Chapter 502: This Watch Suits You Very Well, Miss Ning
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sheng Yan looked at Lu Huaiyu in astonishment.
This master had always been aloof and untamed, ascetic and n.o.ble. From Capital City to Hong Kong City, countless socialites and daughters had never been able to win his favor.
He was truly like a flower of the highest mountains, completely unattainable.
It was surprising for him to say such words about a girl without any reservations…
He was momentarily stunned and said jokingly, “Oh, it seems that Second Master Lu… is very interested in Miss Ning?”
He had merely been joking, but in the next moment, Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and walked directly in that direction.
Sheng Yan’s heart jumped.
Was Lu Huaiyu really going to seek Miss Ning out?!
The other executives behind him were also shocked and subconsciously looked to Sheng Yan.
“Vice President Sheng, this–”
What on earth was going on?
There were many bigwigs from all walks of life present, yet Lu Huaiyu did not go to meet with any of them. Instead, that was the first person that he was heading towards!
“Could it be that Second Master Lu has really taken a fancy to Miss Ning?”
“She’s beautiful. Indeed, she’s extremely beautiful. However, Second Master Lu… doesn’t seem to be that kind of a person…”
There were too many women who were interested in Second Master Lu. There were all kinds of women who pursued him, but unfortunately, he had never shown any interest before.
What was happening today?
Sheng Yan was also at a loss.
However, at this moment, he did not have the time to carefully think about all this. Seeing that Lu Huaiyu had already gone inside, he hurriedly followed him in.
…
In the luxurious and lively banquet hall, countless gazes fell upon Lu Huaiyu.
After a short period of silence, the crowd became restless.
“Is that Second Master Lu of Capital City? I’ve only heard rumors before, but after seeing him today, I know what it means to be worthy of his name…”
“Just his face alone is already stunning. Coupled with his hands, waist, and legs… It’s no wonder that he’s capable of attracting the attention of so many women who can’t wait to pounce on him…”
“Tsk, it’s fine just to look at such a man. There’s definitely no hope for ordinary people.”
“Ah! He seems to be coming this way!”
This commotion had already attracted everyone’s attention.
Naturally, that included Yan Fei and the others.
They all turned around and looked in that direction.
Zuo Ling gently pulled on Yan Fei’s arm. She could not hide the excitement in her voice.
“Feifei, it’s Second Master Lu!”
Zhuo Qianqian also lowered her voice, her eyes filled with envy.
“He seems to be coming this way! Feifei, is he here to look for you?”
Yan Fei blushed a little as she softly replied, “Not necessarily. There are so many important people here. Why would it be me?”
“Vice President Sheng and the others are also accompanying him!” Zuo Ling looked around. “On our end, I reckon that only you and Young Master Gu are acquainted with him. If he’s not looking for you, could it be that he’s looking for Young Master Gu?”
Gu Siyang spent most of his time in the Capital, so it was normal for him to be familiar with him.
However, no matter what, Lu Huaiyu would surely not be looking for Young Master Gu first on this occasion.
In that case, it could only be…
Yan Fei’s face turned even redder, but she did not say anything. She only took a gla.s.s of champagne from the side as she tried hard to calm her racing heart.
However, the more she tried, the more she could not do it.
She took a sip of the champagne, as a burning flame seemed to ignite within her chest.
…
Ning Li looked up.
She was standing a little further inside the room, so she was a little far from the door.
However, when Lu Huaiyu had appeared, she had immediately known.
She had no choice, it had been too obvious.
He had become the focus of the entire banquet hall.
Listening to the commotion beside her, Ning Li secretly sighed.
This man, this face… Indeed, he could never keep a low profile.
She used a small fork to pick up a piece of strawberry pudding, lazily putting it into her mouth and slowly nibbling on it.
…
Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene.
In the eyes of a certain someone, was he less attractive than a strawberry pudding?
Sheng Yan followed by his side, pondering as he walked.
He was quite familiar with Lu Huaiyu, but this was the first time he had ever seen him like this.
He raised his eyes to look at Ning Li.
Yes, she was indeed beautiful, and her temperament was clean and pure.
It was surely rare for a man not to like her, right?
It was no wonder that Second Master Lu, who was usually cool and ascetic, was also interested…
After all, he was the Vice President of the Carlsberg Auction House, so he still had a discerning eye.
Sheng Yan collected his thoughts and explained to Lu Huai in a low voice, “By the way, Miss Ning is also from the mainland. I heard that Gu Tinglan personally invited her to accompany Yu Pingchuan.”
