Zhou Baoling went over and said, "Mr. Qu, why are you sitting outside? It's getting colder these days. It wouldn't be good if you catch a cold."
Qu Linyuan withdrew his gaze and focused on her. "Did Miss Zhou go out?"
"I went to the hospital to complete the discharge procedures and to collect my belongings," Zhou Baoling said as she bit her lip, voicing her thoughts. "Mr. Qu, you've been kind to take me in, but I can't just freeload off of you. I'd like to find some work to do. If you need someone by your side, I can help you..."
Qu Linyuan didn't answer her but instead, asked gently, "Do you remember the last time I saw you at the hospital, you were wearing a necklace around your neck. Is that necklace still with you?"
The necklace?
Zhou Baoling was taken aback for a moment before she realized which necklace Qu Linyuan was referring to.
The necklace belonged to Yun Kai; it had already been taken back by him.
