Wen Renche took a heavy sip of red wine, his gaze shifting as a dazzling glint caught his eye.
Following the source of that light, his brows arched ambiguously upon realizing it was the necklace adorning the front of Ruan Yuan's dress.
He tilted his head, his eyes landing on her elegant, swan-like neck. "Ah-Shi, why aren't you wearing the necklace I gave you?"
Yu Zhi blinked her eyes. "What necklace?"
Shi Wei, who had been resting with his eyes shut, tensed visibly at her response. His thick lashes even trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Realizing this was bad news, he heard that warm, jade-like voice at his ear: "The gift I got for you earlier. I entrusted Mr. Shi to give it to you."
"??" Yu Zhi glanced at the man beside her.
Before she could even ask, Shi Wei, who clearly couldn't feign ignorance anymore, lifted his head.
Leaning back with an easy grace, he casually rested an arm along the back of her seat, his expression one of feigned contemplation.
