Chapter 393: Chapter 392: Don’t Tell Me He’s Lying to Him! _1

Yan Ling and Nangong Que arrived at a Western restaurant near the hospital.

Elegant music softly playing, a handsome man, and a beautiful woman seated across each other garnered quite a bit of attention.

But at the moment, Yan Ling was not in the mood to care about these curious glances.

"Spill it, what do you want from me?"

As early as when she was asking about Nangong Que’s medical history, Yan Ling realized he was not here for a checkup.

What kind of patient doesn’t know what’s wrong with them?

Nangong Que initially planned to wait for the right ambience before suddenly asking what he wanted to know while she was off guard.

This abrupt question left him stunned for a moment.

"If you won’t talk, I’m leaving," Yan Ling said, standing up directly.

Caught in a bind, Nangong Que quickly spoke up, "No, no, no, I’ll talk, isn’t that enough?"

Yan Ling covertly assessed his expression.

Seeing he seemed hesitant but did not appear to harbor bad intentions, she felt relieved and sat back down.

She took a sip of the freshly poured tea on the table, causing her white jade bracelet to sway with the motion.

Once Nangong Que’s gaze fell on the bracelet, he didn’t bother beating around the bush anymore, practically blurting out, "The thing is, I noticed your white jade bracelet—it’s top-notch, and I want to buy one for my girlfriend. Can you tell me where you got it?"

Upon hearing Nangong Que’s words, Yan Ling paused in her act of drinking tea.

Her just-relaxed guard immediately went up again.

This bracelet was the only heirloom left by her mother. It was broken earlier by Yan Zixuan and her mother. She had to go to great lengths to find a jade master to fix it.

Although the cracks no longer showed on the surface, the design and color weren’t really top-notch.

What young person would prefer this?

Besides, since he stepped into her office, this man’s gaze has been darting to her bracelet now and then.

It was as if he knew the origin of the bracelet!

Could it be...

Yan Ling’s eyes swirled a bit.

She then casually replied, "I’m really sorry, but I don’t know where you can buy this bracelet. You see, I found it in a trash can~"

Hearing this, Nangong Que hastily withdrew his hand that was about to touch the bracelet.

Picked from a trash can? How dirty could it be!

Wait a second...

How could such an expensive item turn up in a trash can?

She must be lying to him!

It hit Nangong Que belatedly that he was played again. He shot a somewhat angry glance at the woman across him, but she remained unfazed.

Given the situation, it was apparent she had already suspected his motives.

Why was this woman so sharp?

Realizing he couldn’t outsmart the woman before him, Nangong Que sighed in resignation, "Alright, I admit, I lied earlier. I wasn’t asking about the bracelet for my girlfriend. In truth, one of my elders also had a bracelet identical to yours. A lot of years ago, they lost theirs. That’s why I was interested in knowing the origin of your bracelet."

Besides not mentioning that the bracelet was a love token his uncle gave to his beloved, Nangong Que pretty much revealed everything else.

Although his expression didn’t seem to be lying, Yan Ling remained guarded.

"There are so many identical bracelets in the world, how can you be certain that the one I’m wearing is the same one your elder lost?"

Nangong Que replied, "That bracelet of my elder had a unique pattern on it. It represented our clan badge and was one-of-a-kind in this world!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Ling’s previously nonchalant expression immediately turned serious...
