The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter Part 2

☆ Chapter 204 Disbelief

Jiang Li stared at his hand in a daze.

The jade pendant was intact, and the moonlight shone through the window, shining his hand, white and bright. It was as if the civet cat was coming back to life. He was as beautiful and charming as if he had walked out of the dark world, holding a bewitching token in his hand and handing it to her.

"This..." Jiang Li looked at him in disbelief.

"You left this during the day." Ji Heng leaned back and said nonchalantly, "I forgot to give it back to you." Seeing that Jiang Li was reluctant to reach out to take it, he put the jade pendant on the table himself.

Jiang Li slowly held the jade pendant in her palm, feeling the joy of regaining what she had lost, and a hint of doubt. But her doubts were soon drowned out by a bloody smell coming from Ji Heng's body. He was wearing red clothes, and nothing could be seen under the moonlight, so it was unknown whether it was someone else's blood or his own.

He had not answered Jiang Li's question just now, so Jiang Li did not know where he had gone or what he had done. The only question she could ask was, "Are you injured?"

Ji Heng smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Li took out the scissors from her sleeve and put them on the table. She was like a child who had done something wrong, a little uneasy, and more hoping to make amends. She said, "... Later I saw blood on this pair of scissors. I clearly stabbed that person before... I stabbed you... You..."

Ji Heng smiled and looked at her, saying, "You still don't believe me, A Li."

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and she understood what Ji Heng meant in just a moment.

Ji Heng was by her side at the time. In fact, she knew in her heart that Ji Heng would take action, but she still took out the scissors at that moment. She did not expose all her weaknesses in front of Ji Heng, leaving herself a way out. She still didn't completely trust Ji Heng, even though she liked him a little.

Ji Heng saw all of this.

She said, "I'm sorry..."

"It's not your fault," Ji Heng interrupted her, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "After all, you died once."

Jiang Li was silent. Ji Heng thought that she was unwilling to trust others easily after being hurt by Shen Yurong, and this was to help her out, but Jiang Li knew that in addition to Shen Yurong, she also didn't trust Ji Heng herself. It might be that Ji Heng's image when he first appeared in front of her was unfathomable, and she weighed the pros and cons very carefully. 

Even in the later interactions, she gradually realized that Ji Heng was not that kind of person. When she was in danger, even if Ji Heng was in front of her, she would instinctively protect herself.

If Ji Heng was a very sensitive person, he would be disappointed because of this matter. If Ji Heng was not a sensitive person... He was not a fool, and he naturally understood it.

Jiang Li was a little depressed, but she still cheered up, forced a smile, and said: "So, are you injured? If..."

"No." Ji Heng stood up: "I'm fine, you should rest early." He was going to go out of the house.

"Where do you sleep like this?" Jiang Li asked.

"Don't worry about me." He just left this sentence and walked out.

Jiang Li wanted to go out, but she couldn't move. After a long time, the moonlight disappeared in the clouds, and the room was completely dark. There was a slight movement outside, as if someone was talking, probably Zhao Ke and Wen Ji. She sat on the couch with a thin quilt on it, and her heart was blank.
