Chapter 518: My Life Is Yours, Do Whatever You Want

historical

Shen Qianshu felt a chill in her heart. She had heard of both the Hope Diamond and Black Orlav Diamond that Ye Ling just mentioned. Indeed, they were jewels that would bring bad luck. It seemed like these jewels were cursed, so although they cost a bomb, they brought unspeakable bad luck.

But she had never heard of the blood rose!

“Back then, she had wanted to give this gem to me.” Ye Ling scoffed. “I was young and ignorant. I thought that she really cared about me, so she left me something. I carried it with me all the time. Ever since then, bad luck never left me. One year later, I went to a dinner in the Ye Residence in Europe with my father. I was kidnapped in Paris and almost killed. Along the way, I lost this jewel. That year, I was six. That day, I walked out of the deep woods all alone. I was thinking that if I had not lost the jewel, I might have already died by now.”

The memories that this gem brought to him had triggered a traumatic experience in his mind and brought back the devil in his heart. All these memories were tightly linked to the mental distraught he was caught in.

Ye Ling opened the box and looked at it intently.

Before Shen Qianshu could react, he took it out and placed it on his palm.

“Master...” Shen Qianshu’s face changed. From Ye Ling’s story, whoever last touched it would become its owner, and that must be why Ye Ling was enraged when he found out that Shen Qianshu had touched it. That led to him having a relapse as he thought about his past memories.

Now, he was controlled by the Blood Rose.

This was really an eye-catching jewel that was exceptionally beautiful.

“After one big round, things come back to me. My fate is inevitable. This has come back into my hands.” Ye Ling laughed. He looked at the blood rose intently as if he was thinking about something. Shen Qianshu twitched and reached her hand out to take it, but Ye Ling dodged. He grabbed the jewel and looked at Shen Qianshu. “It’s mine now.”

Shen Qianshu’s heart felt heavy. “Since it brings bad luck, then it can be donated away, I guess.”

Many cursed jewels were always donated away in the end.

They would be kept in museums.

For everyone to appreciate it.

“NO!” Ye Ling’s gaze darkened, and he frowned slightly. “I want to keep it.”

Shen Qianshu felt really bad. Although it was not her intention and she did not know anything about it, she felt really remorseful.

“Master, do you blame me?”

Ye Ling looked at her. “What for?”

“I brought the blood rose back and caused you to...”

“Shen Qianshu, my life is yours. If you want to love and cherish it, great. If you want to burn me into ashes, I don’t care!” Ye Ling’s voice was hoarse. In it, indifference could be heard. But so could his bottomless trust for her.

Shen Qianshu’s eyes turned red, and she hugged him tightly.

It was getting dark.

Shen Qianshu could not sleep well. It was as if she had a nightmare, and she frowned. On the other hand, the expression in Ye Ling’s eyes was obscure. Usually, she had always been able to sleep well at night, and she rarely had nightmares, but the blood rose was indeed not a good thing.

Since it was inauspicious, it should be with him.

He was an inauspicious person.

When he died, he would take it with him and not be a burden to the mother and son.

Bo Yiren woke up really early, and so did Ye Ling. The two of them met in the study room.

“Don’t speak too much around Qianshu.” Ye Ling commanded.

“Ling, don’t worry. I won’t,” Bo Yiren said calmly. “Zhong Ran said that you would be leaving to Johannesburg tomorrow. Should I tag along?”

“There’s no need for that.”

“I suggest that you bring me along just in case.”

“There’s no need!”

Bo Yiren nodded. “Fine, got it. I’m returning to my clinic.”
