Chapter 765 - 093 Xia Zheng is back_2
"Ouch!" Xia Zheng was bitten out of the blue, released his hold and rubbed his nose, looking at her with resentment, "I just wanted to give you a surprise, did you really have to bite me? It hurts."
Lin Yuan glanced at him, her upturned lips betraying her good mood at the moment: "Surprise? Call this a surprise? I almost destroyed you... cough cough, I almost killed you!"
In her excitement, she almost let slip the ’family jewels’ part of the phrase.
Xia Zheng chuckled and grabbed her hand, "I knew you’d recognize me."
Lin Yuan rolled her eyes dramatically, if she hadn’t recognized that the jade pendant was heart-shaped, she wouldn’t have known the man in black was Xia Zheng. On a normal day, maybe, but today her mind was in turmoil.
"Why did you make a pendant like this?" As she picked up the abacus and candlestick from the ground and placed them aside, Lin Yuan seemed to ask nonchalantly, but her hand slipped while she was placing the candlestick, she couldn’t help it, she was too excited.
Xia Zheng grinned, pulled her closer, and handed her the jade pendant he was holding: "Have you forgotten? Didn’t you tell me that a heart shape represents affection? Now I am giving you my heart, and I hope you’ll accept it."
Lin Yuan bit her lip, turned to slide out of his arms, and picked up the candlestick from the corner to place it on the central table. The room was so large, she had placed a candlestick in each corner so it wouldn’t be too dark.
"Your heart, what do I need it for?" She indeed had mentioned to him that this shape represented love, just in passing, without thinking that he would remember it, let alone specially carve one for her.
"My heart is filled with you, who else would I give it to?" Xia Zheng said these sweet nothings with a mischievous smile on his lips, almost bewitching Lin Yuan.
Feeling the heat in her ears, Lin Yuan bit her lip, snatched the jade pendant, and examined it closely in the candlelight. The words that had been unclear before were now visible.
