“Your right hand,” Xiao Mohan said.
Not knowing his intentions, she still reached out her right hand.
His left hand held her right hand, his hand on top, hers on the bottom. Both hands pressed towards the brocade box, she felt a vibration.
With a “pop”, the box opened on all sides, revealing a beautiful bracelet in front of her.
Gu Chuyan felt a sharp pain in her fingertips as Xiao Mohan let go of her hand.
When she lifted her hand, she saw a drop of blood falling onto it.
Scarlet blood dripped onto the glittering, transparent bracelet. The drop of blood, gleaming like a ruby, it piqued her curiosity, so she poked it with her finger.
“What’s happening?” Gu Chuyan asked in surprise as she felt the drop of blood seemingly seep into the Jade Bracelet, its vibrancy startling.
“Give it a try.” Without further explanation, Xiao Mohan extended his hand out to retrieve the Jade Bracelet and slid it onto her right wrist. It fit perfectly.
Having grown up in Gu family, despite not being the favorite, Gu Chuyan, as an official’s daughter, still was discerning. The glittering, transparent bracelet, without a doubt, was top tier jade!
“I can’t, this is too valuable,” she said, panicking.
The moment the Jade Bracelet slid onto her wrist, a cool sensation passed through her skin. It was an oddly refreshing feeling!
She tried to yank it off forcefully, but it was as if the Jade Bracelet had been embedded into her wrist and could not be taken off at all. She twisted and pulled, but it wouldn’t budge.
“Xiao Mohan, what do I do now?” She held out her hand in front of him, asking timidly, “Can you help me take it off?”
Xiao Mohan reached out, held her wrist, and examined it closely. Her wrist was pale and slender, as if the Jade Bracelet was tailor-made for it! They looked perfectly in tune.
“It looks great,” the man said, looking at it with his deep, silent eyes. It was a rare compliment from him.
She listened to him, dumbfounded. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get it off!
“Blood Bond Bracelet.” Xiao Mohan said, as he stood up, walked to the side, opened a bottle of top-notch red wine, poured it into a wine glass and swirled it around.
He stood in front of the bar, in a black suit and a white shirt, looking tall and straight, one hand in his pocket, holding up the glass in the other. An intoxicating allure emanated from him.
She found herself unable to take her eyes off him.
“Blood Bond Bracelet? Could it be because of the drop of blood just now?” she asked softly, her eyes glued to the Jade Bracelet on her wrist. A mixture of emotions filled her heart, especially with that red drop of blood on the bracelet which looked like a perfectly set ruby, it was incredibly eye-catching. She stood up and said softly, “Does that mean it can never be taken off?”
Gu Chuyan took a step forward, and asked, “Then how can it be taken off?”
Wearing this Jade Bracelet would attract too much attention! Unless others were ignorant, they’d think she was showing off her wealth!
“After giving birth.”
“Giving Birth?” She thought she had heard him wrong.
Xiao Mohan drank up his red wine and placed the glass onto the counter. He turned and looked at her, a hint of other meanings in his dark eyes, and a faint smile on his lips: “If you’re in a hurry, we can start right now.”
The faint scent of the man mingled with the aroma of the wine, somewhat intoxicating.
“I didn’t mean that.” She backed away slightly.
Her back was to the wine glass, she was leaning there, her hand against the side, watching the man slowly approaching, probably because he had had some drinks! His eyes were somewhat provoking.
“Then, I won’t take it off..” She waved her hand, looking at the Jade Bracelet on her wrist, she vowed not to take it off, not even if it killed her!
