Chapter 411: It’s actually you!_1

The person’s movements were light as they slowly approached Yin Tian’s bedside.

In the darkness, this person bowed their head, their eyes fixedly staring at Yin Tian.

Their hands hanging at their sides were tightly clenched into fists, as if at any second they would punch Yin Tian.

But the person hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not reach out to hit Yin Tian.

Instead, they reached towards the bedside table, preparing to take the Jade Pendant that Yin Tian had placed on it.

Yes.

This person was the girl who had lost the Jade Pendant during the day and wanted to steal it back!

She also knew that Yin Tian was difficult to deal with, and if she woke him up, she probably wouldn’t be able to escape.

She just wanted to quietly take back her Jade Pendant and then slip away without anyone noticing.

However, when she picked up the Jade Pendant from the bedside table, she suddenly froze.

Although the texture of the Jade Pendant was exactly the same as hers, she immediately felt that the Jade Pendant in her hand was definitely not her own!

The girl stood there dumbfounded, feeling utterly baffled.

She had peeked through the gap in the wardrobe and distinctly saw Yin Tian place her Jade Pendant on the bedside table, so why had the Jade Pendant changed?

And...

What about this Jade Pendant?

She clearly remembered her father once saying that the jade used to carve this Jade Pendant was of the finest quality, rare in the world, and that only two Jade Pendants had been carved from the same piece of jade.

Suddenly, a voice rang in her ear, "Sneaking into a stranger man’s house in the dead of night, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"

The girl stiffened, quickly retreated while holding the Jade Pendant, and warily looked at the bed.

Click!

A light sound, and the room’s lights were turned on.

Only then did the girl realize that at some point, Yin Tian had sat up on the bed, smiling and looking at her.

"I... I just came to take back my belongings!"

The girl argued, though it came out rather feebly.

"Your belongings? Are you talking about this?"

Yin Tian extended his hand, and in it was a Jade Pendant carved with a phoenix.

"Give it back to me!"

The girl called out loudly but did not dare to move forward to snatch it.

"Don’t be in such a hurry,"

Yin Tian said with a smile, looking at the girl, "First, look at the Jade Pendant in your own hand."

The girl was startled, and subconsciously looked down, to see that the Jade Pendant in her hand was identical in material to her own, but the one in her hand was carved with a dragon.

"This..."

The girl stared at the Jade Pendant thoughtfully, "Where did you get this Jade Pendant from?"

"That was when I was very young..."

Yin Tian began with pretended depth, "On one night, a little girl with pigtail braids, and a runny nose told me she fancied me, wanted to marry me, and then she gave me this Jade Pendant."

"Nonsense!"

The girl instinctively retorted, "I didn’t have a runny nose at that time... Wait!"

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Yin Tian.

She raised her hand, pointing at Yin Tian, her immense shock rendering her speechless.

"Yes, it’s me,"

Yin Tian said, smiling at the girl, "The little boy you cried and shouted about wanting to marry."

"It’s you! It’s really you!"

The girl couldn’t believe that this man, whom she had been calling a lecher, was actually the fiancé she had longed for over a decade in her heart!

"How about it? I didn’t turn out too shabby, did I?"

Yin Tian stood up and walked over to the girl, "After all, when I was on the mountain, there were countless girls in the villages ten miles radius who fancied me."

The girl was still not over her shock.

Looking at Yin Tian’s beaming smile, everything felt so surreal to her.

How could it be such a coincidence?

The same guy who had been a continuous annoyance to her, was her nearly perfect fiancé, of whom she had dreamed countless times?

"Give it back to me!"

The girl snatched the Jade Pendant from Yin Tian’s hand and then, in a frantic rush, tossed Yin Tian’s Jade Pendant back to him.

"Wait a minute! Give me some time to think..."

The girl sat on the bed, her mind in complete disarray.

No matter what, she had not expected that she and Yin Tian had such a past...

Yin Tian also sat down at the edge of the bed, next to the girl, "I know this is a big shock for you, and I didn’t expect it to turn out like this either."

The girl turned her head and glared at Yin Tian, her teeth grinding in annoyance, "Stay away from me!"

She had learned about Yin Tian through her mother’s stories.

Before Yin Tian had come to the Imperial Capital, she had already taken an interest in him, and when she learned that Yin Tian had arrived, she thought of avenging her mother’s slights.

But instead of getting revenge, she ended up suffering several losses at Yin Tian’s hands.

Yin Tian looked at the girl’s indignant expression and laughed helplessly, "I know you might be feeling some resentment, but that’s the truth."

As Yin Tian spoke, he stood up again and opened his bag.

He took out a marriage contract.
