The poorest rich man novel (Chen Hao) novel Chapter 187

“My grandmother used to wear this bracelet. Because I own nothing else as valuable as this, I can only offer this as a compensation...”

Chen Hao came up with a lie.

“Damn, Chen Hao, do you have any idea how much it's worth? Are you sure you won’t regret giving it to Qin Ya? You can still take it back now!”

The restlessness in Zhao Tongtong’s heart finally dissipated.

Damn, she was so shocked just now by the fact that Chen Hao was able to afford that Cloud of Dragon Jade Bracelet which was worth two hundred thousand. Could he be a rich guy trying to keep a low profile?

In fact, Zhao Tongtong did not look down on him.

To her, Chen Hao was just a loser. She just felt unconvinced if he were to transform into a rich guy all of a sudden.

Luckily, he was not rich.

“I had no idea back then, but now I have realised it’s true worth. I have no regrets. Qin Ya, just take it!”

With that, he shoved the jade bracelet back to Qin Ya.

Chen Hao had no choice but to go along with his lies seeing the awkwardness of the scene. He just could not take back what he had offered someone as a gift.

As for Qin Ya, she was staring at Chen Hao with her eyes widened.

This jade bracelet is extremely valuable. I bet this must be the most expensive thing from his family. Does he really want to give it to me just like this?

At the thought of this, Qin Ya’s heart was filled with warmth.

As for Li Yue, he was exasperated.

He was thrown into a humiliating situation that he did not expect to be in.

It was especially awful as the girl he admired most was around. If he stayed on any longer, he would be in a much more embarrassing situation.

Shooting a vicious glare toward Chen Hao, Li Yue stomped off angrily.

No doubt, Chen Hao was reluctant to stay there any longer too.

He wanted a quick end to the matter. Therefore, he decided to skip breakfast.

Otherwise, the scene would get even more awkward.

With an excuse, he descended the stairs and left.

“Chen Hao, stop right there!”

With the jade bracelet given by Chen Hao in her hand, Qin Ya made a dash downstairs.

She put on a shy look before giving the jade bracelet back to Chen Hao and said, “What do you mean by giving me this? Why do you give me your grandmother’s bracelet? Moreover, my broken bracelet wasn’t worth this much as well!”

“Ah? I mean nothing by that. Just take it as a compensation!”

It would simply be too embarrassing for him to even ask her whether she would like to exchange it with another bracelet that cost fifty thousand.

“What’s that? This is the most valuable thing from your family. Moreover, your grandmother had left this bracelet to you. Surely she had meant it for her future granddaughter-in-law. Why are you even giving me this? When you left earlier, did you know what Zhao Tongtong and the other girls said?”

Qin Ya’s face went slightly red.

Being a classy beauty, a lot of guys were interested in Qin Ya. However, only a handful of them had managed to move her heart.

Qin Ya was not interested in Chen Hao right away after receiving the Cloud of Dragon Jade Bracelet from him.

She was slightly moved by his gesture, but at the same time, an indescribable feeling grew in her heart toward Chen Hao who had helped her before.

To her, Chen Hao was a very honest and genuine man. He was quite a rare breed.

He was studious and very hardworking.

She was really impressed by his personality.

Chen Hao asked, “What did Zhao Tongtong and the girls say?”

“I have no idea…” Qin Ya rolled her eyes at him before continuing, “Anyway, please take this back. It’s too valuable and I won’t accept it.”

“Please keep it. We are going to graduate soon. When the next semester begins, there will be less opportunity to stay in school. I am afraid I won’t have the chance to compensate you then.” Chen Hao smiled bitterly.

“Tehee! ”

Qin Ya found his words hilarious and said, “Chen Hao, do you really hate the feeling of owing to others?”

“Yes, yes!” Chen Hao nodded his head.

“Very well then, I will keep this in my possession first, and return it to you when you plan to get married!”

The corners of Qin Ya’s mouth revealed a slight grin.

“Great!”

