Chapter 29: Confrontation

The box lid opened, and inside was a beautiful Purple Crystal, lying quietly within.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately took out her own crystal and paired it with the crystal from the box.

As soon as she brought them together, both crystals burst into brilliant light, casting mysterious and exquisite purple halos that filled the room.

Ya leaned casually on the chair, a picture of ease.

He held a wine glass, his lips curling into a light, enigmatic, and charming smile.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately reached out to take the box, but Ya snatched it back in one quick motion.

Afterward, he held the box in one hand while beckoning Gu Xiaoxi with the fingers of his other hand.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded in understanding, took out her phone, and said, "We're friends, after all. I won't just take your things. I'll transfer the money to you right now."

"Who's your friend? Didn't you say this is only our second meeting?" Ya responded with a sarcastic tone.
