This protective artifact was an extremely high-quality jade brought from the Tang family by Zhou Wei at Chen Jie's request, which Chen Jie had casually crafted.
His intention was to give it to Jiang Xue to appease her. After all, Chen Jie was in the wrong first, and he couldn't possibly have a cold face towards Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue's eyes lit up, and she then huffed, "It's not mine!"
"In a fit of anger, I threw yours away!" Chen Jie deliberately said.
As expected, Jiang Xue's expression immediately became tense: "Why did you throw it away?"
"When something I give away is returned, I naturally feel unhappy, so I threw it away out of spite. It's only natural for people to feel that way!" Chen Jie said.
Chen Jie wasn't foolish enough to tell Jiang Xue that he had directly given the protective artifact to someone else. Otherwise, given Jiang Xue's temper, she would have blown up on the spot.
"You, you idiot! Such a precious item! If you sold it to someone else, you could have earned tens of millions. Why did you throw it away? Did you think the money was too hot to handle?" Jiang Xue said with distress.
At the same time, she thought that Chen Jie did indeed care about her, otherwise, he would have chosen to sell it and wouldn't have been so angry.
Her mood immediately improved.
"In my eyes, these things are nothing. The only thing that matters is that the people around me are happy," Chen Jie said vaguely.
He secretly thought to himself: After spending a long time with women, one learns how to make them happy.
If it were him in the past, he definitely wouldn't have been able to say such things.
"Hmph! Then what is this? You giving me one is one thing, but giving me a second one? What will Xiao Yan think if she finds out?" Jiang Xue said coldly.
"Let her think whatever she wants. I'll tell her later and ask her not to overthink it."
"Don't, let's not tell her about this. She won't find out anyway," Jiang Xue said guiltily.
"Let's go. I'll take you home. Uncle Jiang is very worried about you."
Mentioning this, Jiang Xue quickly said, "By the way, what's going on with the Yang family? Did they give you any trouble?"
"Don't worry, those who provoke me never have a good end, and the Yang family is no exception. I've already gotten justice for you," Chen Jie said.
Jiang Xue felt a warmth in her heart and added, "And! I was taken away by Ye Wa. I heard she has an extremely powerful master, and she said that after using me, her strength would increase greatly, and she would come to take your life. Chen Jie, you must be careful."
Chen Jie smiled: "It's all minor stuff. You just need to stop being willful in the future."
Me…
Jiang Xue sneered repeatedly: "Willful? Do you hate my willfulness? What if I'm willful?"
Chen Jie's expression darkened.
As if stimulated, Jiang Xue suddenly stood up, grabbed Chen Jie's chin, and said, "I'm willful! Not only am I willful, but I'm only willful towards you! You should be honored!"
Their eyes met, and Jiang Xue suddenly froze, her rosy lips slightly parted.
A seductive atmosphere instantly arose.
"Ah!" Jiang Xue cried out, and with a blush, she punched Chen Jie in the chest.
Opening her mouth, with a disdainful expression and rolling her eyes, she said, "You scoundrel, you're disrupting my state of mind!"
Bang bang bang…
She suddenly seemed to go mad, shouting "I'm hitting you!" and her small fists repeatedly pounded Chen Jie.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Jie frowned.
"Didn't you say I was willful? Then I'll show you how willful I can be! You behave yourself, or you wouldn't want your business to be known by Xiao Yan, would you?" Jiang Xue said.
"What business?" Chen Jie frowned.
With a soft 'pop,' Jiang Xue kissed Chen Jie on the cheek. Then, embarrassed and blushing, she glared and said, "Of course, it's this kind of thing!"
"You…" Chen Jie's brow furrowed even deeper.
To be fair, Jiang Xue was exceptionally attractive, both in looks and figure.
Chen Jie was a normal man, and in such a situation, how could he not be moved?
After doing that, Jiang Xue immediately regretted it.
In her life, she had never had any intimate contact with any man before. When her face had neared Chen Jie just now, she felt a strange sensation that made her scalp tingle, followed by a profound mental shock.
"Jiang Xue, oh Jiang Xue, what are you doing? Didn't you say you'd treat him like a brother from now on? You're too bold!"
"Even if you do something, you should at least make Chen Jie take the initiative! He's a man, how can he remain calm in front of such a stunning beauty?"
But she just couldn't help but get close to Chen Jie. After all that, she felt that no matter how Chen Jie bullied her, only by his side could she feel safe.
"Cough, cough…"
Lin Shuang stood outside, clearing her throat.
The two of them froze and saw Lin Shuang calmly walk in.
Then she looked down at Jiang Xue's body.
"Miss Jiang," Lin Shuang said.
"What is it?" Jiang Xue huffed.
"You…" Lin Shuang hesitated.
"Me what? Chen Jie forced me to do all of that just now! This bumpkin, I can't stand him! He threatened me, so I had no choice but to comply!"
Jiang Xue said matter-of-factly, "Besides, what does our business have to do with you? Is it your business? Do you think he's handsome, and you want to be screwed too?"
Lin Shuang was stunned, then a confident smile appeared on her face: "The word 'too' is used well. But I'm here to remind you to look down."
Jiang Xue was first stunned, a feeling of regret surging within her, blaming herself for speaking without thinking.
Then she lowered her head.
She couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"Get out, get out quickly! All of you get out!" Jiang Xue shouted nervously.
It turned out she had gotten her period, and she hadn't even noticed.
With a bang, Jiang Xue closed the door.
Leaving Chen Jie and Lin Shuang in the living room.
Lin Shuang, for some reason, felt a pang of discomfort in her heart.
"Don't misunderstand, Jiang Xue and I have nothing going on. She's not usually like this," Chen Jie said.
"Jiang Xue has experienced a lot of shock in the past few days, and her emotions are very unstable. It's normal for her to do out-of-line things. I understand," Lin Shuang said.
"By the way, you promised to carry out a mission for our Dragon Group. In the next few days, you should prepare to go to the provincial capital."
Lin Shuang said.
"Provincial capital?" Chen Jie was surprised.
"Yes, in our provincial capital, there is an important target that needs protection. We will send a private jet to pick you up and drop you off. Prepare yourself first. From your tone, you don't seem very willing to go to the provincial capital?" Lin Shuang asked.
"No, it's just that I happen to need to go to the provincial capital to handle some matters recently." Chen Jie said.
After a few words with Lin Shuang, Jiang Xue walked out with a grim expression.
Then Chen Jie took Jiang Xue and left.
Jiang Xue was very nervous when she left. Whenever someone looked at her, she felt uncomfortable all over.
So she followed behind Chen Jie, tugging at his clothes and keeping her head down.
Only when they were outside did she relax a bit.
At the same time, she anxiously said to Chen Jie, "Quick, take me to your place. I'll borrow some clothes from Lin Mengjiao."
Chen Jie nodded and said to Jiang Xue, "I didn't drive, so let's take a taxi."
"Okay, hurry up."
Just then, a taxi drove towards them.
At the same time, a slogan appeared on the advertisement board of the taxi: "Jiang Xue, I love you!"
Jiang Xue's gaze sharpened, her whole body trembled, she covered her mouth, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Chen Jie.
