On the day of her return to China, she was tied up and coaxed by the richest man to get her marriage

"..."

My sapphire!

Yu Jinzhao finally came to her senses, her snow-white cheeks turning bright red from the surging blood and qi.

Without a second thought, she rushed to Si Qing, snatched her hair clip from his hand, and the sparkling sapphire on it was gone…

Her heart clenched with pain, and the blow caused her to momentarily forget her usual gentle and considerate facade towards him. Instinctively, she glared at him with wide, angry eyes.

"you……!!"

Si Qing was initially a little embarrassed about losing her sapphire, but the next second her unexpected angry reaction made a barely perceptible smile flash across his eyes.

The cunning little fox finally couldn't resist revealing its true nature to him?

Yu Jinzhao really wanted to hurl insults at Si Qing and make him understand why the flowers were so red.

But in the end, reason prevailed; the words of abuse were on the tip of her tongue, but she had to swallow them back.

I took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the raging anger surging within me.

It might feel good to criticize Si Qing for a moment, but the consequences could be disastrous!

She needs to be composed, otherwise all her previous forbearance will have been for nothing!

In just a few seconds, Yu Jinzhao calmed down, as if his earlier red-faced and furious outburst was just his imagination.

But Si Qing knew he wasn't mistaken. Although her angry reaction only lasted for a blink of an eye, he could intuitively feel the familiarity of the once willful and arrogant Miss Yu, who would explode at the slightest provocation.

Unexpectedly, a sapphire that fell by chance brought out her true self.

So this is a case of "the flowers you plant with care may not bloom, while the willows you plant unintentionally may thrive."

He stared intently at Yu Jinzhao, then suddenly chuckled softly. He lowered his neck slightly, raised his brow bone to meet her gaze, and asked with a smile, "What about me, hmm?"

He trailed off in a deep, sexy voice, exuding a roguish charm with a hint of wickedness.

Yu Jinzhao appeared calm and composed, but his fists were clenched so tightly that he wished he could punch this bastard in the face.

He knocked off her sapphire and he still has the nerve to laugh?

It's hard for her not to suspect that he didn't do it on purpose!

You still have the nerve to ask yourself what's wrong with you? You're a damn spendthrift!

Yu Jinzhao cursed inwardly, but knowing he was doing it on purpose, she naturally became more cautious on the surface, offering a gentle smile.

How could you be so careless?

God is blind! My poor sapphire, why didn't that bastard fall into the sewer!

She tried hard to hide her true emotions, but she was ultimately heartbroken for the sapphire.

The moment he opened his mouth, the gritted teeth in his voice couldn't hide Si Qing's keen senses.

It turns out that only when money is involved can her mask crumble.

This little fox is not only cunning, but also greedy.

Si Qing's dark eyes were unfathomable. He loosened his tie and spoke slowly, "It's just that your diamonds weren't of good quality."

How can this guy still hold the victim-blaming theory?

Regardless, she caught him in the act of taking her sapphire, and she was in the right. Even if she couldn't afford to offend him, she simply couldn't let money get in the way.

Grandma always said that a girl should never suffer a loss when it comes to food!

She gripped the hair clip tightly, summoning her courage to defend her interests.

"This diamond is a rare sapphire, very expensive, worth fifty million."

When she said the words "fifty million," she deliberately emphasized them and even made a gesture towards him.

She's given him such a hint, he definitely wouldn't feel comfortable not compensating, right?

Si Qing raised an eyebrow, loosened his tie, and exuded a seductive aura with every move.

Then, he leaned closer to look at her, his Adam's apple bobbing as he let out a low chuckle.

"so what?"

As he drew closer, his warm breath brushed against her cheek.

The overwhelming aura pressed down on her, and she felt a sudden twitch between her eyebrows. She quickly stepped back to create distance between them.

"You just said it has no life force..."

Yu Jinzhao gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk for money.

"So, you are fully responsible."

Fearing she might anger Si Qing, she weakly added,

"This was a gift from my brother. I'm embarrassed to say I lost it... I need to buy another one, but I'm a little short on cash right now..."

She's acting so pitiful and humble; as a man, he certainly wouldn't want to stoop to her level.

Si Qing slowly straightened up, put one hand in his pocket, and said calmly,

"You said last night that you treated my mother and received payment from her. How much was it?"

Yu Jinzhao had a bad feeling, but still answered, "One hundred million."

Si Qing chuckled, "Your acupuncture skills have half of my military badge, so shouldn't half of the 100 million you've earned also belong to me?"

The implication is that this would just offset the compensation for the sapphire.

Yu Jinzhao, "..." She was so damn unable to refute it.

After a two-second pause, she loosened her clenched fist, looking utterly dejected, and let out a frustrated "oh."

After Si Qing figured out how to break through her defenses, he suddenly found her angry but unable to speak out and swallow her anger quite amusing.

He gave a slight smirk, his tone as indifferent as ever, "I'm going to the team."

After saying that, he brushed past her and walked away.

Yu Jinzhao stared at his retreating figure, feeling utterly frustrated. In a fit of anger, she grabbed a vase from the sink and swung it at his back.

I wouldn't dare to smash it; I was just going through the motions to vent my frustration.

But Si Qing seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, turning around unexpectedly.

Guess if Master Si will compensate Chaochao for the diamonds~
