Chapter 52 The Necklace Thief



He quickly smiled and nodded, "Okay, don't worry, take your time to write." Anyway, he would not leave today.

Then he looked at her back and the smile on his face deepened.

But the next second, she heard a scream coming from Lin Qiaoxin's room, and she quickly rushed out of the kitchen and ran over, "What happened?"

Only when she saw him come in did Lin Qiaoxin come to her senses and quickly put the box on the table away.

But then she thought again, doing this would clearly show that she was guilty, and she hadn't done anything wrong.

So he thought about it and put the box back on the table, a trace of embarrassment flashing across his face.

Just as he was thinking about how to explain, Zhou Chaofa took a curious look at the box and said, "Well, I'm going out first. Call me if you need anything."

The moment he turned around, Lin Qiaoxin got anxious and called out to him, "Um, something's wrong!"

"My necklace is missing, but I clearly put it in this box. How could it be gone?"

He turned around and looked at her, a hint of doubt in his eyes. He frowned and asked, "The necklace is missing? What kind of necklace is it? Is it important?"

Lin Qiaoxin anxiously searched around and said, "It's a silver necklace. Actually, Xu Ziming gave it to me."

"It's not very important, but it can't be stolen."

When I heard the first sentence, I raised my eyebrows and felt very unhappy, but when I heard her second sentence, I felt a little better.

"Well, if it's today, I don't think it's likely to be an outside thief. We've been here the whole time, and if someone else came, they would definitely find us."

"Think carefully, has anyone come here today?"

Lin Qiaoxin tilted her head and thought carefully, then finally shook her head.

"No, I've been at home the whole time and no one has come. Even if someone came, they would have gone into the main room and never into my room."

This is so strange. How could something that was placed there just disappear?

At this time, Zhou Chaofa had a guess in his mind, but he didn't know whether he should say it.

Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, Lin Qiaoxin thought of something.

So she immediately shook her head and rejected his idea, saying firmly, "Impossible. I know my own sisters well. They would never take my things casually."

"And I can take anything except this."

Hearing her say this, Zhou Chaofa couldn't help but ask, "Why not? Is it because it's very valuable?"

Thinking of this, he snorted disdainfully in his heart. It's just a silver necklace. What's so great about it? He could give it to her too.

He didn't give it to her before because he was afraid that she would be angry. Now he has decided to buy it when he goes to the city this time and buy the best looking one for her.

I turned my head and glanced at him, knowing that he must be overthinking it again.

"It's not because of that, but I was planning to return it to Xu Ziming, so they definitely wouldn't take it, and I absolutely trust my sister."

In an instant, Zhou Chaofa couldn't help but feel a surge of joy and relief in his heart.

However, he tried hard to suppress the urge to curl the corners of his mouth, raised his hand to his chin and coughed lightly.

"That's not what I meant. I meant that kids love to play with it, so maybe they just took it and played with it. It's not a big deal, it's normal."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "But if you're sure it's not you, then it must be someone else. However, I still think it must be someone close to you."

Lin Qiaoxin stood there expressionlessly, lowering her eyes. After a moment, she suddenly sneered, "Okay, no need to look for it anymore. I think I can guess who it is."

"I guessed it, who is it?" Zhou Chaofa couldn't help but feel curious.

But he quickly realized that this was her private matter and it would be inappropriate for him to ask.

So he quickly shook his head and said, "Haha, it's good that you can guess who it is. I'll go to the kitchen first." After saying that, he quickly turned around and left.

Lin Qiaoxin had no choice but to tidy up the things in the room first.

When Zhou Chaofa returned to the kitchen, he had already kneaded the dough.

Seeing her unhappy expression, I didn't know what to say to comfort her for a moment, so I just laughed twice, "Well, can you teach me how to do this next step? I can't just knead the dough all the time, right?"

Seeing the silly smile on his face makes me feel better for some reason.

As expected, as long as a person is handsome, he will look good even when he smiles foolishly.

He nodded slightly, "Okay, since you want to learn, I'll teach you how to do it."

As she was teaching him how to do it, she sighed and slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken, the person who took my necklace should be my dad."

Zhou Chao was stunned, not expecting it to be her father.

He also knew that Lin Sanzhi had a bad reputation, but he didn't expect that he would take his daughter's things. He stretched out a finger to tidy up the loose hair on his forehead.

"Maybe it's a misunderstanding, and there's no use for him to take your necklace."

"Of course it's useless. Now I don't give him money, so he will be very happy even if the necklace is sold for a dozen or dozens of dollars." However, if you ask him directly about this, he will definitely not admit it easily.

I feel suffocated just thinking about it. The saying "No matter how careful you are, you can never guard against a thief in your own home" is absolutely true.

Seeing that the dough in her hand had been kneaded into shapeless pieces, he quickly comforted her, "Qiaoxin, don't be angry. It might really be just a misunderstanding. Just keep the things away from now on."

After all, he is his own father and there is nothing he can do to him. He can only put the things away from now on.

She curled her lips slightly, not wanting him to see her angry look, so she nodded helplessly, "Yeah, I understand."
