Li Qiao thought of what Li Yan had just said, and her heart felt a mix of emotions.
She could see that the jade bracelet was of exquisite quality and valuable, but she never imagined it cost Mo Jue a hundred million.
Li Yan knew because he had seen it at a jewelry exhibition once.
It’s said to be a top-grade erald unearthed after hundreds of years, and the price of a single jade bracelet deterred many people.
Li Yan, in Mo Jue’s na, generously gifted 2,500 iPads to the school, and in less than two hours, the entire school knew about it.
As for Wang Zixuan who falsely accused Mo Jue of theft, she was scared to tears without even needing the principal’s intervention, and confessed she secretly put the ga console in Mo Jue’s backpack.
Because the school heartthrob she liked wrote a love letter to Mo Jue.
Li Yan later learned the whole story from the principal and was so exasperated that he formally requested the principal to add a psychological guidance course to guide students with wayward inclinations.
The principal was bewildered, wondering what was wrong with liking Mu Jue?
Is it against rationality for people of the opposite sex to like each other?
Forget it, since you’re the sponsor, anything you say goes.
...
Approaching evening, Li Qiao returned to the Mansion and imdiately went into the lab.
She video called Su Moshi and transferred a batch of experintal drugs that enhance white blood cells and immune function from the dical Alliance’s research center, arranged her work, and began preparing for the trip to Scarlet City.
A day later, at eight in the morning, Li Qiao and Shang Yu walked downstairs side by side.
Perhaps because she was leaving for Scarlet City, the man’s handso face was stern from the mont he woke up, with his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Li Qiao sensed Shang Yu’s low mood and took his hand voluntarily. As they strolled, she reminded, "I’ll be back soon. I’ve already planned this week’s nu for you, don’t skip als."
The man pursed his lips, glanced at her, and said in a deep voice, "Okay."
Li Qiao’s brows relaxed into a smile. After thinking for a mont, she coaxed him, "When I return from Scarlet City, I likely won’t need to travel to Myanmar for business. Xi Luo can handle the work."
Shang Yu’s thin lips finally relaxed a bit, and his stern features softened. "Alright, give a call when you get to Scarlet City. If anything happens, let Bai Yan handle it and don’t intervene yourself."
"Okay, I’ll listen to you."
On the steps, the man stopped, looked down at Li Qiao’s delicate, fair face, his Adam’s apple moved as he wrapped his arm around her waist and drew her near.
The next second, he leaned down and captured her lips.
Li Qiao didn’t resist, tilting her head back to respond to his kiss.
The two kissed passionately in the middle of the stairs, watched by Liuyun and Luoyu, who were getting flustered.
They hadn’t intended to watch; they were just standing in the living room, waiting for Li Qiao to leave with them.
But the overwhelming display of affection hit them unprepared, as if carelessly tossed on their faces without concern.
Luoyu sighed heavily, turned his face to the distant mountains outside the window, and inexplicably felt like falling in love.
Liuyun licked his lips, wondering when he would fiercely pin a woman against the wall like that.
"Had enough of a show?"
Suddenly, a low and cold voice ca from the staircase.
Liuyun snapped back to reality and saw Shang Yu holding Li Qiao’s head against his chest, casting a stern look over.
Liuyun silently lowered his head, "Boss, please continue."
With that, he looped his arm around Luoyu’s shoulder and dragged him out.
True, public displays of affection might not cost anything, but experiencing them at the wrong ti could be deadly costly.
Five minutes later, with swollen lips and a conspicuous hickey on her neck, Li Qiao leisurely walked out of the Mansion...
