The female star feels herself almost can"t stand sitting here anymore. The famous President Lang is so handsome, but he appears arrogant and unapproachable, as if someone comes near him and he will kill the one. She also feels very awkward. It"s not that she herself wants to sit here.
"h.e.l.lo!"
Suddenly Lang Ruoxian answers the phone call and he changes all his att.i.tude. There is a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes are gentle.
"Tell your mommy that Uncle has to attend a dinner party today. I shall go back later and bring some chocolate biscuits for Gungun. Okay?"
"Okay. Then don"t tell Mommy. I eat secretly."
"Be a good boy. Now hand the phone to your mommy."
"It"s me. I"ll take back what you want to eat at night."
"Okay, bye..."
The female star quickly sits upright. Lang Ruoxian changes to be aloof again and glances at her.
"I didn"t hear anything!" The female star says.
Lang Ruoxian withdraws his eyes and hears the woman beside him speak again.
"Mr. Lang, if the kid eats snacks at night, you can let him use the toothpaste of this brand, which is especially effective in preventing tooth decay!"
Lang Ruoxian looks at the female star"s mobile phone, and she says quickly. "My brother"s children have been using it all the time. It is very good."
"Thank you." Lang Ruoxian takes the photo of the picture shown on her mobile phone.
The female star breathes a sigh of relief. "You are welcome! It"s no big deal."
After that, she bows her head and eats silently. Finally, the auction begins and she quickly leaves here. All the other actresses in the same company stare at her in surprise.
Is there something wrong with this woman? What a great opportunity!
"Haha..." The female star knows what they are thinking. If you can, you go. I shall watch how you play with fire.
There is really someone playing with fire. In the auction items, Lang Ruoxian finds a gla.s.sy species jadeite with good transparency which has been found in an old fluvial deposit. He thinks that Yan Hua likes jewelry very much and buys it.
When the organizer has it delivered, a model who wears very s.e.xy dress stretches out her long leg and almost trips the deliverer up.
"Oh! Sorry, I don"t mean it." After making a fake apology, she takes the opportunity to sit down beside Lang Ruoxian and stays.
Lang Ruoxian doesn"t look at her at all. He signs and keeps well the jade bracelet by himself, not leaving it to Shu Sheng.
"Mr. Lang!" The female model feels that she has found a breakthrough point and asks with watery eyes, "Isn"t this bracelet you bought in the auction particularly magnificent? I don"t know anything about jadeites. So I originally wanted to take part in the auction, but I was afraid I would lose on the deal."
Lang Ruoxian keeps the calm appearance in front of people and coolly glances at her. "The lowest starting bid of the jadeites shown here is at 800,000 yuan."
.".." The smile of the female model fades gradually in her face and she just bites the bullet and goes on to say, "It is also good for a bystander like me to watch the bustling. Haha."
Lang Ruoxian looks at his watch and decides to leave. The organizer personally escorts him to the door. Shu Sheng waits for him by the car. Lang Ruoxian gets into the car and wonders where to buy desserts for Yan Hua at this time.
The sound of drumming suddenly comes outside the car window.
"What can I do for you, miss?" Shu Sheng rolls down the copilot"s window gla.s.s.
It is the female model who sat beside Lang Ruoxian just now. She glances back at Lang Ruoxian and says shyly, "Well... Could you please give me a lift? My car is broken and there is no taxi here."
"You can use the software like Uber to call for a car." Shu Sheng feels himself particularly kind.
However, the female model doesn"t understand his kindness at all and continues to say, "I dare not at such late hour!" After saying so, she keeps glancing at the back seat of the car and pulls her skirt incidentally, revealing half of her chest.
"Go." Lang Ruoxian endures nausea and his tone is not very good.
Shu Sheng hurriedly touches the bodyguard, while the bodyguard keeps staring at the model"s chest. After the car has left for a while, the bodyguard murmurs, "a.s.sistant Shu, do you think it is heavy for her with two b.a.l.l.s of that size?"
"You can try breast implant, too, and you will know whether it is heavy or not." Shu Sheng smiles and says, "I can apply for reimburs.e.m.e.nt for you, and you can be a man who is good at dressing like a woman in the future."
The bodyguard really thinks for a moment, and then shakes his head. "That"s not good. It"s not convenient to wear skirts. Fighting will expose the underwear."
Shu Sheng is speechless.
When Lang Ruoxian comes back, Gungun has already been asleep. He hands the desserts to Yan Hua.
"I shall apologize to him tomorrow for not being punctual."
Yan Hua stands at the door. "It"s late. Go back and rest."
"Okay, you should also go to bed early." Lang Ruoxian smiles and turns back to his home next door.
Yan Hua takes out the desserts and put them in the refrigerator. The desserts are from her favorite dessert shop which is located in the opposite direction to the villa community. Her expression changes slightly. Then she slowly picks up a piece and takes a bite.
Her nose is filled with the sweet and greasy smell, which spreads to her heart through her viscera.
Bang! Yan Hua slams the refrigerator door.
"There is another woman whose name is like an musical instrument... Why are you so moved? Sleep!"
In the next day"s financial news, Lang Ruoxian"s photo is prominent.
"Fei Yi would have gone to the auction yesterday if he hadn"t been busy for something else!" Fei Ying jabbers, "Look! Look! This is the jade bracelet that Lang Ruoxian buys in the auction. It is said to be from the Qing Palace and is of great value."
Yan Hua doesn"t even raise her head when she is playing a game of recognizing characters with Gungun. "This is not the way to use "being of great value". Besides, it wasn"t bought for you by Fei Yi. Why are you so excited about it?"
