C40 (2/2)

Jiang Liu'er took Bai Jie's phone. Jiang Liu'er had never seen the earring that Bai Jie talked about before. It might be a little difficult to find one, but the information that Bai Jie gave him was very complete.

”Maybe you should tell me something so I can learn more about this earring.”

Jiang Liu'er looked at the nervous Bai Jie, she was sure to find this earring for her, but what he was interested in was the significance of this earring for Bai Jie.

Bai Jie looked at Jiang Liu'er and hesitated a little. She couldn't tell anyone about the earring, but she knew it couldn't be anyone else.

The River in front of her was indeed a trustworthy target, but … Now was not the best time to let Jiang Liu'er know about this.

”I can tell you, but it's not a good time. If you want, I'll tell you when you collect some information that I don't have.”

Jiang Liu'er looked at Bai Jie with her mesmerizing eyes. This smart woman, she was able to do everything without leaving a single drop of water. Perhaps, she was a good partner for him.

”Of course.” Jiang Liu'er agreed. She couldn't be anxious about finding treasures, and the more anxious she was, the more impossible things were. There was a saying, ”One can't be anxious about eating hot tofu, right?”

Bai Jie laughed unhappily, but Jiang Liu'er could not guess what was going on. The two of them sat facing each other as they sipped their coffee, the atmosphere slightly awkward.

When she was about to leave, Bai Jie received a call. She walked to the side, lowered her head and quickly said something to the person on the other end of the phone. When she returned, she did not look too good.

Jiang Liu'er was also worried, so she asked, ”Are you alright?”

Bai Jie smiled awkwardly. She had kept some things in her heart for a long time, but she could not say them out loud. Furthermore, she and Jiang Liu'er had only known each other for a short period of time.

”It's nothing, we've already said everything. Let's disperse.”

Jiang Liu'er nodded and stood up to leave. ”I'll send you off?”

Bai Jie shook her head, looking flustered, as if she had something to hide from Jiang Liu'er, ”No need, I'll go by myself.”

Without waiting for Jiang Liu'er to say anything, Bai Jie quickly left the coffee shop. Jiang Liu'er hesitated for a moment and did not pursue her. Perhaps Bai Jie was really worried about something, but he thought too much into it.

Leaving the coffee shop, Jiang Liu'er felt a little bored and wanted to stroll around the streets for a while. The scenery on the streets was pretty good, the wind was blowing, and there was an endless stream of pretty girls by the roadside.

Looking at the passing pedestrians, Jiang Liu'er suddenly felt like she was alone. She smiled helplessly and lost her interest in shopping. She walked quickly towards home.

Xuanyuan Mingxue's call came at just the right time. After the call was connected, Xuanyuan Mingxue's tone sounded somewhat anxious, ”Where are you? When are you coming back? ”

”On the street, heading home. What's the matter?” When Jiang Liu'er saw a taxi by her side, she extended her hand to take a taxi, so that Xuanyuan Mingxue wouldn't say that she was dawdling.
