Chapter 50: The Small Snow Diamond Bottle

  Ji Luan must have known what I was thinking. Sun Wen, because he had always lived in a not-so-good environment, so he very much wanted to join the upper class society. For this, he paid ten times more effort than others --- to the point that he might have taken a not-so-correct path for it.

  I also remember that before he and I officially established our relationship, it was a period when he spent the most time with me.

  But even so, he is busy working every day - he is indeed the hardest-working man I know, and he knows how to cherish everything he has now. Two-thirds of his time is spent working, and one-third thinking about how to work better.

  In the past, I thought he was a workaholic. After hearing Ji Lian talk about his childhood and life experience, I realized that it wasn't the case. It was actually an extreme manifestation of insecurity in life, so he wanted to use his abilities to create unlimited material conditions for himself and his family.

  The two of us were still discussing Sun Wen when his phone call came in!

  As soon as I saw the phone number, my heart skipped a beat. I turned to Jiyan and asked, "Jiyan, what should we do? Sun Wen is calling, he must have returned home and found that I haven't come back yet, now he's looking for me."

  Ji Lian furrowed her brow and said, "Alright, I'll go back right away."

  I had no choice but to pick up the phone. Sun Wen's anxious and worried voice came from the other end, "Liang Pei, why haven't you come back yet?"

  What surprised me was that his voice was calm, as if nothing had happened last night. I knew he was prepared to have a prolonged battle with me, and he wanted to use this attitude to slowly win me back, at least for a while.

  I don't know why, when I haven't seen him, my heart is full of guilt towards him, no matter what he does, but as soon as I see him, even if it's just hearing his voice, I feel annoyed and resistant to any intimate behavior with him. Since getting to know Su Jinan, I've had this feeling, now that I know he's Ji Luan, I simply don't want to face Sun Wen again.

  Now I feel that Sun Wen is an absolute burden to me, a psychological burden. Also a burden in life.

  I just want to end all relationships with him as soon as possible and become strangers from now on. I know this idea is too irresponsible and selfish, but I have to admit it.

  "Have you arrived home?"

  "Yes, I just came back from the lab and brought you some supper. I thought you probably didn't eat anything tonight."

  “……”

  "Are you busy? When will you be back?"

  "Right away."

  "Alright..." Sun Wen's last words were filled with delight, seemingly also not expecting me to be so willing to go back.

  "What should I do now?" After hanging up the phone, I was like holding a hot potato, not knowing what to do, and could only ask Ji Luan who was still driving.

  "Take this." Ji Lian handed me a small crystal bottle tied with a thin red string, exquisitely crafted, and for some reason, it seemed to emanate an otherworldly aura, as if there was something inside. The transparent body of the bottle swirled with a faintly dark mist.

  "What is this." I held the vial he had just taken from his own neck, asking curiously.

  "Wear it, and when something happens, just knock on the bottle three times. Don't knock randomly if nothing's happening." He said nonchalantly.
