Chapter 693: I have never given Xi Xia a bracelet
He opened it and took a look. He didn’t know what it was, but it looked like a necklace or a bracelet.
As Lin Yiqian thought about it, she opened the box.”This bracelet …” She gasped when she saw the bracelet on the black velvet.
“Lin Yiqian!” Gu nianshen’s nervous voice could be heard from the door.
Feeling guilty, Lin Yiqian quickly closed the box.
She then raised her head to look at Gu nianshen.””I’ve sent you the pa.s.sword. You’re too late. ”
She stood up angrily and hid the hand holding the bracelet behind her leg.”If you don’t trust me that much, why did you call me in the first place?”
Gu nianshen s.h.i.+fted his gaze to her hand.
Noticing his gaze, Lin Yiqian angrily took out the box containing the bracelet.”It’s just a broken bracelet. Who would want to see it?”
Lin Yiqian pouted as she walked toward Gu nianshen and handed him the box.
“You … Don’t like it?” Gu nianshen’s lips sank in disappointment.
He slowly raised his hand and took the box. He lowered his head and pursed his lips bitterly.
“I’ve seen Xi Xia wear it before. It’s not that good. She’s not worthy of me.” Lin Yiqian continued to speak in a disdainful tone.
When Gu nianshen heard this, he raised his head to look at Lin Yiqian with a frown.”Xi Xia has worn it before?”
His reaction piqued Lin Yiqian’s curiosity.
What did he mean by that?
This was not Xi Xia’s bracelet? He didn’t give it to her?
“I’ve never given her a bracelet before.” Gu nianshen shook his head as Lin Yiqian continued to wonder.
He denied it with confidence, without any trace of lying.
Moreover, he had no reason to lie to her. Given his past with Xi Xia, it was only natural for him to give her a bracelet or something.
“Gu nianshen, what did you say?” Lin Yiqian’s eyes widened.
Back then, she had clearly heard him admit that he had bought the bracelet as a birthday gift for the person he liked, and Xi Xia had put it on not long after.
He was now saying that the bracelet on Xi Xia’s wrist was not a gift from him?
If he was not the one who gave it to her, why would Xi Xia tell her cla.s.smates that it was Gu nianshen’s birthday gift? Where did Xi Xia’s bracelet come from?
“I’ve never given Xi Xia a bracelet before. Do you hear me clearly this time?” Gu nianshen sounded a little angry when he saw the look of disbelief in Lin Yiqian’s eyes.
He was angry because she had sounded so nonchalant when she thought that he was the one who had given Xi Xia the bracelet.
He didn’t care at all.
That was why he felt that there was no need to explain some things. The people he cared about didn’t care, so there was no need for him to explain it to the world.
“Then why did you buy the bracelet?” Lin Yiqian suddenly shouted as tears began to well up in her eyes.
Did he know how much despair she had felt because of this bracelet?
Her aunt had become a stepmother, and her cousin had become her brother. She had been in despair in pain, and she had run to the Gu family’s house on impulse to find a glimmer of hope. It was this bracelet that had made her fall into despair once again, complete despair.
Lin Yiqian’s sudden outburst caught Gu nianshen off guard. He stared at Lin Yiqian in confusion and heartache.
She was puzzled by his sudden emotions and her heart ached for her red eyes.
Lin Yiqian looked into Gu nianshen’s eyes with tears in her eyes. She found her own emotions to be laughable.
She rubbed her eyes and smiled.
Her anger was laughable. Even if she had not seen Xi Xia wearing the bracelet, she would not have been able to do anything even if she had rushed in to find Gu nianshen.
