These seven ear studs were Xu Zhenyu’s beloved possessions. Each of them had a natural diamond on it and they were worth a lot. During the process of acquiring them, he had spent all his savings and even had to rob from the Xu Family members. In her previous life, he sold all these precious ear studs in order to buy more cocaine for Wen Xinya.

Xu Zhenyu was angry and reacted like a provoked cat in fight mode. “Whatever for? I should give them to you just because you like them? Do you know how much these seven precious ear studs cost? They’re worth more than 20 million dollars! This is unreasonable, I can have you arrested for conning.”

Wen Xinya casually picked up her cell phone and started playing games on it. “So you don’t intend to return the favor? You don’t show appreciation to someone who helped you when you were in need and want to arrest me instead! Do you still consider yourself a man?”

Xu Zhenyu’s face was flushed with anger. “Of course I am a man! I’m just giving a casual remark, I have no real intention of arresting you. It’s not that I do not wish to return the favor, it’s just that your request is too unreasonable,” he stammered.

Wen Xinya stepped forward and stood right in front of him. “How is my request unreasonable? Is it that you are unable to fulfill my request, or did I make you act against your conscience or do an illegal act?” she said in an aggressive tone.

“No, but…” Xu Zhenyu was slowly forced into the trail of thought she wanted him to be in, but he just felt that something wasn’t right. Her aggressive tone and the sparkle in her eyes made him feel guilty, with his heart rate increasing. He uncontrollably thought of the scene earlier when she looked at him with her teary eyes, making him feel sorry for her. It seemed like she had the right to demand anything from him.

“If not, then… give them to me!” Wen Xinya stretched out her fair palm as if everything was normal.

Everyone Xu Zhenyu knew, including his bad friends, was always extremely polite towards him. Even his Grandpa, parents and elder brother showered him with love and care. In his entire lifetime, he had not been treated this way nor seen anyone talk to him in such an aggressive tone. He was caught in a trance and obliged to her request before he realized what he was doing. “Just one?” He asked.

“Mmm-hmm!” Wen Xinya held her palm closer to him.

Xu Zhenyu looked at her palm; it was fair and as pure as jade with long, thin fingers. Her fingernails had clear nail polish and were well maintained, reflecting a beautiful, healthy pinkish color…

He started taking deeper breaths with a rising heart rate as his ears started to blush.

Raising her eyebrow, Wen Xinya asked, “What? You can’t bear to give it away?”

Flustered, he removed the red diamond ear stud and placed it on her palm. He then spoke in a fierce tone to attempt to conceal his agitation, “Who said so? It’s just an ear stud. I’m giving it to you now.”

While still in panic mode, his finger brushed against the tender skin of her palm, feeling soft and smooth. As his heart almost jumped out from his mouth, the blush spread from his ears to his face.

“I can see your sincerity, so I shall accept it gracefully.” Wen Xinya happily received the ear stud. She took a closer look and had a sense of unspeakable mixed emotions. He gave the same red diamond ear stud to her as a gift in her previous life. But… she used it to exchange for cocaine when she couldn’t control her urge.
