chapter 37

When Jiang YaGe found out that the bracelet was lost, her disappointment was visible to the naked eyes.

She had the same dream repeatedly. In her dreams, there was a bright green bracelet around Fang JunRong’s slender and white wrist. Normally speaking, dreams would only be in black and white, but the bracelet sparkled a brightness that could not be overlooked.

Once she touched the bracelet, she would go inside a whole different world. She was only able to see a large stone tablet and fairyland-looking mountain, but Jiang YaGe could tell that it was no regular place. She still felt very at loss after she had woken up. There was a strong feeling within her that was telling her that she must get her hands on that bracelet.

She assumed it was nothing more than just a dream at the beginning. But after having the same dream for the entire week on end, she finally asked the servants at the Li’s in private. Jiang YaGe had been very nice to these servants normally. She took pity on them, even when she found out that they had pilfered a bit here and there, she would just look the other way. She was very well liked among the servants. Thanks to them, Jiang YaGe was able to find out that Fang JunRong had that exact bracelet. She used to wear it a lot but had it put away in recent years.

In Jiang YaGe’s mind, her dreams were heaven’s way of telling her to seize her opportunity. She felt this burning desire inside of her that she must have that bracelet.

From her perspective, yes that was Fang JunRong’s bracelet, but one couldn’t possibly compare a magical artifact with a regular piece of jewelry. A magical artifact possessed the ability to pick its rightful owner. So, she didn’t feel bad plotting after the bracelet. After all, the bracelet was nothing more than just a regular piece of jewelry in Fang JunRong’s hands. If she could truly utilize the bracelet for any gains, she could also be helpful to Fang JunRong in return.

That was the reason that she had made up a reason and created a nonexistent fiancé to have Li ShiZe willingly help her get her hands on the bracelet. That was supposed to be cut and dry, but to her dismay, the bracelet was lost.

The news made her turn pale and filled with disbelief. Her teary eyes looked like lakes. “Are you certain of that?”

Her look made Li ShiZe felt awful. He nodded and said, “Yeah, but that’s alright. Let me see how we can find another similar one.” He frowned. If push came to shove, he could always threaten the fiance’s family when they came. He figured her fiancé was not from any prestigious family and probably wouldn’t dare offend the Li’s.

That did not lighten Jiang YaGe’s mood at all. Even if he found an identical bracelet, it still wouldn’t be the one.

She lowered her head. “It was my fault. I never should have lost it.”

She looked like a flower that was beaten up by the rain, looking pitiful and helpless.

He wanted to be even nicer to Jiang YaGe. Li ShiZe’s heart ached for her and was even more upset at Zhong Yi. He even suspected that Zhong Yi had something to do with it being lost.

Jiang YaGe looked up and met his eyes. Then, as though she had come across something that was burning hot, she quickly looked away.

After the entire day of interaction between the two, even though their relationship did not move forward, they could feel the slight hint of romance had budded between them.
