Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle - Chapter 232

Chapter 232

Gu Mohan’s magnetic voice resonated through the phone .

At this moment, 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 meals and rest well, okay?”

“Oh, then are you coming home tonight?”

Gu Mohan was silent for a few seconds before answering, “Why? Do you miss me? I need to work overtime tonight . I’ll accompany you tomorrow, hm?”

Oh, I suppose that means you’re not coming home tonight .

Of course . It was Lu Qi’er and his wedding engagement celebration that night . Considering the guest list Qi Xi seemed to be raving about, there must be an exclusive engagement 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 immediately after speaking .

At this moment, 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 engagement banquet .

The engagement banquet of Gu Mohan and Lu Qi’er seemed to be the congregation of all the wealthy and influential members 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 become 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 moment, one of the rich madams said, “Miss Lu, tonight is your engagement 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 became 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 some unknown reason, Madam Xuanji never designed any ring . The only ring she ever designed was this One and Only ring . I heard the meaning behind the ring is truly special . As it’s the only ring of its kind, if is only meant to be given to someone once in their lifetime 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 engagement 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 meaning on our wedding day . ”

“Ah, that’s true . Miss Lu, it looks like you’re going to become 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 handsome tonight . Several older CEOs surrounded him and talked to him, while he listened to them in a composed and indifferent manner .
