Capítulo 1103: Chapter 1103: Framed (Part 2)
“Okay.” Gong Sirui smiled indulgently and reached up to touch her head.
Then he frowned, “Yuexian, why aren’t you wearing your hair clip today?”
Her style was always a cutesy, girlish look, and she liked to pin an exquisite hair clip to her hair. He always enjoyed teasing her little hair clip, and it felt odd not to see it today.
Yan Yuexian paused, “I did wear it.”
As she spoke, she reached up to touch her hair, “Oh, where’s my hair clip?”
After searching for a few moments without finding it, she started to panic, “Oh no, I might have lost it. What should I do?”
“Don’t worry, which hair clip were you wearing?”
“It was the one you gave me, the one you designed yourself,” Yan Yuexian said with a hint of shyness in her urgency.
It was a token of their relationship.
Gong Sirui furrowed his brows, “Maybe it’s lost. Let’s look for it.”
Xia Weibao stood nearby, her gaze seemingly casual, yet she was attentively observing Yan Yuexian’s expressions, which did not seem fake.
It appeared she wasn’t aware.
At this moment, Yan Weiyang and Zhang Fanfan exchanged a glance.
Zhang Fanfan suddenly spoke up, “Yuexian, is it the diamond-encrusted hair clip? The one shaped like a willow leaf, very unique.”
“Yes, did you see it?” Yan Yuexian looked at Zhang Fanfan with hopeful eyes.
Zhang Fanfan chuckled, “I saw it on your head when I first arrived.”
“Huh?” Yan Yuexian blinked, “Then it might have fallen here.”
Saying this, she lowered her head and searched around, but didn’t find it.
Gong Sirui joined in the search, but still couldn’t locate it.
“That doesn’t make sense, Fanfan, are you sure you saw me wearing it here?”
“Definitely, I just arrived and met you for the first time today. Where else could it be?”
Yan Yuexian became more anxious, “Then why can’t we find it?”
“Could it have been stolen?” Zhang Fanfan suddenly suggested.
As soon as these words were uttered, the expressions of those present turned slightly disdainful.
In high society, theft is looked down upon.
Xia Weibao remained calm and silent, staying as a mere observer while scanning over Yan Yuexian’s waist bow, finding no evidence of the hair clip hidden there.
Initially, due to the tension between Xia Weibao and Yan Weiyang, a small group had gathered around, but now the commotion grew, drawing an even larger crowd.
They were all whispering among themselves.
“What’s going on over there? Did something happen?”
“Not sure, seems like someone lost something.”
“What? No way, at an event like this, everyone here is a person of status and reputation, how could there be a thief…”
Seeing the crowd grow, Yan Yuexian felt a bit overwhelmed and didn’t want the situation to escalate.
“Perhaps I lost it somewhere else. I’ll search again.”
Zhang Fanfan swept a sarcastic glance over Xia Weibao’s face and then looked at Yan Yuexian with an expression full of concern, “Yuexian, I definitely saw the clip on your head just now. You haven’t left here, so how could it be lost elsewhere?”
“Fanfan, could you have been mistaken?”
Zhang Fanfan remained unchanged, “Impossible, such a beautiful and dazzling hair clip, how could I be mistaken? Weiyang saw it too, why don’t you ask her?”
Yan Weiyang’s face froze for a moment; she didn’t want to be dragged into this matter.
If Yan Lingyi and Yan Fei suspected this was related to her, her position in the Yan Family would be precarious.
The displeasure was fleeting, quickly masked by her, as she chuckled, “I seem to have seen it, why don’t you search again, Yuexian?”
