BXBX NOVEL Chapter 161 - 161 Give it back to me
Lu Lingche returned home, changed his clothes and prepared to go to bed.
When he undressed, he reawakened the pain in his shoulder. He took a glance at it.
Qiao Yin was truly ruthless, she bit him without holding back. It seems she really was fed up with him.
If he wounded like this, he’s doomed to have a scar unless he uses Qiao Yin’s grandmother’s medicine.
Regrettably, the stingy woman was not willing to share it with him.
However, it seemed like Officer Li had a bottle of it.
He picked up his mobile phone, then sent a text to his assistant. Although the assistant was off work tomorrow, it wouldn’t be too much to ask him to do a simple errand, right?
After sending the text, he went to bed.
The next morning, Lu Lingche woke up with a scowl.
He was still having that nightmare where Qiao Yin had been killed.
He kept dreaming the same scene of her murder, over and over again without an end.
Every time she was killed, his heart would pound.
He felt as if he would be getting heart disease soon from all this.
Why was this happening?
Was this punishment for not saving Qiao Yin first?
He shook his head, got out of bed, and washed up.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Qiao Yin who was calling.
It was surprising. She was the one to call him?
He answered the call and heard her clear voice through the phone: “Lu Lingche, did you take anything from me when you came by my place last night?”
Immediately, Lu Lingche remembered the soap he had taken. He pulled it out, glanced at it while answering, “No.”
“What did you tell me last night?”
“What?”
“You said that you are also worth lying to?”
“Yes, I said that, so what?”
“You are lying right now! You took my soap, give it back to me!”
Lu Lingche found it odd how she noticed one soap missing. After all, she had heaps of them, and he had merely taken one. Yet, she detected it instantly.
At the same time, he was somewhat annoyed. She had generously given six soaps to Lu Yanxi and four to Officer Li, but he had only taken one soap, yet she was demanding it back!
But since he was caught, there was no need to hide anymore: “Yes, I did take it, but it’s just a piece of soap. Is it worth you demanding it back this early in the morning, Qiao Yin? Don’t be so cheap.”
Qiao Yin was infuriated by him: “You stole from me and you have the nerve to say that? You really have an eye for quality. You didn’t take anything else but the unique one!”
Lu Lingche looked at the soap in his hand, then at the four pieces of soap he snatched from Lu Yanxi.
What was the difference? They all looked exactly the same.
“I made lots of soaps and you didn’t take any of those. However, you took the one my mother left me. There are only three pieces left, I’m hesitant to use it, I have been saving it as a memoir!”
Lu Lingche finally noticed the difference with the soap. The wrapping paper of the one he stole had faded a bit.
He asked her brazenly: “If you want it back, it’s possible. Just swap it for twenty that you’ve made.”
“What? Twenty?!”
Qiao Yin was exasperated: “It took me a year to extract essential oils myself and another half a year to collect and extract components from precious medicinal materials. In total, I’ve only ever made 18 soaps, and you’re demanding twenty from me?”
Lu Lingche was stunned.
So, the soap wasn’t easy to make?
Then why did she give away so many so generously?
Lu Yanxi provided her with work and became her best friend. It was understandable for her to be generous in that case.
But what about that Police Officer Li? They just met a day ago!
Could it be that she truly liked him? Did she indeed prefer tough guys?
He coldly said, “Then ten pieces, no less.”
“I won’t give you one, you stole from me, it’s only right for you to return it!”
“There’s no such thing as ‘only right’ with me. You better understand your place and bring me ten pieces. Otherwise, you’ll never get this one back.”
After Lu Lingche finished speaking, he hung up the phone..