"But Lang Ruoxian must have bought it for you!" Fei Ying says firmly, "I can see it then. Didn"t he give it to you?"
"Obviously not." Yan Hua looks up at her this time. "Besides, who told you it was for me? Lang Ruoxian himself?"
Fei Ying curls her lips. "Otherwise? He doesn"t know other women..."
Before finishing the sentence, Fei Ying stares big eyes.
"Well..." Yan Hua teases her, "Why not go on?"
"d.a.m.n, I have forgotten the woman on the other side of the sea, whose name is like an musical instrument."
Lang Ruoxian sits at the back of the office staring at the jade bracelet on the table. He feels that something should be added. Yan Hua seems to like showy things. To tell the truth, sometimes the showy things look gaudy, but once Yan Hua wears them, they are beautiful enough to make other women jealous.
Not everyone can be n.o.ble, amazing and elegant after wearing the gaudy things.
The woman he likes can... Lang Ruoxian feels honored with her.
"Have you found the specialist?" Shu Sheng is holding the tablet and searching for something. He looks up and says, "There are three people, but none of them is in G Province."
Lang Ruoxian reaches out and Shu Sheng shows him the tablet.
"This old gentleman whose surname is Qian will come here for a meeting in a few days. We can just let him do it." Shu Sheng clicks on the information of the man. "He is an antique restorer retired from the Imperial Palace, specializing in renovating jade articles."
Few people are able to be skilled at traditional manual techniques of drawing gold or silver into threads and using kingfisher feather to make ornaments nowadays. Lang Ruoxian wants to inlay rubies on the jade bracelet instead of ordinary gold edging. He will discuss with the experts, and then decides how to decorate the bracelet.
"Help me contact this master." He tells Shu Sheng, "The att.i.tude must be very polite."
Each of these masters of inheritance is a national treasure and is worthy of respect and courtesy of all the people.
At the end of April, G City begins to heat up gradually. Today"s atmosphere in Lang Consortium"s building is comparable to the sunny weather outside. President Lang has brought a lady with him. The front desk female receptionist says that the lady is very pretty, especially cla.s.sically beautiful.
"It seems that your goal is almost complete." Qiang Di sits behind Lang Ruoxian"s desk, looking small and exquisite. Her white fingers touch the black leather chair. "In just two years, you have done it."
Lang Ruoxian sees her look trance, so nods at Shu Sheng. Shu Sheng turns and goes out, and in a while brings in a cup of hot milk tea.
"What kind of weather is today? You still make me drink hot drinks." Qiang Di pouts. "Don"t think I"m weak all the time. I just look comparatively thinner."
"You will have a stomachache if you drink something cold." Lang Ruoxian hands her the milk tea, "Don"t make trouble for yourself."
Qiang Di snorts, but still takes it to sip. Her eyes blink and she asks, "Can I meet Yan Hua?"
"No." Lang Ruoxian rubs his eyebrows. "She won"t want to see you."
"Sure enough, she is more important." Qiang Di says so, like a complaint and like a joke. "Then you can bring her to my exhibition! I"ll take a peek."
Lang Ruoxian doesn"t say a word. Qiang Di puts the milk tea on the table, and her expression is somewhat aggrieved. "Just pretend I didn"t say anything!"
"Young Master." Shu Sheng knocks at the door again and comes in. "Time is up."
Lang Ruoxian stands up. "Wait for me for a while. I"ll sign a contract and then take you to dinner. If you feel bored..."
"Go, go!" Qiang Di seems to have forgotten her dissatisfaction just now and waves at him with a smile, "I shall play with my mobile phone. You go quickly!"
After Lang Ruoxian leaving, the company staff begin to spread that this beautiful woman must be President Lang"s girlfriend.
"Isn"t it said that President Lang likes that one?" Someone gossips in the pantry.
"You mean Miss Yan? She"s so beautiful. I think even if I had a plastic surgery, I wouldn"t be as beautiful."
"I don"t know if this lady who comes here today can match, but President Lang can"t choose his girlfriend only by beauty."
"Who knows. But have you seen someone who can stay alone in President Lang"s office? He trusts her so much. Even if she is not his girlfriend, their relationship is unusual..."
Qiang Di doesn"t know that she has already caused the discussion. She walks around the office for a while. There is really nothing interesting to see. She takes out her mobile phone and surfs on the micro blog. Having thought of something, she searches Yan Hua.
"She is really beautiful." Looking at Yan Hua"s photos, Qiang Di"s expression is slightly mocking. She enters the foundation"s webpage, seeing the donation account below. She thinks and clicks on it.
When Lang Ruoxian comes back, he sees Qiang Di playing mobile phone on the sofa.
"Let"s go. What would you like to eat?"
Qiang Di stands up and stretches. The greenness on her wrist makes Lang Ruoxian"s expression slightly changes.
"Why are you wearing this?" He has deep dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he doesn"t show it.
"Isn"t it given to me?" Qiang Di is surprised. "My birthday is coming soon. I think you have prepared it for me in advance."
She waves her wrist and the jade bracelet is flowing light and color there.
"Isn"t it?" She suddenly glares angrily at Lang Ruoxian. "You know I"ve always liked these, but to my surprise, the bracelet with such excellent quality is not given to me?"
Lang Ruoxian never thinks to give her that bracelet. He has chosen the birthday present for her, which is a jadeite pendant, but he hasn"t brought it back.
"I don"t care. I just want this!" Qiang Di looks like a spoiled child at this moment. She says angrily with a bulging face, "Will you give it to me or not?"
Her eyes are watery as if the next second her tears are about to fall. Lang Ruoxian rubs his eyebrows. "Here you are... You just wear it."
