BXBX NOVEL Chapter 60 - Glittering Necklace
Xiao li then followed the direction of his gaze.
What was this man looking at?
Suddenly, something swung before Xiao li\'s eyes.
A glittering necklace appeared before her eyes. It was a delicately thin necklace strung with a single star-shaped sapphire pendant. It looked exceptionally bright and sparkling.
Upon seeing this, Xiao li\'s eyes lit up at once. "Ah Jin..." She turned immediately to Jingyi Wang who was staring at her intently.
He asked, "Isn\'t it pretty?"
Xiao li nodded and exclaimed, "It\'s so beautiful"
As someone who had grown up in Xiao family, the sight of precious gems and jewelry was nothing new to her, but this star shaped sapphire was so pretty that she could hardly take her eyes off it.
Most women love gemstones, so her face broke into a smile immediately.
Seeing that she smiled again, Jingyi Wang could not help, but burst into laughter. "You like it?"
Xiao li nodded, not taking her eyes off the jewelry.
Jingyi Wang stood up and walked over to the glass and took out the necklace.
"Let me put it on for you. Lower your head" As he said this, he gathered her hair with one hand and lifted it. He parted her hair in the middle, and tucked it to the sides. As he did this, his fingers brushed against the sides of her face.
He suddenly paused when his gaze fell on her pale nape. His eyes darkened while he slowly secured the necklace around her neck.
Because he had lowered his head, Xiao li could feel his hot breath tickle her delicate skin.
She found it hard to endure. It felt like there were a thousand of ants crawling inside her heart. She gritted her teeth with self restraint as he put on the necklace for her.
Afterwards, he was done, yet she thought he would leave, but he slid his arms around her waist from behind.
Xiao li stiffened.
She was stunned.
She opened her mouth to talk, but before she could do that he rested his chin against her shoulder. Then his deep and resonant voice rang out in her ears, "Xiao li, I promise to always take good care of you. I will protect you"
After saying this, Jingyi Wang reached out and patted her head affectionately. They were standing at the top floor of the restaurant, taking in the beautiful and glittering night scene of G. city.

By the time they left, it was past 6pm.
Jingyi Wang was about to climb into the car when Xiao li grabbed his hand. Xiao li grabbed Jingyi Wang\'s arm which made him surprise.
Xiao li said, "Let\'s go visit my parent. It\'s been a while I saw them"
To her surprise, Jingyi Wang didn\'t object. He nodded and smiled.
Xiao li was shocked.
In the past, Jingyi Wang didn\'t allow her to go visit her parent, talkless of leaving the house. She had always thought of Jingyi Wang as a devil and that she can never live with him.
But as she continued to live with him, she found him interesting and a caring person.

The car drove into the Xiao family residence\'s front yard. Yu yan was on the balcony of the second floor cracking walnut when she saw Xiao li and Jingyi Wang climb down from the car together.
The moment she saw them, she immediately placed down what she was doing. She stood up, glancing at them in surprise.
"Lili, Jingyi, you guys came"
However, Auntie Chao had already come out to welcome them. "Young miss, Young master, you guys finally came back. It\'s been weeks since I last saw you guys!"
Xiao li smiled as she reached out to hold Auntie Chao\'s elbow. "Auntie Chao, did you miss me?"
"Of course I missed you. How could I not have?" She happily said as she patted Xiao li\'s hand. "I didn\'t know that you both will come for dinner tonight, I would have made your favourite braised ribs and steamed lotus root"
Xiao li had yet to reply when she saw her mother, Yu Yan, approaching them. With a bright smile, she pushed auntie Chao to the side and tugged Xiao li\'s hands. She said, "Lili, you didn\'t tell me that you were coming here with Jingyi. We would have prepared something for the both of you"
As she said this, she turned to look at Jingyi Wang, "Aiya, my son-in-law is so handsome. Look how cute he is"
Jingyi Wang smiled, "It looks like it\'s only mother that noticed"
Hearing his statement, Xiao li\'s lips twisted. Although, Yu Yan was angry that these two didn\'t tell her that they were coming, she was still happy. Seeing that they have decided to come home today, she had a warm smile on her face.
"Auntie Chao, go and cook dinner"
Auntie Chao replied from the side, "Yes madam" Then she walked into the villa.
Afterwards, Yu Yan brought Jingyi Wang and Xiao li inside.
"Do you guys intend to stay here tonight" Yu Yan asked once they entered the living room.
Upon hearing this, Xiao li said expressionlessly, "Mom, we only came to visit you, we are not sleeping here tonight"
Yu Yan\'s face fell when she heard her daughter\'s words. She glanced at Jingyi Wang, "Jingyi, is that true? You guys are not sleeping here tonight?"
Jingyi Wang shook his head, "No, mom"
At that moment, they heard footsteps bouncing down the stairs. They looked up and saw Xiao Fang. He was dressed in a causal dress, looking more mature and handsome.
Xiao Fang had a cold and stern look and his expression was dreadful, but the moment he saw Xiao li and Jingyi Wang, a blissful smile appeared on his face.
Earlier, he was in a very bad mood, but when he heard that his daughter and "future son-in-law" were downstairs, he couldn\'t stop himself from smiling. He quickly put aside what he was doing and rushed downstairs to see them.
"Dad"
Xiao li saw her father and rushed to hug him. Jingyi Wang also stood up and greeted him too.
"When did you come? You didn\'t tell me that you were coming home"
Xiao li reached out and wrapped her hand around Xiao Fang\'s elbow just as he was about to sit down. "Dad, we wanted to surprise you with our sudden visit. Are you not happy to see us?"
"We are" Yu Yan answered from behind, "Don\'t mind your father. He just doesn\'t want to show how happy he is"
