Chapter 29 - Stone Bracelet

Li Tian returned to the villa later that afternoon, and upon seeing him, Wang Ma wondered why he was home so early.

Li Tian simply told her that he needed to get ready to attend a banquet with Lin Yi on that night.

Wang Ma knew well enough that these banquets were inevitable for the rich. Ordinary people wouldn't even have the opportunity to attend events like this, as they were exclusively for the social circle of the rich.

Li Tian could care less about getting a new outfit. Oh heck, he didn't even want to attend Chen Jia Jun's banquet in the first place!

When he arrived at his room, he simply opened his suitcase and found a few shirts within. He pulled out a random shirt and quickly changed into it.

He also put on the jacket which Lin Yi had previously bought for him.

Li Tian never asked about the clothes, but he figured that it wasn't like Wang Ma to buy them, so it must be Lin Yi.

Did I look too shabby?

Anyway, Armani wasn't that expensive.

After Li Tian changed into his clothes, he glanced at his reflection in the mirror and thought to himself, hmm, not bad at all.

It was undeniable that Li Tian had a great figure. He was very muscular and had visible six-pack abs underneath his thin shirt.

Even though there were people who had trained to the point of achieving eight packs, Li Tian was still confident in himself. With his physique and his skills, he would never lose a fight.

He had even heard that there were people who achieved nine-pack abs, but it was all in vain as they soon melted into flab.

An example would be Lin Yi's father. He had some abs in his youth, but those abs had turned into belly fat as he grew older.

Give it another 5 to 10 more years, and Li Tian would also have a beer belly.

Li Tian quickly tidied up his room and found that he had some time to spare. Hence, he decided to take a nap.

He could care less about being late to the banquet.

However, whilst he was packing his stuff away, he found something in his suitcase.

It was a bracelet, a black bracelet.

It wasn't a pearl bracelet, nor a sandalwood bracelet. It was a stone bracelet.

He looked at the engraved letters on the stone bracelet and immediately fished the bracelet out of his suitcase.

"Didn't I give this to Yu Han? Why is it here?"

Li Tian remembered that he had given the stone bracelet to Qin Yu Han, so he didn't expect to see it there.

"Nevermind, I'll just give it to Lin Yi as a token of appreciation for these clothes."

Li Tian tucked the stone bracelet into his pocket, and he slowly drifted off to sleep.

...

When he woke up, Lin Yi was already back home. Contrary to Li Tian, Lin Yi seemed as though she had put in a lot of effort to dress up for the banquet.

Li Tian had never seen her wear this dress.

It was a red dress, which hung loosely on her glamorous body. Li Tian was in awe at the sight of Lin Yi.

"Honey, you're the best model in your company. I swear, first place will be yours if you wear this to the Fashion Week in Paris."

Lin Yi didn't respond to Li Tian's praises and just continued to pack her stuff.

She was a little disappointed when she returned home to see Li Tian sleeping. After all, it was a gathering for those of the upper class in Jiangdu. Word would spread like wildfire if Li Tian were to embarrass himself.

However, Lin Yi quickly shook that thought off and hoped that Li Tian wouldn't humiliate himself in front of so many people.

When Lin Yi had finished packing, Li Tian came over to her and said shyly, "The clothes... Did you get them for me?"

Lin Yi was surprised to see Li Tian looking all red and embarrassed.

"Yeah, I got them while shopping with my mum."

Lin Yi would never say that she had purposely gone out to buy him things.

"Oh, that's good then."

Li Tian just wanted confirmation that those clothes were indeed from her. After that, he reached into his pocket and gave the stone bracelet to Lin Yi.

"Here, this is for you. I hope it'll suit you."

Lin Yi didn't know how to react when she saw the stone bracelet. To her, it looked like one of those bracelets that people sold for 10 bucks at some tourist attraction.

However, she didn't say anything and just took the bracelet after thanking Li Tian.

After all, she had never expected anything in return, although the shirts that she had bought for Li Tian did cost over ten thousand dollars.

After seeing Lin Yi's reaction, Li Tian didn't explain further. He didn't know what to say about the bracelet's worth anyway.

Usually, Lin Yi would be the one driving, but it wouldn't look good if she had personally driven there to attend the banquet. As Li Tian didn't have a driving license, Wang Ma drove the two of them there.

Lin Yi certainly didn't want to be stopped on the way for illegal driving, so she could only ask for Wang Ma's help.

Yunding Hotel was a famous hotel in Jiangdu city. It was a part of a huge hotel chain that had branches in the capital city as well.

The five-star hotel which specialized in entertainment and relaxing stays was a favorite amongst the members of Jiangdu's upper class. Their membership card was a reflection of the card holder's status.

Lin Yi's net worth was more than 10 million dollars, but she only had a silver tier membership, despite spending over half a million each year in the hotel.

As for gold and diamond members, yearly spendings must exceed two million dollars and five million dollars respectively. Of course, these members would enjoy more perks and benefits.

For example, a diamond membership card was needed to rent the banquet hall today. That said, it was obvious that Chen Jia Jun owned a diamond membership card.

When they arrived at the hotel, Lin Yi passed the invitation card to Wang Ma to show to the staff. They were then ushered to the top floor.

"The owner of Yunding Hotels sure isn't someone ordinary. After countless years, no one has ever dared to cause trouble here."

All of a sudden, Lin Yi murmured as if she was talking to herself. However, Li Tian knew that her words were directed at him. She was clearly worried that Li Tian would do something rash.
