"Xiao Jie, who is it?" Ling Xuejiu saw Li ngjie go to open the door, then exchange a few words and close it again, and couldn’t help but be very curious.
"A delivery person." Li ngjie chuckled, brandishing the small paper bag in her hand, saying. She definitely didn’t want Xue Jiu to know that Bei Lanfeng had co by; after all, out of consideration for Bei Yin, Xue Jiu might have opened the door for Bei Lanfeng. And then if Bei Lanfeng entered, wouldn’t he be annoyed to death?
"Hm?" Ling Xuejiu asked curiously, "What kind of delivery?"
"I ordered sothing online!" Li ngjie replied with a giggle, coming back to sit on the sofa. Then she pulled open the small bag and took out a delicate little box, muttering to herself, "What’s this thing?"
"You ordered it yourself, don’t tell you don’t even know?" Ling Xuejiu said, looking at her incredulously.
"Um, I know, how could I not know..." Li ngjie’s face turned red, but just then, the doorbell rang again.
Ling Xuejiu frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Jie, didn’t you just accept a delivery? Why is he ringing the doorbell again?"
"Ah... Um~! Don’t mind him, he’s just a lunatic," Li ngjie muttered with impatience, pouting her lips.
Ling Xuejiu said, "It could be Leng Xuan coming back for all we know."
"That..." Li ngjie said, "The Cold Bodyguard has his own key. Why would he need to ring the doorbell? Hehe."
Ling Xuejiu figured she was right and then turned her attention back to the small box in Li ngjie’s hand. By then, Li ngjie had already opened the box, and a large, lustrous pearl beca visible. The bright surface reflected the living room lights, casting a gentle glow, making it evident that it was quite valuable.
"That’s a huge pearl!" Ling Xuejiu exclaid, surprised, "Xiao Jie, that pearl must cost at least several hundred thousand, right? Why did you buy it?"
Li ngjie was also startled, not expecting Bei Lanfeng to splash out so grandly, gifting her such a sizable pearl. Nonetheless, this girl didn’t feel the slightest burden accepting sothing so expensive from soone else. She chuckled and said, "No, Xue Jiu, it’s fake. Hehe, I thought it looked nice, so I ordered it. It wasn’t much, just a few hundred dollars."
"Is that so?" Ling Xuejiu nodded, half-believing, half-doubtful. Although she was a wealthy young lady, she wasn’t very knowledgeable about jewelry, so she couldn’t discern if it was real or fake.
Bei Lanfeng pressed the doorbell a few more tis outside, but when no one ca to open the door, he took out his phone and dialed Li ngjie’s number, only to hear the ssage that the phone he was calling was switched off, which made him frustrated enough to seethe. With no response from inside and Li ngjie’s phone off, it seed pointless to stay. Wasn’t it just inviting ridicule to remain? He turned to leave but at that mont, Leng Xuan ca back.
Leng Xuan gave Bei Lanfeng an odd glance, feeling a faint surprise. Who was this guy? Then, considering he might be a friend of the two young ladies, he didn’t pay much mind and headed straight towards the villa.
Seeing Leng Xuan, Bei Lanfeng also appeared surprised. Leng Xuan didn’t have many good clothes, and the ones he wore today were worth at most two to three hundred dollars. So, Bei Lanfeng, seeing this, thought he was just a country bumpkin, and with a frown, he took a few steps to block Leng Xuan’s path, then arrogantly asked, "Hey, who are you looking for?"
