125 Necklace

“Thank you, Brother Lin Jia. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to last.”

Yin Tao’s legs relaxed, and her entire body relaxed a little. She half-leaned on the table and raised her eyes to look at Lin Jia. “Brother Lin Jia, this chair is very big. Come and sit here. You must have been busy with Grandpa Lin’s birthday banquet for a long time. Let’s take advantage of the fact that no one is around and rest for a while.”

Lin Jia looked at Yin Tao’s petite body on the director’s chair and felt his eyes light up, and he felt a warmth in his heart.

“Alright, let’s take advantage of the fact that no one is around and secretly rest for a while.” Lin Jia sat beside Yin Tao. The chair was indeed very big, and Lin Jia was very gentlemanly. He didn’t make any physical contact with Yin Tao.

!!

However, Yin Tao somewhat regretted asking Lin Jia to come over and sit with her. Although the chair was wide, the two of them were still a little intimate. Yin Tao also felt a little uneasy.

“Brother Lin Jia, did I not complete the mission?” Yin Tao broke the awkwardness between the two of them.

“No, why do you ask?” Lin Jia looked at Yin Tao, who was right next to him. He felt a warmth in his heart.

“But I feel that Grandpa Lin seems to be dissatisfied with me.” Yin Tao wasn’t sad. It was just that she was a little embarrassed that she hadn’t helped Lin Jia.

“Then are you willing to give up your job for your other half?” Lin Jia looked at Yin Tao as if he was anticipating her answer.

“I don’t think so. Even my parents couldn’t stop me. This is enough to prove how much I love this job.” Yin Tao replied very quickly, not noticing the obvious disappointment on Lin Jia’s face.

Although Lin Jia could guess Yin Tao’s answer, he still couldn’t help but look forward to it. If Yin Tao was willing to give up this job, wouldn’t the possibility between them increase?

Looking at Yin Tao’s bright and sunny smile, Lin Jia quickly erased his selfish thoughts.

“Then stay true to yourself. I hope you can always be happy.”

“Brother Lin Jia, I’m almost done resting. Let’s go out.” Yin Tao stretched her ankle and felt invigorated.

“Okay, I’ll go out with you. Xiaotao, can you be my girlfriend for a day?” Lin Jia’s tone was very polite, and he had a pleading look on his face.

Yin Tao didn’t understand what Lin Jia meant. Hadn’t she already agreed to his request? She nodded her head in puzzlement as the corners of Lin Jia’s mouth curled up. He then stood up and walked towards the bookshelf.

“This is for you.” Lin Jia took out a beautifully wrapped velvet gift box from the innermost compartment of the bookshelf.

“What is this? It’s too expensive.” Yin Tao looked at the packaging and knew that this gift was expensive. She refused to accept it.

“Open it.” Lin Jia gestured for Yin Tao to open it. Inside the thick and heavy gift box was a dark red ruby necklace.

The main body of the necklace was shaped like a flower. The ruby in the center was bright and luxurious. Sparkling diamonds were embedded all around, and the dazzling flowers were lively and colorful, as if they were blooming.

“Brother Lin Jia, I really can’t accept it. It’s too expensive.”

Looking at the necklace in her hand, Yin Tao instantly felt heavy hearted. Even if she helped Brother Lin Jia, she absolutely couldn’t accept such an expensive gift.

“Take it. Actually, this necklace is a little ostentatious. It’s not that expensive.” Lin Jia took the necklace out of the gift box and wanted to help Yin Tao put it on.

“I really can’t. Brother Lin Jia, I can’t accept it.” Yin Tao still felt that she shouldn’t accept such an expensive gift.

“Just do me a favor. Xiaotao, I hope you won’t be so distant from me.” Lin Jia’s voice was still very gentle, but the loneliness in his eyes couldn’t be concealed. “I always felt that you’ve never treated me as a friend.”

Yin Tao was in a difficult position. Seeing how Lin Jia looked now, she really felt sorry for him. Perhaps Grandpa Lin had said something to Lin Jia in the lounge just now, but Yin Tao felt that Lin Jia wasn’t as cheerful as before. His eyes were filled with worry and sadness.

“It’s not that I don’t treat you as a friend, Brother Lin Jia. Actually, Brother Feng and my brother are all very good friends of yours.”

“Then accept this necklace. As your brother, I’ve never given you any gifts.”

Yin Tao didn’t dare to reject Lin Jia anymore. However, wearing that dazzling gemstone necklace made her feel uneasy, as if she had accepted something that didn’t belong to her.

“It’s beautiful, Xiaotao. This necklace suits you very well,” Lin Jia said.

Yin Tao looked at herself in the mirror. Under the contrast of the luxurious necklace, her neck seemed to have become even more slender and fair.

“Thank you. This necklace is really beautiful.”
