Chapter 40: Chapter 40: You’re Mine, Don’t Think of Running

Zhuge Xian vowed solemnly!

However, there was fear and scruples in the depths of Zhuge Xian’s eyes when he was staring at the Blood Spirit Jade.

Gong Siyu felt that there was something fishy about it.

However, the old man Zhuge Xian said that it could definitely make Ji Younai stop seeing ghosts, so he didn’t ask any more questions.

He immediately asked Zhuge Xian to personally punch two tiny holes in the two pieces of jade.

He snatched away the lamb fat jade bead necklace that Zhuge Xian was wearing.

He then draped the two pieces of jade over the center of the lamb fat jade bead necklace, embellished it with purple tourmaline, turning it into a beautiful pendant. He then hung it around Ji Younai’s neck.

“Young Master, I added a peony flower carved from purple tourmaline between the two pieces of jade. This little trinket was meant to be a gift for my young wife, but now that I look at it, it’s more suitable for this girl.”

Gong Siyu took a look at the beautiful spiritual jade hanging from Ji Younai’s fair and slender swanlike neck.

Nodding in admiration and approval, his thin lips curved into a smile that was full of satisfaction.

“Zhuge Xian, you’re quite good at knowing what to do.”

After he finished speaking, he tossed another empty check that had been crumpled into a ball, at Zhuge Xian.

“Fill it in yourself. It’s up to you to add as many zeros as you wish.”

Seeing how generous the “God Of Fortune” Gong Siyu was, Zhuge Xian almost burst into tears.

He liked money very much, and he would respect anyone who gave him endless wealth like an ancestor.

After accepting two checks, Zhuge Xian grinned widely for a long time. He then seemed to have thought about something important and pulled Ji Younai over to whisper something to her while Gong Siyu was admiring the treasures in the room.

He seemed to be guilty.

“Girl…”

“Yes?” Ji Younai asked, stunned and apprehensive.

“As I said before, this pair of jade is a treasure that’s extremely spiritual but also evil. However, they’ll definitely keep those child ghosts away from you! Don’t worry!”

Ji Younai nodded and accepted the valuables. Somewhat shy, she said lightly, “Thank you then, old psychic.”

Not only was Zhuge Xian not infuriated to be called an old psychic, he even carefully instructed her about the Blood Spirit Jade hanging in front of her chest.

He seemed to want to speak but stopped himself and began hemming and hawing.

“Uh… Miss, I mean, the ordinary ghosts will stay far, far away from you, and they won’t scare you! But, you must remember not to throw away my thousand-year-old sandalwood box. You must place the pair of jades back into the box before midnight every night, understand?”

“Why?”

Zhuge Xian panicked and did not state the reason. He merely stomped his feet and exclaimed, “Just do what I tell you to!”

“Oh okay…”

She didn’t take it seriously.

Ji Younai thought that the jade pieces were treasures.

She thought that they might have to absorb the essence of heaven and earth at night and were just precious, so she agreed.

He felt that Ji Younai was silly and beautiful. She was not too scheming.

Zhuge Xian sighed leisurely and gave her another reminder.

“And, girl, I just told you, you need to stay away from Young Master Gong, understand? Otherwise, you’ll bring bad luck to him. A noble family like the Gong Family has always been particular about Fengshui and destiny. Besides, he is the most valued junior of the Gong Family, you really don’t want to harm him and end up suffering yourself.”

The dull ache in her chest, which felt like ants were devouring her bit by bit, came back again.

Zhuge Xian’s repeated reminders made Ji Younai understand one thing.

She couldn’t remain by Gong Siyu’s side any longer.

She would harm him.

She was full of fog, and there were a lot of secrets about her.

However, Gong Siyu was different from her. He was a normal person.

People like her were seen as ominous in the eyes of others, and she couldn’t continue to stay with him.

She looked down with a dim gaze for a long time before raising her head again.

There was a mole at the edge of her eye, which made Ji Younai’s eyes seem sultry and melancholic.

“Okay, I know, I’ll remember your words, and I won’t harm him, okay?”

