Chapter 1413: Chapter 1413: Tick Tock Goes the Clock

But after calling for a while, Nangong Ruyue still did not respond at all.

Nangong Xu couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, somewhat puzzled.

"Ruyue, are you in there? If you are, just respond to me."

"..."

Just as he was about to have someone fetch the keys to open the door, a loud bang suddenly came from the bedroom!

Something had heavily slammed against the door, the noise deafening.

Nangong Xu’s face changed slightly, "Ruyue?!"

Thinking she might have had an accident, he didn’t bother to fetch the keys and violently kicked open the door—

"Bang—" The door hit the wall with another loud noise.

The lights were on in the bedroom, and Nangong Ruyue sat on the bed, looking at him with an icy expression.

And on the floor at the doorway, there were fragments of a vase...

Clearly, he had been too noisy, and Nangong Ruyue was very angry, so she threw a vase at the door.

Nangong Xu was somewhat taken aback; this was the first time he had seen Nangong Ruyue lose her temper to such an extent.

She had always been gentle and tender, never the kind to show anger.

But today, she lost her temper at him... She was probably in a bad mood, and he had come to bother her, unintentionally walking into the line of fire.

However, the truth was that the door had been locked from the outside by Nangong Ruyue.

She couldn’t open it from the inside and was even more worried that Nangong Xu would find someone to unlock it and realize it was locked from the outside.

Afraid of arousing his suspicions, she had no choice but to use this tactic to make him break in himself.

Nangong Xu stepped over the fragments and walked in, sitting down beside the bed, he said with a smile and gentle voice, "Did I wake you?"

"..." Nangong Ruyue coldly stared at him; she simply didn’t like him and didn’t want to see him.

Unconcerned, Nangong Xu smiled and said, "Do you know? I found something today; guess what it is?"

"..."

Knowing she wouldn’t speak, he still wanted to stir her emotions.

Pulling something with a golden chain from his pocket, he extended his palm towards her, cradling an open-face watch in his hand.

The cover of the watch was gold, too, and a beautiful camellia was engraved on its round surface.

It was a gold-plated watch... yet a watch more precious than gold...

Seeing this familiar object, Nangong Ruyue’s eyes flickered slightly.

Nangong Xu opened the watch cover, and immediately a clear, pleasing melody played...

The golden second hand moved across the pure white dial studded with diamonds, ticking along with the music.

"Ruyue, do you still remember this item?" Nangong Xu asked her in a soft voice.

Nangong Ruyue’s thoughts drifted for a moment.

[Gong Xu, is this watch for me?]

[Yes, do you like it?]

[I like it very much, thank you.]

[Won’t you ask why I’m giving you a watch?]

[Because today is my 18th birthday, although I received many watches today, yours is the most precious.]

[You think it’s the most precious?]

[Of course, look at these diamonds, they must be worth quite a bit, right?]

[Hehe, yes, you’re right, this watch is very valuable; you must keep it safe and not lose it.]

However, she had lost this watch at the age of 20, when she and Xiao Zexin secretly eloped.

After more than twenty years, he had found it again...

"Ruyue, back then I asked you if you knew why I wanted to give you a watch. You didn’t give the right answer, and I didn’t tell you the answer."
