Mu Ying waited at the fountain pool until it was closed before she walked to the car parked by the side of the road.
After getting on the car, she said apologetically: "Tang Kai, I'm sorry I made you wait for so long."
Tang Kai replied respectfully, "Madam is being too courteous, my duty is to protect Madam's safety."
Mu Ying smiled lightly, "Don't call me Madam. I know that my brother will be divorced from me soon."
Tang Kai smiled and started the engine. As long as Madame is your wife in the legal sense, we will all call you that. "
Mu Ying leaned on the back of the chair tiredly and looked out the window.
The bustling streets had now quietened down. Only the city's neon lights were left shining tirelessly, even though no one was admiring them anymore.
When she returned to the apartment, she found the lights on. She had expected that Sister Teng and Xiao Luo would be waiting for her back, so she felt a little guilty.
"Sister Teng, Xiao Luo..."
She took out her slippers and changed into them, only to discover that the two people who would usually appear were completely still.
She suddenly had some doubts. Just as she was about to go to their room to take a look, she found a gift box on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
She frowned and walked over to the gift box.
It was a white box with a light purple ribbon tied to it. It was very fresh and elegant. On top of the box was a card.
TORachel.
Rachel is her English name.
She was rather surprised. Could it be that this gift was meant for her?
She untied the pale blue ribbon and opened the gift box. The next moment, she saw that the box was full of fresh red rose petals, and above the petals of the red rose lay an exquisite chain of collarbones.
The necklace, she knew, had been designed by a very romantic French jewelry designer. The design was simple, with a thin platinum chain, and the pendant was a very round and plump pearl, also very small, but it was said that the pearl had been taken out of the shell of a clam that had lived for over a hundred years. It was as hard as a diamond, and the experts said that the pearl was always so pure white and bright that it was the only pearl in the world.
Who had bought the collarbone chain and given it to her?
Her second grandfather and elder brother did have this kind of financial strength, but they weren't people who would give her surprises. If she was given a present, they would have definitely told her already on the phone, so ??
Just as she was thinking about it, a familiar male voice sounded from behind her. Do you like it? "
She was stu
ed for a moment. She thought that she had misheard the voice. She turned her head in a daze.
He wore a white shirt, tall, slender, and extraordinarily handsome.
She yearned for him day and night, and now that she finally saw him, she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart. "Brother."
He walked over to her, and probably saw her eyes turn red for a moment, and gently put his arms around her. " "What's wrong?"
She wrinkled her nose and said in a slightly choked voice, "I thought you would never come and see me again ??"
"Idiot." He pulled her into his embrace and comforted her gently, "How could I not come to see you ??"
"She leaned back against his chest and enjoyed the care he brought her." "I thought you were still angry about what happened last time ??"
He sighed softly. Even if he was angry, how could he possibly be angry at you for so long? I just wanted to give you a little more time to reflect on it. "
"Really?" She boldly put her arms around him and pressed herself against his chest. " Brother, you really won't be angry at me? "
He lowered his head and looked at her with a trace of apology in his eyes. Will you blame me for what I did to you last time? "
"??" She shook her head hard, satisfied with the male scent that surrounded her. "I've already forgotten ??"
"He stroked the smooth hair that fell over her shoulders." As long as you stop being so willful in the future, even if I am unable to give you what you want, it will always be your brother. "
"I know, brother."
Satisfied with her answer, he smiled lovingly, put his arm around her shoulders, and rubbed her lightly.
Just when she thought she could hold on to his warm chest, he slowly pulled her away and said gently, "I'll help you put on the collarbone chain."
She knew he was just making an excuse for her to let him go, and she stepped out of his embrace, to be his good sister, smiling and nodding.
He ruffled her hair and helped her, not very skillfully, to put on the collarbone chain.
She tilted her head slightly to look at his beautiful hands. His fingers were clearly defined, and very long. There were some scars on them, revealing his past, but it did not affect his beauty. Instead, it added to his male charm, giving him a domineering and forceful air.
"Dressed." he said to her.
She turned around and looked at him expectantly as she held the pearl in her hand. "Does it look good?"
"You have fair skin that matches the pearls, making you look like a lady in a good family in an instant."
She was upset that she had underestimated him. "Big brother, do you think that I was not a lady or a lady before?"
"What do you think?"
She pursed her lips and went to the mirror in the bedroom to examine herself.
She had to admit that his eyes were really good. This collarbone chain was just as he described it to be, instantly giving her the temperament of a lady in Celebrity.
She liked it.
Of course, the most important reason for liking this collarbone chain was ?? that there was only one in the world, that it represented the only one, and that he had given her the only one.
"She ran happily out of the room and, pretending not to notice, hugged him again." Brother, why would you want to give me a collarbone chain? "
He did not take her hand away and let her hold it. " In fact, Li Nuo chose this one. She said that young girls nowadays all like collarbone chains, and your sight is definitely high. Normal people wouldn't like it, so you let me choose this one. "
For a moment, she knew why he hadn't taken her hand away as he always did, but because he knew that now she would let it go.
That's right, when he mentioned Li Nuo, it was like pouring a bucket of cold water on her hot heart and extinguishing all the flames.
Slowly, little by little, she released him, but she did not show the slightest bit of displeasure. Instead, as he wished, she obediently said, "Then please help me to thank Miss Li. Say that I like the chain she chose."
In an instant, she had cut off more than half of her liking for the chain. The pearl that was shining brightly under the light of the lamp also seemed to have lost its luster.
Of course, she would still wear the collarbone bracelet, because after all, he had bought it, and it was the only one.
He smiled. "Okay."
She didn't want him to continue bringing up Li Nuo, so she intentionally changed the topic, "Uh, why aren't Sister Teng and Xiao Luo at home?
She did not expect that as soon as she finished speaking, the living room had lost its light, and she saw Sister Teng and Xiao Luo pushing a double layered cake towards her.
