The Young Master's Escaping Bride Who Lost Memories

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1069: A Necklace Only Has Meaning When Given by a Man

”I want to return this necklace for now. In a few days, maybe my boyfriend will come to buy it. You know, a necklace is only meaningful when a man gives it to a woman. When I buy it and wear it myself, it just feels like something’s missing.”

Manager An was taken aback and didn’t understand why, if she knew this from the start, she bought the necklace herself?

Of course, what she didn’t know was that the cord of the necklace had been treated, soaked in a high concentration substance that could cause a miscarriage for pregnant women. If a pregnant woman came into contact with this necklace, it was likely to be harmful to the fetus.

Even though she didn’t understand, they didn’t dare to say no to someone of Nangong Zhongli’s status, so she nodded understandingly.

”Of course, Miss Nangong. If your boyfriend comes in a few days, we can offer him a discount.”

Nangong Zhongli said seriously, ”An, I don’t want him to know that I bought this necklace. But... I’ve already worn this necklace. I hope that when he buys it, it’s still this one.”

”It’s alright.” The manager smiled and said, ”Even if you’ve worn it, it doesn’t matter. We can provide a new one for President Liang. You’ve barely worn this one, just a bit of cleaning and it’ll be fine.”

”An, you know I’m a rather stubborn person. I’ve already worn this necklace, and I plan to keep wearing it. But I hope it’s a gift from my boyfriend. Even if you replace it with a new one for him to buy back, I won’t wear it.”

Manager An’s face showed a trace of embarrassment.

She chuckled awkwardly, ”If that’s the case, alright then. I’ll make sure this necklace gets to President Liang.”

”Thank you for your trouble.”

”Miss Nangong, you’re too kind.” Manager An smiled.

Nangong Zhongli smiled slightly and took an envelope out of her bag, handing it to Manager An.

The manager accepted the envelope, and as she looked at the stack of money inside, her expression changed.

”Miss Zhongli, how could this be? What are you doing?” she said, about to return the money.

But Nangong Zhongli stopped her.

”Manager An, I’ve heard that your daughter is preparing to go abroad and must need money. This money is what you deserve. I just hope that what happened at our meeting today won’t be known to anyone.”

Manager An was stunned, not expecting that Nangong Zhongli had investigated her family affairs so clearly. She indeed needed money, as her daughter was preparing to study abroad and they needed to buy a house and a car over there. Her years of savings were already insufficient.

This money, for her, could be a timely help.

She bit her lip and accepted the stack of money with some apprehension: ”Thank you, Miss Nangong, don’t worry, I understand, today’s matter will be as if it never happened.”

Nangong Zhongli smiled: ”Manager An is truly a smart woman, hurry and drink your coffee, it’s getting cold.”

Manager An saw the strange smile at the corner of Nangong Zhongli’s lips, felt a chill in her heart, but still nodded.

In the carriage.

Liang Shaochen opened the velvet box in front of him, looking at the necklace inside.

The light revealed the handsome and clear face of the man, his pupils radiating a charming glow.

Thinking of something, his lips curved into a slight smile as gentle as a spring breeze.

”It’s said that as long as a girl wears this necklace given by a man, they can always be in perfect harmony.”

Qiqi, I really hope that we can return to how we were before, understanding each other, cherishing each other, perfectly in sync.

You must like this necklace, don’t you?

”What did you say? He already bought the necklace?” Nangong Zhongli sat in the office, holding the phone, her gaze complex as she asked.
