Chapter 488 - The Crown in the Darkness (15) (1/2)

Ji Yue’an was a little dumbfounded as he was taken here in silence in the middle of his sweet dreams.

And the people who took him here then threw him into the kitchen without demur…

Ji Yue’an cooked a plate of simple pasta, put it in front of Ming Shu, “Miss Wen, you asked me here, is it just for a bowl of pasta?”

Took him here to cook noodles for her, this is insane!

After Ming Shu went to his family last time, the Ji family seemed to become a little different while treating him. They sent out a few cautious feelers, seemingly trying to reach her through him.

But he doesn’t have her contact information.

Ming Shu threw a box over with eyes glittering, “Here’s a gift for you.”

Ji Yue’an frowned.

He opened the box and couldn’t help twitching his mouth corners, “Miss Wen, this necklace is the one I bought, you’re giving it to me as a gift?”

She actually took it back…

What does she want to do?!

Does she have a crush on me?

You shouldn’t blame Ji Yue’an for thinking too much, it’s indeed because Ming Shu’s behavior was too confusing.

“This was originally yours.”

He did bought it, that’s right, it’s his.

Ji Yue’an took a deep breath, “Miss Wen, I mean, why do you specially take this necklace back and give it to me?”

Ming Shu began to eat the pasta with a fork, “Because it’s yours.”

Ji Yue’an felt Ming Shu hid something else behind this sentence. He examined the necklace several times. It was not bought in the jewelry shop, but in an antique shop.

He accompanied a friend to go there then. Thinking that Grandma Ji’s birthday was coming, he just browsed at random and then somehow noticed this necklace.

He didn’t see any special parts in the necklace, but it attracted him, so he bought it.

Ji Yue’an pinched the necklace, “What do you mean? What’s called ‘because it’s yours’?”

“Literal meaning, Mister Ji. I remember you’re going to graduate from college, right? Is your comprehensive ability so poor?”

Then no matter what Ji Yue’an asked, Ming Shu only focused on her food quietly and ignored him.

In the end, she was really annoyed by his blattering and told Green Hair to throw him on the square in downtown area.

Ji Yue’an stood at the edge of the square. The necklace in his hand had been warmed now.

“Ahhhhh–”

Several screams came from the flower bed not far. Ji Yue’an felt a little strange. Why is there someone in the park at this late?

The loud screams then changed into some mournful sobbing noises, which sounded like the owner’s mouth was covered.

Ji Yue’an walked over there with the necklace in hand.

He saw two drunk men were trying to rape a little girl.

Ji Yue’an immediately became sober and he rushed over, “What are you doing.”

He pushed the man off the little girl, pulled the latter to stand up and protected her behind him.

“Pah, where do you pop out, young kid. Get away, don’t ruin my interest.” Drunk man A cursed fiercely and tried to pull the girl back.

Ji Yue’an protected the girl and stepped back.

Drunk man B probably had practiced some shallow martial arts and he kicked Ji Yue’an in the body. Then the drunk man A took the opportunity to pull on Ji Yue’an’s hair, pressing him down to the ground.

“Run, call the police.”

Ji Yue’an stopped the two drunk men and asked the girl to run first.

The little girl was frightened a lot, and she was stunned there for a long while before running away.

The two drunk men kicked and beat Ji Yue’an fiercely. They didn’t stop until hearing the wailing of police siren, and they ran to different directions.

Blood streamed down from the forehead along the cheeks, dripping onto the necklace.

Ji Yue’an’s vision blurred. Some lights from unknown source shone into his eyes, making him couldn’t open them easily, but then the surrounding fell into darkness again.
