The jade pendant traced a perfect parabola in the air, and Zhao Zun quickly reacted and grabbed it. In that instant, his heart sank sharply, as though there was a hole in it.
Fortunately, the Love Lock landed steadily in his palm.
Zhao Zun let out a huge sigh of relief.
Of course he knew this thing wasn't a token of affection; it was merely a ruse he concocted to trick Han Lei into wearing it around her neck.
But he couldn't reveal that!
As long as they weren't married, not a single day passed where he dared to tell Han Lei what it really was.

Han Lei came from another world, and although she was charming and gentle, her thoughts were too independent, not the kind of woman who could live merely by her husband's will. He feared their month-long relationship was too fragile and feared even more that Han Lei might leave him at any moment. So, he had to use the Love Lock to strengthen their relationship.