With his status, he would not normally have cared about such a small matter.
However, who asked Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu to become involved?
Now, the whole of Hong Kong City knew that Miss Ning was extremely favored by the Gu family.
“I heard that Old Madam Gu personally took Miss Ning to the Tea Tasting Hall this afternoon.”
The Gu family had deliberately not hidden this matter, and the news spread quickly.
Lu Huaiyu replied lazily, “Hmm.”
She had gone to the tea appointment.
It was for this reason that she had even rejected him.
Sheng Yan was momentarily stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses. He had only casually mentioned a few things that he knew, yet this person had already agreed. Did that mean that he was probably really interested?
He was encouraged to continue to scour his mind for information related to this Miss Ning.
Unfortunately, he did not know much and that was all that he had to say.
Fortunately, a young staff member following behind him was very perceptive and immediately added, “Oh right, Miss Ning seems to have just taken the college entrance exam this year, and she’s the top scorer in science in M Province!”
The corners of Lu Huaiyu’s lips curved slightly.
He continued to walk forward, getting closer and closer to her.
However, suddenly, a figure came forward and stopped him.
“Second Master Lu.”
Yan Fei had a decent smile on her face, and her voice was sweet and soft, with a hint of familiarity.
Everyone was looking at them.
Ever since Lu Huaiyu had come in, this was the first woman who had talked to him.
It was not that the others did not want to, but they did not dare to.
Admittedly, there were many people who were interested in Lu Huaiyu. However, his aura was very strong, and he always exuded a languid and arrogant aura. Therefore, if they were not familiar with him, most people would not dare to rashly approach him.
Many women’s eyes showed a hint of jealousy.
There had long been rumors in Hong Kong City that Second Master Lu treated Yan Fei differently.
Last year, he had bought a watch worth 130 million at the auction in Hong Kong City.
Today, he had bought another watch at the auction for the sky-high price of 170 million, setting a new record once again.
The auctioneer of these two auctions had been Yan Fei.
Now, it seemed that the rumors were true–
Lu Huaiyu’s footsteps came to a stop, and his eyes finally landed on her.
Yan Fei met his deep and cold gaze, and her heart beat even faster.
In the next moment, a man’s deep and cold voice rang in her ears.
“Excuse me.”
The smile on Yan Fei’s face instantly froze.
For a moment, she almost suspected that she had heard wrongly.
He had not even called her name. Instead, only these few words had been said, which were extremely indifferent.
The people around them were also stunned.
The expectant and excited expressions on Zuo Ling, Zhuo Qianqian, and the other people’s faces froze, and they were at a loss for words.
Didn’t he say…
Perhaps it was because Lu Huaiyu’s gaze was so cold, and Yan Fei’s mind was still in chaos which caused her to subconsciously step back.
Her lips moved.
“Lu–”
Lu Huaiyu walked past her without looking back.
However, he soon stopped again.
He was now standing before someone.
“Miss Ning.”
Lu Huaiyu looked at Ning Li and saw that she was still holding the strawberry pudding in her hand. He raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Could you do me a small favor and lend me your hand for a while?”
Countless pairs of eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as they looked over.
Ning Li was slightly stunned, but she still put down the small plate. After thinking for a moment, she reached out her left hand.
The very next moment, everyone saw the man, who had always been cool and reserved, take a box out from the pocket of his suit.
Click.
A watch lay quietly in the box. Diamonds and sapphires were inlaid with each other. The light was so bright that it seemed to gather starlight from the Milky Way.
Someone gasped.
The Mond Mille… That was the watch that had sold for the sky-high price of 170 million today!
He took the watch out and placed the box next to her plate of strawberry pudding.
Then, he took her hand.
He lowered his head and wrapped the watch around her slender wrist with a focused expression.
The little black dress she was wearing today was the purest of colors.
Her skin was delicate and porcelain white. Even if there were no jewelry on her, she was already extremely beautiful.
However, at this moment, the watch around her slender white wrist looked like the Milky Way across the dark night, a sprinkling of thousands of stars.
The Night of the Milky Way was quiet and brilliant.
After fastening the watch strap, the tip of his brows raised slightly as he looked into her eyes.
His thin crimson lips curled up, and a casual smile appeared on the handsome and n.o.ble man’s face.
He chuckled and said, “This watch suits you well.
“Miss Ning.”
