Chapter 467: Plan to Win Back Boyfriend Using Green Tea 12

He Yuchuan couldn't say what he was thinking right now.

Yesterday Jin Chen's words, "no one can take it off," still lingered in his ears, but today he himself had already not worn it.

He wanted to ask the reason, but feared Jin Chen would misunderstand and think there was another meaning.

In the end he said nothing, and moved his gaze away from Jin Chen.

Gu Yuanheng, however, felt Jin Chen could understand what they wanted to do, so he backed off knowing it was difficult.

Observing Jin Chen's calm demeanor, he felt satisfied and simply took out what he had prepared at this opportunity.

"Yuchuan, seeing you go to the jewelry store yesterday made me realize we've been together so long and never prepared a lovers' gift for you."

He smiled, placed the jewelry box on the table, covered He Yuchuan's hand with his palm, and spoke sincerely and gently.

"This couple's ring is a work by a famous Italian designer; I think it will suit us very well."

He Yuchuan looked at the sparkling ring and instinctively frowned.

Receiving this gift, he didn't seem as happy as when he received the ring Jin Chen gave him that day; why?

He glanced at Jin Chen.

But the boy was just seriously looking at the tablet page, seeming to chat happily with someone, and didn't notice.

Jin Chen finally turned his attention to the two of them, wearing a polite smile.

"What a beautiful ring, Gu Brother really put thought into it."

Like any ordinary younger brother, he would be happy that his older brother received a gift and would praise the giver.

He Yuchuan should have been very satisfied with that gesture.

But seeing Jin Chen actually do that made him feel an indescribable sourness in his heart, heavy as a sponge soaked in water.

He didn't put the ring on his hand, but instead put it away, casually placing it in his clothing pocket, his voice somewhat cold.

"No need to buy it next time."

Gu Yuanheng's smile faded considerably, but he pretended to be happy, "A ring naturally only needs a pair; next time we can buy another gift."

He lowered his eyes, his gaze flashing with a moment of ferocity.

When he received that ring from Jin Chen, it wasn't like this expression; why should his feelings be trampled!

Originally, the guilt from the hidden tracker had also completely dissipated.

During breakfast, each of the three had their own thoughts.

After breakfast, the violent wind and rain continued unabated, even with ice pellets falling, mercilessly striking and drenching the ground; occasionally one could see broken branches from the garden blown into the air and then slammed down hard.

After finishing his meal, Jin Chen didn't linger, returned to his room to change into a simple shirt, then went to the side music room; on this rare day when He Yuchuan didn't have to go to the company, he didn't disturb him much.

He Yuchuan originally wanted to chat with him, but seeing the situation he gave up and went to the study to work; Gu Yuanheng naturally followed closely behind.

The music room had a wall made entirely of floor-to-ceiling windows, facing the garden with the best view; the usual pleasant scenery today seemed somewhat strange.

The sky was dim, light only leaking through gaps in the thick clouds; the sound of the rain outside grew louder, the room had no lights on, and a piano stood by the window.

Jin Chen sat on the piano bench, gazing blankly out the window; in this setting he appeared lonely and sorrowful.

After a while, he lightly lifted his fingertips onto the keys, and a melody flowed from his fingers.

The music room and the upstairs study are only separated by an open corridor, but the study door is tightly shut and soundproofed, so outside noises cannot be heard.

The servant bringing fruit to the study heard the piano drifting from downstairs, recalled Butler Guangshu's reminder, and when opening the study door deliberately opened it wider to let the piano sound in.

The fruit tray and coffee were placed on the small side table; He Yuchuan was indeed drawn by the piano music, his gaze shifting from the screen to glance outside.

"Who is playing the piano?"

"It's the young master; Guangshu said he's been in the music room all morning, playing for an entire morning."

The servant hurriedly replied, not saying anything she shouldn't.

Gu Yuanheng frowned at the servant, silently cursing her for meddling.

He Yuchuan rose and moved closer to the door, hearing it more clearly; it was clearly someone without emotion, yet from this melodious piano piece he sensed sorrow and loneliness.

【Villain Heartthrob Value +5, total 25!】

Hearing the system prompt, the boy playing the piano merely twitched his eyelashes, his face growing paler.

At that moment, the piano music stopped abruptly, followed by a loud bang like the sound of someone falling to the ground.

He Yuchuan's face changed instantly; without thinking further he flung the door open and ran downstairs.

"Hey, Young Master Gu, have some coffee; this is freshly ground by the pastry chef at the manor, you'll surely like it."

Seeing Gu Yuanheng also wanting to follow, the servant instructed by the butler quickly stopped him and placed the coffee cup in his hand.

"The Young Master will be back soon; you should just enjoy the coffee."

After saying that, the servant set the empty tray aside and actually began cleaning the study's ornaments.

It was obvious they were trying to stop Gu Yuanheng from leaving.

Gu Yuanheng could obviously see that, and knowing these servants were acting on the butler's orders made him furious beyond measure.

Downstairs music room.

He Yuchuan shoved the door open and saw Jin Chen sitting dazed on the carpet, his face pale and forlorn, the room dim and gloomy as if it were its own world.

Hearing the door open, Jin Chen startled, lifted his eyes, and instinctively tried to hide his hands behind him.

It was this motion that let He Yuchuan see the red swelling in Jin Chen's palm, likely from when he had just fallen and braced himself on the ground.

Jin Chen's throat moved as he suppressed his emotions, slowly rising from the ground, his stature still slightly unsteady.

He Yuchuan hurried forward to support him, but as he reached out Jin Chen stepped back to avoid him, his fingers grasping at air; he could only clench his fist and lower it, a blue vein bulging on the back of his hand.

"Are you still feeling unwell?"

His soft voice held the utmost sincere concern.

Jin Chen merely shook his head, forcing out a smile.

"No, don't worry."

"How could he have fallen?" Looking at the boy's complexion, He Yuchuan knew it couldn't be nothing; it looked a bit like low blood sugar, but he didn't dare to hastily conclude.

He wanted to call for the doctor from Zhuang Yuan, but was stopped by Jin Chen.

The fingertips gripping his arm were even ice‑cold, and they didn't cling to his arm as before; seeing him turn and stop, they let go.

"Brother, I'm really fine, just a moment ago I was careless."

Again avoiding.

He Yuchuan finally felt some anger rise; just as he was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted by a male voice from the tablet on the piano stand.

"What'swrong? chen?"

He stared for a moment, turned his head to look, and Jin Chen also sat down again, explaining to the person opposite.
