Chapter 010 Helping you put it on
Second floor of the shopping mall.
The corridor of the rest area.
Wen Ning held the exquisite paper bag with the gold-stamped logo in her hand, feeling her palms sweating.
This is hardly a gift.
This is clearly a hot potato.
Fifty-eight thousand.
This is an absolute fortune for a college student who hasn't even graduated yet.
Even if he said it was a bonus.
But the bonus didn't come out of thin air; it was earned through countless sleepless nights coding.
Wen Ning felt increasingly guilty.
The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel.
She secretly took out her phone, opened Alipay, and prepared to transfer money.
"that……"
She stopped and tugged at Jiang Ci's sleeve.
The voice was soft and tentative:
"Jiang Ci, actually I don't like this that much... It's too expensive."
"How about... I transfer the money to you? Consider it as if I bought it myself."
Jiang Ci is walking forward.
Upon hearing this, he abruptly stopped in his tracks.
He turned around.
My gaze fell on her hand holding the phone.
The screen displays the transfer interface, and the amount has already been entered.
His eyes instantly darkened.
The nonchalant gentleness I had just felt in the store had vanished.
Instead, there is a sense of oppression that is incomprehensible to most people.
"Transfer it to me?"
He repeated it.
A faint, cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Wen Ning, do you really want to be so calculating with me?"
Wen Ning was startled by his gaze.
"No...that's not what I meant..."
She just didn't want to owe him too much.
After all, we're going to break up eventually.
How can you be hard-hearted when breaking up with someone who owes you money?
"Take it back."
Jiang Ci's voice turned colder.
"There's no reason for me to take back money for what I've given away."
"If you dare to turn this upside down, I'll throw this thing off the building right now."
Wen Ning: "..."
She glanced at the smooth marble floor of the lobby downstairs.
Fifty-eight thousand, just to hear a sound?
What a spendthrift!
Seeing that she didn't move.
Jiang Ci seemed to have lost his patience as well.
He reached out and snatched the delicate paper bag from her hand.
"come over."
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to a floor-to-ceiling window at the corner of the mall.
There are few people here.
The light streamed in through the glass, making it a little dazzling.
Jiang Ci placed the paper bag on the windowsill.
Her slender fingers deftly untied the ribbon and opened the box.
The ruby necklace lay quietly in the black velvet, gleaming with an alluring light.
"Turn around."
He commanded.
Wen Ning was taken aback: "What?"
"Let me put it on you."
Jiang Ci took out the necklace and held it in his hand.
"Since you bought it, why hide it?"
Wen Ning had no choice but to obediently turn around and face away from him.
Today she wore a square-neck white top, revealing a large expanse of her back and slender neck.
Jiang Ci took a step forward.
The distance between the two instantly closed.
Wen Ning was so close that she could feel his warm breath spraying onto the back of her neck.
It's a little itchy.
Wen Ning shrank his neck.
"Don't move."
Jiang Ci said in a low voice.
A hand lifted her long hair.
My cool fingertips accidentally touched the skin on the back of her neck.
Wen Ning felt as if he had been electrocuted, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
The cold metal chain of the necklace pressed against my skin.
It was quickly warmed up by body heat.
Jiang Ci lowered his head and focused intently on fastening the tiny clasp.
His movements were slow.
Her breath was right next to her ear.
This posture looks just like a hug from behind.
Wen Ning didn't dare to breathe.
My heart was pounding like a drum.
"Click".
A soft sound.
It's fastened.
The ruby rested perfectly in the hollow of her delicate collarbone.
It made the skin there appear even whiter and more radiant.
Like a cinnabar mole.
Jiang Ci did not retreat immediately.
His hand slid down her neck and smoothed her hair.
then.
Just as Wen Ning thought it was over and was about to turn around...
His fingers suddenly stopped.
It stopped beside her ear.
Wen Ning's ears are very sensitive.
They are now completely red, like ripe cherries.
Jiang Ci looked at the bright red ear.
His eyes darkened.
As if possessed, he stretched out his thumb and forefinger and gently pinched that soft earlobe.
I pinched it.
Wen Ning trembled all over.
It felt like something had burned my soul.
"Jiang, Jiang Ci..."
"very beautiful."
His voice rang in my ears.
Low and hoarse.
It carries a hint of ambiguity that is hard to define.
"Just tell me what you want in the future."
"I don't need that little bit of money."
He paused, then added, his tone casual yet undeniably authoritative:
"It's not like we're short of money to support you."
The temperature of the fingertips recedes.
That tingling sensation traveled along the nerve endings and into my heart.
Wen Ning suddenly turned around.
Leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, she looked at the man in front of her with a hint of panic.
The sunlight shone behind him, giving him a golden edge.
But the way he looked at her was more intense than the sunlight.
His gaze swept over the ruby on her chest, finally settling on her flustered eyes.
Wen Ning subconsciously raised her hand and covered her burning ears.
My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my throat.
This moment.
Looking at the man in front of her, exuding an aura of power and even a touch of aggression.
Wen Ning's mind was a complete mess.
Who said he was a poor student?
Who said he's still struggling in the early stages of starting a business?
This was hardly the poor boy she needed to "dislike".
This is clearly the kind of boyfriend who's waiting to spoil her rotten and then asking her if it's enough!
【drop--】
The system's voice echoed softly in my mind.
It carried a hint of despair and helplessness.
[Host... I don't mean to discourage you.]
But according to the tests... the male lead seems to... love her even more.
The plot seems to have really fallen apart.
Wen Ning wanted to cry but had no tears.
She glanced down at the dazzling red gem on her chest.
I just felt that this thing was heavier.
It was like a shackle that kept her firmly by his side.
