Free Web NovelChapter 363: Chapter 363: Zhang Ruoyu Takes the Initiative
Zhang Ruoyu wore a smile, her face flushed red, as she gazed at Ye Ming with a soul-hooking look, a kind of carnivorous impulse emanating from her.
Ye Ming frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Ruoyu chuckled softly, her tone gentle as she said, "It means that your unilateral dissolution of our engagement is invalid, it doesn’t count!"
"So, I still have a chance."
Ye Ming stared at Zhang Ruoyu, dumbfounded, feeling a wave of exasperation.
Before he could speak, Zhang Ruoyu cut in, "Don’t worry, I’m not going to cling to you desperately. I came here because there’s something else I want to discuss."
"When your grandfather and mine made the engagement, they also left a token. I wanted to talk to you this time, in order to hand this token over to you!"
"However, I must also tell you that our engagement is still valid. I’m still your fiancée, and as long as you’re not married, I still have a chance!"
"I..." Ye Ming was at a loss for words. Wasn’t this clearly being unreasonable?
He sighed helplessly and asked, "What is this token? Why wasn’t it presented before?"
Zhang Ruoyu explained, "Before, the token was with my grandfather, and I didn’t know about it. It was only a few days ago that he handed it over to me."
"But I still want to tell you that, after spending some time together, I’ve found that I’ve fallen for you. In the days that you’ve been away, I’ve thought of you every day."
"I was wrong before, proud and arrogant. I’ll change in the future! I’ll become the person you like! I’ll make you accept me."
Ye Ming was interested in the token, but Zhang Ruoyu deliberately kept him in suspense, refusing to reveal it, which made Ye Ming feel a surge of helplessness.
She also laid bare her thoughts, adding to Ye Ming’s feeling of helplessness.
Despite having done nothing, how did he end up entangling with her?
"Miss Zhang, I hope you understand one thing. I... I already have someone I like. I won’t accept a second woman. I’m really sorry," Ye Ming said earnestly.
Zhang Ruoyu stepped closer, sitting directly on the table, very close to Ye Ming.
A beautiful leg, clad in black stockings, was revealed right before Ye Ming’s eyes, making his heart rate accelerate. He quickly shifted his gaze away.
"Miss Zhang, you’re making this very difficult for me..." Ye Ming hastily said.
Zhang Ruoyu chuckled and said, "Why are you acting like this? I just want to give you the token first, not to let you look."
"But if you really want to look, I don’t mind."
Her figure was nothing short of perfect. Dressed in professional attire, a small blouse on the top and paired with high heels and black stockings on the bottom, plus her attractive face, which man could resist?
Ye Ming was afraid he would make a mistake, so he turned his face away.
"Uh... what kind of token is it? Is this necessary?"
Ye Ming asked.
Zhang Ruoyu looked at Ye Ming teasingly, her surprise growing even more.
Ye Ming’s embarrassed appearance didn’t seem feigned.
The same Ye Ming who had once been so proud and arrogant in front of her, Zhang Ruoyu felt a surge of accomplishment realizing he too could feel embarrassed.
She deliberately changed the subject, her voice laced with grievance, "Do you really despise me that much?"
"No, I have never despised you," Ye Ming clarified.
Zhang Ruoyu pursed her lips and said, "Turn around then, the token is right here."
Ye Ming cautiously turned around, only to see Zhang Ruoyu slowly taking off her high heels, revealing her beautiful legs entirely within his view.
Ye Ming felt a rush of blood surge upward.
But the next second, his gaze settled on Zhang Ruoyu’s ankle.
There, on her ankle, was a delicately crafted anklet with a stone set into it.
The substance of that stone, resembling that of his Spiritual Pearl, was filled with Spiritual Energy.
Zhang Ruoyu carefully removed the anklet and handed it to Ye Ming, saying, "I’ve been wearing this Silver Ring for many years, only knowing it was given to me by my grandfather, but not knowing that this was the token your grandfather entrusted to our family."
"Now, it should return to its rightful owner!"
Ye Ming took the Silver Ring, which still retained Zhang Ruoyu’s warmth.
He held it in his hands and observed it carefully, quite shocked.
Indeed, the stone set in the Silver Ring was identical in material to the Spiritual Pearl, and he could faintly feel that this stone was even purer than the material of the Spiritual Pearl.
Zhang Ruoyu explained, "My grandfather said that this Silver Ring is a treasure, called the Space Bracelet, but since my arms are too slender, I could only wear it on my ankle."
"Now that it has returned to its owner, my task is also complete."
Ye Ming merely grunted in response, without giving Zhang Ruoyu another glance, which brought a sense of frustration to her heart.
She muttered indignantly, "It’s just a silver bracelet, could it really be more attractive than me?"
She had made such a big sacrifice, wanting to give Ye Ming some compensation, and had even uttered so many bold words, yet Ye Ming did not take any of it to heart, focusing all his attention on the Silver Ring.
"What an unromantic guy, ignoring someone for a silver bracelet, how am I supposed to catch your attention in the future?"
Zhang Ruoyu pouted, looking at Ye Ming with resentful eyes.
Seeing that Ye Ming was no longer paying attention to her, Zhang Ruoyu stopped making a fool of herself and left the office directly.
For his part, Ye Ming was oblivious; his attention was completely on the Silver Ring.
The Space Bracelet, as the name suggests, should be capable of creating space, but how to use it left Ye Ming quite frustrated.
He had already wrapped True Qi around the Silver Ring, but it showed no reaction at all.
Could it be that such a Magic Artifact required one’s own blood for an ownership contract?
Ye Ming had seen many Magic Artifacts, and he knew that some powerful ones required blood to establish ownership. He found it somewhat eerie, but now, he decided to give it a try.
So, he bit his fingertip and smeared his own blood onto the silver bracelet.
In an instant, the vision of a void space unfolded before Ye Ming’s eyes.
The space was about ten square meters in size, roughly the size of a small bedroom.
Ye Ming picked up a stack of papers from the desk and, controlling them with True Qi, tossed them into this space.
With a whoosh, the papers instantly disappeared, materializing in the confined space.
Ye Ming was immediately delighted; now he had an extra small space that he could carry with him to store things. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Furthermore, it was not limited by the strength of the carrier. No matter the mass of the items, once they entered the space, they would lose their weight, and the only thing he needed to bear was the weight of the Silver Bracelet.
"Got the treasure! Grandfather, what other things do you have that I don’t know about?"
