1072 Doting on Her (1/2)
Wiping away the blood on his hands, he lifted his eyes to look at her. ”If I hadn't come in time, they would have forced themselves on you. You're still thinking of pleading for them?”
He had a poker face on, not even a brow moved as he pinned her with an unwavering gaze. She had almost been taken advantage of by other men and he exuded a baleful aura.
She was his bottom line.
Lin Xuanji knew that if she were to phrase it wrongly, he would definitely flare up. She was afraid that he would be angry.
”If you end up killing him, you'll have to go to jail. What would happen to… me?”
Lu Jinwen raised his brows upon hearing that. His baleful aura instantly dissipated and his gaze turned gentle. Taking out a gift from his pocket, he helped her to put it on her neck. ”This is for you.”
Lin Xuanji lowered her eyes to see, it was a red string with a longevity lock on it. Once she moved, the bell on the lock would ring and make a tinkling sound.
She had heard from other people that men would always give women presents when they dated, but he had given her a longevity lock?
”Why did you give me a longevity lock?” she asked.
”You don't like it? I'll give you some other type of jewelry next time then.” He stretched out his hand, ruffling her hair.
His moves tugged at Lin Xuanji's heartstrings. She hadn't said that she didn't like it at all.
”Let's go.” He stretched out an arm, holding her svelte waist.
”Wait a minute, my friends are still waiting for me at the bar counter. I came out tonight to have a gathering with them.”
Lu Jinwen smiled. ”Go ahead with your gathering, I'll wait for you.”
With that said, Lu Jinwen took Lin Xuanji away from the bloody scene and had his secretary, Ye Shu handle the two young masters.
…
Lin Xuanji returned to the bar counter. She wore a red lacy dress and her longevity lock was showing. The exquisite workmanship had attracted the eyes of all her friends.
