CHAPTER 631: CHAPTER 630: WEI XUEQING’S GIFT (+4)

A subordinate walked up to Bai Zhuang and whispered, "Boss, are we just letting them go like this?"

Bai Zhuang snorted coldly and said, "Follow me back!"

This is a gambling den, with his guests everywhere. If he refuses to pay here, how will he do business in the future?

Bai Zhuang is no fool!

Immediately, Bai Zhuang led his men to the office.

As soon as he entered the room, Bai Zhuang angrily cursed.

"Damn it! How dare they win my money!" Bai Zhuang cursed angrily.

After a round of venting, Bai Zhuang stopped and looked at a few of his subordinates, "Do you think this guy is just lucky or does he have real skill?"

The few people exchanged glances and said, "Luck! I think it’s luck!"

"I also think it’s luck!"

"It must be luck!"

The few people said one after another.

"Luck, huh?" Bai Zhuang snorted, rubbing the amber in his hand, "I refuse to believe he can always be this lucky!"

"You all, come here!" Bai Zhuang gestured to a few of them.

The few people understood immediately and hurried over, lowering themselves.

Bai Zhuang whispered to them, "Tonight, you guys bring..."

...

Chen Xiaohuo was so excited that he was dancing with joy.

He had never won so exhilaratingly before.

"Chen Xiaohuo!" Yang Chen called out.

"Huh?" Chen Xiaohuo turned his head.

Yang Chen tossed the keys in his hand over to him, "You drive this car."

Chen Xiaohuo caught the keys, overjoyed, "Really? A Navigator!"

This is a top-of-the-line full-size luxury car!

With the keys in hand, Chen Xiaohuo excitedly went to drive the car.

Yang Chen glanced at the gambling den behind, then left with a few people.

Back at the hotel, Yang Chen instructed them to bring the pieces of Water Jade and the rhombus-shaped jade to his bedroom.

Once Sun Yue had everything settled, she went straight to bed.

Gao Hong also said a word, following Sun Yue, getting friendly.

Yang Chen looked at the two people standing in his room and asked, "Do you two have anything else?"

Chen Siyan shook her head and looked at Wei Xueqing, waiting for her.

Wei Xueqing also shook her head and, taking Chen Siyan by the hand, left the room.

After they left, Yang Chen sat on the bed and carefully examined the pieces of jade.

He had searched the whole venue for jade and only found the aura in these three rough stones to be the most intense, making him feel a sense of longing.

That’s why Yang Chen chose these three stones.

The first one he picked up was a small round piece of Water Jade.

Yang Chen sensed it, and suddenly a dense energy flowed from the Water Jade into his hand.

"This is..." Yang Chen’s eyes widened.

Yang Chen could feel that the jade contained a very dense aura, exactly what he needed for his cultivation.

If he could absorb the energy from this jade, he felt his cultivation could rise a level!

Just as Yang Chen was about to give it a try, there was a knock on the door.

Only then did Yang Chen remember that he was sharing the room with Gao Hong; it wasn’t prudent to try it now, better wait and try later.

He got up to open the door.

Pulling open the door, Yang Chen was stunned to see it wasn’t Gao Hong at the door, but Wei Xueqing.

"Do you need something?" Yang Chen asked.

Wei Xueqing, with a faint blush on her cheeks, lowered her head and said, "Can I come in?"

"Of course!" Yang Chen said politely, "Please come in!"

It was very ungentlemanly to leave a lady standing outside.

Wei Xueqing walked in, glanced around the room to make sure no one else was there, then turned around and took a small gift box from behind her, handing it to Yang Chen.

Upon seeing the gift box, Yang Chen couldn’t help but frown. How could he not recognize that it was the same box from earlier today?

Yang Chen had avoided it at the time, not giving her the chance to present him with a gift, but he didn’t expect Wei Xueqing to bring it over in person tonight.

"What’s this?" Yang Chen asked.

Wei Xueqing handed it to Yang Chen and softly said, "Just open it and see."

Yang Chen frowned, thought for a moment, then took the gift box and opened it.

What caught his eye was a pendant.

Yang Chen immediately recognized it as an imitation glutinous rice ice pendant, which was essentially transparent glass!

Also, Yang Chen noticed that this pendant was clearly a match with the one Wei Xueqing was wearing around her neck!

This was a pair of Pisces pendants, which could be connected together, meant for couples to wear.

Looking at the pendant, Yang Chen felt discomfort in his heart, his sharp brows furrowed.

Yang Chen closed the lid and took a deep breath.

Seeing Yang Chen not take it out but instead close the box, the smile on Wei Xueqing’s face gradually disappeared, as she looked at him in confusion.

Yang Chen handed the box back to Wei Xueqing, "I can’t accept this."

"Don’t you like it? If you don’t, I can exchange it for something else. What style do you prefer? Classical or modern?" Wei Xueqing hurriedly said.

Looking at her like this, it seemed she was afraid Yang Chen would be upset and wouldn’t like or accept it.

Seeing Wei Xueqing like this, Yang Chen felt a pang of sadness.

He recalled what Sun Yue had said to him earlier today; sometimes it’s not that he doesn’t care for others, nor that if he doesn’t fall in love, others won’t too.

At this moment, Yang Chen could plainly see that Wei Xueqing might already... have feelings for him!

"It’s not that I don’t like it, or that I like it, it’s just that I can’t accept it." Yang Chen said solemnly.

"Why!" Wei Xueqing became anxious, "You’ve always worn the lucky bead Yanyan gave you."

Yang Chen took a deep breath and told Wei Xueqing, "Because the lucky bead Yanyan gave me is just a simple blessing."

"Mine is too!" Wei Xueqing’s eyes flickered.

Yang Chen looked directly at Wei Xueqing and said sternly, "Is it really? What about what’s around your neck? It’s obviously a pair with mine."

"No, you’re overthinking it." Wei Xueqing quickly explained, "I just thought they looked nice, so I bought a pair. If you don’t like it, I’ll return them."

Yang Chen shook his head, "Xueqing, this isn’t something that can be resolved by returning or exchanging jewelry. Haven’t you noticed you’ve already changed?"

"Huh?" Wei Xueqing seemed very flustered, like a little girl caught with her secret diary being read.

Yang Chen stared at Wei Xueqin, "Haven’t you noticed? You’ve completely changed. You’re no longer the independent and strong person you were. Back then, you were full of confidence, your steps were so assured, everyone had to give it their all just to keep up with you, not to be left behind. You were very assertive, every decision you made was insightful. Back then, you exuded a glow, like a sun influencing those around you, full of drive, full of energy!"

Listening to these words from Yang Chen, Wei Xueqing did not feel happy but instead became more anxious and uneasy.
