Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 863

Queeny also leaned in. She leaned her whole body beside him for the convenience of watching, and their heads almost met.

After a while she asked in a low voice, “Do you see anything?”

Felix frowned slightly. “It's not the same one from four years ago,” he said darkly.

“What?”

Queeny stared at him in surprise.

Felix put it down, turned his head, and noticed that she had moved in.

They were so close that he could easily smell the faint scent of lavender in her hair. He suddenly felt a little nervous.

But soon, pretending not to notice that, he hid his nervousness and, moved a little closer to her quietly.

He picked it up and explained in front of her, “Look at the texture on this one, it’s different from the one from four years ago."

Hearing his words, Queeny really noticed that.

Only, she hadn’t looked at it carefully, so her memory was hazy. She could only vaguely remember it, but it did seem a little different.

“On the previous one, the texture was horizontal, and on this one it was vertical, and the shape of each character was different,” Felix explained.

Queeny frowned.

“So, these aren’t the same thing?”

Felix nodded.

He put it down, got up, grabbed his laptop, and sat back down.

He turned on the computer and pulled out the information he had asked people to look up and showed it to her.

“There are twelve pieces of jade in the Celestial Book, according to my research, and each one has a name. That piece we got earlier was called Libra. Based on the texture and symbols above, this one can be guessed to be Gemini.

Queeny was stunned, “Gemini?”

“Yes.”

Felix turned the computer screen toward her for a closer look.

Queeny roughly scanned all the information and memorized it in her mind.

“So, the Zaccardi Family weren't the ones who started the fight?”

Felix frowned. “I can’t be sure yet.”

They knew now that it was not the same piece that had gone missing four years earlier, but somehow, in his gut, he knew it had something to do with the Zaccardi Family.

Queeny saw this and did not pursue it further.

Instead, she took the piece of jade, held it up to the lamplight, and said: “Do you think this thing really has the magical effects as in legend?”

Felix looked at her gently. “You can try,” he said.

“What?”

Queeny turned her head and looked at him blankly.

Felix laughed. “Isn’t it supposed to make you immortal? Try wearing it for decades. If you really don't get older, then maybe it works.”

Queeny realized that he was teasing her.

She scowled at him. “Go away.”

Felix smiled.

For a moment, however, she wondered.

“We all know it's a treasure, and the Zaccardi family doesn't need money. What do you think they mean by auctioning it?”

Felix shrugged.

In fact, he really didn't know what they were up to.

Since they were neither for money nor profit, they probably had some other ulterior motive.

His heart sank a little as he thought.

At last, he said, “Let’s see what happens. At present they were just bringing it out. They haven't done anything yet, but if they have a purpose, they will do something. So don't worry, they’ll make their intentions known.
