Gu Mohan’s magnetic voice resonated through the phone.
At this mont, Tang Mo’er fell onto the floor, hugging both her knees as she collapsed on the soft woolen carpet. The bright lights from outside the window reflected onto her pale face, which was covered in tears. Wiping away her tears, she gave a bitter smile that he couldn’t see. “Mr Gu, where are you now?”
Gu Mohan lowered his voice and said in a gentler tone, “I’m a little busy today. You’d better eat your als and rest well, okay?”
“Oh, then are you coming ho tonight?”
Gu Mohan was silent for a few seconds before answering, “Why? Do you miss ? I need to work overti tonight. I’ll accompany you tomorrow, hm?”
Oh, I suppose that ans you’re not coming ho tonight.
Of course. It was Lu Qi’er and his wedding engagent celebration that night. Considering the guest list Qi Xi seed to be raving about, there must be an exclusive engagent banquet.
Tang Mo’er stretched out her hands with the diamond ring etched on her creamy skin. “Sure, okay. I’ll let you go then. I’m tired, I’ll sleep first.”
She hung up imdiately after speaking.
At this mont, the maid walked over and asked hesitantly, “Miss Tang, are you finished with the call?”
“Yes, thank you.” Tang Mo’er passed the cell phone back to the maid.
The maid left the room and closed the door. Tang Mo’er sat alone, hugging her knees in a child-like manner as she rocked back and forth. As she buried her face into her arms, her arms starting to tremble, silent sobs wracking through her body as her heart throbbed in pain. There was a silent and desperate cry in the empty room.
...
At the engagent banquet.
The engagent banquet of Gu Mohan and Lu Qi’er seed to be the congregation of all the wealthy and influential mbers of high society in Karghalik. Gu Tianling had arrived, it was a pity that the only person who did not turn up was Lu Jinwen.
Lu Jinwen had created his business empire at the age of 16 and had beco a living legend, who nobody could match up to. However, after Lin Xuanji died, he disappeared out of everyone’s sight and had never been seen again. After twenty years, his existence was an enigma as he had not shown himself in over two decades.
Dressed elegantly in a white V-neck gauze dress, Lu Qi’er stepped out to greet the guests with a radiant smile on her face. Designed by a renowned French designer, her dress was covered in resplendent rhinestones which only served to accentuate Lu Qi’er’s beauty.
With the expected grace of society’s number one socialite, she spoke elegantly with practiced ease towards the affluent guests in the large hall. Lin Ruoxi stood at the back with everyone, congratulating her and giving her their blessings.
At this mont, one of the rich madams said, “Miss Lu, tonight is your engagent with Mr Gu. Why aren’t you wearing the One and Only ring?”
The One and Only ring?
Lu Qi’er stiffened and her smile beca frozen.
“Oh that’s right, Miss Lu. Quickly show us the One and Only ring. Back when Madam Xuanji created DHA Diamonds, she designed a lot of classic jewelry. However, for so unknown reason, Madam Xuanji never designed any ring. The only ring she ever designed was this One and Only ring. I heard the aning behind the ring is truly special. As it’s the only ring of its kind, if is only ant to be given to soone once in their lifeti together, to give to the person they love the most. It’s one of a kind and truly priceless! How special!”
“Miss Lu, Mr Gu would definitely give you the One and Only ring! Won’t you show it to us?” The other rich madams echoed.
Lu Qi’er’s face was stiff and becoming more and more pale. Her ring finger was completely empty as Gu Mohan had not given her any ring.
Pursing her lips, she responded quickly, “It’s only the wedding engagent tonight. The One and Only ring is too precious, Brother Mohan wants to wait until our wedding before he puts the One and Only ring on my finger. He said it will have more aning on our wedding day.”
“Ah, that’s true. Miss Lu, it looks like you’re going to beco Mrs Gu soon. We’ll congratulate you first then.”
Lu Qi’er thanked them graciously. She cast a secret glance towards Gu Mohan. Gu Mohan’s custom-made black suit shone brightly under the crystal chandelier. With one hand in his pocket while the other held a glass of red wine, he looked exceptionally handso tonight. Several older CEOs surrounded him and talked to him, while he listened to them in a composed and indifferent manner.
