Chapter 254: Chapter 249: The Unclean Bracelet

Han Yun saw Long Chen so earnest and looked at him with half-belief and half-doubt in her eyes.

"You start," Han Yun said with a smile, "Guess what I’m thinking right now."

"Let me think."

Long Chen stared at Han Yun, and after a few seconds, he laughed and said, "You’re thinking, ’His eyes are really charming.’"

Upon hearing this, Han Yun’s pretty face turned red immediately.

"I... I wasn’t thinking that at all, you’re talking nonsense."

Han Yun was infinitely shy.

Because Long Chen had guessed right.

It was exactly because he had guessed right that her face flushed.

But Han Yun wouldn’t admit that she thought so.

"Then we can’t continue this game."

Long Chen shrugged his shoulders.

"It’s okay if you guessed this one wrong, just keep guessing the next one,"

Han Yun said.

After speaking, Han Yun couldn’t help thinking to herself, ’How outstanding is the woman this man, who is a few years younger than me, had found? Can I measure up to her?’

Long Chen stared at Han Yun, and for a moment, he didn’t speak.

Han Yun waited for over ten seconds, and seeing that Long Chen hadn’t spoken, she couldn’t help saying, "Can’t you guess it?"

"I guessed it, but... I don’t know if I should say it,"

Long Chen hesitated.

"Just say it boldly,"

Han Yun said.

"Alright," Long Chen laughed and said, "My woman is very outstanding, but if I have to compare her to you, I can’t tell who’s better. Each has its own merits."

Hiss.

Han Yun sucked in a breath of cold air and suddenly stood up.

She hadn’t expected Long Chen to actually guess correctly.

Could there truly be such a thing as mind-reading in this world?

"Don’t be scared, I’ve already told you that we are fated. I can know what’s in your heart,"

Long Chen soothed Han Yun.

Han Yun took a deep breath and took a while to recover: "You... guess another one."

"No need to guess, let’s add each other on WeChat,"

Long Chen took out his phone and opened the QR code.

This time, Han Yun was completely convinced.

Although this man seemed a bit frightening,

spending time with someone like him didn’t seem tiring.

Many things didn’t need to be explicitly expressed; he already knew them.

"Why can you know what I’m thinking?"

Han Yun couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, in a low voice.

"I’ve told you before, it’s because we are fated. Perhaps in a past life we were lovers, that’s why we can understand each other’s thoughts upon first meeting in this life,"

Long Chen spoke off the cuff.

He certainly couldn’t tell Han Yun that he really could read minds.

If he did, Han Yun would genuinely be scared.

Sure enough, after saying that, Han Yun was not only unafraid but also somewhat delighted, unable to hide the smile on her lips.

"Your mouth must be sweet as honey; I bet you’ve deceived plenty of girls, haven’t you?"

Han Yun glared at Long Chen.

"To be honest with you, indeed, many girls have loved me, but I didn’t deceive them; it was mutual affection,"

Long Chen admitted frankly.

This attitude took Han Yun by surprise.

Normally, men would deny it, but Long Chen openly acknowledged it.

Han Yun had thought that after knowing Long Chen was a womanizer, she would be disgusted.

But she bizarrely found that not only did she not feel any aversion, but her fondness for him had also increased.

Han Yun was puzzled by her own strange reaction.

Little did she know that her thoughts were already crystal clear to Long Chen.

Before long, the two of them chatted while eating and talked about a lot.

Han Yun spoke of her past experiences.

She had been married, had a daughter who was already five years old, and was currently single.

Han Yun told Long Chen that because of that failed marriage, she didn’t want to give any man a chance anymore.

Because she was afraid!

Long Chen sighed.

This woman, appearing so beautiful and refined, wealthy and attractive, had such an experience that truly elicited sympathy.

After drinking a bit of wine, Han Yun’s complexion became slightly flushed, adding a few more enchanting touches to her charm.

In a blink, twenty minutes passed.

Han Yun suddenly received a phone call, and after hanging up, her smile disappeared, and she immediately stood up.

It was obvious that something major had happened to Han Yun.

But to Long Chen, Han Yun still tried her best to stay calm and spoke softly, "Something’s come up at home, and I need to go back to check on it right away. Long Chen, you should go to the auction house as soon as possible to get your item. After all, it’s worth eight billion, and it would be safer to have it back at home sooner."

"What has happened at home?" Long Chen asked.

