yunbo asked with a face full of suspicion.
"Oh dear, Uncle Yun, what nonsense are you thinking! You can't eat this jade thumb ring! What I mean is, if you encounter a dangerous situation, just smash it to the ground!" Yi Yi quickly explained.
"Oh, I see. Well then, thank you so much for your kindness, Miss Yiyi!" Yunbo replied as if he had just realized something.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunbo gently placed the jade thumb ring back into the box.
Xin Yi, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and knew very well that Yun Bo did not really take this matter seriously.
Left with no other choice, she solemnly advised, "Uncle Yun, I truly want to help you! There are many things I can't tell you right now, but please remember to always carry this jade thumb ring with you and keep it safe. If wearing it on your wrist is inconvenient, you might find a red string to tie it around your neck so you can access it at any time. Believe me, you will be extremely grateful for it in the future!"
When Xin Yi looked at Yun Bo with a solemn expression, Yun Bo knew he couldn't refuse, so he could only nod repeatedly and reply, "Don't worry, I'll put it on as soon as I get home!"
"That's wonderful! I wish you a smooth journey!" Xin Yi said with a smile.
Watching the car drive further and further away until it disappeared completely from sight, Xin Yi slowly turned around and walked lightly towards her own yard.
He secretly thought to himself, hoping that this time he could help Uncle Yun successfully resolve a crisis.
Xin Yi gently closed the door and then walked straight towards where Feng Hua was.
"Auntie, you must cherish the people in front of you!" Xin Yi said earnestly to Feng Hua.
Feng Hua gazed at the vibrant begonia before her, and tears instantly blurred her vision.
“Yiyi, you’re too young to understand the reasons. If he were to come to me on his own initiative, even if endless suffering awaits us, or even if we were to fall into an abyss of no return, I would still be willing to walk hand in hand with him. Unfortunately, all of this is just wishful thinking on my part. It’s getting late. You should take Haohao to wash up. I’m going back to my room to rest.” After saying this, Feng Hua left without looking back, leaving behind a slightly lonely figure.
Watching Feng Hua's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Xin Yi ultimately chose to remain silent.
Since she is unwilling to open her heart to me at this moment, I can only wait patiently and believe that one day she will open her heart and share the secrets deep within my heart.
"Haohao, it's time for a bath!" Xinyi called softly.
"Okay, sister!" Hao Hao replied cheerfully.
