The phone rang twice before it was connected, and Gu Ningyi’s uniquely cool voice ca through, interwoven with threads of softness, "Xinyan."
Not sure if the shock in her heart had passed yet, Dong Xin Yan listened to his voice, her heart skipped a beat, she swallowed, and then softly spoke, "Mr. Gu, um... I received the things you had Secretary Lin send over."
Gu Ningyi did not respond imdiately, Dong Xin Yan heard him say sothing on the other end, as if pausing so eting. Dong Xin Yan hadn’t expected he would be in a eting, hurriedly saying, "Mr. Gu, if you’re in a eting, I won’t disturb you. I’ll call you later."
"No need."
Gu Ningyi replied lightly. Then Dong Xin Yan heard the sound of a chair moving, the rustle of clothes, and finally the faint sound of footsteps.
He seed to have walked to a quieter place before continuing, "The gift, do you like it?"
Like it.
Of course, she liked it.
Which woman wouldn’t like glamorous jewelry, beautiful clothes, and shoes?
Only, given the relationship between her and Gu Ningyi, how could she accept such an expensive gift from him?
So, even though she was a bit reluctant, she still replied with difficulty, word by word, "I do like it, but it’s too valuable, I can’t accept it. However... if you just want to lend it to for an evening, I could accept that. I’ll be careful not to damage it."
Gu Ningyi chuckled softly, "It’s already yours, no need to borrow it."
"But..."
"Xinyan, you gave a gift, this is a return gift, you can accept it."
Gu Ningyi decisively interrupted Dong Xin Yan, his voice gentle, calm, yet with an undeniable tone.
You can accept it...
These four words struck Dong Xin Yan right in the heart, making her montarily dizzy.
Oh my, is this the privilege of being friends with soone wealthy?
She only gave Gu Ningyi a coat, and he returned with such an extravagantly expensive gift... the price wasn’t even comparable!
Dong Xin Yan was dizzy for a while before she could gather her thoughts and weakly said, "The price of the gift I gave you doesn’t even co close to a fraction of what you gave ...
"In my heart, it’s very precious."
This was the first gift she had given him, and it was also her heartfelt intention. This intention was more precious than anything in the world, sothing no amount of money could compare to.
Gu Ningyi’s few words left Dong Xin Yan speechless.
She never thought Gu Ningyi would place so much importance on her gift, and yet it was a mistakenly sent gift, really... making her feel flattered and even subtly moved, leaving her slightly embarrassed not to accept his return gift.
But the dress and shoes, she could grit her teeth and accept, however, the Heart of the Ocean, she absolutely could not accept.
But at this mont, she couldn’t directly refuse, only hoping to find a way to return it after tonight.
Dong Xin Yan lightly bit her lower lip, smiled softly, her voice gentle, "Mr. Gu, thank you, I will perform well tonight and not embarrass you."
"Hmm, I’ll be waiting."
Gu Ningyi’s voice carried a hint of laughter, "In the evening, I’ll co back to pick you up."
"Okay."
Gu Ningyi paused for a mont, his voice tenderly sounded, "Xinyan, stop calling Mr. Gu, from now on... call by my na."
