Chapter 808 Return it to him
When Nie Yao saw the self-deprecating smile on his face, her heart suddenly ached. The words of apology were almost on the tip of her tongue, but she forced herself to hold them back.
"Li Jinxing, that's just your wishful thinking. Why don't you think about it yourself? Are you making this choice to impress me or yourself?"
Nie Yao said these words forcefully, not knowing how much strength she mustered to keep her voice from trembling.
"One-sided wishful thinking..." Li Jinxing let out a low laugh. Finally, unable to control himself, he grabbed her wrist and pointed at her diamond ring, saying, "So your acceptance of my proposal was also the result of my one-sided wishful thinking?"
Nie Yao couldn't answer him. Looking at his regretful and disappointed eyes, she didn't even know if she could ever turn back from these hurtful words she had said!
Perhaps, he would really hate her for this, thinking that she was just like Nie Jinxi, a two-faced woman who would do anything to achieve her goals!
But when she thought of the mastermind behind the murders, who called himself the King of Hell, and who was hiding somewhere waiting for an opportunity to strike, she felt that she was right to drive him away!
If he blamed her, or even resented her, she wouldn't blame him. As long as he stayed away from here, away from danger, lived a good life, and didn't encounter an inexplicable accident like his parents, that would be enough...
"Li Jinxing, I've said everything I need to say. The engagement is just a temporary solution. Fortunately, your eldest brother only forced us to get engaged. There's no legal protection for an engagement, so it can be terminated at any time..."
Nie Yao said this, pushed away his grip on her wrist, slowly removed the engagement diamond ring from her finger, and handed it to him: "Now that the mission is completed, there's no use for this diamond ring. I'll give it back to you. I believe you can still use it in the future!"
Li Jinxing looked at her in disbelief. He originally thought that she was just forcing him to leave, so she said those hurtful words. However, he never expected that she actually wanted to cancel the engagement and return the ring to him!
The sky darkened, but the lights in the hotel room were still very bright. The huge pigeon egg diamond ring still shone brilliantly under the light, but at this moment it stung Li Jinxing's eyes!
He waved his hand and knocked away the diamond ring she handed him, his eyes full of anger.
"Nie Yao, my kindness to you, Li Jinxing, is not meant to be wasted like this!"
After he said this, his voice gradually turned cold.
"I thought you were different from Nie Jinxi, pure and kind-hearted, but I didn't expect you to put on such a show in front of me. It's really hard for you!"
Li Jinxing sneered and said through gritted teeth, "I don't think you're going to be an archaeologist anymore. You might as well be an actor!"
Nie Yao opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't say anything. At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Li Jinxing turned around angrily to open the door. Standing at the door was the waiter who came to serve dinner, and Nie Yao's junior Steve was following behind the waiter.
"Mr. Li, the dinner you ordered is here..." The waiter was suddenly shocked when he saw Li Jinxing's ugly face. He said something with a wry smile and turned to leave.
But Steve didn't notice Li Jinxing's expression. He walked in with a smile on his face, looking very happy.
