16 016 Jade has spirituality_1

Yu Jingchen looked at the snow-white figure fleeing like a little rabbit and once again conjured a thought-provoking smile.

He placed his curved little finger to his mouth and with a 'whoosh,' sent it flying towards the rooftop.

The lump carrying the white shirt scurried over to him, its plump body trotting along.

Yu Jingchen reached out his hand, and the lump jumped up to hand over the shirt in its mouth.

Then it positioned its front limbs in front of its chest, stood up on its entire body, and stretched out its tongue to please Jingchen.

Jingchen tapped the lump on the head and criticized, "You behaved very badly today."

"Umm..." The dog let out a protest, its large eyes filling with grievance.

"How can you steal a woman's clothing?"

"Umm..."

"How can you kiss someone on a whim?"

"..." The lump's entire head flopped down to the ground.

"Next time, don't blame me for eating your meat," Yu Jingchen threatened.

"Woof woof..." The lump scuttled away dejectedly and returned to its own doghouse.

...

The hall quieted down, its silence thought-provoking.

Engulfed in the night, Jingchen's expression was unfathomably difficult to interpret.

The iPhone rang with a melody.

Without looking, he answered it with a low voice, "Hello."

"President, I have investigated the matter you asked about. This Miss An Ning is indeed the girl who gave Qianqian a blood transfusion years ago, and she also is the one from five years ago..."

"I know," said Jingchen, before hanging up the phone.

...

Waking up the next morning, the world outside the window was brightly lit.

An Ning, with her short hair disheveled from tossing about all night,

Quickly washed her face and dampened her hair with water, looking presentable enough to walk out of her room.

"Miss, you're awake?" The auntie greeted her with a smile.

"Auntie, good morning, I need my clothing." The mere mention brought back memories of the previous night's heat and racing heart.

"I was just about to bring it to you," the auntie said, lifting the neatly folded clothes in her hand.

"Thank you," An Ning said, feeling a twinge of sourness at the sight of her clothes.

Since her mother had fallen ill, this was the first time someone had folded her clothes so neatly.

Her mother used to fold them like this as well.

Having changed into her own clothes, An Ning walked downstairs nervously.

After making sure there was no sign of the white Samoyed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Holding her purse, she naturally headed for the exit.

She hadn't reached the door when the assistant stopped her. "I'm sorry, Miss, but our president has ordered that you must have breakfast before you can leave," he said.

"I'm sorry, I really have to go out and take care of something," An Ning said urgently.

Today was the final deadline for her mother's hospital fees, and the nursing home had called numerous times urging payment.

If she couldn't pay today, her mother would have to sleep in the corridor.

"This is the president's command," stated the two assistants, guarding the door.

"But your president isn't here, can you please help me out?" An Ning asked, hoping to negotiate.

"..." The two assistants stood like statues, giving no reaction.

An Ning frowned. "..."

Auntie Wang approached and quietly persuaded her, "They only obey President Jingchen's orders. Eating isn't a matter of life and death, Miss. Why don't you go ahead and eat?"

An Ning glanced at her wrist, clearly distressed.

She wanted to eat too, but she needed to lose weight, otherwise she'd never be able to get the bracelet off.

Auntie Wang chuckled, seeing through her troubles. "Jade has a spirit of its own and will find its owner; maybe you and this bracelet are truly fated."