Seeing that Qin Ya had finally accepted his gift, he thought that the whole incident had come to an end. And so, he turned around and left.

“Hey hey hey, Chen Hao!”

Qin Ya scurried over to catch up with him and said, “Aren’t you even curious about how am I going to contact you when you are going to marry? Aren’t you going to even ask for my number?”

“Hmm… Very well, I will add you on WeChat. When I plan to get married, I will inform you!”

Chen Hao had no idea what else to say.

He could not bring himself to turn her down and leave. After all, he would feel bad to embarrass her in this way.

Hence, Chen Hao added Qin Ya on WeChat according to her wish.

It went without saying, the idea of such a beautiful girl falling in love with him had never come across his mind.

Even though they had added each other on WeChat, it was not guaranteed that they would start chatting with each other right away.

Therefore, he did not think much about this.

As for Qin Ya, she went back upstairs with the jade bracelet from Chen Hao. As the bracelet was put into a box without an outer packaging that would reveal any other information, the girls completely believed Chen Hao’s story.

“Qin Ya, did he refuse to take it back?”

At the sight of Qin Ya, the girls raised the question while laughing.

“Hahaha, my guess is spot-on! I can guarantee that Chen Hao has fallen in love with you, Qin Ya. Also, it’s not just a crush. It means a lot by giving you the most valuable thing from his family!”

Zhao Tongtong made the comment confidently.

“Exactly. Also, no one has paid attention to this but I noticed the way Chen Hao was looking at Qin Ya. He was so worried that Qin Ya would refuse the bracelet!”

“Alas, everyone knows that this kind of bracelet is usually reserved for the future wife of the son in a family. Haha, Chen Hao is quite a smart guy!”

The other girls chimed in.

“Ok, enough you guys. Chen Hao’s not as complicated as you all have described. Stop teasing him anymore in the future!”

Qin Ya criticized with a bitter smile.

“Wow Qin Ya, you are already taking Chen Hao’s side. Argh!!!! Qin Ya, are you… ”

Zhao Tongtong widened her eyes in feigned surprise.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Tongtong, I will buy three plates of buns for you and shove them all down your mouth so that you would stop talking!”

The girls chatted and laughed boisterously.

Meanwhile, Chen Hao did not enter the library as it was already full by the time he arrived.

Carrying the books, he decided to return to his dorm to study.

Unexpectedly, when he was going to have lunch with Yang Hui and the gang, Qin Ya sent him a WeChat message.

“Chen Hao, where are you going to have lunch later?”

Qin Ya asked.

“I’ll be heading to the canteen with my roommates. What’s going on?”

Chen Hao was slightly taken aback by her message.

“Oh, you are with your roommates. I wanted to ask you out for a meal, since you have helped me twice before.”

“Twice?”

“That’s right. You carried me to the infirmary, and even helped get rid of Li Yue who keeps pestering me. Haha, he was too embarrassed to even contact me. I am finally able to have a peaceful mind!”

“Cough cough. Actually, Li Yue is quite a good guy, and he likes you a lot!”

“What do you mean by that? Does that mean you’ll give us your blessing if Li Yue and I become a couple?”

“I don’t mean that!”

“Even if you really mean it, I won’t accept someone whom I have no feelings for. By the way, I will study at the library later and reserve a seat for you. Come join me during my revision, we can be study partners!”

Staring at the message on the screen, Chen Hao had no idea how to reply.

He was sure that Qin Ya had no feelings for him.

However, he always felt uneasy whenever he was around Qin Ya. He was worried that he might fall in love with her one day.

After pondering it over, he decided to keep a distance from her.

In the end, he did not reply to her.

He then went to have lunch at the canteen with Yang Hui and the gang.

After lunch, he did not go to the library. Instead, he stayed back in his dorm to do his revision.

In the blink of an eye, the day came to an end.

Just then, Qin Ya sent him another message saying, “Why didn’t you show up? I have reserved a seat for you, and I have waited for you since 1.30pm. Were you busy with something?”
