C72 A Purple Gemstone Ring

Xiao Qinghan reached out and patted her back, frowning slightly as he scolded her, "No one is fighting with you for it, so why are you in such a hurry?"

He poured a glass of water and placed it next to Ling Muxue's mouth. He drank a few mouthfuls, took a few breaths to calm himself down, and then continued to eat.

The two maids who stood at the side seemed to have seen a miracle in the world. Even though they were shocked, they did not dare to say a word.

After the meal, Ling Muxue felt that her strength had recovered quite a bit.

The night covered the earth, and the stars flowed quietly in the sky, and the soft moonlight dyed the earth with silver, symphoning the endless sky, and the endless sea shimmered with specks of light, and the sea breeze played its quiet chapters.

On the red and gold border of the retro palace seat, Xiao Qinghan forced Ling Muxue onto his lap and restrained her, even though she was 1.75 meters tall and looked so petite in his arms.

He rested his other hand on the arm, his fingers on his chin, his dark, cold eyes twinkling with stars. Where was he looking?

From where Ling Muxue stood, the perfect side profile was like a face that had been carefully carved by God. The thin lips under the high nose were pursed into a straight line without any curve, thin and cold and exuded the aura of an emperor.

Ling Muxue felt indignant in her heart. God was really unfair. Why did a demon like him not only have power and status, but also such a shocking appearance? She really didn't know if he had saved the earth or outer space in his previous life.

What did he mean by holding her now? Was he going to keep her here? If she continued to stay, what would Yiyue do? What would her mother do?

But if this devil didn't let her go, how was she going to get out? If she begged him humbly, all she got in return was mockery and humiliation. She had thought about not arguing with him, not angering him, but every time she faced him, she couldn't control her own emotions, and in the end she was always the one to suffer.

The only thing she could do now was to beg him.

How ironic. She would never have any choice in the path she wanted to walk.

"Xiao Qinghan!" She lowered her eyes and whispered.

Xiao Qinghan turned his eyes to look at her and his gaze fell on her slightly nervous face. "What's wrong?" His tone was very calm.

"Let me go back for the sake of the fact that we are still legally husband and wife!" she begged in a low voice. She had mustered up a lot of courage when she said this, and she still remembered that she had said in her anger that he was not worthy of being her husband and she did not look up at Xiao Qinghan.

There was a moment of silence, and then a deep, magnetic voice said, "I'll send you back in a minute!"

Ling Muxue raised her head and looked at him. She did not expect him to agree. She looked into his eyes and there was no anger, ridicule, coldness, or heartlessness in them. Instead, there was only calmness and indifference.

At that moment, Xiao Qinghan suddenly carried her up and placed her in front of the jade fence. Leaning against her, he hugged her waist with both hands and held her tightly in his arms, wrapping his tall body around her.

Ling Muxue was frozen in her arms. She was at a complete loss as to what to do. There was an intoxicating aura coming from his body. Leaning against him like this, Ling Muxue did not know what was going on with her. She did not reject this feeling from the bottom of her heart.

It was like being a happy couple, and if she hadn't known him, she would have thought that Xiao Qinghan was in love with her. Her rational thoughts told her that this was impossible, and that it would be best if he didn't fall in love with her.

So be it, she didn't want to argue or struggle, she was really tired and weak, and the strength of her dress was just to protect herself.

Just like that, she raised her eyes and looked at the distant sea that was flashing with starlight. Everything was so peaceful and quiet. In the end, Ling Muxue asked again for confirmation.

"Are you really going to let me return?"

Xiao Qinghan only nodded lightly.

"I hope you keep your word." He did not say anything else.

She didn't know how long she stood there, but Ling Muxue was really tired. She actually fell asleep in his arms.

Feeling the even breathing of the woman in his arms, Xiao Qinghan lowered his head and found that she had fallen asleep in her arms. His gaze fell on her fair and delicate face, and his red lips became deeper and deeper. It was a very strange and warm feeling, and she didn't know that when she said that they were legally husband and wife, although she knew that it was something she didn't want to say, there was still a trace of joy in her heart.

He'd fantasized so many times about standing here with her in his arms, and now it had come true, but he couldn't bring himself to be happy about it.

His eyes fell on her flat belly, and he put his hand on it through the fabric of his coat, feeling the warmth through his fingers, stimulating the nerves of his whole body, where they had borne their children, but...

His eyes narrowed, and the heartrending pain came again. He lowered his head to kiss her lips, and his body heated up instantly. He reached out and lifted her skirt, making her sensitive all over.

"Oh..." Ling Muxue felt her entire body heat up in an instant. She woke up in a daze, trembling all over. A great sense of emptiness enveloped her.

Before she could figure out what was going on, that feeling of emptiness was suddenly filled...

After who knew how long had passed, Ling Muxue woke up again and found that it was already daytime. She suddenly stood up and looked around. She suddenly had a feeling that she had returned from heaven to the mortal world. The main reason was that the visual impact of Xiao Qinghan's castle on her was too great.

She still remembered Xiao Qinghan talking to her on the balcony... But last night, she didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, she enjoyed it.

Ah!! She screamed in her heart and reached out to grab her hair. She was really crazy, crazy! Ling Muxue, have you forgotten how he humiliated you? You actually enjoyed the feeling that devil gave her. You are indeed a slut.

She flung back the covers and got out of bed, feeling no discomfort at all. She took a quick shower, put on her clothes, and looked at the clock on the wall. It was eight o'clock.

She had agreed to pay the money at nine o'clock with Mr. Tao, but now she did not have six million yuan. What should she do? What should she do?

He moved to sit at the dressing table, slowly pulled out the drawer, and his eyes fell on an intricately wrapped jewelry box. He reached out and took it out, slowly opening it.

It had been the engagement ring that Gu Shaochen had given her back then. It looked very ironic now, but she still kept it carefully because it was the only memento Gu Shaochen had left her.

The purple gemstone was designed by the parent-child supervisor when Gu Shaochen personally went to South Africa to select it. Every time she looked at it, Ling Muxue felt as if a pair of hands were squeezing her heart so hard that she couldn't breathe.

Back when the Ling family was in debt, she hesitated to appraise the stone. It was worth five hundred million yuan, but in the end, instead of selling it, she chose to sell herself.
