Yue Linze chuckled softly, lowering his head again to find a suitable spot, finally locating a place on her chest and revealing the brooch’s pin.
As he was about to pierce it without hesitation, Tao Yu watched nervously and finally couldn’t help saying, “Mr. Yue, let me do it.”
Yue Linze gave her a sidelong glance and skillfully pinned the brooch. By the time Tao Yu came to her senses, he had already sat back, maintaining a considerable distance between them.
Tao Yu sighed in relief, immediately standing up. Looking at the beautiful accessory now on her, she asked in a good mood, “Why did Mr. Yue give me such an expensive piece of jewelry?”
“Because you’re embarrassing,” Yue Linze successfully diminished her joy with five words.
… First clothes, shoes, makeup, and now this expensive accessory. It seemed he was very concerned about his companion being poor. So why bring her here at all?
“There are many messy people at Gu Yansheng’s birthday party. Bringing you is to block them,” Yue Linze said slowly, as if reading her thoughts.
Tao Yu’s fingers stiffened, and she dared not think further. She coughed, “I see.”
“And this isn’t a gift. It’s borrowed. You’ll return it after we leave the old mansion,” Yue Linze said calmly.
Tao Yu’s remaining joy disappeared. She laughed helplessly, “I’ll need to find a good place to store it. What if I accidentally damage it?”
Given Yue Linze’s meticulous nature, he would definitely make her pay. She couldn’t afford it, and she didn’t want to provoke his volatile temper.
“You must wear it,” Yue Linze narrowed his eyes, “If I find you’ve removed it without permission, you’ll face the consequences.
……Well, he has been unreasonable for not just a day or two, so getting used to it is the way to go. Tao Yu looked at him helplessly: “I understand, Mr. Yue.”
Yue Linze glanced at her and then lowered his head to continue reading his book, just as she had seen when she first arrived. If it weren’t for the brooch sitting nicely on her chest, she would have thought everything that just happened was just an illusion.
