Chapter 199: Guessing the Truth

Cheng Yang’s eyes narrowed dangerously as he said, “What else are you hiding from me?”

Xiao Ying shook her head innocently. “No, I’ve never hidden anything from you.”

Cheng Yang didn’t believe her. He pinched her face and said fiercely, “You’ve been a little liar since you were young.”

Xiao Ying could only chuckle.

Just as she thought this matter would be over, Cheng Yang suddenly said, “Or do you know what kind of person I’ll become in the future?”

Xiao Ying instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Cheng Yang was too devilish. He was very close to the truth.

She did not dare to let him know too much. After all, the fake amulet wanted to kill him because his fate had changed too much. Who knew if he would attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao again for knowing too much.

Cheng Yang knew what was going on when he saw her reaction. He said nothing more and pulled her back to her room to sleep.

The next day, Cheng Yang received a call from Xiao Ruoxuan. Facing her invitation, Cheng Yang directly rejected it.

“Mr. Cheng, Xiao Ying really wants the amulet, right?”

Xiao Ruoxuan did not mind Cheng Yang’s first rejection and said solemnly.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yang hung up.

Xiao Ruoxuan panicked. Could it be that he knew that the amulet was not with her?

Impossible. She was the only one who knew about this. Cheng Yang would never know.

The panic in Xiao Ruoxuan’s heart decreased for a moment, followed by anger. She did not believe that Cheng Yang did not care.

She then sent him a text message.

Xiao Ying rubbed her eyes and asked, “Who called you?”

Cheng Yang said, “Nothing. Continue sleeping.”

Xiao Ying hugged the blanket and burrowed herself deeper before quickly continuing to sleep.

Cheng Yang’s expression turned cold when he saw the message on his phone.

“Mr. Cheng, if you don’t come, I’ll destroy this amulet. After all, this thing is useless to me.”

There was an address and time attached to it.

p.m., Jade City Lodge.

…

p.m.

Xiao Ruoxuan arrived early and waited for Cheng Yang with a look of certainty. She knew he would definitely come.

Although his arrival meant that he regarded Xiao Ying as very important, which made her very unhappy, she could only use Xiao Ying to force him out now.

The moment she saw Cheng Yang appear, Xiao Ruoxuan’s mood was a little complicated. On the one hand, she was happy, but on the other hand, she was unhappy that Xiao Ying was so important to him.

“Mr. Cheng, I knew you would come.” Xiao Ruoxuan smiled and reached her hand out to Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang was not gentlemanly at all. Ignoring her hand and sitting down, he said, “What do you want?”

Xiao Ruoxuan’s expression remained unchanged as she elegantly retracted her hand and returned to her seat. “Brother Cheng Yang, it’s been such a long time since we last met. Can’t I even catch up with you?” she said with an aggrieved expression.

She had tried this countless times in front of men. Every time, she could make them willingly do things for her.

Unfortunately, this time, she was facing Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang said with a cold expression, “You should just call me Mr. Cheng. I don’t remember having anything to do with you to reminisce about the past.”

Xiao Ruoxuan did not mind. After all, it was precisely because he was difficult to conquer that he was more charismatic.

“Mr. Cheng seems to like Xiao Ying a lot. Why?”

At the mention of Xiao Ying, Cheng Yang’s expression softened, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to melt, warming him up.

This change made Xiao Ruoxuan grit her teeth secretly..
