Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 699 - 671 Switcheroo
Lin Tian quickly ran to He Qianqian's side, intending to give her the pearl right there and then.
However, He Qianqian was surrounded by a crowd, including several reporters who hurried over.
The crowd wasn't too bad; they just asked some pointless questions and took a few photos with their phones, but the presence of a camera meant Lin Tian couldn't go unnoticed.
He grabbed He Qianqian's hand and they quickly ran away, escaping the sight of those people, and then, they checked into a hotel room.
Lin Tian held He Qianqian's hand and said, "Big wife, close your eyes, I have something wonderful for you."
"What is it? Why the mystery?" the big wife asked as she obediently sat on the bed and tightly closed her eyes.
He took out the pearl and said, "Open your eyes now!"
The pearl was dazzling, lit up by the setting sun, its afterglow illuminating the entire sky.
"What is this, it's so blinding!"
He Qianqian complained that the pearl was too close, making it hard for her to even open her eyes.
Lin Tian stepped back a few paces, and He Qianqian slowly opened her eyes.
"Wow...!"
He Qianqian exclaimed, her eyes fixed on the pearl as if she were looking at the most beautiful sight in the world.
It was so beautiful, truly magnificent.
Women naturally have a special affection for things like diamonds and jewels, but such a dazzling pearl made even a ten-carat diamond look feeble by comparison.
"It's so beautiful!" He Qianqian couldn't help but exclaim.
"The most beautiful pearl for the most beautiful you in my eyes!"
"Do you like it?" Lin Tian asked, knowing full well.
"Wow... I love it, I absolutely love it...!"
He Qianqian grabbed the pearl, gave Lin Tian a kiss, and then immediately ran to the mirror.
Holding the pearl, she looked at it from the left, right, front and back, absolutely thrilled with it.
She was totally obsessed.
Lin Tian secretly watched from behind. He Qianqian was naturally a stunning beauty, and with the radiant pearl, the beauty and the jewel complemented each other perfectly. Unknowingly, Lin Tian again found himself losing control.
Don't blame him for being lecherous; blame the big wife for being too enchanting.
He slowly embraced He Qianqian from behind. She struggled slightly at first, then let Lin Tian have his way.
After their bout of intimacy, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. He Qianqian, holding the pearl and lying naked in Lin Tian's arms, suggested, "How about we turn the pearl into a necklace?"
"Sure."
Lin Tian nodded in agreement. Since he had given the pearl to He Qianqian, it was naturally up to her to decide what to do with it, as long as she was happy.
But looking outside where it had gotten dark, he said, "Let's go to the jewelry store tomorrow. It's too late today. Let's do something else."
"Do what?" He Qianqian asked absentmindedly.
Immediately after, Lin Tian pounced on her, naturally climbing on top of her.
"No, please, spare me, spare me...!"
..., ....
The next day, as soon as it was light, He Qianqian got up exceptionally early and mercilessly yanked Lin Tian, who was still in his dreams, out of bed, saying, "Come on, husband, get up, get up! Come with me to the jewelry store."
Lin Tian picked up his phone, checked the time, and thought, oh come on, it's only six o'clock.
Because of the pearl, the first wife had already lost her reason.
Lin Tian complained groggily, "First wife, the jewelry store doesn't open until nine o'clock. It's only six now, are we going to stand in the freezing wind outside their door? Come on, let's sleep a bit more."
He Qianqian nodded slightly, guilt written all over her face as she stared at Lin Tian. She felt a bit embarrassed for waking him up so early.
She kissed Lin Tian as compensation, and after lying down for a while, she went out to buy breakfast. At eight o'clock, the two of them set out on time for the jewelry store.
Lin Tian made some inquiries and found the largest jewelry store nearby, valued at a couple of billion dollars, comparable to Mengting Jewelry.
According to He Qianqian's idea, she wanted to surround the large pearl with dozens of smaller pearls to make a pearl necklace to wear around her neck.
He Qianqian approached the manager of the jewelry store with her request. The manager nodded in agreement, telling He Qianqian that the necklace could be made in two hours.
Immediately after, Lin Tian paid the deposit and followed He Qianqian to a nearby mall to stroll around.
After wandering for two hours, the two went back to the jewelry store.
He Qianqian was somewhat excited, eagerly searching for the manager.
"Is my pearl necklace ready?"
The manager looked a bit unusual, his eyes shifty as if he had done something wrong.
He nervously said, "It… It's ready!"
His tone was trembling, laced with fear.
He Qianqian didn't notice anything unusual, but Lin Tian caught all of this.
Soon, a strand of pearl necklace was brought out and handed to He Qianqian.
"Wow, it's beautiful, honey, isn't it beautiful?"
He Qianqian eagerly put it on and couldn't wait to show Lin Tian.
Lin Tian didn't focus on the pearl necklace but instead fixated on the manager's gaze.
He saw that the manager's eyes occasionally glanced toward He Qianqian, watching her every move.
Lin Tian felt something was off, and he approached He Qianqian with displeasure showing on his face.
"Honey, what's wrong? Look at this pearl necklace, isn't it beautiful?"
He Qianqian eagerly awaited Lin Tian's response, longing to hear him say "beautiful."
But at that moment, Lin Tian had no interest in watching He Qianqian, because he noticed something unusual about the pearls.
Or rather, the pearls on the necklace right now were not Lin Tian's original pearls.
They were switched.
The pearls on this necklace and Lin Tian's original pearl were the same size and equally dazzling, as if cut from the same mold, but what set them apart was that these pearls had no energy fluctuations, whereas Lin Tian's pearl had very powerful energy fluctuations.
It definitely had been switched by someone.
Lin Tian was certain of this.
He was furious, enraged to the point of wanting to explode.
He risked his life to retrieve that pearl, and now it had been easily switched by someone else.
What's more, it was a gift Lin Tian had given to He Qianqian, who adored that pearl, and now it had been swapped.
This outrage was something Lin Tian couldn't suppress. Today, even if it meant overturning the heavens, he was determined to get his pearl back.
A terrifying surge of superpower fluctuations erupted from his body, filling the entire jewelry store with a terrifying killing aura. Some of the staff and customers, not understanding what was happening, instinctively stepped back, but the manager, trembling all over, sweat dripping down his face, seemed as though he had done something wrong and had been caught.
The killing intent released by Lin Tian made even He Qianqian feel afraid. She hugged Lin Tian, asking concernedly, "Honey, what's really wrong?"
