Chapter 71: Eaten to the Last Crumb by Him

te bothered by her treating him as a substitute for Yu Chengnan. Although he knew things weren't as he thought, now that the relationship between the two was already somewhat stiff, it was best not to...Li Bochen's mouth twitched slightly. Two hundred million dollars worth of things became worthless imitations in her hands.

Of course, since she didn't know his identity, she could only guess that way.

Seeing that he remained silent, Luo Ningxi's heart gradually sank. She tentatively asked, "Didn't it cost a few thousand Or... ten thousand"

Li Bochem calmly uttered, "One thousand yuan."

"Sure enough, it's over a thousand yuan. I'm not saying this to criticize you, but you just bought me a piece of clothing yesterday. Although it wasn't expensive, you're so poor and currently unemployed. You should save money now! Otherwise, when your creditors from home come knocking, you won't even be able to afford the interest..." Luo Ningxi earnestly advised.

Li Bochen's face was ashen, his heart beating like a drum. "Yesterday your sister said we were married and didn't even give you a decent wedding ring. I thought about it, she's right, it wasn't fair of me."

Luo Ningxi was taken aback.

She thought Li Bochen had fallen into his old habit of spending money, but she didn't expect it was because of Luo Zhiqin's humiliation.

He didn't want to be looked down upon by Luo Zhiqin.

A warmth welled up inside me.

"I know you're doing this for my own good, but the Ocean Heart is too ostentatious. Wearing this fake will only make people laugh at me more." Luo Ningxi said earnestly.

While she wasn't exactly a high-society socialite, she did have some wealthy second-generation friends.

In any circle, there's always someone who knows about the Heart of the Ocean.

Li Bohan frowned upon hearing this.

This ocean heart pendant is certainly a bit flashy for her now.

But for him, it's nothing.

"I'll buy you a more understated one another day."

"Don't buy it." Luo Ningxi hurriedly stopped her, "Forget it, I'll find a chain to string this together as a necklace. Ordinary people won't recognize it, so just pretending is enough. You don't have to spend money on me..."

To be honest, Luo Ningxi was still quite moved.

As the saying goes, a man's true feelings for you can be seen in how much he's willing to spend on you.

Although Li Bochen loves to spend money, it's just his personality. But deep down, it comes from the heart.

Li Bochen saw her meticulously calculating, a feeling of itchiness stirred in his heart. He readily agreed, "Alright, coincidentally my wages for this month are almost spent. Even if I buy something else, it probably won't be anything good."

Lu Ningxi glared at him, "You... when will you be able to save some money As a spendthrift, how long will it take to pay off all those debts"

After dinner, Luo Ningxi went to her room and took out a silver chain from the dressing table. She strung the Ocean Heart onto it and put it around her neck.

Li Bochen was putting away the dishes when he heard footsteps behind him.

"How do you like it, is this nice"

Li Bochen turned his head and saw Luo Ningxi wearing a light-colored shirt. A few buttons were undone, outlining her graceful swan neck, and a blue diamond necklace shone brightly on her neck. The V-neck shape shimmered against her creamy skin, complementing each other perfectly...

Li Boche's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, igniting a spark of flame.

"Beautiful," he rasped, "more beautiful than I imagined."

He doesn't know much about jewelry or diamonds.

The reason for filming Ocean's Heart is that it's a treasured heirloom, and it deserves to be paired with Luo Ningxi.

But unexpectedly, she not wearing it on her ring finger, hanging it around her neck instead actually had more charm.

The collarbones, arranged in a line, were delicate and small, with beautiful lines.

The blue diamond swayed slightly with her movement, as if it were alive...

Luo Ningxi bumped into his dark eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

Li Bochen's deep eyes were like a whirlpool, threatening to pull her in and consume her.

She took an uncomfortable step backward.

“You… wash the dishes first, and I’ll get to work.”

After finishing her words, she quickly exited the kitchen, her lips pressed tightly together.

Even after entering his bedroom and closing the door, his heart was still pounding.

I was carried away by my excitement just now and went to share it with him.

But she forgot, Li Boche could be restrained and obedient no matter how hard he tried. After all, he was still a man, a seasoned veteran of the world.

If one doesn't pay attention to one's limits, they will eventually be devoured without a trace.voice was panicked, and in the background one could hear the metallic sounds of a bar.From the first time she saw Li Boche, she felt that this person had a good temperament, an invincible handsome guy...
