He responded enthusiastically, "Okay! Don't worry, beautiful, I'll make sure it looks beautiful on you!"
A short while later, the shop owner handed me the carefully packaged jade pendant.
After I took it, I walked towards Lin Zhibai without hesitation.
I gently handed him the wrapped gift box and said with a smile, "This is for you, to thank you for coming with me today."
Lin Zhibai was slightly taken aback, seemingly surprised. He opened his mouth and slowly began to say something.
Before he could finish speaking, I quickly added, "Don't overthink it, just consider it a little something to keep you safe and sound!"
Without saying a word, I shoved the jade pendant into his hand.
After taking the jade pendant, Lin Zhibai remained silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at me and asked, "Did you have a fight with Brother Qin?"
My heart skipped a beat, but I forced myself to remain calm and replied, "No, who would dare to argue with him!"

He reminded me coldly, "Keep your distance from Jin Buwei. Brother Qin is ruthless when it comes to women who cheat on him."
"Why do you say that..." I want to know how much he knows.
"After you came out of the restroom, Jin Buwei also came out. I don't believe it's such a coincidence." His tone remained cold.
I thought to myself: Thank goodness it wasn't the pool incident!
"There's nothing between him and me," I replied guiltily.
He gazed at me tenderly and said, "I hope you won't do anything to betray Brother Qin. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, tell me, and I can help you!" His tone was gentle.