If Han Yun, a woman like her, thought it was a big deal, then Long Chen believed it must be serious.

"Don’t you know what I’m thinking?"

"Your daughter is sick," Long Chen blurted out.

Han Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "If you were my... ah, forget it, I’ll go back first. We can meet another day."

"Let me accompany you back to take a look. My medical skills are pretty decent, and I might be able to help," Long Chen said.

"Right," Han Yun slapped her forehead, only then remembering that all the Elixir from Dragon Doctor came from Long Chen.

Even for terminal illnesses, Long Chen could cure them with just a tiny Elixir, so naturally, his daughter’s illness wouldn’t be a problem.

With this thought, Han Yun immediately said, "Then I’ll trouble you to come back with me."

"Okay."

The two of them walked to the side of the road to hail a taxi.

Coincidentally, a heavy rain started to pour down.

"Why not call someone from the auction house to arrange a car to take us back? After all, the auction house isn’t far from here,"

Long Chen said.

"I..."

"Are you two going?" Right on cue, a motorcycle stopped in front of them.

Eager to get home, Han Yun didn’t think twice before telling Long Chen, "Get on, you sit in front."

"Alright then."

Long Chen smiled wryly.

He couldn’t remember the last time he had ridden a motorcycle.

As Long Chen got on, Han Yun also boarded, sitting behind Long Chen, and said to the driver, "To Moonlight Bay, and please hurry."

"Got it."

The motorcycle driver revved the engine and took off.

He was somewhat astonished in his heart.

Because those who lived in Moonlight Bay were all wealthy, and nowadays, wealthy people would travel by car, wouldn’t they?

As the motorcycle sped along the highway, Han Yun instinctively hugged Long Chen’s waist, pressing against his back.

Long Chen felt the fullness against him, stirring something within.

Han Yun was also aware that she and Long Chen were getting too close.

But neither of them spoke, as if they shared some tacit understanding.

The rain grew heavier, and even though the motorcycle had a sunshade to block some of it, rain still managed to drift inside.

Long Chen immediately took off his coat and placed it over Han Yun’s legs.

Seeing Long Chen’s action, Han Yun felt a warmth in her heart and was moved.

It was this kind of small, detailed care she needed.

After more than ten minutes, the motorcycle finally arrived at its destination.

Han Yun pulled Long Chen and ran quickly into a villa.

As soon as she entered, Han Yun saw the nanny holding her daughter, sitting on the couch, looking anxious.

The little girl’s face was deathly pale, with a layer of frost on it.

But between her eyebrows, there seemed to be some black mist swirling.

This black mist, invisible to the average person, was visible to them.

Han Min quickly ran up, took the child from the nanny’s arms, and held her close, her eyes reddening, "Xinxin, it’s all Mommy’s fault. Mommy hasn’t taken good care of you."

"How long has the child been like this?" Long Chen asked.

"For almost two months now, she’s been getting sick every ten days or so. I’ve taken her to the hospital for checks, but they haven’t found anything. It’s very strange."

Han Yun bit her lip, deeply worried.

"Let me take a closer look."

Long Chen stepped closer and carefully examined her.

After a moment, Long Chen sighed.

He had discovered the true cause!

"How is it?"

Han Yun asked anxiously.

"The cause has been found," Long Chen said, as he removed a silver bracelet from the little girl’s wrist.

The root of the problem lay with this bracelet.

"Did you give this bracelet to the little girl?" Long Chen asked Han Yun.

Han Yun shook her head, "Her grandmother gave it to her, saying it would keep her safe. I don’t believe in such things, but I thought her grandmother meant well, so I didn’t mind. Is there something wrong with the bracelet?"

"It’s a big problem," Long Chen said seriously. "This bracelet is urgent, coming from underground. Simply put, it’s from a dead person, and the deceased was no ordinary person, most likely someone who had practiced Evil Techniques in life.

Of course, what I’m saying might be hard for you to understand or believe, but as long as you don’t put this on your child again, she will naturally be healthy and trouble-free."

As Long Chen finished speaking, the little girl’s pale face miraculously regained some color and wasn’t as pale as before.

"Oh, it does seem to work."

The nanny exclaimed in surprise.

Han Yun looked down and touched Xinxin’s cheek, feeling noticeably less cold.

She immediately believed that the problem was with the bracelet, which was perhaps really taken from the body of a deceased person.