Zhuge Xian suddenly realized that Ji Younai was extremely obedient.

Suddenly realizing that he was being a little cruel, his heart turned a little softer, and he became much more generous.

“Ah! Um… look around my underground treasure room and see if there are any treasures that you like. If you find any, just take it. Regard it as a gift from me to you for fun.”

At the instant that Zhuge Xian finished speaking, Gong Siyu coincidentally returned to Ji Younai’s side.

He reached his arm out and put it around Ji Younai’s slender waist, holding her in his embrace.

“What were you talking about? You were being so secretive and mysterious.”

As if she had nothing to do with it, Ji Younai smiled and raised her head, making the melancholy in her eyes disappear. “The old psychic said that I can take away a treasure that I like here. Gong Siyu, let’s pick one out together, okay?”

“One is not enough. Take a few more. If you still want more, we’ll take everything away.”

He was looking at her indulgently and pampering her to bits.

Zhuge Xian almost got a heart attack!

Watching fearfully and dreadfully as Gong Siyu led Ji Younai to the room to pick out treasures, he felt an urge to faint.

“Forget it, let’s not take someone else’s cherished items. We shall not be greedy. I’ll just take one piece. Look, the old psychic is about to cry.”

Ji Younai’s beautiful eyes glowed, and she stole a glance at Zhuge Xian smilingly to speak up for him.

“Alright, you call the shots.”

Soon after, Zhuge Xian watched bitterly as Gong Siyu’s convoy of luxury cars drove away.

‘The gold Nine Dragons Soaring Cloud White Jade Ring that was used by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, is a one and only unique item!’

‘It is invaluable!’

‘Hah!’

‘Has that girl’s eye been consecrated?’

‘What’s all this talk about not taking someone else’s cherished item!?!’

‘She still took my cherished treasure!’

He had just received it from a collector overseas, and he hadn’t even had time to put it on his finger yet!

During the journey back to the city area of Beijing, Ji Younai chuckled continuously as a wavy strand of hair fell from her forehead mischievously, making her look even more beautiful, exquisite, and pleasant.

She gently pinched Gong Siyu’s nice-looking thumb and placed the white jade ring that was in the brocade box on his thumb.

Her almond-shaped eyes curved up and glistened like stars.

“Great! It suits you so well.”

Resting her face in one chin, she gazed at Gong Siyu’s thumb with watery eyes and muttered softly, “Gong Siyu, this is for you. The old psychic seemed to have a huge heartache. This thing is probably very precious, don’t ever take it down.”

He felt a sudden warmth in his heart and Gong Siyu leaned in, raising her chin with his finger.

He smiled with a devilish charm and a gentle gaze. He said in a slightly low voice, “No, I definitely won’t take it off.”

She stared at Gong Siyu’s handsome face with her beautiful, watery eyes.

She seemed to want to engrave his enchanting face in her heart.

“You’re not allowed to remove it even if I’m no longer by your side one day.”

Widening his eyes a little, he raised Ji Younai’s chin gently with his finger.

Gong Siyu pressed his hand on the back of her head, making her bright and full forehead press against hers.

“There definitely won’t be such a day. I’ll take you with me, wherever I go.”

Forcing a smile on her face Ji Younai shook her head without answering.

Seeing that Ji Younai’s reaction was a bit unusual, the tension in Gong Siyu’s eyes increased.

“I won’t let you run around either, understand?”

“Why?”

“Do you want to treat me well just because I saved you?”

Ji Younai asked carefully while blinking her beautiful eyes.

Gong Siyu did not answer directly and instead sat gracefully.

With a mysterious and evil smile, he said tyrannically with some intensity, “Ji Younai, just remember, don’t think of trying such tricks. Even if I, Gong Siyu, flee to the ends of the earth, I’ll have ten thousand ways to get you back because I’ve got my eyes on you.”

“…”

‘Wait, he’s got my eyes on me?’

‘Who?’

‘Me?’

‘Does it mean… that he likes me?’

‘Does Gong Siyu like me?’

‘Umm…. why am I feeling happy about this?’
