When did she say that?
Qiao Ruoxi’s mind was filled with questions. She subconsciously reached out to take a look at the jade. “This jade pendant…”
Just as her fingers were about to touch Yu Jue, Wen Ke’er was shocked. She immediately pushed her hand away and covered Yu Jue. She asked warily, “What are you doing?”
Qiao Ruoxi came back to her senses and asked, “I just wanted to ask, how did you get this jade?”
“It’s none of your business!” Wen Ke’er scolded. “Brother Nan gave it to me.”
‘The jade pendant was given to Wen Ke’er by Feng Yunan?’
‘The jade pendant used to belong to Feng Yunan?’
Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyes and looked at Feng Yunan. The man’s handsome facial features were as cold as ice. He did not smile, and it made people shudder.
Mu Yunli thought that Qiao Ruoxi liked the jade pendant and smiled. “If you like it, I’ll give you one too.”
Qiao Ruoxi shook her head. Her mind was in a mess. She seemed to have forgotten something important, but she could not remember anything.
“Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom.”
Her head started to hurt again. She excused herself to go to the bathroom and left with her dress.
Feng Yunli saw that Qiao Ruoxi had left and wanted to chase after her. Mu Yunli saw his intention and stopped him. “Mr. Feng, let’s talk somewhere else.”
Qiao Ruoxi was only his date tonight. He would not give Feng Yunan a chance to get close to her.
Qiao Ruoxi walked through the crowd and left the party. She went to the corridor of the hotel.
The corridor was empty, and the temperature there was slightly lower than that in the room. She crossed her arms and looked for the bathroom.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her and blocked her way.
“Qin Xuming?” Qiao Ruoxi asked as she took a few steps back in shock after seeing the person’s face clearly.
The man had his hands in his pockets and his head was shrouded in shadows. She could not see his expression clearly.
A sinister voice spread over. “Little Xi, I didn’t expect to see you again so soon. How have you been while I was gone?”
When she saw Qin Xuming again, Qiao Ruoxi could not help but think of the time when she was kidnapped by him on the rooftop. She was so panicked that she could only pretend to be calm. “You, didn’t you already…”
She heard that he had already been sentenced and would not be able to come out anytime soon. Why did he suddenly appear now?
Was he here to take revenge on her?
“I’m fine now. Little Xi, aren’t you happy that I was released?”
He raised his head and walked towards her with a sinister look in his eyes.
Qiao Ruoxi’s hands were sweating and her heart was in her throat. She could not explain why she was so afraid of Qin Xuming.
Fear forced her to take a step back. She turned to run, but Qin Xuming was one step ahead of her and stopped her.
Qiao Ruoxi’s back hit the wall and she asked in horror, “Qin Xuming, what are you trying to do?”
Ever since she saw how crazy the man was, she could not face him calmly.
Qin Xuming blocked her from going and sneered. “Little Xi, do you know how I was released?”
Qiao Ruoxi turned pale and shook her head. “I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.”
“Even if you don’t want to know, I have to tell you.”
He extended his other hand and Qiao Ruoxi instinctively turned her head to avoid him.
Her resistance made him very unhappy. He pinched her chin hard and forced her to look at him.
He had no idea how scary he looked right now. It was as if he had gone crazy.
