She knew very well that she should not take the necklace. Her adoptive sister would find out sooner or later.
Staring at the sparkling sapphire necklace, she took a deep breath, paused for a while, and eventually made up her mind. With the box clenched tightly in her palm, she hastily fixed the wardrobe as how it should originally be and dashed out of the room!
She headed straight to her bedroom and panted nervously, feeling guilty. Her pounding heart only managed to calm down after she had stashed the necklace in her drawer.
She tried to console herself. Her adoptive sister was not wearing it anyway, so she might as well take it.
Even if Yun Shishi saw her with the necklace, her adoptive sister could not prove that it belonged to her. After all, there were so many of this kind in the world.

She just wanted to have this necklace!
When she attended the gala tonight, she would wow the crowd. Afterward, she would no longer need to play second-fiddle to her adoptive sister!
She was, nonetheless, ridden with guilt because of her deed, so she quickly packed the things she stole and left after giving He Lingxiang a call.
Yun Shishi returned to her room after the morning run, intending to get ready for the reception later that night. She was shocked to find the room in a mess. The gown and necklace she had prepared for tonight’s event were missing. She panicked momentarily.
Youyou was equally alarmed and suspected a thief until he saw Yun Na’s earring on the floor. His heart sank when he realized who the culprit was.

Yun Shishi’s phone screen lighted up with an unfamiliar number; she picked up the call after some hesitation.
“Hello?”
“Shishi, are you at your house?” Gu Xingze’s warm and polite voice came through.
“Er... yes.”
“Great! Are you staying at Peace District? I’ll be there soon.”
“Er! We have a little sticky situation at hand.” She rubbed her chin in frustration. Taking another look at her room, she sighed in resignation. “I’m very sorry; I don’t think I can attend tonight’s gala with you.”
“What’s the matter?”

“What happened?”
She told him the situation, “The gown... I’m not sure how, but it is missing along with the necklace you borrowed...”
“Lost?”
“I’m not sure. The room was in a mess when I got home. I forgot to lock the door...”
Gu Xingze sighed in relief at that. “Oh, I thought something major happened!”
His agent, Qin Zhou, who was standing next to him, cried in frustration.
“What?! My god! That necklace is the one and only precious gem from EMPRESS! How could she lose that?!”
