Chapter 105: Just Love to Pretend
After listening to Qin Qinsen's explanation, not only Shangguan Yue was shocked, but even Teng Su was stunned.
Because he was very familiar with that bracelet.
It was Shangguan Yue's favorite piece of jewelry in her previous life. She never took it off, even when eating or sleeping. It was like it was growing on her wrist, and she treasured it very much. Teng Su once mocked her, saying that she didn't know how to change her jewelry and never got tired of wearing the same necklace every day.
At that time, Shangguan Yue immediately retorted loudly, with an attitude that was rare in its irritability and anger.
Now it seems that this bracelet is very evil. And Qin Qinsen said that it can lock the yin... So, could his experience in his previous life be related to this bracelet?
Holding Qin Qinsen in his arms, Teng Su turned around and asked in a low voice, "Can the bracelet bind the soul?"
Hearing this, the man who had been overjoyed at having found something rare suddenly calmed down. His fingers kept groping on the bracelet, and he actually felt a series of bumps on the platinum chain.
He gave Teng Su a look, indicating that they should go back and talk about it, and the two of them sat down again as if nothing had happened.
"Don't worry, I didn't wear it for long, so the impact won't be significant. It'll just get rid of the bad luck. Was it a gift from Luo Nanchen? Custom-made?"
Qin Qinsen asked casually after taking a sip of coffee.
Shangguan Yue nodded at the white porcelain plate that had just been placed on the table, staring at it intently, as if digesting what Qin Qinsen had just said.
Shangguan Yue didn't come back to her senses until Yun Yao reminded her. The experience of this day and night completely overturned her cognition. Her mind was in a mess and she could only smile bitterly, "I don't know."
Then, he started to ramble on as if to vent his anger.
"I don't know what he sees in me, but he's been hounding me ever since you left. He's always asking me to accompany him to various banquets and events. At first, he just said the company had clothing allowances, so I could wear whatever I wanted. But in the last two months, he's suddenly started paying out of his own pocket, buying dresses on the spot after trying them on, and even matching jewelry. I've tried everything to turn them down, but the only thing I've offered is this bracelet."
Looking at the platinum chain in Qin Qinsen's hand, Shangguan Yue continued, "It was given to me on my birthday at the beginning of the month. Luo... Luo Nanchen said it was designed by the studio run by his cousin. It's a niche style and not expensive, so he told me to keep it with confidence."
"Luo Nanchen doesn't have a cousin." Teng Su said coldly, "The Luo family is very small. In his generation, there is only Luo Nanchen."
So no matter whether it is good or bad, just push the person up to take up a senior management position.
"No?"
Shangguan Yue's lips trembled, and she stroked her forehead, "Am I really stupid?"
It's not your first day in society, so how can you be easily shaken by other people's kindness?
Unexpectedly, the one who spoke to comfort him was not the considerate Yun Yao, nor Qin Qinsen and Fang Nanxing who tried to smooth things over, but Teng Su.
"Luo Nanchen plays with people's hearts. Although he is very stupid in big things, he is very good at controlling women's minds." Teng Su turned the turntable and placed a plate of blueberry yam in front of Shangguan Yue.
"Eat something sweet and comfort yourself." Qin Qinsen added at the right time, "Don't be too hard on yourself. People like Luo Nanchen are the best at disguising themselves. Otherwise, how could he move freely among so many beautiful women? He really cares about you. He didn't play the money-spending game directly. Instead, he boiled you like a frog in warm water, letting you get used to it slowly."
"If he hadn't used such sinister tactics, anyone who saw it would have said that he might have found true love."
In front of Shangguan Yue, Qin Qinsen wrapped the bracelet with talisman paper and said, "I have to take the bracelet back to modify it. Let's eat first. After that, I will remove the evil spirit from you and restore your health."
"Yes, don't be sad, little sister. Although I don't know what happened to you, as long as Brother Qin is here, it will definitely be resolved." Fang Nanxing firmly believes that no matter how sad you are, as long as there is delicious food, you can get through it. "Come and try this abalone. I stewed it for six hours. It's soft, glutinous, salty and fragrant. It's absolutely delicious."
"Thanks."
"And this one, Bi Tian Lian Ye, my own creation..."
Watching Fang Nanxing introducing things foolishly, Shangguan Yue's originally heavy thoughts were diverted by him. Qin Qinsen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that letting Fang Nanxing join the dinner was the right choice.
I was sipping my coffee, and when I felt something hot beside my ear, I leaned over to the side and asked, "What's wrong?"
"If you hadn't noticed the problem with the bracelet, would she have?"
Qin Qinsen nodded silently, affirming the answer. If Shangguan Yue continued to wear the bracelet, she would naturally be affected by the curse, deviating from her original intentions and becoming the naive, innocent girl in the original book. Her mind was filled with so-called true love, constantly playing chase with the overbearing CEO.
Teng Su concealed the coldness in his eyes and took the coffee. "Don't drink it, eat the food."
Lunch was spent with Fang Nanxing's deliberate antics and Yun Yao's constant feeding, and Shangguan Yue's originally depressed mood finally recovered a little. The three of them exchanged contact information and even created a group, adding Teng Su.
“Tsk.”
Hearing someone's dissatisfied voice, Qin Qinsen laughed and said, "Please be down-to-earth, Mr. Teng. Your brothers and sisters are waiting for your protection."
"That's stupid."
Teng Su's words made Shangguan Yue, who was not familiar with him, pale. Before she could complain to herself in her heart, she heard Fang Nanxing smirking, "Hehehe, I found out, Mr. Teng is just pretending! He always says he dislikes me, but every time there is a problem, he is the first to help."
"Yueyue, let me tell you, the last time I encountered a female ghost demanding my life, President Teng was busy helping me find a place to catch the ghost and investigating the background of the charlatan scammer. But he always had this expression on his face. That's right! Look at his expression now, that's it!"
Yun Yao nodded beside him. "Don't think that I have a place to study and live now. It's all thanks to the help of President Teng and Brother Qin. Otherwise, I don't know where I would be serving dishes. So, there's no need to be afraid of him. Even if he really gets angry, I still have Brother Qin."
Teng Su sneered and his face darkened. “If Qinsen’s career hadn’t just started, who would care about you?”
"So you still care." Qin Qinsen used the excuse on him and bumped his shoulder lightly. "What's the difference between you and Er Teng?"
Shangguan Yue finally chuckled, and tears began to fall as she laughed.
Ever since she fled the village in a panic at the age of 20, she has never felt the relaxation and happiness of being surrounded by friends again.
She was like a frightened bird, resisting everyone's approach. Gradually, there was no one around her to talk to, let alone a friend to confide in when she encountered troubles.
Five years have passed, and it feels so good to be back in the crowd.
Yun Yao held her arm, Fang Nanxing was giggling, even Qin Qinsen, who always had a customary smile on his face, was teasing Teng Su, and Teng Su——
"Don't listen to their nonsense. If you have something to say, just tell me. It's not the first time I've had to clean up a mess."
Shangguan Yue just thought that this referred to everyone present, nodded embarrassedly, and as if she had thought of something, asked Qin Qinsen a question.
"Since Luo's company has problems, does that mean I can just resign and be fine?"
