Chapter 416: Betrayal of the heart
"Is there anything else you would like?" He asked gently. His voice was soothing and alluring, make her heart feel like she was in a race.
She shook her head with her cheeks flushing. "N-no."
He nodded, then waited for the sales lady to bring the necklaces.
Once they were brought, he held up a fiery red ruby necklace and placed it around her neck. "It looks so beautiful on you. It accentuates the color of your eyes."
"Thank you." She touched the necklace as her eyes fluttered. They both knew that he was merely doing it to look like a real boyfriend. Why was she so flustered by his actions?
The main point was, the man she loved was Xingyu. Why was she so flustered under another man’s fluttery? Why was her heart betraying her?
His fingers brushed against her skin as he helped her try on the other necklaces. Each time, it was as though she had been struck by electricity. She had to keep reminding herself that they were faking it to remain sane.
Intitially, she had wanted to try on a few official clothes too. However, she could no longer stand it. She was almost going insane.
Of course, his complements about her beauty were true. His urge to give her all the treasures in the world was also true. He just didn’t know the kind of effect his gestures had on her.
