Luo Qingli was silent for a long while before she finally said, "I think… maybe we could try to work things out?"
"Hold on, are you going back on your word?" Chen Xiao asked, stunned.
"Chen Xiao!" Luo Qingli gritted her teeth. "I'm not that bad, am I?"
Chen Xiao replied lazily, "You're not bad. In fact, you're the dream girl for many men. But I don't like this feeling of being at your beck and call."
"I'm a person, not your tool."
The room fell into silence once more. After a long time, Luo Qingli spoke up. "I'll give you back the Jade Pendant."
"Then bring it here now," Chen Xiao said.
"The Jade Pendant isn't at the Luo Family residence," she replied.
Chen Xiao took it as just another excuse and said indifferently, "There's no need for these convoluted games. I'll just fulfill your three conditions as soon as possible, and then we can go our separate ways."
Luo Qingli didn't explain any further.
