But then she felt a bit uneasy, as if she was guarding herself against a benefactor. He wasn't someone trying to harass her.
While Wang Liuying was lost in thought, the refined man spoke: "Give me your Jade Pendant."
"Huh?" Wang Liuying was taken aback, a Jade Pendant? She looked at the wooden jade pendant she wore on her hand.
This was something she brought from her hometown, made from wood her father cut from deep in the mountains and crafted by hand.
What's he going to do with it?
"Give it to me!" the man said coldly.
Wang Liuying was startled by the man's icy voice, feeling somewhat wronged. She had thought this person should be kind-hearted and brave, but he turned out to be so indifferent.
But Wang Liuying didn't dare hesitate. She removed the Jade Pendant and handed it over. Even though the pendant was meaningful to her, she didn't dare defy his command.
The man took it without any hesitation.
