Chapter 716: Chapter 717: I lost a ruby bracelet, did you see it just now?
Gu Qichen’s heart was as if it had been stabbed.
In the end, she didn’t love him anymore.
She was pretty honest about it.
Even with a sincere look on her face.
Indeed, Gu Qichen didn’t know what Xia Yangyang had experienced in these four years.
But the men appearing by her side were either mysterious or outstanding.
Like Mr. Li, be it looks, temperament, or background.
Gu Qichen only felt that he wouldn’t lose to him.
If there were winners and losers in love, his chances of losing were considerable.
But Gu Qichen wouldn’t accept this.
Why was he the only one pathetically clinging on?
Xia Yangyang slowly withdrew her hand from Gu Qichen’s palm, “Now, I’m giving you the time to consider whether we’ll be friends or strangers. You don’t need to answer me now, but once you give me an answer, I will respect it.”
After saying this, Xia Yangyang turned around and walked into the house.
There wasn’t any heated argument between them this time.
But why did her heart still hurt so much?
Gu Qichen still stood at the door.
Xia Yangyang had given him two choices.
Yet, for him, both choices led to doom.
Should he really give up now?
Is there really no room left for reversal?
He had once put down his pride and everything else to hold on to this woman’s hand.
But in the end, she still chose to leave.
Gu Qichen was somewhat scared.
If he tried to forcefully hold on to her like before, it would only disgust her and make her flee further away.
Gu Qichen stood quietly, and when he lowered his head, he found a ruby bracelet in his palm.
It must have fallen off Xia Yangyang’s hand when he grabbed her a bit too hard earlier.
He recognized this bracelet.
It was the royal jewelry “Desert Rose” that was publicly auctioned in South Africa.
The jewelry symbolizes love that guards till death.
At that time, a mysterious rich man bought the jewelry set for 90 million US dollars.
It was quite a sensation at the time.
But Gu Qichen didn’t expect that in just a few months, it would appear on Xia Yangyang.
The person who bought this jewelry set must be that Mr. Li.
And he had actually given such a precious piece of jewelry to Xia Yangyang.
It didn’t make sense if it wasn’t for love.
Just thinking about this made Gu Qichen feel as if his heart was being sliced open.
He clenched his fingers and finally put the ruby bracelet in his coat pocket.
After Xia Yangyang entered the house, she suddenly sensed something was wrong.
Xia Yangyang raised her hand and suddenly realized that the ruby bracelet she was wearing was gone.
Xia Yangyang felt a shock in her heart.
Although Xia Yangyang never asked Li Zhiqian the origin and value of the jewelry.
But Xia Yangyang could guess that this set of jewelry must be incredibly valuable.
Moreover, it was the wedding gift that Li Zhiqian giving to Phoenix, she was just borrowing it for today.
If she really lost such an expensive gift, Xia Yangyang really didn’t know how she would compensate.
Xia Yangyang turned around and went back out through the glass door.
Gu Qichen’s figure was still standing there, apparently lost in thought.
Xia Yangyang didn’t care about anything else right now.
She just started looking around in the vicinity.
Xia Yangyang remembered that when she came out, the bracelet was still safely on her hand.
But why was it gone all of a sudden.
It must have fallen off when she was interacting with Gu Qichen earlier.
Xia Yangyang searched the area but didn’t see the bracelet.
Gu Qichen just stood there, watching Xia Yangyang search.
Xia Yangyang had no choice but to start a conversation with Gu Qichen
