Lu Xiangtian looked into Zhao Youlin’s eyes, as if he had seen them somewhere before. His whole body suddenly trembled, and he actually took a step back. He sighed and said, “Ms. Zhao, you don’t have to do this. I… I have no malicious intent toward you and your family.”

Zhao Youlin could not help but laugh in the end. “Perhaps that’s what you think, but in fact, your actions have already brought me and my family a lot of unnecessary trouble.”

Lu Xiangtian was stunned. This was the first time in his life that someone had taken his goodwill as trouble. There was something in his heart that wanted to break out of the ground. He was disappointed, helpless, and melancholic about Zhao Youlin’s rejection, but he was not angry.

Seeing that Zhao Youlin had turned around and wanted to leave, Lu Xiangtian almost instinctively reached out and grabbed Zhao Youlin’s wrist, stopping her from leaving.

“Mr. Lu, is there anything else?” Zhao Youlin’s eyebrows were knitted together, and there was a hint of impatience on her face.

Lu Xiangtian naturally noticed this, so he did not beat around the bush. He smiled and said, “I just said that the necklace on Ms. Zhao’s neck is very beautiful. I wonder if Ms. Zhao can part with it and sell it to me?”

Lu Xiangtian’s words were like poking a hornet’s nest. Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment because of his request, but she quickly reacted. Immediately, the surprise in her heart was replaced by surging anger.

“Necklace? Ha, I didn’t expect that Mr. Lu would actually like such a feminine thing. If this gets out, I’m afraid it will be a joke.”

Lu Xiangtian also heard Zhao Youlin’s unkind tone. His expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered. He smiled and said, “I just feel that this necklace is very similar to an old friend’s item, and that old friend has unfortunately passed away, so…”

“So you plan to buy this necklace from me to remember your old friend?” Zhao Youlin interrupted Lu Xiangtian’s words and said with a chuckle, “In that case, you are truly a person who values friendship and loyalty, but…”

Zhao Youlin’s eyes suddenly turned cold. She looked at Lu Xiangtian coldly. “Mr. Lu, when you are troubled by certain feelings, do also consider the feelings of others. Of course, a man of your standing rarely has been confronted with such truths. However, I will say this much. This necklace means a lot to me, so I don’t plan to sell it. It used to be, is now, and will be in the future. Mr. Lu, please give up on this idea.”

Lu Xiangtian’s face darkened slightly. Before he could say anything, Zhao Youlin had already turned around and left with a cold expression.

Lu Xiangtian stood where he was and looked at Zhao Youlin’s receding figure. His expression only turned uglier and uglier.

At this moment, Zhao Youlin did not care about what Lu Xiangtian thought. She was still holding a grudge in her heart.

Damn it. He immediately asked her for the necklace around her neck. Who did he think he was? Did he think that just because he was an underworld lord, everyone had to be afraid of Him? Did he think that everyone had to worship him like their ancestors? Did he have to be the master of everything? Shunrong was the only one who was afraid of him?

Ptui, if this had happened in her previous life, they would have been sworn enemies. It would have been good enough if she did not beat him up. How could she be afraid of him?!

Zhao Youlin had shown absolutely no mercy this time.

Su Ruixin and the others were already worried about Zhao Youlin. Now that they saw Zhao Youlin walking back with an ugly look on her face, their hearts skipped a beat.

“Youlin, you…”

Before Su Ruixin could finish her sentence, Zhao Youlin interrupted her. “Mom, I’m not feeling well. I’ll go upstairs first. Please help me entertain the guests.”

Su Ruixin was stunned by Zhao Youlin’s words. She nodded and said, “If you’re not feeling well, then go upstairs and rest. You don’t have to worry about that. I’m here.”

Su Ruixin gave Mu Tingfeng a look as she spoke. Mu Tingfeng understood. In fact, he would have done the same, even if Su Ruixin had not said anything.

Mu Tingfeng walked to Zhao Youlin’s side and looked at her worriedly. He said in a low voice, “I’ll accompany you upstairs.”

Zhao Youlin nodded and bowed apologetically to Su He and the other guests. She then followed Mu Tingfeng upstairs.

When they walked past Lu Shu and Mu Tingfeng, Zhao Youlin didn’t stop, but she could clearly feel the man’s gaze on her. That kind of resentful and twisted gaze made it impossible to pretend that she didn’t see it.

Zhao Youlin furrowed her brows and suppressed the discomfort in her heart. In the end, she followed Mu Tingfeng upstairs.

Because they were worried that their current emotions would affect the child, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng did not return to their own bedroom. Instead, they went to the guest room next door.

The door to the guest room closed, immediately cutting off the impudent noise downstairs.

Zhao Youlin threw herself into Mu Tingfeng’s arms. She hugged his waist tightly and buried her entire body in his arms.

Mu Tingfeng was stunned when Zhao Youlin threw herself into his arms. However, he soon felt the agitation in her heart and realized that something was unusual.

Although he was a little worried and curious, he didn’t say anything. He just hugged Zhao Youlin and let her calm down slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Youlin’s breathing finally calmed down. She crawled out of Mu Tingfeng’s arms. Mu Tingfeng then asked in a low voice, “What happened? What did Mr. Lu say to you?”

Zhao Youlin pursed her lips and said with a depressed look, “That old man talked so much in a roundabout way, but in the end, he actually asked to buy my necklace. You know that necklace is…”

Zhao Youlin’s face darkened, and she didn’t say anything. Mu Tingfeng had a general understanding of the situation, and his eyes flickered. “Why would he want your necklace?”

“He said it was something similar to what an old friend of his had.” Zhao Youlin became angrier and angrier when she said, “Damn capitalists, bullies, and hooligans. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have a little power? I think he just likes my necklace because it looks good and exotic. He thinks he can buy it to please some girl. This damn old lecher, bastard…”

One of her most important treasures was being coveted. Zhao Youlin exploded. She grabbed Lu Xiangtian’s name and scolded him.

Mu Tingfeng was not like her, who was blinded by anger. He quickly realized that this was unusual. His eyes flickered, and he comforted her, “Don’t be angry. It’s not worth it to be angry at such a bastard.”

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment. She felt that Mu Tingfeng’s words were a little… out of place.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Youlin suddenly burst into laughter and teased, “It sounds normal from others, but why does it sound so strange coming from you?”
