The paper bag held an exquisite necklace with pearls of jade, and a sapphire pendant Every bit of jade was crystal-jade, translucent and beautiful The sapphire pendant was set in a gold heart-shaped base and it sparkled like a spirit in the sea; it was breathtakingly beautiful A necklace like this even without its historical value was at least over a ee looked at Xia Lei and could only speak after a pause “You… Why give ift?”

“What are you doing? Put it on

Long Bing drew close to the rearviewthat this necklace fit her well She was cold and this sapphire necklace was also a cool colour, adding to the intensity of her cold aura and a degree of class

The lights in aon the second floor was still on It was the study Xia Lei’s eye twitched and Annina ca on so sniper rifle sat on the table He recalled that that sniper rifle was the design fron

Xia Lei was struck by a thought ‘It was just a drawing on paper when I left and now she has a prototype She didn’t rest at all during this time What a workaholic’

He entered the villa, went up to the second floor and pushed the study door open

Annina looked up and let out a cry of joy when she saw that it was Xia Lei She stepped in her slippered feet to hi that it’ll be great if you were back And here you are!”

Xia Let patted her buttocks gently “Close your eyes”
