Zhao Yeqing looked at the bracelet on her right wrist and nodded. He had spent so much effort for his family heirloom. Those few hundred taels meant nothing to him. He stood to the side, waiting for her to return the bracelet.
Dan Xiaoya thought he wanted her clothes too. Survival was paramount. She began to remove her clothing. Zhao Yeqing was puzzled by her strange behavior. Just taking a bracelet – did she need to undress? What was she doing? Trying to seduce him? Or playing some trick? He was curious about her intentions and didn’t stop her, standing to the side, watching her performance with interest.
Dan Xiaoya removed her outer coat and threw it on the bag, revealing her snow-white inner garment.
Her smooth, porcelain-like arms were fully exposed to Zhao Yeqing. Most young women would be mortified in such a situation, but Dan Xiaoya stood confidently before Zhao Yeqing, without a hint of shyness…
Zhao Yeqing felt anger surge within him. Her shamelessness, her lack of self-respect – she would sacrifice a woman’s dignity for a bracelet. Unforgivable…
Zhao Yeqing kicked the bag with his sword and grabbed Dan Xiaoya’s wrist. “Woman, stop playing dumb. What I want is on your wrist – this bracelet.” He held up the ruby bracelet before her. “Look carefully. This is what I want. Your silver can go to hell. Quickly remove this, or else…” He flung her arm away.
Dan Xiaoya suddenly realized he wanted to reclaim what she had stolen from him. She had completely misunderstood the situation. How embarrassing! Since becoming a thief, she had never failed before. This time, she had not only been caught but had also mistaken him for a robber. Rubbing her painful arm, she shamefully lowered her head. “I understand!” She reached to remove the bracelet but couldn’t after trying for a long time…
Jing Wang Ye’s heart moved and he leaped to Shan Xiaoya’s side.
With extreme speed, he took off his outer robe and draped it over Shan Xiaoya’s body. Holding her shoulders, he softly asked: “Are you alright?”
The guards quickly came to Jing Wang Ye’s side, defensively separating Jing Wang Ye and Shan Xiaoya from the man…
